The Prodigies War

Chapter 1862: Executing One Quasi-Emperor After Another

Almost instantly, Jintian Xuanyue, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with Kong Yu’s group, felt her heart tighten as she sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

Her spirit sense then identified it to be Kong Yin’s sword aura!

Her expression drastically changed.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to go and help. Moreover, she was already at her limit, fighting a dozen supreme Saint-Kings with her sword field White Emperor City.

The attack had appeared so suddenly that any amount of anxiety and worry was useless.

In stark contrast to her was Kong Yu’s group.

Originally, their expressions had been unsightly. Being restrained by a lone woman had made them feel shocked and humiliated at the same time.

However, upon sensing Kong Yin’s sword aura, their eyes all lit up, and their hearts trembled.

What a terrifying sword strike!

This was the true might of a quasi-Emperor as someone who stood above all Saints and held a power that was second only to the Emperor Stage!

Qu Rao also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She recognized this sword strike to be Kong Yin’s trump card called the Great Thousand Sword Shadows. Imbued with Kong Yin’s entire sword cultivation and honed over the course of eight thousand years, it displayed in full the unbridled grace of the sword dao.

Even she would have no choice but to avoid its sharpness!

For him, it’s not embarrassing to die under this sword…

As this thought popped into Qu Rao’s mind, the sword aura slashed down.

Boom!

Over a thousand sword shadows rumbled like an army of peerless swordmasters that were charging down with the power that could suppress everything under heaven.

The whole world seemed to be illuminated by the boundless, eye-piercing sword light.

The area within a thousand mile radius soundlessly crumbled into dust, blotting out everything.

At this moment, Lin Xun was expressionless. Only his mind moved.

Clang!

The dull, lightless Broken Blade acted as though it was receiving its awakening call and emitted a dazzling light for a split second.

Heavenly Yuan Slash!

Its power, however, was double compared to that in the past!

A hundred percent increase in power seemed insignificant, but in this case, it was equivalent to twice the heaven-defying battle power of Lin Xun.

This was also the first time that he had unleashed the full power of the Broken Blade after its critical transformation after absorbing the Blue Spirit Dao Source.

The next moment, the Broken Blade swept out like a flash of light, as weightless as an illusion.

Wherever it passed, the sword shadows densely covering the area got crushed, pulverized, and dissolved without a sound.

The sword aura that was even more blazing than the sun seemed to have its light stolen away by this slash of the Broken Blade!

It took long to describe, but everything had happened in a fraction of a second and was so fast that no one had been able to see it clearly.

CLANG!

Amidst the sky-shattering collision, Kong Yin’s sword wailed and was knocked flying away.

Its wielder quivered nonstop from the backlash, and his face quickly became gloomy.

The Great Thousand Sword Shadows was his proud killer move, a masterpiece that had taken him eight thousand years to perfect after he had stepped into the quasi-Emperor Stage.

Yet, it had been countered and destroyed by a puny Saint-King!

How can this be?!

Such an unexpected occurrence caught Kong Yin off guard and swayed his state of mind.

Right at this moment, the Broken Blade reached him.

It was unimaginably fast!

Like a streak that could leave its mark through history, the blade tore through eternal darkness with a light so sharp and menacing that all beings would tremble at the sight of it.

Poof!

There was a flash, and Kong Yin’s full-body defensive power was smoothly sliced through like it was paper.

Shah!

The next instant, he was disemboweled!

A murderous force then poured out from the Broken Blade like a torrent and entered him with a destructive momentum. His body that could compare to an unbreakable diamond started to crack.

Blood and flesh splattered!

Shocked gasps filled the area. No one could have expected that the killer move of a quasi-Emperor would be destroyed in a direct clash.

On top of that, Kong Yin himself ended up in a life-threatening situation!

Boom!

Qu Rao was the first to react, teleporting to Lin Xun’s back and fiercely swinging her steel whip.

The lash was as heavy as a mountain!

Lin Xun didn’t dodge. Instead, he teleported in front of the heavily wounded Kong Yin and punched out.

While the Broken Blade continued to wreak havoc to Kong Yin’s body, this punch held the combined power of the nine cauldrons, wanting to suppress and cleanse the entire world.

Kong Yin had no time to evade.

It had happened so fast that his countless years of battle experience were rendered useless. The only thing he could do was take the punch head-on.

Kaboom!

In the shocking sound of collision, Kong Yin’s tattered shell exploded. The terrifying fist force and the Broken Blade with twice its usual power had worked together to execute this quasi-Emperor on the spot!

The scene was shockingly gory!

Meanwhile, the steel whip had smashed Lin Xun’s back. His internal organs were violently shaken, and cracks appeared on his spinal bones.

Bang!

He staggered and flew out, coughing up blood and quickly becoming pale.

At this critical juncture, the Broken Blade shot out and blocked the raging pursuit from Qu Rao.

The series of events had played out in seconds before coming to an end just like that.

The result was the speedy death of a mighty quasi-Emperor, and the goriness of which drained the color from everyone’s face.

“How…” Ancestor Burning Flame and the other onlookers were dumbstruck. Piercing chills ran down their spines and caused them to tremble uncontrollably.

Despite having faced the pincer attacks from two quasi-Emperors, Yu Xuan had ferociously executed one of them on the spot. The most inconceivable thing was that he was only a supreme Saint-King!

