The Prodigies War
chapter-1729

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive and the air seemed to be frozen.

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian were both left speechless by Lin Xun’s overbearing and brutal means. In their hearts, they were both touched and worried.

If this continued, those successors from the Ancient Nebula Road would only hate him to the core and he would have to pay an unimaginable price!

The faces of Gu Cangxin and the others morphed indefinitely.

They were struggling internally, trying to withhold their anger. The fact that Lin Xun used cultivators from their sects to threaten made them feel so tight in the chest that they almost coughed up blood.

They had carefully prepared everything and waited for Lin Xun to come, but before they drew the curtains, Lin Xun had already played such an aggressive and powerful move. This was something that none of them expected.

“Could it be that, in your eyes, the lives of the people I captured have no value?” Lin Xun asked sarcastically.

The countenance of Gu Cangxin and the others changed. Lin Xun’s words harbored evil intentions. If that comment got back to their sect or clan, it would no doubt have a negative effect on them.

“Let them go, and I will release those two,” Tao Jianxing said through gritted teeth.

All the captives heaved a sigh of relief. Even ants were afraid of death, let alone cultivators who had achieved so much on the path of the great dao.

When faced with true death, they would cling to life even more!

“No, you let them go first.” Lin Xun ordered.

“You…” Tao Jianxing fumed.

Before he could finish his words, behind Lin Xun, another captive of the Taowu Battle Clan collapsed with a boom, sputtering blood across the ground. He died on the spot.

Tao Jianxing’s expression turned malevolent and his eyes were almost splitting in anger.

Lin Xun said indifferently, “I already told you to release them first. Besides, I’m standing right here. Are you worried that I will make a run?”

The faces of Gu Cangxin and the others clouded over.

Finally, after a secret discussion, they reached a unanimous decision to release the two!

The others, including the experts captured by Lin Xun, breathed a sigh of relief.

The lives of two Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators were so worthless. How could they be compared to the lives of successors and descendants from the major forces?

Moreover, even if they released these two, could Lin Xun walk away unscathed with his friends?

He wished!

PU!

The iron spike was yanked out from the body of Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, and at the same time, the chain inserted into Yuan Fatian’s shoulder bone was also pulled out.

They both staggered to their feet, dazed and groggy. The feeling of surviving a close brush with death made them feel like it was a dream.

They never thought they would survive…

“Brother Lin! Thank you…”

Yuan Fatian was so grateful that he struggled to form words. His lips quivered, and his voice was hoarse and weak.

Little Golden Winged Dapeng King stumbled forward and clapped Lin Xun on the shoulder without a word, but his eyes were welled up with emotions that could not be expressed in words.

“No problem. As long as I am here, I won’t let the sky fall! After we get rid of those eyesores, I’ll have a drink with you two.” As Lin Xun spoke, he sent the two into the Dao Endless Pagoda, where Toady, A’lu and the others could tend to their injuries.

“Well, release them now!” Gu Cangxin thundered.

Everyone else locked their gazes on Lin Xun. If he dared to try to flee, they would immediately strike with full force.

But to their surprise, Lin Xun willingly did as they say. With a flick of his wrist, the ropes around the captives were loosened.

The captives were overjoyed to escape alive and hurriedly darted over to Gu Cangxin and the others.

Gu Cangxin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hahaha, Lin Xun, you idiot, did you really think I would let them go so easily?” Tao Jianxing laughed smugly.

“I have planted the Thousand Poisonous Toxin in the bodies of your two friends. I can kill them with one thought!”

Those words lifted everyone’s spirit. The pent-up anger and frustration in their hearts were immediately swept away.

No one expected Tao Jianxing to have a backup-plan!

“Is it too early to celebrate?” But Lin Xun was unflustered and showed not a shred of panic. There was even a hint of a sneer tugging the corner of his lips.

Bang!

Before his voice had faded, a freed Taowu Battle Clan expert suddenly went stiff and silently collapsed to the ground.

His body remained, but his spirit had been obliterated!

This unexpected scene made Tao Jianxing’s smile freeze on his lips, and everyone else was stricken with terror.

“That…”

The pupils of Gu Cangxin and others shrank.

Tao Jianxing might have a backup plan, but would Lin Xun not have another trick up his sleeve?

Everyone was filled with shock and anger.

“Now, hand over the antidote. If you dare to play another trick, I guarantee that all the captives will die an ugly death,” Lin Xun warned coldly.

Tao Jianxing’s face turned livid, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. In the previous face-off, Lin Xun had always got the upper hand, which made him almost explode with anger.

“Brother Tao, do as he says. Later we will kill him fair and square!” Gu Cangxin advised.

“Fine!” Tao Jianxing finally agreed, took out two green silkworms, and tossed them over to Lin Xun.

After Lin Xun checked them and found nothing unusual, he handed them over to Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King who were in the Dao Endless Tower.

