The Prodigies War
chapter-849

There was a long moment of utter silence as many cultivators were shocked to the core. Since the genius talents are humiliating Demon God Lin like that, could it mean they plan to get rid of him before the Dao Lantern Festival starts?

The jade-colored robed youngster might have spoken causally, but his words were wildly aggressive and arrogant.

Sha Lu’s death had nothing to do with him, yet he responded and acted very proactively. It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to step on Demon God Lin to boost his own reputation!

“Young Master Lin, that guy is called Tang Chuan. He comes from the ancient Xuanbo Sword Sect. He can be called a genius swordsman and the True Sword of Madness that he practices is a unique ancient inheritance art with frightening powers.”

“But he is known for his bad character. When he was only in his teens, he hooked up with his sister-in-law. Although the Tang Family has attempted to keep the matter under cover, I happened to know about it.” Bai Fengliu’s voice rang in Lin Xun’s ears.

This old man might be shameless and thick-skinned, but he is still a top investigator of the Windspeaker Clan and he holds a lot of information unknown to the world.

Lin Xun swept a cold glance over the jade-robed youth Tang Chuan. How dare such a despicable guy jump out so eagerly? Does he think that I am a pushover that he can easily crush?

“Worthless trash.” Lin Xun spat out two words.

But that only made Tang Chuan chuckle and frightening murderous intent surged within his eyes.

“Since Fellow Cultivator Tang Chuan is so interested, then I don’t want to ruin your mood. I will leave this boy to you,” said Sha Liuchan.

In truth, he was very glad to do so because he could test Demon God Lin’s strength with the help of Tang Chuan.

“Junior Sister Lingxi, it turns out that your friend is Demon God Lin. No wonder you praised him so highly. But it...it seems like Demon God Lin is in a terrible situation now.” A successor of the Longevity Land chuckled by the window on the ninth floor of the Four Seasons Pavilion.

“It’s more than terrible. He’s like a street rat being chased across the street by everyone! From this, it can be seen that Demon God Lin is not as powerful as rumored. He is very likely just deceiving the world.”

“Junior Sister Lingxi, you have to be careful, don’t be fooled by that kid. As they say, one may know a person from the outside, but may not understand their true nature. Junior Sister Lingxi, your reputation will be affected if other people know that you are friends with someone like him.”

“Junior Sister Lingxi, you must not go out and help him. After all, you are a successor of the Longevity Land. If you side with him, then how will the world view our Longevity Land?”

The young men and women from the Longevity Land spoke out one after another, but their voices were tinged with mocking and sarcasm.

Bai Lingxi’s face grew overcast, but she quickly regained her composure. Then, without a ripple of expression on her beautiful face, she said indifferently, “You guys are all wrong. He doesn’t need my help at all. Later, I hope you guys won’t make a big fuss again.”

Everyone sneered, thinking that Bai Lingxi was pretending to be tough and unwilling to admit the embarrassment.

“Demon God Lin, come, come, come, let’s have a showdown so that the whole world can see whether you are deceiving the world or do you actually possess real skills!” Tang Chuan laughed as he strode forward from the gate of the Four Seasons Pavilion.

His wide sleeves swayed, his cold eyes shot out sharp rays of sword-like light and his body exuded arrogance and aggressiveness.

Boom!

His aura grew increasingly frightening. His clothes billowed around him, and his hair fluttered in the air like swords flying out of their sheaths as he said leisurely, “But I have to make it clear that the consequences will be terrible if you lose. You might not even have the chance to kneel and beg for mercy!”

Many people’s faces were crossed with surprise as they noticed that Tang Chuan’s aura was very unusual and rare among experts of the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

The onlookers opened their eyes wide, held their breaths in anticipation and their hearts pounded violently, almost jumping out of their chests. They knew that an earthshaking showdown was about to break out!

In the face of many criticisms and contempt, could Demon God Lin demonstrate his rumored incredible strength?

Since Tang Chuan, a genius of the Xuanbo Sword Sect, dared to attack so aggressively, did it mean he possessed the ability to defeat and kill Demon God Lin?

The atmosphere suddenly turned tense.

In the Four Seasons Pavilion, the peerless figures who hadn’t shown their faces also stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on the upcoming battle.

Seen from a height, one would find that in all the areas surrounding Star Cliff City were cultivators rushing to the Four Seasons Pavilion.

Clearly, the news of Demon God Lin’s appearance and his clash with the talents were spreading at an astonishing speed like wildfire.

Yue Jianming’s expression was one of deep worry, concern, and shame. He still believed that he was the cause of Lin Xun showing up and throwing himself into a dangerous situation.

Bai Fengliu nervously watched the situation unfold while holding a stack of news leaves in his hand, ready to inscribe every little detail that was about to happen.

Sha Liuchan and the others watched from the sidelines with different expressions.

Bai Lingxi stood by the window on the ninth floor, her eyes clear and tranquil as still water, and her face ethereal.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was as calm as ever. In the face of Tang Chuan’s aggressive provocation, he only uttered one sentence, “Are those your last words?”

