The Prodigies War

Chapter 1514 Bizarre Ambush

Chapter 1514 Bizarre Ambush

This was a secret realm!

Zhao Jingxuan had come to this conclusion.

What worried her was that she had been searching for a long time without finding the exit. If she couldn’t get out of here, then would she be trapped forever?

The only thing that put Zhao Jingxuan slightly at ease was that when she cultivated, she could feel the aura of the great dao all around her.

It was so clear, so real, and almost touchable!

Eventually, Zhao Jingxuan sighed. Discarding all distractions from her mind, she once again entered meditation.

......

The atmosphere in the Spirit Refinement Forest had been amiss lately.

This was the conclusion that many experts of the Blood Demon Territory had arrived at.

A supreme character from the Ancient Wasteland Domain named Lin Xun had miraculously survived up to the present, yet to be hunted down.

“It’s been almost a month, but not a thing has been heard from him. Strange.”

“We have so many Saints and still can’t kill a two-legged sheep?”

“Young Master Xue Qingyi has ordered that all enemies in the Blood Demon Territory be removed within three months, but that Lin Xun is clearly a tough nut to crack. We’ll have to wait and see who can kill him.”

After entering the Spirit Refinement Forest, Le Xuexiu had heard many conversations concerning this Ancient Wasteland Domain’s expert called Lin Xun.

However, he did not pay it any mind.

He had only come to pick up Le Mujin.

A two-legged sheep who had yet to reach Sainthood was not worthy of his attention.

Le Xuexiu had a well-proportioned physique and an imposing appearance. His hair was long and light green. His handsome face had a touch of unique arrogance.

Although his aura was calm, the Saint might emanating from him was unconcealable. Numerous cultivators stiffened when he passed by and looked as if they were seeing a god!

Swish!

Suddenly, Le Xuexiu came to a halt.

A Black-Striped Demon Wasp that was pitch black in color had appeared on his way. It was only the size of a thumb but emitted a terrifying aura that belonged to a Saint.

“Lord Le, there is an emergency that requires your aid,” said the wasp respectfully.

“What is it about?” Le Xuexiu frowned.

“A supreme Saint of the Ancient Wasteland Domain has emerged in the Ice Wind Valley eighty-three thousand miles away from here, and up to this point, nineteen Saints from our territory have been killed by this person.

“From what we’ve known, that person is called Ruowu and comes from the Vermillion Bird Lineage. Both her innate abilities and battle prowess are extremely terrifying.

“Currently, three supreme Saints like you are rushing to Ice Wind Valley from different regions.

“After the Young Master Le Qingyi learned of this matter, he ordered that this woman must not be allowed to leave the Blood Demon Territory alive.”

The Black-Striped Demon Wasp quickly reported the whole situation.

Le Xuexiu was surprised. “You’re telling me that dumpster of a domain can still birth supreme Saints?”

The wasp said, “It is indeed very unexpected.”

Le Xuexiu mused, “I’ll pick up Le Mujin first and then we’ll go to Ice Wind Valley, how about that?”

The wasp replied, “The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. My lord, you should know how difficult it is to hunt and kill a supreme Saint after they escape. Please go right away.”

After a moment of silence, Le Xuexiu opened his mouth, “Alright, I’ll get to this now, but there’s something I want you to do.”

The Black-Striped Demon Wasp said, “Certainly, my lord.”

Le Xuexiu said, “Do whatever you must to bring Le Mujin back to the City of Protection, and when the Absolute Hell Secret Realm opens, I want to see him enter it as soon as possible.”

After saying this, Le Xuexiu’s figure flickered and vanished into thin air.

Remaining on the spot, the wasp sighed, “Young Master Le Mujin is already dead. But if I told you about this, then the hunt for Ruowu would definitely be delayed...”

......

“What? Le Xuexiu has left?”

On the edge of the great abyss, Ding Shanhe and the other Saints felt as if their spirits had become alive again, as a heavy weight had been lifted off their hearts.

“I just received the news from the elder of my clan, so it can’t be wrong.” Feng Pingzi nodded. “We must kill that brat Lin Xun while Le Xuexiu has no time to pay attention to this matter.”

“Right, right, right.” Ding Shanhe nodded vigorously, his eyes glowing with a ferocious light. “I still have to trouble you once more. Help me gather all the members of the Golden Demon Snake Clan, and in addition, capture some more two-legged sheep. This time, no matter what, we absolutely cannot let that little scumbag live!”

The last sentence was laced with palpable hatred.

“Good!” Feng Pingzi nodded.

......

In the underground palace secret realm, Lin Xun gradually awoke from his meditation.

“Master, Little Sky has awakened two innate abilities, teleportation and instantaneous stealth!” In the distance, Little Silver came and reported with an uplifted expression, “Going forward, Little Sky and I can ambush Saints when we work together!”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “What do you mean by that?”

Little Silver pointed at his nose and said in a domineering manner, “Don’t forget that I am the king of the God Devourer Insects, Master. Even Saints won’t be able to stop me from killing them as long as I successfully sneak into their spirits!

“However, a Saint’s alertness and instinctive reactions are too terrifying. Without moving at a speed comparable to teleportation, I can’t drill into their spirit.”

