The Prodigies War

Chapter 696: The Bow Frightens the World

Bang!

When She Zhen launched an attack, Lin Xun also fired an arrow without hesitation.

The series of movements, from bending the bow to pulling back the string to releasing it, seemed to be completed with unbelievable speed.

But, what no one noticed was that, before Lin Xun fired the arrow, all the Heaven Ascension power within his body was mobilized to its limit!

In other words, he had gathered all his strength without reservation into that arrow.

Boom!

Instantly, the wailing of ghosts and gods and the howling of wind and thunder shook the world. Then, a mysterious pattern spread across the bow body that was constructed from numerous bones and skeletons.

In the pattern, great suns were sinking and golden crows were being pierced one after another, staining the sky with blood before plunging into the blue sea.

Behind Lin Xun, an imposing figure took shape, adopting the same stance as him. It drew the bow and fired an arrow like an ancient archery god descending upon the world.

Rumble!

The power from the arrow instantly crushed the blood-colored lightning launched by She Zhen, reducing it into a shower of light.

“This is bad!” She Zhen was so shocked that his eyeballs almost rolled out of their sockets, and his soul almost left his body. How would he have thought that something so terrifying would happen?

At that dangerous critical moment, he roared with all his strength while blood-red lightning rumbled all over his body, flickering like a waterfall. He activated his cultivation base to its peak.

At the same time, a beast bone shield emerged in front of him to block the attack. It was his self-defense treasure, which he only brought out in a situation of life and death.

However, the battle had only just begun yet he already had to bring it out! Suddenly, panic rose within him.

How can a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage be so strong?

But that deadly dangerous aura is unmistakable!

Boom!

The incoming attack was so fast that She Zhen didn’t have the time to think before the bone shield exploded in front of him. At the same time, a terrifying force blasted his body like lightning.

He screamed out in agony. His right arm and half of his body ruptured, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. The other half of his body was propelled across the air before slamming to the ground.

Bang!

Rising smoke and dust whirled in the air, while a hole was smashed into the ground. She Zhen couldn’t help coughing up blood like he was on the brink of death.

Everything seemed to have happened very slowly, but in fact, it had ended in the blink of an eye!

Many people couldn’t react in time. All they saw was She Zhen being pierced by an arrow and coughing up blood on the ground.

Too shocking!

The astonishing event had happened so unexpectedly that an eerie silence fell upon the scene.

Everyone’s eyes snapped wide with horror and their pupils shrank.

She Zhen was an Enlightened Spirit expert notorious for being ruthless on the Blood Kill Battlefield and was ranked 72nd on the wanted list!

He had killed countless cultivators from the empire over the years. Even the mention of his name sent many people’s faces pale.

But he had now been critically wounded by an arrow! If he hadn’t evaded in time, he would have lost his life!

The battle had just begun!

Who would believe it?

Moreover, his opponent was a human teenager with the strength of only the Heaven Ascension Stage…

The other Enlightened Spirit experts froze on the battlefield, their expressions dramatically changing.

She Zhen was considered one of the strongest among them, yet he was blasted in half by an arrow!

So terrifying!

If even the Enlightened Spirit experts were so horrified, the other Magi Brute elites imaginably were petrified like statues.

But A'bi, Yang Xiong and the others were equally as stunned and dumbfounded.

She Zhen was defeated by a young master who they thought was incompetent and useless!

He was the youngster whom they despised and who needed their protection along the way!

He…

No words could describe their emotions at that moment. Everyone’s expressions were morphing indefinitely.

Especially Liu Wen. He almost jumped up like he saw a ghost and shouted, “How is that possible...how is that possible...”

But he was unaware that he had completely lost his composure.

Even Yan Chixing and Hu Tong, who were fighting in the distance, seemed to have lost their souls for a brief moment.

Bang!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun fired another arrow.

The wind and thunder raged again and the wailing and howling of ghosts and gods resounded again, stirring the nine heavens.

Behind Lin Xun, the same mighty and majestic figure again made the same motion. It drew the bow and fired an arrow, producing the same spectacular scene as before. The great sun sank below the horizon and golden crows stained the sapphire sea with their blood.

Yan Chixing was scared out of his wits!

He didn’t believe it before, thinking it was an illusion, but when the arrow locked onto him, he finally understood She Zhen’s feelings.

