The Prodigies War

Chapter 1759: The Moment the Flower Withers

Wen Qingxue looked bleak!

No matter how high her cultivation was, how beautiful she was, and how extraordinary her background was, it was impossible to maintain composure when she was reduced to a prisoner whose fate was no longer in her own control.

A’hu suddenly turn to Lin Xun and asked, “Brother Lin, will you think that I’m being too cruel?”

Lin Xun was taken aback, then couldn’t help but smile.

He suddenly pressed his hand on Wen Qingxue’s head. With a loud noise, an energy surged out from his palm and into the latter like a landslide.

Bang!

All the pores on her body exploded.

Immediately following, all of her acupoints were wrecked.

Everyone could see Wen Qingxue’s aura deteriorating at a drastic speed like a shiny pearl quickly losing its luster.

Wen Qingxue froze as if struck by lightning, seemingly in disbelief. The excruciating pain she was in physically hurt far less than the mental blow dealt to her mind and spirit!

She hadn’t expected at all that Lin Xun would strike out of the blue and in a way that was so ruthless. She hadn’t even had time to react.

Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, and the others were shaken to their core as they watched from a distance. He…he really abolished Wen Qingxue’s cultivation?

This kind of rampant, unconcerned way of acting struck a deep apprehension into them all.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wen Qingxue’s thick, glossy, black hair became white, and her tender, porcelain skin was drained of vitality and dried up.

Just a few breaths, Wen Qingxue seemed to have aged decades, now with shriveled skin, white hair, and a stooped posture!

Taking away her cultivation was like breaking her bridge to longevity, turning a famously stunning fairy into a senile old woman!

Unless one had seen this happen with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t be able to connect this old crone to the goddess who was sought after and adored by countless people.

A flower withered in a moment, the beauty aged in a snap of the fingers!

To any woman, this kind of blow was undoubtedly worse than killing her. Especially, for a supreme figure like Wen Qingxue who had once stood at the peak and enjoyed the best that life had to offer, It was a torture that was cruel to the extreme.

“AHHH!!” she screamed miserably. Her expression was a mix of confusion, pain, anger, and resentment…

Hearing her voice, many people lamented in their hearts.

In this world, no matter how outstanding and formidable you are, everything you possess will go up in smoke once you lose your cultivation!

This was the reality that not only was happening at this moment, but had also constantly played out in history.

Not sparing Wen Qingxue a look, Lin Xun asked A’hu with a smile. “Now, will you think I’m a cruel person?”

A’hu’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she gave him a thumbs up. “If word about your flower-destroying brute act spreads, Brother Lin, those fairies on the Ancient Nebula Road will tremble when they hear your name and never dare to be your enemy.”

Lin Xun was speechless.

Right at this moment, someone couldn’t hold back a cold snort, “Lin Xun, aren’t you too cruel?!”

The speaker wore a look of disgust as they found Lin Xun’s act of abolishing Wen Qingxue’s cultivation extremely detestable.

Lin Xun looked in the voice’s direction to see a handsome youth dressed in colorful clothes and a feather crown. He looked to be an extraordinary character.

“Cruel? Do you know how many and what kind of methods this woman has resorted to kill me in the Kunlun Dominion?” Lin Xun sneered. “But of course you wouldn’t care about this. What you care about is her beauty that faded away because I abolished her cultivation, isn’t it?”

A’hu also laughed, “If you care about Fairy Qingxue so much, why didn’t you intervene? Of course, it’s not too late either. Why don’t I be a matchmaker and betroth her to you so that you two can tie the knot right on this Fengshan Platform?”

These words sent a biting chill through many people’s hearts.

Since Wen Qingxue was currently no different from a rusty old woman, A’hu had obviously made this suggestion with ill intention.

“You…” The colorfully dressed youth was shocked.

“I what? You’re just a shallow guy who treats people based on their appearances. Now that Wen Qingxue’s beauty is no more, aren’t you just as unwilling to approach her?” A’hu scoffed.

“Sharp-tongued wench! Forget it, you can’t be reasoned with!” The colorful-clothed youth inhaled deeply and waved his arm dismissively with a cold snort.

The eyes of Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, and the others flickered as they could see the colorfully dressed youth was holding back out of apprehension.

It made sense as in just one battle, Xu Lingkun had been killed, and Wen Qingxue had been incapacitated. Anyone who wanted to call the shots with Lin Xun would have to first weigh the consequences.

Suddenly, the prostrating Wen Qingxue raised her head and said with a spiteful expression, “Lin Xun, once you step onto the Ancient Nebula Road, the Panwu Dao Court will surely exterminate you!”

Her voice still echoed when she hit her head against the ground.

Bang!

Wen Qingxue fell lifelessly into the pool of blood that overflowed from her head.

Neither Lin Xun nor A’hu had attempted to stop it.

Even if Wen Qingxue hadn’t done that, it would be impossible for her to leave the Kunlun Dominion alive later.

This kind of perilous place was not something that someone of her condition could survive.

A’hu sighed, “That’s why they say the disastrous consequences of your own misdeeds are deadly and well-deserved. Having beauty can earn you pity, but does it give you the right to not die? There is no such thing in this world.”

Rustle~

With a wave of Lin Xun’s sleeve, Wen Qingxue’s corpse and the pool of blood were cleanly wiped off of the ground.

