The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1029 Would Do and Not Do

The two figures grunted in agony on the ground, recovering from unconsciousness.

“Demon God Lin, how dare you imprison us for so long!?”

“Argh!”

The two were none other than Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng, core disciples of Heaven Axis Holy Land whom Lin Xun captured in the Ancient Blue Province.

The sight of Lin Xun sent anger and hatred rushing through them. They cursed aloud, and their expressions dramatically changed.

Xiao Qinghe stared at Lin Xun in stunned silence. Demon God Lin? That’s him?

His heart quivered as he finally realized what kind of person the abnormally strong guy was.

As one of the top figures of the younger generation in the East Victory World, it was impossible for Xiao Qinghe not to have heard of Lin Xun from the West Infinity World.

But Xiao Qinghe still couldn’t link the handsome and outstanding young man in front of him with the title Demon God Lin.

“Lin Xun, if you want to kill then do it, but if you think you can torture and humiliate us then you should give up!” Zhang Zheng hissed, his face livid.

Anyone who had been suppressed and imprisoned for over a month would be filled with pent-up anger.

Although Xue Qianhen didn’t say much, his expression was equally as dark and furious. The core disciples of the high and mighty Heaven Axis Holy Land had been treated like prisoners. The feeling was worse than death.

However, both Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen subconsciously believed that Lin Xun wouldn’t dare to kill them.

The reason was very simple. It was because of their identities. If they were killed, then Lin Xun would be hunted down by the Heaven Axis Holy Land all his life!

Anyone with a little intelligence would know what choice to make.

Otherwise, why would Lin Xun have kept them until now and hadn’t taken their lives?

“Guys, I know what you are thinking. You believed that I won’t dare to touch you because you have the backing of Heaven Axis Holy Land.”

Lin Xun calmly looked the two in the eye. “Unfortunately, you are wrong. I didn’t kill you before because I had uses for you. After all, if a big shot from your sect caught up to me I can use you guys as hostages.”

After a pause, he continued, “But you are worthless now. I have waited for over a month, but I haven’t seen a single shadow of any big shots from your sect coming to save you, so...

“What’s the use in keeping you guys alive?” His nonchalant voice drifted through the night-shrouded mountains like a current of cold air.

Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng went stiff.

“You...are you going to...” The color drained from Zhang Zheng’s face.

“Do you know what consequences there would be if you do that?” Xue Qianhen forcibly controlled the fear beating at his heart, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

“I’ve heard of such threats many times back in the West Infinity World. Do you think that, if I am so cowardly, I would be called a demon god by the world?”

Lin Xun’s black eyes were cold and devoid of emotions.

“Remember, it was your Heaven Axis Holy Land that targeted me first. You blocked off the entire Ancient Blue Province to hunt down and kill me. What would have happened to me if I had fallen into your hands at that time?”

Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen already felt their blood run cold. The more indifferent and calm Lin Xun’s voice was, the more uneasy and frightened they were.

No one would be unafraid of death.

Even a Saint would struggle to remain unmoved when faced with death!

Let alone the fact that they were not Saints. They were still young, and they had their life ahead of them. They longed to rise to fame in the coming great age. How would they willingly…want to die?

Gripped by fear, Zhang Zheng cried out, “Lin Xun, if you let us go, I promise to plead with the sect to forget all the grudges between us and ask them not to make things difficult for you ever again!”

Xue Qianhen also nodded. “That’s right, if you kill us, it will only worsen your calamity. Instead, it’s better for you to let us go since it can resolve this tribulation.”

A smile played at the corners of Lin Xun’s mouth as nodded and said, “In that case, I will compromise and spare you from death.”

Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen both heaved a sigh of relief.

But Lin Xun’s next sentence left them petrified as if struck by lightning.

“I can exempt you from death, but not from punishment. I can spare your lives, but you will have to pay a price for it.”

Before his indifferent voice faded, he had already started to act.

Bang! Bang!

Following two muffled noises, their sea of qi and dantian area exploded before they could react. Their great dao divine wheel also crumbled and disintegrated. Their cultivation base had been destroyed!

“Lin Xun, do you want to die?!”

“You—! You—!”

Both Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng went berserk, almost breaking down. Their cultivation bases had been abolished, which to them was worse than killing them!

It was equivalent to losing their identity, status, and power. They had become crippled!

That blow could make any cultivators break down. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was worse than death.

Even Xiao Qinghe felt his heart tumble when he witnessed the scene. He never thought that Lin Xun, who seemed very easygoing and good-natured usually, would be so ruthless and cold-hearted.

In truth, he was stricken by the scene!

“Just now you promised to go back to the sect to plead with them to resolve the grudges between us. But now that I agreed to spare your life, you are acting like this. It’s really disappointing.” Lin Xun sighed.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a blast of invisible force spread out. “Go, I hope you can get out of this danger-ridden mountain range.”

Rumble!

Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng were sent to the depths of the vast mountain range in an instant like leaves swept away by a hurricane.

