The Prodigies War-Novel

Zuo Baoying’s arrival stunned everyone in the audience, including Lin Zhong, Xiaoke and Third Old Zhu. They all rushed out of the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion with solemn expressions.

Qin Xuandu and Zuo Baoying were unquestionably stronger than Lin Xixi and were considered leading figures at the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

In other parts of the empire, cultivators of their levels could occupy a territory and be called kings!

But now, two great cultivators had come to deal with Lin Xun together. Evidently, the Zuo and Qin Clans had no intention of giving Lin Xun a way out.

What was a thunderous blow?

That was! Their move was enough to fill a cultivator with despair!

The terror and solid foundation of the high clans were being vividly demonstrated.

However, a few people responded strangely to the situation.

Prince Yunyong, Zhao Xu, still seemed unconcerned about everything happening around him like an old monk in deep meditation.

Zhao Tailai stood with his hands behind his back, gazing dazedly at the distant sky. His expression had stayed so calm this entire time such that there wasn’t even the slightest ripple.

As for Lin Xun, he appeared very indifferent. His dark eyes swept over Qin Xuandu before sizing up Zuo Baoying, and he finally said with a smile. “Is it just the two of you? I still don’t think it will be enough.”

Everyone’s jaw dropped. Is Lin the Brave crazy? They are great cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage! And there are two of them!

What does he mean by they ‘won’t be enough?!’

How arrogant is he to say something that offensive?

Frowning, Qin Xuandu ran his eyes across Zhao Tailai, Third Old Zhu and Lin Zhong. “I can deal with you by myself, but if we are dealing with all of you, it will indeed be a bit difficult for just the two of us.”

He smirked. “But don’t you worry! If the Qin and Zuo Clans only have two Cyclic Derivation cultivators, they wouldn’t be regarded as high clans in the empire!”

“Haha.” Zuo Baoying gave an unfathomable smile.

Everyone else palpitated. Could the Zuo and Qin Clans have sent more people?

As expected, sharp cracks of thunder pierced the air and figures descended one after another like dazzling rainbows streaking across the sky.

There were men and women, each with a different outward appearance, but their auras were all interlinked with the heavens, displaying their different powers and imposing bearing.

“One, two, three...heavens! There are four more Cyclic Derivation cultivators!”

The spies gasped, and their blood ran cold. Only then did they realize they had underestimated the ability and power of the high clans!

Lin Zhong and the others also lost their composure. Their faces became overcast. The grave situation had exceeded their predictions.

Qin Xuandu suddenly smiled. “I originally thought that we wouldn’t need to mobilize so many people to just deal with you, but it turns out we had to.”

“Oh? Why is that?” asked Lin Xun.

“It’s very simple. We need to show our strength and kill you to warn the others!” A look of disdain crossed Qin Xuandu’s face. “Many years have passed. The world seems to have forgotten the power of a high clan. This will slap senses into the people and make them realize that there are clans in the world that won’t tolerate provocation and insult!”

His gaze shifted back to Lin Xun. “This is the reason why we mobilized so many people. If we can use your death to intimidate the world and make them learn to respect and look up to the high clans again, then your death will be worth it.”

His bold words made Lin Zhong’s heart sink to the bottom of his chest. He realized that the Zuo and Qin Clans wanted to kill Lin Xun at all costs to warn the world!

Only Lin Xun’s death could serve the purpose of intimating the world!

The spies from all the major clans were chilled to the core. Only now did they finally realize the terror of the high clans.

The atmosphere became tense and still. While everyone was paralyzed with shock, Zhao Tailai impatiently turned to Lin Xun and asked, “Why are you listening to their nonsense? If you can’t resolve this, then how about I help you?”

Whoa!

His words stunned everyone. Does that person not see the terrifying situation before him? How dare he say such words?!

The corners of Qin Xuandu’s lips twitched imperceptibly as he scrunched his brows. He couldn’t understand why the owner of the Sky Martial Arena would be so arrogant.

Does he think he is from the imperial family? How dare he disregard the power of the Qin and Zuo clans?!

“Young Master!” Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu turned to Lin Xun, their faces bore a look of determination. They wanted to tell him that they were willing to fight alongside him.

“No need, leave this matter to me. They want to kill me to warn the others, and I am doing this to make everyone know that the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan won’t tolerate any insult or contempt. Anyone who dares to bully us must pay the price in blood!”

To everyone’s disbelief, Lin Xun refused all help. His calm and indifferent expression was replaced by unprecedented contempt and determination.

He…

The spies found Lin Xun more and more crazy. He is still acting so tough at such a time?

