The Prodigies War
chapter-824

Lin Xun’s blade was too razor-sharp, and its light was too dazzling like lightning. With a flash of brightness, it took the life of a half-step king!

Even at death, the old man couldn’t believe that a teenager of the Heaven Ascension Stage could launch such a blow.

Unfortunately for him, he had no time to think about it before his spirit was obliterated and he was killed on the spot.

The old man’s death struck the other four half-step kings with horror. They almost screamed out loud, finding it hard to believe that the scene happened.

What kind of attack was that?

It seemed indestructible, inextinguishable, and invincible!

Rumble!

The Broken Blade’s momentum was undiminished after the earthshaking blow. It split a crack into the void and then spread to a distant mountain and completely erased the peak

Then the Broken Blade flashed and returned to Lin Xun, who was glowing as bright as a sun. He shone with such intensity that nobody dared to stare at him directly.

He was like a godly being, as the snow-white Broken Blade circled him and illuminated the mountains and rivers.

Shua!

He didn’t hesitate to activate the Sacred Combat Art and the Yazi’s Rage to their full majesty. He could feel strength flooding his body as he manipulated the Broken Blade and charged forward.

“Quick! Let’s attack together!” Gripping the blood-colored spear, the mighty middle-aged man roared and rushed forward.

On the other side, the lightning-shrouded woman swung up the golden hammer in a flash.

With a swoosh, the thin man shot out beams of blood-colored light from his eyes like a demon and silently aimed a long awl at Lin Xun.

The scholarly man on the periphery also launched into action.

Buzz!

With a click of his slender fingers, the golden lamp spiraled into the air from his palm and unleashed torrents of golden flames in the direction of Lin Xun like a turbulent furnace.

The sea of golden flames flickered magnificently, but it contained an astonishing incineration power that could scorch holes into the void.

Blood spear!

Lighting Hammer.

Razor-sharp awl.

Golden Lamp.

The colorful array of treasures and the magnificent combination of cultivation arts plunged the world into turmoil. The sky dimmed, and rocks and sand flew everywhere amidst deafening rumbles and explosions. It was an incomparably fierce battle.

The four half-step kings vividly demonstrated their mighty powers. Ordinary cultivators would have been eliminated on the spot.

However, Lin Xun had become another person. He had an air of superiority and power and his glowing body radiated Dao Meaning.

The Broken Blade flitted across the sky with astonishing speed like a flash of lightning!

The glowing obscure Dao runes on its surface poured out waves of terrifying energy that could subdue even gods and demons!

That was the power of an absolute apex king, also known as the supreme path. Lin Xun had activated the Sacred Combat Art and the Yazi’s Rage to its unprecedented peak state.

It was the first time that he mobilized all his power without any reservation. The surge of strength and the powerful waves rippling through his veins, setting his blood on fire, gave him the confidence to cross the nine heavens and be fearless of everything thrown his way.

Bang!

A moment later, the sharp awl shattered, and the thin man screamed and frantically tried to dodge, but his figure seemed to have been frozen.

It was the power of the Baxia Imprisonment. In the past, it had no effect on half-step kings, but after integrating with the Dao Meaning of Water, the Baxia Imprisonment also transformed in power.

It caught the opponent off guard.

Even if the opponent was only stagnant for a moment, that was enough to bring fatal damage to him in this fierce battle!

Pu!

Lin Xun didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity. With a flash, the Broken Blade severed the opponent in half and sent blood gushing like a waterfall. The opponent died an instant death.

Generally speaking, half-step kings were difficult to kill. Their primordial spirits had their own intelligence and were strengthened by the great dao power they possessed. As long as their primordial spirits remained, they had the chance of being revived from death.

However, the power of the Broken Blade was too frightening as a spirit weapon. The power of the obscure dao runes emblazoned on its surface was capable of obliterating the primordial spirit in an instant!

In other words, anyone who was killed by the Broken Blade could never be resurrected.

Another half-step king was slaughtered!

The remaining three half-step kings were aghast at the bloody scene.

They would never have imagined that such a bizarre and unbelievable scene would happen!

They couldn’t settle their trembling hearts, and their faces became ashen and gloomy. When they struck again, their attacks were much more violent and terrifying.

However, it was futile.

Lin Xun seemed to be engrossed in a kind of training, honing the new powers of Broken Blade. As he gradually integrated the nameless inheritance of the dao rune array with the Dao Meaning of Water, the Broken Blade’s power also rose with it!

The Broken Blade grew brighter and brighter like an illusion, and the dazzling glint of the razor-sharp tip was too blinding to look at.

On its surface, the obscure dao runes rippled and spread outwards. Even Lin Xun himself was astonished by its power.

