The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1004 Chaotic Wind Blood Demon Sword Sutra

Hooking up?

Xue Qianhen, Yu Baobao, Nangong Huo, Gu Yunting, and the others were stupefied. Wouldn’t this mean that Ling Hongjin had betrayed the sect?

This was something that could never be forgiven or tolerated!

For a time, they began to look at Ling Hongjin in a different manner.

On the other hand, the subject of their attention, Ling Hongjin, was unable to explain herself. Being watched by so many questioning eyes felt like having her heart cut by a knife and made her so furious and frustrated that she nearly fainted.

"Is this true?” Xue Qianhen was still unconvinced.

After all, Ling Hongjin was a core disciple of Heaven Axis Holy Land who had attained the supreme path. A bright and incomparable future awaited her, so why would she ever choose to fornicate with the enemy?

Zhang Zheng coldly said, "Isn’t it clear? Demon God Lin was brought here by Ling Hongjin. How else could he have known that we are in Northern Light City?"

"What we can see might not always be the full truth, and there might be something else we’re unaware of. I refuse to believe this." Yu Baobao frowned. She felt that this was too sudden and absurd, and was unable to accept it for the truth.

"Why? Do you think I'm lying to you guys?" Zhang Zheng was displeased, and his expression turned frosty.

Lin Xun couldn't help but smile at the sight of them arguing and voice-transmitted, "Miss Ling, this is an eye for an eye. Since you lied to me and I’ve lied to them, the slate is now clean between us. However, I’ll have to trouble you a little longer."

Clean slate?

Never!

Ling Hongjin was so angry that she almost vomited blood. How could she possibly acknowledge his words?

However, before she could react, she was thrown into the Nameless Pagoda and confined by Lin Xun.

Lin Xun asked, "Are you guys done arguing?"

His presence abruptly changed as he spoke and an arrogant air that was impossible to conceal emerged.

Swish!

In an instant, all the gazes shifted toward Lin Xun with looks of astonishment, bewilderment, and disbelief. None of them had expected him to remain so calm and cool despite being surrounded.

Someone disdainfully remarked, "Ignorant fool!"

"Lin Xun, how dare you kick up a fuss at death’s door? Do you think that we don't dare to kill you?" Nangong Huo had the fiercest reaction because he hated Lin Xun to the bone.

Yu Baobao took a deep breath and said, "Lin Xun, let Senior Sister Ling go and clear up this matter. If you cooperate, we might be lenient and leave you a way out." She refused to believe that Ling Hongjin would betray the sect.

"Senior Brother Chu Beihai was right. You’re strong and act recklessly like a demon god. However, you won’t be able to escape today. The only thing I don't understand is where did you get the courage to come to North Light City alone to die?"

An icy light surged in Xue Qianhen’s eyes.

Lin Xun was too calm and relaxed from the beginning, which made him vaguely feel that something was wrong.

"Come to die?" Lin Xun laughed in a carefree manner, "Am I only capable of running away and not counterattacking in your eyes?"

"Counterattack?"

Several Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples were taken aback by these words. They looked at Lin Xun as if he was an idiot.

"Is he crazy or stupid?"

"A single person trying to fight back against Heaven Axis Holy Land? Even a Saint expert wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim, right?"

"Arrogant and ignorant fool!"

Snickers and disdainful remarks soon followed.

While this was happening, a huge crowd had gathered far away and were watching everything from afar.

When they heard Lin Xun say the word counterattack, they almost thought that they had misheard.

The Heaven Axis Holy Land side had the clear numbers advantage while also boasting supreme heaven prides such as Xue Qianhen and the other core disciples. No ordinary cultivator in their right mind would dare to talk so big in the face of such a grand line-up.

Moreover, the Ancient Blue Province was Heaven Axis Holy Land’s territory!

On the other hand, Demon God Lin was alone and heavily surrounded. Yet he still dared to make such bold claims. It made them wonder if he was starting to speak nonsense because he knew he was about to die.

From start to end, Lin Xun's expression was calm and did not ripple in the slightest.

"I heard that you used a King-level forbidden array to kill Old Monster Mo Xi. Are you thinking of relying on that same tactic?"

The sight of Lin Xun’s calm appearance made Xue Qianhen increasingly unsettled. Hence, he tried to probe for a reaction.

These words made several people’s hearts shiver. They had also heard of this matter.

However, Xue Qianhen's next sentence made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that particular tactic will be useless against us. Since we've been dispatched to deal with you, we've naturally come prepared and won’t give you any chances." Xue Qianhen's eyes shone like gleaming blades as he closely observed Lin Xun.

However, Lin Xun merely replied, "There’s no need to use a King-level forbidden array to deal with you guys. I alone am sufficient."

He didn't attack immediately because he was secretly trying to confirm that there was no King stage old monster present in North Light City, which made him grow increasingly calm.

"You alone?"

Xue Qianhen raised his eyebrows. Although he still felt something was wrong, he couldn’t help but find Lin Xun’s words ridiculous. To think that he was this fearless and foolish.

"Yes." Lin Xun nodded.

Just as Xue Qianhen was about to continue, Zhang Zheng impatiently snapped, "Stop being so overly cautious and wishy-washy. He’s just a prey that doesn't know he’s already dead. Is there a need to be so prudent?"

