The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1196 Is it Meaningless?

The crane-cloak youth wore an amused expression and spoke in a nonchalant tone as if he was saying the most logical thing in the world.

His name was Mo Tianhe, and he was an ancient-era talent from Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms. Ever since emerging into this era, he had not once shown even the slightest ounce of respect to any of the current-era supreme heaven prides.

Presently, he had already attained the Supreme King stage and had recently challenged the Mythic Fire Battle Tablet where he achieved the ranking of 83rd on the Genius Gold Rankings.

He was considered one of the top experts even in the entire Mythic Fire Realm.

Even the Ninth Prince of the Golden Crow Lineage, Wu Lingfeng, wasn’t worthy in his eyes!

Lin Xun was initially taken aback before he chuckled and asked, "Are you trying to blackmail me?"

Mo Tianhe shook his head. "Blackmail is such an ugly word. I’m merely informing you about the gratitude you must show. After all, we did help you eradicate the Profound Light Ancient Clan’s territory."

Lin Xun smiled and replied, "Did I ask for your help? Never mind that you guys meddled in my affairs, but you’re even trying to use this opportunity to blackmail me. Don’t you feel ashamed of such behavior?"This chapter is updated by (F)ire

Mo Tianhe's expression darkened as an iciness flashed between his brows. He indifferently said, "Lin Xun, a wise man knows when to submit to the circumstances. We’re already being respectful by only asking you to show a little gratitude. Think about it, it will be easy for us to deal with you since we only need to restrict your movements and wait for Wu Lingfeng and the others to come. Do you think...you’ll be able to escape if when that happens?"

It was a clear threat!

They were telling Lin Xun they wouldn’t make things difficult as long as he obediently handed over a few divine herbs. If not, they would detain him here.

When Wu Lingfeng and the others inevitably arrived, the situation would become very difficult for Lin Xun.

"Moreover, you first destroyed Flying Star Mountain, then Wild Elephant Mountain, and finally Mingcui Mountain before making your way here. I believe that must have been quite tiring for you, am I right?"

Without waiting for Lin Xun to respond, Mo Tianhe continued his monologue, "It will be very unwise if you still choose to be so stubborn at this juncture."

"Stop standing around and quickly hand over your divine herbs!" The other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms experts nearby also spoke out, confident that it was already in the bag.

Lin Xun frowned, unable to understand. "Even if Wu Lingfeng and the others arrive, they probably won’t drop the matter after seeing that it was you guys who destroyed Jinlan Mountain, right?"

Mo Tianhe suddenly burst into laughter. His brows were full of conceit as he nonchalantly said, "You’re so naïve and don’t understand anything. Due to you going on a rampage and taking down several territories, the other great factions have already moved out to seize these conquered territories. "

"At this juncture, Wu Lingfeng and the others do not have the luxury of worrying about anything else. Since there are so many potential enemies, they can only pour all of their anger on you, the main culprit!"

Mo Tianhe paused as pity rose in his eyes. He looked at Lin Xun and said, "Do you understand now? You unintentionally helped several great factions by acting as a vanguard. While you’re charging forward at the front, these great factions are busy gobbling up the territories in the rear."

In the end, he couldn't help but softly sigh, "I believe that you, Demon God Lin, are an amazing and ferocious individual. It’s just a pity that all of your efforts have only ended up benefiting others."

Lin Xun patiently listened to everything. Suddenly, he displayed a faint smile and asked, "So you’re also planning on meddling and blackmailing me?"

Mo Tianhe frowned and said in a displeased manner, "Let me say this again, it is not blackmail. If you want to keep wasting time, I will happily accompany you. Either way, the more we keep dragging this on, the higher the chance of Wu Lingfeng and the others arriving."

He was composed from start to end as if victory was already in the palm of his hand.

The other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms experts had amused expressions and ridicule in their eyes. As Mo Tianhe said, they weren’t in a hurry either.

At this moment, Lin Xun made his decision and said, "You mentioned that I unintentionally acted as a vanguard, but aren’t you guys also acting as my vanguard?"

Iciness flashed in Mo Tianhe's eyes. "What are you trying to say?"

Lin Xun displayed a wry smile. "Jinlan Mountain was my target, but you guys beat me to the punch. I won’t blame you too much for interfering so hand over all the treasures you obtained from Jinlan Mountain then...scram."

The final word rolled off his tongue in a clearly unconcerned manner.

Mo Tianhe’s and the others’ expressions darkened. Despite explaining everything so clearly, Demon God Lin refused to cooperate and was even blackmailing them instead.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Mo Tianhe's eyes shone intimidatingly as an oppressive aura burst forth from him, causing him to become extremely frightening.

Lin Xun looked up at the sky, withdrew his gaze, and said, "There isn’t much time left. If you keep being so long-winded, I might decide to pay a visit to the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms’ territory."

It was an undisguised threat.

This naturally infuriated Mo Tianhe and caused his expression to become increasingly frosty. "Good, it seems that you’re intent on becoming the public enemy of all the great factions in the Mythic Fire Realm. So don’t blame me for showing no further courtesy!"

Rumble!

He stepped forward as his words rang out. An ancient sword suddenly emerged behind him, shining brilliantly like the sun or moon as it slashed downward.

The sword-will generated was so abundant that it made the surroundings appear dim in comparison.

Lin Xun responded with a swing of his fist. Fist and sword collided amidst a burst of blinding light.

Clang!

