The Prodigies War

Chapter 733: Sacrifice Life Heroically

Deep in the night.

In Lin Xun’s room, Abi was crouching on the ground, emptying bottle after bottle of wine. Tears were streaming down her face constantly.

She had been the same ever since Lin Xun told her about Hu Tong’s death. It was as though she had lost her soul.

Lin Xun was quietly sitting on the other side with complex emotions swirling in his heart.

Hu Tong had died.

His corpse was found on the battlefield, and it was already mutilated when they discovered it. His eyes, nose, heart…all parts of his body had been taken away as spoils.

Lin Xun couldn’t believe his eyes when he found Hu Tong’s body.

A top figure of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, a veteran who had fought seven years on the Blood Kill Battlefield had died such a tragic death...

Lin Xun reminisced about the time he and Hu Tong drank together a few days ago and seemed to hear his hearty chuckle in his ears again.

In the end, Abi passed out drunk on the ground, mumbling incoherently. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks even though her eyes were still tightly closed.

Lin Xun lifted her and set her on the bed, while he sat back down blankly.

The departure of life from the world was no doubt the most painful thing.

And how many times had Abi suffered such departure during the years in the Blood Kill Battlefield?

Who could bear the shock, loss and grief of the death of her friends, comrades and fighting partners again and again?

Lin Xun thought of the first time he saw Abi. It was in the middle of the night, but she was kneeling on the ground alone and crying bitterly.

“The Blood Kill Battlefield...The cruelest thing here may not be the fighting, but instead the impact and sorrow brought by the death of loved ones...”

“Everyone may face death. No one can be sure who will die first, but as long as they are alive, they may have to face the bad news of death...”

“The feeling can be deeply experienced in the Blood Kill Battlefield.”

Thoughts streamed through Lin Xun’s mind. Only after a long moment did he draw a deep breath and a resolute glint flashed in his dark eyes. “One day, everything will change…”

“The enemy will be wiped out eventually. The Ziyao Flower will stand undefeated forever!”

Lin Xun was suddenly struck by a flash of realization. Perhaps, Zhao Tailai sent me here to the Blood Kill Battlefield to witness all this.

……

In the following days, the atmosphere in the Blood Kill Battlefield grew increasingly tense. The Magi Brute Army was frequently mobilized. They roared above the battlefield, becoming more active and belligerent than ever.

Meanwhile, the empire strengthened the line of defense and turned from offense to defense.

Even so, their situation didn’t look optimistic.

All cultivators were aware that they had limited resources, and they could barely last until the next opening of the passage to the empire.

Because of that, they avoided engaging in a large-scale war with the enemy. Otherwise, the lack of supplies could lead to internal strife, and the army could collapse before the enemy attacked.

The Magi Brute Race took advantage of this opportunity to frequently dispatch huge armies to deal heavy blows to the empire camps.

The situation was precarious!

Even Lin Xun understood that.

The number of casualties in the 7th camp had significantly increased, and the shadow of death was cast over the hearts of every empire cultivator.

The atmosphere within the camp grew increasingly depressing and oppressive, and the tension was high.

……

One day.

Blood Kill Battlefield, Silver Snow Ridge.

“Kill!”

As a Magi Brute Army of thousands passed through Silver Snow Ridge, a strong figure charged out, wielding a heavy sword.

The Magi Brute Army was startled at first before they roared with laughter.

Disdainful expressions crossed their hideous faces. A female cultivator stupidly jumped out here! Does she think that’s an ambush? She is just going to die!”

The situation indeed seemed a bit absurd. The woman threw herself out to deal with an elite army of thousands of magi brutes, making her seem so small and incompetent.

Unexpectedly, she fearlessly charged forward like a gust of powerful wind, facing the magi brutes head-on.

Her chestnut-colored hair whipped about in the wind, and sharp fiendish qi undulated from the heavy sword in her hand. She resembled a brave, fearless warrior fighting to the death.

That person was Abi!

Pu! Pu!

The moment they clashed, two Magi Brute experts were hacked to death right away. Their eyes were still bulging wide with disbelief even at death. It was as though they still found it hard to believe that a woman dared to fight to the death with their army.

Agitated, the enemy troops roared and surrounded Abi like a tide, trying to slaughter her.

Abi’s expression on her beautiful face was so calm that there wasn’t even the slightest ripple. Only her clear eyes were blazing with hatred.

Kill!

