The Prodigies War

The return of Mi Hengzhen brought a sense of ease, regardless of whether he won or lost the duel against Bai Longting. 

 

But the arrival of Jin Xiaoming cast a cloud of gloom over Thousand Streams Mountain. Everyone couldn’t help but tremble inwardly. 

So strong!

The moment he arrived, he already showed his strong murderous intent!

“Get the hell out here!” His icy voice bellowed, breaking up the rocks, shaking plants from the soil. and sending many cultivators’ qi and blood tumbling around their bodies.  

The real body of Jin Xiaoming stood indifferently in the air, clad in a blood-red robe. Coupled with his golden hair and eerie green eyes, he looked like a killing god looking down on the world. 

In truth, he had already communicated with his doppelganger when he arrived and learned about everything that had happened on Thousand Streams Mountain. 

So, instantly, he fixed his bright, green eyes on Lin Xun. 

At the same time, Qi Chongdou sent a voice transmission to Mi Hengzhen, informing him of everything that had happened. 

Then, Mi Hengzhen’s eyes also shifted onto Lin Xun, filled with undisguised appreciation but also a hint of curiosity. 

Demon God Lin!

He had heard of his name many times before, but it was only now, at first sight, that he realized that Lin Xun was truly worthy of his reputation. 

He dared to challenge ancient-era eccentric geniuses. This fact alone was enough for Mi Hengzhen to form a good impression of Lin Xun.  

At the same time, Lin Xun also sensed the gazes from Mi Hengzhen and Jin Xiaoming.

But he was unfazed by Jin Xiaoming’s undisguised murderous intent and just glanced at Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger that was imprisoned on the ground. “Do you think I didn’t kill him because I didn’t dare to?”

Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger was wild with joy to see that the real body had come to rescue him, but when he heard Lin Xun’s words, he immediately felt a chill in his heart. 

In the sky, Jin Xiaoming’s face darkened and he bellowed once again. “Do you dare?!”

Lin Xun responded with a slight smile and stretched his hand out in a slapping motion. 

Bang!

The head of Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger was smashed to a pulp, even the wisp of primordial spirit within had been obliterated!

Chi!

Blood sprayed across the air. All cultivators’ eyes bulged with shocked disbelief. They never imagined that someone would kill Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger in front of his real body. 

How tyrannical and spine-chilling!

Even Mi Hengzhen was taken aback for a moment before he chuckled aloud, eyes glimmering with surprise and admiration. 

Jin Xiaoming’s expression turned incredibly ugly  

The loss of the doppelganger had little impact on him, but he felt provoked watching it destroyed before his eyes!

Boom!

His aura instantly grew more and more terrifying as his blood-colored robe rattled around him and glaring green light rose and shrouded him.  

“Do you want to die!?” He fumed, his golden hair whipping about. His terrifying aura dimmed the world and made many cultivators’ breathing become laborious. 

Evidently, Jin Xiaoming was far stronger than his doppelganger. 

However, Lin Xun seemed unaware as he said casually, “Toady, chop up the dead snake, and A’lu, prepare a pot to stew the snake for everyone to try later.”

“Okay!” Toady agreed happily.

“Leave it to me.” A’lu patted his chest, grinning. 

“You—you—and you—have to die!”

Jin Xiaoming was so infuriated that green light shot from his eyes, and he charged down from the high altitude of the sky. With a wave of his hand, an arc of green light that was as thick as a waterfall rushed downwards. 

Boom!

The air shattered bit by bit as though the green arc was unstoppable.  

“You want to kill here, have I agreed?” 

With a flash of light from Mi Hengzhen, a giant hand was drawn across the void like it was severing yin and yang. Then, a perfectly round pattern emerged with a sun and moon floating within it. 

Buzz—

The round pattern swirled in the air, obliterating the divine green light till not a trace of it remained.  

Lin Xun’s dark eyes lit up. Mi Hengzhen had demonstrated his unmatched strength and power with just one strike. He was indeed worthy of being called one of the most powerful supreme figures of his generation.  

“Mi Hengzhen, you have been badly wounded in the battle with Bai Longting, do you really want to fight me now?” Jin Xiaoming’s face was dark.

Badly wounded!   

Everyone gasped in their hearts. They found it hard to believe because Mu Hengzhen did not look injured in the slightest.  

Mi Hengzhen said calmly, “I am the host of the Thousand Streams Meeting, so even if I am wounded, I won’t allow my guests to be bullied.” 

He said that in the most casual tone of voice, yet it was filled with superiority and determination!

He had a handsome, gallant and elegant appearance like a gentle piece of jade, but once he revealed his ability and powers, even the sky and earth would dim. 

This was Mi Hengzhen, the leading figure of the younger generation of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace and also the absolute apex giant who made a name for himself long ago. His elegance bearing compelled anyone to feel heartfelt admiration for him.  

“Does that mean if I kill this kid, you won’t just stand and watch?” Jin Xiaoming’s face was cold and livid.

“Correct.”

Mi Hengzhen answered without any wavering, “Your doppelganger came to cause trouble on Thousand Streams Mountain while I was away. This is already unforgivable, and now you threatened to kill here! Do you think that I am a pushover who you can order around?” 

Qi Chongdou and the others all palpitated with excitement. 

