The Prodigies War

Chapter 307: War Weapons

Chapter 307 War Weapons

Rumble!

The blade glinted like a divine rainbow as it swung in every direction, producing horrifying showers of scarlet blood.

Lin Xun charged across the battlefield and never turned his head around once, nor did he change direction. He had one simple goal: rush into the forested mountains.

He wasn’t afraid of battle, but he realized that the whole nest of enemies had been dispatched, and they intended to kill him outside Yellow Dragon City!

It was unwise for Lin Xun to fight the enemies head-on. He might be invincible for a short period, but once he exhausted his strength, his enemies would take advantage of his weakness and the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, Lin Xun had to first break out of the encirclement and then formulate a plan of action to conserve his strength to the greatest extent.

Die!

Blood splattered and limbs shot everywhere.

It was unknown how many corpses lay around Lin Xun’s feet. He was like the god of death standing atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He had entered the depths of the forest and was about to break through the enemy’s encirclement.

However, a thunderous roar rang in the sky.

Violet Hero Battleships that were several dozens of feet long were whizzing across the sky from afar like giant monsters, crushing the waves of clouds along the way.

Lin Xun’s expression subtly changed. There were five Violet Hero Battleships capable of killing Spirit Sea cultivators!

Lin Xun suddenly let out a long roar and charged forward with all his might!

He no longer held back his strength and his imposing bearing soared once again like the ocean.

He had designed the new Violet Hero battleships, so he knew how terrifying their power was. He could deal with one battleship and knew how to severely damage it, but five battleships were racing towards him.

This was equivalent to facing five Spirit Sea cultivators. It would be extremely difficult to escape let alone inflict heavy damage to the battleships. He would be in life-threatening danger all the time.

Most terrifyingly, the Violet Hero Battleships were flying across the air at an incredible speed. If they caught up to him and fired their cannons at full strength, the consequences were simply unimaginable!

Lin Xun had thought that the enemies wouldn’t dispatch cultivators stronger than the Spirit Dipper Stage, but when he saw five Violet Hero Battleships dispatched together, he realized that he was too naive.

Indeed, he had no opponents stronger than the Spirit Dipper Stage but the five battleships were terrifying, killing weapons that could kill Spirit Sea cultivators.

If controlled well, the five battleships were no different from five Spirit Sea cultivators!

This is too much!

The hatred and anger that Lin Xun had suppressed for a long time were ignited again. He hated the enemies who were stopping him from entering Forbidden City!

However, he wasn’t blinded by the cruelty of reality. He knew that whether or not he could escape was out of his control.

Now, the only thing he could do was—run!

He couldn’t let the Violet Hero Battleships in the sky encircle him!

……

Die!

Lin Xun madly darted through the dense forest like an enraged beast, crushing all the enemies along the way.

Hu—

The bleak sound of a bugle horn sounded in the distance.

Immediately, Lin Xun noticed that the enemies had suddenly stopped encircling him and chose to retreat.

The bugle horn was a signal to withdraw troops.

A thought struck Lin Xun’s mind. He didn’t need to guess to know that the enemies were afraid of the Violet Hero Battleships accidentally slaughtering comrades on the ground.

After all, the power of the cannons on the Violet Hero Battleship was too unbelievable. Once fired, the people on both sides would be in danger.

In truth, a great killing weapon such as the Violet Hero Battleship was generally only mobilized on the front line of large-scale battlefields to launch surprise attacks on the enemies.

It was extremely rare to see them dispatched for one target.

“Would the Violet Hero Battleships in the sky dare to strike if I were to continue fighting the enemies on the ground?” A crazy thought came to Lin Xun’s mind.

However, the cruel reality extinguished his idea.

Following a deafening bang, a pillar of blinding light shot down from above, ripping apart the sky as it sped towards Lin Xun.

Lin Xun didn’t have time to think about it. He just charged forward at full speed in hopes of evading the calamity.

However, all the enemies around his original spot failed to escape in time. The light beam blasted a giant pit into the ground and brought clouds of smoke and dust into the air.

Too ruthless!

Lin Xun inhaled sharply. To kill me, they didn’t care about the lives of their comrades. This is too crazy and ruthless!

Clearly, the enemies want to decide the outcome once and for all with this operation.

They will do anything to win!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Without any hindrance from the enemies, Lin Xun quickened his speed and bolted. He flashed through the forest like a bolt of lightning.