It was a feeling of being stared at by death. The feeling of imminent danger made his blood run cold.

Subconsciously, he gave up on Hu Tong and bolted like a frightened hare.

Boom!

But he still underestimated the terror of the arrow. Instantly, the area below his abdomen was blasted to smithereens, leaving only half of his body and a mist of blood in the air.

That bloody and domineering scene shocked the audience once again.

It’s true!

Everyone finally believed what they saw, because not only She Zhen but Yan Chixing had also been severely wounded by the arrows and almost died a tragic death.

Lin Xun had done this alone!

During the few seconds that he was on the battlefield, he fired two arrows and severely wounded two Enlightened Spirit experts!

None of the Magi Brute experts on the battlefield could keep their composure anymore. They repeatedly erupted into uproars like raging storms.

All of them looked aghast at the young figure wielding a giant skeleton bow in the distance, panic rising.

Who the hell is that guy?

When did such a heaven-defying character appear in the empire?

“The little pretty boy turns out to be so strong! I thought he knew nothing. It turns out that we have been deceived all this time!” A'bi bit her plump lips, her beautiful face skewed with complicated emotions. There was astonishment and disbelief, but also embarrassment and joy.

Yang Xiong and the others were also astonished and ashamed in their hearts. They thought about their attitude towards Lin Xun along the way, realizing that they were the true clowns.

The youngster isn’t a useless young master, but instead a dragon-like existence. While we were stupid ants repeatedly challenging the majesty of the dragon...

They were so ashamed and embarrassed that they wished they could dig a hole and bury their heads.

However, no matter what, Lin Xun’s appearance brought a ray of hope to them. Previously, they were filled with despair and prepared to die, but now, they felt they had come back from death’s door.

“Boss Hu Tong, please come here,” Lin Xun said aloud.

He stood tall, his moon-white robe fluttering around his handsome figure, and his elegant and sharp face filled with detached indifference.

The white skeleton body of the No-Nonsense Bow and the blood-red bowstring emitted a baleful aura that perfectly matched the demon god youngster!

Undoubtedly, Lin Xun had become the focus of attention with the power of his two arrows.

Hu Tong was also shocked beyond words, but he also knew that their situation wasn’t entirely ideal. As a top figure with rich combat experience, when he heard Lin Xun’s words, he acted without hesitation.

He knew that Young Master Lin was their only hope of escaping the situation. But he still felt indescribable emotions.

There was disbelief, guilt, as well as excitement and joy. It was as though an inconspicuous leech that needed their protection had suddenly transformed into a majestic dragon and soared to the ninth heaven!

No one stopped Hu Tong.

All eyes were fixed on Lin Xun. She Zhen and Yan Chixing, although rescued, had sustained heavy injuries and could no longer fight.

However, besides the two were still seven other Enlightened Spirit experts and thousands of Magi Brute elites!

Most importantly, a large-scale totem array had long enveloped the Tiger Canyon area!

In other words, Lin Xun and the others still weren’t too optimistic about their situation.

“I didn’t expect there to be a fierce character like you in the younger generation of the empire.” An old man covered in a mighty blue glow spoke aloud. It was Ju Xun from the Wood Tribe.

As he was speaking, the remaining six Enlightened Spirit experts cautiously approached and surrounded Lin Xun with cold and hostile expressions.

They were caught off guard before and failed to help She Zhen and Yan Chixing, which filled them with shame, anger and fear.

They no longer dared to treat Lin Xun as a mere teenager of the Heaven Ascension Stage. Their faces became as solemn as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

However, they still couldn’t imagine how the teenager could be so heaven-defyingly strong. Could it be...because of the bow in his hand?

While they studied and observed Lin Xun, they sensed the mysteriousness and extraordinariness of the No-Nonsense Bow.

That was normal. After all, She Zhen and Yan Chixing were not ordinary experts in the Enlightened Spirit Stage. They had long made a name for themselves with incredible achievements that they were proud of. How would it not be shocking that both were critically wounded by an arrow?

At least, no one had heard of anything similar happening before.

Therefore, they subconsciously believed that the key was the bow in the youngster’s hand!

Moreover, they indeed detected an obscure and dangerous aura from the huge bow that set their blood leaping!
