The Prodigies War
chapter-644

“Young Master, you…why are you taking me away?”

After regaining her cool, Ye Lingtong abruptly realized that something was wrong. Lin Xun’s earlier response was far too strange. It was abnormal that he had left when he was told to.

“Something dangerous is going to happen there.”

Lin Xun did not conceal anything and explained, “If my senses are correct, then the danger comes from the Han Clan. They’ve not only dispatched Han Yunchong, but also sent ten Violet Hero Battleships.”

Towards the end, a slightly odd look flashed in his eyes.

This was because the ten Violet Hero Battleships were the new design he and Old Mo had come up with.

“Danger?”

Ye Lingtong was alarmed. Her expression changed drastically as she said, “Young Master, why didn’t you tell my Elder Cousin-Brother and the others…”

At this point, realization suddenly dawned upon her and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

“Do you hate me for showing no compassion?” Lin Xun smiled faintly.

Ye Lingtong hurriedly shook her head. Her expression fluctuated in uncertainty for some time before she ultimately sighed and said, “Elder Cousin-Brother had gone too far, this…might be what they call karma.”

Soon after, she mustered her courage and said, “Young Master, I…I wish to go back and have a look. No matter what, they are members of the Ye Clan and I cannot idly sit by and watch Elder Cousin-Brother and the others succumb to disaster.”

Lin Xun was slightly taken aback. Soon after, he nodded and said, “Fine, but I will not interfere in this matter anymore.”

He admired Ye Lingtong. She was a reasonable person with strong morals. If not for this, he would not have brought her along when he left.

“Thank you, Young Master!” Ye Lingtong had originally made the request with little expectations, but grew increasingly grateful when she saw Lin Xun agree so easily.

“Let’s go.”

With a swish, the Grand Universe Ark flashed and disappeared.

……

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten Violet Hero Battleships floated in the sky like black clouds. They seemed to blot out the entire sky as their rune arrays rumbled and dazzled with gorgeous light.

Long trails of smoke rose from the many rune battle cannons amidst deafening blasts as terrifying cannon fire bombarded the area.

Giant waves rose from the boiling sea as terrifying energy undulations wreaked havoc in the air above, distorting space itself. It was as if several storms were chaotically dancing in the area.

Ye Dongke and his attendants were immediately engulfed by the dense barrage.

The Violet Hero Battleship was a powerful weapon that would give even Heaven Ascension experts a headache. Compared to the barrage from the battleships, Ye Dongke and the others appeared far too tiny and insignificant.

Hence, they immediately fell into a dangerous predicament when the battle erupted.

“Abominable! It’s all that punk’s fault. He sabotaged me!”

An angry roar rang out. Ye Dongke was like a trapped beast, his eyes blood-red, and his expression twisted in resentment.

He knew that it was impossible to escape death today.

He felt extremely sullen and believed that Lin Xun had intentionally sabotaged him as revenge, which also made him nearly go crazy with hatred.

“Do you hear that? Even at death’s door, your Elder Cousin-Brother believes I sabotaged him. Even if the Han Clan doesn’t kill him today, I will not spare someone like him either.”

Some distance from the battlefield, the Grand Universe Ark hovered in the sky. Lin Xun stood atop it with his hands behind his back as his cold eyes observed the battle.

Beside him, Ye Lingtong was alarmed and furious. She was alarmed that the Han Clan had indeed dispatched ten Violet Hero Battleships. This also made her heart shiver.

She was furious that even at this point, Ye Dongke could not see that he was wrong and still believed that Lin Xun was to blame for everything. Ye Dongke basically deserved to die!

But as a fellow member of the Ye Clan, Ye Lingtong couldn’t bear to watch Ye Dongke and the others be blasted to death by the Han Clan’s battleships.

“I…would rather he be killed by Young Master!” Ye Lingtong tightly clenched her jaw in anger. She truly did not know what to do.

“Does it matter who kills him?”

Lin Xun cast a sideways glance at her, knowing she was still holding the faint hope that he would save Ye Dongke.

Ye Lingtong’s pretty face instantly turned deathly pale. She wobbled unsteadily, knowing that Lin Xun was not going to interfere…

Ye Dongke’s resentful roars resounded across the battlefield. He cursed Lin Xun, believing he was despicable and had intentionally not warned them of the danger.

Ye Lingtong was utterly disappointed by this and sighed internally, “You brought this upon yourself…”

Moments later, Ye Dongke’s and the others’ voices completely disappeared. The concentrated cannon barrage had killed them.

“Oh no, they’ve discovered us and are coming over!”

Suddenly, Ye Lingtong jerked to attention when she realized that the ten Violet Hero Battleships were approaching them at full speed.

“It’s the little lass from the Ye Clan!”

“Strange, where’s Elder Han Yunchong? Given the old man’s power, how could he have let these doggies from the Ye Clan survive until now?”

“We can discuss such things after we kill them!”

Murderous voices spread from the Violet Hero Battleships, belonging to the Han Clan cultivators.

“Young Master, we should leave quickly.”

