The Prodigies War

"Little shit, why aren’t you running anymore?" Gou Gui suddenly returned to human form and strolled through the air with a cold expression. A blood-colored aura spread from him as a mighty King pressure engulfed the sky and land.

He was feeling very relaxed at the moment. He had originally been on high alert while chasing Lin Xun because he suspected that Lin Xun was up to something.

But now, Gou Gui finally realized that Lin Xun was merely trying to use the same trick he had before and sought to borrow the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King’s power to suppress him. 

How ridiculous. I've already been tricked once, why would I fall for it a second time?

This kid is obviously out of ideas!

"Escape? Why would I escape?"

Lin Xun smiled, displaying his snow-white teeth that gleamed brightly under the sunlight. "Don’t you think the feng shui here is pretty good?"

"Feng shui?"

Gou Gui frowned, feeling the kid was displaying very unusual behavior. Out of caution, he didn’t rush to make his move. "Have you begun to talk nonsense now that you’re at death’s door?"

Lin Xun grinned and said, "Old dog, I'm not joking around. This is the burial ground I specially prepared for you."

Gou Gui's expression darkened. When he next blinked, killing intent that could shake heaven and earth burst from his eyes. How dare the kid provoke him at this juncture; it was simply unforgivable!

Buzz!

It was at this moment that Lin Xun made his move!

The accumulating power in his body instantly soared to an unprecedented peak, causing a radiant, dream-like azure haze to steam from his body.

Omm!

The No-Nonsense Bow was pulled back to the max as the Bilou Arrow emitted a low but clear hum.

Lin Xun seemed to transform into a master archer from the ancient era. His waist and spine were straight and imposing while his arms were pulled impossibly wide as peerless killing intent rose from him like billowing smoke.

Intimidating!

Unlike the previous time he used the bow, Lin Xun had also activated the Sacred Combat Art and Yazi’s Rage, allowing his focus and power to soar to an unprecedented level.

The boiling battle intent completely transformed his aura, causing him to resemble a fighting god whose sole desire was to fight forever!

This was undoubtedly Lin Xun's strongest attack and was the combined might of all his power pushed to the max.

Hmm?

There was no choice for him but to acknowledge that Gou Gui was a frightening individual. As a King expert, he instantly sensed a fatal threat that caused his expression to change drastically as he retreated without hesitation.

Boom!

He transformed into a giant Black Nightmare Sky Dog and shifted away at an astonishing speed that almost made it feel like teleportation.

"What a terrifying aura. Did he lure me here to kill me with that horrifying weapon?"

"What is that bow and arrow? Why do they fill me with such dread? Could they be a set of Supreme Saint Weapons?"

"Damnit! How does that little shit have so many treasures? If I had known, I would have destroyed him much earlier!"

As Gou Gui frantically fled, his expression fluctuated indeterminately and he gnashed his teeth so hard in hatred they nearly broke. How humiliating was it that a mighty King expert like him would struggle so hard to kill a mere Heaven Ascension insect without success?

To make things worse, he had even been scared off!

It made Gou Gui so angry that his lungs nearly burst. Who could have anticipated that the youngster he viewed as a bug would be so difficult to deal with?

However, he did not dare to stop and turn back. The terrifying fatal danger he felt made him afraid to display any hesitation whatsoever.

Boom!

Gou Gui’s expression abruptly changed when he realized that a bolt of golden lightning was suddenly descending from the sky with an aura of absolute destruction.

Shit!

It scared him to death and nearly made his scalp explode. Who could have expected that such a deadly attack would appear while he was escaping?

Caught off-guard, he had no choice but to take evasive maneuvers. He sped forward, crossing more than a thousand feet in an instant and narrowly avoiding the golden thunderbolt.

However...

His entire body stiffened as he felt a deadly killing intent arrive.

"This King will fight you!"

Gou Gui displayed the decisiveness of a King expert. Dreadful divine dao radiance violently surged out from his body as he pounced at Lin Xun with deadly focus and resolve.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the Biluo Arrow blew open a huge hole in Gou Gui’s body, causing an explosion of blood and flesh.

If any other cultivator were to receive such an attack, they would have probably died on the spot.

Gou Gui, however, continued to rush forward as a horrifying aura of destruction rose from his body like steam, causing the world around him to wail in agony.

In the distance, Lin Xun’s complexion had turned pale as a wave of weakness washed over his body. His expression was also grave, clearly caught off-guard by Gou Gui’s tenacity.

He had originally thought that one arrow would be enough to kill an already heavily injured Gou Guo. Who could have imagined that the old dog would be so tenacious?!

This was the power of a King expert. The five greater cultivation realms were akin to five mighty mountains that many cultivators of the world were trudging through.

A King expert stood above these mountains and was an existence that surpassed the five greater cultivation realms. They were akin to overlords that overlooked the world, and the power they wielded had already transcended the barrier of life and death and begun to strive toward the secrets of immortality!

How could such a transcendent existence be easy to kill?

In the past, Lin Xun had only killed Half-Step King experts before. While he had also witnessed true King experts being killed, he had never truly faced one and was naturally unable to understand how terrifying they were.

