The Prodigies War-Novel

“I’m going to kill you!” Zheng Chi roared as he swung up a shiningly sharp halberd to kill Lin Xun.

“That halberd isn’t bad. I’ll take it as an offering from you.”

As Lin Xun performed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, he balled his hands into fists and combined four of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art into the power of the punch.

Bang!

The giant halberd buzzed and vibrated before it erupted in a blaze of light.

The youth’s fierce power astonished the audience.

“Die!” Zheng Chi thundered, his long hair whipping in the air. He was truly enraged and had decided to destroy Lin Xun.

The wind raged, and the battle was ear-piercing and full of thrilling changes. The shockwaves swept out in all directions.

The youth had to be quite powerful to be able to force Zheng Chi to show his true powers.

Ling Zinuo, Yun Ke, Tie Qianhan and the others intently watched the battle in different directions from each other.

However, after dozens of clashes, Lin Xun suddenly unleashed a blinding glow of light, and the power of his punch skyrocketed. The giant halberd blasted across the air with a boom, and Lin Xun’s fist slammed into Zheng Chi’s chest with unstoppable force.

Boom!

Zheng Chi violently coughed up blood as he flew across the air. He looked down at his chest only to see a terrifying fist mark gushing with blood and his chest protection plate buzzing.

The chest protection plate had helped him to lessen the impact of the punch. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot with his heart crushed.

The audience gasped in horror.

They couldn’t imagine a youth could be so fierce and powerful to be able to single-handedly defeat a powerful figure such as Zheng Chi.

Even the genius cultivators watching from afar couldn’t help but narrow their eyes like they had just seen a new side of Lin Xun.

Shua!

Lin Xun didn’t stop and continued to charge toward Zheng Chi.

“Die!”

A gush of sword qi appeared out of thin air, piercing straight toward Lin Xun’s back with chilling fierceness.

Another genius cultivator had acted. Dressed in a blue robe and wielding a white jade sword, he exuded an elegant demeanor, but he was a terrifying swordsman.

Boom!

Lin Xun flicked his sleeve, launching a blast of powerful wind to break the sword qi.

That moment of disturbance allowed Zheng Chi to escape from the arena under the protection of guards and subordinates.

“The descendants of the high and mighty ancient sects only know how to do sneak attacks.”

Lin Xun’s eyes flashed with lightning as he coldly scanned the blue-robed youngster.

Boom!

His figure vanished from the spot. He charged forward with lightning speed and punched out.

Lin Xun resembled a fiendish god with his black hair whipping in the air and qi raging around him like a storm. His body was like an abyss that was about to engulf the mountains and rivers.

The blue-robed youngster was also a remarkable figure. His name was He Donglin and was famed for his sword skills.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the blue-robed youngster had been beaten to the point of coughing up blood after only a few dozen moves. He repeatedly drew back, unable to counterattack.

Gasps of shock rippled throughout the audience.

“The young man is so strong. It was already unbelievable that he could defeat Zheng Chi with his bare hands, but now he is suppressing He Donglin!”

“Who is he?”

The eyes of Ling Zinuo, Tie Qianhan, Yun Ke, Yuan Zhan, Bai Yu and Lu Ping, the genius cultivators, all flickered with puzzlement.

They didn’t recognize Lin Xun as they had never met him before. They had only seen him today with Lian Dieyi.

However, it was clear that Lian Dieyi had only treated him as a scapegoat.

That made them all think that he was an insignificant character, and, at best, only cannon fodder for Lian Dieyi.

Who would have thought that the young man was a hidden master? With just his bare hands, he defeated Zheng Chi and suppressed He Donglin.

Based on that fact alone, the young man was extraordinary and not inferior to any of them.

But who is he?

Why have we never heard of him before?

This isn’t bad. It’s good to use his hands to eliminate some opponents so it would be easier to compete for Luohou's secret treasure.

A thought had struck Yun Ke’s mind. He decided to watch and do nothing.

Not only him, but other people also had a similar idea. Zheng Chi had been severely woundedm and He Donglin was on the verge of defeat.

Lin Xun’s performance might be astonishing but he was doing them a favor by eliminating some of the competition for them.

Die!

He Donglin’s face was livid. He was going berserk from humiliation and shame after being suppressed by Lin Xun under watchful eyes.

His sword qi smashed through the layers of clouds like a mighty waterfall. He had activated an ancient sword scripture.

Boom!

Lin Xun whizzed across the sky like a fiendish god. He displayed the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art to its full majesty. For the first time, he threw out a punch that combined the power of five heaven-destructions.

He integrated the mountain smashing destruction, sea splitting destruction, emptiness destruction, soul-shattering destruction and dragon destruction, which produced countless splendid spectacles in the sky.

The power of the punch was too terrifying. It stunned the entire audience and made many cultivators tremble uneasily.

What kind of fist art is that? What ancient Daoist sect is it from?

Some Heaven Ascension cultivators’ countenances visibly changed. They could tell that the fist art was a remarkable inheritance based on its power alone.

The kid has to have an extraordinary background.