In the sky, the five Violet Hero Battleships had locked onto Lin Xun’s location. They were approaching him at full speed. The dazzling rune light circling the battleships brought an endless sense of oppressiveness and danger.

In comparison, the tattered treasure ship that Xue Jin often drove around couldn’t be compared to such war weapons.

Lin Xun had previously discussed the battleship problem with Xue Jin and Old Mo.

The cultivators in the world often had a love-hate relationship with war weapons created by rune masters. They had conflicted feelings towards them.

They loved that the battleships were extremely powerful and could unleash terrifying strength on the battlefield if controlled perfectly.

However, they hated that such war weapons changed the difference in strength between cultivators.

For example, a Human Dipper cultivator could skillfully control a Violet Hero Battleship and operate the cannons on the ship to kill Spirit Sea cultivators!

How would cultivators not hate that?

In terms of cultivation, Spirit Sea cultivators could crush Human Dipper cultivators but that would change in the presence of such battleships.

Fortunately, the various battleships in the empire were controlled by the upper-level forces and military in the empire. It was impossible to purchase such battleships on the market.

However, some high-clans in the empire possessed such war weapons, but, relatively speaking, they owned only a very limited number of battleships.

Of course, in truth, all the upper-level forces and military of the empire were composed of clansmen from the high clans!

They might be high-ranking officials of the imperial court or generals in the military, but they were also members of the high clans.

This was the reason why the high clans were incredibly powerful. Many clansmen occupied a high and mighty position and controlled and monopolized many resources in the empire. How could they not be powerful?

For example, the six Violet Hero Battleships dispatched by the Chi Family to deal with Lin Xun were all great killing weapons created by the imperial divine workshop. Ordinary aristocratic clans wouldn’t have the ability to get a hold of even one.

Of course, one of the six Violet Hero Battleships had been severely damaged and couldn’t be used on the battlefield.

Otherwise, Lin Xun’s situation would be even more dangerous.

Boom!

While Lin Xun was sprinting at full speed, the five Violet Hero Battleships launched an airstrike.

Beams of blinding light streaked down from above like meteors and flames engulfed the ground.

Instantly, it wiped out zones after zones of dense forest. The flames blazed and the ground was left with several giant pits. Dust and fragments of rock whirled in the air.

Too terrifying!

Lin Xun felt all his hair stand on end. An intense feeling of danger surged in his heart. He repeatedly dodged and narrowly managed to avoid one attack after another without sustaining any damage.

He was like a reptile on the ground and the attacks were like nets trying to capture and kill him.

Everything in the world was changeable. Just a moment ago, Lin Xun was slaughtering all enemies in the way and now he was running for his life.

The Violet Hero Battleships were roaring across the sky, flames were raining down from above, and explosions constantly rang behind him.

He didn’t dare to turn his head around to look. He didn’t dare to think about it. He was afraid that the flames would blow him to smithereens as they poured down.

He was like a bolt of erratic lightning, flickering left and right, front and back as he avoided one attack after another.

His powerful spirit-sensing power allowed him to sense that the danger was drawing closer and closer and the life-threatening feeling was growing stronger and stronger.

He felt like he was dancing on the tip of a blade, drifting between life and death.

He could die at any time!

Rumble—

Suddenly, the firepower seemed to have intensified and the cannon firing reverberated like a thunderstorm.

Lin Xun’s expression dramatically changed. Just as he darted to one side, he felt terrifying waves of heat batter his back, throwing him into the air. His body was set afire and his organs were being torn apart with unbearable pain.

Hu—

He grunted and clenched his teeth. Instead of slowing down, he took advantage of the force to speed up and bolt even faster.

The forest ahead was much sparser. He had almost rushed out of the forested area and would soon be completely exposed to the attacks from the sky.

His situation would be even more dangerous!

However, he had no other choice. He had to continue to charge forward!

He didn’t know how long he could hold on, but he knew that he would die if he gave up!

As Lin Xun madly bolted, his clothes were ragged, his back was charred, and his face marred by dust, sweat and blood.

However, he had the same determined and resolute expression on his handsome face. The thought of giving up had never crossed his mind even in such a desperate situation!

He had experienced many life and death situations and he had been through the torture of death in the Hundred Battles Secret Realm.

All that made him not show the slightest bit of panic or fear even in such a time. On the contrary, his mind was terrifyingly calm.

His mind was as still as a lake of clear water in autumn.
