The Prodigies War
chapter-452

Kill!

When Lin Xun attacked, dozens of cultivators started to act, each summoning their treasures and performing their secret arts and techniques. The air whistled as though a thousand rays of light were piercing the sky. They criss-crossed across the sky, obscuring the world. There were so many that it was impossible to dodge at all

“Destroy!” Lin Xun thundered. As the broken blade swung up, a river of stars engulfed the world and its dazzling, silvery brilliance pulverized space as it passed.

The explosion of light blocked all incoming attacks while the generated shockwaves crumbled each of the treasures and secret cultivation arts that were being used.

In the end, following an earth-shattering boom, several cultivators died on the spot and their blood dyed the surrounding space.

The scene was terrifying. More than a dozen cultivators had acted simultaneously, including Heaven Ascension cultivators. Their combined attack power could overturn the rivers and seas and wipe out everything in their way.

However, a single blade had crushed the onslaught of attacks and slaughtered dozens of cultivators on the spot!

Everyone turned ashen-faced from shock. The youth is too abnormally strong. He was on the verge of collapse and couldn’t fully control the broken blade, but he still demonstrated such great powers. This is too unusual.

Rumble!

Lin Xun charged forward and soared, blurring like an illusion with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. The broken blade in his hand shot out in the form of a stream of silvery light, like a fiendish god descending upon the world.

Cultivators who were unable to evade in time were hacked to death, allowing Lin Xun the chance to break out of the encirclement and escape.

“We can’t let him escape!”

Cultivators roared in panic as they ran after Lin Xun. The ruthless youngster is too strong. If we can’t kill him while he is heavily wounded, how can we defeat him in the future if he manages to escape?

They wouldn’t be able to forgive themselves if they missed out on such a good opportunity to kill Lin Xun and lose out on such a powerful blade.

With a loud bang, a giant yellow mountain crashed down in Lin Xun’s direction. It was formed from a treasure stamp and was filled with spiritual intelligence. The rune patterns around it flickered brightly as they formed images of ancient trees, rocks, and waterfalls on the body of the mountain.

It was as though a sacred mountain was going to block all of his avenues of escape and kill him in one strike.

Lin Xun’s eyes glinted coldly, and mist rose from his body like it was from a giant abyss. The broken blade slashed forward with a long whistle and smashed into the mountain with a loud boom. The mountain’s rocks crumbled, the ancient trees became pulverized, and the waterfalls stopped flowing. Everything exploded.

The sharp, silver edge of the blade was unrivaled as it streaked across the air. Even the treasure stamp was split with a crack and almost broke apart.

A youngster screamed in the distance. The treasure stamp was an aeth treasure of his, but it was badly damaged from the collision. Even he was severely wounded from the impact and coughed up blood.

Many cultivators gasped in astonishment. Too powerful. The youth’s strength was already unparalleled earlier, but now he wields the broken blade. Who can stop him now?

Many cultivators were madly rushing toward Lin Xun, but they slowed to a halt upon seeing the collision, deciding to wait for a better opportunity to act.

“Little Junior, I won’t let you get away with this!”

An old man with a solemn air and a sage-like demeanor sped toward Lin Xun. He gently flicked his horsetail whisk, launching waves of blazing flames through the air.

He was a Heaven Ascension cultivator. Although his cultivation base had been suppressed to the Spirit Sea Stage, his divine might remained. He was able to manipulate the power of the Great Dao so his strength was superior to those of the Spirit Sea Stage.

The horsetail whisk in his hand was no doubt a rare treasure. It released clouds of flames like a turbulent sea of fire sweeping over the void.

“Venerable Sage Crane of Celestial Spirit Mountain!”

“A powerful and influential figure is finally taking action to kill the youngster!”

Exclamations rippled throughout the audience.

“Old man, are you worthy of lecturing me?” Lin Xun scowled, his dark eyes piercing with hatred.

He tightened his grip around the broken blade and stepped forward in huge strides.

Waves of silvery, divine brilliance rolled across the sky, instantly crumbling the clouds of flames that had filled the sky.

The old man coldly grunted. He flicked his horsetail whisk, activating another secret technique. He rolled up a storm of flames and looked as powerful as a divine being.

Boom!

After a moment, an earth-shattering collision shook the world. The old man had blocked the powerful strike of the broken blade with the horsetail whisk in his hand, but he was sent flying across the air at lightning speed. He shuddered and his face blanched. He clearly had suffered a considerable amount of damage.

Many people gasped, and their hands and feet went cold.

Venerable Sage Crane was a leading figure of the Heaven Ascension Stage. He was from the ancient sect Celestial Spirit Mountain. Although his cultivation base had been suppressed, average geniuses were still no match for him.

However, the youngster had sent Venerable Sage Crane flying!

“Little Junior, die!”

Suddenly, another Heaven Ascension cultivator charged toward Lin Xun with murderous intent. It was a middle-aged man wielding a bone sword.

“Hmph!” Lin Xun snorted. He vanished from the spot with a flash, ignoring the middle-aged man and continuing to charge toward Venerable Sage Crane.

Boom!

Silvery starlight roamed in all directions like giant stars were descending. Venerable Sage Crane repeatedly drew back, and it looked like he couldn’t bear much longer.

At the same time, the middle-aged man wielding the bone sword launched repeated sneak attacks. His movements and actions were cunning and sinister.

His attacks distracted Lin Xun, preventing him from slaughtering Venerable Sage Crane.

