The Prodigies War

Chapter 1061 The Blessing of Heaven

Chapter 1061 The Blessing of Heaven

Gou Yanzhen indeed self-destructed, which no one expected, including Zhao Jingxuan.

Her heart wrenched when she saw the explosion. She couldn’t help but clench her fair and slender hands so tight that her knuckles turned white. Her clear and beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the battlefield.

Even though she had absolute confidence in Lin Xun, she couldn’t help feeling a flurry of worry.

“He is so despicable. I feel ashamed to be listed on the Little Giants List with him.” Ye Chen scrunched his face up with disgust.

It was just a battle to determine the rankings of the Little Giants List and everyone only needed to show their abilities, but Gou Yanzhen did something so vicious and sinister. Ye Chen was very displeased.

“Despicable, crazy and no shame. Indeed, all those with the surname Gou are nothing good. If Demon God Lin is eliminated then the following duels would be less interesting,” Xiao Cangtian sighed.

At the foot of the mountain, the major sects who had feuded with Lin Xun wished to see him eliminated, while the neutral sects were shocked by Gou Yanzhen’s brutal means.

However, it all made sense.

The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was notorious for being evil, ruthless, and cold-blooded, yet they remained still standing in the Ancient Wasteland Domain to this day.

Most importantly, the members of the clan were not only vengeful and brutal to their enemies but also ruthless to themselves!

For example, even if Gou Yanzhen was defeated in this battle, he had already made a name for himself due to his fierce performance. If anyone were to run into him in the outside world, the thought of today’s events would be enough to deter them from angering such a ruthless character.

“Look, Demon God Lin is still alive!” someone exclaimed.

Everyone who was staring unblinkingly on the battlefield saw the blood-colored light recede, and a figure loomed.

It was Lin Xun!

However, he was dripping with blood and coughing violently. His face was deathly pale, and his clothes were torn.

He looked miserable!

But he was still alive!

The audience buzzed like never as if they had witnessed a miracle.

“He didn’t die?” Jin Muyun and the others were astounded.

They were gloating seconds before, but now, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten dead flies.

“Impossible!”

At the foot of the mountain, the members of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan roared, their eyes red. Gou Yanzhen had paid such a high price, but he still failed to pull his opponent down with him. They couldn’t accept this fact.

“That’s too bad.” The ancient sect cultivators who were enemies with Lin Xun couldn’t help shaking their heads in disappointment. Demon God Lin is so resilient.

“I knew you wouldn’t be eliminated, but you’re wounded so badly...” After Zhao Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but frown with worry.

This time, the Sacred Recovery Rain did not help heal his injury and restore his strength.

He had to continue into the next battle in a badly wounded state. His situation wouldn’t be optimistic if he was targeted by an opponent.

As expected, Zhao Jingxuan sharply noticed many people’s eyes gleaming when they looked at Lin Xun.

They were like hunters staring at their prey.

This was especially true for Jin Muyun, Li Qingping and Yu Lingkong. They made no secret of their murderous intentions and their readiness to act.

“If I am selected to battle next, I will choose one of those three and that will give Lin Xun a chance to recover!” Zhao Jingxuan decided.

Suddenly, A’lu yelled from another mountain peak. “Demon God Lin, you can’t fall. I, A’lu, only have you and Xiao Qinghe as friends in the East Victory World. If I have the chance to attack, I will definitely help you get rid of one of your opponents!”

Jin Muyun’s face instantly darkened. The barbarian’s words were clearly directed at them!

Soon after that, Sword Demon Ye Chen also said aloud, “Lin Xun, do you need help? If you are eliminated, I would have to drink alone.”

This was the second time he stood up for Lin Xun!

Jin Muyun and the others’ faces darkened even more. They never thought that Ye Chen would view Lin Xun so highly.

On the battlefield, Lin Xun controlled his coughing, wiped away the blood stains on the corners of his lips and said with a smile, “No need, it’s just some minor injuries. It won’t affect me.”

He talks so big!

Many spectators rolled their eyes. Even a fool could tell that you, Demon God Lin, are covered with blood and your qi is tumbling chaotically around your body. How could that be some minor injuries?

“He is afraid of showing any weakness and being targeted by others. After all, he has two more duels to fight. If he is injured, he is regarded as the best prey,” someone analyzed, looking extremely confident as if they could read Lin Xun’s thoughts.

Lin Xun didn’t say much and just returned to the dao altar on the mountain peak, but just as his feet touched the ground, he stumbled and coughed violently.

“Look! He can’t hold on much longer! Anyone who acts now can definitely take down Demon God Lin easily!”

Many spectators exclaimed with excitement.

