The Prodigies War

The cry of a blade rippled through the air like wind and thunder as Lin Xun disappeared from the spot.

Plop!

A scholarly middle-aged man suddenly felt a chill at his chest and lowered his head to look, only to find that a bloody hole had appeared at some unknown time.

“You…” The sneer on his face froze as his pupils expanded. He seemed to want to say something, but no longer had any chance to as he fell to the ground and died.

Rumble!

At another corner, one of the higher-ups, who was drinking from his winecup, suddenly widened his eyes in horror. He had seen a hornless ice dragon made from ice and snow coiling its body in the air as it stared at him with indifferent eyes.

“NO—!” Before he could react, his body was smashed to pieces by a claw, causing flesh and blood to splatter everywhere.

“The little doggy has even drawn his blade, does he actually dare to…”

Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman was in the middle of making a sarcastic remark about Lin Xun when what felt like an ancient barbarian bull suddenly rammed into her, shattering her bones and causing an explosion of flesh and blood, instantly killing her.

He had used Bixi Collision, which could shake a mountain with a single charge!

“Something’s wrong…”

A frowning elderly man, who was deep in thought, failed to see a Bi’an phantasm appear from a simple palm imprint above him. It crushed down with dreadful force, smashing him into a bloody pulp.

All of these events happened in an instant as if several powerful experts had prepared in advance to strike at the same moment.

However, the truth was that it had all been done by Lin Xun!

His current cultivation stage and power made him a supreme and near-invincible existence in the Heaven Ascension stage.

There was no lack of Heaven Ascension experts among the higher-ups present. Although they might be influential and powerful figures in the three branch clans, their combat power was inferior to the saints and saintesses from the Spirit Burial Sea. To Lin Xun, they were no different from wild chickens and dogs, so he naturally did not fear any of them at all!

……

Screams and cries of alarm rang out in the hall.

The place had become a mess with scattered documents, shattered lamps and cups, collapsed walls, and cracked and blood-stained ground. It was as if a storm had passed through and ravaged the place.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. The events had occurred so quickly that many of the higher-ups had yet to react even until now.

Who could have imagined that Lin Xun would actually take action?

It was simple, straightforward, and screamed my way or the highway!

“You dare—”

Lin Tianlong roared as he drew an azure copper sword and charged.

Lin Xun casually thrust his palm, sending out a wave of terrifying force. Lin Tianlong was brutally knocked away before he could approach, causing him to spew blood from his nose and mouth.

With a single strike, the mighty West Creek Lin Clan Head, who was also an older-generation Heaven Ascension expert, was sent flying without any resistance like a pathetic clown.

Lin Tianlong was in shock as it finally dawned upon him that Lin Xun had not foolishly come alone to die. He had come because he was completely unafraid of them!

However, it had only been half a year since they last met. How had the Spirit Sea stage youngster become so terrifying?

The other higher-ups’ expressions also changed as realization also dawned upon them, causing them to fall into a state of panic.

Most of the three branch clan forces were gathered in this location, and it was basically their strongest possible line-up.

Despite this, Lin Xun had easily killed six or seven people in an instant. Moreover, even an expert like Lin Tianlong had been effortlessly knocked away…

It was horrifying!

How could he be so powerful?

This question rang in everyone’s head as they struggled to accept reality. It had only been half a year, but he had already grown to such a logic-defying level. If he were given more time, even the Forbidden City would likely be unable to contain him!

“Attack together and kill him!”

The Cloud Weight Lin Clan Head, Lin Nianshan, furiously roared. He had sensed that numerous people had been intimidated by Lin Xun, and things would only become worse if this continued.

Only by gathering all of their strength would they be able to stop his momentum and have a chance at turning the tables!

A spurt of energy would eventually run out. Lin Nianshan did not believe that Lin Xun could keep this up for long.

Rumble!

Numerous higher-ups rallied around Lin Nianshan and spread out to surround Lin Xun.

For a time, various secret arts and weapons zipped through the air, creating a gorgeous sight of streaming lights and terrifying undulations that quickly destroyed the rest of the hall.

Lin Xun’s black eyes remained as tranquil as a lake. In the face of the barrage, he did not even glance away as he activated ‘Baxia Imprisonment’.

Rumble!

A dreadful pressure instantly covered the area and turned into a restriction that locked all of the higher-ups in the air.

From a distance, they looked like fish frozen in a layer of ice, unable to move even an inch.

The strange scene made the scalps of several higher-ups in the distance turn numb as a chill filled their insides. What was this terrifying secret art?

Plop plop plop plop!

Before they could return to their senses, Lin Xun lightly swung the Broken Blade, causing several heads to be severed from their bodies.

Only then did the headless corpses fall to the ground, leaving them lying in growing pools of their own blood.

Only Lin Nianshan survived, although it was only because he seemed to have been spared by Lin Xun.