It was only now that he realized this and knew that his situation had become very dangerous.

"Little shit, die!"

Gou Gui’s eyes bulged from their sockets, glowing with craziness and rage. The wrath of a King expert could change the very terrain itself and make rivers of blood flow, let alone the most terrifying final desperation of Gou Gui before death.

The nearby area crumbled and dao light thundered as if doomsday itself had arrived, creating a terrifying scene of destruction.

If such a thing were to happen in a populated city, it would be no less than an unimaginable catastrophe!

Lin Xun felt as if his presence had been locked onto, making him feel suffocating danger and pressure.

Whoosh!

Unable to care about anything else at the moment, he rapidly burned his essence blood with Yazi’s Rage, squeezing every last bit of potential he had left to escape with the Grand Universe Ark.

However, he was ultimately a split-second slow, and Gou Gui’s claw ruthlessly smashed into the Grand Universe Ark.

Boom!

The Grand Universe Ark smashed into the ground, causing a huge explosion of dirt. Lin Xun instantly suffered heavy injuries, causing him to violently cough blood and feel as if all of his bones and tendons were nearly shattered and torn.

Terrifying!

If not for the Grand Universe Ark’s sturdiness due to being a damaged Saint treasure, it would have been impossible to block the attack and Lin Xun would almost definitely be dead.

Worst of all, shooting the arrow earlier had practically emptied Lin Xun of his energy and left him in a weak state. The grave injuries he suffered were just an insult to injury.

In the sky, what was left of Gou Gui furiously roared, "Die!"

At this very moment, he resembled a demon god attempting his final strike of desperation. With a hideously twisted expression, he released terrifying Black Nightmare Flames that rapidly loomed at Lin Xun, threatening to swallow him whole.

Whoosh!

The Grand Universe Ark flickered away, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Lin Xun had poured Golden Essence Jade Liquid into his mouth. He had also thrown caution to the wind and was using everything he had to flee.

He had already realized that this was akin to the old dog’s final blaze of glory, and he would soon fall once enough time passed!

"Still trying to escape?"

The crazed Gou Gui seemed to flicker across the air and instantly caught up.

However, before he could attack, another golden thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky.

Crack!

Space was torn asunder as destructive dazzling golden light struck Gou Gui, causing him to stagger and nearly fall from the air.

"You again!"

Gou Gui was infuriated. Blood dripped from his eyes as he glared at the nameless mountain. "This king will destroy your nest!"

Boom!

He opened his mouth and breathed out Black Nightmare Fire. The sky and land were rapidly flooded with flames that rumbled as they burned space itself and rushed toward the nameless mountain.

Meanwhile, he sprinted through the air as he raised his hand and chopped at the ark.

Thud!

The Grand Universe Ark was sent careening through the air like a kite with a broken string. Lin Xun didn’t know how many more bones he broke as he repeatedly coughed blood, causing his already pale complexion to become almost transparent.

However, he gritted his teeth and didn’t give up. He wrestled back control over the wobbly Grand Universe Ark and continued to flee.

"Abominable!"

Gou Gui had gone completely mad. He had not expected the Grand Universe Ark to be so sturdy and save Lin Xun's life twice in a row.

Gou Gui bellowed, "Die!"

However, his body suddenly stiffened. The wound in his chest left by the Bilou Arrow had finally begun to fall apart...

He had already lost nearly half of his body and the earlier attack had been his last desperate counterattack. Now, there was no longer any way to suppress his injuries.

The remaining half of his body began to crumble.

"No!"

Gou Gui finally began to feel fear at his imminent death, causing him to panic as unease rapidly flooded him. He was a King expert that had already begun to search for the path of immortality, how could he possibly go willingly?

He was still waiting for the battle of the great age to arrive to investigate the mystery of Sainthood, he still...

His heart was filled with overwhelming regret, which nearly led to Gou Gui’s mental collapse. He knew that he was truly finished this time...

However, the thought that he was being dragged to his death by a Heaven Ascension youngster nearly made him go crazy with sullenness and frustration.

To feel so frustrated before death was unbearable!

Boom!

Gou Gui dragged his crumbling body through the air, desiring to bring Lin Xun along to death.

However, he didn’t notice that it only made his body fall apart even more rapidly.

It was only when he caught up to the Grand Universe Ark that he realized to his shock that he could not exert even a sliver of power!

The hands were gone and his body was also gone, leaving only his head and eyes that were wide with rage!

It was a horrifying sight that he could hardly believe and felt like being struck by lightning. What a horribly frustrating way to die!

Gou Gui’s anger and sadness hit their peak as his vision finally darkened and he slipped away into the eternal void.

Thud!

His head fell to the ground, creating a large crater. His dead eyes continued to bleed as they stared at the Grand Universe Ark as if unable to accept this reality.

A mighty King expert who had commanded influence and power for many years and was famous throughout the lands had died. Even until death, he never imagined that an opponent he had viewed as an insect would be the one to put him into the dirt.

In the Grand Universe Ark, Lin Xun coughed up blood and rose to his feet. His heart was still beating wildly as he muttered, "That old dog has finally died...so this is the King stage, huh?"