Last words!

All the cultivators smacked their lips. As expected of Demon God Lin, who has made a name for himself from his courage and power. Even in the face of the predicament, he remains unexpectedly unyielding.

However, Tang Chuan’s face darkened, and he burst out laughing wildly, “Based on those words, I am going to make you fall under my sword!”

Clang!

Amidst a sonorous sword cry, a brilliantly golden sword soared into the air and landed in Tang Chuan’s grip. Instantly, he was enveloped with a terrifying and fierce aura, which rapidly spread outwards and caused even the air to whimper.

Many cultivators felt a stinging pain in their eyes.

From just his aura and imposing bearing alone, Tang Chuan had demonstrated his deep mastery of swordsmanship.

A cultivator of the older generation exclaimed with astonishment, “That’s the power of the Xuanbo Sword Sect’s True Sword of Madness. It is an ancient sword inheritance. Looking at the power, it seems like Tang Chuan has grasped the essence of this sword art! How amazing!”

“Kill!”

Tang Chuan strode forward like an ancient sword cultivator, his qi rioting around him and sword intent raging. Then, the golden sword transformed into a hundred-foot-long rainbow, cutting across the void.

Its sharpness was unrivaled!

Tang Chuan might seem aggressive and reckless, but in truth, he had a very scheming mind. He knew that if he didn’t show his true strength, even if he defeated Demon God Lin, the crowd of genius talents would still look down on him.

Therefore, he turned to the True Sword of Madness as his first move! He wanted to demonstrate the profound meaning of this secret art to gain the upper hand and show his strength and then kill Lin Xun on the spot with overwhelming power!

Many people frantically drew back because Tang Chuan’s sword intent was too strong and mad, sweeping the entire area. The consequences would be disastrous if they got too close.

However, something that astonished everyone happened. Lin Xun wore the calmest of expressions as he took a step forward. Meanwhile, a blinding light bloomed from him like he was a dazzling snow-white sun.

Where Lin Xun stood, a Hornless Ice Dragon of thousands of feet tall soared into the sky and threw its head skywards to unleash a thunderous roar.

That…

Many cultivators were petrified. They almost thought that it was a real ancient beast descending upon the world. Its divine power was so terrifying that it completely engulfed the area like a vast ocean.

Boom!

With an ear-splitting loud noise, the brilliant golden rainbow of sword intent shattered into a shower of light, while Tang Chuan flew across the air, coughing up mouthfuls of bright-red blood. He had been slammed by the dragon’s steel-hard tail.

Heavens!

All the cultivators stared dumbfounded. What the hell happened?

Tang Chuan, who brought out such terrifying sword intent, was defeated just as he stepped onto the battlefield.

Unbelievable! Demon God Lin only stepped forward, but he has already blasted away a genius swordsman from the Xuanbo Sword Sect.

How terrifying is that?!

Meanwhile, talented figures such as Sha Liuchan narrowed their eyes in bewilderment. The outcome was completely unexpected. The battle had only just begun, but Tang Chuan had already performed so badly.

Tang Chuan himself was also in a dazed state like he was dreaming. How could he accept the fact that he was defeated in one strike?

“Are the so-called genius talents such trash? Don’t you think it’s embarrassing that you think you can suppress me with your strength?” Lin Xun asked disdainfully, attacking the other party without restraint.

“Do you want to die?!” Tang Chuan fumed, flushing with shame and embarrassment. He had threatened to make Lin Xun kneel and beg for mercy in front of everyone, but in the blink of an eye, he was utterly defeated.

Moreover, his defeat was watched by countless pairs of eyes. His face turned livid, and he launched another attack in a towering rage.

Clang!

The golden sword rose into the air, projecting infinite wonderful visions. There were roaring gods and demons and disasters such as landslides and tsunamis amidst the terrifying ringing of swords.

“This is more like it.” Sha Liuchan’s frown eased.

The other cultivators were terrified because they realized that Tang Chuan was truly enraged to launch that attack without reservation. He fully demonstrated the power of a genius talent figure.

“The West Infinity World is not bad since such a genius swordsman exists here,” remarked a Longevity Land successor in the Four Seasons Pavilion.

The other genius talents also evaluated his strength secretly in their mind. Most of them believed that Tang Chuan’s performance was worthy of his title as a genius of the Xuanbo Sword Sect.

However, the next moment, everyone’s faces stiffened.

Boom!

In the face of the terrifying strong blow, Lin Xun simply waved his sleeve. A simple giant seal rose into the air while the shadow of the Bi’an beast released a divine brilliance that could suppress the eight poles of the universe.

Instantly, Tang Chuan was smashed to the ground amidst shattering sword light.

He lay in the giant pit like a squashed toad, body twitching endlessly. Blood was trickling down from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and it was unknown how many bones had been broken in his body.

Si!

Gasps rang out in rapid succession.

Many genius talents quivered with astonishment. They concluded that in terms of combat power, Tang Chuan and Demon God Lin were not on the same level at all!