Speaking of this, Little Silver laughed, “But with Little Sky, it will be different. He can transport me with teleportation while using the miraculous instantaneous stealth to conceal the power fluctuations during the teleportation. Working together, it will be by no means difficult for the two of us to sneak up on a Saint.”

Upon comprehending this, Lin Xun praised, “As expected of a descendant of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterflies – already so formidable the moment he had awoken his innate talents.”

Little Silver was dumbfounded. His face then darkened. “Master, when I become a supreme Saint, I’m afraid that even you won’t be my opponent.”

“Really?”

“That’s for sure. My God Devourer Insect Lineage can awaken an innate ability called ‘slaughter gods’ upon entering the Saint stage. It’ll allow me to be invincible against opponents of the same cultivation stage!” Little Silver spoke proudly with his arms folded.

“Mhm.” Lin Xun suddenly got up and said, “Let’s go, let’s test the power of you and Little Sky when working together.”

Little Silver was blazing with a murderous aura. “It’s long overdue. It’s been stifling, being trapped here.”

......

Outside the great abyss.

Ding Shanhe, Ji Qing, and the other Saint were on constant alert as they faced the abyss and stood a thousand feet away from it.

“Heh? The little scumbag has actually taken the initiative to come out!” Ding Shanhe’s eyes immediately erupted with an intimidating glow as he radiated a murderous intent from top to toe.

At the same time, Ji Qing and the other Saint also saw Lin Xun emerging from the abyss.

“And you actually haven’t fled yet. I didn’t think you three old fossils still had a spine,” sneered Lin Xun.

Originally, he had intended to ambush them, but he gave up after seeing that they were completely alert.

“Little scum, do you really think that we can’t do anything about you?” Ding Shanhe’s expression was chilling. “Let me tell you, because of you, all the two-legged sheep in the Blood Demon Territory have been suffering. Oh, right, it won’t be long before a new batch is sent to us. Let us see if the chivalrous and righteous you will still step in to save them then.”

“To think that you mighty Saints can only threaten me like this. If I were you guys, I would have slit my own throat long ago. You know what, I’ll let you live a few more days.” Lin Xun’s eyes were icy. After finishing his words, he turned around and leaped into the abyss.

He left?

Ding Shanhe’s group was stunned, but they didn’t let their guard down. Their previous encounters with Lin Xun had made it completely clear to them that he was in possession of heaven-defying techniques that could pose a fatal threat to Saints even though he wasn’t one yet.

A long time later, Ji Qing said, “It seems that he really left.”

Ding Shanhe warned, “Don’t be careless. That little scumbag is cunning and full of tricks, so it’s possible that he’ll suddenly come back.”

Ji Qing and the other Saint nodded.

Inside, they actually felt extremely humiliated as well.

The other party was just an ant, but they, as a party of three Saints, acted as if they were facing an army and had to be on constant alert in case he would ambush them. If this got out, they would become the laughing stock of the other eight domains.

Not long after, Feng Pingzi’s voice sounded in the distance, “Everyone, I have already spread the news. I believe it won’t be long before a good number of experts of the Golden Demon Snake Clan arrive.”

She paused a little before continuing, “On the other hand, the matter of capturing more two-legged sheep will have to wait for some time. As you all know, it’s been quite difficult to capture a two-legged sheep alive in the Blood Demon Territory these days.”

Ding Shanhe and the other two nodded in understanding.

Boom!

Just then, there was a deafening noise.

Lin Xun had emerged from the abyss again at some point with the No-Nonsense Bow fully drawn and fired the Biluo Arrow. The horrendous noise had precisely been produced by the attack.

However, Ding Shanhe’s group sneered. Since they had never let their guard down, they were able to avoid the attack with a flicker.

“Same old trick. Did you run out of skills?” snorted Ding Shanhe without hiding his contempt.

Ji Qing and the other Saint also laughed out loud.

Did this damned little scumbag really think that they would fall in the same pit several times?

“Aaahhh! Noooo!”

However, the Saint beside Ji Qing suddenly hugged his head and screamed like a beast.

His body then jerked violently before becoming rigid, and his eyes bulged. Shock, anger, horror, and unwillingness were written all over his face.

In the end, he fell head-first on the ground with a heavy thud, completely devoid of breath!

What the...?

Ding Shanhe and Ji Qing subconsciously moved away like frightened rabbits with trembling hearts.

It was too bizarre!

They had clearly dodged the little bastard’s attack, but their companion had still died on the spot without warning.

The sudden turn of events nearly made Ding Shanhe and Ji Qing cry out in disbelief.

How is this possible?

What exactly happened?

Floating in the abyss, Lin Xun laughed heartily, “I don’t see any Saints in front of me, only two grasshoppers!”

Ding Shanhe’s and Ji Qing’s faces couldn’t be more unsightly at the moment. Blue veins popped up on their foreheads.

They had been extremely careful, but in yet another ambush, another companion had died for no apparent reason.

Meanwhile, Feng Pingzi who had come to deliver reports was completely dumbfounded. Another Saint is dead?

All of this was like a huge blanket terror over her heart, causing her to tremble uncontrollably with fear.

Just what kind of a horrifying character is this guy?