He stepped forward and emanated an unparalleled sharpness that shot straight into the sky as his aura instantly intensified.

"Lin Xun, I said earlier that I would personally send you on your way. So get your ass over here and die!" His voice boomed like thunder and rumbled into the distance.

"Zhang Zheng does indeed live up to his title of ‘Courage Breaking Sword.’ His presence alone is already unmatched." Many bystanders' eyes lit up at this sight.

"I've heard that Zhang Zheng’s combat power is ranked top five among the Heaven Axis Holy Land core disciples!"

"Although Demon God Lin is strong, he will likely be suppressed by Zhang Zheng who has also attained the supreme path. After all, one comes from a lowly background while the other is a disciple of an ancient orthodoxy. Their cultivation levels are similar, but their foundations are far too different."

The crowd conversed in whispers.

After being interrupted by Zhang Zheng again, Xue Qianhen grew increasingly furious and his expression turned even colder.

However, he didn’t speak any further. Since Zhang Zheng was stepping forward, he could use this as an opportunity to gauge Lin Xun’s abilities!

The other Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples crossed their arms and sneered. They didn’t believe that Demon God Lin would be able to match Zhang Zheng.

He might have eluded them time and time again over the past few days.

He might have caused the apex-tier half-step King expert, Wen Xingzhou, to suffer a loss.

However, none of that mattered because he was now facing Zhang Zheng, a peerless heaven pride who had attained the supreme path!

His sword had feasted on the blood of more than one half-step King expert!

Unfortunately, none of them were aware that just last night, Li Zhannan, who held similar beliefs as them, was slain by Lin Xun in three punches...

This was also why Lin Xun wanted to arrive at North Light City to launch his counterattack as soon as possible. It was to strike before they realized! 

"What are you waiting for? If you're afraid to die, kneel down now and I promise I won't lay a hand on you, lest I dirty my sword!" roared Zhang Zheng. His long hair rose in the air as his presence grew increasingly oppressive.

"Careful with your words, they might come back to bite you in the ass."

Lin Xun rose into the air. His aura felt as ordinary as the flowing clouds in the sky as he looked at Zhang Zheng from afar.

"I won’t underestimate someone like you who has also attained the supreme path. But honestly, you’re already a dead man in my eyes."

Zhang Zheng's eyes flashed fiercely. His aura grew stern as formidable sword-will spread from him.

Clang!

A long, thin blood-sword appeared in his hand. Its blade was curved at a bizarre angle like a sickle and gave off a strong sensation of sinister ruthlessness.

It was the Supreme King Weapon - Blood Clink!

The appearance of the sword made Zhang Zheng resemble a mighty sword demon. He exuded a bloody and murderous aura that made it difficult to breathe.

"Show me what a Heaven Axis Holy Land disciple is capable of. I hope I won't be disappointed." Lin Xun was still as cool as a cucumber.

Swish!

Zhang Zheng moved.

It was as if thousands of Zhang Zhengs were attacking all at once. Streaks of blood-colored sword-wills raged like a storm, howling in every direction as they engulfed the sky and land.

The place seemed to transform into a sword hell. Every sword-will was blood-red and generated peerlessly sharp auras that easily cut the fabric of space, tearing open numerous spatial cracks.

Many people were unable to breathe. It was the Chaotic Wind Blood Demon Sword Sutra!

It was one of Heaven Axis Holy Land’s supreme-grade dao arts. Zhang Zheng was clearly not underestimating his opponent since he employed this technique the moment he attacked.

"He’s pretty cautious." Both Xue Qianhen and Yu Baobao inwardly nodded in approval. As fellow supreme heaven prides, they naturally could tell at a glance that Zhang Zheng wasn’t holding anything back.

"Is this your sword dao? It’s nothing impressive."

Lin Xun was unfazed. He didn’t try to avoid it and instead reached forward and pressed the air with his hand. A brilliant sea of flames unfurled with burning stars exploding within it.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored sword-wills were swallowed by the flames and burned into nothingness.

"As expected of Demon God Lin. He’s a formidable opponent." Xue Qianhen's and the others’ eyes flashed. It would be strange if Demon God Lin was immediately suppressed instead.

However, the ease with which he neutralized the killing move was a little surprising to Xue Qianhen and the others.

"No wonder he dared to come here and declare his counterattack. It turns out that he already possesses such terrifying battle power. However, he’s ultimately a single person. How will he possibly be able to escape today?" Gu Yunting had a complicated expression. He was both shocked by Lin Xun's overwhelming display and worried about his situation.

In the distance, numerous cultivators were also watching the battle.

It was a clash between two supreme heaven prides. Regardless of the winner, it was destined to stir up a huge commotion in the Ancient Blue Province.

"Chaotic Demon Blood River!"

Zhang Zheng released an earth-shaking howl as his presence grew increasingly similar to a sword demon. A ten thousand foot tall wave of sword-will rose from the blood-sword in his hand.

The sword qi river rushed forth, strongly embodying the concept of boundlessness.

The crowd felt as if the underworld's blood river had manifested itself in the world, dyeing the sky and land a bizarre red.

Several people trembled in fear as they felt a fiendish aura assault their senses.
