The Prodigies War

Chapter 928: A Total Wipe Out

Bang!

Hard-to-decipher runes filled the sky, flickering. The densely concentrated runes blossomed with divine splendor.

For a moment, the previously beautiful and somewhat out-of-the-ordinary mountain suddenly woke up, exploding with a brilliant power. This disrupted the weather and illuminated the heavens and earth.

Inside was an entirely different spectacle.

One area resembled fiery oceans of lava with blazing flames and roiling heat waves that surged. Within that world was a vermillion bird spreading its wings. It cried loudly, burning everything around it.

Then there was an area that was boundless and vast, filled with the oppressing aura of a thick power. It had the odor of the supernatural, and an azure dragon coiled around with its fathomless long body as it roared, causing the heavens to shake.

Then there was an area that was pitch black, filled with a murderous intent that covered the space. An exceptionally frightening white tiger opened its grim and apathetic eyes as its killing aura filled the world.

Finally, there was an area where a black tortoise moved around, its legs resembling the pillars of the sky. Every step it took caused the surroundings to subside and sink, creating vast craters.

It was too scary. Everything around them had turned into a scene of Judgement Day!

……

Everyone felt their souls tremble as they were now so scared that cold sweat poured down their bodies, and their hair stood on end.

They had been tricked!

This had been a non-descript mountain, yet something this scary had just appeared. It was quite obvious that this had been an ambush set long in advance.

Many experts tried to flee without any hesitation, but they soon discovered that they couldn’t leave. This was a King-level forbidden array that had been specially placed down by Lin Xun above some aeth essence veins. He had connected it to the power of heaven and earth, so its might was completely out of the ordinary.

“Ah…”

The old gray-haired woman was still screaming, and the sounds were incomparably mournful. It caused everyone’s hearts to shudder. She had been completely submerged within the molten sea, yet was unable to get out. She was being refined inside.

Everyone could clearly see that her clothing, skin, hair, and body had been so burnt that they had turned into liquid, while the rest was being burnt to charcoal. It was a gruesome and shocking sight.

“Damn it, this is a rune array! We have been tricked by Demon God Lin!” another expert howled angrily.

There was no need for an explanation. Everyone here was aware of this fact.

No one could have expected that Lin Xun, who had been seriously hurt during the Dao Lantern Festival by the Longevity Palace, had the crazy ability to put such a frightening formation into effect.

“Damn it!”

The expression on many people’s faces looked dark as regret filled their hearts.

They finally understood why Lin Xun had looked so calm and composed earlier.

In fact, he had provoked them to attack him.

At the time, they had been disdainful as they believed he was trying to make a diversion and trick them. But now, they realized they had been wrong!

They had been gravely mistaken!

Regret overwhelmed them as their expressions turned even odder.

Earlier they had been so arrogant and disdainful, viewing Lin Xun as a flopping fish on a chopping block. In fact, they had competed to see who would kill him first to get first dibs on his treasures.

But now, they were so remorseful that they almost cursed their parents.

“You little brat, once I get out of here, I’m going to grind your bones to dust!” screamed Elder Fengya from another area.

He had been trapped in the Black Tortoise area and was currently being crushed by the giant foot of the tortoise. He was slowly being pulverized alive.

Everyone was overcome with horror.

Just like the old gray-haired lady, Elder Fengya was also an extremely strong half-step King expert, but now he had been completely trapped by the formation. Even though he was struggling mightily, he was unable to break free. This was too scary.

“Old idiot, your greed led you to this, nothing else. Now that you've run into trouble, you hate me instead? Do you still have any face left?

Within the giant forbidden array, Lin Xun’s calm and chilly voice could be heard.

Right now, Lin Xun was controlling the King-level forbidden array. His hands were nimble as he adeptly maneuvered the formation discs, making sure that each area was being operated to its fullest.

Rumble~~~

The power of the array became even more terrifying as the sounds of explosions and sudden claps of thunder echoed in the air.

“My young friend, I want to apologize to you, and I only hope you can be generous this time and let me go.”

In another area was the White Jade Lightning Lion from the Jade Emptiness Temple. It howled in grief. He unluckily had been thrown into the pitch-black area and was currently being chopped away by the killing intent of the White Tiger.

The White Tiger’s killing intent was terrible. As its sharp claws fell, murderous intent filled the air like swords, cutting the White Jade Lightning Lion until it was full of cuts that showed the bone. Blood flowed from its injuries, and it was a sorry sight.

At this time, the other experts had all encountered danger. Some weaker ones had long lost their lives, becoming dust in the wind.

“It’s not as if I can’t let you go. As long as you pledge your soul to mine and become my mount, that’d be enough to atone for your sins, right?” Lin Xun replied calmly.

“In your dreams!” howled the White Lightning Lion angrily, its eyes about to burst from its sockets. It was the protector of the Jade Emptiness temple and had the power of a half-step King cultivator. Yet now it was being regarded as a mere mount by someone of the younger generation. It was a kind of humiliation it could not take.

“Then just wait for your death,” responded Lin Xun apathetically.

He hadn’t been serious earlier. He simply said that to humiliate the lion. If the lion had wanted to defect and become his mount, Lin Xun would refuse.

It was simply an old lion at the half-step King stage. Even if he wasn’t using this formation, he would still be able to kill it. If it were his mount, there was not much he could gain from it.

“Demon God Lin, I don’t have any grievances with you. I beg that you be lenient. I promise I will give you enough reparations to satisfy you!”

