The Prodigies War
chapter-1703

Stepping stone!

Those words had enraged Yan Chunjun when they had come from Lin Xun’s mouth. He had viewed it as a provocation and an insult to him.

Kun Jiulin and Wei Ziya both had also sneered coldly when they heard it, thinking that Lin Xun was too arrogant and must have a death wish.

But those words came true!

Even A’hu was taken aback. Of course, she believed that Lin Xun was not acting arrogantly.

However, she did not expect that Yan Chunjun, an expert in the top 100 of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, would be defeated so quickly.

“You dare!” Kun Jiulin roared.

“Let Yan Chunjun go. If anything happens to him, no one in the Heaven and Earth Dao Court will let you off!” Wei Ziya also threatened in a panic.

Lin Xun acknowledged them.

Crack!

Under his foot, Yan Chunjun’s skull was crushed, and both his body and soul were obliterated.

“You…”

Kun Jiulin and Wei Ziya were both aghast. They felt as if their heads had almost exploded.

Who was Yan Chunjun?

In the Ancient Nebula Road, even the older and more important figures such as Saint-Kings and quasi-Emperors would not dare to kill Yan Chunjun without a good reason.

This was because there would be severe consequences. They would have to face retaliation from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts. Even quasi-Emperors were afraid of being targeted by them.

Any cultivator born and raised in the Ancient Nebula Road would understand the influential power of the Great Six Courts.

Their foundation was terrifying and their power was mighty, enough to influence the entire Ancient Nebula Road!

But Lin Xun couldn’t care less and just crushed Yan Chunjun’s skull with one foot, as though he was crushing a watermelon...

Who would have imagined this?

“It’s over for you. Regardless of who you are or what force you have behind you, you will have to bear the wrath of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court!” Kun Jiulin clamored.

He was still in disbelief because Yan Chunjun’s death was a huge blow to him.

The same was true for Wei Ziya.

“Don’t tell me you guys think you can leave here alive?” A’hu said in a displeased tone, her expression frighteningly cold.

The two bastards were her opponents, but they paid more attention to Yan Chunjun’s death than her. It seemed like they did not take her seriously!

Boom!

Her attacks intensified.

At the same time, Lin Xun sped across the air.

He was about to deliver a deadly attack when his brows suddenly scrunched together and he abruptly halted and turned his head to the other direction.

A body of qi that was so powerful that it seemed tangible was silently locked onto him, cold as frost and emitting a chilling aura.

Lin Xun instinctively felt a sense of threat.

In the distance, sacred white light rained down, forming the outline of a beautiful figure in a white dress, with a delicate golden belt around her waist. Her long black hair flowed down her body like a waterfall.

Her facial features were as beautiful as those in paintings, and her eyes were as clear as the purest spring. She had an elegant demeanor and ethereal beauty just like a fairy from the moon palace.

Wen Qingxue!

She was a successor from the Panwu Dao Court who was ranked third on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings. She was hailed as a rare beauty seen only once in a thousand years!

The group of men and women standing behind her seemed like a backdrop to highlight her beauty and grace. Even the splendor of heaven and earth seemed dim in her presence.

“Be careful of that girl. She may be ranked lower than Yan Chunjun on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, but I can sense that she’s more terrifying than Yan Chunjun.” A’hu sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun remembered that Wen Qingxue was ranked 93rd on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, which was indeed quite a bit lower than Yan Chunjun.

But he knew that the ranking had been determined about ninety years ago!

“This means that, in the past ninety years, Wen Qingxue has made significant progress in her cultivation and surpassed Yan Chunjun.

“In less than five years, the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings will be reevaluated. When that happens, Wen Qingxue’s position will likely rise as well...”

These thoughts flashed through Lin Xun’s mind. Then, he said aloud with a look of indifference, “Are you also here for the Flying Immortal Tablet?”

He spoke impolitely and also very bluntly.

The successors of the Panwu Dao Court furrowed their brows. In the past, which cultivator would not respectfully address Wen Qingxue as Fairy Qingxue upon seeing her?

That guy showed no respect at all!

“As expected from someone who comes from a place like the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He indeed has no manners at all. No matter how powerful he is, he is still an unrefined barbarian,” someone mocked.

It was a handsome and elegant young man in a gorgeous robe, and with an air of pride.

Senior Brother Nie Tian is right!

The other men and women nodded to themselves. The young man in the gorgeous robe was called Nie Tian. He was also a powerful talent with an extraordinary family background.

Among the group, his status and strength was only slightly inferior to that of Wen Qingxue.

Lin Xun swept a glance over Nie Tian and uttered two words, “Seeking death?”

Nie Tian looked flabbergasted for a moment, then a cold light beamed from his eyes. “You…”

His voice abruptly ceased.

This was because the powerful force of a finger was coming at him, crushing the sky and the space as it moved!

The Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger—Omni-Finger!

Regardless of the infinite, I can kill with just one finger.

Nie Tian never expected Lin Xun to be so domineering. He resorted to violence without even saying a word!

The other successors from the Panwu Dao Court were dumbfounded.

In the past, when someone had realized their identities, they would either be extremely cautious or extremely respectful. When had someone ever acted as rudely and violently as Lin Xun?