“One less…whetstone…” The anxiety in Jintian Xuanyue’s heart had been completely replaced by an utter shock.

Yu Xuan had ignored the gap of a full cultivation stage and killed a quasi-Emperor!

How many people in this entire world were capable of that?

Meanwhile, the minds of Kong Yu, Xing Liushui, and the rest of their group were in turmoil. Each of them looked like they were seeing ghosts.

Poof!

There was a flash of pure white sword qi, and the next thing everyone saw was several bloody heads falling to the ground.

The one who had attacked was naturally Jintian Xuanyue, who was taking advantage of this shocking event to strike with all she had. Like a stern and murderous immortal, her White Emperor City was filled with blinding, whistling sword qi.

“Attack!” roared Kong Yu, Xing Liushui, and the others. Realizing the gravity of their situation, they started fighting back with all their might.

In the distance, Lin Xun was battling Qu Rao.

One was like the striking, ever-blue sky, interpreting the nine cauldrons with a world-subduing momentum. Supporting him was the Broken Blade that shuttled around with a ferocious sharpness.

The other was lashing her steel whip, pointing at the sky and beating the ground. From the silver-colored weapon, heavy whip shadows were created alongside a tidal wave of various Law Powers.

Despite her fierce momentum, Qu Rao’s mind was in a state of astonishment and anger, and her expression was somber.

Kong Yin’s combat power was not at all inferior to hers, and yet, his trump card had been dismantled by the opponent in one vigorous effort.

That bloody scene had astounded and frightened her.

Ever since she had become a quasi-Emperor, this was the first time she had perceived this kind of bone-chilling threat from a supreme Saint-King.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun took a deep breath to prevent the pain from injuries from affecting him as he attacked with full force.

If it had been his main body fighting this battle, he wouldn’t have been injured. However, Lin Xun could only accept this in order to conceal his true identity.

His mind was clear, firm, and flexible as he interpreted his dao and techniques. His body was blazing like a green sun, becoming more and more illusory by the minute.

Boom!

The sky and earth were turned upside down. The sun and moon lost their glow.

“Die!” Qu Rao suddenly rushed up, taking nine steps in the air. With each step, a waterfall of golden light cascaded down from the void.

Once the final step fell, the nine light waterfalls merged and condensed into a large, golden lotus flower with thirty-six petals with each petal representing a realm!

Thirty-Six Lotus Realms!

This was her unique skill that used her law power of her own Great Dao Field to build a mini world, which consisted of thirty-six realms, and each realm contained a different kind of fatal danger.

Qu Rao was the lord of this world, standing atop the big lotus. As the thirty-six realms had become one with her, she exuded infinite divinity!

As someone who was capable of guiding all living beings, an Emperor controlled a great dao law that was superior to that of any Saint. The Thirty-Six Lotus Realms, for example, was a high-level transformation of Qu Rao’s Great Dao Field!

Upon realizing that Qu Rao had begun to fight with her life on the line, Lin Xun took a deep breath. A flash of determination flashed across his eyes.

With a buzz, the prototype of a Great Dao Field emerged around him. Deep as an abyss, boiling like a furnace, and green in color, it released the wondrous signal of life and death, wither and thrive.

This was the first time Lin Xun had used his Green Wood Dao Body to deploy his preliminary Great Dao Field. Although the form came out different from before, its power was no less unfathomable.

In an instant, a marvelous scene played out in the sky.

The Thirty-Six Lotus Realms manifested all kinds of wonders: an ever-flowing auspicious light, melodious sounds of the dao, roars of gods and devils, and the rotation of the sun and the moon…

However, when Lin Xun’s Great Dao Field prototype appeared, it was like an overbearing storm that raged toward the lotus with an unstoppable momentum.

The auspicious light chaotically dispersed, the dao sounds came to an abrupt end, the roaring gods and devils fled in fear, and the sun and moon were overturned…

Lin Xun’s Great Dao Field was like a source of destruction that plundered life and replaced thrive with wither!

Rumble!

It was impossible to describe what was happening at the moment. The whole world was shaking as a blinding white blanket spread and filled everyone’s vision. It was as if even the void above was being shattered.

The fight sent tremors to even Lin’an City that was an extreme distance away. The various cultivators inside trembled, their expressions faltering as they felt like an earthquake was erupting.

The more powerful experts flew up and stood in the void. When they tried seeing this battle through their spirit senses, they were horrified.

Is this an unprecedented battle between quasi-Emperors?

Unfortunately, they were too far away to see it clearly. Therefore, it was impossible for them to know that the answer was a no, and that it was in fact a duel between two people who had a whole stage difference in cultivation!

Smoke and dust spread.

The mountains and rivers around had turned into cracks and ravines devoid of vitality. There was nothing in sight but the devastated aftermath of destruction.

“Pft!” Lin Xun coughed up blood, looking deathly pale. His clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled, so he was in a bit of a sorry state.

However, before Kong Yu’s group could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw something that sent shivers down their spines. Opposite Lin Xun was a seemingly unwounded Qu Rao, but there was no longer any trace of vitality in her.

Then, she turned into ashes!

As a gust of wind blew by, the ashes scattered…

Utter silence reigned over the area.

The horrifying death of a quasi-Emperor, who had been destroyed in both physical form and spirit, was something that no one could have imagined.

The way her final moment had unfolded was grisly, to say the least!

Life and death, wither and thrive had been decided in the snap of a finger!
