The Prodigies War

Chapter 939: Purple Bell

Chapter 939 Purple Bell

From the gray fog in the distance, palm-sized Phantom Winged Spirit Moths emerged to block out the sun and sky like oppressive storm clouds. 

The sharp hiss reverberating through the world had a direct impact on the spirit. 

Under the cover of the gray fog, they came charging towards the ship to kill! 

Boom!

Kou Xing and the others did not hesitate to attack, launching waves of attacks at the distance like a storm of divine light. 

The spectacle and momentum were astonishing, but the effect was contrary to expectation. 

The Phantom Winged Spirit Moths were approaching them quickly. Regardless of how powerful and frequent those attacks were, they couldn’t obstruct them one bit and allowed them to easily pass through!

Only a small number of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths were crushed into dust. But the number of casualties was almost negligible when compared to the great army of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths that covered everywhere.

It was hard to not feel despair when facing them. Those phantom things were too strange, and ordinary fighting methods were ineffective against them!

“Those are Phantom Winged Spirit Moths, which are formed from spirit power and live on fragments of spirits. Be careful everyone!“ Miss Le reminded.

As she was speaking, she turned her delicate hand over and a string of nine bells was sitting on the palm of her hand. Each one glistened like it was made from polished purple glass and was engraved with ancient patterns such as flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, and rivers. 

The nine bells were strung together by a scorched red rope. A pleasant ring reverberated between heaven and earth as they appeared. 

Halos of bright purple sound waves visibly spread across the area before transforming into thousands of sword shadows and whizzing off. 

Every sword shadow glowed a magnificent purple hue and was imbued with dao meaning power despite them being transformed purely from sound waves.  

The spectacular sight of thousands of sword shadows rushing across the air like real swords no doubt sends chills into the heart. 

Rumble—

Within seconds, a hole ripped through the army of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths that covered the sky. It was unknown how many Phantom Winged Spirit Moths were wiped out on the spot, but their bodies exploded into pieces before dispersing into gray fog. 

Kou Xing and the others froze to the spot, filled with shocked disbelief. They never imagined that a string of purple bells could release such terrifying destructive power. 

Even Lin Xun was amazed. The string of bells in Miss Le’s hands has to be some sort of musical treasure. 

Perhaps, it’s a spirit weapon!

Spirit weapons were cast from divine materials and operated by spirit power so they were unpredictable and unfathomable. They were rarer than king-grade weapons!

“Interesting, Miss Le must have an extraordinary background, but for some unknown reason, she needs to cross the boundary river to get to the East Victory World…” Lin Xun said thoughtfully. 

The purple bells made a clear and pleasant sound as they collided. Rings of sound waves spread and transformed into tangible sword qi or a mysterious secret attack… 

Although it had terrifying destructive power, it was incredibly difficult to eliminate the vast number of moths. They continued to obscure the sky like there was no end to them. 

Kou Xing and the other explorers dared not let their guards down, and their attacks intensified. They knew that if they failed to block a single attack of the Phantom Winged Spirit Moths, they would be instantly wiped out!

“This is bad!” Lin Xun sensed something wrong just as he was about to strike. In the depths of the army of moths he detected the fluctuation of a terrifying aura that resembled that of a king.  

Although the opponent was in hiding, Lin Xun still captured its presence with his incredible spirit power. 

As he expected, as he discovered its presence, a hiss resounded through the sky, sending the clouds and the ground shaking. It came from the depths of the Phantom Winged Spirit Moth army. The power of the sound wave alone could strike an expert to death!

Fortunately, the ship was under the protection of Miss Le’s purple bell, which released purple sound waves to neutralize the attack and prevented Kou Xing and the others from being impacted. 

“Be careful, everyone, a moth king is watching over the army!” Miss Le’s face turned grave. 

A silver creature rose from the depths of the Phantom Winged Spirit Moth army in the distance. Its eyes shone with an eerie glow like blood-colored diamonds even through the gray mist as it cast a glance towards the ship. 

It was incredibly frightening. Despite being only around the size of a palm, it emitted an aura comparable to that of a true king. With a beat of its wings, a silver sound wave of spirit power came to meet the purple bell in Miss Le’s hand.

Swoosh!

Miss Le soared into the air with a flash and quickly manipulated the string of purple bells with all her strength. Magnificent purple light began to circulate her body. 

She had no choice but to face the moth king, otherwise, everyone on the ship might meet with misfortune!

“Everyone, the situation is very dangerous. We must fight with all our strength. Whether we succeed or fail depends on the heavens…” Miss Le sighed softly. 

Kou Xing and the others looked the most solemn they had been. The precarious situation could make many people feel despair.

