The Prodigies War

Despicable?

With his face darkening, Lin Xun turned around.

On the distant mountain peak stood an eight-foot tall and burly man with a wide mouth and fang-like teeth. The boorish man was looking directly at him with disdain and contempt.

“Pah!” The huge man spat out when Lin Xun looked over at him, smashing a hole into a boulder.

“Haha, it’s a pig monster.” Lin Xun was able to determine the boorish fellow’s background with a scan of his spirit sense. He was a fire boar cultivated to the monster-beast level and possessed intermediate Cyclic Derivation Stage strength.

“Pig?” Xia Xiaochong raised her head and studied the burly man curiously.

The man shot a contemptuous glare at Lin Xun before he put on a smile and said, “Little lady, all living beings are born from heaven and earth. There is no discrimination between the beautiful and the ugly or between the upper class and the lower class. For example, I might look a little fiercer, but I am very gentle and considerate, unlike that despicable kid. He is so petty and narrow-minded and only knows how to bully a frail little lady such as yourself. He is a disgrace to men!”

“I can’t believe I’m being looked down on by a pig monster...”

Lin Xun’s expression turned hostile. That beast criticized me before he even learned about the situation. Does he have a death wish?!

“Uh, Big Brother Lin Xun, the pig also agrees with what I said.” Xia Xiaochong looked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun sighed and glared at the pig monster in the distance. “Leave one of your legs and I will spare you death.”

The strange threat triggered a question from Xia Xiaochong. “Why do you want to keep one of his legs?”

Lin Xun said expressionlessly, “I’m hungry and I want to eat a roasted pork leg.”

His reason sent the pig monster into a rage. “You are only a kid at the Heaven Ascension Stage yet you dare to treat me as food! Is your appetite not too big?” he laughed in fury.

Lin Xun snarled, “It seems like you want to force me to have a pig feast.” His expression grew more and more unfriendly.

A pig feast!

Xia Xiaochong stifled a giggle. Her innocent face was as fresh, beautiful and pure as petals after the rain.

The pig flew into a rage. “I’m going to hack the heartless man to pieces first!” Roaring, he swooped down from the mountain peak like a meteor falling from the sky.

He raised his hand and launched a giant red palm strike directly at Lin Xun.

Boom!

The void shook turbulently with ear-piercing explosive noises.

The pig monster was considered an overlord in Ziniu Mountain. As soon as he displayed his cultivation of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, his fierce and domineering aura immediately enveloped the area, sending chills down people’s spines.

However, he was unlucky to run into Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was already filled with pent-up anger after the repeated blows from Xia Xiaochong. Now that a suitable target jumped out on his own initiative, he saw it as a chance to vent.

Shua!

His clothes fluttered around him as he brought the broken blade out in an upwards slash. Silvery light danced in the air like an illusory beam of light had suddenly emerged in the air.

Rumble!

A great battle erupted in an instant, causing the world to quake, the mountains to collapse and the earth to split. The blinding divine light raged across the area like a tide, pulverizing all trees, rocks and plants it touched.

The arrogant and domineering pig monster didn’t take Lin Xun seriously at first, but that changed very quickly. His expression altered, and he became much more cautious, realizing the dangerous situation before him.

Soon, to his shocked disbelief and terror, Lin Xun had forced him into a situation of imminent danger with just a broken blade!

“You…you…you…” the pig monster cried out, his voice filled with endless fear.

It never crossed his mind that a Heaven Ascension youngster would be so fierce and tyrannical. If he had known earlier, how would he have dared to speak so rudely to him?

Lin Xun ignored him and continued to fight with the secret art of the dao rune array concealed within the Broken Blade.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Before long, the pig monster was dripping with blood and covered with bloody scars. He let out repeated wailing screams of pain and terror, realizing his critical and miserable situation.

Terrified, he frantically begged for mercy.

However, Lin Xun had built up a lot of anger, so how would he let the pig monster go so easily? He seized the opportunity with both hands.

“Big Brother Lin Xun, are you really planning to have a pig feast?” Xia Xiaochong’s eyes were wide.

Lin Xun snorted. “Do I seem like I am joking?”

Xia Xiaochong imagined the image of an entire pig feast in her mind and couldn’t help salivating. “Can we eat it together? I’ve never tried the meat of such a powerful pig monster before.”

“……”

The pig monster almost burst into tears in the distance when he heard those words.

He had been standing up for the little lady, fighting for justice, but the little lady turned against him and wanted to eat his flesh!

“Young Master, I was wrong, I just realized that you can never read a woman’s mind!” the pig monster howled, begging for mercy. His injuries were worsening and he didn’t think he would survive much longer.

Lin Xun said indifferently. “If I let you go like this, then wouldn’t it mean that I agree with what you said? I can’t do that.”

The pig monster wanted to slap himself and almost had a breakdown. He had shot himself in the foot.

