The Prodigies War

Lin Xun had a token from Blade Emperor Qingyang on him, but it was useless at this point.

Yu Yunhe was the son of the Yu Clan’s patriarch, but even he hadn’t been able to stop Yu Yunzheng’s group, so the token was destined to be of little use.

The purpose of Lin Xun coming here was to meet an old acquaintance, who was precisely Blade Emperor Qingyang, to find out about some things.

But obviously, he couldn’t even leave now if he wanted to.

The only thing that surprised him was the fact that Yu Yunhe hadn’t hesitated at all to stand in front of him and protect him in this tense situation.

It touched his heart a little.

At the same time, Yu Yunzheng’s group was also caught off guard, scared that they would hurt Yu Yunhe if they attacked Lin Xun.

What’s wrong with the fool? Why is he risking his life for the sake of an outsider?

The scene froze into a deadlock.

“Brother Lin, I’m sure my father and the other elders won’t tolerate this kind of thing if they knew about it.” Yu Yunhe felt guilty.

He believed that he had gotten Lin Xun involved in his mess.

“Your father…?” Lin Xun’s eyes flickered. “Perhaps so, Young Master Yu. Like you, I was once the next in line for the position of my clan’s leader and was targeted by my clansmen from the side branches. Many of them even wanted to kill me... Do you know what I did?”

Yu Yunhe was stunned.

Not waiting for an answer, Lin Xun continued, “I killed them, as that was the only way to establish my authority and clear the obstacles blocking my way.”

Yu Yunhe gasped, his expression complicated.

Lin Xun was indifferent. “Of course, since your clan prohibits the members from killing each other, there are only two paths left for you to choose from.”

Yu Yunhe couldn’t help but ask, “What are they?”

Lin Xun replied, “The first option is to give up that position and leave now.”

The moment these words dropped, the expressions of Yu Yunzheng’s group flickered. If that was the case, then they really wouldn’t have to rack their brains and go to the trouble to target Yu Yunhe.

Meanwhile, Yu Yunhe’s face had clouded over as he experienced an inner struggle.

Only after a long time did he take a deep breath and say, “I have always been treated as a useless idiot, being constantly shamed and criticized. All of that has been a bitter pill to swallow, and I don’t want to have to taste it anymore.”

Saying that, he revealed a look of determination as he looked at Yu Yunzheng’s group and gritted his teeth. “Look at them. They are my clansmen, yet they are completely disregarding me. They even want to block this mountain gate!”

There was endless anger in his voice. “If I let the position of the clan’s future leader fall into their hands, then I will never forgive myself!”

Hearing this, the faces of Yu Yunzheng’s group darkened.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, smiled. “That leaves you with only one option.”

He waved his sleeve.

Yu Yunhe, who was standing in front of him, was wrapped by an ineluctable force that pulled him to the side.

“Brother Lin, you…” Yu Yunhe was stunned.

“Don’t you see, they won’t let an evil criminal like me leave, so I may as well take this opportunity to help you clear some obstacles!” Lin Xun concluded with a faint smile, “Look after Nan Qiu for me.”

“That’s some big words,” snorted Yu Yunzheng, who then shouted his order. “Attack!”

Boom!

The Yu Clan experts that had long been waiting immediately jumped into action.

“Attack!”

“Execute him!”

Their shouts thundered through the ten directions.

This group of experts were obviously carefully arranged by Yu Yunzheng, led by nine Saint-Kings with the rest being supreme Big Saints.

As soon as they struck out, the whole area trembled and dimmed.

Yu Yunlong couldn’t help but say, “Old Third, isn’t it a bit of an overkill to use this lineup on a mere supreme Big Saint?”

“We must succeed at one stroke, so there’s no room for slip-ups,” said Yu Yunzheng expressionlessly. “Don’t forget that this bastard killed two Saint-King elders of the Yunyan Breeze Sect. He must not be underestimated.”

The Yu Clan experts participating in this were all their supporters.

As a matter of fact, in an ancient clan like the Yu Clan, every young leading figure would have their own affiliated force, and it was by virtue of these supporters that they could compete for authority in their clan.

A person like Yu Yunzheng had quite a sizable support within the clan. On top of that, he even sought to marry Lan Caiyi in order to gain powerful external support and further expand his own force.

The sole purpose was to compete for the position of the next clan head!

This was also the case for the other young clansmen here.

Yu Yunyan, clad in a fiery red dress, snorted in contempt, “I’d actually like to see how he, a supreme Big Saint, can kill a Saint-King.”

Even now, she still refused to believe that such a ridiculous thing could be possible in this world.

There were more than a few people present who shared the same thought.

……

While they chatted, the battle had long since erupted.

Boom!

There were blinding rains of light as the treasures exploded with might.

How horrifying was it when a group of Saint-Kings attacked together?

Law Power crisscrossed in the whole sky, transforming into phenomena so matchless and brilliant that they drowned out heaven and earth.

Any other supreme Big Saint would have been scared to death when faced with this.

Lin Xun, however, did not retreat and instead even headed straight into the bombardment.

He looked nimble and ethereal with dao light streaming around him. As he wielded the Abi Sword with one hand and the Yuantu Sword with the other, his qi boiled and rumbled like a chaotic furnace.

Even in the fight with Ma Taizhen, Lin Xun had been able to suppress the other party without resorting to any treasure.

