The Prodigies War

Gou Qi, the silver-haired woman, and the other black dog experts were so triggered that they nearly vomited blood.

Not only did they fail to recognize the target that had appeared right in front of them, but they even allowed him to extort a huge amount of aeth essence from them. Moreover, it felt even more humiliating that they had taken so long to realize this.

If word of this got out, what face would they have left?

"You’re asking for death!"

Gou Qi could no longer hold back. He released a deep roar as a terrifying, giant dog phantasm overflowing with jet-black light emerged behind him.

"Kill!"

The silver-haired woman and the other black dog experts also shouted as they attacked, aiming to either capture or kill Lin Xun to release their shame and anger.

However, Lin Xun merely smiled in a carefree manner and said, "I have been waiting for you guys to get into the pot to sate my appetite!"

Boom!

Lin Xun’s aura abruptly changed as he stepped forward, making him resemble a demon god. He punched, sending out a burst of fist-force that rushed forth like a dragon and smashed apart an expert’s chest, splattering blood and bits of bones everywhere.

Everyone was startled. How terrifying. He had killed an expert with a single punch!

"You dare?!"

Gou Qi charged and swung his palm downward. Blood-light poured out like a river of blood from hell, creating a horrifying scene.

Thud!

A snow-white ice dragon flew out from Lin Xun’s foot and raised its head and roared. With a loud thud, it neutralized Gou Qi’s attack with a swing of its tail.

By this juncture, Lin Xun had already used the opportunity to execute a killing move.

Plop plop plop!

He struck like lightning, first imprisoning several incoming opponents with Baxia Imprisonment before crushing them with Bi’an Stamp.

The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts were unable to dodge in time, and their bodies exploded in the air, turning into bloody mist.

So domineering!

The onlookers gasped at how swiftly and effortlessly he had slaughtered them. Such overwhelming might was practically akin to the descent of a demon god!

"These dogs are too weak. Their meat will definitely be low quality."

Lin Xun's eyes flashed intimidatingly. The only ones left were Gou Qi and the silver-haired woman.

"Lin Xun, you're courting death!"

Gou Qi roared as he trembled with anger and fear, only now realizing that the opponent was too powerful and not someone they could oppose.

He was already freaking out and felt like he was on the verge of falling apart. After being deceived and extorted, they were now being killed and viewed as food by an opponent that far outclassed them. It was a frustratingly humiliating and powerless feeling that could not be put in words.

"Hand over your life!"

Lin Xun dashed forward to face Gou Qi. He executed the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art, infusing each wide and powerful swing of his fist with the almighty power to shake the heavens and destroy the land.

Boom!

The dreadful power caused the restaurant to shake violently as if about to collapse. The other customers were horrified and quickly fled in a panic.

Only the Feather Sword Sect successors and the Fifth Crown Prince of the Fire Crow Clan, Lu Jiuge, remained calm and collected. However, even they could not help but be secretly astonished by the strength Lin Xun displayed.

Crack!

Gou Qi's right arm snapped, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Despite being a Cyclic Derivation expert and a top-class individual among the younger generation he had suffered a big loss after a single exchange!

Everyone’s expressions changed when they witnessed this.

"Kill!"

Meanwhile, the silver-haired woman let out a loud cry. However, instead of attacking, she smashed through the wall with a loud boom and ran away!

She knew she was outmatched and did not dare continue fighting. Instead, she would go to find help.

However, how could Lin Xun possibly allow her to leave? He immediately made a cryptic sound, "Du-or!"

Pulao Roar!

Lin Xun brightly glowed like a terrifying sun as a golden ripple made from soundwaves spread from his mouth.

The roar sounded like a shout from an ancient god, filled with boundless terror that could shatter the land!

Plop!

The silver-haired woman burst into a cloud of bloody mist.

Hiss~

A series of gasps immediately followed. Everyone’s souls trembled in horror. The woman was a Cyclic Derivation expert, but she had still been wiped out by a single roar!

"AHH―" Someone in the restaurant screamed as the blood drained from his face.

"What a terrifying secret art." Lu Jiuge’s eyes glowed with a divine radiance, somewhat astonished by the sight. It reminded him of the Golden-Horned Azure Lion Clan’s innate talent, Lion Roar!

The Feather Sword Sect disciples were also astonished, causing their expressions to change slightly. They had originally believed the youngster from the lower plane to be a disgraceful, spineless coward for snitching to the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan for the aeth essence reward.

Who could have imagined that he would transform into a completely different person in the blink of an eye? His overwhelming and domineering power alarmed even people like them!

Xie Yutang's heart churned wildly as his expression fluctuated indeterminately. He could not imagine how the youngster from the backwater countryside, who had just arrived in the Forbidden City, could become so powerful in a few short years. It was simply inconceivable!

Although the roar had shaken everyone, only Lin Xun knew that he had intentionally restrained his power to obtain such a result. Otherwise, the entire restaurant would have been turned to dust!

An illusory hazy glow flowed around him, giving him an ethereal and transcendent aura. Despite his elegant appearance, the power he wielded was domineering and unreasonable like a god or demon descending onto the mortal realm.

Gou Qi was the only one left. He looked at Lin Xun in despair. His heart was already flooded by fear only now fully realizing the extent of Lin Xun’s terrifying strength.

