The Prodigies War

It was not long before a spacious cavern appeared within his sights.

It was as if he had entered an underground world filled with emptiness and darkness.

A corpse as large as a mountain lay a thousand feet from him.

It was the corpse of a mysterious and dreadful savage-beast. The beast was covered in sinister dark silver scales and the single arm that was visible measured several dozen feet in length and was as thick as a boulder.

Its head was as large as a house, making it an alarming sight to any person.

It was a savage-beast that even Lin Xun had never seen before. A single pitch-black arrow was embedded in its head. Compared to the creature, the arrow was almost unnoticeable. It was only two feet long and as thick as a baby’s fist, making it appear extremely tiny compared to the giant corpse.

However, it was this very arrow that had pierced the creature’s head and killed it!

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank. After arriving, he finally realized that the unknown, bone-piercing killing intent originated from the savage-beast’s corpse.

How creepy!

The killing intent was far too terrifying and had become almost corporeal. Despite double-checking that the mysterious savage-beast was dead, Lin Xun’s heart still thudded wildly, still feeling fatal danger.

“Could the mysterious treasure discovered by the Brute Tribes be that arrow embedded in the savage-beast’s head?”

“Oh?”

While in thought, Lin Xun’s spirit sense suddenly detected a small movement. He immediately said in an icy voice, “I’m already here, so how long are you three planning on hiding?”

“Hmph, little shit. Do you truly believe we have been backed into a corner and can only be slaughtered by you?” With cold snorts, She Zhen, Yan Chixing, and Yin Beigu walked out from behind the savage-beast’s corpse.

They were Brute Enlightened Spirit experts who were bigger in size and looked fiercer than their human counterparts. However, they still appeared very tiny standing next to the giant beast corpse.

“It seems that you guys are rather fearless.” Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed.

He could sense that there was no longer any trace of fear in the three gravely injured Enlightened Spirit experts. Instead, they appeared very composed. It was obvious that something had changed.

As he spoke, Lin Xun raised the No-Nonsense Bow.

“Hehe, what a joke!”

She Zhen’s face was white with rage, “If it weren’t for that bow, what right would you have to act all mighty in front of us?”

Yan Chixing’s and Yin Beigu’s also wore resentful expressions. It was humiliating for mighty mighty Enlightened Spirit experts of the Brute Tribes like themselves to be forced into such a corner by a human Heaven Ascension youngster.

“You guys talk too much!”

Lin Xun frowned as killing intent flashed in his heart. The other party was too composed, which made him feel that something was off. He needed to finish this as soon as possible.

The instant killing intent flashed in his heart, however, an unexpected event occurred.

“Kill!”

The faint and omnipresent killing intent in the vast underground world seemed to smell blood and immediately became berserk as it gathered into a giant wave that rumbled toward Lin Xun.

Lin Xun’s spirit was immediately struck by a power he had never felt before

The killing intent seemed to have invaded from the far past, bringing with it a vast, savage, and terrifying pressure that made his face pale.

Without any delay, Lin Xun immediately circulated the Little Divine Meditation Art. His aura rumbled around him as a full moon guarded by numerous stars rose in his mind-sea.

It withstood the wave of assaulting killing intent and stabilized his spirit. Having practiced the art for several years, Lin Xun was aware of its magical and immeasurable powers that could swiftly heal even spirit injuries.

Rumble~

However, the surrounding killing intent grew increasingly intense as it crazily surged toward him from all directions.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

He could clearly see endless killing intent rush out from the giant savage-beast’s corpse and slam into his spirit and mind.

The pressure instantly multiplied!

“To think that even a corpse has forced me to circulate the Little Divine Mediation Art to defend my spirit. If it were alive, it would likely be capable of killing me in an instant…”

Lin Xun was horrified.

The killing intent was too endless and terrifying like the sea!

However, the Little Divine Meditation Art displayed its magical power, firmly stabilizing Lin Xun’s spirit such that the assaulting waves were unable to shake him.

“Hahaha, little shit, how are you feeling? No matter how powerful you are, the moment you trigger the killing intent here, you will have to face ultimate disaster! I bet you never expected this, right?” She Zhen’s sinister laughter rang out across the area, filled with elation.

“Look, his face has become pale, and his entire body is trembling. He’s clearly on the verge of collapsing.” Yan Chixing and Yin Beigu also laughed loudly, their resentful expressions now splashed with glee.

They had been hiding here to witness this very scene!

When the Brute experts first discovered this place, a commotion had occurred because anyone who displayed even a sliver of killing intent here would instantly receive a terrifying backlash!

Even the Enlightened Spirit experts found it difficult to withstand the assault.