There was a long silence while Xiao Qinghe tried to speak but hesitated.

“If you have something to say, say it later,” Lin Xun said.

With another wave of his sleeve, another two figures rolled onto the ground.

“There’s more?” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes went wide.

Lin Xun ignored him and looked at the two figures on the ground. They were Yu Baobao and Ling Hongjin.

The two also woke up from unconsciousness. They quickly understood their situation when they saw Lin Xun standing in front of them.

They were much calmer compared to Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng. Although their eyes blazed with hatred and fear when they looked at Lin Xun, they didn’t curse or rage out loud.

Xiao Qinghe couldn’t help asking, “You...you’re not planning to do the same to those two women, right?”

Yu Baobao’s and Ling Hongjin’s expressions instantly changed. What does he mean by ‘also?’

Could it be that Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng have already met with catastrophe?

Amidst the oppressive and silent atmosphere, Lin Xun spoke, “I crippled the two to show power. As for these...”

Yu Baobao and Ling Hongjin tensed up.

Lin Xun was silent for a moment before he turned around and left, ”Let’s go.”

“Leaving now?”

Xiao Qinghe was taken aback, and so were Yu Baobao and Ling Hongjin.

But Lin Xun had gone far away and never looked back once, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

Xiao Qinghe chuckled out loud. “I already said that the mighty Demon God Lin would not be so cruel to attack women.”

Then, he turned to the two women, “Regardless of what feud you have with him, at least he let you go this time, so please take it as a warning.”

He hurriedly caught up to Lin Xun.

Yu Baobao and Ling Hongjin’s expressions turned complicated, but they both felt extremely surprised and grateful that they escaped death.

“I really didn’t expect such a demon-like person to be so soft-hearted,” Yu Baobao said quietly. She was a stunning beauty with sharp and charming facial features.

“Soft-hearted?” Ling Hongjin frowned bitterly. “That guy gave me a hard time in the Ancient Blue Province. I had to bear the infamy of engaging with enemies because of him...”

“It’s a misunderstanding, only fools would believe it,” Yu Baobao comforted her.

“No.” Ling Hongjin drew a deep breath and asked, “How do you think the sect will react if we return safe and sound?”

Yu Baobao blinked blankly then her expression dramatically changed. She realized the seriousness of the problem.

They were captured by Lin Xun together with Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen, but in the end, Zhang Zheng and Xue Qianhen had their cultivation destroyed yet they managed to escape unscathed. Who wouldn’t suspect that there was more to it?

Should they say that Demon God Lin is kind to women and does not kill women?

Who would believe such an absurd reason?

But if they failed to explain the reason…

It would cause many speculations!

Some might even believe that the two had made some sort of exchange with Demon God Lin for him to let them go!

The human heart was the most complicated thing in the world. The Heaven Axis Holy Land already hated Lin Xun to the bone. If they returned to the sect, then they would be subjected to several interrogations and questioning, and suffer a lot of unnecessary troubles!

“Could this be the reason why he let us go? Could he have predicted that our situation wouldn’t be any better even if we returned to the sect?”

Yu Baobao felt a chill down her spine.

“If that guy isn’t so shrewd and smart, then how could he have survived to this day after stirring up so much trouble?”

Ling Hongjin gritted her teeth and hatred filled her clear eyes. She would never forget the humiliating experience of Lin Xun stripping her naked.

“If it is as you said then Demon God Lin...is too terrifying!” Yu Baobao shuddered and her eyes glazed over.

“Let’s go, no matter what, we have to figure a way to solve this matter.” Ling Hongjin took a deep breath and rose to her feet.

They had completely given up on taking revenge on Lin Xun. The only matter in their minds was how to explain the situation to their sect.

…

“I never thought that Demon God Lin, who makes people turn pale at the mention of his name, would be so kind to women. Respectful. Really respectful,” Xiao Qinghe suddenly exclaimed with admiration in the vast darkness.

“When I was in the Ancient Blue Province, I already promised Ling Hongjin that I would settle all grudges with her, so I obviously won’t make things difficult for her again.”

Lin Xun explained, “As for the Yu Baobao...She will be in a difficult situation when she returns to the Heaven Axis Holy Land. Isn’t that already a kind of punishment?”

Xiao Qinghe looked perplexed for a while before it dawned on him. “You are so...”

“Cunning?”

Lin Xun completed his sentence, but his expression was as calm as always. “It doesn’t matter if I am called cunning. I only kill the people who deserve to be killed. I am not a demon who kills indiscriminately for revenge.”

Xiao Qinghe stared at Lin Xun in surprise, and his gaze started to change.

There are things he would do and not do.

This…this was the legendary Demon God Lin.

An indescribable emotion swirled in Xiao Qinghe’s heart. His initial curiosity and astonishment towards Lin Xun changed into a kind of respect and awe.

Before this, Xiao Qinghe had only ever admired one person from the bottom of his heart in his life. That was Mi Hengzhen, the number one pride of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace.

But now, Lin Xun was added to the list!