"Lin Xun, are you intending to make a mortal enemy of our Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan?" Gou Qi gritted his teeth. The only thing he could rely on now was the fearsome reputation of his clan.

Crack!

Lin Xun did not even bother to reply. Instead, he moved forward and snapped Gou Qi's neck.

Gou Qi died and returned to his original form. His huge black dog body crashed onto the ground with a loud rumble, bleeding streams of blood.

All the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts had been put to death, or to be more precise, massacred. Lin Xun had basically encountered no resistance at all as he easily crushed them all.

His ruthlessness and overwhelming power made the other customers’ hearts tremble again. That inconceivable strength had subverted the foundations of their imagination.

On the other hand, Lin Xun appeared as if he had done something completely unremarkable. He picked up Gou Qi’s body and stuffed it into his storage ring.

Before he left, he looked toward the other private room and his gaze locked onto Xie Yutang.

Xie Yutang's eyes immediately froze, feeling somewhat afraid and uncertain. Does he intend to do something to me?

Zhuo Kuanglan’s expression remained unchanged and seemed to be pondering something while Lu Jiuge continued to drink as he watched. On the other hand, the other Feather Sword Sect disciples became on guard.

The atmosphere became somewhat stifling.

However, Lin Xun merely smiled faintly and said, "You did good earlier by drawing a clear line between us. Now, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan won’t trouble you because of me. From today, neither of us shall owe the other anything."

Lin Xun had heard everything Xie Yutang had said about him earlier. In front of the Feather Sword Sect disciples and Lu Jiuge, Lin Xun was described as an uncouth and unbearable country bumpkin whom Xie Yutang was ashamed to be associated with. In turn, Lin Xun could not help but feel bitterly disappointed by this.

Although he had no intention of retaliating against Xie Yutang, Lin Xun would not be so courteous next time if he were to be slandered in such a manner again!

After leaving these words behind, he withdrew his gaze and drifted away.

Xie Yutang's stormy expression fluctuated indeterminately, seemingly enraged. He suddenly rose to his feet and fiercely glared at Lin Xun from afar as if wanting to teach him a lesson.

Zhuo Kuanglan faintly smiled and said to stop Xie Yutang, "Junior Brother Xie, there's no need to be angry. He’s just a guy who got carried away, so why bother with him?"

"Yeah, he’s very arrogant and even dares to make an enemy of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. Someone like him will encounter disaster sooner or later."

"That’s right. The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan is so enormous and powerful that even the ancient sects would be reluctant to mess with them. He is merely an uncouth youngster from the lower plane, yet he chooses to butt heads with such a clan. Isn't this basically asking for death?"

The other Feather Sword Sect disciples also spoke out to console him.

Xie Yutang inwardly sighed and silently sat down again. His heart, however, was still filled with anger and resentment, making him wish he could murder Lin Xun with his own hands.

Do you really think that you can do whatever you want because you have become stronger and can completely disregard me?

This was the reason for Xie Yutang's resentment, and it was also a type of inferior mentality. Since long ago, he had shown nothing but disregard toward Lin Xun and viewed him as an uncouth youngster from the backwater countryside.

He, on the other hand, was from the Xie Clan, which was one of the seven high clans of the Ziyao Empire. Moreover, he was blessed with extraordinary talent and status that Lin Xun could never hope to match.

After entering the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he successfully enrolled in the Feather Sword Sect to cultivate, which made him feel an even greater sense of superiority over Lin Xun.

However, the events that transpired today made him feel utterly humiliated!

He suddenly discovered that the youngster he had disregarded before had grown to the point of nearly surpassing him. How could someone as proud as himself accept that?

"He is no ordinary person," Lu Jiuge remarked in a soft voice as divine light surged in his eyes. "I would like to have a spar with him if he appears at the Dao Lantern Festival."

Zhuo Kuanglan’s and Xie Yutang’s hearts trembled, not expecting that Lu Jiuge would have such a high opinion of Lin Xun.

It was also at this moment a cry of surprise rang out in the restaurant.

"I'm certain he's the supreme heaven pride who rose to fame in the Fire Spirit Province! He’s that demon-god-like youngster!"

"It must be him. The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan placed a bounty on him, but instead of hiding, he voluntarily showed up and slaughtered them. Only someone like him has the guts to do that!"

"My god, Demon God Lin has appeared in Snow Maple City!"

The entire restaurant was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked beyond belief.

They had previously despised Lin Xun, thinking that he was shamelessly going to divulge information about Demon God Lin’s whereabouts to the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

Who could have imagined that he would turn out to be Demon God Lin!?

It made them feel embarrassed and lament that perhaps only Demon God Lin would dare to come out and collect the reward on himself.

After hearing these conversations, Zhuo Kuanglan, Lu Jiuge, Xie Yutang, and the others suddenly realized something.

The youngster from the lower plane turned out to be the same Lin Xun who had risen to fame in the West Infinity World. He was Demon God Lin!

The comical part was that Xie Yutang had claimed earlier that the two Lin Xuns were definitely not the same person...

Xie Yutang’s expression changed again. His face burned unbearably as if he had been slapped by an invisible hand.
