The Prodigies War

Chapter 1640: Abi Sword

Chapter 1640: Abi Sword

Lin Xun stepped forward and said with a smile, "I won’t really call it offending. We’re old acquaintances. I thought I killed him several times, but he keeps coming back to life. He’s more tenacious than a stone in the toilet."

Everyone was stunned and displayed bewildered looks.

It was surprising. No one would have thought that a young man like Lin Xun, who seemed indifferent to the world, would have such a dazzling combat record.

After all, Underworld Son was no ordinary person. No matter how much they loathed him, they could not deny that his foundations, talent, and strength were top-notch, making him incredibly powerful.

Who could have imagined that Underworld Son had been killed several times in a row?

For a time, they couldn't help but look at Lin Xun in curiosity. It wasn’t easy for him to one-up Ling Xiaozi in the rune arts and defeat Underworld Son.

How many other secrets did this kid have?

"You little bastard, I see that your tongue is still as sharp as ever. Are you in such a hurry to die?"

Underworld Son almost exploded in anger. Lin Xun's words were akin to rubbing salt into his wounds, causing new and old grievances to burst from his heart as a ferocious murderous intent surged from him.

A beam of terrifying blood-light shot into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds. His sinister murderous intent also materialized in the form of blood-colored smoke.

Shun Ji's expression darkened as he shouted, "What do you think you’re doing? Fighting is prohibited in the Great Emperor Pass!"

Underworld Son gnashed his teeth. "This is between him and me and has nothing to do with the rest of you. It’s best that none of you interfere. Otherwise, I guarantee that no one will get off easy!"

Even Saints could be angered at times. It naturally wasn’t due to having a weak mental state but because people with power could often act as they pleased.

Underworld Son was the perfect example at the moment.

The crowd of old monsters was displeased and grew to dislike Underworld Son even more. Did he think he could show such blatant disregard toward them because he had a powerful backer?

"Elders, I apologize that you guys have to see this scene. I can only blame myself for not beating him to death, which has made him become a mad dog."

Lin Xun smiled and cupped his hands at Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and the others. "However, he isn’t wrong. This is our grudge, and I hope to take this opportunity to resolve it once and for all."

There was a firm resolve in his voice.

Everyone realized that Lin Xun also shared Underworld Son’s sentiment in getting rid of the other party!

"Hahaha, resolve this? Good, that will be best. You guys heard it loud and clear, he’s the one who's asking for death!"

Underworld Son laughed loudly. His blood-red hair danced wildly as his expression grew increasingly chilling.

If it weren't for the old monsters present, he would have already attacked long ago!

Shun Ji quickly transmitted to Lin Xun, "Kid, this is the Great Emperor Pass. Even if you’re confident in defeating Underworld Son, no one will allow you to kill him. It is a rule that everyone must follow."

Lin Xun immediately frowned. Like Underworld Son, Lin Xun also had to give consideration to the group of old monsters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have held back until now either.

It was a classic scenario of enemies becoming agitated when meeting.

"Lin Xun, I will only ask you a single question. Do you dare to fight?"

Underworld Son loudly shouted, not hiding his murderous intent. His eyes were scarily red, indicating he was eager to take revenge.

"Preposterous!"

A quasi-Emperor sternly shouted, "Do you have no respect for the Great Emperor Pass? Do you think I won’t subdue you and put you in jail right now?"

Underworld Son's expression fluctuated with uncertainty. After a while, he coldly snorted and said, "I know the rules, we can just open the God Demon Arena. Fighting in the God Demon Arena isn’t against the rules, right?"

He was clearly determined to make it happen!

Everyone looked at Lin Xun. The implication was clear: as long as he refused, it would be useless no matter how much Underworld Son clamored.

"Elders, you guys have already seen that this mad dog will keep trying to bite others if I refuse. Since that is the case, allow me to resolve this matter."

Lin Xun had a calm expression while his eyes gleamed coldly.

He likewise didn’t want to miss this opportunity!

Madam Mu sighed and instructed, "Fine, Shun Ji, open the God Demon Arena and let them fight."

Shun Ji nodded and swiftly rose into the air. With a wave of his sleeve, space violently rippled.

Soon after, a gigantic arena emerged. It shined brightly and pulsed with strange and complex restrictions.

It was the God Demon Arena.

In the Great Emperor Pass, any disputes or conflicts that could not be resolved with words would be resolved in the God Demon Arena.

However, killing was forbidden in the arena. It was a rule established when the Great Emperor Pass was first built.

Swish!

Without any hesitation, Underworld Son rushed into the arena. He stood there with his scarlet cloak fluttering around him.

He frostily looked down at Lin Xun and said, "Why aren’t you coming up to die?"

His voice rumbled across the area like thunder.

His unbridled and arrogant attitude made the old monsters uncomfortable. Underworld Son...was simply too lawless!

"Young friend, are you sure you want to fight him?"

Madam Mu was rather worried. Although Lin Xun had defeated Underworld Son before, that was in the past. Moreover, the current Underworld Son was clearly different from before.

"He was no match for me before and won’t be a match now either!"

With that, Lin Xun stepped into the air and entered the God Demon Arena. He looked calm, composed, and as untouchable as an immortal.

