The Prodigies War

Sun Huan’s attack was simple, direct and ruthless!

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

It showed his absolute confidence in his strength which surpassed the Cyclic Derivation Stage. He believed he could destroy all sorts of secret arts and techniques with his strength alone!

It was also the foundation and confidence of a half-step king. He believed he could obliterate another mere cultivator with a flick of his finger, and there was no need to make a huge fuss.

Rumble!

Beams of light surged like monstrous waves slapping the sky. The brightness was so intense and terrifying that it illuminated the sky and earth.

Hua Qingchi and the others trembled at the sight, almost suffocating. It was their first time seeing Sun Huan launch an attack.  

The frighteningly tremendous power of that blow left no doubt that even cultivators at the perfect Cyclic Derivation Stage would fail to survive it!

It’s over for that little bastard!

Their hearts palpated with excitement.   

However, before they could rejoice, they simultaneously stiffened and an unforgettable scene happened before them. 

Lin Xun bent a bow and slid an arrow over the string. His tall and slender body suddenly looked as mighty and majestic as a demon god. An indescribable terrifying aura erupted from the bow and arrow in his hands. 

Boom!

The sky and the earth seemed to be collapsing. The terrifying vision of the great sun dipping into the blue sky and the golden crow weeping in the sapphire sea emerged amidst clapping thunder and flashing lightning. It was as though the gods and demons of ancient times were roaring. 

The earthshaking scenes of the catastrophe were akin to the signs of doomsday. 

Boom!

A jet-black arrow shot across the sky like the first ray of dawn ripping apart the eternal darkness.  

The space shattered around the arrow wherever it passed, forming turbulent air currents. The beam of dao light released by Sun Huan was torn to pieces like paper and disintegrated into a shower of light and scattered across the sky. 

Time felt like it had frozen. 

At first, Sun Huan wore an indifferent and cold expression and exuded an air of superiority, but when he saw Lin Xun bend a bow and set an arrow on the string, his pupils shrank and his expression dramatically altered. 

When Lin Xun pulled the bright red bowstring back, his heart inexplicably quivered, his hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his body like it sensed impending danger. 

His mouth opened in astonished disbelief. 

He lost all tranquility when the arrow was released from the string. His face blanched with terror, and he almost screamed out. His superior demeanor was completely gone as he trembled like a frightened rabbit. 

He was scared out of his wits. He realized that he had been too careless, which wasn’t because he underestimated his opponent, but because he underestimated the treasures in his opponent’s hand!

It was as though a divine dragon had discovered that a tiny ant was wielding a remarkable sword that could slay a dragon!

Run!

It was not surprising that Sun Huan was regarded as an old monster among half-step kings. His fighting instinct and rich experience helped him react to the danger in the first instance. 

However, his carelessness was undeniable, and that little slip up might not be significant in any other situation, but at this moment, it was fatal!

He was facing the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow, which both had unfathomable backgrounds. The pair had once taken the lives of many half-step kings on the Blood Kill Battlefield and made them die with extreme regret. 

The bow and arrow even aided Bloodthirsty Queen Zhao Xingye in invading the Magi Brute Camp and forcing them to agree to a ceasefire!

This was Lin Xun’s first time in mobilizing the bow and arrow in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. If he failed to kill his opponent, then he would be unworthy of the monstrous power of the two treasures. 

Boom!

A thunder-like explosion erupted and blazing lights of destruction swept the area, dispersing the darkness of night and disturbing the nine heavens as it spread in all directions. 

Sun Heng was hit in an instant. His flesh and blood were instantly crushed, and he was annihilated in the destructive light!

Even at death, the old monster who was one step away from the Life Death Stage failed to let out a single sound and vanished without leaving a corpse or any bones! 

The terrifying shock waves continued to spread through the area, tearing down the distant mountains, turning the ancient forests into ashes, and splitting the ground with huge abyss-like cracks. Everything was too shocking and resembled the scenes of doomsday.

Thud—

Hua Qingchi and other influential figures of the Spirit Pearl Sect were propelled dozens of feet away like straws from the shockwaves, coughing up blood. They were utterly stupefied. 

In addition to the physical pain, their hearts were being bombarded by waves of unprecedented fear that made them feel despair and helplessness. 

The only Grand Supreme Elder of the Spirit Pearl Sect, a renowned half-step king of the Fire Spirit Province, Sun Huan, was killed by an arrow before their eyes.

They almost collapsed from the shock.  

He’s dead!?

They couldn’t accept the cruel reality!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s face was utterly pale, and his body seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion.  

That was the aftereffect. He was already familiar with it so he didn’t panic and instead, he prepared several pieces of aeth essence to restore his strength and body. 

However, unlike in the past, a ray of imperceptible fiendish thought rose in his mind and constantly battered his state of mind and spirit to the point where it felt unbearable. 

“The Bloodthirsty Queen is right. I shouldn’t recklessly activate the No-Nonsense Bow. Otherwise, the fiendish qi inside it will be triggered and it could lead to unpredictable problems in the future...”

