The Prodigies War
chapter-914

Pu!

Even though Lin Xun had frantically activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to dodge, he was still caught off guard and struck in the shoulder. Blood sputtered everywhere.

Only then did he see that his opponent was Shang Jia. Clutching a golden spear in one hand and exuding intense fighting spirit from all over his body, he resembled a god of war.

Rumor had it that Shang Jia was born with extraordinary talent. He possessed a mysterious golden dao rune pattern on the palm of his hand, and the golden spear in his grip was precisely formed from this dao rune. It could pierce through any object with its unrivaled sharpness.

Shang Jia had already demonstrated his exceptional strength when he fought against Yu Lingkong, and now, he pointed his weapon at Lin Xun.

“Looking for trouble?” A murderous intent flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes.

That guy had suddenly attacked him and scratched his shoulder, so how would he not lose his temper?

“If everything goes as planned, once the Dao Lantern Festival is over, our clan will propose marriage to the Blue Luan Clan and arrange for Qing Lian’er to become my wife. If I kill you now, then you can be part of the betrothal gift to express my sincerity,” Shang Jia answered bluntly and coldly.

“So you did it for Qing Lian’er,” Lin Xun muttered to himself.

The two rushed upwards and exchanged blows at great speed.

Boom!

A fierce battle instantly broke out, but a minute later, Shang Jia was dripping with blood and almost had one of his arms severed off. The Broken Blade had slashed his shoulder.

However, within seconds, Shang Jia’s injury healed, and his shoulder recovered to its original state, demonstrating his terrifying regeneration ability.

Deep in Lin Xun’s eyes, cold intent gleamed. He realized that he had seriously underestimated his opponent. His foundation and strength were stronger than those of Mu Jianting, Zhongli Wuji, and Sha Liuchan.

“If that’s all you have then I can kill you!”

Shang Jia didn’t launch another attack but chose to retreat, climbing toward the top of the altar from the other side. He realized that it was impossible to kill Lin Xun without a long battle so he didn’t want to waste more time.

“What a crazy...” Lin Xun’s eyes were cold and chilling as he resisted the impulse to chase after the attacker. Since the other party didn’t want to drag out the battle, he also didn’t want to waste any more time.

The number one fortune was on the top of the altar, and compared to it, everything else was unimportant.

Before long, Lin Xun ran into a familiar person!

Mu Jianting!

When Mu Jianting noticed Lin Xun approaching his way, his expression visibly changed and he backed away far before Lin Xun could create trouble for him.

It was obvious that his previous tragic defeat at Lin Xun’s hands had traumatized him. He didn’t dare to face Lin Xun directly again.

Lin Xun ignored him and continued to charge forward.

There was no doubt that the path that led to the number one fortune would be a bloody one with fierce battles breaking out constantly between peerless geniuses.

Along the way, even Lin Xun couldn’t avoid being stained with blood. Imaginably, the battles were terrifyingly fierce and intense.

Lin Xun finally reached the end of the path, but the pressure was even greater than before because almost at the same time, peerless geniuses such as Yu Lingkong, Ji Xingyao, Shang Jia, and Shi Yun also arrived one after another.

However, when they reached the summit of the altar, the fighting came to a temporary halt, and everyone faced each other nervously and guardedly.

In the central position stood an ancient table, on which sat a bronze bell inscribed with dense gray dao runes and bright azure light flowing around it.

This was the number one fortune irresistible to any cultivator in the world.

However, one had to face deadly dangers if one wanted to seize the great fortune.

Almost everyone knew that whoever dared to rush out first would become a target of everyone and face attacks from all sides!

Therefore, no one dared to make a reckless move.

“I have a suggestion…kill Lin Xun first and then we shall compete for this bronze bell. What do you guys think?”

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Yu Lingkong spoke aloud, ran his eyes across the cultivators, and finally cast a glance at Lin Xun.

All of a sudden, the expressions of Mu Jianting, Shang Jia, and Li Qinghuan changed subtly, as if tempted by the suggestion.

“We don’t have any objection.”

Besides Yu Lingkong, there were also three other successors from the Longevity Land, including Bai Lingxi, so when they heard Yu Lingkong’s proposal, the other two immediately agreed without any hesitation.

As for Bai Lingxi, she pursed her red lips and didn’t say anything. There wasn’t a ripple of emotion on her beautiful and calm face, but in truth, she was extremely anxious and worried.

She never thought that Yu Lingkong would take the lead in attacking Lin Xun as soon as they reached the altar. Not only that, but he also encouraged the others to join in to deal with Lin Xun!

Some people kept silent, such as Ji Xingyao, Luo Jia, and Shi Yun.

But no matter what, Yu Lingkong’s words pushed Lin Xun to the eye of the storm and put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

“Is a successor from the Longevity Land so useless? To kill me, you need to rely on other people. Yu Lingkong, it seems that you are nothing special.” Lin Xun chuckled while his black eyes turned cold.

“Nonsense! I just don’t want you to delay everyone from seizing the great fortune.” Yu Lingkong was dressed in a jade-colored robe with his black hair flowing loosely down his back, but his most striking feature was the fierce and ruthless look in his eyes.

