The Prodigies War
chapter-1776

The sea of clouds swirled like ocean waves. Standing atop the Grand Universe Ark, one was presented with a clear view of Snowdrift Sacred Mountain and the rows upon rows of ancient buildings lining the distant mountain.

That was where Tianxing Sword Sect was located, a place that countless cultivators in the Tianqu World looked up to.

Nan Qiu’s eyes glazed over as she fell into a trance again.

When she actually arrived here she felt an indescribable nervousness and pressure bearing down on her.

The Tianxing Sword Sect!

As someone who grew up in the Tianqu World, it was a sacred place, unreachable and not to be desecrated.

But today, Lin Xun brought her here and they showed up in the sky in such an open and imposing manner!

“Are you scared?” Lin Xun asked softly.

Nan Qiu nodded then shook her head, seeming very conflicted.

Lin Xun sighed, “Silly girl, when Tianxing Sword Sect tore up the engagement contract, did they ever consider your feelings? When Mu Xiuyuan signed the marriage annulment letter, did he think about you?”

Nan Qiu’s eyes immediately reddened, and the long repressed anger surged forth from her heart like a tsunami. She took a deep breath and said, “I have never liked him. I just hate him for humiliating me and trampling on my self-esteem in such a way. How can I hold my head up in the future?”

Lin Xun spoke in a gentle voice, “That’s right, they did something wrong and so they have to bear the consequences of it.”

“Who is so brave to fly here without permission?”

A bellow resounded from the distant Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

Rumble—

The sea of clouds rolled and dissipated as a beam of sword light tore through the sky with a roar like a divine rainbow. It transformed into a man dressed in a wide sleeve robe with a wide belt.

He stood atop the flying sword, sleeves fluttering and long hair dancing in the air. Fierce and domineering sword qi roared around him.

A chorus of cheers rang out from the city at the foot of the mountain.

“It’s Duanmu Jiang, one of the six true disciples of the Tianxing Sword Sect. He is an outstanding supreme King who cultivates the Tianxing Thousand Shadow Sword!”

“So that’s the elegance of a disciple of Tianxing Sword Sect. Incredible!”

“Hahaha, that guy is in trouble. He flew a ship near Tianxing Sword Sect in such a cocky manner, isn’t he seeking death?”

Amid the discussion, Duanmu Jiang fixed his gaze on Lin Xun like a terrifyingly sharp sword and said aggressively, “No matter who you are, you have violated the rules of our Tianxing Sword Sect. I will give you a chance to show repentance and atone for your sins. Otherwise, die!”

His voice was ruthless and cold.

In Tianqu World, Tianxing Sword Sect was the supreme ruler, which gave Duanmu Jiang the confidence to act extremely mighty and domineering.

“Die?”

Lin Xun grinned. He was surprised that a disciple from a sect in a remote world could be so overbearing.

“It looks like you are too stubborn to admit wrong!”

Duanmu Jiang’s expression turned ice-cold, and with a swoosh, the sword at his feet shot out, turning into a streak of rainbow, and slashed towards the Grand Universe Ark.

Lin Xun flicked his finger.

Bang!

The sword broke into shards.

Duanmu Jiang trembled and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He paled with horror, realizing that something was wrong and turned around to flee.

But it was too late.

Lin Xun simply made a grabbing motion in the air and Duanmu Jiang was caught like a little chick. With a puff, he exploded in midair.

Blood rained down.

Nan Qiu’s eyes bulged wide, and her heart tumbled like the sea in her chest. So strong!

The city below fell dead silent. Cultivators who were excited to watch the battle were stupefied by the outcome.

Duanmu Jiang was crushed to death with one hand?!

He was one of the six true disciples of Tianxing Sword Sect!

“That guy...clearly came with ill intent,” said someone in a trembling voice.

“Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?”

After a moment, the entire city erupted in an uproar. Everyone stared at Lin Xun with bewildered looks on their faces.

At this moment, Lin Xun put away the Grand Universe Ark and said aloud, “Where is Mu Xiuyuan? Tell him to get out here!”

Those words blasted the clouds in every direction like a peal of thunder from the nine heavens. The sky and the earth quaked as his voice echoed.

The booming voice stung the cultivators’ ears and left many with a constant buzzing sound in their ears. Unable to bear the pain, they almost coughed up blood!

“Mu Xiuyuan...he came to find Mu Xiuyuan!” Many people cried out in surprise.

The city was becoming more and more turbulent. The Battle of Tianqu Kings was about to begin, and countless cultivators had already gathered around Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

Who would have imagined that someone would appear out of nowhere and make a scene at the entrance of Tianxing Sword Sect?!

This was a shocking matter. Tianxing Sword Sect was the strongest force in Tianqu World, and never had something as shocking as this had ever happened before.

“Interesting. In so many years, I have never seen anyone dare to come and provoke us.” A deep and cold voice sounded.

A beam of crimson light shot up from the mountain and came at teleportation speed. It transformed into a tall old man in a crimson robe, emitting a powerful aura.

“Elder Zhuo Ming!”

Many cultivators in the city recognized the crimson-robed old man. He was Crimson Cloud Sword Saint, an elder of Tianxing Sword Sect, who was known for his violent temper and ruthless nature. Countless people had died at his hands.

