The Prodigies War

Chapter 1723: Chunyu Ge

Chapter 1723: Chunyu Ge

The man’s voice was tyrannical.

“M’kay,” said Lin Xun nonchalantly and then tossed out the peach in his hand.

Swish!

The blue-clad man teleported to grab the peach at an incredible speed.

However, even faster than him was a glistening broken blade as it shot toward him.

Heavenly Yuan Slash!

Lin Xun held nothing back with this strike.

At this juncture where A’hu was still in meditation, he didn’t dare to hold back at all.

Clang!

A deafening collision rang out as the blue-clad man blocked the Broken Blade with his sword. While he managed to do so, he was sent flying by the impact.

His face faltered as Lin Xun’s battle prowess seemed to be stronger than he had expected. When did such an unimaginable supreme Big Saint emerge in the Ancient Nebula Road?

Rumble!

Lin Xun wasted no time on nonsense as he charged forward while glowing with valor. He had no intention to give the blue-clad man a chance to evade.

In just the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of blows. The ancient sword clanked nonstop as it clashed with the speedy Broken Blade, causing the fabric of space to tear and collapse.

Poof!

A while later, the blue-clad man coughed up blood, and horror flashed through his face. “Who on earth are you?”

He was in complete shock.

With his combat power, he could be considered a top-notch character in the supreme Big Saint Stage who stood above his peers.

But now, he had been injured!

Lin Xun didn’t say a word. Like a ruthless windstorm, he went all out in his attacks. He appeared incredibly disdainful and domineering, and his killing intent was overwhelming.

But in fact, he was quite surprised in his heart as well.

After all, his cultivation had just improved again. This coupled with the power of the Broken Blade had increased his combat power by about ten percent.

And yet, he still was not able to dominate the other party in a short period of time. It showed that the latter was also a powerful expert!

“You court death!” The face of the blue-clad man darkened upon facing tight suppression as he was enraged.

With a clatter, a soft whip roughly thirty feet long and entwined with purple lightning appeared in his hand. There was a quick flash as the man fiercely swung it.

Pop!

The void was viciously shattered like it was paper, and terrifying purple lightning quickly roamed forward. Then, with a bang, the Broken Blade was flicked, flying away.

This lightning whip was obviously not an ordinary Saint Treasure. Despite its flexible appearance, it was filled with a horrendous aura of destruction and was actually of the most rigid and tyrannical nature!

Pop! Pop! Pop!

After scoring a hit, the blue-clad man continued slashing out as if venting his anger. Pointing at the sky and beating against the ground, the weapon set off thousands of illusions and sent out an endless torrent of purple lightning.

Without hesitation, Lin Xun summoned the Dao Endless Pagoda.

Buzz~

From the pagoda that looked like it was made of gold cement, an arcane golden light flowed out and covered the region.

An earth-shaking sound of collision marked the complete suppression over the blue-clad man’s momentum. Despite its astounding power, the purple lightning whip was inadequate in front of the Dao Endless Pagoda.

The blue-clad man completely paled. My Yin Lightning Whip doesn’t work either?

He found this incredulous.

As a peerless treasure that had shaken the ancient times, the Yin Lightning Whip was the greatest killer card in his possession. It had allowed him to even provoke a Saint-King!

Yet, it was being firmly suppressed by a pagoda…

Before long, the blue-clad man was once again suppressed and beaten. Coughing up blood, he instantly drew back and intended to escape.

But right at this moment, Lin Xun leaped at him, the Dao Immeasurable Bottle glowing on his palm.

Boom!

Thirty-Three Heavy Swords surged out like an ocean and drowned the blue-clad man.

However, this person’s capability was still beyond Lin Xun’s expectations. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the blue-clad man roared violently.

A bone hand then materialized above the man, crystalline like white jade. The five fingers were branded with strange dao fluctuations.

The bone hand slapped out.

Boom!

The ocean of sword qi exploded into a rolling rain of light!

The terrifying power of the strike caused Lin Xun’s pupils to shrink. The bone hand carried the aura of Emperor Dao and was filled with supreme might.

The blue-clad man took advantage of this moment to break away. However, he had sustained cuts all over from the sword qi and was bleeding horribly.

Letting out a miserable howl, he looked like a hideous demon. “I want you dead!”

Ever since he had started cultivation, he had never suffered such a great loss, nor had he ever been beaten to such an extent. It drove him berserk.

Boom!

That bone hand swept up high, glistening brilliantly with an obscure light. Its aura alone imposed a pressure on Lin Xun’s spirit and caused him to stiffen.

However, the Dao Endless Pagoda also diffused golden dao rays that cleansed and dissolved the oppressive aura.

“Rise!” shouted Lin Xun as the killing intent in his eyes deepened.

The Dao Endless Pagoda instantly radiated a vast and ancient aura. With a thundering buzz, it began to represent a momentum that triumphed over the past, present, and future.

Under this great momentum, the skeletal hand was mercilessly imprisoned. It couldn’t struggle at all as even the Emperor Dao aura branded within the bones was suppressed.