Lin Xun’s black eyes shone with a cold light as he activated the Little Divine Meditation Art to fend off and dissolve the fiendish qi that was attacking his mind.

Zhao Xingye had told him before that the bow was stained with saint blood, and it was called a peerless murderous weapon in ancient times.

However, it was too badly damaged and had accumulated too much fiendish qi and blood. Sooner or later, it would completely erupt!

When Zhao Xingye killed King Yan Qiong of the Fire Tribe, she saw a wisp of qi transform from a saint’s resentment seep out from the bow. Even if it was only a wisp, a top Life Death Stage King figure like her almost ran into an accident!

Imaginably, the fiendish qi was frightening. 

Now, Lin Xun realized that it was a problem even if he only felt a wisp of imperceptible fiendish qi. 

After all, it sent his body of qi into a state of chaos and affected his entire body. 

Only then did Lin Xun realize the terror of the No-Nonsense bow. It not only had an unpredictable impact on the opponent but also on the cultivator who used it!

“If there’s a chance, I want to take a trip to the Sunset Current Valley which is also known as the hidden sacred land. I hope to find the lost weapon spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow and fix its problem…” Lin Xun drew a deep breath. He remembered the advice that Zhao Xingye gave him. 

The No-Nonsense Bow Bow was a true egofied saint treasure. It differed from ordinary saint treasures in that it possessed a weapon spirit that could suppress fiendish qi and bloodthirst. 

After endless years of changes, the No-Nonsense Bow had become severely damaged and worn. Its weapon spirit had also drifted off to an unknown place.  

If he wanted to find the weapon spirit, then he should go to the Sunset Current Valley!

A pained groan from the distance woke Lin Xun up from his deep thoughts. His black eyes quickly turned cold, and he peered into the distance. 

Hua Qingchi and other influential figures from the Spirit Pearl Sect might be in the most miserable and tragic state they had ever been, but they were still all alive. 

Lin Xun put away the bow and arrow, and slowly approached them.

Even if he had drained his energy, he was still confident that he could kill them if he used all his strength. 

Arf! Arf! 

Before Lin Xun neared them, the sharp barking of dogs from the direction of the Flame Capital sent a shiver down his spine. 

His face clouded over. He swept a glance over Hua Qingchi and the others. Finally, he resisted the urge to kill them and immediately left in a hurry. 

If his guess was correct, then the experts of the Black Nightmare Dog Clan had been alarmed and were coming for them at full speed!

After all, they had caused too great of a disturbance. The Flame Capital wasn’t far from there, so anyone could be alerted and come to investigate.

Lin Xun wasn’t traveling alone. He had Xia Xiaochong with him so he couldn’t take any risk to ensure her safety. 

“If you leak out what happened just now then I will wipe out the Spirit Pearl Sect in the future!”

Lin Xun ran his dark eyes over Hua Qingchi like sharp blades. 

Hua Qingchi was chilled to the bone, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Fear had already flooded his heart, but now that he heard Lin Xun’s threat, he almost had a breakdown. 

He knew that the youngster wouldn’t hesitate to do so. 

Shua!

As soon as Lin Xun left those threatening words, he vanished into the mountains shrouded in the darkness of the night. 

“Is…is he letting us go?”

Han Yanque couldn’t believe it. He had lost an arm and had broken many bones. His abdomen was split with a bloody hole, and his hair was disheveled. 

The others were as bewildered as him. No one could believe that Lin Xun would show mercy and spare them at such a time. 

Only Hua Qingchi guessed something. “Everyone, you heard what he said just now. I don’t want any accidents to happen in the future so for the sake of the Spirit Pearl Sect…just pretend that nothing happened today!”

Nothing happened?

Everyone’s face was skewed with a mix of fear, bewilderment, anger and disappointment. Grand Supreme Elder Sun Huan had been killed, but they had to pretend that nothing happened!

Hua Qingchi was even more unwilling to pretend that nothing happened compared to them. But he knew that if he didn’t do so, then the Spirit Pearl Sect would be in danger of being wiped out in the future!

“We have to accept defeat this time. It’s our fault that we offended and underestimated that youngster…”

Hua Qingchi’s eyes glazed over as he murmured, “How is he a peerless genius of the younger generation? He is a monster that defies heaven...Unless he dies, we will have no choice but to admit that we lost this time!”

His expression suddenly became determined and filled with unquestionable authority. 

Yes, admit defeat!

Their Spirit Pearl Sect might be able to rule the Fire Spirit Province, but in the entire West Infinity World, it was only considered a little sect. They couldn’t afford to anger a heaven-defying genius, who was destined to rise in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

Otherwise, they would suffer the fate that the young man threatened them with! Their sect would be wiped out. 

“This way!”

A solemn voice in the dark night jolted Hua Qingchi and the others from their troubled thoughts. 

Horses bathed in black flames were rapidly and silently coming their way.  

The night was dark as ink.

They were like a group of demons from hell.
