The Prodigies War

Chapter 1211 Thieving Bird

Chapter 1211 Thieving Bird

Wu Lingdao was dead!

The supreme king of the Golden Crow Clan, who had earned the title of Little Battle King and amazed the world by passing the first longevity tribulation, had an extremely bright future.

But now, everything about him vanished like smoke with his death.

The audience was utterly silent, still coping with the shock.

The incredible strength that Lin Xun demonstrated turned everything they knew on its head.

Only then did they truly realize that despite them all being supreme kings, there was a world of difference between them due to the different paths they took.

The white-robed man and Wu Shanlin who both died at the hands of Lin Xun were considered influential figures.

But they still failed to hold their own when facing Lin Xun.

Even someone such as Wu Lingdao, a supreme first longevity tribulation king, died at the hands of Lin Xun, who was a whole cultivation level below him!

He simply defied heaven.

The word monster was not enough to describe his abnormal strength.

Everyone, including Zhen Yunfeng and Mo Tianhe, stared at Lin Xun with extremely complicated gazes, as if they were looking at a monster who never did anything expected.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was panting a little.

In this battle, he had consecutively killed three people, but most importantly, he activated two ultimate killing moves, the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger and the Impermanence Slash, which took a toll on him.

Other than that, he was unscathed!

“Run!” screamed someone on the Flowing Fire Battleship as they fled in panic.

Wu Shanlin had died, and Wu Lingdao was also dead. They had lost their pillars, so how would they still hesitate to leave?

Rumble—

The Flowing Fire Battleship made a terrifying roar and took off, crushing everything in its way.

“Do you want to leave? Have you asked our permission?” Zhen Yunfeng’s lips curled in a cold sneer. The next second, he sped after them.

The others also sneered and followed closely.

The men and women on the ships had all been arrogant and obnoxious, treating them as trash. Zhen Yunfeng and the others had long wanted to teach them a lesson.

After all, they were supreme kings! Moreover, Zhen Yunfeng and Mo Tianhe were ancient-era eccentric geniuses with foundations comparable to that of Wu Shanlin!

They would not miss the chance to utterly crush them while they were down!

Even Ji Xingyao took action, murderous intent swirling in her bright eyes. Clearly, Fairy Ji had some pent-up anger she wanted to vent.

“You should take a rest here, leave those guys to us.” She sent a message to Lin Xun before she set off as though worried that he would interfere.

Lin Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then he chose to stay behind.

He first searched the bodies of the white-robed man, Wu Shanlin, and Wu Lingdao, and was a little surprised by the abundant loot he obtained.

He then sorted them and found that there were actually four divine herbs and dozens of king grade herbs.

In addition, there were all kinds of rune materials and divine ingredients, all of which were incredibly valuable and rarely seen in the outside world.

As he stored away his trophies, he casually picked up and chewed on a nine-leaf king ginseng. It crunched like a radish and filled his mouth with a burst of refreshing essence and medicinal aroma.

Before he reached the king stage, king grade herbs were indeed a luxury but also life-saving trump cards.

But now, he had collected over hundreds of king grade herbs!

Most of which were from looting the enemies, but some were found by himself.

Clearly, robbing enemies was the simplest and most direct way to accumulate wealth. Of course, it was violent and bloody and put his life at risk.

Lin Xun scoffed down the king-grade herb in one go, replenishing his energy, and soared into the air, his gaze fixed on the dao fire atop the silver mountain.

Swoosh!

However, just when he was about to take action, a ghostly black shadow whizzed out from nowhere and with a clang, captured the silver fire into a huge black pot.

It was the huge black bird!

Even Lin Xun never imagined that guy would pop out at this moment nor that he was an expert in stealing. In one swift motion, he snatched the silver dao fire that he had been after.

The huge black bird whistled proudly and flapped its wings, ready to leave.

“Big Black, stay there!”

Lin Xun was no longer the same as he was before. He had already moved one step ahead and blocked the black thieving bird’s path.

“Hey, little friend, we meet again, what a coincidence!”

The big black bird put on a surprised look as if he had just happened to run into Lin Xun.

“Stop pretending! Give it back!”

Lin Xun’s black eyes flashed as bright as lightning, glowering at the cunning and wicked thief. Murderous intent suddenly rose from him.

The first time they met was in a dilapidated ancient temple in the depths of the Boundary River and the guy was enshrined in a Buddhist shrine.

The second time they met was in Burning Immortal World. The guy always carried a black pot on his back and both times he attempted to knock him unconscious from behind.

This was their third meeting.

Lin Xun only had one impression of the little thief: He was wicked, cunning, and a rogue!

The big black bird rolled its eyes and snapped, “Young man, I thought highly of you, so I call you little friend. Who do you actually think you are? Quickly get out of my way, don’t you dare block my path again? Otherwise I’m going to beat you to death.”

