The Prodigies War
chapter-927

When they arrived, Zhou Kuanglan didn’t need to activate the Divine Compass for guidance because everyone immediately caught sight of Lin Xun.

On the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain, Lin Xun was standing with his hands behind his back under an ancient pine tree. The mountainous wind rattled his clothes, making him look even more extraordinary.

The scene struck everyone dumb. No one thought that Lin Xun would show up of his own accord.

“Lin Xun, you know you have nowhere to go so you all came to accept death, is that right?” Xie Yutang shouted with excitement, his eyes glowing menacingly.

He had been humiliated by Lin Xun on the Sinking Sea and completely lost his reputation.

“No, I am waiting to send you all on your way,” Lin Xun answered in the calmest voice, which bewildered them all.

“Stop pretending, if you’re not scared then why did you run away just now?” Xie Yutang yelled in disdain.

He felt as satisfied and delighted as if he caught a turtle in a jar knowing that he was about to get his revenge.

The other experts were checking around and investigating the area, looking extremely cautious. They were worried that it could be a trap. Even if they were certain that they could easily kill Lin Xun with their combined strength, they didn’t dare to let down their guard.

After all, Lin Xun demonstrated his mighty power at the Dao Lantern Festival. Additionally, he held a Saint treasure.

“Lin Xun, tell that girl to quickly come out. You are at the end of your rope now and you have nowhere to run to. Why are you still hiding?” someone said coldly.

“I can easily kill you all by myself.” As Lin Xun swept a glance over them, his tone of voice became colder and colder.

“Elders, please take action. That kid is definitely scheming something and deliberately stalling!” Xie Yutang shouted aloud.

“Wait, listen to me for a second.” An influential figure stood up.

It was an old man in gray. His eyes glinted as he studied Lin Xun from afar. “Young man, hand over the Saint treasure in your hand, and I promise to give you a chance of life and won’t let you die.”

Everyone frowned irritably, but when they recognized the old man, no one dared to utter a single word.

He was a renowned cultivator in the West Infinity World called Elder Fengya. He possessed an unfathomable cultivation base and had reached the half-step king stage long ago.

“Lin Xun, you saw what your situation is now. You should use this chance to hand over all the treasures on you like I told you and then I will fight for a chance for you to live.” A gray haired old woman with sunken-in cheeks also interrupted, irritating the others again.

But because the old woman had a more frightening background than Elder Fengya, they had to hold back from saying anything.

“Old idiots, you don’t even know that you’re about to die.” Lin Xun chuckled out loud.

Elder Fengya and the gray-haired old woman reddened with anger, and their eyes blazed with murderous intent. The others’ expressions also twisted strangely.

How can Demon God Lin be so tough and arrogant at this moment? Where does he get his courage from?

The more confident and fearless Lin Xun was, the more uncertain they felt. Some thought he was playing tricks and stalling for time, while others believed that he was going to go all out knowing that he was about to die.

Some people even wondered whether Lin Xun had gone crazy.

After all, no normal person would act this indifferent in the face of life and death.

But time was pressing and didn’t allow them to think too long.

Next, some people stepped forward, wanting to ascend the mountain. The atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive, a murderous aura pervaded the air and a storm seemed to be gathering in the distance.

“That’s it!”

Xie Yutang, Zhuo Kuanglan and Qing Lian’er were all staring coldly at Lin Xun, and couldn't wait to see him killed.

“Young man, we gave you a chance but you didn’t treasure it. Why do you have to do that to yourself?” Elder Fengya strode forward, oozing calmness and confidence.

“Lin Xun, you should come with me? You are considered a talented genius in this world, wouldn’t it be a shame if you died like this>” persuaded the old woman calmly, exuding an unquestionable authority and overbearing power.

How would the other people watch Lin Xun being killed by someone else and do nothing? All of them launched into action, scrambling to be the first to seize the treasure on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was as calm and indifferent as before, his black eyes were frighteningly cold and without a ripple of emotion. It was as if he was looking at a bunch of dead people.

Huh?

At the same time, he noticed that some cultivators were standing still in the same spot and looking hesitant.

However, in the eyes of other cultivators, his vigilance and nervousness became panic and fear.

“Everyone, look, that guy can’t hide his fear anymore. He’s starting to get scared!” Xie Yutang laughed mockingly, “Lin Xun, keep pretending! Why are you suddenly afraid now?”

Both Qing Lian’er and Zhuo Kuanglan also noticed the change in Lin Xun’s facial expression, and their hearts began to calm down. They no longer had any worries.

Even Demon God Lin is nothing special when facing death!

Meanwhile, the experts who rushed out first raised their speed. If they weren’t cautious of the others, they would have attacked already.