He only relaxed when he confirmed the two had no other issues on them.

“Little Silver, return.” Lin Xun said aloud, and with a swoosh, a flash of silver light whizzed out from one of the captured experts and returned to Lin Xun.

It was precisely Little Silver.

The cultivator who was used as a hiding spot by Little Silver was so frightened that he crumpled down on the floor, heart shaking with fear.

Gu Cangxin and the others all raised their brows and secretly felt fortunate.

Immediately, their expressions became like ice, and they stared at Lin Xun with undisguised murderous intent.

“Lin Xun, what other tricks do you have now?” Tao Jianxing smiled sinisterly.

“Do you not remember your mistakes?”

Lin Xun glanced at him coldly, which brought a feeling of fear tinged with confusion in Tao Jianxing. Could it be that...this guy has some other hidden tricks up his sleeve?

The next moment, Lin Xun laughed, “Are you scared? Don’t worry, I am not as shameless and despicable as you all.”

“You…” Tao Jianxing was exasperated. He was embarrassed to be played by Lin Xun.

At the bottom of the mountain, many cultivators who had witnessed everything happening on the mountain peak could not help feeling astonished.

Faced with such a line-up, anyone else would have broken down and surrendered long ago.

But Lin Xun was calm and unrattled even if he was facing the powerful group of enemies alone! His god-like powers visibly moved many people!

However, the situation was now clear.

All the spectators were worried for Lin Xun. Did he really plan to deal with all the enemies alone?

This was unbelievable!

“Lin Xun, you killed Yan Chunjun, a successor of our Heaven and Earth Dao Court. We must settle this score today!” Gu Cangxin shouted, unable to hold back anymore.

Although Lin Xun had previously one-upped them every single time, they did not lose anything.

But now it was different. Lin Xun was alone on the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain. This was the best time to kill him!

Tao Jianxing uttered coldly, “If you voluntarily hand over your Flying Immortal Tablet and kneel down to atone for your sins, then I will call the shots and give you a way out.”

“Hmph! A way out? Don’t even think about it. This kid must die today!” Kun Jiulin’s face darkened.

Others also spoke up one after another, all surrounded with murderous intent. They viewed Lin Xun as on the chopping block. Some coveted his Flying Immortal Tablet, while others were after his life.

Some had their eyes on his treasures, because they knew that when he was near the inverted mountain of the Treasure Refining Land, he brought out a mysterious pagoda and an incredible jade bottle that blocked the combined attacks of many powerful cultivators.

The spectators from afar were nervous and worried for Lin Xun. He was in danger!

“Are you done?” Lin Xun suddenly asked aloud, a contemptuous smile spreading across his face. “I came for one thing only this time, you all…must die!”

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone’s eyes widened with disbelief, as if they were looking at a madman!

“Hahaha, it’s obvious that the little trash hasn’t realized his situation yet, so he dares to spew such nonsense!” Gu Cangxun burst out laughing.

A streak of black sword qi swirled around him before roaring into the sky like a ferocious ancient god.

“Fight!” At the same time, Tao Jianxing shouted.

Boom!

Divine light suddenly surged like waves on the top of the Imperial Dragon Mountain, transformed into countless obscure symbols, crisscrossed in midair and formed a tremendous array that obscured the sky.

The moment the array took shape, wind raged, thunder rumbled, and every direction changed color. Howls of demons and gods resounded and mantra chanting filled the area. Great dao law power evolved into visions of a world of chaos, engulfing everything.

Demon Slaying World Chaos Array!

It was an ancient Saint array of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court. Legend had it that it was personally created by an Emperor Stage cultivator in ancient times, hence its astonishing destructive power.

This was the trump card that Gu Cangxin and the others carefully prepared.

Instantly, Lin Xun’s figure was submerged in it and disappeared from view.

On the mountain path below, all spectators were aghast. The array appeared without any notice and no trace of it was detected before.

Moreover, the array emitted a frightening aura that instilled fear in many supreme Big Saints.

“Lin Xun was still too careless. This is a death trap. Gu Cangxin and the others clearly put in a lot of effort and preparation to kill him…” Many people sighed to themselves.

Gu Cangxin and the others all wore menacing expressions. This idiot was so bold as to come here alone to seek death. Did he really think that we had done nothing these days?

“Activate the array to eradicate the evil!” Gu Cangxin issued the order without delay.

From the beginning to the end, they never underestimated Lin Xun once. It was precisely because they regarded him as a powerful and dangerous character that they did not scruple to join forces to set up the frighteningly destructive Demon Slaying World Chaos Array.

They wanted to deal a fatal blow to Lin Xun.

And now, it was time to haul the net and kill the enemy!

Amidst the drastic changes, A’hu, who was hiding among the crowd of spectators, smiled ruminatively.

If a dao rune founder who could construct the impenetrable City of Protection with just his own strength was killed by such an array…

…that would be the most absurd thing in the world!
