The Prodigies War

Chapter 1944: Turning On Each Other?

Swish!

The sword qi rushed into the sky, vast and brilliant, with the sun, moon and stars vaguely appearing in it, just like the stars in the sky rushing up.

Lin Xun was in the air as his dark eyes narrowed. What a strong sword qi!

It was no exaggeration to say that even in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest, Lin Xun had never witnessed another cultivator who could use such a stunning sword.

Undoubtedly, the one who had acted was a ruthless guy!

Lin Xun flicked his finger, and a dazzling Taixuan sword qi rushed out, colliding with the opponent's sword qi.

Boom!

The void immediately became disordered, and the remnant sword qi exploded before splashing like raindrops.

"Huh."

With a slightly surprised tone, an extremely majestic figure emerged. His long hair was draped over his shoulders, he had eyes like swords, and his whole aura resembled a sword immortal’s: extremely sharp.

Even from a distance it hurt to look at him directly.

"You’re Cloud State’s Jin Duyi?"

The man's eyes locked onto Lin Xun as his sharp aura extended intimidatingly.

Yue Ruhuo!

Lin Xun also immediately identified who the other party was and he couldn’t help but frown.

This guy was the kind of freak who had stayed hidden for countless years, but was extremely powerful. He was the type who didn't even take Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang, Huangfu Shaonong and others like them seriously.

This guy, like Zhi Bai, was a terrifying character who seemed to be unknown but was actually unfathomable.

Lin Xun didn't expect that he would meet him at this moment.

"Interesting, you were able to block my sword strike which has been hidden for a long time. You are truly a good opponent for me to encounter.”

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Yue Ruhuo’s lips.

"If you can block my next attack, I will immediately let you leave."

As he spoke, Yue Ruhuo smiled slightly. A gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes as he stretched out his hand in a grabbing motion.

Buzz!

A three-foot green sword qi appeared, shining like the sun. It was dazzling and brilliant, and the nearby space collapsed, as if it could not bear the power of this.

"I cultivate the Three Foot Sword and I am completely unobstructed wherever this three foot sword goes.”

Yue Ruhuo waved his sleeves and commanded, "Go!"

The green sword qi swept into the air as it drew a long arc resembling a rainbow trying to pierce the sun and the moon.

At this moment, Lin Xun couldn't help but reveal a look of amazement. What a powerful sword qi. It was perfect and vast while being compressed into one form. It resembled a sword, but it actually contained the extremely exquisite power of its user’s Great Dao Field. ?

Lin Xun did not take it lightly and immediately pointed out his right hand.

Swish!

A touch of cold light appeared on his fingertip. It was beyond brilliant and also dazzling and sharp to the extreme. In an instant, the world became dim, as if only this light was left!

Thorn of Sharpness!

This was the innate ability of his White Metal Dao Body. A single jab from it could shock ghosts and gods. Even someone who was at the first level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage would find it difficult to avoid it.

Bang, bang, bang!

A burst of explosions resounded, and Yue Ruhuo's green sword qi exploded inch by inch, resembling pieces of gorgeous and colorful green glass shattering. A rain of light flew.

In a flash, the three-foot green sword was completely destroyed!

"Is that enough to convince you?"

Lin Xun did not continue to attack as he stowed away his power and spoke calmly.

Yue Ruhuo was stunned speechless. He did not expect that the person who had achieved first place in Cloud State’s Dao Debate Contest could actually defend against his real power.

He pensively murmured, "Apparently not all experts from these satellite states are actually easy to deal with. Jin Duyi, you can leave."

Lin Xun glanced at him and left.

He had no intentions of continuing the fight because he was not sure that he could even defeat Yue Ruhuo immediately.

"Although let me remind you, the next time we cross paths, I will strike again with my sword. If you can still block it then, I will not attack you again in Mythical Huang Secret Realm,” Yue Ruhuo said loudly.

"Then we'll talk about it next time." Lin Xun did not even turn his head.

Once Lin Xun's figure had disappeared in the distance, Yue Ruhuo retracted his gaze. This guy’s combat power likely ranks at least among the top ten in the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings... I just don't know how many more hidden and ruthless characters there are in this Mythical Huang Secret Realm...

While thinking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

…

"Yue Ruhuo is a member of the Heavenly Moon Battle Clan, one of the Great Ten Battle Clans. Six hundred years ago, he already had the foundation to rank among the top three of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings."

Outside, Taishu Hong, the leader of Mythical Huang Dao Court, spoke slowly, "Originally, my Mythical Huang Dao Court was going to rank him, but an old monster reminded us that this guy would rather fight for first place than second place. If he was not qualified to be ranked number one, then his name should never be included on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings.”

The All Heavens Saint-King Rankings were published by Mythical Huang Dao Court. As soon as Taishu Hong mentioned this, the other Emperors present immediately showed odd expressions.

Yue Ruhuo!

This boy was indeed extraordinary...

"Jin Duyi can block a strike from this boy, which means that he is also not simple,” Xia Xinglie added calmly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. However, no one disputed that statement because they had also witnessed Lin Xun blocking Yue Ruhuo's sword strike just now.

