The Prodigies War
chapter-1755

A'hu was in a difficult situation and had a grave look on her beautiful face.

Her opponent was Xu Lingkun, a pure-blooded descendant of the Imperial Xu Clan, who was ranked thirteenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. He was considered a peerless overlord among his peers!

Although A'hu had previously encountered several opponents and eventually killed them while climbing the stairs, things had been relatively easygoing.

Moments earlier, however, Xu Lingkun had suddenly turned around and rushed down the stairs, catching A'hu off guard.

Rumble!

With an ice-cold expression, he swung his fist with the intent to kill. His vital energy roared like an ocean as dazzling golden rays transformed into a burst of fist force.

Despite her best efforts, A'hu was pushed back and staggered several steps down.

Xu Lingkun spoke in a deep voice, "Miss, my proposal still stands. Obediently serve me and I promise to spare your life!"

His tall and majestic figure flowed with golden light. Every movement and gesture he made seemed to roar: who else but me in all of heaven and earth?

Rumble!

As he spoke, he continued his merciless onslaught like a domineering and ruthless golden battle god.

A'hu revealed a mocking expression. "Make me submit and then use me to humiliate or threaten Lin Xun?"

"Clever!" Xu Lingkun didn't hide his intentions.

"Keep dreaming," A'hu scoffed.

She was in a precarious situation where she was repeatedly forced to retreat, causing her face to turn slightly pale.

There were two main reasons for this. First, the mysterious dao restriction that covered the Fengshan Trail made it impossible to use treasures or other external powers.

Second, while advancing up the trail was like sailing against the current, moving in the opposite direction was pretty much smooth sailing.

In this way, one could use the mysterious pressure against an opponent.

As such, Xu Lingkun's already terrifying combat power became even more overwhelming when used in conjunction with the mysterious pressure!

If it weren't for these factors, A'hu wouldn't be in such a sorry position.

A'hu frostily asked, "Aren't you afraid of missing out on the opportunity if you waste your time trying to hinder me while everyone else is rushing to the Fengshan Platform?"

"How laughable. You should be more concerned about yourself when you're already so close to your demise."

Xu Lingkun laughed. His long hair fluttered around him as he disdainfully looked down at her with cruel eyes and said, "My spirit is like a blade that can split the wind and waves."

Rumble!

His fist force shone radiantly as it burst forth like a flash flood.

Amidst the thunderous collision, A'hu swayed unsteadily as blood flowed from the corner of her lips.

"My heart is like a mountain that stands unmoving!"

Rumble!

Xu Lingkun's presence grew increasingly terrifying and oppressive. The golden light flowing along him blazed, making him resemble a sacred battle spirit from ancient times.

A'hu grunted and ultimately managed to block the blow. However, she was forced another five steps down, and her complexion turned even paler.

On the stone steps above, a fairy-like figure silently watched amidst the chaos qi, her beautiful face as calm as a lake.

Xue Wenqing!

It was then that she finally spoke, "Brother Xu, it will be better if you spare her life. The dead can't threaten Lin Xun."

Her voice was flat and emotionless.

Xu Lingkun indifferently replied, "Don't worry, I understand that better than you. My body is like the sky, unrivaled in the world!"

Xu Lingkun suddenly drew a deep breath and his fist force changed again, becoming increasingly terrifying as it rumbled with dao law power and shone with thousands of golden light rays.

A'hu's expression finally changed. She didn't have the confidence to block this attack nor avoid it because its aura had already locked onto her.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over from the stone steps below.

Of note, every step was covered in terrifying pressure that functioned like layers upon layers of barriers. Even a top-tier expert would face great difficulty climbing the steps and have no choice but to be extra careful.

Despite this, the figure seemed to move unhindered. He arrived in the blink of an eye and pulled A'hu behind him.

At the same time, he threw a right punch.

Boom!

An earth-shattering collision sounded as the nearby chaos qi was scattered.

On the stone steps, the figure stood tall and unmoving as if his feet were rooted to the ground. Only his clothes and long hair fluttered in the wind.

"Lin Xun?" A'hu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Leave this to me."

Lin Xun's black eyes were frighteningly cold as heart-palpitating murderous intent surged within them.

Opposite them, Xu Lingkun also revealed a look of surprise but it soon turned into a frown. "Heh, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

Further up on the stone steps, Wen Qingxue sighed softly.

Just one more step!

Unfortunately, Lin Xun appeared at the crucial moment...

"Brother Xu, the opportunity is lost. We should leave."

Wen Qingxue had already turned around and began walking up the steps again. She didn't linger any further because she knew that this wasn't the best timing to clash with Lin Xun.

"I'll settle things with you later."

Xu Lingkun snorted coldly and glanced at Lin Xun before he also turned to leave.

"Leave? Did I allow you guys to leave?"

While speaking, Lin Xun made his move.

Rumble!

His fist rose like an abyss seeking to devour the skies.

"You're courting death!"

Xu Lingkun's expression darkened as he abruptly spread out his limbs. Golden thunderbolts seemed to flash in his eyes as he swung his fist downward in a hacking motion, intending to meet the attack head-on.

