The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1093 Dead End?

“Old beast, you have the power of the Saint Stage but you act like a beast! I’m surprised you still have the audacity to say such shameless words!”

Cold intent gleamed in Lin Xun’s black eyes, and his chest was burning with anger.

He would not compromise, nor would he surrender and wait to be captured. He knew that if he bowed his head then he would only receive greater humiliation and death in return!

Those old beasts had already shamelessly taken action themselves. How would they stop until they killed him?

“Haha, you have a sharp tongue! But you are just a little ant, do you think that you are invincible just because you can borrow forbidden power from this sea? You are far from it!” Saint Xuetu was the first to strike.

From a distance away, he thrust his palm forward like an elder teaching his unworthy descendant a lesson. It was a direct and vicious attack that was filled with the intent to humiliate.

“Fellow Cultivator, calm down, the little ant still has good fortunes on him. There’s no rush to kill him!” Daokun and Miaohua quickly dissuaded, seemingly with good intentions, but in truth, their intentions were more vicious.

Boom!

Lin Xun controlled the forbidden power to fight against it.

Starlight surged like a tide, and waves of various kinds of splendid light rushed up to block the blow.

All Saints’ eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing the scene. “That kid can indeed manipulate the power of Star Chess Sea. Does that mean if we capture him, we will be able to obtain the art of controlling the Star Chess Sea?”

Star Chess Sea was shrouded in the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array, which no one had been able to destroy since ancient times. Even Saints would meet with danger if they dared to venture into it.

But if one could grasp the mysteries of the array...that would be equivalent to gaining control of a supreme forbidden array!

All Saints quivered inwardly with excitement the more they thought about it. They knew well of the value of gaining control of such a great supreme forbidden array!

“Kneel down!” Fang Lingsu snorted coldly as he stretched out his thin wrinkly hand to press Lin Xun onto the ground from a distance away. He was like a moving mountain trying to force Lin Xun onto his knees.

“Get lost!” Lin Xun thundered as he brought endless waves of starlight up from the sea to obscure the sky and sun.

The ground rumbled and shook in front of Lin Xun while the frightening forces clashed in the air. If he wasn’t under the protection of the array, then he highly likely would have long been forced to the ground.

“Fellow Cultivator Fang, you are too violent. What if you accidentally kill this ant? I don’t want him to die like that. Although his life is worthless, his treasures are precious.” Saint Fuya spoke faintly as his illusionary body drifted and blurred like he did not exist in the world. However, his words were filled with much contempt and disdain.

With rage pulsing through his veins, Lin Xun smiled coldly, “Are you really Saints? You look more like just a group of old beasts who deserve to be minced to pieces!”

All the saints looked unbothered by the remark. “An ant will always be just an ant. They don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

Boom!

Saint Yu Ming was the next to take action, pointing his index finger upwards in the air.

Instantly, a ray of energy gathered around his finger, filled with the law power of the Saint Path. Then, the finger aimed for the space between Lin Xun’s eyebrows.

Rumble—

A terrifying scene followed. The forbidden power of Star Chess Sea broke down under the finger, unable to withstand its tremendous force!

Without hesitation, Lin Xun summoned the Nameless Pagoda to shield him. The body of the pagoda was as magnificent as always, emitting a gorgeous golden glow.

In the end, even if Lin Xun managed to block the finger, a rush of painful sensation shot through him from the impact, causing his qi to pulse frantically and almost vomit blood.

He sighed to himself. He could at most only control less than one-thousandth of the power of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array, so how could he take on six Saints at the same time?

Moreover, those Saints were extremely sly and cunning and avoided entering the territory of Star Chess Sea. As a result, there was little that Lin Xun could do even if he wanted to fight back with the great array.

Ultimately, he made a wrong judgment. He never imagined that those ancient clans and sects would have no scruples and would not hesitate to dispatch six Saints just to deal with him!

“It’s that pagoda!”

On the shore, the eyes of the Saints were shining brightly.

“Hmm, indeed amazing. It is indeed made of genesium. Even in ancient times, it would be considered a top-class treasure of immeasurable value!”

“Good, good, good! The trip here is definitely worthwhile!”

Fang Lingsu and the others beamed with delight and surprise. They regarded Lin Xun as nothing, and their eyes and thoughts were only on the treasures and fortunes on Lin Xun.

This was ultimate disdain. In their eyes, even though Lin Xun had achieved first place in the Little Giants List Competition, he was still much less important and eye-catching than the treasures that he held.

“Don’t waste any more time, let’s work together to crush that kid!”

Saint Miaohua’s eyes blazed as though she couldn’t wait anymore. She was worried that the longer this dragged on, the more likely unexpected troubles popped up. She wished to immediately end Lin Xun once and for all.

Boom!

Suddenly, all the Saints leapt into action. Even if they were separated by the vast Star Chess Sea, their giant hands still crashed down from above, closing in on Lin Xun.

The power of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array roared and rumbled, creating waves of terrifying starlight to push back the giant hands.

Pu!

Within moments, Lin Xun coughed up blood from the impact as he almost exploded on the spot.

The Zhoutian Star Dipper Array might be extraordinary, but it could not possibly withstand the combined attacks of six Saints. Even with the defense of the Nameless Pagoda, Lin Xun was still left with serious injuries.

Shua!

Lin Xun turned into a stream of light and darted into the depths of Star Chess Sea at full speed.