If not for that, they would have long taken away the savage-beast corpse and the arrow stuck in it!

“How hateful. If not for that bow, I would have personally cut him to pieces long ago. We would never have needed to go to such great lengths just to deal with him.”

She Zhen gnashed his teeth, wishing he could rush forward and kill Lin Xun with his own hands.

Rumble!

Terrifying killing intent suddenly surged nearby, causing She Zhen’s expression to abruptly change. He had subconsciously displayed a sliver of killing intent which in turn triggered the monstrous killing intent in the area.

Fortunately, he reacted immediately and abandoned his murderous impulse, narrowly avoiding the disaster.

“Careful!” Yan Chixing and Yin Beigu shivered in fear as they glared at She Zhen.

She Zhen felt awkward and embarrassed.

“So they escaped here because they wanted to use this killing intent against me…no wonder they were acting so fearless…”

In the distance, understanding finally dawned upon Lin Xun.

He suddenly began approaching the savage-beast’s corpse.

The scene made She Zhen’s and the others’ pupils shrink as they were unable to believe their eyes. The killing intent was so terrifying and oppressive that even experts like them did not dare to face it directly.

However, the kid was voluntarily approaching its source!

Did he feel he wasn’t dying fast enough?

Lin Xun paid no attention to them. His eyes were fixed on the black arrow embedded in the corpse’s head as a strange light gleamed deep in his eyes.

Only he could sense that something seemed to have triggered the No-Nonsense Bow, causing it to vibrate erratically as a mysterious aura awakened within it.

Lin Xun was soon able to get a clear view.

The savage-beast that was covered in scales had a body that resembled a lion’s or tiger’s, and the head of a dragon. Its limbs were akin to giant metal pillars and its enormous body was covered in dried blood.

A simple black arrow was embedded in the creature’s head, and the arrow’s fletching glimmered a faint dark red.

A mysterious aura was surging out of the black arrow and resonating with the No-Nonsense Bow.

In that moment, Lin Xun was certain that even without the Little Divine Meditation Art, the killing intent in the area would no longer be able to threaten him in the slightest.

In the distance, She Zhen’s expression changed as he shrieked, “How can this be? Is he already that powerful?”

According to their estimate, even a Life Death Stage King would have to be very cautious and use their full power in order to approach the savage-beast’s corpse.

However, they were currently witnessing a Heaven Ascension youngster approach it step by step! Moreover, there was no longer any trace of the miserably struggling state he had displayed at the beginning. Instead, he brimmed with calm confidence.

“Impossible!”

Yan Chixing and Yin Beigu also cried out in panic. They were gravely injured, and their only hope had been to use the killing intent here to destroy Lin Xun.

However, the situation had already developed beyond their expectations!

When Lin Xun was about a hundred feet from the savage-beast, he suddenly stood still and softly said, “Arrow come!”

Swoosh!

Under She Zhen’s and the others’ horrified gazes, the black arrow stuck in the savage-beast’s head suddenly pulled itself out and flew into Lin Xun’s hand.

It was a simple arrow that was as thick as a baby’s arm. Its fletching was tinged with specks of dark red, and its pitch-black tip gleamed with icy light.

A terrifying pressure spread from the arrow, creating explosion-like ripples around it.

Boom!

Meanwhile, the mysterious giant savage-beast’s corpse began to collapse, turning into dust that drifted onto the ground.

“This…”

She Zhen and the others were frozen like statues, completely dumbstruck.

How is this possible?

They had originally believed that the black arrow was an unbelievably powerful ancient treasure, and they needed to wait some time for its savage qi to calm down before they could subdue and retrieve it.

This was why so many experts had been sent to Tiger Canyon.

Who could have imagined that Lin Xun’s arrival would ruin all of their plans? He had easily retrieved it by simply calling for it!

“No!” She Zhen and the others released angry roars, unable to accept the outcome. To them, it was no different from having someone else harvest the fruit they had painstakingly nurtured.

“Biluo…”

Lin Xun mumbled. He had identified the unique word from the ancient era that had been branded onto the black arrow.

The arrow was called Biluo!

“Little shit, leave behind the treasure! Otherwise, you’ll be chased by our Brute experts no matter where you run!”

She Zhen and the others roared. They had guarded this place for many days to eventually retrieve this treasure. How could they possibly bear the thought of Lin Xun arriving later than them and taking it?

“Everyone, it’s time to end this game.”

Lin Xun raised his head and looked at them as an invisible wave of killing intent unfurled from the black arrow.

Pop pop pop!

Before She Zhen, Yan Chixing, or Yin Beigu could react, their bodies exploded. They were torn to pieces by the bone-piercing killing intent and turned into a bloody mist without leaving a single bone behind.