The punch's aura had changed again, now filled with monstrous qi and blood power as it blazed brilliantly while producing numerous law runes.

He struck like a battle god descending from the heavens!

It felt as if the sun and the moon had collided. Dreadful fist force exploded in the air as a blinding radiance illuminated the ancient stone steps.

Lin Xun and Xu Lingkun both took a step back.

However, the significance of their steps was completely different!

Due to the mysterious pressure of the Fengshan Trail, Lin Xun was like a boat sailing against the current, so it was only logical that he would be forced to take a step back.

On the other hand, Xu Lingkun was akin to a boat following the current. The step he took was equivalent to going against the mysterious pressure!

This made it clear that it would be Xu Lingkun's complete loss if their positions were reversed.

Xu Lingkun's expression flickered slightly, evidently realizing the difference their steps signified.

Lin Xun nonchalantly asked, "You said your spirit was like a blade?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward with a posture of pure confidence.

Xu Lingkun's hair stood on end, his instincts screaming at him as if he were being stared at by a primordial beast.

Retreat!

Not wishing to linger a moment longer, he immediately turned into a streak of gold that rushed up Fengshan Trail.

With a whoosh, Lin Xun gave chase. Although his speed didn't seem fast, he inconceivably arrived behind Xu Lingkung within moments!

"Scram!"

Xu Lingkun was indeed the thirteenth-ranked peerless overlord of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings and didn't panic even under such circumstances.

His five fingers clenched into a fist and he punched Lin Xun with unimaginable power and ferocity.

Great Void Fist!

Xu Lingkun had activated a secret art to stimulate the potential of his blood and qi. Although it seemed like an ordinary punch, it had the power to shatter mountains and reverse the sun and moon.

Rumble!

Even the mysterious pressure covering Fengshan Trail was scattered by the punch, displaying its absurd power.

However, Lin Xun didn't try to dodge. Instead, a sword mountain rushed out from him.

Bang!

This sword mountain was shattered in an instant but it was quickly followed by other sword mountains that were covered in radiant sword intent.

Bang bang bang~

The Earth Deity Sword Mountains shattered one after another and scattered into light particles. Despite this, they ultimately succeeded in neutralizing Xu Lingkun's punch.

With a sea-like rumble, sword mountains continued to emerge, causing Xu Lingkun to become flustered as he attacked with all his might.

When he finally neutralized the power of all seventy-two Earth Deity Sword Mountains, he was left in a rather disheveled state. His hair was scattered and his clothes were ragged due to being cut by the sword qi.

His expression grew increasingly stormy as rage rose between his brows.

Rumble!

However, he wasn't given any time to catch his breath. Lin Xun approached like a mighty abyss, fully unleashing his dharma. Even a casual blow from him pulsed with unrivaled power.

In an instant, the two exchanged over a dozen blows.

Since they couldn't use treasures or escape into the air, they could only clash directly on the narrow path!

Moments later, Xu Lingkun staggered backward after his shoulder was smashed by Lin Xun's palm. Blood splattered, revealing flesh and even cracked bone.

Xu Lingkun groaned in pain as his expression finally changed.

Only after facing Lin Xun did Xu Lingkun truly realize how terrifying he was.

"Didn't you say your heart is a mountain that stands unmoving?"

Lin Xun's black eyes grew increasingly frosty as his aura rumbled even louder, making it feel as if they were surrounded by the deafening roar of the dao.

Xu Lingkun's eyes darkened as he unleashed his full strength.

Rumble!

Golden divine flames burned from him, growing to a height of several dozen feet as he swung his fists with much greater force than before as if they were mountains.

However, he was soon struck again by Lin Xun's palm, causing the heart protector on his chest to groan and crack.

Meanwhile, blood spurted from Xu Lingkun's mouth and nose as he was pushed several steps higher!

Even A'hu couldn't help but gasp.

It was difficult to climb the Fengshan Trail. Each step required more power to resist the increasing mysterious pressure.

Yet, Xu Lingkun had been forced several steps upward! What kind of terrifying force was needed to make this happen?

"You said your body was like the sky, unrivaled in the world?"

Clothes fluttering, Lin Xun advanced like a god of slaughter emerging from the abyss, exuding a presence that was domineering without equal.

Xu Lingkun was furious and alarmed, unable to believe or accept that Lin Xun's combat power would be so strong and frightening.

In the end, Xu Lingkun gritted his teeth and turned around to flee up Fengshan Trail.

Since the Fengshan Platform was waiting above, he didn't want to fight Lin Xun to the death here.

"Can you escape?"

How could Lin Xun allow him to? Electricity seemed to flash in his eyes as he pursued.

The Fengshan Trail was a fearsome trial that countless experts struggled with, and each step required tremendous effort to climb.

In fact, some experts had long been rendered unable to move and had no choice but to give up.

Presently, a tragic chase was occurring on the ancient stone path!

Even the mysterious pressure was unable to stop the duo as Xu Lingkun desperately fled while Lin Xun closely pursued.

Although Xu Lingkun had attacked A'hu alone, he was obviously working with Wen Qingxue!

Therefore, Xu Lingkun also had to die!