“Pfff…” The blue-clad man coughed up blood once again as he seemed to have suffered a backlash. Staggering nonstop, he looked like he had just encountered the most unbelievable thing ever and roared in rage:

“This is not possible! How can the hand of my clan’s Evil Emperor be suppressed!?”

Lin Xun couldn’t care less as he teleported over. With a move of his hand, the Broken Blade slashed out a terrifying silver torrent at the blue-clad man.

Poof!

The man was split in half. Blood splashed like a bursting waterfall.

In his final moment, he still wore a look of disbelief!

It was as if he had never once thought that he would die in front of this Flat Peach Tree, at the hands of a stranger that he had never even heard of.

With a clang, Lin Xun put away the Broken Blade.

Bang!

The bone hand, which had lost its controller, bizarrely cracked and exploded into a rain of white powder.

Lin Xun was stunned. A treasure branded with Emperor Dao’s aura can just disappear like that?

The destruction of the treasure clearly had something to do with the blue-clad man!

But Lin Xun didn’t bother to delve into the details.

He turned to A’hu nearby to see that the latter had not suffered any disturbance, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

And then, he looked at the phoenix-robed woman.

Before Lin Xun could say something, the woman had turned around. With pure, jade-white skin, her face carried a uniquely dignified and calm aura.

She was tall, wearing a scarlet phoenix robe. Her black hair was coiled in a bun. She was extremely beautiful.

Looking at Lin Xun with her bright, narrow phoenix eyes, the woman praised, “You are very skilled; you killed Tu Qingxiong, who is twenty-seventh on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings in less than ten minutes. This deed is bound to shake the Ancient Nebula Road once it spreads.”

Only then did Lin Xun know that the blue-clad man had been a supreme character on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

No wonder his battle prowess was so remarkable; it was a cut above the likes of Yan Chunjun and Lu Ang.

“It seems that you didn’t know about Tu Qingxiong? He was a direct descendant of the Blackwater Battle Clan that is one the Great Ten Battle Clans. His ancestor was a character of worldwide notoriety in the primeval era, Evil Emperor Xuanlv.”

The eyes of the phoenix-robed woman were limpid and glowing with a brilliant luster. They seemed to be able to see into one’s heart.

However, she couldn’t spot any hint of emotional fluctuation behind Lin Xun’s calm and unperturbed demeanor.

This slightly caught her off guard.

Is this person still not aware of the scary consequences he will face for killing Tu Qingxiong? He will become the thorn in the Blackwater Battle Clan’s flesh that they must eradicate!

Unfortunately, she didn’t even know that Lin Xun wasn’t a cultivator on the Ancient Nebula Road at all.

Having said that, even if he had been aware of this since the start, he still wouldn’t have shown Tu Qingxiong any mercy!

It had always been how he acted, and it would stay the same in the future!

“Okay,” said Lin Xun. “What about you; who are you?”

The phoenix-robed woman was stunned. She seemed to guess something and said in realization, “You must have come from the nine domains, fellow daoist. This is quite hard to believe…”

Lin Xun didn’t deny it, which made her heart jump in astonishment. When did the nine domains produce such a menace?

After calming down, the woman introduced herself, “My name is Chunyu Ge, and I am from the Imperial Chunyu Clan.”

Imperial Chunyu Clan?

Lin Xun was unfamiliar with this name as he indeed had never heard of it. He didn’t even know how many emperor clans there were on the Ancient Nebula Road, not to mention a person named Chunyu Ge.

Seeing such a bland reaction from Lin Xun, Chunyu Ge felt a little disoriented. In the past, which cultivator wouldn’t be apprehensive and reverent when they saw her?

Therefore, she was more and more certain that the young man in front of her was not from the Ancient Nebula Road.

“It seems that all of the available Flat Peaches here have already been captured by you, fellow daoist…” Chunyu Ge’s eyes were complicated.

She knew very well that there were limited opportunities of harvesting the Flat Peaches. If someone captured them ahead of time, then the others would end up with nothing even if they passed the dream realm’s trial.

This was the case for both her and Tu Qingxiong.

Lin Xun still didn’t deny it and just looked at Chunyu Ge quietly.

“Forget it. If I stay any longer, I will definitely incur resistance and dislike from you. Since that’s the case, I might as well leave.”

Chunyu Ge also noticed Lin Xun’s rigid manner toward her. Remembering how he had fought and killed Tu Qingxiong earlier, she ultimately decided to leave.

Before departing, she couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow daoist, may I know your name?”

“Lin Xun,” Lin Xun reported his name.

Chunyu Ge recited it silently, then smiled sweetly. “I believe there are possibilities of us meeting again in this Kunlun Dominion. Until then, fellow daoist.”

After saying that, she casually drifted away without any hesitation or turning back.

It seemed as though the loss of a supreme opportunity was nothing to her at all, and that her mind was free of any worries.

Regardless of Lin Xun’s attitude, she had never shown any trace of hostility, which made him feel quite surprised.

She gave up like that?

Only after sensing that Chunyu Ge’s aura had vanished completely alongside her figure from the Peach Utopia Secret Realm did he finally determine that she had really given up.

“An unfathomable woman who conceals her power well…” assessed Lin Xun.

His intuition told him that Chunyu Ge was an even more dangerous character than Tu Qingxiong!
