The Prodigies War

Chapter 543

A trace of resentment left by an expert from ancient times had survived so many years without being destroyed. Not only that, but it als came back in a new form and possessed consciousness and intelligence!

It was all too unbelievable. It also made Lin Xun very curious because he had a feeling that there had to be some sort of mysterious power concealed within the wraiths’ bodies for them to undergo such a rebirth-like transformation.

Shua!

Black qi shot out from the hilt in the wraith’s hand and crisscrossed in the air, forcing Lin Xun to mobilize the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to dodge. The qi was too fierce and was as sharp as a razor.

There was nothing else he could do. To not reveal his true strength and disguise as a servant, there was a limit to the power he could display.

As a result, he couldn’t do much to the wraith that had strength comparable to a Heaven Ascension expert.

Swoosh!

Lin Xun gritted his teeth. While fending off the wraith, he quietly left the vicinity of the ship.

In truth, everyone was too occupied to pay attention to Lin Xun. The wraith army was too tremendous. There were still thousands of them no matter how many they killed. Their sheer number gave them a bit of a headache.

Moreover, there were powerful experts among the wraiths. Xiao Ran, Zhao Jingxuan, Yun Che, and Su Xingfeng were all locked in battle with them and unable to free themselves.

“Ahh…”

Another female servant suffered a vicious attack. Her chest was ripped open, and copious amounts of blood splattered out. It was a bloody scene.

The most terrifying thing was that as soon as she died, wraiths swarmed towards her and devoured her body.

The terrifying scene made the disciples of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land become more serious. They dared not hold back at all and fought with all their strength.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was already far away from the ship. He was submerged in the depths of the army like a leaf and couldn’t be seen.

Die!

Murderous intent swirled in Lin Xun’s dark eyes. He no longer concealed his strength. He brought out the Broken Blade without any hesitation and swung it rapidly around in a 360 degree arc, slicing everything around him.

Before the dozens of wraiths neared him, they were swept away by the dazzling blade light like a river of stars. Their bodies exploded into baleful qi.

The Nameless Pagoda rotated and buzzed above Lin Xun’s head, producing rays of golden light to sweep away and engulf the baleful qi into the pagoda.

Lin Xun had noticed that the baleful qi would silently corrode a cultivator’s Spirit, and he wouldn’t let such a thing happen to himself.

The marvelous uses of the Nameless Pagoda were revealed at that moment. Although Lin Xun hadn’t subdued or refined the pagoda, he could still manipulate the wonder-gold dao light to engulf and swallow all the baleful qi before it neared him.

Shua!

Suddenly, a wave of black qi came rushing towards him again. It was from the wraith with strength comparable to a Heaven Ascension expert. It had been watching Lin Xun all along and hid within the wraith army, waiting for the chance to launch a sneak attack on Lin Xun.

Evidently, it possessed consciousness and intelligence superior to other wraiths.

However, its sneak attack was doomed to fail because Lin Xun was no longer concealing his true strength. After all, he had left the vicinity of the ship to slaughter the wraith!

Therefore, when he noticed the wraith rushing out, his lips curled upwards in a cold smile. He stepped forward and swung the Broken Blade.

Bang!

It easily crushed the black blade qi. At the same time, Lin Xun performed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, arriving before the wraith. The Broken Blade erupted in dazzling star-like light and slashed down with incredible speed.

The wraith seemed startled as it had never expected its opponent to become so fierce all of a sudden.

It subconsciously sensed something was wrong and wanted to flee.

However, it was one step too late. With a puff, the wraith split into two!

However, it did not die. Instead, it let out a shrill scream and uttered something in a dry and hoarse voice. Its words were cryptic, difficult to understand, but full of resentment and anger.

Does it know how to speak?!

Quivering inwardly, Lin Xun manipulated the Nameless Pagoda. He sent out rays of mysterious golden light, sweeping the wraith into the pagoda.

“A wraith that knows how to speak and possesses intelligence and Heaven Ascension level strength. I might have found a treasure…”

Lin Xun’s eyes blazed. He still remembered that the hilt in the wraith’s hand was also a mysterious and terrifying treasure!

Rumble!

However, just when Lin Xun was about to turn around and return to the ship, countless terrifying figures charged out from the army, screaming and roaring.

The wraith that Lin Xun attacked clearly had an extraordinary identity within the army. Lin Xun must have poked a hornet’s nest.

Roar!

That was indeed the case. The wraiths charging in his direction were all outrageously strong!

Not only that, but strange voices also sounded from them. It was as though they were demanding Lin Xun to hand over the wraith he had captured.

“Could it be that the wraith’s background is more impressive than I imagined?”

