The Prodigies War-Novel

In the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands, a pillar of water suddenly surged up, swirling with murderous wind and lightning qi as it lifted a figure into the air.

The roaring sound of the water pillar alone shook some nearby cultivators to the point that their blood started to churn and they nearly coughed up more.

The figure on the water pillar stood with his arms folded. He had a slender and robust physique, a pair of silver wings on his back, and a horn on his forehead.

“Those who trespass must die!”

Each word rumbled like thunder. They stirred the clouds, burst the rocks, and raised waves in the water.

Those whose cultivation levels were on the low end sprayed blood from their mouths and noses. Even their spirits were almost ripped to pieces!

“Silver Crane King!”

Xu Sanqi and the others instantly recognized the man, and their expressions became grave.

Although the Silver Crane King was not as powerful as the White Wasp King, he was one of the top thirty-six monster-beast Kings who possessed extremely terrifying power.

His entrance caused the atmosphere to become oppressive, and many King experts of the empire looked at him with apprehension.

“A monster-beast King of this caliber is simply terrifying. Our empire has many talents and no shortage of King experts, but when it comes to absolute power like this, there are only a few.” The hearts of many nearby cultivators pounded in trepidation.

Some people comforted the others, “Don’t worry, we have Young Master Lin. We’ll flatten this place and show them the might of our empire.”

“Silver Crane King, this is the territory of the Ziyao Empire. Making your nest on our land and threatening us? Do you really think we have no one?” bellowed a King expert, his voice resounding like a bell toll.

The Silver Crane King’s expression was ice-cold. Without a word, he chopped out with his palm.

It was like the air was split by a sharp blade. A void crack tens of thousands of feet long spanned across the field toward the King expert who had just spoken.

This person was Changsun Lie, a general with a fierce temperament who was in charge of a large regional army. During the drastic changes in heavens and earth, his strength had skyrocketed, and he was currently at the sixth longevity stage.

But upon being hit by the palm chop of the Silver Crane King, he was violently pushed back several steps, and his arms were drenched in blood. As he stabilized himself, he coughed up blood.

Changsun Lie was heavily injured by just one strike!

The area was dead silent.

Everyone clenched their fists as they stared intently with fury and apprehension at the aloof Silver Crane King standing on the water pillar with his arms folded.

“Weaklings!” said the Silver Crane King coldly. “If we weren’t preparing to deal with that brat Lin Xun, just by the fact that you lot dared to show up here, you would be dead without a burial place.”

“What a joke from someone who left his lair and fled here with his tail between his legs because he’s scared of Lin Xun,” retorted Zhao Jingxuan.

“Hahaha! Scared?! Then this king might as well let you know, Lin Xun shall be executed if he comes here!” The Silver Crane King laughed, but his expression was chilling.

Right at this moment, an icy voice rang out from the horizon.

“Is that so?”

The Silver Crane King’s expression immediately changed. He looked up to see a streak of light sweeping toward him like a shooting star.

Incredibly fast!

The crowd could barely even see it as their eyes felt a stabbing pain and their souls felt as if they were being suffocated.

“Damn it!” The Silver Crane King’s face distorted upon sensing the imminent danger. He madly flapped his wings, flying as fast as he could toward the depths of the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands.

However, it was already too late. The streak of light, revealing itself to be the Broken Blade with a peerless sharpness, swiftly drew a slash.

The silver wings were chopped off. Blood gushed out like a cascade as the Silver Crane King fell from the sky.

The Broken Blade seemed to have intelligence as it spun around the falling Silver Crane King while drawing slashes. Unable to dodge, his skin and flesh were torn like paper and fell off in pieces.

“What...is this?!”

The crowd was dumbstruck, especially the King experts who gawked in utter shock.

The Silver Crane King had just seriously wounded Changsun Lie, a sixth longevity King, with just a single strike.

But then, a broken blade had descended from the sky and executed him in a single chop!

He had yet to appear, but had already taken down an enemy from so far away. His dashing style was simply unprecedented!

“He’s here...” Zhao Jingxuan raised her head, her eyes shining brightly.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

Then, it looked as if a green sun was rising in the very distant horizon. The scene was almost impossible to describe in words. It was so dazzling and bright that their surroundings, including every single blade of grass and bit of rock, were completely visible.

“That’s...” Everyone was shaken to the core.

A tall figure treaded the air and emerged from the blazing green sun.

His clothes fluttered, and his hair danced. He was like an immortal passing by the world as his dao might shadowed the sky.

The Broken Blade streaked through the air into his grasp.

Lin Xun had arrived!

All gazes instantly converged on him.

“Everyone, please wait here. We’ll have a talk after I take a walk in the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands,” said Lin Xun from high above the sky.

On his way earlier, he had already seen the situation through his spirit sense and gathered that Zhao Jingxuan had led a group of King experts here to aid him.

