The Prodigies War

Chapter 975 Yielding the Divine Arrow

Chapter 975 Yielding the Divine Arrow

After the sound echoed, Xing Yitian fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Blood was oozing out of his seven apertures, which made his originally handsome-looking face look especially malevolent and frightening.

Everyone was startled. The formidable Xing Yitain had been utterly defeated, so they all knew that his opponent had to be a heaven-defying genius.

“You actually injured me!” Xing Yitian howled. He clearly found it hard to believe and was infuriated.

Bang!

He unfurled the wings behind him and blue lightning arced everywhere, forming a dragon-snake made of pure lightning. It charged towards Lin Xun as thundering sounds echoed everywhere, awing everyone who could hear it.

He was truly infuriated now. He had already been a peerless individual and had stepped into the summit at a young age. Furthermore, he had received the inheritance of a saint, so there was no way he had ever been on the backside before.

“It’s your fate to die!” he bellowed as he bent back the bow. With a buzz, a bright and resplendent lightning image appeared, resembling a sacred mountain.

His expression was ashen and twisted. Being defeated like that was a huge humiliation. If news came out, then he wouldn’t be able to show his face anymore.

Buzz!

Once he released the bowstring, a dazzling light blue divine arc of light appeared. It was over a hundred feet long and was imbued with the aura of thunder and lightning.

At the same time, the spirit lightning shadow appeared, puffing out snow-white light that was as sharp as a blade that could cut the void.

Lin Xun’s entire body became imbued with the aura of rushing water as the qi within him exploded. He was operating his cultivation to its very peak.

He now resembled a vast and powerful sea with a boundless and awe-inspiring grandeur that amazed everyone.

As all of this was happening, he suddenly formed a fist and a bizarre palm imprint appeared in the void. A black divine flame spread out and the head of a black phoenix appeared, radiating a divine splendor of extinction.

The Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art!

This was an unrivaled ancient art that was famous for its fighting power in ancient times. It had the extinction ability and the might of a destruction art. It could be considered one of the top killing arts out there.

A few days ago, Lin Xun had spent time comprehending this art. It came from the Great Treasury Silent Scripture. Furthermore, Lin Xun didn’t need to figure things out on his own. Instead, there was a black phoenix explaining and guiding him. This allowed him to get to the proficiency he had today by grasping key mysteries!

The black phoenix drifted around as its graceful wings sent out divine extinction flames, eliminating the arrow in a mysterious and terrifying way.

However, the power behind the arrow was extremely high, and Xing Yitian had been quite furious when he unleashed it. The arrow pummeled through the air and ripped apart the black phoenix, turning into a cascade of light rain.

This surprised Lin Xun, and he realized just how much power was behind that arrow in order to become that big and powerful.

Unfortunately for his opponent, this was exactly what Lin Xun wanted. He gestured with both of his hands and activated the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art again in order to polish and temper his understanding of it.

Rumble!

Chaos erupted. The silver lake had completely evaporated, and the earth around them was now filled with deep cracks and crevices. As for the observing experts, they had long taken the opportunity to withdraw far away for their own safety.

“It’s Older Brother Lin Xun!” shouted Xiaohe excitedly from the far end of the lakeside within the King-level forbidden array.

“Young Master Lin Xun is truly unharmed. However, his opponent is quite powerful, just who is he?” Kou Xing and the others were at first pleasantly surprised before their expressions became serious. They could tell that Xing Yitian was quite strong.

“Of course it’s Xing Yitian,” stated Miss Le as her eyes narrowed and understanding dawned on her face.

Bang!

Within the void, the lightning spirit shadow howled. As if it was alive, it slashed down with a lightning hammer, making the black phoenix dim before it was destroyed.

At the same time, another light blue arrow shot forth, charging toward Lin Xun ferociously. It was extremely tyrannical and left a bright electric arc as it traveled through the air.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly. He had only mastered the surface of the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art and could only display about a tenth of its true power. Otherwise, it would not have been destroyed that easily.

Buzz!

Shortly thereafter, the imposing aura surrounding him shifted, and a magnificent black Buddhist light appeared. It was solemn and dignified, looking as if a Buddha had come to life.

Everyone observing absently thought that the current Lin Xun was united completely with the heavens and earth. He resonated with the surroundings as dao sound echoed from him with the chanting resembling thunder!

This was the Earth Treasury Temple’s Great Earth Treasury Scripture’s inheritance!

Bang!

His palm pressed down, and a black buddhist seal condensed and appeared within the void.

Immediately, a giant vajra appeared, looking as if it could never be eliminated. The wisdom it emitted filled the universe and felt as if it could crush the void.

“The Earth Treasury Temple’s inheritance?” Miss Le was astonished and quickly realized that Lin Xun had gotten many other opportunities besides the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art within that old Buddhist temple!

What surprised her the most was that both of the techniques, whether it was the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art or the Earth Treasury Temple’s inheritance, had very strenuous requirements on the practitioner.

For example, those who had not awakened the Celestial Phoenix bloodline would find it almost impossible to learn the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art.

Yet for Lin Xun, this kind of restriction had been smashed apart!

Thump thump thump~~

The Buddhist seal covered the area and collided with the light blue arrow, causing the area to shake and tremble. A buzzing sound appeared, and finally, the arrow was smashed apart as its mournful cry echoed everywhere.

“How could…this happen?!” Xing Yitian was furious and startled at the same time. This time he had not held back and used all of his power, yet it had still been broken!

With a swish, Lin Xun rushed over through the void. Under his feet, black lotus flowers appeared, revealing a divine splendor full of Buddhist aura.