Mo Tianhe’s expression remained unchanged as another ancient sword flew out from behind him. It moved like an almighty force of nature, filled with majesty and boundlessness as it rumbled through the air.

At the same time, the first ancient sword Lin Xun knocked away rose again and attacked from the side.

The speed and decisiveness with which Mo Tianhe acted were far beyond any ordinary Supreme King expert.

Lin Xun's eyes narrowed in slight surprise but soon felt a sense of relief. After all, it wouldn’t make sense for Mo Tianhe to so openly blackmail him without anything to back it up.

Rumble!

Lin Xun didn’t hold back any longer and also displayed his true power. Dao light flowed around him as the essence of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art was displayed in its full glory.

"You overestimate yourself!"

Mo Tianhe laughed at the sight. With a wave of his sleeve, dozens of ancient swords flew out. With the previous two added in, there were now a total of thirty-six swords that swiftly positioned themselves into a sword array and attacked.

Each ancient sword was different. Some shone as brightly as the sun and moon, some were as majestic as a mountain, some were as turbulent as the sea, and some were akin to a light rain in the spring...

Despite their differences, the various swords resonated perfectly with each other.

It was as if thirty-six peerless sword cultivators were moving together, generating earth-shattering sword-will that could cut heaven and earth!

Meanwhile, Mo Tianhe was akin to a sword sovereign who controlled the swords.

The fact that he was ranked on Genius Gold Rankings was more than proof of his strength.

Bang bang bang!

Sword qi wove together and slashed from above, generating dazzling and almighty power that caused the surroundings to fall into a state of turmoil.

Rocks shattered and deep ditches were cut open all over the ground. Even the fabric of space was ripped apart, leaving spatial cracks in the air.

"Only Senior Brother Mo Tianhe can bring out such power from the Alpha Void Wen Xuan Sword Array!"

The nearby Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms experts revealed excited and amazed expressions.

One of them expectantly remarked, "Demon God Lin will have no regrets dying to this sword array."

Boom!

Swords poured down like rain, overflowing with endless murderous intent and immeasurable profoundness as they sought to swallow Lin Xun whole.

From the brief exchange earlier, Lin Xun realized that he would only be able to defeat his opponent by going all out with the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art and the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations.

As for killing him, that was going to be a little difficult.

Although Mo Tianhe was extremely conceited, Lin Xun had to acknowledge that this was the most formidable opponent he had encountered since mastering king dao laws and was far beyond any ordinary Supreme King expert.

However...that was all he amounted to!

Clang!

The snow-white Broken Blade swept forth, revealing its unrivaled sharpness.

"Heh heh, Demon God Lin, I see that you’ve finally brought out a weapon. This is how it should be. Otherwise, crushing you would be meaningless."

Mo Tianhe chuckled with a confident expression. He exuded powerful sword-will as he displayed breathtaking control over the thirty-six ancient swords.

Every sword pulsed with earth-shaking power!

He was conceited, but he understood that Lin Xun had brought out his strongest cards and didn’t dare to be negligent. Hence, Mo Tianhe’s aura grew stronger and stronger.

"Meaningless?"

An icy gleam flashed in Lin Xun’s black eyes. The Broken Blade cried out as a dazzling sea of stars unfurled from it.

Star-Gather Slash!

Enveloped in Water Dao Law, the Broken Blade gave off an indestructible aura as it moved with unstoppable power like the descending night cutting down all the stars in the sky!

Although it wasn’t real, it was still a horrifying sight to envision.

Bang!

An ancient sword wailed in agony as it was brutally knocked aside.

In the distance, Mo Tianhe stiffened while his blood and qi pulsed violently. Any traces of contempt immediately vanished from his face as he became serious.

However, the subsequent scenes completely surpassed his expectations. All he could do was watch the spinning Broken Blade unleash endless, almighty power as if it had entered an unmatched state of existence.

Bang bang bang!

The Alpha Void Wen Xuan Sword Array, which he originally perfectly manipulated, was disrupted. Ancient swords wailed one after another as they were knocked out of their positions, causing the array to fall apart.

Meanwhile, Mo Tianhe stumbled backward as if he was repeatedly struck by lightning. It made his qi and blood churn wildly and was so unbearable that he nearly coughed out blood.

His expression changed from serious to grave, then from grave to angry, alarmed, and ugly as if he was unable to believe what was happening.

In the distance, the originally excited Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms experts’ expressions also abruptly changed. They were caught off-guard and in disbelief due to the sudden developments.

How could Demon God Lin be so powerful?

It must be known that Mo Tianhe had recently come across a great opportunity that allowed his cultivation to soar by leaps and bounds, pushing him to the perfect Supreme King stage. In fact, he was only a single step away from triggering his first Longevity Tribulation!

No more than five people in the entire Mythic Fire Realm had achieved this level of cultivation.

Hence, it was very surprising to see that he was unable to suppress Demon God Lin.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun asked, "Do you still feel that it’s meaningless?"

As he spoke, the Broken Blade rose into the air like a burning sun and exploded, completely destroying the sword array.

Urgh.

Mo Tianhe couldn't help but cough blood. His hair was in a mess, and his ugly expression was colored in shock. There was no trace of his previous confidence and conceit as he asked, "You...you clearly reached the Supreme King stage recently, so how are you so powerful?"

Lin Xun smiled and asked instead of answering while his eyes turned as deep as the night, "There are many things you don't know. I’ll ask you again, is it meaningless?"

He rushed forward with the Broken Blade buzzing loudly and shining dazzlingly. Intense dao light flowed around it as it swung with heaven-defying power.