She gritted her teeth and made several slashing strokes with her sword like she didn’t care about death. She only wanted to kill as many enemies as possible.

When a person no longer cared about life and death, they either had been forced to the extreme or they had no space to retreat.

But Abi was different; she only wanted to kill the enemy!

Her comrades, friends, and fighting partners had departed from the world one after another, filling her with endless grief and hatred to the point she was close to breaking down.

Rather than living like that, she thought it would be better to die in battle!

Die!

The enemies’ furious roars rang out in rapid succession while blood sprayed in all directions. The world seemed to have become bright red.

Abi felt strangely satisfied and happy despite the horrifying wounds all over her body.

It was as though every enemy she slaughtered helped vent her grief and hatred and allowed her killed comrades to rest in peace!

However, she was by herself. She looked small and insignificant in the face of an army of thousands.

Within moments, she had already suffered heavy injuries and was surrounded like a trapped animal.

She seemed like she could lose her life at any time, but her emotions didn’t ripple in the slightest. She continued to fight fearlessly with all her strength like she had gone crazy.

Her determination and fierceness surprised even the Magi Brute experts.

But soon, their faces reddened with fury. How dare a woman dismiss us?!

Kill!

Infuriated, they struck back with all their strength.

“Hahaha, you are just a bunch of trash! Even if I die today, I will bring you with me!” Abi howled with laughter, tears streaming down her face. Her body was dripping with blood, and the blood had already dyed her gorgeous chestnut hair a striking red shade.

She hadn’t gone crazy. She knew that death wasn’t far away.

But so what?

What was there to fear about death?

Shua!

A bright bone spear slashed through the air with a fierce, unstoppable force, aiming directly for Abi.

She knew that she couldn’t block it, so instead of taking a step back, she rushed forward and lunged her sword towards the owner of the bone spear, completely ignoring the fact that the bone spear could pierce through her chest.

Exchanging a life for a life!

She seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time as she didn’t waver in the slightest.

But the sharp bone spear snapped from the middle before it neared her and the head of the spear owner catapulted into the air.

So fast!

The enemy was killed before Abi reacted.

That…

She stood aghast.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Just as a series of muffled noises sounded from another area, the enemies surrounding Abi had already died on the spot!

Fountains of fresh blood dyed the air a horrifying red.

In the blink of an eye, within a ten-foot radius of Abi, all enemies had collapsed to the ground.

Buzz!

It was then that Abi saw a dazzling white broken blade suspended in front of her like a streak of light, radiating a sacred silvery glow.

“Run!”

Just as the voice rang in her ears, someone grabbed her by the arm and ran.

“Why is it you again?!”

Abi finally saw the familiar face, but she was not touched at all. “Why did you save me? Why do you care that I want to die?”

“Even if you want to die, you mustn’t die in the enemy’s hand!”

Of course, Lin Xun had come. His expression was calm, and his voice was very calm, but there was an unquestionable authority.

Abi fought to break free from Lin Xun’s grip.

A group of Magi Brute experts thundered behind them, “Chase after them!”

It would be the greatest embarrassment if we let them escape!

“Kill!”

They frantically tried to catch up to them like the tide.

However, the army of Magi Brute experts might have had huge numbers, but they were all Brute Warrior-level experts.

In Lin Xun’s eyes, such a level of power was nothing special anymore.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The Broken Blade slashed through the air without obstruction, sprinkling dreamy light over the area. Meanwhile, Magi Brute experts were beheaded on the spot in succession.

So sharp!

The Broken Blade appeared and disappeared mysteriously like a ghost under the manipulation of Lin Xun’s spirit sense. It fully displayed the amazing power of a spirit weapon.

In just a few breaths, dozens of Magi Brutes experts lost their heads. It was as though a whirlwind had made a clean sweep of them!

Bursts of ear-splitting shrieks and furious roars rang incessantly on the battlefield. The remaining enemies stood petrified with disbelief.

They couldn’t imagine how a youngster could be so terrifying, just like the legendary demon god youngster called Lin Twelve.

The only difference between them was that Lin Twelve was skilled in archery while the youngster before them wielded a mysterious broken blade that was as terrifying as the legendary bow and arrow.

The leader of the Magi Brute Army’s face blanched with horror as he cried out, "No! That guy...that guy seems to be the legendary Lin Twelve!”

His words sent the remaining army into a state of panic. Lin Twelve! How could it be him?

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already gone far into the distance with Abi.