This guy is definitely someone who easily turns his back on his friends. His true rogue nature gets exposed in no time.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but smile coldly and reached to grab the black bird like a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

A black pot appeared in front of the black bird like a shield. Lin Xun’s hand went numb and his shoulders ached, while the black pot did not budge at all.

The big black bird sneered, “Idiot, how dare you try to sneak attack on me? Don’t you know that I am the ancestor of the sneak attack clan?”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. The black pot is strangely covered in a layer of obscure power that can produce a rebounding force.

In other words, the power that he unleashed was rebounded by the black pot and sent a numbing pain through his hand and arm.

“No wonder you take the black pot with you everywhere. It turns out to be a rare treasure,” Lin Xun remarked thoughtfully.

The big black bird suddenly became vigilant. “Boy, it’s just dao fire. Is it worth going against me for it?”

Lin Xun suddenly strode forward and the power of Baxia Imprisonment invisibly spread outwards from him and enveloped the area.

The big black bird made a strange cry, extended his wings, and staggered away from it.

A strange glint flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes. This was the first time he had seen the Baxia Imprisonment fail.

Someone managed to evade it.

The thieving bird is no ordinary creature!

“If you mess with me again, don’t blame me for being rude!” threatened the big black bird as it beat its wings with rage.

“Say, if I go all out, can I capture you?” Lin Xun’s dark eyes glowed menacingly.

“You? Of course n…” the black bird coughed when he noticed the serious look on Lin Xun’s face. “Little friend, we are acquaintances. Is there a need to resort to violence?”

Lin Xun crept closer. “Oh, since we’re acquaintances, then why did you steal my Origin Dao Fire?”

The big black bird inched back, saying solemnly, “You’re wrong, this Origin Dao Fire is not suitable for you. If you listen to me, I can offer you some advice and tell you about a secret place that contains Alpha Dao Fire.”

Lin Xun’s face brightened with interest. “Let’s hear it.”

“Then stand there, don’t move!” the big black bird yelled, looking alert.

Lin Xun stopped as requested. “Tell me then, but if you dare to lie to me, I guarantee that even if you can escape today, you will be skinned alive!”

The big black bird’s mouth twitched as if he wanted to curse, but he held back and said, “Alpha Dao Fire is hidden under a stone tower more than three hundred miles away.”

As he was speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and looked at Lin Xun suspiciously. “If you plan to go there then you must hurry. A little guy of the Three-Legged Golden Toad Clan is already inside. Any later then…”

Before he finished, Lin Xun perked up. Toady?

“Did you see a young man in a green robe?” Lin Xun interrupted.

The big black bird frowned in disbelief, “Do you know that kid? Damn it, it makes me angry just talking about it. That kid is already trapped in it, but he refused to let me in. If he wasn’t a junior, then I would have beat him up!”

The black bird continued, “His teeth were clenched with fury and his nostrils were flaring up and he talked big but even an idiot could tell that he suffered a lot there.”

“Tell me the specific location and I will let you go.” Lin Xun did not bother to argue with him.

The big black bird seemed to notice something unusual with Lin Xun as he asked curiously, “Little friend, could it be...”

Lin Xun frowned and interrupted him again, “Are you going to tell me about it or not?”

The big black bird almost cursed aloud. This guy scolded me again and again. He really needs a beating!

In the end, he held back and told Lin Xun the location.

As expected, Lin Xun kept his promise and released the big black bird, which surprised him.

Before leaving, he turned his head back and reminded Lin Xun, “Do you remember that I told you about the Ancient Buddha Son? You have to be careful about him.”

With that, it fluttered its wings and disappeared.

Ancient Buddha Son?

Lin Xun’s black eyes shone coldly. None of the successors of the Earth Treasury Temple had given him any good impression.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, the black bird returned.

He furrowed his brows as though he was very conflicted. “If, I mean if…you are defeated by the Ancient Buddha Son, then, no matter what, you must destroy the Great Treasury Silent Scripture and the Bodhi Wood!”

As he reached the end of the sentence, he gritted his teeth.

“What’s the significance of this?” Lin Xun frowned.

“Ah, this is too troublesome to tell you. All you need to know is that if you don’t die, then the Earth Treasury Temple will never give up!”

The black bird flapped its wings and flew off.

This time, it didn’t come back.

Lin Xun fell silent, an uneasy feeling swirling in his heart.

“What sort of secrets are hidden in the Great Treasury Silent Scripture and the piece of Bodhi wood? Why is the Earth Treasury Temple so persistent in getting rid of me?

“I should have captured the thieving bird...” sighed Lin Xun.

“That thief knows far more than I thought, but he’s so cunning and tight-lipped.”

Perhaps, this was karma.

“I received the opportunity left by Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen, so I have to shoulder and face the dangers that come with it!

“Ancient Buddha Son...” Lin Xun murmured the name.

Meanwhile, in another part of the sky, the big black bird was also murmuring to himself, “This cause and effect is too great, that kid...can he bear it...”