All that remained in the battlefield was the Diagram of Sixteen Emperor Daggers, the mysterious sword tip, the white bone halberd, the Taiwu Dao Sword, as well as everything else that Xu Lingkun and Wen Qingxue left behind.

They naturally became Lin Xun’s trophies.

The crowd watched with twitching lips. This guy, this Lin Xun…is too much!

“Huh, aren’t you guys fast?”

A figure suddenly swept out from the Fengshan Trail. They were wearing a black, short overcoat, had long and straight legs, and their jade-like hands were holding a long, narrow, shiny saber.

It was indeed Tang Su, who was also known as Blade Maniac.

After looking around the field, she keenly noticed the strange atmosphere as well as the remnant traces of battle.

“Can someone tell me what happened here?” Tang Su became highly excited.

Many gazes were directed at Lin Xun.

“Xu Lingkun and Wen Qingxue both died just now,” answered Hua Xingli smilingly.

Tang Su was stunned. She also turned to Lin Xun in surprise. “Who could have guessed that from your looks? You killed Xu Lingkun, so doesn’t that mean your battle prowess can at least be in the top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings?”

Lin Xun chuckled. “That I don’t know.”

Tang Su had always given him a good impression; she had a pure character and valiant demeanor.

The colorfully dressed man suddenly said, “Tang Su, don’t you like to spar with powerful experts? Fellow Daoist Lin Xun is not simple at all. Why don’t you take this opportunity and test him out?”

A cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes, and he looked over.

The colorfully dressed man smiled. “Don’t misunderstand. It’s just a spar, not a life-or-death duel for revenge.”

“Then why don’t we spar for fun?” Lin Xun flashed as he teleported in a step and directly struck out.

Boom!

It was only a simple punch, the power of which lay in the fact that it had returned to basics.

The colorfully dressed man paled as he hastily dodged. He angrily criticized, “Lin Xun, you’re too overbearing! When did I agree to spar with you?”

Lin Xun said, “Like Tang Su, I also love sparring with powerful people, so of course I have to seize this opportunity. Don’t you tell me that you are not a powerful expert.”

While saying this, he shot through the air and blasted out punches at a lightning speed. His fist qi covered the sky and enveloped all directions, preventing the man from dodging entirely.

Kaboom!

The colorfully dressed man grunted in fury as he had no choice but to fight it head-on.

However, it was only a matter of moments before Lin Xun’s endless punches suppressed him into a sorry state where he couldn’t lift his head.

The crowd couldn’t hold back their snickers.

The colorfully dressed man was Tuo Chenghai who came from the Burning Spirit Battle Clan, which was one of the Great Ten Battle Clans. He himself was an extremely powerful supreme Big Saint.

Being able to reach Fengshan Platform was enough to prove Tuo Chenghai’s extraordinary strength.

However, he was asking for trouble by provoking Lin Xun.

Bam!

Lin Xun threw a ferocious slap at Tuo Chenghai’s face, causing the latter to stagger back. His cheeks were red and swollen, and blood dripped from the corner of his lips.

“You…” Tuo Chenghai was so enraged that his eyes bulged. He attacked with all his might.

Bam!

But in just a few breaths, he received another slap. His entire face was swollen like a pig’s head, and his hair was disheveled. He had been completely disfigured.

“I’ll kill you!” Tuo Chenghai went berserk.

Lin Xun indifferently said, “Don’t misunderstand, it’s not a life-or-death fight for revenge, it’s just a sparring match. Don’t be so angry, what if you pass out from anger?”

A’hu snorted out a laugh.

Tang Su, on the other hand, exclaimed in approval, “Now I finally dare to be sure that you really killed Xu Lingkun. Otherwise, how could you reduce this fellow Tuo Chenghai into this state?”

“Lin Xun, please show mercy,” someone pleaded for Tuo Chenghai as they couldn’t bear to see how miserable he was anymore.

“Alright.” Lin Xun nodded and immediately stopped. “It’s a pity, though. I thought he was an unrivaled expert, but as it turns out… Heh.”

This ‘heh’ was comparable to the world’s most contemptuous, sarcastic remark. It triggered Tuo Chenghai to the point his face turned livid and his teeth gritted.

But in the end, he was stopped by the others.

If the fight went on, then this farce would really become a life-or-death battle where Tuo Chenghai was destined to follow Xu Lingkun’s footsteps!

Now, no one dared to provoke Lin Xun anymore.

Many people secretly kept their guard up. Lin Xun was not only powerful, but the way he acted was also incredibly reckless. He would start a fight without scruples if someone said one wrong word.

This kind of person was actually the most dangerous!

“I just noticed now that they said you even killed a great beauty like Wen Qingxue? Best that I don’t spar with you, because what if I can’t beat you and you kill me too?” sighed Tang Su.

Lin Xun’s power made her long for a battle, but she also had to weigh the consequences, so she inwardly felt sad for the missed opportunity.

A’hu pursed her lips and chuckled. “What did I just say? When they hear about what happened to Wen Qingxue, all the fairies on Ancient Nebula Road will avoid you like a plague. Tang Su just proved me right.”

Lin Xun smiled bitterly.

Buzz~

Suddenly, a strange dao sound echoed around the area.

All the minds present trembled in unison, and they all looked up at the boundless universe above.

There they saw one of the stars bursting with a brilliant golden glow. A beam fell upon Fengshan Platform and bathed Zhuanyu Heng’s tall figure in it.