Is this the true power of the Broken Blade?

Lin Xun realized that the changes had to be connected to him grasping Dao Meaning powers. And perhaps it was because of the Dao Meaning power that it awakened the true power within Broken Blade!

Boom!

Before long, the golden hammer of lightning also shattered into a rain of light.

The slim but fierce woman lurched backwards, her pretty face deathly pale. She couldn’t help but shriek in fright.

She finally felt panic and terror, and all her hair stood on end.

The Broken Blade was too shockingly powerful like a divine weapon of a celestial being. She thought she was going to die at that moment!

Kacha!

However, before she recovered from the shock, she saw the built man get severed in half along with the blood-coloured spear in his hand!

Even at death, the man still maintained a charging forward stance with his eyes wide open and bloodshot. But in the end, he was reduced to a shower of blood and splattered to the ground along with the severed spear.

Dead!

An indescribable chill flooded the woman’s entire body, making her feel as though she had fallen into an ice cave and her soul had left her body.

Swoosh!

Without a shred of hesitation, she turned around and bolted like mad.

The scene she witnessed was too unbelievable and unreal. Even she, a half-step king, felt uneasy and petrified.

She couldn’t imagine what kind of heaven-defying foundation the teenager had.

She also couldn’t imagine what level of treasure the broken blade was for it to possess such invincible powers.

She only knew that…

If she didn’t run now, there wouldn’t be another chance!

“Gou Ying! How could you leave me here?” Behind her rang the furious and disappointed roar of the man holding the golden lamp.

Gou Ying gritted her teeth and said nothing. She would die if she stayed. Why would she not run?

Boom!

While Gou Ying was miles away, she heard a terrifying explosion in a distant place.

She turned around and released her spirit sense. Instantly, she captured golden flames lashing down on the battlefield like rain. It was a spectacular sight that covered the sky and the earth.

However, the scholarly man was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield.

He died….

Gou Ying was stricken to the heart. She couldn’t imagine how five half-step kings would be defeated at the hands of a Heaven Ascension Stage teenager.

At the same time, she couldn’t help feeling glad and lucky that she escaped in time. If she hadn’t run quickly enough, then she would have been completely wiped out.

Huh?

She shuddered. From her spirit sense, she saw the handsome teenager peering at her from afar.

He had a tall and graceful figure, accentuated by his fluttering robe and glimmering black hair. The flickering golden flames around him provided a beautiful backdrop, making him look even more terrifying and mysterious just like a demon god that ruled the world in ancient times!

Even though they were separated by miles, Gou Ying seemed to feel his cold and unfathomable eyes fixed on her from afar.

Run!

As though scared out of her wits, she turned around without any hesitation and frantically fled.

A mighty half-step king from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was frightened to such a state. This would definitely cause a commotion if word got out.

“You run so fast.”

In the sea of golden flames, Lin Xun retracted his gaze and didn’t chase after her. With a flash of his figure, he began to clean up the battlefield.

Within seconds, he drifted away with four storage treasures and a simple golden lamp in his hands, vanishing into the darkness of the night.

Calmness had been restored to the battlefield, but it was covered with clouds of smoke and dust. The earth had been split with multiple cracks, the mountains and valleys had collapsed, vegetation had been destroyed, and living creatures had been burned to ashes…

Everything pointed to how earthshaking the duel just now was!

“We should be hearing back from them soon.”

In a canyon, Gou Xuxing furrowed his brows, feeling a little uneasy and restless.

“Xuxing, if we delay it any longer, it will just be a waste of time. We don’t have much energy to wait here like this,” Gou Yangba remarked discontentedly.

“Hmph, we could have already killed that kid if we were there, and we wouldn’t be waiting around like this.” Gou Yangtong snorted coldly.

Gou Xuxing fumed to himself, I knew these two old guys had no good intentions. They just want to see me defeated so that I can’t lift my head in the clan again.

“Wait a little longer.” Gou Xuxing didn’t bother to be polite anymore. He was not worried about what those two old monsters could do to him.

Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong frowned, but in the end, they just smiled and said nothing. They also didn’t want to push Gou Xuxing too far.

“Young Master, it’s bad!” Suddenly a pained voice came from a distance.

Soon, Gou Ying appeared, but her pretty face was deathly pale and her eyes were filled with guilt, shame and bitterness. She seemed to be avoiding Gou Xuxing’s gaze.

Immediately, Gou Xuxing’s expression dramatically changed. Suppressing the panic in his heart, he asked, “What happened? Why are you the only one returning? Where are the others?”

“They all died...” Gou Ying bowed her head and uttered with difficulty.

But her words struck Gou Xuxing, making him paralyzed as if a bolt of lightning had struck him from the sky.

They all died?