“Yu Lingkong, if you are not afraid then why would you need to make such a shameless suggestion?” Lin Xun made no secret of his contempt.

The two locked gazes, snarling at each other, and crackling sparks of lightning flew between their eyes.

One was a peerless figure from the younger generation of the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World, who had long made a name for himself. He was exceptional whether it was in background, strength, skills, and ability. He was so amazing that none of his peers dared to hold up their heads in front of him.

The other was Demon God Lin, who had only risen to fame in the past half a year through bloody killings, but many famous genius figures had already been defeated at his hands.

Undoubtedly, the clash between the two would attract a lot of attention.

Clang!

Yu Lingkong lightly tapped one finger on the sword in his hand, and the bright jade-like sword shone with a beam of blinding light, chilling everyone to the core.

“Since you think so, then I will kill you now so you can die in peace,” Yu Lingkong uttered calmly, his face devoid of emotion.

He was indeed very detached. His state of mind was like a solid boulder, which was a kind of restrained conceit and also an unrivaled superiority.

The atmosphere around the altar turned oppressive and tense, and everyone’s minds were drawn to the two of them.

Yu Lingkong wanted to subdue Lin Xun before fighting for the number one fortune. This was unexpected, but understandable after careful consideration.

This was because the Dao Lantern Festival had come to the final stage.

And Yu Lingkong had indeed announced on the Sinking Sea that he would kill Lin Xun with his own hands!

“To tell you the truth, I have been tolerating you for a long time. You have provoked me time and time again. Do you think that you’re the best and can do whatever you want?” Lin Xun’s expression was as calm as his. Moreover, he spoke very seriously, “Since you came to my door, I will fulfill your wish and send you on your way.”

Shua!

The surrounding space violently quaked. Without a word, Yu Lingkong came speeding forward with the ancient dao sword in his hand.

Like a flash of lightning, it illuminated the universe.

Endless waves of Dao Meaning power rolled up and raged amidst the fierce sword intent, producing many earthshaking visions one after another.

The sword intent seemed capable of sweeping the universe and dimming everything in the world!

Deep in Lin Xun’s eyes, cold intent gleamed for an instant. He circulated his qi around his body, activated his powers to the peak, and brought out the Broken Blade to fight.

Bang!

A crackling light seemed to explode in the void, causing the altar to rumble and buzz. The terrifying sword intent and the blade light clashed, unleashing destruction upon the world.

The two fiercely collided like the sun and moon competing for glory, or like two ancient mountains slamming into each other.

Everyone’s expression tensed up, and they subconsciously drew back to avoid being swept into the shock waves.

The two successors of the Longevity Land were ready to join in to kill Lin Xun together with Yu Lingkong.

However, they didn’t do so because they believed that Yu Lingkong could easily kill Lin Xun without their help.

They knew how strong Yu Lingkong was. He could be called the most dazzling genius in the entire South Wonder World.

Bai Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, she couldn’t help scrunching her brows in worry because she also knew how terrifying Yu Lingkong was. Can Lin Xun...can he survive?

Dressed in a plain dress, Ji Xingyao looked as cold as ice. Her bright eyes glowed a frightening light as she intently watched the duel, but there wasn’t a ripple of emotion on her stunning face.

On the other side, Luo Jia was standing silently with a sacred aura flowing around her body like a celestial phoenix. The treasure vase above her head poured out divine brilliance and bathed her in a wonderful glow.

In addition to them, Shang Jia, Shi Yun, Li Qinghuan, and Mu Jianting were also watching the duel with intent gazes.

However, they were more concerned about the number one fortune on the table not far away!

It was the best time to fight for the fortune while Yu Lingkong and Lin Xun were locked in a fierce battle!

Boom!

The battle grew increasingly intense. Lin Xun was terrifying with an air of superiority like a demon god descending upon the world. The Broken Blade emitted wondrous white light as it flashed across the air and flooded the world with murderous intent.

But Yu Lingkong was even stronger. He seemed like a sacred being, sending Dao Meaning power roaring in all directions with a flip of his hand. Sword light beamed and dazzled everyone’s eyes.

Meanwhile, someone finally couldn’t help but make a move. It was Shi Yun from the Night Demon Clan. He wanted to take the chance to snatch the number one fortune.

Swoosh!

Almost at the same time, Ji Xingyao also moved. Her steps were swift and light, and without any showy movements, but her speed was much faster than Shi Yun’s.

But she was stopped in her way.

Mu Jianting and Li Qinghuan were the culprits. They didn’t fight for fortune, but instead attacked Ji Xingyao from different directions.

Ji Xingyao narrowed her eyes. Instantly, she could tell that the two had allied with Shi Yun. They were responsible for blocking her while Shi Yun was going to seize the fortune.

“Fight!”

However, Ji Xingyao didn’t panic in the slightest. Instead, the corners of her lips curled upwards in a cold smile.

As she spoke, Luo Jia flashed like a phoenix in the air and swooped down with incredible speed to obstruct Shi Yun!

Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia had also joined forces.

The incessant unexpected changes would make anyone dumbfounded. Who would have imagined that the peerless geniuses would all choose to ally?

But that only highlighted how dangerous and unpredictable the situation was. The slightest carelessness could lead to their death!