However, his attempt was futile. In just the blink of an eye, his road was blocked off and he was left with nowhere to retreat to!

On the shore, the group of saints remained very calm, their expressions were tinged with superior indifference. They were not worried about Lin Xun fleeing because they had long locked onto his qi.

……

Further afield, the experts spectating the battle secretly sighed. The difference in power was too tremendous. Demon God Lin was doomed.

Once a Saint appeared, who in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain could contend with them?

“Since he has never risen, he can only shine very briefly, and it is time for that to end,” muttered someone.

“What a pity. Given that kid’s talent and aptitude, when the great age comes, he is destined to forge an extraordinary dao path. Unfortunately, his journey ends here… The heaven is jealous of heroic genius,” someone sighed.

“In this world of endless sects and clans, it is difficult for someone to rise alone!”

A’lu was not taken away by the grubby old man, but was hiding in the shadows. He snapped when he saw Lin Xun’s critical situation. “Old bastard, I have already acknowledged him as my older brother! We’ve reached this point now, are you going to save him or not?”

The old man slapped A’lu on the forehead. “Acknowledged as an older brother? Have I agreed to that? You good-for-nothing loser! Stop staring at me. Let me tell you, you can only watch and do nothing this time!”

A’lu was as angry as a raging bull and refused to listen. But no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move an inch. He was imprisoned to the spot and could not even utter a word anymore.

The old man knew about the power of A’lu’s mouth and so he sealed it right away.

“What’s going on? According to my speculation…in the Immortal Forbidden Land behind the Star Chess Sea…they wouldn’t just watch that boy being killed. What’s more, since the kid possesses the ability to command the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array…that means he is related to that old lunatic. Why...has the turn of events not happened yet?” The old man frowned as he rapidly analyzed the critical situation.

……

Boom!

The battle continued. A giant hand moved unhindered across the sky and slammed downwards. Saintess Miaohua took action. Raging divine flames circulated her fair hand as it blasted Lin Xun across the air.

“Even ants cherish life. Young man, why do you have to bitterly struggle? Let me tell you, if we truly wanted to kill you, we could do it without any trouble. The reason we are doing this is just to make you bow your head and hand over your treasures to atone for your sins.”

Although Saintess Miaohua was beautiful and graceful, she was unquestionably crueler and more arrogant than the other Saints. Her voice and words reeked of contempt and she was trampling on Lin Xun’s dignity.

“Suppress!”

Saint Daokun thundered as he slammed his hand downwards. The sky and the earth instantly split.

The forbidden power was smashed, the Nameless Pagoda was blasted back, and Lin Xun was about to be crushed, when a jade bottle suddenly appeared in his grip, spewing out jets of blazing light.

Rumble!

It instantly wreaked havoc on the space like a landslide or tsunami.

However, that blow allowed Lin Xun to very narrowly avoid being suppressed and even strike back at Saint Daokun who launched the attack. He violently swayed.

What?!

Everyone’s jaw dropped. The change was unexpected. He was just an ant, but he had the ability to counter the Saints.

However, the eyes of the six Saints blazed even more intensely.

“It’s a bottle!”

“What a miraculous Saint treasure! Even from afar, it’s obvious that the power contained within the bottle is marvelous! My heart is pounding from just looking at it!”

They could all tell that Lin Xun’s previous attack came from the bottle in his hand!

It had to be a Saint treasure!

“Everyone, I can give up on everything else. I just want that bottle!” Fang Lingsu’s voice quivered with rare excitement.

Everyone could tell that the bottle was more than mysterious and of immeasurable value. It was absolutely possible that the bottle could turn the ant’s situation around and allow him to live.

“Hmph! Let’s all use our own means then!”

Saint Yu Ming already attacked as he spoke. His displayed strength was evidently more terrifying than before.

At the same time, everyone else also attacked, scrambling to be the first.

Some tried to suppress Lin Xun to grasp the secrets of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array.

Some headed straight to snatch the Nameless Pagoda.

Some competed for the Dao Immeasurable Bottle.

Lin Xun was suddenly thrown into a life-or-death situation!

The power of one Saint was already too much for him to deal with, let alone the joint attacks of six Saints.

Bang!

Lin Xun suffered severe injuries. He was blasted left and right, his face was dripping with blood, his bones were broken, and his skin was riddled with scars.

His injuries were extremely bad!

The experts who were secretly watching the battle all tensed up, realizing that the battle would very likely end here.

Regardless of how outstanding Demon God Lin was, he was still an ant against the saintly powers and wouldn’t stand a chance!

The price he had to pay for this was all his treasures and fortune!

Unexpectedly, even if Lin Xun only had a faint breath of life left, he still refused to bow his head.

He was stained in blood that accentuated the endless flames of anger swirling in his black eyes. His voice was hoarse as he spoke falteringly, “You...old bastards...today’s humiliation...I, Lin Xun, will...return it to you tenfold!”

His voice, filled with anger and hatred, reverberated throughout the world!

The world fell silent for a moment before being broken by the sneer of the six Saints. Fang Lingsu said indifferently, “You have reached a dead end now, so how would you have a chance of getting revenge in the future? No matter who comes today, they can’t rescue you!”

“Is that right?” An ethereal voice echoed in every direction, stirring heaven and earth!

Unknowingly, rays of divine auspicious light streaked downwards from above.