With that thought, Lin Xun manipulated the Nameless Pagoda floating above his head to spew out rays of wonder-gold dao light.

The Broken Blade erupted with star-like light in his hand as it slashed in all directions.

Lin Xun resembled a sword immortal, oozing superiority and the power to slaughter all beings.

Puff

Lin Xun hacked at another wraith. Almost at the same time, the Nameless Pagoda rotated rapidly, engulfing and subduing all the baleful qi formed from the wraith.

Die!

Lin Xun continued to fight in the depths of the wraith army, beheading one wraith expert after another. As for the ordinary wraiths, before they could get close to him, the blade light of the Broken Blade had already crushed them.

He seemed invincible.

After all, he was in the depths of the army and surrounded by wraiths in all directions. It was as though he was encircled. Other cultivators would have been terrified and anxious and would be doing everything they could to break out of the encirclement and return to the ship.

However, Lin Xun was different. The more he fought, the more courageous and stronger he was. He didn’t want to leave.

It was perhaps the only battle at the perfect Spirit Sea Stage where he could fight to his heart’s content. Unlike when he was in the Forbidden City, he didn’t need to suppress himself or restrain himself. The pure and intense fighting spirit was rioting in his heart!

Fortunately, he was situated in the depths of the army, far away from the ship. Moreover, Xiao Ran, Zhao Jingxuan and the others were all locked in a fierce battle and didn’t notice the situation on his side.

Otherwise, if they saw Lin Xun, a servant at the Spirit Sea Stage, display such abnormal combat strength, it would shock the entire Spirit Treasures Holy Land.

After all, the wraith experts were all comparable to Heaven Ascension experts in terms of strength. But they were being ruthlessly harvested like crops at Lin Xun’s hands.

It might seem unbelievable to other people, but it was normal to Lin Xun. After all, he had already killed Heaven Ascension experts when he was in the Ancient Spirit World.

Now, he had reached perfection in terms of cultivation, spirit and physique, and had grasped water imago power. It would be more absurd if he failed to kill Heaven Ascension experts with weapons such as the Nameless Pagoda and Broken Blade.

Die!

Lin Xun’s black hair fluttered in the air, and his entire body glowed brilliantly. The spirit sea in his body was rolling, and the Origin Aeth Artery in his heart was emitting a pure and sacred aura. It was as though an abyss was being awakened, generating heaven-devouring powers.

He was like a young fiendish god—unparalleled and invincible even under the encirclement of the wraith army.

His blood pulsed around his body, and his black eyes were clear, bright and unfathomable. When he was in the Forbidden City, regardless of whom he was fighting against, he had to take too many things into account and had to consider many matters. He felt restrained and couldn’t fight to his heart’s content.

However, in the depths of the Spirit Burial Sea, surrounded by the army of wraiths, he could fight without restraint and threw away all the shackles, concerns and worries. The feeling was too great!

He slaughtered many wraiths in the battle, and many were also suppressed by the Nameless Pagoda.

However, he started to look down on the ordinary wraiths. All the wraiths he suppressed were experts with consciousness and intelligence.

He had imprisoned at least a dozen wraith experts in the pagoda so far. Of course, more of them had died under the Broken Blade.

Huh?

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows. It felt as though sharp swords were slashing towards him from all directions, trying to destroy his spirit!

It was an invisible attack on his spirit. It was too sudden and too terrifying, making it impossible to guard against.

Boom!

He gritted his teeth and operated the Star Cycle of the Little Divine Meditation Art to suppress his Mind-Sea.

Even so, a drop of blood rolled down from the center of his eyebrows. It wasn’t a serious injury, but the situation was extremely dangerous.

If he hadn’t suppressed his mind-sea, the attack would no doubt have damaged his spirit or even obliterated it.

Who did that?

Lin Xun darted away in a flash with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. At the same time, he scanned the surroundings, only to see that the great wraith army was shrouded in black baleful qi. It was impossible to pinpoint the direction of where the attack just now had come from.

He felt a chill down his spine, realizing that there were more powerful beings within the wraith army.

He calmed down and dared not to linger any longer. He bolted toward the ship with all his strength.

However, another silent wave of attack was launched at his spirit. It was as though a sword was about to pierce his spirit!

Moreover, the attack was accompanied by a strange black light, which transformed into a cold and eerie lotus flower and floated down towards Lin Xun.

He froze to the spot, his hair standing on end. A strong feeling of imminent danger flooded his heart. It was only a lotus flower around the size of a palm, but it seemed to contain indescribably bizarre powers that could wither and end all life.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun operated the Little Divine Meditation Art and quickly slashed through the air with the Broken Blade, performing Moon-Catch of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art!