Upon seeing this, the old monsters stopped trying to dissuade him.

In any case, it was impossible for any deaths to occur with them overseeing the battle.

However, they couldn't help but worry. Underworld Son had been diligently training at the Great Emperor Pass for several years. They had witnessed his efforts and knew how powerful he had become.

On the other hand, they knew almost nothing about Lin Xun's strength. They could only see that he had also reached the Supreme Saint Stage and had a solid foundation.

"Die!"

In the God Demon Arena, Underworld Son immediately made his move. His murderous intent boiled, no longer able to hold back.

However, Lin Xun suddenly said, "Wait."

Underworld Son froze. With a cold expression, he taunted, "Why? Have you become scared after stepping into the arena? Has the mighty Demon God Lin become a coward?"

Lin Xun smiled faintly. "You should know that neither of us will be allowed to kill the other no matter who wins. This is naturally rather unpleasant, so I have a suggestion. How about we make a bet before the duel?"

Underworld Son's eyes flickered and he said, "Sure!"

How could he not agree to what was essentially a freebie?

Crash~

With a wave of Lin Xun’s sleeve, the blood-underworld-river-like Yuantu sword and a mottled, bloodstained bronze shield appeared.

He smilingly said, "If I lose, these two treasures shall be yours. If I win, hand over your Underworld Emperor Spirit Refining Kettle. What do you think?"

"Despicable!"

Underworld Son almost exploded with anger. The Yuantu Sword and the bronze shield were originally his treasures, but they had been taken by Lin Xun in the Supreme Realm.

Now, the other party was shamelessly using them as stakes. How low could he stoop!?

The most intolerable part, however, was that he had even set his sights on the Spirit Refining Kettle, which was his biggest trump card and greatest reliance!

"The Yuantu Sword and the Blood River Shield were treasures often used by the Dark Blood Underworld Emperor before he reached the Emperor stage. Ha, I now believe that Lin Xun has indeed defeated Underworld Son before."

Shun Ji was thrilled.

The other old monsters also revealed surprised expressions. They naturally recognized the Yuantu Sword and the Blood River Shield.

"Why? You’re afraid?" Lin Xun's casual words brimmed with contempt.

Underworld Son took several deep breaths to calm himself. With a flip of his palm, a pitch-black sword appeared that emitted a terrifying black radiance. Faint sounds of gods and demons hissing and crying was heard as a vision of purgatory emerged.

He coldly said, "How can a treasure like the Underworld Emperor Spirit Refining Kettle be used as a bet? However, this sword should be more than enough!"

Abi Sword!

Shun Ji’s, Madam Mu’s and others’ expressions changed slightly.

Like the Yuantu Sword, the Abi Sword was also a mysterious and terrifying alpha Saint treasure. It was rumored to have been born in the underworld, and its destructive power would frighten even ghosts and gods.

Enemies killed by this sword would have their souls trapped in the purgatory within the sword for eternity and suffer endless torture and torment!

Similarly, the Abi Sword also used to belong to the Dark Blood Underworld Emperor.

Lin Xun's eyes lit up as he inwardly sighed. Underworld Son had way too many treasures. He was like a treasure-delivering servant who was always bringing Lin Xun a new surprise.

"Okay, you can bet that sword."

Lin Xun readily agreed.

"Hmph, but I think it's still not enough."

Underworld Son said, "Whoever loses will have to kowtow and slap himself in the face. Do you dare to accept?"

Evidently, he also understood that it would be impossible to kill Lin Xun with all the old monsters around.

However, it would at least feel a little better if he could trample on Lin Xun and make him feel endless humiliation.

"Are you sure? I’m a little worried that you won't acknowledge the bet if you lose."

Lin Xun was unfazed.

"Do you think I will try renege on the bet with so many people watching?"

Underworld Son’s expression was ice-cold, and his teeth itched with anger.

He could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart and brazenly attacked.

His aura rushed forth like a blood-red torrent, pulsing with violent, unparalleled power that tore apart the shackles of space!

Boom~

Heaven and earth seemed to change color as dreadful blood-colored murderous intent engulfed the arena. In this moment, Underworld Son resembled a peerless evil god walking out of the underworld, who gave off an overwhelming presence.

A giant, blood-colored, glass-like seal burst from his hand, crushing the surrounding space.

The old monsters’ eyes shrank at the sight. What a strong power! Was this the power of a Supreme True Saint that had created his own dharma art?

Lin Xun neither retreated nor dodged. He gave off an ethereal sensation as he lightly thrust his palm.

Dong!

A deafening collision occurred, swiftly followed by loud rumbling and rippling dao light aftershocks.

An astonishing scene followed. Although Lin Xun's palm force seemed simple and casual, it instantly knocked away the blood-colored glass seal.

Meanwhile, Underworld Son's swiftly approaching figure violently shook in the air and almost staggered back as if he was struck by a giant mountain.

"Ah!" Shun Ji’s and Madam Mu’s eyes were colored by shock.

The power of that palm strike was simply astonishing. Wouldn’t that mean Lin Xun was also no ordinary Supreme True Saint?