When he had subdued Saint-Kings Wei Chong and Chai Feng, he had only used the Broken Blade to conclude the battle in just moments.

Now that Lin Xun was using both the Abi and Yuantu Swords, it was obvious that he had no intention to hold back from the very start!

“Slash!”

A silver dao sword speedily approached while enacting the Law Power of a Dao Field. It was as if a boundless canopy was dropping down in the form of dense, clanging sword qi.

Lin Xun swung the Abi Sword, which seemed to reflect hell on earth as it collided with the sword qi canopy with a deafening noise and tore the latter apart.

Clang!

The silver dao sword was knocked flying and exploded to pieces in the air.

The Saint-King who controlled it instantly coughed up blood with a horrified expression. However, before he could react, the Abi Sword came crashing down on him like an opening door to hell.

Poof!

Blood splashed in a waterfall.

This Saint-King of the Imperial Yu Clan died at once, his corpse turning into ashes after being swept at by the Abi Sword.

There was a commotion in the area as shocked cries rang out.

The Yu Clan youngsters who had been extremely skeptical of Lin Xun’s combat power all froze and gawked in disbelief.

He killed a Saint-King with a single strike?

Yu Yunzheng gasped. Since he hadn’t witnessed with his own eyes how Lin Xun had killed Wei Chong and Chai Feng, he had also been one of the skeptics.

But now, it seemed that the rumor was true!

This fellow who had appeared out of nowhere actually possessed heaven-defying power, capable of killing Saint-Kings at a lower cultivation power!

Rumble~

The battle still went on with Lin Xun shuttling left and right, back and forth. His two swords surging with auras that covered the sky, and his momentum was unstoppable.

Poof poof poof…

Under his matchless sword qi, every Big Saint opponent in the way received an immediate death like a chicken being slaughtered. Their heads rolled down with scarlet blood flying.

The sight was shockingly gory!

“NOOO!”

Only a few moments had passed when another Saint-King let out a horrified shriek, and then, he was split in half from head to toe.

His horrifying death sent chills down everyone’s spine.

“How is this possible?”

“How…can he…he…”

“Bastard!”

In front of the mountain gate, Yu Yunzheng, Yu Yunlong, and the rest of the Yu Clan’s youngsters could no longer maintain composure as their faces all changed color.

They had thought assembling such a lineup just to deal with Lin Xun was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Only now did they finally deeply realize how terrifying he was.

It was already impressive that a supreme Big Saint was able to fight against Saint-Kings in spite of the whole one-stage gap in cultivation.

Not only did Lin Xun manage to do this, but he had also made the two Saint-Kings, who had mastered their Great Dao Field power, look weak by killing them in a crushing fashion.

Their deaths were nothing less than a great terror that enveloped the hearts of Yu Yunzheng’s group.

They shivered uncontrollably while being rooted on the spot in shock like clay statues.

They had truly not expected this, at all!

The region quaked as a ceaseless rain of blood dyed the entire field. Cries of misery, terror, and despair echoed one after another.

At the moment, Lin Xun was domineering and invincible. His peerlessness became the only accent in this heaven and earth.

Yu Yunhe’s lips trembled as he opened his mouth, trying to say something.

Nan Qiu said quietly, “In our tribe, there is an ancient saying, ‘The road to supreme power is shrouded with blood and paved with corpses.’ Brother Lin is helping you. If you try to stop him now, you will only let him down immensely.”

Yu Yunhe was stunned into silence.

Boom!

A shocking tremor ran through the battlefield.

The breastplate of a Saint-King was shattered, followed by his entire body being crushed into a gory mess by Lin Xun’s unrivaled sword qi.

The battle had only just started, but this was already the fifth Saint-King that had been put to death!

Yu Yunzheng’s crowd had completely lost their minds, their emotions spiraling out of control. They were a group of ants in a hot pan, utterly terrified and confused.

This place was the main entrance of their Yu Clan.

But now, it had become a stage of endless bloodshed and deaths!

“Quick, go call the seniors!” roared Yu Yunzheng.

The situation had reached a point of extreme severity. If they did nothing to stop it, then the tragic consequences would be as good as their doom even if they all survived Lin Xun's killing in the end.

Soon after, however, someone reported back in panic, “Someone activated the protective formation on the mountain! It’s impossible to transmit messages back to the clan.”

“What?!”

The news was like a bolt from the blue, striking Yu Yunzheng’s group dumb.

How could this happen?

Why has the Clan Protective Formation been turned on?! Why can’t any messages be sent back?!

The distant field rumbled as the bloody battle carried on, but the number of enemies surrounding Lin Xun had steadily decreased.

The ground was riddled with pools of blood and quite a number of corpses!

“Retreat to the gate! The seniors won’t sit by and watch us getting killed by an outsider!” screamed Yu Yunzheng with bulging eyes.

He took the lead and went toward the main gate. The others, who had long been disoriented by shock, hastily followed suit.

Even the experts fighting Lin Xun panicked and fled from the battle in fear, not daring to confront him any longer.

“Do you want me to go after them?” Lin Xun’s eyes were bottomless as he turned to Yu Yunhe in the distance.

At his feet was a river of blood and piles of corpses. Bright red beads of blood trickled down from the Abi and Yuantu Swords.

He was like a demonic god dominating the human world!
