The Prodigies War

Everything all happened too fast, from Lin Xun crushing the man’s head with a stomp, to getting his left shoulder injured, to knocking the woman in green down and killing her, it all happened in the blink of an eye. It all ended before anyone had time to react!

When the sudden series of attacks came to an end, there were two fewer people on the battlefield.

So far, five peerless figures with reputations that shook the starry sky had been killed by Lin Xun in the battle.

Overall, it took less than a moment!

Many people paled at his overwhelming strength and the way he killed with irresistible force.

However, at that moment, Lin Xun also had his left shoulder wounded and his clothes were stained with blood!

This was also the first time he had been injured since the battle first began.

“He’s injured, which proves that he is not invincible!” Someone’s eyes gleamed.

“Kill!”

The others buzzed with excitement and their attacks intensified, becoming more swift and terrifying than before.

The fact that Lin Xun was able to forge ahead despite being surrounded and even killed five opponents had already struck fear into many people and made them draw back.

In addition, Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang, Jing Tiannan and other top figures had yet to take action, which made many people keep their wits about. They were worried that these elite personages were waiting to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, everyone held back even when attacking Lin Xun, ready to withdraw completely if the situation looked unfavorable.

After all, although the prize was good, they were not as important as their life.

But once Lin Xun was injured, they saw hope, a possibility of killing Lin Xun and seizing the platform!

“Kill!”

The area became increasingly turbulent, with lights beaming all over the place and dao arts raging across; the world was plunged into chaos.

“It's just a little wound, do you really think this is your chance?”

Lin Xun’s voice was icy and his expression was as calm and chilling as before, as if he had not been wounded at all.

Additionally, his aura was as powerful and menacing as ever.

Rumble!

The air around him crackled with murderous intent, and the next moment, another expert dropped dead.

He was overpowered by Lin Xun and tried to move away, but Lin Xun instantly ended his life with the Broken Blade.

This was the sixth person to die at the hands of Lin Xun. The shock it caused spoke for itself.

“Lin Xun, you are already injured, are you still going to resist?”

Feng Beiling glowed like a deity descending upon the earth. With a flourish, he suddenly brought out a black horsetail whisk and came charging over with mighty power.

He was left frustrated and furious when he was overpowered by Lin Xun earlier, but this time, he brought out his trump card—an ancient Emperor weapon.

Fallen Soul Horsetail Whisk!

Boom!

It was a horsetail whisk with a divine aura swirling around it, as if it could whisk away all chaos and wipe out the void with its unparalleled power.

A smile curved Lin Xun’s lips as he strode forward and brought the Dao Lifeless Seal to meet it.

Shua!

His robe fluttered gracefully and ethereally, contrasting with his mighty and commanding presence. He attacked Feng Beiling straight on.

Rumble—

Between the two, weapons clashed repeatedly and all sorts of techniques were activated.

One was like a daoist deity descending upon the earth, capable of destroying everything with a sweep of the horsetail whisk.

The other was like a demon god moving unhindered across the world. The Dao Lifeless Seal glowed lethally, unleashing destruction and chaos upon the world.

It was obvious that, as soon as the battle began, Feng Beiling had fallen into a disadvantageous position again, almost completely overpowered by Lin Xun. Without the incredible treasure in his hand, he would have long been suppressed by Lin Xun already.

“So aggressive!”

Realizing this, Feng Beiling raged and suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence and roared.

An illusory golden Dharma body took shape and transformed into a furious heavenly lord. Equipped with the Fallen Soul Horsetail Whisk, it sped downwards with terrifying killing intent.

The void shook violently. The golden heavenly lord apparition was powerful and majestic, and the Fallen Soul Horsetail Whisk was an unfathomable Emperor-grade treasure. This strike had to be deadly.

“Hmph!” Lin Xun snorted coldly, his gaze unyielding and resolute, and a horsetail whisk also flew out from his hand.

It was as bright and white as snow, and it had a beautiful dreamy glow. It seemed to have been floating in the endless river of time, experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

Three Thousand Vicissitudes!

Although the treasure left by the Lord of Fangchun Mountain had been severely damaged, its power was still incredible.

Rumble!

Three Thousand Vicissitudes swept across the air, blocking the attack of the heavenly lord apparition and completely suppressed the Fallen Soul Horsetail Whisk, making it whimper and buzz endlessly.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun raised the Dao Lifeless Seal and pounced down like a human-shaped whale.

Feng Beiling’s expression dramatically changed as he frantically took out an Emperor sword to fight back.

Boom!

The Dao Lifeless Seal and the Emperor sword collided with a resounding clang, sparks flying from the point of impact. Even time and space seem to distort and explode. Then, with a loud boom, the sword was propelled across the air.

Everyone was rooted to the spot with shock. Lin Xun was too strong. Even Feng Beiling was completely crushed and stood no chance at all. It was truly unbelievable.

Pu!

In the end, Feng Beiling coughed up blood and staggered backward. He had been gravely injured and his body had become incomparably dim.

His pale face was contorted with fear, as well as shock and bewilderment.

“Die!”

Lin Xun wore a bone-chilling expression as the Primal Chaos Great Dao Field shrouded the sky like a curtain, completely submerging Feng Beiling who was trying to escape.

“No—!”

A roar of anger and bitterness rang out, but soon ceased abruptly.

As the Primal Chaos Great Dao Field roared, Feng Beiling’s body was worn away bit by bit. His primordial spirit was reduced into dust and he was completely obliterated from the world.

