The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1068 The Power of the Earthshaking Punch

Jin Muyun’s clothes fluttered, and his black hair billowed in the wind.

The Brahma King Sword flared up in flames, providing the perfect backdrop for him, who looked like a brutal and determined sword immortal descending upon earth. Many experts of the older generation’s countenance visibly changed at the sight of his incomparably fierce power and bearing.

“That boy is only in his twenties yet he already has such great command of the sword. Yun Qingbai is not a big deal if we compare him to Jin Muyun.”

“Demon God Lin is going to make a fool of himself. Let alone three moves, he can’t possibly defeat Jin Muyun in one hundred or even one thousand moves.”

“That boy is indeed worthy of being the leader of the thirteen swords of Omega Sword Sect!”

Jin Muyun’s imposing manner drew exclamations of awe from the audience.

“What would he do?”

Ye Chen, Xiao Cangtian, Zhao Jingxuan, Alu…

Yu Lingkong, Li Qingping, Chu Beihai and Bi Dongliu…

The group of Little Giants all paid close attention to the duel.

Some people couldn’t wait to see Lin Xun embarrass himself and slap himself in the face.

Some people wondered where Lin Xun got the confidence to dare claim that he could win against Jin Muyun within three moves…

Under watchful eyes, Lin Xun unconcernedly tied his hair back in a methodical manner.

His expression might be cool and calm, but his dark abyss-like eyes were filled with intense fighting intent that was about to erupt like lava.

“Huh?”

“He…”

Everyone sharply sensed that, following Lin Xun’s casual movements, a frighteningly powerful aura was rushing up from him.

Vaguely, Lin Xun seemed to have become a different person, no longer plain and ordinary.

His slim and handsome figure was shrouded in power that was as domineering as the mountains and as majestic as the blue dome of heaven. As he opened his eyes, cracking streams of lightning burst forth.

Moreover, the aura around his body continued to intensify!

He was akin to a bottomless abyss suddenly awakening.

“Heavens!”

Many people trembled and found their breathing became labored.

Unquestionably, Lin Xun was completely different from before.

If he previously was a domineering and powerful blade that was virtually invincible, then now, he seemed to reign supreme whether it was in the heaven above or below. The azure dao light rising around him made him appear even more terrifying.

Xiao Cangtian and Ye Chen both narrowed their eyes and then exclaimed, “Demon God Lin is indeed remarkable. He restrained himself till now and then showed what he is truly capable of!”

“That guy has been concealing his strength…”

Some spectators gulped, and a rush of emotions sent color to their faces.

The Demon God Lin in front of them seemed to be a completely different person from before. Anyone could tell that he had been holding back his strength all along!

“He’s so infuriating!”

Yu Lingkong and Chu Beihai also stared wide-eyed with disbelief. Their faces were tinged with a mix of anger and shock.

“That boy has been holding back!”

At the foot of the mountain, many ancient sect cultivators’ expressions changed.

“This is the real him!” Zhao Jingxuan’s beautiful eyes sparkled like stars.

“Damn, that guy is cunning! He only revealed his true strength now!” A’lu cried out.

Jin Muyun’s countenance changed subtly. Then, his eyes flashed a fierce glint like the light of a sword. “No wonder you were so arrogant, but even with your cunning trick, do you actually think you can defeat me within three moves?”

His question dispelled a significant amount of astonishment in the audience.

Indeed, regardless of how powerful Demon God Lin was, he was still only at the Cyclic Derivation Stage just like Jin Muyun. How would Jin Muyun fail to block or survive three of his attacks?

Everyone started to relax.

Especially the experts from the Omega Sword Sect. Many lit up with cold smiles, and couldn’t wait to watch the battle.

“Yes.” Lin Xun nodded, calmly and nonchalantly, as if it was nothing special.

At this moment, his every movement oozed superiority and brought divine dao light rising around him as if he were the ruler of the mountains and rivers within a million-mile territory.

He was indeed very different!

Everyone’s expressions changed. Lin Xun radiated the true power of a demon god, and his overbearing presence was enough to oppress many people even from a distance.

Jin Muyun laughed in anger as he pointed his sword at Lin Xun. “I will make you embarrass yourself!”

Clang!

He couldn’t hold back from attacking first. The Brahma King Sword erupted with monstrous flame-like sword intent in his hand before it swiftly slashed through the air and crushed the surrounding space like a meteor shower falling to earth.

The sword was not only tyrannical, but also contained immense great dao powers. A sword cry boomed out like an explosion as if to break the evil spirit of the heart and destroy the imprisonment, emitting a deterrent power that penetrated straight into the heart.

Undoubtedly, Jin Muyun had an extraordinary command of the way of the sword. With just one strike, he radiated the demeanor of an invincible swordsman.

Similarly, everyone could tell that he did not believe that Lin Xun could defeat him within three moves. He went all out in his attack.

The sword strike illuminated the universe and petrified the audience!

Even some Little Giants felt their hearts palpitating at the splendid sword attack.

How could Lin Xun deflect the power of that sword?

Or perhaps, would he have trouble even withstanding it?

Lin Xun acted.