Ye Lingtong’s face was pale. She had experienced a dangerous chase today. which she barely managed to survive. Following that, she had personally witnessed a tragedy befall her Elder Cousin-Brother.

Now, the Han Clan was rapidly approaching them with ten Violet Hero Battleships. This series of events caused Ye Lingtong to be on the verge of collapsing.

Since when had she ever experienced such dangerous and terrifying events that made her feel so angry and helpless?

“Leave? Why do we have to leave?”

Lin Xun’s expression was unchanged as he stared into the distance. “Although Ye Dongke deserved death, he’s still a member of your clan. Since they killed him, I will naturally ensure that your Ye Clan is given an adequate explanation.”

Ye Lingtong was taken aback.

Soon after, she saw Lin Xun take out a sinister-looking bow. It seemed to be made from skulls and its bowstring was blood-red as if it had been soaked in blood. The terrifying bow gave off a blood-thirsty and intimidating aura.

The No-Nonsense Bow!

Lin Xun pulled back the bowstring, causing a strange buzzing noise to spread from the bow as if was rejoicing that it would soon feast on blood.

The space around Lin Xun began to fracture as if it was unable to contain such power while Ye Lingtong subconsciously held her breath.

Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed slightly as if she was silently waiting for something.

“What is he trying to do? Using a lousy bow against us? Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve seen something so hilarious.”

“That’s what we call a praying mantis trying to stop a cart. What a hilarious and ignorant fool!”

“Damn, he must be trying to amuse us to death. This kid’s brain must be broken. How can his lousy bow possibly face our Violet Hero Battleships?”

The Han Clan cultivators on the battleships roared with laughter, their expressions filled with mockery.

Beng!

It was at this moment that Lin Xun fired an arrow.

The blood-red bowstring trembled, but the arrow released was invisible and impossible to find.

However, it made Ye Lingtong’s scalp turn numb as a chill rose from the bottoms of her feet. The attack was far too bizarre, terrifying, and possessed an indescribable fatal power.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, one of the battleships exploded. Intense flames spouted like an erupting volcano, burning even the air itself. It was a magnificent yet tragic scene.

A single arrow had destroyed a Violet Hero Battleship!

The Han Clan cultivators on the remaining nine battleships were stupefied, not daring to believe their eyes.

A Violet Hero Battleship that would give even Heaven Ascension experts a headache and was known to be one of the trump cards among the empire’s small-scale battleships had been destroyed just like that?

It was as unrealistic as a dream!

After the new series Violet Hero Battleship was announced, the imperial army was quickly outfitted with it, and it had become sought after by countless cultivators.

It possessed astonishing defense and terrifying combat capabilities. On the battlefield, its destructive power would make even the enemies despair.

However, that very same Violet Hero Battleship had been destroyed by an invisible arrow.

“This…”

“What kind of bow is that? Could it be some kind of supreme treasure?”

“Who is that kid? Why didn’t the information mention anything about such a person from the Ye Clan?”

“Attack! Quickly attack with our full power!”

Alarmed and angry voices rang out one after another.

The nine remaining Violet Hero Battleships aggressively released deafening rumbling noises as concentrated cannon fire enveloped the area.

If this were to happen on land, it would instantly destroy an entire city!

Boom!

However, another explosion was heard a split second later as another battleship was destroyed. The frightening explosion boiled the sea water and incinerated the air.

Lin Xun stood on the Grand Universe Ark with a confident expression as he continuously pulled back and released the blood-red bowstring. The No-Nonsense Bow buzzed in excitement.

Beng! Beng! Beng!

Invisible and undetectable arrows were shot out one after another. They flew as quickly as lightning and gave off an aura that would make anyone’s heart shiver.

Ye Lingtong’s mind had become completely blank as she dazedly stood there in shock.

She watched as battleship after battleship was destroyed like paper, turning into giant fireballs that burned menacingly.

Everything was happening far too quickly. The Han Clan experts did not even have time to react. All they could do was scream in misery as they were engulfed by the raging infernos.

The place had become a hellscape of horrifying destruction.

It felt so unreal. That was the Violet Hero Battleship and a powerful weapon of the empire! Why did they seem so weak and frail?

Ye Lingtong could not understand what was happening.

The final Violet Hero Battleship was destroyed amidst a mushroom cloud explosion. Flames devastated the surroundings, illuminating the blue sea below.

In the span of a few breaths, ten Violet Hero Battleships and all the Han Clan cultivators onboard had been completely wiped out!

Lin Xun made no further actions. He stood there like a pine tree, his moon-white clothes and black hair fluttering around him.

A raging sea of fire burned in the distance, making it seem as if they were looking at hell.

The wreckage of the battleships and the corpses of the Han Clan cultivators were burned away in the sea of fire.

Ye Lingtong dazedly took in everything. She looked at the proud figure that stood there with his hands behind his back as her heart stirred in a strange manner.

“He’s definitely a legendary heaven pride of the younger generation! How else could a single person and a bow shoot down ten Violet Hero Battleships in the blink of an eye?”
