The Prodigies War

“Lin Xun, you will pay for what you did today!”

“Your Lin Clan will also be struck off for this!”

Driven into a situation of despair, Qin Xuandu roared like crazy, making unrestrained threats.

The audience went dead silent, unable to remain calm.

Perhaps, Qin Xuandu was right. The death of so many Cyclic Derivation cultivators was a huge blow to the Zuo and Qin Clans.

But it was also a great humiliation!

The Zuo and Qin Clans wouldn’t leave the matter at that, whether it was for revenge or for washing away the shame. Otherwise, how could they keep a foothold in the Forbidden City in the future?

How could a mighty high clan, a well-respected behemoth in the world, endure such a heavy blow?

Unfortunately, the world might tremble at the undisguised threats, but not Lin Xun.

He stood tall in the sky, robe fluttering in the wind and the jet-black spear dripping with scarlet blood in his hand.

“In the face of death, you still dare to threaten me. The chest protection plate might have saved your life once, but let’s see if you can survive again!” Following his indifferent voice, the Shattered Tragedy Spear slashed upwards into the air and lunged forward.

Boom!

The surrounding space shattered where the spear passed. It advanced straight ahead, stopping at nothing.

The fierce and determined spear strike made everyone realize that Lin Xun didn’t care about the so-called threats.

“You…” Qin Xuandu’s eyes bulged wide with rage.

He wanted to fight with everything he had, but in that critical juncture of life and death, he retreated in embarrassment.

He knew very well that he was no match for Lin Xun. If he didn’t want to die, he had to retreat.

Many spectators’ countenances altered upon seeing a renowned Cyclic Derivation cultivator in the Forbidden City forced into a panic.

Before that, the proud and lofty Qin Xuandu regarded Lin Xun as meat on the chopping board, but now, his comrades had been slaughtered, and he had been forced to run away.

The stark difference was too shocking.

“Die!”

The black spear drew a sharp arc as it slashed through the air, aiming for Qin Xuandu’s throat like a ray of light.

Qin Xuandu’s face blanched. He couldn’t escape. All his escape routes were blocked!

However, he still couldn’t understand how Lin Xun wasn’t afraid of retaliation from the high clans. He might be strong enough to defeat and kill Cyclic Derivation experts, but was he not afraid of the brutal revenge from the top forces of the empire?

In this world, was there nothing that Lin Xun feared?

“Junior, how dare you!” a voice filled with cold indifference boomed out, causing the air to become turbulent and the world to shake.

The spies shuddered all over. They saw sparks fly before their eyes and felt so uncomfortable that they almost coughed up blood.

The voice of the great dao?

Everyone was aghast.

“Patriarch!” Qin Xuandu exclaimed in wild joy. To him, the voice was as heavenly as the sounds of nature like a ray of light in his hopeless situation.

However…

A bizarre, muffled noise followed by the cracking and snapping of bones swept away the gleam of joy and hope in his eyes. He froze.

Pu!

A jet of blood spurted out, warm with a kind of poignant beauty, staining the world before him a scarlet red shade.

He looked down to see that the spear had pierced his throat. Blood was jetting out from him…

“You…you…how dare you…” Qin Xuandu wanted to say something when his throat ruptured. He saw everything darkening before him as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Pu—

Lin Xun wrenched the spear out of his body, letting his corpse fall from the air.

Lin Xun had single-handedly killed all six Cyclic Derivation cultivators sent by the Zuo and Qin Clans! Not one of them managed to survive.

The remarkable feat would cause a sensation in the world. Anyone who witnessed the miracle-like performance above the Forbidden City would likely tremble in shock.

However, before the shock spread to everyone present, their gazes shifted in the same direction, at a more horrifying scene.

In the sky, an old man in a scholarly robe and with a dainty little ancient sword through his hair bun had appeared without anyone knowing.

Despite his slim figure, he had an overbearing presence. The heaven and earth seemed to be trembling as he stood tall like a king watching over the world from the nine heavens!

Qin Cangjia!

Anyone aware of the great forces in the Forbidden City would immediately recognize the old man. He was a patriarch-level Life Death Stage King from the Qin Clan!