A group of men and women followed Zhuo Ming, all standing atop flying swords and had an extraordinary appearance and bearing.

From afar, it looked as though a group of sword immortals had graced the world.

The line-up astonished all the cultivators in the city. They knew that Lin Xun’s words had infuriated Tianxing Sword Sect.

But to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun paid no attention to any one of them. He was completely unfazed and remained as calm as ever.

He just asked aloud, “Is Mu Xiuyuan here?”

“How dare you?! Who do you think you are? Do you know who Senior Brother Mu is? How can a nobody like you meet him?” A green-robed woman berated.

Lin Xun threw a glance over her and a pair of divine light beamed from his eyes like swords.

Pu!

The green-robed woman died on the spot with blood spurting everywhere.

The area went dead silent again.

Even the city became filled with an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere.

Lin Xun was too overbearing. He killed at the slightest disagreement and gave no respect to Tianxing Sword Sect at all. His domineering attitude and power instilled fear in everyone.

Nan Qiu stood there, utterly stunned. She never imagined that Brother Lin would be so terrifying in battle. It was as if he had become a different person.

How…strong is he?

“If you don’t want to die, then tell Mu Xiuyuan to get out here now.”

Lin Xun’s voice was indifferent and his eyes were dark and unfathomable. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his aura was so ordinary that it was unnoticeable.

This was the power controlling skill that he had honed during the six torturous years in the cold, desolate starry sky. When he did not move, not a shred of energy would be wasted.

Once he launched an attack, it would be a fatal blow!

“You…how dare you?!”

Zhuo Ming’s face was livid. Someone had killed right under his nose, but he could not even react. He felt both angry and ashamed.

Boom!

He attacked without wavering. Majestic fiery red sword qi rushed into the sky like rain, stirring the universe and unleashing a berserk murderous aura.

Once a Saint was enraged, there would be a bloodbath.

Crimson Cloud Sword Saint, who enjoyed great fame in Tianqu World, was a supreme Big Saint. Once he took action, he was unquestionably extraordinary.

Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the outcome was decided.

But the next moment, a scene that horrified everyone happened—

Lin Xun flicked his finger indifferently, and the mighty crimson sword qi that was gushing in his direction was firmly frozen in midair.

Then, with a boom, it exploded like a splendid firework display, dazzling the eyes of everyone.

“That…”

Everyone spaced out with astonishment.

“You must want to die.”

Lin Xun gave his sleeve a flourish, and with a boom, the Bi’an Stamp came crashing down from the sky, blotting out the sun. Dao laws erupted in a blaze of light.

Zhuo Yang panicked as he finally realized something, “This is bad, you…you are...”

Boom!

The next moment, he was crushed into a pulp by the Bi’an Stamp with blood flying everywhere.

A sword Saint who shook Tianqu World had died just like that!

Everyone’s pupils shrank. They couldn’t believe their eyes. That’s a supreme Saint, but he failed to survive the attack of a young man?

Unbelievable!

The men and women who came with Zhuo Yang were all ashen-faced and soaked with cold sweat. They looked at Lin Xun as if he was a demon god.

It was not until this moment that they realized how terrifying their opponent was, and there was no way they could deal with him!

“If you don’t want to die, then go and get Mu Xiuyuan out here now.”

Lin Xun swept a cold glance over the men and women, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

With his current strength, even if he only had twenty percent of his peak state, he was not someone that any Saint could provoke.

All of a sudden, a gravelly voice sounded, “Fellow Daoist, I am Gongyang Qi. If my Tianxing Sword Sect has offended you in any way, please let me know.”

As the voice resounded, a slim old man with a sage-like demeanor appeared out of nowhere, his eyes swirling with divine light.

All the cultivators in the city gasped.

Gongyang Qi!

He was the head of Tianxing Sword Sect and an expert at the Supreme Saint Stage!

Gongyang Qi was also the undisputed number one expert in Tianqu World. He had a noble and high status in Tianqu World and was regarded as a supreme ruler. In the past, he was rarely seen in public.

Nan Qiu felt her head throb. The scenes she saw were all scenes that she had never dared to imagine.

And now, it was all happening before her eyes!

Lin Xun raised his eyes, glanced at Gongyang Qi and frowned. “I already told you to get Mu Xiuyuan out here.”

His words were not polite at all.

The cultivators in the city almost lost it. That’s Gongyang Qi. Who in Tianqu World dares to talk to him like that?

Unexpectedly, Gongyang Qi was not angry at all. After a thought, he sighed, “Okay.”

He sent an order.

Before long, a brilliant golden sword light flashed from the distant sea of clouds, sharp and dazzling. A figure was standing atop the beam of sword light and tore through the air.

The man was handsome with red lips and pearly white teeth. He was dressed in a perfectly white robe that matched his superior appearance. It was obvious from one glance that he was no ordinary person.

“Paying respect to Master.”

The man bowed respectfully as soon as he arrived.

Undoubtedly, he was Mu Xiuyuan!

Lin Xun took a look at him. His face was expressionless but there was disappointment in his heart.

As a sword cultivator at the Supreme King Stage, Mu Xiuyuan was far inferior to Yun Qingbai.

Nan Qiu also raised her eyes. This was the first time she had seen Mu Xiuyuan.