“You little brat, you’re going to get your just desserts one day for bullying people like this!”

“Damn it! Damn it ah——”

Within the array, people were screaming, begging, and shouting…all sorts of sounds blended together, sounding as if this was purgatory, and it was a scene that would shock anyone who saw it.

Some experts had already been obliterated, turning into ash.

Then there was another group that was still struggling as they refused to die here.

“Isn’t this an array passed down by the ancestors of the Blue Luan Clan? Don’t you guys have a way to break out of it?” screeched the Black Jade Dragon Elephant.

It had a body as large as a mountain and the power to match the size, yet it had unfortunately fallen into the Azure Dragon area.

Compared to the image of the Azure Dragon, it was like a tiny worm and had been so suppressed that its entire body was rupturing. Blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and it was an incredibly chilling scene.

“This array is from our clan, but since it is a real King-level forbidden array, there’s no way for us to break out of it either!” screamed an expert from the Blue Luan Clan as he struggled in the fiery sea.

Just as the Black Jade Dragon Elephant had pointed out, this array had come from the Blue Luan Clan. However, that only made them feel more despair. They truly understood how terrible this array was. Even king-level experts who were trapped were destined to die.

Furthermore, when they thought about the fact that a treasure from their clan was being used by Lin Xun to suppress them, it made them feel incredibly sullen. They were almost going crazy from anger.

Once the rest of the experts heard this, their hearts sank as incomparable hate and despair descended upon them.

“Ah…”

A soul-shattering scream rang out. The old gray-haired woman had finally been completely refined by the fire, burned away by the fiery sea. Not even bits of bone dust were left behind.

Before long, Elder Fengya also was unable to stand it anymore. The image of the Black Tortoise stomped him to death, causing his body to be smashed into smithereens. A rain of blood appeared.

After witnessing these gruesome deaths, the other experts felt as if their souls were flying out of their bodies, and they became crazed.

They began to beg and plead Lin Xun to let them off this time. There were even folks who vowed blood oaths that they would never make things difficult for LIn Xun ever again.

But Lin Xun acted exceptionally cruel and grim and didn’t say a single word in response.

While on Cangwu Mountain, he had been targeted by the peerless experts within the younger generations who were a part of these people’s clans. He had suffered unceasingly from their suppression and provocations.

If he hadn’t been strong enough, then he would have died a thousand times over!

As for now, these were all bigshots in the West Infinity World, yet none of them cared about their statuses or reputations and instead came over to kill him and steal his treasures. Who could possibly be ok with that?

Before long, the White Jade Lightening Lion died after being sliced into hundreds of pieces by the White Tiger. His corpse was completely mutilated.

Following that, the Black Jade Dragon Elephant also died after being slammed into putty by a single claw of the Azure Dragon. Its death was extremely gruesome and ignoble.

This King-level forbidden array was called the Four Divisions King Array. During this moment, it had displayed enough might to startle the heavens and scare away demons!

……

From a place far away, Xie Yutang was shocked silly, acting as if lightning had struck him. He muttered as if he had gone insane, “How could it be, how could it be?”

They had mustered a giant force, yet a single person had wiped them out. This was too big of a blow for him, and he was unable to accept it.

On the side, Zhuo Kuanglan also felt his vision turn black. He was so mad that he was about to cough up blood. Even after doing this, they were unable to kill Lin Xun, and in fact, their target had seized the opportunity to engineer a complete defeat instead. This made him want to collapse.

Of course, the person who suffered the greatest blow was Qing Lian’er.

Her eyes bugged open, and she was so furious that she trembled all over. She shrieked, “He…he’s too shameless and base! He used a treasure from my Blue Luan Clan that has passed down from the ancestors to do this. I…I…BLEGH!”

In the end, she ended up coughing up blood. She had already been weak before, so now her face had an ashy gray look to it.

They had come to witness Lin Xun being slaughtered before their own eyes, so they didn’t participate in the operation. But once they saw what had happened from afar, their mentalities all suffered a great blow.

“Everyone, it’s time for me to send you all on your way.”

At this time, Bai Lingxi’s graceful and charming figure appeared. She was dressed in snow-white robes that paired well with her stunningly beautiful face. A resplendent sword that was as bright as silver frost was in her hand.

Xie Yutang and the others were suddenly drawn out of their rage and fury.

“Bai Lingxi, we are both from the empire and our two families, the Bai and Xie, have a lot of connections. Are you truly trying to help the tyrant in suppressing others?” Xie Yutang angrily asked.

“I’m not helping the tyrant to suppress others. Instead, I’m helping the Xie Clan get rid of a calamity from its roots. That way your Xie Clan will avoid encountering disaster in the future.”

As she talked, she flashed and began to attack

“If Lin Xun had come, then I’d be a bit more wary, but do you think you can do anything just by yourself?” Zhuo Kuanglan coldly uttered as he also acted along with Xie Yutang to fight against Bai Lingxi.

Qing Lian’er was worried. “Quickly kill her, otherwise Lin Xun will get here soon and it’ll be too late for us to leave!”

Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, a snow-white illusory blade dropped from the sky at a breakneck speed toward her.

Pop!

Qing Lian’er was already incredibly weak, so there was no way she could dodge this. Her head was sliced off, sprinkling blood on the ground.

As for Xie Yutang and Zhuo Kuanglan, they had been in the midst of confronting Bai Lingxi when they witnessed this. It startled them so much that they lost color from their faces and almost lost control of themselves.
