The Prodigies War

Chapter 722: Bring Humiliation Upon Themselves

Before leaving, the empire cultivators informed Lin Xun that many bad rumors about him were circulating in recent days, and they made almost all the empire cultivators worry about him.

The Magi Brute Race were certain that Lin Xun would no doubt be killed since he was being hunted down by three half-step kings.

That was indeed true.

From yesterday until now, every cultivator of the empire was incredibly concerned about the life and death of Lin Xun. Their hearts weighed heavier and heavier as they waited for news about him.

Under such circumstances, the Magi Brute experts appeared extremely active.

“When that Lin Twelve is slaughtered, all their hopes and efforts will come to nothing!” Many Magi Brute Race experts said the same thing.

The most outrageous thing was that Ying Qiao, the young master of the Darkness Tribe imperial family gathered many experts and declared that Lin Xun had been executed, fanning the flames. He tried to attack their morale using such a despicable method.

Although the method was despicable, it was very effective. All the cultivators of the empire were left upset and furious, and their morale took a hit.

“That means everyone, both the empire and the Magi Brute Race, think that I am dead?” Lin Xun’s black eyes glinted.

The cultivators nodded.

“Ying Qiao…”

When Lin Xun thought of this person, he also thought of Liu Wen who betrayed the empire and murderous intent filled his heart. “Can you do me a favor?” he asked.

“Young Master Lin, just tell us.”

“Help me spread the message, tell all the half-step kings of the Magi Brute Race that death is coming for them!”

Si!

Everyone gasped audibly, trembling inwardly.

……

In an area of the Mulberry Woodland.

“It’s been a day since there’s been any news about Lin Twelve. He must have died. What a pity. I wanted to learn the mysteries of the supreme path from him, but I guess…I have to give up on that,” Ying Qiao sighed.

Then, he grinned, “But it doesn’t matter, there are countless opportunities hidden everywhere in the Mulberry Woodland. If I search carefully, I will discover such opportunities sooner or later.”

He suddenly rose to his feet and his eyes glowed brightly. “Everyone, Lin Twelve’s death will definitely have an impact beyond our imagination. He is not only a young genius who has set foot on the supreme path, but he is also a rune founder in the empire. His death will no doubt be a heavy blow to the cultivators of the empire!”

The nearby Magi Brute experts nodded in agreement.

Ever since Lin Twelve appeared in the Blood Kill Battlefield, he had killed a half-step king and many top Enlightened Spirit experts. The sensation he caused cast a shadow over the entire Magi Brute Camp and caused a grip of fear in them.

He had become a dazzling new star in the empire camp. He was a heaven-defying monster known throughout the Blood Kill Battlefield.

The death of such a genius youngster would no doubt be an unbearable loss for the empire!

“Young Master, what do you plan to do?” Liu Wen asked, acting very proactive.

His ingratiation disgusted the other Magi Brute experts. They only found him despicable and shameless.

However, Liu Wen didn’t care. He only knew that, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Magi Brute Camp in the future, he had to please Ying Qiao.

“Continue to build momentum! Spread the news of Lin Twelve’s death throughout the Mulberry Woodland. The greater the noise, the greater the blow it will be to the human empire!”

Ying Qiao smiled smugly and didn’t try to hide his opinion. Their methods might be a little unhonorable, but this was a war between two camps. As long as they could demoralize the human race, it didn’t matter whether their methods were honorable or not.

The Magi Brute experts all agreed, “Then let’s do that!”

They quickly launched into action, splitting up in the Mulberry Woodland and spreading the news everywhere.

They were so proactive mainly because Lin Xun had dealt far too many blows to the Magi Brute Race and they wanted to vent their bottled-up anger.

A Heaven Ascension Stage teenager with a mysterious bow had made even half-step kings fear him somewhat. That feeling was too difficult to bear.

There had been no news of Lin Xun ever since he was being hunted down by three half-step kings. Therefore, they were convinced that Lin Xun had been eliminated so they didn’t hesitate to spread the news.

“Lin Twelve is dead! How useless is the empire? It’s so sad that you failed to even protect a young genius!”

“Haha, what young genius? He is worse than a chicken! He isn’t even worth mentioning. Now that he is dead, what can you do?”

Similar news began to spread like a storm in the Mulberry Woodland. The Magi Brute experts were all elated and in high spirits. It was the greatest news to them, enough to make them clap and cheer.

“Haha, is he the so-called genius of your empire? He’s nothing special.”

“Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, not only Lin Twelve but all the bastards in your empire will also be slaughtered!”

Some more unbearable words came from the mouths of the triumphant Magi Brute experts.

They felt so satisfied to be able to vent their pent-up anger after such a long time.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the empire fell into great turmoil. They were all burning with wrath, mournful and helpless. The news of Lin Xun’s death was indeed a huge blow to them.

“You have gone too far!” Top General Xia Houjie roared in fury when he received the news. His voice quaked the world and struck terror into people’s heart

But his response only made the Magi Brute experts more complacent. King Yan Qiong remarked disdainfully, “The noisy ones are the most incompetent!”

While a storm was raging, a piece of shocking news came out—

“Young Master Lin is not dead! He showed up today and killed Teng Hai, a half-step king of the Wood Tribe!”

The clamorous discussions came to an abrupt end.

The smug Magi Brute experts fell deadly silent, horror-struck.

The slap in the face came as fast as a tornado, catching them off guard!

Even the cultivators of the empire were a little dumbfounded. Lin Twelve is not dead? Did he kill the half-step king Teng Hai?

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We have dispatched three half-step kings this time, how can that kid still be alive?”

The higher-ups of the Magi Brute Race thundered as they did everything they could to find out the reliability of the news.

Even Ying Qiao, who was secretly fueling the flames, donned a cloudy expression. How could this be? Is that kid’s life that tough?

Soon, the news was confirmed. Teng Hai was indeed dead. He had been pierced by an arrow and exploded like fireworks.

The Mulberry Woodland seemed to have been swept by a catastrophic earthquake. All Magi Brute experts who refused to believe the news were petrified and almost broke down.

How could that be?

Every Magi Brute expert turned ashen-faced upon hearing the news and looked as if they were about to vomit blood.

It was too great of a blow!

Just a moment ago, they were spreading the news of Lin Xun’s death, mocking and ridiculing the empire cultivators, and wanted to take the chance to demoralize them.

How would they have thought that a slap in the face would come so soon? It indeed felt like they were slapped hard in the face by an invisible hand. They were burning with pain.

Meanwhile, the empire cultivators were cheering with wild joy. He didn’t die! Lin Twelve didn’t die!

Not long ago, they were depressed, furious and helpless, but now it had been completely reversed!

“Hahaha, Young Master Lin is so amazing!”

“Those Magi Brute bastards are blind! How dare they claim that Rune Founder Lin was killed? How ridiculous!”

“Hey, I’m curious to know what kind of expressions are on those bastards’ faces now. They were so arrogant and smug before! Hahaha!”

The empire’s side was buzzing like never. Everyone was cheering with excitement, and their morale was greatly boosted.

“Have you noticed that there hasn’t been any news about the three half-step kings who tried to hunt down Young Master Lin? Now that Young Master Lin is confirmed to be alive, does that mean that he also killed those three?”

The speculation caused another commotion. The faces of every top figure of the empire morphed into shock.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Magi Brute Race was frozen in disbelief and horror.

If Lin Twelve is alive, doesn’t that mean the three half-step kings, Mu Lingfeng, Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue, who were chasing him down...

They couldn’t bear to think about it.

Who would have imagined that Lin Xun would survive and once again demonstrated his demonic power, killing another half-step king, Teng Hai? Even Mu Lingfeng and the others might have died at his hands.

As many as five half-step kings of the Magi Brute Race had died at the hands of Lin Twelve!

It was an amazing number. After all, a half-step king was a top-level power within the Magi Brute Race, second only to a true king.

The fact that five half-step kings died at the hands of a Heaven Ascension teenager was no doubt a huge blow to the Magi Brute Race!

The discussions and commotion shook the world like landslides. Even Top General Xia Houjie was laughing endlessly and singing praises for Lin Xun.

The arrogant King Yan Qiong fell silent. The outcome also caught him off guard.

Ying Qiao and other Magi Brute experts were all stupefied, unable to speak for a long time.

They had been fanning the flames in the dark and building up momentum. How would they have thought that, when their morale was at its highest, there would be such a turn of events? They felt as though they had been pushed from heaven into hell.

The contrast was so great that they almost spit out blood. The momentum they created only made their people more embarrassed and humiliated. Who would be able to stand such a hard hit?

They had shot themselves in the foot and brought humiliation upon themselves!

“Ahhh—”

In the end, Ying Qiao couldn’t bear it any longer and unleashed a furious roar. He quivered with anger and the corners of his eyes almost cracked. “Lin Twelve, I will kill you!”