But some people sighed. “Gou Yanzhen is too cruel, not only did he self-destruct, but he also had to badly wound Demon God Lin at the same time. Demon God Lin had a chance to make it to the top of the rankings, but now…it might be over for him!”

Lin Xun ignored all the remarks and just sat cross-legged on the ground. He quickly took out some elixirs and herbal medicine and stuffed them all into his mouth like they cost nothing.

That only made more people convinced that Demon God Lin was in a very poor state!

Only Zhao Jingxuan was a little suspicious. In the past, regardless of how seriously wounded Lin Xun was, he would never show it.

“How is your injury?” She couldn’t help but ask him through voice transmission.

Lin Xun coughed repeatedly with an ashen face and answered with difficulty, “I’m already like this, do you not see...”

“Really?” Zhao Jingxuan widened her beautiful eyes, feeling a little nervous.

“At least...I should be able to survive until the end of the second round, I think.” Lin Xun blinked, although his face was pale, a smiling expression glistened in his black eyes.

“You bastard!” Zhao Jingxuan glowered at him. Her voice was filled with anger, but her worried frown eased, replaced by a sparkle of joy in her eyes.

“Don’t say anything, let’s see who will be the first to jump out,” Lin Xun urged.

Zhao Jingxuan rolled her eyes. “How long are you going to pretend?”

“As long as I can.” His plan was a bit devious, but he said it with such righteousness.

Zhao Jingxuan nodded imperceptibly.

But she muttered in her heart, “I haven’t seen him for a few years, when did he become so cunning? Could he have been badly influenced by that old toad…”

Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s Coiling Dragon Tablet gained another two great dao luck, one being a reward from the Immortal Sacred Mountain and the other came from Gou Yanzhen, whom he defeated in battle.

Unexpectedly, the great dao luck seemed extraordinarily strong. The dragon body on the stone tablet miraculously lit up with a golden glow.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, greatly surprised.

At the same time, an uproar broke out.

On the dao altar atop the mountain where Gou Yanzhen was originally located, the great dao luck that lingered around his Coiling Dragon Tablet completely vanished!

“He used a taboo means and violated the rules and order of the Immortal Sacred Mountain, so he has been disqualified from the second round!”

“In other words, his ranking in the first round will also be affected, and he will likely fall to the eighteenth place?”

“This is inevitable, and it is not like a similar incident has never happened before in the past.”

“Demon God Lin profited hugely from the disaster. The great dao luck that Gou Yanzhen obtained has become his!”

There was a clamor of discussion, and many gazes became complicated as they looked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun would be ranked first in terms of the amount of great dao luck on the Coiling Dragon Tablet!

Of course, the battles were not over yet, and it would be hard to maintain the number one position till the end.

The Little Giants who originally regarded Lin Xun as their prey almost lost control of their urges.

Lin Xun was wounded and weak, but his great dao luck was the best. If they could defeat him, they would obtain an extraordinary amount of great dao luck!

Facing these gazes, Lin Xun just scrunched up his face more and coughed louder, spitting out mouthfuls of blood from time to time.

“Don’t be so exaggerated.” Zhao Jingxuan scoffed.

“If I can obtain this opportunity, I will not only defeat Demon God Lin but also seize his great dao luck. I can kill two birds with one stone! But no one knows who would be so lucky to be chosen...” Li Qingping murmured.

Huh?

Suddenly, he felt an invisible force envelop his body, and he appeared on the battlefield the next second!

This…

Li Qingping looked dazed as if a pie had fallen from the sky. A wave of happiness swept over him.

The blessing of the heavens!

He tried hard not to laugh, and he did everything he could to control his joy, maintaining a cold and stern expression as much as possible.

If other people saw that a top figure like him wanted to take advantage of Lin Xun’s situation, he would be called a bully!

“It’s him!“ Many people cried out enviously while inwardly cursing Li Qingping for his damn luck.

At the foot of the mountain, the spectators sighed, wondering whether Demon God Lin was lucky or unlucky.

If he was unlucky, then he wouldn’t have survived Gou Yanzhen’s self-destruction and obtained all the great dao luck that originally belonged to Gou Yanzhen.

But if he was lucky, then he wouldn’t have had to face Li Qingping!

If it was another opponent, they might not have the heart to attack him and let him off.

But Li Qingping was different. He was a supreme figure from the Azure Sea Sect and had unabashedly revealed his murderous intent towards Lin Xun long before ascending the mountain!

Based on that, even a fool would know what Li Qingping’s decision would be.

Sure enough, Li Qingping’s eyes flashed like lightning as they locked on Lin Xun. “Lin Xun, although your injury is serious, you should know that this is a battle of luck. Based on the rules, even if you have only one breath of life left, you still have to go onto the battlefield and fight!” he said indifferently, a hint of a cold smile gracing his lips.