Lin Zhong and the others were filled with panic, but Zhao Tailai couldn’t help chuckling out loud, “Good, let’s see how much you have grown in the past six months!”

Qin Xuandu, Zuo Baoying and the four Cyclic Derivation cultivators found the situation both ridiculous and irritating.

It seemed that the world had indeed forgotten the terror of the high clans. Even a nobody dared to speak so arrogantly in front of them.

“Uncle Zhong, bring me the Shattered Tragedy Spear. The spear needs to drink the blood of the enemy before it can become the treasured weapon of our Lin Clan. Only then can it live up to its name!” Lin Xun’s black eyes flashed a chilling glint as though an abyss was roaring in the depths. His demeanor instantly changed.

He was akin to a hidden sword revealing its unrivaled sharp edges!

“Young Master, catch!” Lin Zhong subconsciously handed the Shattered Tragedy Spear to Lin Xun.

Only then did it dawn on everyone that Lin Xun was serious!

He planned to face off against six Cyclic Derivation cultivators by himself!

The spies all quivered in the dark, unprecedented excitement fluttering in their hearts.

Disregarding everything else, the courage that Lin Xun demonstrated was shocking enough.

On the other hand, Qin Xuandu and Zuo Baoying laughed angrily. How absurd is this? Lin Xun is so crazy that he doesn’t realize the dangerous situation he is in!

“Since you are looking for death, we will fulfill your wish and use your blood to warn the world!” Qin Xuandu’s ice-cold voice was tinged with murderous intent, and a ruthless and chilling might replaced his immortal-like demeanor.

Boom!

An imposing aura surged out from his body like a thunderstorm and bolts of lightning shot from his eyes. He was like an awakened divine being, astonishing everyone with his powers.

Lin Xun’s robe billowed around him, and he soared into the air in the blink of an eye. His jet-black hair fluttered as looked down at Qin Xuandu and the others from a height. He then pointed the Shattered Tragedy Spear at them. “Come up to die!”

The youth stood tall and upright in the air, spear in his hand. His transcendent aura and extraordinary bearing wowed Lin Zhong and the others.

Even Prince Yunyong, who had been in a meditative state all along, couldn’t help twitching his eyelids and taking a glance.

“Hmph!” Qin Xuandu snorted in annoyance before he drifted upwards into the ninth heaven. The qi around his body dispersed the clouds in the way.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meanwhile, Zuo Baoying and the other four Cyclic Derivation cultivators also rose into the air, blocking the area from afar to prevent Lin Xun from escaping.

Clang!

The Shattered Tragedy Spear released a clear and resounding cry in the air as murderous intent flooded the area and obscure runes densely lit up on its surface. It transformed into a rune armament and shrouded Lin Xun.

It was a rune armament! A remarkable weapon that overshadowed any ancient treasures in the world with its unique and mysterious abilities!

“What a remarkable treasure!”

Many people exclaimed in amazement. Rune armaments were rare even among the high clans of the empire, so each one was considered a treasure of their clan.

The most frightening ability of such treasures was that they provided a cultivator with the power to fight someone of a higher cultivation stage!

“A teenager of the Heaven Ascension Stage wielding the Shattered Tragedy Spear. How many moves do you think he can withstand from Qin Xuandu?” Zuo Baoying asked softly, crossing her arms.

Someone responded, “Within ten moves, the match will be decided.”

Another disagreed, “No, I think three moves are enough. Brother Xuandu has been honing his Cyclic Derivation strength for years. His strength isn’t ordinary.”

The other four Cyclic Derivation experts analyzed the situation one after another. They had each occupied one side of the area, but they had no intention of making a move. They would be shamed if they bullied a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage together.

“I think this battle of life and death will come to an end within fifty moves.” Zuo Baoying smiled faintly.

The others frowned, thinking that she was overestimating Lin Xun’s ability. No matter how fierce a Heaven Ascension cultivator was, he would be no match for an expert at the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

Meanwhile, the spies thought about how long Lin Xun would survive once the battle broke out.

Everyone seemed to believe that Lin Xun would lose and that he had no hope of winning.

“Stop talking nonsense…” Zhao Tailai muttered to himself.

He couldn't wait to see how strong Lin Xun had become after six months in the Spirit Burial Sea.

Lin Zhong and the others fixed their eyes on the battlefield, faces contorting with nervous tension. The instant something went wrong, they were ready to rush out there to rescue Lin Xun.

Boom!

Without uttering a single word, Lin Xun charged across the air and raised his spear.
