The Prodigies War
chapter-1782

Lin Xun stretched out his body, and the qi and energy around him soared to their peak state. He raised his fist skywards.

At this moment, he looked like an unrivaled demon god. His figure was dazzling and majestic, and his invincible bearing dazed Ma Taizhen for a moment.

Boom!

Immediately after that, a hole was blasted into the blazing flame world and the berserk law power of fire raged violently and dissipated like a current.

“He…”

Ma Taizhen’s face twisted in shock and disbelief. He swayed under the strain of the attack and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

……

“What is happening?”

Ever since Lin Xun was trapped in the Great Dao Field, the cloud area enveloped in flames had become the focus of everyone’s attention.

However, as time went by without any signs of movement or activity, the spectators started to become restless.

“What else? That audacious idiot will definitely be killed!” Yu Yunhe gnashed his teeth and shouted.

Once a Great Dao Field emerged, how many supreme Big Saints could survive in this world?

“Saint-Kings are far stronger than Big Saints. Since that bastard is trapped inside, he indeed has no chance of surviving.” Gongyang Qi stated in a deep voice on the peak of Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

Everyone around him nodded.

To cultivators of the Tianqu World, supreme Big Saints were already the strongest in the world. Meanwhile, Saint-Kings...

…were like a legend!

No one would believe that anyone in the world could survive at the hands of a Saint-King.

In the city, countless cultivators held their breath nervously.

Especially Nan Leipeng and other tribesmen of the Musang Tribe. Their hearts were in their throats. If Lin Xun died, then they would have to face an unimaginable nightmare!

Boom!

It was at this moment that a deafening noise boomed out like the gods beating the drums of war, or like a corner of the sky had been smashed.

Under the attention of countless gazes, the flame world split with a huge hole and blazing flames erupted like a volcano and swept across every direction.

At the same time, a figure bathed in divine flames rose, casting splendid beams over the world. His mighty aura sent the universe quaking.

Yu Yunhe, who had been waiting anxiously, exclaimed with excitement before he could see clearly. “Amazing! Congratulations Elder Ma on killing the beast!”

The shining figure laughed, “What a stupid idiot.”

The voice echoed throughout the world, and everyone fell silent.

Soon, everyone clearly saw that the majestic figure bathed in divine light turned out to be Lin Xun, who they believed was doomed!

Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets as if they saw a ghost. How…how is that possible?

“You…you...you…why are you not dead?”

Yu Yunhe’s mind went blank like he was struck by lightning. All he could do was scream.

The flame world dissipated and the light receded. Lin Xun hovered above the clouds as he looked into the distance, his robe whipping about his body.

Ma Taizhen emerged, but his face was contorted with anger and shock, as if he could not believe what happened.

Uproar erupted.

Even the Great Dao Field of a Saint-King failed to kill Lin Xun!

This was undeniably unbelievable.

At the summit of Snowdrift Sacred Mountain, Gongyang Qi felt everything darkening in front of him and a suffocating tightness in his chest. He felt an urge to vomit blood. The unexpected outcome dealt a huge blow to him.

“Old man, are you going to bow your head voluntarily, or should I suppress you myself?” Lin Xun spoke, his voice rumbling above the clouds.

“Arrogant!”

Ma Taizhen thundered. He swung a silver spear and charged across the air.

He was a Saint-King after all. He controlled power and laws far greater than those of a Big Saint. How would he willingly admit defeat?

Boom!

Shadows of spear overlapped one another, covering the sky.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun marched forward, his black eyes ice-cold. He suddenly vanished from the spot and the next moment he delivered a punch straight at the tip of the silver spear.

It was a head-on collision, but the power of Lin Xun’s fist actually bent the spear.

Bang!

The silver spear flew out of Ma Taizhen’s grip while the impact sent him reeling dozens of feet in the air.

He overpowered a Saint-King in one blow!

“Even six years ago, I could kill you with ease.”

Lin Xun uttered something that no one understood.

However, if Hua Xingli, Zhuanyu Heng or other peerless figures who had entered the Kunlun Dominion were present, they likely would understand the meaning of those words.

Six years ago, it was indeed not a difficult task for Lin Xun to kill a Saint-King who had not stepped into the supreme path.

Let alone the fact that he was a completely different person than he was six years ago!

“Die!” Ma Taizhen looked crazy with his disheveled hair.

As an influential figure of the Alchemy Dao Sect, a renowned Saint-King in the Great Yu World, he was suppressed by a junior in front of everyone. The shame and feeling of humiliation was too much for him to bear.

Lin Xun thrust out his palm.

Boom!

The palm that seemed to blot out the entire sky emitted a waterfall of great dao power. As soon as it appeared, the whole world whimpered and wailed as if surrendering.

Ma Taizhen was firmly suppressed under the palm, as if he was being crushed by an ancient mountain. Blood oozed from his seven orifices and the bones in his body were about to snap.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His body continued to sink into the ground as the nearby void collapsed and exploded. No matter how hard he struggled or screamed, it was to no avail.