The sight of the heads rolling across the ground made Lin Nianshan’s eyes bulge in fear and anger as veins throbbed on his forehead. It nearly shattered him internally.

Too frightening!

Life and death had been decided in the blink of an eye. They had originally intended to stop Lin Xun’s momentum. Who could have expected that even their barrage of attacks would be easily brushed aside by him?

The thought of how close he had been to death at that moment absolutely terrified Lin Nianshan, causing his expression to turn exceedingly ugly.

“He’s just one person, and he’s even a youngster, so he…how can he be so strong?” His entire body trembled, unable to accept what had just transpired.

In the meantime, Lin Xun used the opportunity to take down another four or five people. Almost all of them were killed in a single, simple, and direct strike as if he was merely harvesting wheat. There was basically no resistance from start to end.

His overwhelming and unstoppable might greatly intimidated everyone present!

The most terrifying part was that Lin Xun looked completely calm and composed even at this juncture. Not a single speck of blood or dirt could be seen on his clothes as if he was a superior existence that could not be touched by this world.

However, still-warm corpses lay in pools of their own blood at his feet!

The Scarlet Eagle King merely watched. This was Lin Xun’s family affair, and it had been forbidden from interfering. Hence why it could only watch as the battle unfurled.

Although it had already personally tasted Lin Xun’s terrifying combat power, the scenes still caused the Scarlet Eagle King’s heart to surge in its chest, making it unable to remain calm.

It finally understood why the many races and clans so deeply yearned and revered the ‘supreme path’ in the ancient era.

Those who could attain this stage were definitely kings even among the heaven prides. They were suns whose rays could reach across every era!

It was the strongest path, and it was said that only these supreme heaven prides could suppress entire cultivation stages and reign supreme among their peers!

Lin Xun was undoubtedly supreme in the Heaven Ascension stage. He was a king of this cultivation stage and a living legend!

“Who could have imagined that this mere teenager would be a king of the Heaven Ascension and a supreme heaven pride?”

The Scarlet Eagle King grew increasingly excited and awed.

At the same time, it was also filled with pity toward the branch clan higher-ups. What a pitiful group of toads stuck at the bottom of the well. It was laughable how ignorant they were about the outside world.

It was only a matter of time before someone like Master displayed his brilliance in the great dao struggle. Moreover, his future potential was limitless.

However, instead of grasping the opportunity to protect the Master, they instead viewed him as their enemy due to some laughable power struggle. Wasn’t it such a joke?

“You guys had the best chance right in front of you but you were all blind to it. Hehe, how absurd…”

The Scarlet Eagle King inwardly sneered.

The killing was still ongoing. Lin Xun seemed to have turned into a merciless executioner as he swept through the place like a whirlwind.

There was blood everywhere, the shocking red making it seem as if the place was a slaughter hell.

If outsiders were to find out, their expressions would definitely change. These were members of the Lin Clan! Even if they were from the branch clan, the Lin blood still flowed in their veins.

However, Lin Xun looked as if he was going to massacre them all. If word of this spread, he would definitely be called a ‘kin-killer’!

Lin Xun did not care.

For the Lin Clan’s future, he needed to do a proper clean-up of the clan. He would not tolerate a repeat of the bloody affair from more than a dozen years ago!

Traitors needed to be dealt with in the harshest of manners.

In Lin Xun’s eyes, the West Creek, Cloud Weight, and Flying Peak branch clans were now traitors.

More than a dozen years ago, they had collaborated with outside factions and divvied up the Lin Clan’s assets. Despite this, Lin Xun had been willing to give them a chance to repent and gave them three years to consider his proposal.

In the end, however, they had not valued the chance he had given them and instead chose to be Zuo Clan’s and Qin Clan’s cronies rather than submit and return to Mind Cleansing Peak.

It was something Lin Xun absolutely would not tolerate!

“Stop! We surrender…”

Lin Tianlong sorrowfully roared. His entire body was trembling, unable to control his emotions as his heart bled inside.

The people gathered tonight were the higher-ups of the three branch clans. However, they were being chopped up like vegetables, and more than half of them had already perished. It was definitely an unbearable blow to anyone.

Lin Tianlong could no longer watch. Their losses were too great, and it would likely be difficult for them to even survive in the Forbidden City after this.

At the same time, despair also began to well up in his heart.

Half a year ago, the Spirit Sea stage Lin Xun oppressively suppressed them. Now, he had become even more terrifying and powerful. Would there be any chance for the three branch clans to even breathe in the future?

“I gave you guys three years to think about it and you’re only regretting it now? It’s too late!”

Lin Xun’s black eyes were ice-cold as his calm voice rang out with a sense of unwavering resolve. His heart was overflowing with hatred, and he had yet to release all of his anger. No matter who came tonight, no one would be able to stop this reckoning!