He was called Qin Cangjia, and he had made a name for himself hundreds of years ago. The entire world knew about his mighty power, but he seldom appeared in public in recent years.

No one would have imagined that he, an illustrious Life Death Stage King, would take action against Lin Xun!

It was too unbelievable!

Everyone knew that Life Death Stage Kings were detached from worldly affairs. They were like divine beings, and no ordinary matters would catch their attention.

However, Qin Cangjia came!

Everyone was awed into silence.

Even some influential figures watching from various areas across the Forbidden City were shaken. Qin Cangjia actually came in person!?

How long has it been since such a major event happened in the Forbidden City?

The kid is in trouble now!

Everyone had the same thought.

No matter how splendid Lin Xun's previous feats and achievements were, he was doomed in the face of a Life Death Stage King. Perhaps, death was already waiting for him.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. Qin Cangjia’s appearance surprised him at first, but it then quickly intensified his murderous intent.

It seemed that the Qin Clan wouldn’t give up until Lin Xun was dead!

Lin Zhong and the others visibly tensed up and their blood ran cold. What should we do? A Life Death Stage King has appeared! Is it impossible to resolve this catastrophe today?

Qin Ziming crouched on the ground, between laughter and tears. His emotions felt like a rollercoaster ride. All his hopes had long been crushed, but now that Qin Cangjia had come, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Lin Xun! You are doomed!” he viciously roared in his heart.

Qin Cangjia ran his gaze across Qin Xuandu, Zuo Baoying and the other Cyclic Derivation experts before he looked at Lin Xun.

His expression was calm, so calm that there seemed to be a hint of coldness and detached indifference. When he looked at Lin Xun, there wasn’t a ripple of emotion on his face as if he was looking at a dead person.

However, he exuded an invisible power that oppressed the audience to the point of suffocation.

“A little remaining member of the Lin Clan dares to stir up a storm in the Forbidden City. I can’t let you stay in this world!” Qin Cangjia stated directly as though he was passing judgment on a prisoner.

He exuded an inviolable, sacred power. It was the majesty of a Life Death Stage King. Such existences stood at the pinnacle of the mountains and didn’t need any reason to kill a person.

Lin Zhong and the others turned ashen-faced.

The experts hiding in the dark sighed to themselves. So what if Lin Xun can defy the heavens? When a Life Death Stage King appears, all that is waiting for him is death!

Boom!

Qin Cangjia made a move, fierce and direct. I don’t care who you are and I don’t care what you think. I am going to kill you first and then talk!

A fair and blemish-free hand blotted the sky, glowing with the unfathomable brilliance of the great dao.

Then, it slammed down.

Rumble—

The space completely collapsed. Under the cover of the giant hand, everyone felt nothing but despair and panic.

But Lin Xun, who would be the first to bear the brunt, remained completely calm. In his palm seemed to be an illusory streak of silvery light quietly forming, and his eyes glinted with a hint of mockery.

But before Lin Xun could make a move, a disdainful voice boomed like thunder, “Ah, how impressive!”

The voice just sounded, but the world seemed to be turning upside down. A turbulent current of air roared while a storm of murderous intent raged.

When the voice faded, the giant jade-like hand shattered into glass-like fragments before vanishing from the air.

That…

The audience stared aghast at the scene. The attack of a Life Death Stage King was destroyed with one sentence!

Had anyone ever seen something as terrifying?

Only Prince Yunyong, Zhao Xu, seemed very calm like he had expected it to happen. The moment that Qin Cangjia showed up, he donned a look of pity, unlike the others whose faces were crossed with shock and disbelief.

He seemed to know that someone wouldn’t just watch and do nothing!

“Huh?” Qin Cangjia focused his eyes. It was the first time his emotions fluctuated since he appeared. He looked directly at Zhao Tailai who was standing on the ground.

“Who are you? Did you stop me from killing?” he asked indifferently.

Everyone was stunned to find that Zhao Tailai, the owner of Sky Martial Arena, was the one who deflected the blow of a Life Death Stage King.

