The Prodigies War

Chapter 739: The Bow of the Magi Brute Race

Amidst the deadly atmosphere, Zhao Xingye’s graceful and straight figure appeared.

Her beautiful but unfathomable eyes scanned the audience, and everyone felt an indescribable pressure bearing down on them.

Bloodthirsty Queen!

Qing He and other Magi Brute experts felt their hearts sink to the bottom of their chests when they recognized Zhao Xingye. Their faces turned deathly pale.

They finally understood why Lin Xun was so fearless and why the arrow contained such extraordinary and terrifying power.

It was all because of that woman!

She was a dangerous woman who had instilled fear into the Magi Brute Race for thousands of years!

They even believed that, even if it was a direct confrontation, King Yan Qiong was no match for the woman.

“Go back and tell King Guzhen that I won’t hesitate to retaliate if any brute king dares to come here and cause trouble again!”

To everyone’s surprise, Zhao Xingye didn’t continue to kill, but disappeared with Lin Xun after leaving behind those words.

She killed a brute king with a single arrow, left behind a sentence, and disappeared!

Qing He and the others silently watched Zhao Xingye and Lin Xun drift away. No one dared to stop them. No one dared to speak. It suddenly became palpably silent.

……

On that day, the Magi Brute Camp.

In a tent, a hunched old figure remained silent when he heard the threat from Zhao Xingye. It was a thin old man with sparse hair who was dressed in beast skin.

After a long moment, he sighed, his voice hoarse and deep, “The legendary bow and arrow! Zhao Xingye!”

Several top figures of the Magi Brute Race were seated inside the tent. The weakest were still half-step kings and quite a few were old monsters at the brute king stage.

However, they all wore glum expressions.

Especially when they heard the sigh of the thin old man. Their expressions grew more overcast.

On the same day, Jin Chaoshui, the Brute King of the Gold Tribe, and King Yan Qiong, the Brute King of the Fire Tribe, were both killed. And they both died at the hands of the same woman. The Magi Brute Race had never suffered such a huge blow in the past!

“I thought that we could take this opportunity to wipe out the empire camp in one swoop before the Great Dao Catastrophe comes. I thought we could accomplish things that we had been trying to do for thousands of years. Who would have thought that...”

The old man’s expression was neither sad nor happy. There seemed to be years of experience and knowledge etched into his face and the wrinkles around his eyes. “It’s a pity...”

A brute king frowned and fumed, “If Lin Twelve hadn’t appeared with that bow and arrow then how would all this have happened?”

The name ‘Lin Twelve’ brought a deep frown to all the influential figures. Strong killing intent surged in their hearts.

A teenager had stirred up countless storms in the Blood Kill Battlefield and brought them endless headaches and troubles. The repeated setbacks and defeats they suffered because of him were too unbelievable and infuriating.

“What use is there to complain?” The old man sitting in the main seat seemed to have come to accept the truth. “Ever since the great opportunity descended in the Mulberry Woodland, our army has lost four brute kings. We can’t let this continue.”

All the influential figures exclaimed in shock, “Don’t...don’t tell me we have to compromise with Zhao Xingye!”

“That woman is already bloodthirsty, and now she has a peerless treasure in her hand. If we fight her head-on, even if we exhaust our strength, our side will still suffer huge losses in the end.” The old man tottered to his feet and walked towards the outside of the tent, hunched over. “Issue the order that from today on, we will temporarily ceasefire.”

As he was speaking, he had already left.

But even though he was gone, his indifferent words weighed heavily on the hearts of every influential figure in the camp. Regardless of how sullen and depressed they felt, they had no choice but to accept it.

This was because the old man was King Guzhen, an old monster at the ruler level of the Magi Brute Camp!

His words were like a decree; no one dared to disobey it!

……

On that day, Bloodthirsty Queen Zhao Xingye launched a strong attack, killed two brute kings, and forced King Guzhen to agree to a ceasefire!

The news caused a huge sensation when it was brought back to the eight camps of the empire. Every cultivator erupted with joy and excitement.

For some time, the Magi Brute Army had frequently invaded their territories and added to the tense and oppressive atmosphere over the empire camp. Everyone felt a looming danger during that period.

Everyone was worried about whether the remaining supplies and resources would sustain the camp if a full-scale war broke out.

Now, it was no longer a problem!

Why would they not be celebrating? The doom and gloom in the past few days had been swept away, replaced by a joyous atmosphere.

“Commander Zhao is so amazing! She easily killed two brute kings and forced King Guzhen to bow his head. Her divine powers are comparable to the brilliance of the sun and the moon!”

Many empire cultivators cheered for Zhao Xingye, admiring her to the point of worship.

“From what I know, Commander Zhao was able to succeed because of the great help of Young Master Lin.”

“Is that true?”

“I can tell you that, when Commander Zhao killed the two brute kings, she was wielding the legendary bow and arrow that belongs to Young Master Lin!”

“That’s right, according to the report sent back from the frontline, King Guzhen made the decision to ceasefire because he was extremely afraid of the power of the bow and arrow!”

“I see. Then that means Young Master Lin also deserves a share of the credit!”

Similarly, stories about Lin Xun’s generous help in lending the bow and arrow also spread like wildfire.

The cultivators highly praised Lin Xun for his devotion to the empire and his righteousness. They even viewed him as a role model for the soldiers of the empire.

However, when Qin Chu heard the news, he fumed so badly that he almost spewed out blood.

He had also requested to borrow the bow and arrow, but Lin Xun refused to let him without any hesitation. How the hell is he devoted to the empire?

How can he be a role model for the empire soldiers?

Pah!

Why does he deserve such high praise?

The more Qin Chu thought about it, the more indignant he became. Particularly when he thought about the stab in the back from Zhao Xingye.

However, no matter how he seethed with anger, Lin Xun was on the crest of a wave. He was enjoying great respect and praise from countless cultivators in the army camp.

On the contrary, Qin Chu suffered a torrent of abuse behind his back after someone leaked the fact that he had forcefully tried to borrow Lin Xun’s bow and arrow. His reputation plummeted as a result.

Qin Chu’s face contorted with fury. He hated the fact that he couldn’t slaughter all those who criticized and mocked him behind his back.

……

On the night they returned to the 7th camp.

Zhao Xingye specially summoned Lin Xun to a hall and then took out the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow with a rare grave and serious expression. “There is a big problem with this pair of treasures. It is best not to use them unless it is a critical juncture of life and death. Otherwise, there will be repercussions!”
