The Prodigies War

Chapter 1728: Face-Off and Exchange

Alone, he climbed the mountain, dragging a number of bloodied prey tied with ropes behind him.

The brutal scene struck horror into the Heaven and Earth Dao Court successors who were standing on the mountainside.

That kid actually appeared in such an atrocious and cruel way!

They had never expected to see such a sight.

“Go and inform Senior Brother Gu Cangxin that the target has shown up.” The man in charge quickly sent a message.

A woman suddenly transformed into a glistening golden bird and swiftly flew away.

The restriction space power that prevented all cultivators from teleporting and flying posed no barrier to the woman whose original form was a divine bird.

The man in charge inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, then his eyes turned ice-cold.

“Prepare for battle,” he commanded.

Everyone nearby sprang into action. Some brought out precious treasures, while others activated secret arts. Every one of them exuded a frightening and imposing aura like gods of the mountain, watching Lin Xun approach from afar.

On the ancient bluestone steps, Lin Xun raised his head and ran his eyes over everyone. There was not a shred of emotion in his expression.

Boom!

The next second, the Broken Blade slashed out like a flash of blinding white lightning.

Without a word, a battle broke out.

His powerful and domineering attacking stance made all Heaven and Earth Dao Court successors stare at him with overcasted expressions and unhesitatingly launch into attacks.

……

At the same time, at the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain.

The wind howled and the sea of ​​clouds swirled around the mountain. A number of experts from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, the Primordial Dao Court, the Taowu Battle Clan and the Blood Qilin Battle Clan had gathered together.

It was an astonishing line-up!

There was no lack of supreme Big Saints among them, and every one of them had an aura as splendid and dazzling as the sun in the sky around them, illuminating the mountains and valleys.

Many of them flushed with pride.

With so many successors and descendants of major forces assembled together, any cultivator would be shredded before them!

Shua!

A ferocious golden bird rushed out from the mountain path and urgently reported, “Senior Brother Gu, Lin Xun has forged his way up the mountain!”

This news caused a commotion and struck many people dumb. That guy actually came?

“Haha, he has a death wish! He actually showed up and did not waste our efforts of waiting here for so many days!” Gu Cangxin sneered coldly.

This area had gathered a group of top figures, all of whom were geniuses and talents from major forces, and with many listed on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

This assemblage of talented cultivators would strike terror into the heart of anyone and make them feel suffocated. In their eyes, Lin Xun was basically a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

“Everyone, the target has appeared. It’s time to get revenge, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! I just have one thing to say before we take action: that kid must die today!” Gu Cangxin had a baleful look.

“Of course.”

In the nearby area, murderous intent flared around dozens of peerless supreme Big Saints.

Their bodies were either shrouded with divine flames, flowing with golden light, shooting out terrifying sword qi, or exuding the power to swallow up mountains and rivers. Every one of them had an unmatched aura, and their every gesture or movement threatened to wipe the heavens and the earth.

They were top experts in the supreme Big Saint Stage, as dazzling as stars. Even in the Ancient Nebula Road, they were illustrious names.

Tao Jianxing and Kun Jiulin were among them.

The reason these influential figures from different forces had united was because they had all suffered great losses at the hands of Lin Xun in Treasure Refining Land.

If they didn’t join forces, they had no confidence to successfully suppress Lin Xun.

Unlike now, they had hundreds of people gathered together, ready for battle. They had absolute confidence that they could crush any of their peers, let alone Lin Xun!

“Haha, Lin Xun probably never thought he alone would spark so much enmity, right?” Gu Cangxin remarked leisurely and complacently.

“Pah!” A voice filled with contempt rang out from the cliff not far away. A blood-covered Dapeng forced his head up and sneered mockingly.

“It’s already shameful that you are ganging up on a single person alone, but you’re boasting about it so smugly. Do you have any shame?”

His wings had snapped and his body had been nailed to the ground by a huge iron spike. Blood was still pumping out from his wounds. Horribly injured, he could not conjure a scrap of strength to break free.

Not far away, a hoarse and weak laugh sounded, “Little Dapeng King, you are wrong. How would trash have a sense of shame?”

It was a built snubbed-nosed monkey, but his skin and hair were split open and a jet black chain skewered through his shoulder bone and imprisoned him to the ground.

Yuan Fatian!

Like the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, he was unable to move a single step and was on the verge of death.

“So noisy!” Gu Cangxin’s face darkened, “Take care of them for me!”

Two men immediately stood forward with an iron whip covered with densely blood-red dao runes and lashed down hard.

PA! PA! PA!

Each strike felt like their bones being cut by a blunt knife or their heart being pierced by thousands of blades. Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian convulsed violently. The excruciating pain that penetrated deep into their bones and spirit felt like the cruelest torture in the world.

“You are tough, but you are still my defeated foe. If you didn’t have some use, I would have killed you long ago!” Gu Cangxin said callously.

The experts nearby also smiled coldly. They were all aware that the two had a close relationship with Lin Xun, so everything they had suffered from Lin Xun was taken out on them.