If they fought with all their strength, they might have a glimmer of hope of winning but if they didn’t they would no doubt die. 

Rumble—

In the blink of an eye, the Phantom Winged Spirit Moths were sweeping towards the ship like a tide. 

Only then did Kou Xing and the others truly realize how terrifying were those unusual creatures from ancient times. They were ferocious, vicious and unafraid of death, and they directly aimed for a person’s spirit!

They fed on the spirit fragments of fallen cultivators and the memories and inheritance arts contained in the spirit fragments would be refined and mastered by them.  

If there were only three or four of them then they would have been easy to deal with, but there was a swarm of them! How would they not feel despair and hopelessness?

“Ah…” a tragic cry pierced the air. 

The ship’s defense had been breached, and a female cultivator desperately tried to fight back but a swarm of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths still covered her from top to bottom. 

Within seconds, her body lay intact on the ground, but her spirit had already been swallowed up!

Kou Xing and the others were so furious and shocked that their eyes almost cracked in the corner. 

The woman was not considered weak at the advanced Cyclic Derivation Stage, but she died an instant death against the enemies. 

“Everyone be careful, protect your spirit!” Scarlet Silk screamed, reminding the others that their comrade died because her spirit was attacked and that slowed her reaction. 

Lin Xun attempted to rescue her, but he couldn’t reach her in time because there were too many Phantom Winged Spirit Moths coming at him from all directions. 

“Damn things!” Lin Xun quickly activated the Little Divine Meditation Art, blocking all sorts of spirit attacks.  

Additionally, he activated the profound art of the Pulao Roar and integrated it into his fist. Instantly, he saw miraculous effects. 

Groups after groups of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths died instant deaths.

“No—!” Not far from Lin Xun, a man yelled in horror, dodging frantically. 

Shua!

A broken blade glinted like snow in the air, and then with a slight flicker, slaughtered all the Phantom Winged Spirit Moths around the man. 

The man’s face lit up with gratitude, but before he could thank Lin Xun, he had already darted to the other side.

Boom!

The Phantom Winged Spirit Moths hissed on the ship, launching frontal assaults on everyone. The situation became more and more precarious. 

This was because this ancient moth species was too peculiar. Since they were transformed from spirit power, ordinary combat arts were completely ineffective against them. 

Although the spirit power of Kou Xing and the others weren’t bad, they lacked arts that targeted the spirit so they fell into a disadvantage as soon as the battle started. 

“Die!”

Lin Xun’s killing intent had been ignited. He quickly activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and maneuvered across the void, destroying Phantom Winged Spirit Moths wherever he passed. He seemed unstoppable. 

At the same time, the Broken Blade flickered in the air. It was manipulated by Lin Xun’s spirit to rescue Kou Xing and the others.

Lin Xun couldn’t let Kou Xing and the others fall into danger. He wanted to go to the East Victory World on the other side of the river, and he still needed them to lead the way.

“Huh?” Kou Xing and the others were flabbergasted. Only then did they realize that the young master called Lin Xia who followed them along the way possessed such mighty powers. He slaughtered everything in his way like he was invincible!

“The kid turns out to be a hidden master!” Scarlet Silk’s charming eyes gleamed. 

“Amazing!” Other explorers cried out, gesturing with excitement and surprise when they saw Lin Xun rescue so many of them within such a short period. 

However, Lin Xun seemed to have poked a hornet’s nest as more and more moths gathered together and charged at him as if they wouldn’t rest until they ended his life. 

Boom!

With a clap of his hand, Lin Xun sent a column of flames rushing forward while stars exploded one after another, transforming into the mysterious power of the Pulao Roar. 

It was an integration of the Combustion Star River and the Pular Roar. 

Hundreds of thousands of moths instantly incinerated and vanished under the terrifying power of the sea of flames. 

Attacks on the spirit might be terrifying to many, but to Lin Xun, whose spirit power had reached the level of spirit flower convergence, they were nothing special. 

Both the Pulao Roar and the Broken Blade had an innate restraining effect on species formed from spirit power. 

As a result, Lin Xun was like a sharp blade, invincible, indestructible and unstoppable. 

Kou Xing and the others were speechless already. He isn’t a master in acupoints and pulses, but instead a peerless expert!

They knew that they had underestimated the young man called Lin Xia!

Even Miss Le’s face was alight with surprise even if she was currently dealing with the moth king. 

But soon, she had to focus and not be distracted because the power of the moth king was too terrifying. 

Meanwhile, Lin Xun couldn’t help but furrow his brows. “No, there are too many of them. it’s impossible to kill them all. I can’t let this go on like this…”

His gaze turned to the moth king whom Miss Le was dealing with in the distance.