Contrary to everyone’s prediction, Lin Xun counterattacked with bare hands. He folded his hands and threw his fist forward.

Boom!

However, it was a miraculous punch!

It was accompanied by all sorts of spectacular visions of destruction, including the sea splitting, mountains being smashed to smithereens, void being set aflame, dragons emerging from the abyss, and the cry of the great phoenix…

Then, doomsday-like spectacles descended, including the sky collapsing, the earth sinking and all spirits being wiped out.

All those visions and spectacles were gathered into that punch, condensing into an indescribable power.

That fist seemed able to tear the sky and shake the heavens!

The Heavenshaking Punch!

The mighty fist that combined all the power of Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art was enveloped in the power of the water dao.

The punch looked indestructible!

Rumble!

The punch blasted across the air and wherever it passed, the space was smashed to pieces and plunged into chaos. Jin Muyun immediately felt his senses being suffocated, struggling to breathe. Even his spirit was severely affected.

His face blanched. Facing this punch, he unexpectedly did not know how to defend against it. He was like an ant struggling to escape from the claw of the mighty dragon.

He bit the tip of his tongue and snapped back to his senses. He came to find that his dao heart seemed to have been possessed by the power of his opponent’s fist!

All that happened in the blink of an eye.

However, when Jin Muyun wanted to change to another move, it was already too late.

Boom!

On the tremendous battlefield, two tyrannical forces, a sword and fist collided, and immediately a vast explosion tore the surrounding space like paper.

All kinds of divine brilliance and dao light wildly flooded the world, throwing it into a state of terror and chaos.

This was different from previous duels.

The two sides had to decide the outcome of the duel within three moves, so they did not hesitate to unleash all their trump cards right away. The power and severity of the destruction were completely different to that in previous duels.

In the audience, some cultivators failed to even capture the details of the battle, but their faces were contorted from the sharp stabbing pain in their eyes and their spirits were shaking violently!

Tap Tap Tap~

Amidst the haze and dust, Jin Muyun uncontrollably stumbled back. He could only feel the power of that punch rushing around him, wreaking havoc like a wild horse on a rampage. His organs felt almost turned upside down, and every inch of his flesh throbbed with unbearable pain.

For a split second, the world seemed to be spinning, and he was about to faint.

The audience stared on, dumbfounded and aghast.

Seconds ago, they were wondering whether Lin Xun could block Jin Muyun’s splendid sword strike, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Xun had wounded Jin Muyun with an unstoppable punch!

The drastic change happened so fast that many people were still in a state of dazed disbelief.

Pu!

In the arena, Jin Muyun had been fighting hard for a long time, but he finally couldn’t hold back from coughing up a mouthful of blood, and the agonizing pain drained the color from his face.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was standing steady and firm with only his moon-white robe billowing in the wind. He was completely unscathed.

The stunned silence was at first broken by a low commotion within the audience and then succeeded by a scene of noisy confusion and shock. Everyone’s face was twisted with horror. Only then were they certain that Jin Muyun was indeed wounded in that blow!

How…is that possible?

Everyone’s eyes bulged, and jaws dropped.

“What a powerful punch!” Ye Chen closed his eyes, the details of the epic battle rapidly flashing across his mind. His expression grew serious.

“Earthshaking and invincible. That punch contains many secrets and mysteries…” Xiao Cangtian murmured and also began to analyze the battle.

Some other senior experts were visibly moved. Given their eyesight, they could tell that there were no tricks and no frills to that punch. Lin Xun met Jin Muyun’s sword head-on!

However, Jin Muyun was blasted back, which undoubtedly proved that Demon God Lin was superior!

“Did we underestimate him again?” Yan Zhanqiu’s face clouded over.

He had already repeatedly re-analayzed Lin Xun’s strength, so he believed that he had already overvalued him, but who would have thought that the truth still exceeded his expectations?!

On the battlefield, Jin Muyun’s face was ashen and distorted with bewilderment and disbelief.

One strike!

He had already gone all out, but he was still blasted backwards. Did that mean that Demon God Lin’s achievements on the Supreme Path were superior to his?

“Open your damn eyes and take a look at the power of a demon god! How dare you mock him before? Do you feel the slap on your face now?!” A’lu cackled wildly. How would he not take advantage of the chance to verbally attack back?

At the foot of the mountain, many people’s faces darkened.

This was especially true for the experts of the Omega Sword Sect. They wanted to tear off the barbarian’s mouth.

“That’s just one move, do you think he has won?” An old man from the Omega Sword Sect called out coldly, “It’s normal to slip up in the first exchange, but it’s a huge joke to say that Demon God Lin can win within three moves!”

His remark drew a lot of agreement. All of which were from experts of the ancient sects and clans who had feuded with Lin Xun.

“Tsk tsk, one never sheds a tear until one sees one’s coffin! If I were you, I would have slapped my own mouth!” A’lu sneered.

“Enough!” Jin Muyun thundered, his face terrifyingly livid.

As a proud swordsman, he would never tolerate such things happening.

Then, he suddenly looked at Lin Xun and said, “Your strength is indeed beyond my expectation, but...you can’t defeat me!”