“Haha, with them in our hands, Lin Xun will definitely hold back. I can’t wait to see what kind of decision he will make to save those two. It must be hard for him.” Tao Jianxing howled with laughter, a ruthless expression twisting his face.

“It’s unfortunate that, before we reached the top of the Imperial Dragon Mountain, some people with Flying Immortal Tablets had entered the mysterious forbidden area. Otherwise, if we captured them all, it would definitely put Lin Xun in an even more difficult situation.” Kun Jiulin sighed.

“Don’t worry, Lu Xuanji and others have already headed into the mysterious forbidden area. It will only be a matter of time before they capture and kill those that hold a Flying Immortal Tablet,” Gu Cangxin said indifferently.

Not far from where they were standing was a mysterious forbidden area, shrouded in thick white fog. Without a Flying Immortal Tablet, anyone who tried to trespass into it would be met with disaster.

While everyone was talking and chatting, a muffled crash at the bottom of the mountain caught their attention.

Then, all conversations ceased abruptly.

In everyone’s spirit sense, the same bizarre and bloody scene appeared. Lin Xun was making his way up the mountain steps alone.

Behind him, he was dragging a rope that was tied around the bloodied and scar-riddled bodies of dozens of experts. All of them were badly wounded and at their last breath.

Among those prisoners were the dozen of Heaven and Earth Dao Court successors who had blocked Lin Xun path on the mountainside!

The woman who had transformed into a divine bird couldn’t help but scream and turn pale with horror.

At the same time, an uproar broke out at the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain.

“Damn it!”

“Argh! They are comrades of our Blood Qilin Battle Clan!”

“You—you—you...how dare you humiliate the successors of our Primordial Dao Court like that!”

On the mountain summit, everyone was furious, glowering at Lin Xun with terrifying murderous rage.

The previous loud and arrogant talks had stopped, and the atmosphere had turned extremely austere. Even the clouds and airflow raged turbulently.

Gu Cangxin, Kun Jiulin, Tao Jianxing and the others all wore terrifying, ice-cold expressions.

They never imagined that Lin Xun would show up in such a way, dragging a group of their comrades by ropes. This was undoubtedly the most blatant provocation and insult!

“Hahaha, you’re as impressive as ever, Lin Xun. Seeing you here again makes me content even if I die!” Yuan Fatian laughed maniacally, tears gathering in his eyes.

He also did not expect Lin Xun to actually come!

He…

…was still the same as before...

“Idiot! Don’t you see that this is a trap? Run! I’d rather die than let you lose your life!” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King roared anxiously, more so than when he was being whipped and tortured.

Lin Xun stepped onto the mountain summit and looked over the crowd to see Little Golden Winged Dapeng King nailed to the ground by an iron spike and Yuan Fatian had a chain skewered through his shoulder blade. He felt suffocated in the chest like there was a lump in his heart.

“They wanted to target me, and you two...got involved because of me…” Lin Xun muttered in a low voice, his dark eyes terrifyingly unfathomable.

“Run!” Little Golden Winged Dapeng King howled, his eyes turning red.

Does this guy know that those gathered here are all fierce characters from the Ancient Nebula Road and they beat anyone from the Nine Domains?

“Do you want to run? Impossible!” Gu Cangxin’s voice was like ice.

Murderous intent swept out from him, engulfing the area. Black hair flying in the wind, he locked his eyes on Lin Xun like lightning and uttered each word with a noticeable pause. “Today, you all must die!”

Bang!

Lin Xun stood alone and moved not a jot.

But behind him, one of the bound Heaven and Earth Dao Court successors suddenly exploded and splattered blood everywhere.

This was Lin Xun’s response to Gu Cangxin!

“Do you want to die?!”

The successors from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court flew into a rage and were about to charge at Lin Xun, but they were stopped by the others.

In Lin Xun’s hands were the lives of dozens of cultivators besides the successors from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court.

With such hostages in his hand, everyone had to be extra cautious!

“Release them, and I will let these people go too,” Lin Xun negotiated coldly.

This was the reason why he never took the lives of his enemies!

He wanted to use their lives to exchange for the lives of Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian.

“You wish!” Kun Jiulin thundered.

Originally, they captured Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian to use them to blackmail Lin Xun, but who would have thought that Lin Xun would use the same trick on them.

Bang!

Behind Lin Xun, a Primordial Dao Court successor collapsed to the ground, body split into multiple parts. His tragic death made the other captives scream out in horror.

Gu Cangxin and the others gnashed their teeth in anger and hatred at his ruthlessness. That bastard came prepared!

“Are you not worried that we will kill those two?” Tao Jianxing threatened.

Bang!

This time, behind Lin Xun, a descendant of the Taowu Battle Clan died and fell in a pool of blood.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Xun was frighteningly powerful and domineering, and his means were extremely violent and brutal, which petrified the cultivators present.

They had no doubt that if they continued to provoke Lin Xun or drag this out, he would only kill more captives!
