The Prodigies War

chapter-1735
Lin Xun’s eyes glazed over in a trance.
Many years had passed since, but he still remembered that the bronze bell was called the Dao Ruleless Bell!
However, was the bell in the Worship of All Spirits drawing really the Dao Ruleless Bell?
“Argh!” Lu Xuanji’s roar suddenly boomed out. He stood in front of the stone wall with his long hair whipping around him and was about to explode with rage.
All the other cultivators nearby were as silent as winter cicadas.“Brother, countless cultivators have come here throughout history, but to this day, no one has been able to gain recognition from this drawing.” A hoarse voice sounded, “Since you also can’t then why don’t you give up? There are so many other fortunes and opportunities in the Kunlun Dominion. If you continue to waste your time here...it’s not worth it.”
Lin Xun and A’hu noticed that at the bottom of the mountain, in the midst of the chaos qi, sat a slender, cross-legged figure.
The man’s hair was disheveled around his handsome face, and he wore an indifferent expression. In front of him was a sinister blood-red sword inserted into the ground.
A gray chain extended out from the blood-red sword, and the other end of the chain was pierced into the bodies of a number of cultivators.
“Huh?” Lin Xun’s pupils shrank.
The figures that were restrained and pierced by the gray chain turned out to be Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe, Chi Lingxiao, Yue Jianming and others!
However, they all had wooden expressions and dull, lifeless eyes, like puppets. It was as though they were in an unconscious state.The gray chains dug into their bodies like bloodsucking ants. Streaks of blood were being drawn up and flowing towards the blood-red sword that was inserted into the ground.
“The art of tempering weapons with Saint blood.”
A cold light flashed in A’hu’s eyes as she recognized the bizarre weapon-tempering technique. It was a secret art of the Blood Qilin Battle Clan. It involved using the blood and soul of Saints as nourishment to temper Saint weapons. It was an extremely ruthless and domineering art.
“Those bastards are so cruel...”
When Lin Xun learned this, his expression turned even colder. “A’hu, we will split up. I’ll kill Lu Xuanji, and you go rescue Mi Hengzhen and the others.”
A’hu agreed without any wavering, “Alright!”
Lin Xun thought for a moment and reminded her, “The lives of Mi Hengzhen and the others are in the hands of that guy. When you take action, you must...”
A’hu reassured, “Don’t worry, I promise to kill that guy right away and not let your friends get hurt.”
Lin Xun nodded.
Both became silent, preparing to strike!
“Lu Chong, did you just say I can’t do it?”
In front of the stone wall, Lu Xuanji’s face darkened, and he shot an ice-cold stare at the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The young figure called Lu Chong said indifferently, “I just don’t want you to waste your time anymore.”
Lu Xuanji snorted coldly and refocused his attention onto the Worship of All Spirits drawing on the stone wall, eyes smoldering with resentment and frustration.
“That’s the Power of all Living Beings. If I can successfully control it, I will transform into a True Sage from a Saint!
“There is only the difference of one word between Saint and Sage, but the cultivation stage they represent are completely different!
“Only those who have successfully carried out the Saint Path Ritual are called Sages. They can control the Power of all Living Beings and one day become Saint-Kings of the Supreme Path!
“This kind of blessing and opportunity is incredibly rare in the Ancient Nebula Road. Now that I have encountered it, how can I give up so easily?
“As long as I wield the Power of all Living Beings, I will earn my place in the top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saints Rankings!”
Lu Xuanji grew increasingly emotional and excited as he spoke.
Finally, he took a deep breath and he glowed brightly again. He spread his spirit sense to communicate with the Worship of All Spirits on the stone wall.
Boom!
But the next moment, his body convulsed violently, as if struck by lightning, and he was blasted across the air, coughing up blood.
The nearby cultivators shuffled uneasily.
Lu Chong scrunched his brows. “It can’t be forced, so why bother?”
“Shut up!” Lu Xuanji howled like a madman. He climbed to his feet, released his spirit sense and power to communicate with the depiction on the stone wall.
Shua!
It was at this moment when a snow-white broken blade shot through the air and slashed down at an astonishing speed.
It felt as though a river of stars of the nine heavens appeared out of thin air!
“Careful!” Almost at the same time, Lu Chong yelled out.
But still, his reminder was too slow.
Lu Xuanji, solely focussed on receiving the recognition of the Power of all Living Beings, never expected there to be a sudden attack.
Moreover, it was incredibly fast and domineering!
He had no time to dodge at all and could only rely on his instincts gained from years of battle to fight back.
Boom!
With a deafening rumble, he was struck and sent flying. His armor split and exploded under the impact, and a bone-deep wound was left in his chest. Blood spewed out like a waterfall.
Thud!
He smashed into the ground, groaning and grimacing.
“This is bad! A sneak attack!”
The nearby cultivators quickly reacted by bringing out their treasures and weapons. Their expressions had dramatically changed. Murderous intent swirled around them, and they all were on high alert.
