The Prodigies War

A dark-skinned middle-aged man said, “That kid was here not long ago. There is still a trace of his aura left here.” His eyes were bewitching as they glowed like a pair of blazing suns.

He was Mu Lingfeng, a half-step king of the Magi Brute Race, and was ranked forty-seventh on the empire’s king wanted list. He was stronger than the one Lin Xun had killed, Man Jiu.

“King Lei Xiao has issued an order that the kid has to be eliminated. Otherwise, he will become an unpredictable terrifying figure in the future,” stated a mighty-looking old man with a glistening gold beard and bronze-like skin.

He was Jin Duzhen, a half-step king of the Gold Tribe.

“It’s not easy to kill him. Don’t forget that he has a set of bow and arrows that can kill even half-step kings!” Cang Lanxue interjected. She was a half-step king of the Water Tribe. Her hair was white as snow, and her entire body was enveloped in misty water, adding a mysterious and graceful charm to her already beautiful appearance.

“Don’t worry. According to the analysis of the king of our tribe, the kid can’t fully unleash the power of the bow and arrow with his Heaven Ascension cultivation.” Mu Lingfeng, who headed the group, wore a calm expression. “Besides, he can at most fire one arrow with his current strength. This is our chance to kill him. As long as we can evade his arrow, everything will be easy to deal with after that.”

“Ying Qiao, the young master of the imperial family of the Darkness Tribe, wants to capture the kid alive. Do we do as he says?” Jin Duzhen asked, frowning.

“We could if there’s a chance, but if not, just kill the brat right away!” Mu Lingfeng drew a deep breath and terrifying murderous intent glinted in his azure eyes. “This time, we must not allow the kid to escape again!”

Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue nodded.

Lin Twelve was a human cultivator who had set foot on the strongest supreme path, and was a heaven-defying monster who killed a half-step king. He was also a rune founder!

Any one of those identities was enough of a reason to kill him at all costs!

Otherwise, if they allowed a monster like him to grow, he would no doubt become unpredictable trouble to the Magi Brute Race in the future.

“Let’s go!” Mu Lingfeng launched into action.

They had rushed here upon hearing the news and dispatched three half-step kings. Their full preparation showed how much importance they attached to Lin Xun. They seemed to be treating him as their strongest enemy.

This scene would likely cause an uproar if spread to the outside world.

After all, who had ever seen three half-step kings act together to deal with a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage?

It was unheard of!

……

So troublesome!

Lin Xun frowned. He bolted into a full-speed dash, his figure flickering endlessly.

The area was filled with blood-red fog and seemed boundless, but Lin Xun knew that enemies were chasing after him!

Worst of all, he had tried to get rid of his opponent many times, but he failed every time!

“It seems that the half-step king-level old monsters are making a move now. Only they would dare to chase after me so confidently and without concealing their tracks,” Lin Xun said solemnly.

He could detect them not because of his strong sensing powers, but because the other party did not attempt to hide their murderous intent and hostility!

Half-step kings!

Although Lin Xun had killed Man Jiu, he only managed to do so with the power of the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow. After he fired the arrow, he almost used up all the strength in his body.

He had broken through to the upper Heaven Ascension Stage and his strength was now double compared to before, but he still couldn’t guarantee whether he could fire a second full-power Biluo arrow from the No-Nonsense Bow!

When twilight descended, Lin Xun, who was still fleeing, looked graver and graver. He could sense that the enemies behind were getting closer and closer...

Shua!

With a flash, he hid in a rocky ravine thousands of feet away. He took a deep breath and circulated the Suanni Q.

“The kid’s aura vanished here.”

Not long after Lin Xun went into hiding, the three half-step kings, Mu Lingfeng, Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue, appeared.

Their terrifying bearing swept the area like a storm, dispelling all the blood-red mist around.

“Do you remember the information about the battle in the Tiger Canyon? At that time, the kid used a special method of hiding to conceal himself from detection,” Jin Duzhen said aloud as he scanned the surroundings. Two beams of light burst out from his eyes and swept the area.

“Based on that, he is just using the same old trick. If my guess is correct, he should be hiding nearby.” Before Jin Duzhen’s voice faded, he flicked his sleeve and sent a golden ripple spreading outwards from his body.

Boom!

Instantly, the surrounding space collapsed inch by inch, the ground split and the cracks spread and expanded in all directions. The rocks and boulders along the way were all turned to dust.

In the blink of an eye, this side of the world seemed to have suffered from an explosion. The sky and earth had turned a different color.

Those were half-step kings!

Although they were not true Life Death Stage Kings, they had already stepped into the realm of kings and transcended the realm of Enlightened Spirits.