Commotions broke out again from the rest of the cultivators when they witnessed two great Heaven Ascension cultivators struggling to hold their ground against Lin Xun and failing to suppress him.

The ruthless young man is seriously injured, but he is still able to survive until now. This is too mind-blowing!

Boom!

Another earth-shaking collision shook the world. The broken blade slashed through the air, forcibly severing the horsetail whisk in Venerable Sage Crane’s hand, while silvery starlight smashed into Venerable Sage Crane’s right arm.

Just as Lin Xun was about to take advantage of the situation to kill Venerable Sage Crane, the middle-aged man launched another sneak attack with his bone sword.

Die!

Lin Xun’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and his hair rose up in anger. He gave up on attacking Venerable Sage Crane. The broken blade spun around in his hand and clashed with the bone sword.

The world quaked, and rays of light scurried everywhere. The bone sword blasted across the air as if a bolt of lightning had struck it, and the middle-aged man coughed up blood.

“Die!” Lin Xun roared, bringing the broken blade forward, followed by dazzling starry light.

Rumble—

The middle-aged man’s face blanched with terror. As he roared, an ancient cauldron emerged in front of him, blocking the strike with a barrier of pure light.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun would deliver a kick to the middle-aged man’s face at that exact moment?

Following a muffled grunt, the middle-aged man’s cheekbones and nose were broken, and his teeth were stained with blood. He had almost been kicked in the head.

However, he was a Heaven Ascension cultivator. Even if he was in critical danger, he still managed to escape with his divine powers.

It was an utmost humiliation to him. He was a great cultivator of the Heaven Ascension Stage, yet a severely wounded teenager on the verge of death had trampled him. How would he not be enraged?

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye before the two sides were separated.

A group of cultivators trembled in the distance. That attack not only failed to stop Lin Xun, but he also managed to counterattack. This is too unbelievable.

Starlight blazed, and Lin Xun continued to charge forward, trying to slaughter the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man repeatedly dodged and coughed up blood.

“Little Junior, don’t go too far!”

The middle-aged man roared, his face livid. He was a Heaven Ascension cultivator, but he had to suppress his cultivation base in Treasure Drop Blood Plain for fear of suffering attacks from the forbidden power.

However, he never had thought that a teenager at the Spirit Sea Stage would be able to defeat him under such circumstances.

“If you have guts then activate your true strength. Otherwise, wait for your death!”

Although Lin Xun was faced with enemies from all sides, he showed not a tinge of fear.

Rumble!

As he was speaking, the broken blade sped across the air and sent the middle-aged man flying in one blow. He was dripping with blood and looked utterly miserable.

“You think I don’t dare to?”

The middle-aged man went mad with rage. He couldn’t consider anything else at that moment. He restored his strength to the Heaven Ascension Stage like a madman and charged toward Lin Xun like a berserk beast.

The terrifying and extraordinary power of the Heaven Ascension Stage shocked the entire audience.

Everyone was most chilled by the fact that Lin Xun was still evenly matched with the middle-aged man.

Soon, the middle-aged man started to show signs of being suppressed.

“Heavens, the youngster is so abnormal.”

Many cultivators shuddered all over. Lin Xun’s contemptuous and fierce attitude deeply shook their spirits.

“Venerable Sage Crane, why are you hesitating? Let’s kill that beast together!” roared the middle-aged man.

Immediately, Venerable Sage Crane returned. He again mobilized his divine power and dealt with Lin Xun together with the middle-aged man.

Clang!

At that exact moment, an image of eternal night and millions of descending stars was projected from Lin Xun’s broken blade, drowning the middle-aged man and Venerable Sage Crane together.

Star Gather!

It was a little different from his previous uses. It was unknown whether it was because Lin Xun had formed a complete Origin Aeth Artery or whether it was because the broken blade was too ferocious. Regardless of the reason, the move had set off a frightening vision. The sky and earth dimmed like they had been obscured by eternal night.

“AH—”

The middle-aged man screamed in agony. His bone sword shattered, and his body swept toward the blazing edge of the blade, splitting into two from the waist!

On the other side, Venerable Sage Crane gasped and attempted to escape.

The power was too terrifying. The middle-aged man had already unleashed his Heaven Ascension power yet he had still been killed on the spot. How could Venerable Sage Crane dare to continue to fight under such circumstances?

“Where are you going!?” Lin Xun roared. Immediately, he performed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and moved at a much faster speed than his opponent, while the broken blade flashed across the sky like a comet.

Chi—

Venerable Sage Crane began to mobilize his cultivation base of the Heaven Ascension Stage, but before he could launch an attack, his head hurled into the air and dyed the sapphire sky blood-red!

In the blink of an eye, two renowned Heaven Ascension cultivators had been slaughtered!

The situation had fallen into a deadly still and stifling silence. All eyes were wide with shocked disbelief, staring at Lin Xun like he was a ghost.

Previously, Lin Xun had forced the broken blade to submission with his heaven-defying power and attitude despite his severe injuries, surprising everyone.

His poor appearance had made everyone think that it was a good opportunity to kill him and snatch his treasure, but who would have thought that he would be so frighteningly strong? In the blink of an eye, he had slaughtered dozens of cultivators in fury, including Ran Yin, a peerless genius!

Additionally, he even killed two great cultivators of the Heaven Ascension Stage with his unfathomable divine powers!

Who is he?

How can he possess such heaven-defying strength!?

The previously chaotic atmosphere had abruptly transformed stunned silence.