In the end, the ground cracked, and a huge hand-shaped pit was left by the terrifying palm force. Ma Taizhen was pressed into it, face marred with dust and blood. He could not force himself up no matter how he tried.

The air was swirling with smoke and dust, and the entire area was dead silent.

All the cultivators who witnessed the scene felt as tiny and powerless as ants facing a god.

Even a Saint-King was unable to withstand the force of Lin Xun’s palm.

A stunned silence enveloped the world.

Only Lin Xun stood above clouds, like a celestial being descended from the nine heavens. His majesty and superiority was unrivaled!

“Why...why...” After a long moment, Yu Yunhe finally recovered somewhat from the shock and murmured.

His face was terribly pale.

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid, idiot. I want to borrow your ship to leave here. I won’t kill you. But before that, you better behave.”

He stretched out his hand and imprisoned Yu Yunhe from a distance.

Thud!

At the same time, Mu Xiuyuan’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out and fell from the air.

This was the second time he fainted. The first time was when Lin Xun forced him to his knees and he lost consciousness from rage.

Lin Xun darted a glance at Mu Xiuyuan. He had no desire to kill him. The latter’s dao heart had already been shattered, which meant that even if he regained consciousness, he had no hope of pursuing the dao ever again. His future was destined to be bleak and grim.

Lin Xun’s gaze shifted to the Snowdrift Sacred Mountain in the distance.

At this moment, Gongyang Qi, who was scared out of his wits, dropped to his knees with a thud to beg for mercy. “We are all ignorant, but we had no intention of offending you. I hope you will spare us!” he cried in a trembling voice.

Behind him, many important figures of the Tianxing Sword Sect also fell to their knees. It was a rather spectacular sight.

In the Tianqu World, wherever they went, they were treated like kings and respected by everyone.

But now, they were pleading for mercy on their knees!

“Fellow Daoist, I warned you, but you refused to listen. Why?” Lin Xun sighed.

Gongyang Qi was filled with bitter feelings. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face. “I was stupid, I was confused...”

A leader of a sect bowed down and slapped himself in the face. Even Lin Xun was surprised to see that.

“I can exempt you from death, but not from punishment. Considering the fact that you acknowledged your ignorance, I will let you all live.”

Shua!

Lin Xun raised his hand and extended a finger. A ray of sword qi shot up, streaked across the sky and slashed downwards.

Under astonished gazes, Snowdrift Sacred Mountain, which was known as the most sacred place in the Tianqu World, was sliced into two!

The destruction of the mountain was akin to the destruction of the foundation of the Tianxing Sword Sect. It was a huge price to pay, and it would chill every cultivator in the world.

Everyone knew that even if all the members of the Tianxing Sword Sect lived, without Snowdrift Sacred Mountain, Tianxing Sword Sect would be removed from the top spot of the Tianqu World.

Gongyang Qi and the others were all ashen-faced, but no one dared to say anything.

……

“Nan Qiu, do you want to leave this world with me?”

Lin Xun asked, looking at the city below.

With these words, Nan Leipeng and other tribesmen of the Musang Tribe suddenly became the focus of the entire city, and Nan Qiu was the center of attention.

Many people couldn’t help but feel jealous and envious.

Lin Xun had single-handedly crushed Tianxing Sword Sect and defeated all the influential figures from the Alchemy Dao Sect. Whoever was lucky enough to leave with him would definitely rise in the world in the future.

Nan Qiu hesitated.

“Silly girl, quickly agree!” Nan Leipeng urged anxiously.

Nan Qiu whispered, “Ninth Uncle, but I’m worried that once I leave, someone will harm our Musang Tribe...”

Lin Xun immediately understood the girl’s worry. Once he was gone, the other forces in Tianqu World would have no scruples about attacking the Musang Tribe.

Lin Xun looked at Gongyang Qi and questioned, “Fellow Daoist, do you think there will be any unexpected troubles for the Musang Tribe in the years to come?"

His question took Gongyang Qi aback, then he frantically shook his head. “Rest assured, as long as I am here, I won’t let the Musang Tribe be bullied!”

Lin Xun flicked his fingers, and a secret inheritance art rushed into Gongyang Qi’s mind. “This is a technique to improve your foundation. It can correct the shortcomings in your cultivation, meaning it won’t be impossible for you to step into the Saint-King Stage in the future.”

Gongyang Qi was startled at first, but then indescribable joy surged in his heart. He bowed his head and reassured, “Don’t worry, Senior. The Musang Tribe’s business is my business!”

The two communicated via voice transmission, so outsiders had no idea that the leader of the Tianxing Sword Sect had been ‘bribed’ by Lin Xun.

When Nan Qiu learned of Lin Xun’s arrangement, she felt much more at ease and agreed to leave with him.

Lin Xun was relieved.

To him, the Tianqu World was just a small world with nothing worth making him stay. His future path would not be confined to this world.

He did not want to linger around in this world anymore, so he decided to leave via the boundary ship on the same day!