“So fierce!”

Lin Xun shuddered inwardly, realizing more and more about the strength of a half-step king. If he faced them head-on, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Shua!

Without hesitation, Lin Xun activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step with all his strength, leapt up and darted away.

“Haha, has he exhausted all his tricks? He is now a trapped beast!” Following the sneer, Jin Duzhen launched an attack. Blazing golden lights circulated his body. His terrifying power made even the world whimper.

Boom!

A golden bone sword slashed through the air, erupting with divine light as it aimed for Lin Xun in the distance.

Boom!

The thousand-foot-long golden sword qi seemed about to split the universe in half.

There was no way Lin Xun could dodge the attack. It had already locked on him and it was pointless to dodge.

At that critical juncture, he brought out the Broken Blade and decided to fight head-on.

Clang!

An ear-splitting collision shook the area and the golden glow exploded. Then, a scene that horrified everyone happened—

The Broken Blade severed the thick golden sword qi into two!

That was the power of a half-step king, and it contained a king’s comprehension and meaning of the Dao. How would it be ordinary?

But it was slashed in half like that!

Jin Duzhen’s pupils shrank with horror.

“The broken blade in his hand must be a special treasure,” Mu Lingfeng remarked.

His eyes glowed with a blazing light. He was itching to act. He realized that if he could kill the kid, then he could get his hands on a lot of remarkable treasures!

“Must be.” Cang Lanxue nodded, her eyes flashing. She was also tempted to act.

At the same time, Lin Xun shook and his blood and qi tumbled throughout his body. He almost coughed up blood from the impact, but he restrained himself and continued to run away.

“The Broken Blade has truly transformed. It is so sharp that it can cut the sword qi of a half-step king. Even a rune armament can’t do that...”

“But those old monsters are too difficult to deal with. Otherwise, I would let the Broken Blade feast on their blood!” Lin Xun gritted his teeth in anger.

His entire body tensed up as he activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step with all his strength. He sped into the blood-red fog like a flash of lightning.

He had lost his bearings. He only wanted to run away. Being chased by three half-step kings would make anyone feel despair.

If Lin Xun had the Grand Universe Ark, he wouldn’t be in such a predicament. Unfortunately, the laws of space in the Blood Killing Battlefield were too extreme and prevented any treasure with the space-controlling ability to be brought in.

Run!

It was the first time that Lin Xun was activating the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to its peak. He could vaguely see images of a hornless ice dragon flickering around him, guiding him forward most remarkably and mysteriously.

It made his speed increase tremendously compared to before.

Even Mu Lingfeng and the others were surprised by his incredible speed. He was moving at least three times faster than the top figures of the Darkness Tribe!

They chased more and more frantically. If Lin Xun managed to escape from their pursuit, then it would be the greatest shame.

Kacha!

Lin Xun crushed the jade stones one by one in his palm and unhesitatingly absorbed their vitality.

The mysterious vitality contained in the jade stones had an incredible magical effect on replenishing physical strength even when compared to high-grade aeth crystals.

As expected, Lin Xun’s strength was restored within seconds, reaching an unprecedented peak state.

Furthermore, as he continuously absorbed the mysterious vitality, maintaining the unprecedented state, he even began to feel full.

“Little guy, this is the Mulberry Woodland. The deeper you go, the more terrifying it becomes. If you wander around recklessly, then you may even run into an accident before we catch you. Why don’t you stay there and let’s have a good chat first? Perhaps, if you cooperate with us, we will keep your corpse whole and won’t let you die an ugly death.”

Mu Lingfeng’s calm and indifferent voice rang behind him.

“You will die an ugly death!” Lin Xun suddenly spun around, drawing the No-Nonsense Bow, and fired the jet-black Biluo Arrow.

Boom!

The void instantly collapsed, and the sacred sound of great dao resounded between heaven and earth while visions emerged one after another. Rivers of stars exploded and all things crumbled.

There were also terrifying scenes of the sun sinking and the golden crow weeping blood.

The ground split and the space was destroyed where the Biluo Arrow passed, creating a violent and turbulent current. Everywhere was crushed along the way.

The world quaked.

Mu Lingfeng’s eyeballs almost popped out. He had completely lost his composure. How could he have imagined that Lin Xun, who was fleeing for his life, would react so fiercely? His one sentence provoked the human youth to fire that arrow...

“Ahh!!”

Mu Lingfeng shrieked like a frightened hare and quickly dodged to one side.

Regardless of how confident he was, he didn’t dare to think lightly of the sharpness of the arrow. After all, the bow and arrow had once killed a true half-step king!