Another Emperor whispered, "This is just the beginning. Really powerful geniuses will not easily get into a life or death fight. Wait and see. The more time passes, the more exciting this selection will be."

"Yes, only after the great waves can true gold be found. Only towards the end will we be able to see just who are the most dazzling geniuses in the Supreme Saint-King Stage.”

"I am looking forward to Mi Wuya's performance."

"Zhi Bai is not bad either."

"Haha, I am more interested in some anomalies, such as Jin Duyi, the little guy from the Xuan Clan, or other little monsters from other worlds in the starry sky..."

"Yes, only a competition with surprises and unexpected events will be interesting to watch.”

...

While the outside world was discussing the events, the Mythical Huang Secret Realm was filled with a fierce, depressing, and tense atmosphere.

In every area, there were fierce fights that occurred one after another. Most of them involved groups hunting down individuals, but occasionally one-on-one duels would occur too.

No matter who it was, they all used their best means and went all out.

The shouts of unwillingness, the roars of anger, and the desperate screams that were elicited when being eliminated...were being played out in different places in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm.

Those who were able to participate in this were all considered top-notch talents in the world and the best among those at the perfect Saint-King Stage.

Everyone had their own talents and trump cards. Thus, the battles being staged were often extremely tragic and fierce.

In fact, some peerless figures who had originally been favorites were defeated and eliminated.

There were also some seemingly inconspicuous and unknown characters who burst out with amazing power and launched a counterattack...

Unfortunately, only a very small number of them could turn things around.

A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow.

A truly great reputation was by no means false. For example, peerless monsters, such as Huangfu Shaonong, Ling Hongzhuang, Zu Feiyu, Yan Yurou, Tu Qianjue, who were ranked in the top ten of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, all performed extremely well.

Even when being besieged by a group, it was possible to escape safely!

Within these battles between prestigious behemoths, Lin Xun's performance was considered neither amazing nor unnoticed.

He had been moving forward cautiously as he searched for hints of Jintian Xuanyue.

Along the way, he had witnessed countless bloody fights, but he did not get involved.

This wasn’t because he wasn’t interested in stealing the life talismans. In fact, he was aware he could always snatch them later, but if Jintian Xuanyue was eliminated now, then there was no going back.

Furthermore, this assembly had just begun so there were many participants, making confrontations commonplace. As more time passed and more people were eliminated, the remaining survivors were destined to be the best of the bunch and more terrifying.

Of course, those who were able to survive longer likely would have accumulated a large number of life talismans!

This was also an opportunity for Lin Xun. By then, if he eliminated an opponent, he could win multiple life talismans!

Boom~~

Two days later, Lin Xun, who was moving forward, suddenly noticed a shocking sound coming towards him.

This was a fight, and it was not a small one either!

In the past two days, he had witnessed many similar things, so it was not surprising. He originally planned to detour and stay away from it, but soon he stopped, frowned, and a chill flashed in his pair of deep black eyes.

Silently, he approached.

In front of him was a barren field, where a battle was breaking out, and there a group of five besieging a group of two.

The leader of the larger group was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe with gray mist steaming all over his body. His aura was arrogant and domineering. It was Wu Huang!

The four people around him were all unfamiliar faces that Lin Xun had never seen before. Two were men and two were women. They all had strange and obscure auras, and were extremely fierce.

Lin Xun, who was familiar with the methods of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, judged at a glance that the four people around Wu Huang were also from this sect!

There are so many Emperors on the outside, so how could they not tell that Wu Huang and his group are from one of the Three Dark Giants?

Yet, if they know, why are they allowing people from the Three Dark Giants to participate?

There must be a secret unknown to others!

When he identified the two opponents who were fighting fiercely against Wu Huang and his group, Lin Xun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

They were Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing, who were both among the top ten from Cloud State. They had come to participate in the Dao Debate Assembly along with Lin Xun.

According to Lu Dubu, Wu Huang, Teng Yichen, and Gui Shanxing had already formed an alliance and decided to work together.

However, these two people were now being besieged by Wu Huang!

Without even thinking about it, Lin Xun knew that Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing had been tricked by Wu Huang!

If it were anyone else, Lin Xun wouldn't have cared, but Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing were like him and were from Cloud State. The entire Cloud State cultivation community was counting on them. If they were betrayed by Wu Huang and the others like this, it would be too infuriating.

Boom!

On the battlefield, Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing were surrounded and suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads. They looked extremely exhausted and were already wounded.

Wu Huang stood proudly on the side with his hands behind his back as he directed the attacking group.

The other four attacked frantically together, and each strike they launched was extremely powerful. They were working together to take down Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing, who were in a dangerous situation as they could be defeated at any time.

"The two of you should stop resisting. These are the selections. If I don't eliminate you now, then you will definitely be eliminated by the others. Instead of doing that, it's better to give me your life talismans."

Wu Huang looked cold and indifferent.

Although he was participating in this as someone selected from Cloud State, he had never considered himself a Cloud State cultivator!