Rumble—

The sword qi that pervaded the sky crumbled into a shower of light. It was impossible to stop it like shattering glass.

He Donglin couldn’t help but scream in agony. He flashed to one side to dodge, but the power of the fist had enveloped all directions, making it impossible to avoid it.

In the end, the power of the fist crushed him, breaking his bones and tearing his skin. He screamed again as he was blasted dozens of meters across the air and almost lost his life.

“Young Master!”

Subordinates and guards rushed forward and caught He Donglin. Their faces reddened in anger and shock.

“The little junior has a death wish!” roared a Heaven Ascension cultivator. He was a subordinate of He Donglin. How would he show no reaction to his defeat?

“Friend, this is a showdown for Luohou's secret treasure. Let the youngsters settle it between themselves. We shouldn’t interfere.”

Suddenly, an imposing and mighty voice rang out. Everyone recognized it was from a renowned Heaven Ascension cultivator of Cloud Jade Sky Mountain.

“Yes, if they lose, they lose. If you want to get revenge, you will have to wait until the ownership of Luohou's secret treasure is decided.”

Other Heaven Ascension cultivators expressed their opinions, which made the Heaven Ascension subordinate to He Donglin frown. But he restrained himself from saying anything in the end.

Everyone could tell that the Heaven Ascension cultivators spoke up not to help Lin Xun but to prevent the showdown from being ruined so that the descendants of their respective sects could seize the opportunity to obtain Luohou's secret treasure.

It’s over for the kid. Even if he has superior strength, he can’t defeat so many cultivators by himself. Also, with so many Heaven Ascension cultivators watching him, how can he leave this place alive?

Many people sighed emotionally.

Lin Xun stood alone on the battlefield, his jet-black eyes flashing like lightning. How would he not know about his situation?

However, he was unafraid.

He could feel a burning fire of anger inside him that he needed to vent.

“Who else wants to try? Or, how about you all attack together?!”

Lin Xun swept a glance over everyone. Even if he was alone and unarmed, his graceful figure exuded immeasurable power as he stood tall in the air.

His fearlessness amazed many people. Among his peers, very few people could compare him based on courage alone.

“Friend, you are alone. Don’t tell me you want to challenge us all?”

Lu Ping strode forward with an indifferent expression.

“Who are you? Are you worthy of being my friend?” Lin Xun snorted disdainfully.

“State your name! I don’t kill the nameless.”

Lu Ping’s face darkened and his imposing bearing soared to a frightening level.

“I already told you that you are not worthy.”

Lin Xun stared at him while a tremendous aura spread out from his body and caused the air to whimper.

His voice and mannerism were filled with confidence and fearlessness.

“Die!” Lu Ping thundered.

He couldn’t stand Lin Xun any longer. He sped forward and summoned a fiery-red iron hook to his hand.

Rumble—

The battle resumed and was as equally fierce and terrifying as before.

The fiery-red iron hook slashed through the air, stirring the clouds and air. It was an ancient secret art known for its erratic and sly movements.

Lu Ping was no doubt very strong. As the descendant of the Thousand Monster-Beast Palace, he was much stronger than He Donglin and Zheng Chi. Otherwise, how would he dare to stand forward and fight against Lin Xun?

Unfortunately, his opponent was Lin Xun.

Boom!

After a moment, Lin Xun’s eyes were cold as lightning, his feet spread out and a Hornless Ice Dragon soared into the sky. Clouds and mists submerged the entire area.

At the same time, he raised his blazing fist, meeting the fiery-red iron hook head-on. Fist power circulated before it erupted in a blaze of azure light.

Lu Ping violently coughed up blood and tottered side to side. The audience was shocked to see that even he was no match for the youngster.

Chi!

However, while Lu Ping was dodging the attacks, a crimson hook sped out with incredible speed and pierced Lin Xun’s protection force.

It was Lu Ping’s scorpion tail.

The silver armor scorpion tail was capable of destroying a cultivator’s spirit if struck.

Lu Ping was from the Thousand Monster-Beast Palace, and he was a three-tailed silver armored scorpion monster-beast cultivator. He had launched the scorpion tail attack at the risk of his life.

Lin Xun was also surprised, but he didn’t panic. The Origin Aeth Artery glowed in his chest, releasing a sacred aura that transformed into a storm vortex of terrifying power that distorted the void.

Kacha—

Under horrified gazes, the vortex crushed the sharpest scorpion tail before it could penetrate Lin Xun’s body.

Ah!

Lu Ping screamed in agony. The tail was part of his body, and there was no hope of repairing it.

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun’s fist came crashing down. Lu Ping’s head exploded with a boom and he died an instantaneous death.

The audience fell utterly silent.

The first cultivator to die in the battle was a dazzling genius of Thousand Monster-Beast Palace.

A youngster had slaughtered him through brutal means.

The entire Thousand Monster-Beast Palace would be outraged if the incident was reported back. The loss of a genius would be a heavy blow to the sect.

Even Ling Zinuo, Tie Qianhan, and the other genius cultivators were aghast. They assumed solemn expressions. A fierce character as strong as them had died.