Rumble—

The vast force of the finger swept unhindered across the area, and the patterns on it were like marks of the great dao interlaced with law power. As tremendous as a sacred mountain and possessing immeasurable power, it was like a finger extended by a divine being from beyond the world.

Most terrifyingly, due to the fact that it contained the secrets of the Great Endless Devour Scripture, it gave the feeling that all living beings in the world would be crushed and devoured under the finger!

Nie Tian’s heart contracted violently in his chest, and his expression changed drastically. Sensing imminent danger, he thrust his palm forward with a furious roar.

The palm force was mighty and majestic like a coiled dragon snake swallowing up the mountains and rivers.

Panwu Dragon Snake Force!

One of the many top inheritances of the Panwu Dao Court.

With a palm strike, a dragon snake rose from the land, rivers and seas overturned, and yin and yang were turned upside down!

The void quaked turbulently with frightening rumbles and the sky seemed to be collapsing.

Clang!

Wen Qingxue frowned. Then, a beam of illusory sword qi shot up and sliced through where the finger force and palm force collided.

Just one sword strike wiped out the deadly collision!

Nie Tian staggered like he was drunk, cheeks flushing, blood and qi tumbling in him. He almost coughed up blood.

Whereas Lin Xun was standing tall, robe fluttering in the wind. He looked as calm and composed as ever.

That winner of that exchange of blows was obvious!

The faces of the Panwu Dao Court successors all turned overcast.

How could they not tell that, if Wen Qingxue had not acted in time, Nie Tian would have fallen into a dangerous situation or possibly been wounded badly even if he blocked the attack?!

“Despicable!” Nie Tian roared in embarrassment. He believed he was only caught off guard because of Lin Xun’s sudden attack.

Lin Xun smiled, his eyes full of undisguised contempt. “If no one helped you...do you think you could have survived?”

Nie Tian was about to refute when Wen Qingxue interrupted him.

“Release Kun Jiulin, and I will let you both go.” She spoke aloud, staring at Lin Xun with her beautiful clear eyes.

Her voice was pleasant and melodious like the tinkling of jade pendants or heavenly music.

Lin Xun was taken aback. He didn’t expect Wen Qingxue to intervene not for the Flying Immortal Tablet, but to save Kun Jiulin!

In the distance, Kun Jiulin, who was in a fierce battle with A’hu, was also taken aback. Then he thought of something, and an embittered look clouded his face.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Do you want to save me because of my elder brother? If so, just leave!”

Wen Qingxue frowned slightly, raised her hand and drew one finger across the air.

Shua!

A beam of illusory sword qi slashed towards A’hu.

Lin Xun teleported across the air, swiping his palm outwards, and with a boom, the sword qi was annihilated and swallowed up. Although he did so with a sense of ease, he was inwardly aghast.

What a terrifying sword qi!

The sword was as ethereal and delicate as a wisp of cloud, but the great dao power contained within it was incomparably pure and sharp, causing a prickling sensation to his skin. He had to mobilize all his strength before he could dispel it.

The successors of the Panwu Dao Court were all ashen-faced as if they saw a ghost. That guy...actually blocked Senior Sister Qingxue’s Great Unhindered Panwu Sword?

Nice Tian’s countenance changed.

The Great Unhindered Panwu Art!

It was an ultimate supreme inheritance of the Panwu Dao Court that only a handful of people in the sect were qualified to study and practice it. It could be said to be the best supreme dao scripture in the entire Ancient Nebula Road.

Anyone who practiced this scripture could unleash strength far superior to that of their peers and possess incredible divine powers.

For example, the sword strike that Wen Qingxue launched just now might seem delicate, but its power was enough to wipe out a supreme Big Saint!

But Lin Xun…

…blocked it.

And he was unscathed!

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Lin Xun differently. How could the unrefined man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain be so strong?

Only Wen Qingxue was unfazed. Her hair was as black as ink, her clothes were whiter than snow, and her figure was as graceful as a fairy descending upon earth.

She said in a cold and clear voice, “If a battle breaks out, you will either die or be seriously injured. Moreover, the commotion here has attracted the attention of the eyes in the dark. If you don’t leave now, you may not be able to leave ever.”

Lin Xun raised his brows and chuckled. “A’hu, let’s go.”

He turned to look at A’hu.

His sudden change of stance surprised many people.

But A’hu seemed to understand his thinking and withdrew from battle without any hesitation.

However, before Wei Ziya could breathe a sigh of relief, a blinding light flashed above his head.

An extremely fine flying blade.

Pu!

The flying blade glinted, and a head dripping with blood flew into the air.

Wei Ziya’s eyes widened in disbelief and bewilderment. In this world…how can there be such a terrifying flying blade?

Bang!

The next second, his body collapsed to the ground, vitality drained and spirit wiped out. He died on the spot.

Meanwhile, A’hu’s pretty face paled. She murmured, “Baby, come back.”

The little flying blade turned into a streak of white light in the air and darted into her palm.

Faintly, a gourd symbol glistened mysteriously in the palm of Ahu’s fair hand.

All this happened almost in the blink of an eye. Everyone froze with horror upon witnessing the bloody scene of Wei Ziya being slaughtered.