“Lin Xun, I always keep to my word. It’s not too late for you to change your mind.” The old woman might have a kind face, but her voice was undeniably threatening, ”But if you hesitate any longer, no one can save you.”

With one step, she was already drifting up the mountain.

Lin Xun sneered. This old woman is so irritating. She thinks my life is in her hands and keeps threatening me, but little does she know that she has already walked right into danger!

If Lin Xun hadn’t planned to get rid of them all at once, he would have already started his killing spree.

“Young man, your chance is fading away. I hope you won’t be so stupid to make the wrong choice. Otherwise, you will be doomed.” Elder Fengya seemed calm and confident, but he was moving faster than anyone else as if he wanted to be the first to kill Lin Xun.

Although the other influential figures were quiet, they were all closing in on Lin Xun from different directions.

It was at that moment that the experts standing in the same spot couldn’t hold back anymore. They couldn’t let other people get to Lin Xun before them.

Suddenly, the White Jade Lightning Lion roared, “We all just want to kill an already wounded little bastard, is there a need to go to such trouble? Get out of the way!”

Boom!

It soared into the sky, and a giant palm slammed down. Lighting pulsed upwards and rioted before condensing into a huge palm and coming crashing down on a mountain.

Immediately, the color of the sky changed and the air raged chaotically. This was a blow from a half-step king, which could easily smash a mountain and valley!

Lin Xun tensed up. If that blow succeeded then the tremendous formation he had set up in advance would be exposed, and his plan to wipe them all out at once would be ruined.

“How dare you?!”

“Do you think you can snatch my treasure? Don’t even think about it!”

However, someone was more anxious than Lin Xun. The old woman and Elder Fengya were boiling with anger. They immediately acted to dispel the attack of the White Jade Lightning Lion, which helped Lin Xun massively.

At the same time, they quickened their pace and rushed up the mountain.

In ordinary times, they could ascend the mountain in the blink of an eye, but for some reason today, the further they went up the mountain, the more distant the peak of the mountain seemed.

At first, they didn’t care much, thinking it was just a deceptive trick from Lin Xun, but soon, their expressions changed. They realized that something was wrong, but it was already impossible to stop so they had no choice but to continue to charge forward.

Moreover, they believed that, even if there was a trap, they could easily resolve it given their combined strengths.

Seeing the attack of the White Jade Lightning Lion being dispelled so easily, the experts standing in the same spot couldn’t wait any longer. They all raced forward with all their strength. If they didn’t move quickly, then it would be impossible to snatch any treasure.

“They are finally coming...” Lin Xun smiled, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes.

“How…can that guy still smile?” Xie Yutang said through gritted teeth, eyes widening. “He deserves to die! I’ve never seen someone as arrogant as him!”

Zhuo Kuanglan’s and Qing Lian’er’s faces also darkened. Lin Xun suddenly became extremely calm and was smiling brightly. They saw not a tinge of panic, helplessness or despair on his face.

They couldn’t accept it. They wanted to witness the whole process of Lin Xun being killed, not that!

“Little fellow, I gave you a chance but unfortunately, you didn’t treasure it. Then don’t blame me for being cruel.”

The old woman was the first to reach Lin Xun. As she was speaking, her hand reached to grab Lin Xun like a bolt of lightning.

How could she not be in a hurry? The others were right behind her. She didn’t want something unexpected to happen at this critical juncture.

“Old idiot, I am the one who came to send you guys on your way!”

Lin Xun extended his hands that were kept behind his back, and the formation device sitting in his palm suddenly buzzed.

Boom!

The image of a blazing Vermilion Bird appeared out of thin air, beating its bright-red wings and sprinkling thousands of dazzling flames upon the old woman.

“Ah…”

Caught off guard, the old woman yelled out loud. She was very confident and domineering moments ago, but now she looked extremely discomposed and cried out like a slaughtered pig. She completely destroyed her image.

The Vermilion Bird image was unstoppable, and the shower of blazing flames continued to spread. They contained terrifying destructive power as they were formed from a king-grade restriction formation.

Instantly, the old woman was trapped in a sea of flames, jumping up and down, trying to break free, and screaming like a banshee.

Everyone stared aghast at her. She is a famous half-step king, how can she be in such a disaster already?

Also, isn’t her scream too tragic?

But soon, their expressions dramatically changed. A very bad feeling enveloped them, and they felt chills all over. Could this be a pre-planned trap?

Many people frantically retreated, but it was too late.

Lin Xun had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was time to pull in the net. He would not let anyone escape at this moment.

He quickly activated the formation device and mobilized the king-grade restriction formation that was already set up across the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, the world changed; clouds and mist obscured the sky, murderous intent flooded the area, and restriction runes emerged like a tide, shining with a chilling and ominous radiance.