Everyone’s faces were alight with admiration. Even Lin Xun had to admit that Mi Hengzhen was worthy of his respect based on his courage and sense of responsibility alone.

However, even if he respected him, he had to take care of the matter himself. 

He soared into the air and said, “I’ve been waiting here to make a pot of snake stew. Brother Mi, please allow me to kill that overgrown worm.”

Overgrown worm...

Everyone’s face twitched. 

Mi Hengzhen did as well. He stared at Lin Xun blankly, as though taken aback by his courage, and then he smiled. “In that case, I won’t need to do anything.”

After that, he moved out of the way. 

“Hahahaha….”

Jin Xiaoming was so angry that he roared with laughter. This was the first time since he appeared in the world that someone dared to insult him like that!

Boom!

He didn’t bother to say another word and directly acted. He raised his hand into the air, and a giant blood-red spear was launched from his grip, tearing through the void with an ear-piercing screech like a mighty dragon. 

The spear was domineering, ruthless, swift, and contained the terrifying power of the great dao. As the spear shot out, blood-red light flooded the world.

His strength is indeed entirely different from his doppelganger’s!

Instantly, Lin Xun realized that the real Jin Xiaoming was much stronger than his doppelganger and felt great pressure. 

However, this was exactly what he wanted to see!

Clang!

The Broken Blade flashed in the air, as bright white and illusory as snow. It was enveloped in the power of the water dao, and its edge glinted with an indestructible light.

Lin Xun never felt the need to bring out this treasure when he previously fought against Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger.

Bang!

The Broken Blade and the blood-red spear clashed, and a fierce battle instantly unfolded in the air. The blade flashed like lightning while spear shadows raced across the air, destroying the layers of clouds in all directions. 

Jin Xiaoming’s eyes narrowed. As soon as they clashed, he realized the terror of Lin Xun, which snapped him out of his furious state, so he began to attack with all his strength.

He activated his giant, blood-red spear to its peak state, tearing unsettling cracks into the space wherever it passed and dying the sky a ghastly red shade. 

Indistinctly, there was the roar of a sea of blood and the howl and wails of ghosts and gods echoing across the world. 

The audience were all dazzled and stunned by the astonishing scenes, fighting to compose themselves. The power of the real Jin Xiaoming was so remarkable that they felt suffocated!

His doppelganger clearly paled in comparison. 

It was no wonder that Jin Xiaoming was so unyielding. Even if he was alone, he was not the slightest bit afraid of Mi Hengzhen and showed no hesitation to attack Lin Xun on Thousand Streams Mountain to wash away his shame.

Mi Hengzhen stared intently at the battlefield. He could tell that Jin Xiaoming was very powerful and could be regarded as one of the strongest among the supreme figures.

Therefore, he was ready to interfere at any time.

He was the one who initiated the Thousand Streams Gathering, and Xiao Qinghe, who invited Lin Xun, was his junior brother. He would not allow Lin Xun to be killed in front of him. 

But…

He was surprised to find that Lin Xun had never once fallen into a disadvantaged position in the fierce battle, and he even matched Jin Xiaoming’s tyrannical strength. 

“That kid is in the same generation as Junior Brother Xiao Qinghe, but he has clearly already reached the pinnacle level of the Supreme Path and is much stronger than former number one on the Little Giants List. I can even confidently say that he is strong enough to achieve first place in the Four Worlds Star Ranking Competition...”

Given Mi Hengzhen’s knowledge and experience, he could easily tell that Lin Xun had surpassed the level of a Little Giant.

“It’s no wonder that Junior Brother Xiao Qinghe admires and respects him so much. Someone like him is indeed worthy of being called a talent of the younger generation,” Mi Hengzhen marveled. 

Strictly speaking, he, Wang Xuanyu, Ye Mohe and Yan Zhanqiu were veteran supreme figures who started earlier than Lin Xun. They were all over thirty years old.

Lin Xun was still very young. It had only been a few years since he came to the Ancient Wasteland Domain from the lower domain, but he had already become one of the most well known people in the world.

He was beyond extraordinary!

“If that kid takes part…we might have a higher chance of success,” Mi Hengzhen said ruminatively.

Boom!

In the sky, the two continued to be embroiled in the fierce fight. They had already fought hundreds of rounds, and the battle was so intense that the sun and sky had gone dim. 

This battle with the real Jin Xiaoming was Lin Xun’s first real spar against an ancient-era eccentric genius.

As for Jin Xiaoming’s doppelganger, he was not worth mentioning. 

Jin Xiaoming’s expression grew more and more serious as the fight continued. He no longer dared to underestimate Lin Xun, but treated him as a formidable enemy. 

On the other hand, Lin Xun’s courage mounted as the battle progressed. His dark eyes blazed with fierce fighting intent!

He would not go as far as to say that he had met his match, but Jin Xiaoming’s power indeed filled him with excitement!

After all, it was not easy to meet a worthy opponent.  

This epic duel had attracted the attention of everyone present except for two people. 

One was Toady, who was dissecting the body of the thousand-foot-long snake like a butcher. His hands were stained with blood, but his movements were swift and skillful. He even hummed a little tune. 

The other was A’lu. He prepared a huge fire and suspended a large iron pot of water over it, waiting to throw in all the ingredients for cooking. 

The other cultivators stared at them, utterly speechless. Those two are so heartless. Are they not worried about Demon God Lin at all?