“Which shameless bastard dared to sneak up on me?” Lu Xuanji roared, his face turning livid and menacing. The wounds on his body repaired themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shua!
The Broken Blade flashed, slashing down at him again.
It was at this moment that Lu Xuanji finally saw his opponent and couldn’t help crying out in shock, “Lin Xun! How could it be you?”
Before his voice died away, he was wounded and sent flying once again by the Broken Blade, repeatedly coughing up blood.
Even though he had made sufficient preparations and defended with his all, he was still overpowered by Lin Xun’s all-out attack!
“Kill!”
The nearby cultivators dared not waver at all and immediately took action.
Lin Xun was like a gust of fierce wind, his glowing figure rushing across the battlefield in a violent onslaught, displaying his own strength to its fullest.
Rumble!
Instantly, amidst the deafening rumble, cultivators who charged at him were defeated and blasted away.
Several were killed on the spot, bodies smashed into pieces!
Many could not believe the horrifying scene.
Even Lu Xuanji inhaled sharply. That guy...is much stronger than when he was on the inverted mountain.
But what made him most uneasy was that he did not know how Lin Xun...got in here.
The summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain was guarded by powerful experts including Gu Cangxin, Tao Jianxing and Kun Jiulin, and enveloped by an ultimate killing array.
If Lin Xun showed up here then did that not mean the ambush and trap set up by Gu Cangxin and the others failed to stop him?
With this thought, Lu Xuanji trembled inwardly.
He was well aware that the set up on Imperial Dragon Mountain could kill Saint-Kings, yet it posed no barrier to Lin Xun. How could that be?
Rumble!
Without giving Lu Xuanji any time to think, Lin Xun charged towards him with terrifying killing intent. He was like an ancient demon god descending upon the world. His body was as tremendous as an abyss and as powerful as a raging bull.
Each of the cultivators who attempted to obstruct him was a one-of-a-kind fierce character with a cultivation base no less than the Big Saint Stage.
But before Lin Xun, they were all slaughtered like chickens!
Within moments, the army was utterly crushed and blood flowed like a river.
“Die!” Lin Xun’s eyes locked onto Lu Xuanji like a flash of cold lightning.
His frightening bearing made Lu Xuanji shudder uncontrollably.
“Lin Xun, do you want to watch those people die?”
Suddenly, Lu Chong asked coldly, threatening Lin Xun with the lives of Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe and the others.
He appeared very calm.
Lin Xun paused.
As though he saw hope again, Lu Xuanji burst into a sinister laughter, “Lu Chong, kill one of the prisoners first to teach this little bastard a lesson!”
“Idiot.” Lin Xun’s eyes gleamed with a hint of pity, before he resumed his charging forward stance, as if he couldn’t care less about their threat.
Lu Xuanji was completely caught off guard.
Boom!
The next moment, he was flying across the air again, body dripping with blood and a horrible wound almost split him in half.
It should be mentioned that Lu Xuanji was a pure-blooded descendant of the Blood Qillin Battle Clan. Lu Ang, who had died at the hands of Lin Xun, was also not as strong as him.
But in the head-on confrontation, he was still crushed by Lin Xun!
“Lu Chong, why are you not doing anything?” Lu Xuanji roared in a panic.
Thud!
A horrifying, bloody scene happened. The head of Lu Chong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly rolled off his neck and blood jetted out like a fountain!
“He…”
Lu Xuanji looked as though his soul had left his body. He died just like that, silent and without a word?
At the same time, A’hu floated in front of Lu Chong’s headless corpse, her yellow dress fluttering like an illusion.
She waved her hand gently and muttered, “Baby, return.”
A near transparent flying blade flashed into the palm of her hand, turned into a mysterious gourd pattern, and disappeared without a trace.
God Slayer Gourd!
In order to kill Lu Chong as quickly as possible, A’hu had once again summoned this mysterious ancient treasure.
However, Lu Xuanji was not able to witness all this.
Boom!
While his mind was still in a state of shock, Lin Xun came charging towards him and swung the Broken Blade, slicing him in half at the waist.
“You…” Lu Xuanji’s eyes were filled with bitterness and resentment even at death.
Everything happened too fast.
From the moment Lin Xun launched into action to Lu Chong being killed, it ended in just a few breaths.
Both Lin Xun and A’hu did not hold back at all, hoping to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop!
How could Lu Xuanji and the others survive their calculated attack?
Lin Xun breathed a long sigh, then without a glance at the corpses scattered all over the ground, he came over to A’hu and asked, “How are they?”
A’hu had already started to remove the gray chains on Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe, and the others.
“Their bodies are surrounded by the power of secret forbidden spells. Their lives are not in danger now, but it will take some time to break the chains,” A’hu answered.
“That’s good.”
Lin Xun could finally relax, but he was not idle either. He cleaned up the spoils on the battlefield and organized them. Seeing that A’hu was busy, he did not want to disturb her and went over to the stone wall.
He raised his eyes and stared at the bell in the Worship of All Spirits drawing, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Could this really be the Dao Ruleless Bell?