Another peerless expert had died!

At this moment, cold dread settled in everyone’s heart. They felt an unprecedented anger, fear and terror from the inside out.

Despite being wounded, Lin Xun was still as strong and superior as he was at the start of the battle. How could they fight him?

Many people’s fighting spirit was shaken again.

“Too fierce, too damn fierce…”

Xuan Jiuyin excitedly slapped Ling Kezi on the shoulder and exclaimed with joy, “Little monk, have you ever seen someone as fierce?”

Ling Kezi furrowed his brow in discomfort and grumbled irritably, “Can you not hit your own shoulder? Also, is that the only word you know? You keep saying the word ‘fierce’ over and over again. Even if you haven’t said it enough, I have heard enough.”

Xuan Jiuyin burst out laughing and slapped Ling Kezi on the shoulder again. “My father once said that there are thousands of words in this world, but the word ‘fierce’ is the most catchy. I am just complimenting that guy!”

Ling Kezi could only rub his aching shoulder and smile wryly.

In the distance, Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang, Jing Tiannan, Wen Yu and others all wore solemn expressions, fighting intent flashing in their eyes, ready to act.

They had been waiting for the perfect opportunity!

It was at this moment when—

On the battlefield, a snow-bright blade sliced through the void, passing through the various attacks, and slashed straight towards Lin Xun!

It was so fast, as if it bypassed the shackles of space, and it was too sharp, as if the tip of the blade could pierce through anything with unstoppable force.

The most bizarre thing was that it went through the Primal Chaos Great Dao Field around Lin Xun like it was cutting through the air, and it instantly was inches away from Lin Xun!

Terrified, Lin Xun swiftly dodged to the side.

Even at this moment, he was unwilling to take a step back!

Pu!

A terrifying scene followed. The defensive power intertwined around Lin Xun seemed to have failed. The blade easily pierced through and left a narrow and long slash across his chest!

There was no doubt that if Lin Xun had dodged a little slower, he would have been split open!

The scene astonished all the experts around Lin Xun.

That blade was too bizarre and terrifying!

Immediately, everyone felt a surge of excitement and their eyes lit up.

Lin Xun had actually finally sustained significant injuries and was almost split open by the blade!

It was also at this moment that everyone saw the attacker.

It was an elegant and handsome young man in a gray robe. His eyes burned with a fierce intensity, as strong as the aura that surrounded him

Shang Ziyan!

He was a core disciple of Panwu Dao Court and ranked tenth on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings.

He might be ranked lower than Feng Beiling and Kong Zhao, but he had an outstanding performance in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm.

Even the leader of the Mythical Huang Dao Court, Taishu Hong, couldn’t help but remark that it was time to re-rank the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings after witnessing Shang Ziyan’s performance!

This indicated that the current ranking did not represent the true strength of Shang Ziyan!

However, everyone's attention was drawn to the blade in his hand.

It was two feet and four inches long, three fingers wide, and as bright as snow. The blade shimmered with a dreamy and illusory glow, its light both mesmerizing and frightening.

“The Dao Lawless Blade, one of Kunlun’s nine Emperor weapons!” Xuan Jiuyin blurted out, and his expression changed.

Everyone shuffled restlessly, struggling to remain calm.

Compared to other Kunlun’s nine Emperor weapons, such as the Dao Lifeless Seal and Dao Structureless Flag that Lin Xun held, the Dao Lawless Blade had a resounding reputation in the starry sky.

As early as the ancient era, the blade had fallen into the hands of the ancient Imperial Shang Clan, becoming the clan’s most precious Emperor weapon.

Legend has it that its most frightening ability lay in the fact that it could pierce through any technique, art, weapon, or item no matter how amazing it was.

It was as free and unrestrained as a fish swimming in the water!

For a cultivator, their most powerful skill was their dao and arts. Only that gave them the ability to control life and death.

However, under the blade, all dao and arts were nothing but decorations!

This was where the name Lawless came from.

Shang Ziyan was also only able to severely wound Lin Xun by relying on the unique power of the blade!

“Lin Xun, it’s all over for you.”

Shang Ziyan stepped forward, blade humming in his hand. Its surface was so bright and magnificent that everything in the world seemed dull and muted in its presence.

Everyone lit up with excitement. A turning point…seemed to be coming!

The eyes of Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang, Jing Tiannan, Wen Yu and others all glinted. They were all ready to take action.

“It’s over? Nonsense.”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply and the wound on his chest visibly healed. However, his face was still somewhat pale from the earlier injury.

This was the terror of the Dao Lawless Blade. External injuries could heal up easily, but the destructive power released by the blade was not so easy to deal with.

“You have been fighting till now, your strength is constantly depleting, and now you are wounded. You are like a beast in a cage. What else do you have to fight with?” Shang Ziyan’s voice reverberated throughout the battlefield.

A menacing expression twisted his face.

He marched forward as he spoke.

Shua!

The two-foot-four-inch long Dao Lawless Blade slashed through the air, blade qi sweeping across the sky like a river of stars. It gleamed with a dazzling yet domineering brilliance.

This blade strike was endowed with Shang Ziyan’s cultivation and will. It was impossible to describe how terrifying it was with just words!

Many experts who had originally surrounded Lin Xun swiftly moved away, fearing that they would be swept into the destructive power of the blade.

However, Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed an unfathomable look. He did not dodge or evade, but simply stretched out one hand and uttered calmly, “Today, this blade will have a new owner.”