In the end, Lin Xun let the pig monster go. The reason for that was very simple. The pig monster told Lin Xun that he could take him to find a great opportunity.

Of course, Lin Xun knew what the so-called great opportunity was. He also wasn’t worried that the pig monster would dare lie to him.

“Where will the mysterious ancient formation be unearthed?” Lin Xun questioned, putting away the broken blade.

“Young Master, It turns out that you have already heard about this matter. Then, this will be easy to handle.” Lin Xun’s one sentence made the pig monster realize that Lin Xun had heard about the so-called great opportunity.

The pig monster then told Lin Xun everything he knew.

Lin Xun’s gaze turned a little strange. “Are you friends with the mysterious water python?”

“Yes.” THe pig monster nodded and then he froze. How does this young man know?

“No wonder.” Lin Xun was struck by a flash of realization. When the giant python told him about the news, he also mentioned that he heard it from a friend.

The “friend” he spoke of had to be the pig monster standing in front of him.

“Lead the way.” Lin Xun no longer wasted any time. He was very curious about the ancient formation and wanted to check it out for himself.

“Young Master, it’s very dangerous there. Withered Vine Old Monster is standing guard there and not allowing anyone to approach there. In recent days, countless beings in Ziniu Mountain had been killed by the old monster because they moved too close. If we go there...” The pig monster moved very hesitantly. He didn’t want to take the risk.

Lin Xun uttered coldly, “I’ll give you two choices. One, I’ll enjoy a pig feast right now, or two, take a trip there with me. You can decide for yourself.”

Unhesitatingly, the pig monster chose the latter option. Was that a joke? He didn’t want to be eaten by a ruthless youngster. Otherwise, his death would be extremely tragic and miserable.

……

Fallen Star Peak was located in the depths of Ziniu Mountain.

Rumor had it that a mystery rock from heaven had struck there, inserting itself into the ground as a peak and becoming the current Fallen Star Peak after countless years of transformations.

The peak was different from the others. It was entirely silvery-white like it was covered in snow, and it emitted a starlight-like glow at night.

In the past, many monster-beast cultivators of the area had conducted investigations into the area, hoping to discover opportunities hidden in the Fallen Star Peak, but in the end, they found nothing.

However, on an evening a while ago, a spectacular glow of light from the sky bathed the Fallen Star Peak. Following that, the earth quaked, and an ancient formation emerged on the peak. The formation seemed to be connected with the essence of the sun and the moon and absorbed the qi of heaven and the earth. The gorgeous aura of light and the great movement it caused immediately alarmed all the beings in the nearby area.

Later, the Withered Vine Old Monster took action and slaughtered several monster-beast cultivators with his terrifying strength, stained the place with blood, and occupied the peak.

However, it was impossible to conceal the news about the birth of the opportunity. In recent days, the vicinity of Fallen Star Peak had become a bloodbath.

Lin Xun and the others also came to the area after a long and careful trek.

Along the way, another monster-beast cultivator informed them of the situation, “Old Pig, why did you bring a human cultivator here? I advise you not to go ahead. Just yesterday, a half-step king of the Pine Sword Sect was critically wounded by Withered Vine Old Monster and retreated in a panic.”

The vicinity of Fallen Star Peak had become a place of barbaric and senseless killings. They would no doubt lose their lives if they go there.

The pig monster was worried to death, but Lin Xun refused to give up halfway, so the group continued onwards.

At nightfall, they could see the Fallen Star Peak from a distance.

Under the night sky, the silvery-white peak resembled a white dragon standing upright, especially with the sacred starlight-like aura that shrouded the mountain.

Moreover, as they moved closer and closer, Lin Xun sensed a special and cryptic fluctuation of energy within the Fallen Star Peak.

His gaze suddenly became strange. He had a feeling that there was life in the peak, breathing in and out in the night and absorbing the power of the sky and stars, strengthening its sacred aura.

“It is indeed extraordinary…” Lin Xun murmured as they moved forward together, becoming more and more cautious.

The surroundings were stifling silent, completely free of any noise, and the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

The Fallen Star Peak consisted of a series of jagged precipitous cliffs and strange craggy rocks. Even from afar, a mighty qi was already assaulting their faces.

“We can’t go any further.”

The pig monster’s face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling. A strong feeling of looming danger made him want to turn around and run.

“It is indeed dangerous.” Lin Xun scrunched his brows.

His spirit sense was incredibly strong, so he quickly detected dozens of extremely powerful auras hidden in the shadows around the Fallen Star Peak.

“It seems like even the fierce power of Withered Vine Old Monster can’t deter other strong cultivators from coming...But, where is that ancient formation?” Lin Xun spread his spirit sense across the Fallen Star Peak.

Instantly, a dangerous aura surged into his heart, causing him to shudder. He noticed an obscure restraining force above the Fallen Star Peak.

Undoubtedly, the mysterious ancient formation that had set off many spectacular visions and phenomenons in the world was there!