This was A Lotus Under Each Step! Legend had it that when the Buddha traversed the void, lotuses would pave the way.

Xing Yitian finally realized that he had gotten into a sticky situation. His opponent’s power level had vastly exceeded what he had expected.

“Next time I’ll kill you!” He was feeling uneasy. Even though it was humiliating to do so, he decided that it was best to retreat for now.

Although he was arrogant and conceited, he wasn’t a hothead. Now that things had come to this, he had become wary and aware that the situation was not in his favor anymore.

Buzz~

He shook his lightning wings and turned around.

However, Lin Xun was incredibly fast and had caught up within moments. He lifted his hand and slammed down!

This palm had a faint charm and grace to it but also held an aura of destruction.

Xing Yitian sensed something was off, so he shot out another explosive arrow without hesitation.

A world-shaking sonic boom exploded as Lin Xun’s attack was destroyed, but at the same time, a Hornless Ice Dragon soared up. It was snow-white and drifted through the void imposingly.

Pop!

Xing Yitian was sent flying, and many bones in his body had been snapped clean. Blood showered everywhere.

Everyone stayed silent as the atmosphere turned oppressive.

The strong and aggressive Xing Yitian was being suppressed this easily?

No one could quite believe it.

By now, there was no suspense left in the fight. Although Xing Yitian’s servants rushed over to help when they saw the situation turn against him, it was too late.

Within ten moves, Xing Yitian screamed shrilly as he had almost lost his life to Lin Xun’s Great Earth Treasury secret technique. Serious wounds dotted his body, and he was on the verge of death.

Tinkle!

At the same time, Lin Xun had finally grabbed onto an opportunity and had firmly captured the light blue arrow.

But this arrow acted as if it was intelligent and refused to submit. It began to struggle forcefully and was actually more powerful than Xing Yitian.

Caught off guard, Lin Xun almost had his finger snapped by the arrow!

His heart trembled, and then he immediately sent it into the Nameless Pagoda to be suppressed.

Even so, the arrow had actually thrown off the wonder-dao gold light and was currently rampaging around in the pagoda. It looked extremely marvelous and domineering.

“You idiot! This arrow is a divine object from the ancient era. Even king-level freaks would have no way to suppress it. Just wait until you meet your doom!”

Although Xing Yitian was gravely injured, when he saw this, he couldn’t help from sneering.

He was too well aware of the might of the arrow. In ancient times, it had once shot down a giant sun from the sky, so it was incredibly frightening.

Anything that tried to suppress it was destined to be devoured instead!

“Is that so?”

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xun’s lips as his heart palpitated. The No-Nonsense Bow appeared within the Nameless Pagoda. The body of the bow looked as if it had been cast from the dead white bones of humans, and it emitted an icy-cold mysterious air from it.

Within an instant, the light blue arrow suddenly stopped as if it had felt something that shocked it. It was now quietly shuddering and trembling.

Immediately, Lin Xun felt himself relax while he was exclaiming inwardly. The arrow could only be suppressed by the No-Nonsense Bow, so it was obvious that it was a special treasure.

At the same time, Xing Yitian sprayed out a large mouthful of blood as his mind pulsated with pain. He could sharply sense that the connection he had with the light blue arrow had been cut off.

How could this happen?

He was overcome with shock and almost collapsed on the spot.

The only reason why he had been able to use this arrow was because a Saint had set a mysterious imprint inside his body, but now that the imprint had been shattered!

“Die!”

Lin Xun sped over brutally.

But before he could get near, he saw that a frightful golden light was exploding from Xing Yitian. In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.

The Golden Cicada talisman!

Lin Xun frowned.

“People like him are like the dragons that rule the sky. Defeating them may not be hard, but killing them is incredibly difficult!” Miss Le sighed inwardly.

She had long predicted that this would happen.

After all, Xing Yitian was the leader of the Lightning Wing Clan’s younger generation. The clan had great hopes for him. If he died, then the upper levels of the Lightning Wing Clan would come out as a force and slaughter indiscriminately.

It wasn't as if something like this hadn’t happened before in the past.

Once a clan had a grudge against someone, then they would try to rip the other person up by the roots and would attack the other person’s foundations.

Because so many similar scenarios had happened, people like Xing Yitian were carefully protected by their clans. There absolutely could not be any accidents regarding him.

“Just you wait! One day, I will definitely settle this debt with you!” Although Xing Yitian had left, the void still resounded with his last bitter and angry shout.

“I need to figure out a way to get out of this…” Lin Xun muttered to himself.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he encountered many similar situations. In the end, his opponents would use all sorts of nasty methods to counter him.

There was Yu Lingkong, now Xing Yitian, which meant that there would be even more in the future.

Lin Xun was quite aware that as long as his enemies were still alive, they were a hidden element of danger. If more things like this happened in the future, he would only be stuck with more inconvenient problems.

“If I could step into the king stage, none of this would be an issue. But before that happens, I need to find a way to stop them from escaping. However, that is quite tricky. Other than exposing the fact that I have the No-Nonsense Bow and Nameless Pagoda, there is no other way I can think of that can completely suppress my opponents…”

Lin Xun also knew that people like Xing Yitian naturally had many trump cards in their hands. Even if he didn’t have the Golden Cicada Talisman, then he would have some other way of escaping with his life.

It was just as Miss Le had said. Trying to kill someone from an ancient power was really too hard.

Without thinking too much, Lin Xun cast his gaze toward the numerous young men and women who were Xing Yitian’s servants.