Lin Zhong’s eyes bulged wide open.

Everyone else’s jaws dropped, flabbergasted

Even Lin Xun was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, “It seems like I underestimated the old fox’s ability...”

However, he was puzzled as to how people like Qin Cangjia failed to recognize Zhao Tailai.

“It seems like I have been too low-profile these years. No one in the Forbidden City knows about me.” Zhao Tai chuckled to himself.

Then, he suddenly raised his head and a terrifying scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emerged in his eyes, followed by a gush of murderous intent piercing the sky like an erupting volcano.

Instantly, everyone seemed to see a killing god stepping out of hell, and the world seemed to be flooded with spine-chilling killing intent and the stench of blood.

The weaker cultivators were scared out of their wits and slumped on the ground, trembling.

Even Lin Zhong and the others felt suffocated and their faces turned pale. The killing intent is too strong. How much blood has stained his hands for him to possess such a terrifying might?

Zhao Tailai had changed. His stout figure became perfectly straight and majestic, like a towering mountain peak piercing the sky. His brows were sharp as swords, and his eyes were shining with divine light. His mighty, imposing bearing made the world whimper!

“Blood Kill King!”

Qin Cangjia’s countenance changed, revealing a rare look of horror. “What...it’s you!” he cried out.

Blood Kill King?!

Many people frowned in bewilderment.

However, the important figures in various areas of the Forbidden City gasped out loud when they heard the title, and an unstoppable cold current surged up within their hearts.

Is it him?!

No one thought they would hear the title again after so many years, nor did they think they would see the killing god with their own eyes!

“Now, do you think I am qualified to stop you?” Zhao Tailai asked, his voice calm, but filled with oppressive power.

He had become completely different from before. As his eyes opened and closed, murderous intent seemed to be shooting out.

“Blood Kill King...how did the old fox have that title...” Lin Xun muttered blankly as he recalled the words engraved before the entrance of Blood Kill Camp—

Violet Glory Flower is undefeated because of blood kill and the empire exists forever because of continued expeditions!

Blood Kill King…Blood Kill Camp…

Was there a connection between the two?

Meanwhile, Qin Cangjia’s face grew overcast and troubled. He had lost the indifference and calmness he had before.

But he was a Life Death Stage King!

Yet he seemed apprehensive of Zhao Tailai, shocking the audience. Although they were unaware of what the title Blood Kill King represented, they knew it was enough to instill fear into a Life Death Stage King.

After a long period of silence, Qin Cangjia turned around and sighed, “I didn’t expect this. It turns out that the kid dares to act so arrogantly and fearlessly because he has support. Never mind. I won’t get involved in today’s matter.”

“Compared to your older brother, your courage isn’t good enough.” Zhao Tailai snorted.

Qin Cangjia drifted away without saying a word.

Is he leaving like that?

Everyone in the audience fought to keep calm. They thought that Lin Xun was doomed after Qin Cangjia came in the most aggressive matter and attacked him without much of a word. But who would have thought that the Life Death Stage King would swallow his anger, admit defeat, and leave without any opposition?

Too unbelievable.

Blood Kill King?

Did that identity have such a terrifying deterrent power?

……

After Qin Cangjia’s departure, the storm in Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion also subsided.

However, the impact caused by the conflict had only just begun!

Since last night Lin Xun returned to the Forbidden City, he had stormed the collateral branches of the Lin Clan alone, launched a bloodbath and united the Lin Clan.

He had declared his return in the most tyrannical way.

Today, the Lin Clan, headed by Lin Xun, violently reclaimed a dozen properties that the Zuo and Qin Clans occupied back then, kicking off the bloody storm.

Now, under countless attention of everyone, Lin Xun, armed with the Shattered Tragedy Spear, the treasured weapon of the Lin Clan, had single-handedly defeated six great cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage above the Forbidden City.

Even if Qin Cangjia, a Life Death Stage King, had come in person, he had to leave in defeat because of the appearance of a powerful man known as the Blood Kill King.

Everyone realized that the end of the storm was just a new beginning. The impact of it would cause a sensation in the Forbidden City and attract the attention of the world!