“You must be careful. In the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands, there’s not only a bunch of monster-beast Kings waiting but also thirteen Shaman Kings. They’ve all come prepared, so don’t let your guard down,” Zhao Jingxuan informed him through voice transmission.

Lin Xun nodded.

“Young Master Lin, you need only say a word should you require our help!” shouted a King expert.

“It’s just a bunch of beasts. I alone will be sufficient to wipe them out.” Lin Xun smiled.

And then, he flew into the wetlands alone. His domineering posture struck awe into everyone’s heart.

A strange occurrence greeted Lin Xun the second he stepped into the inner circle of the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands.

The water surged in waves and rumbled like thunder as a lotus boat took into the air. On it stood a golden figure shrouded in blazing light.

It was a large snake with feathered wings on its back. Its body seemed to be made of pure gold, and its eyes were ice-cold.

“Snake Shape King!”

The faces of many cultivators were colored with gravity as this monster-beast King was even more terrifying than the Silver Crane King.

However, this was only the beginning.

Amidst the shrieking of the water, a monster-beast King whose skin was covered in ghostly blue scales, hands resembling a fish’s flippers, and hair like seaweed leaped into the air while his legs transformed into a scaly tail. In his hand was a bronze halberd that spilled out a rolling demonic glow.

It was the Sea Flood-Dragon King!

On another side, flames surged into a vortex and incinerated the air. From the vortex, a delicate figure emerged, looking like a demonic god born from the fire with a crown of fire feathers on her head and a fiery red wooden staff in her hand.

Flame Vine King!

One monster-beast King after another then appeared in every direction, each with a monstrous might and brilliant aura about them.

The weakest of them was at the fifth longevity stage, and the strongest the eighth longevity stage.

They loomed over the entire Great Wind Thunder Wetlands. Their surging demonic aura manifested various phenomena. There were thunderstorms, an ocean of flame, and sky-shaking roars.

There were over a dozen monster-beast Kings, and they were like mountains stretching across the region. The breath emanating from them was so oppressive that one would find it hard to breath in their presence.

“You actually dare to come. Aren’t you fearless?” said the Flame Vine King from the top of the fire vortex. Her voice was sweet, but as it echoed loudly throughout the area, some cultivators felt their minds falling into chaos and almost fainted.

“He’s Lin Xun? Quite a character. Just his courage alone puts him above those cowards in this empire,” commented the Sea Flood-Dragon King. His every word seemed to materialize as his voice vibrated like buzzing thunder.

“Now that he’s here, it’s time to settle our feud!”

One by one, the monster-beast Kings declared their attitude.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the empire’s cultivators grew unsightly, and the atmosphere around them was dead quiet.

Looking at the monster-beast Kings’ sky-blotting aura, they knew that each of them was a ruthless character that could dominate a region. Who would not be afraid?

Even though they were only over a dozen in numbers, the might they exuded alone weighed down on the majority of the cultivators present and made it difficult for them to breathe.

More terrifyingly, the most mysterious Black Robe King and the thirteen Shaman Kings hadn’t even shown themselves!

“There’s so many monster-beast Kings. What will Young Master Lin do?”

The crowd couldn’t help but turn their gazes to Lin Xun.

“Humph!”

A cold snort came out from Lin Xun, who was standing in the air with his arms folded.

In that instant, a divine might as infinite as the sea spread from him and covered the entire area.

The vast Great Wind Thunder Wetlands fell into a bizarre silence, as if frightened.

The expressions of the monster-beast Kings abruptly changed as a mountainous pressure poured down upon them. Uncontrollably, they dropped a few feet.

A group of monster-beast Kings were suppressed by the might of one person!

The Snake Shape King was the first to lose it. A series of explosions rang out as his aura burst around him while trying to fight against the pressure from Lin Xun.

Immediately following, the other monster-beast Kings also erupted with a monstrous might.

As King stage experts, how could they stand being suppressed by Lin Xun alone?

The sky and earth lost colors, and the stars lost their shine as the monster-beast Kings unleashed their might together. The scene was terrifying to the extreme.

The air in the area shattered, and rocks flew chaotically. The onlookers in the vicinity were forced to retreat in horror, again and again!

Even from a great distance away, it was still difficult to breathe. Their chests were stuffy, and their bodies felt stiff.

Terrifying forces of pressure shot up into the sky, disrupting the winds and clouds.

A mere glance from afar was enough to cause the cultivators to despair!

But in such a circumstance, Lin Xun was fearless, and he even took a step forward.

Just one step!

His might abruptly climbed. Countless dao lights swam around him as it was like an abyss that was starting to operate. No matter how powerful the auras of the monster-beast Kings were, they couldn’t shake Lin Xun one bit. The situation came to a stalemate.

The audience was aghast. Lin Xun’s divine might could be described as immeasurable!

Even the monster-beast Kings couldn’t help but reveal shocked expressions. Inwardly, they collected their scorn and grew serious.

They had to admit that the person they were facing was an extremely terrifying opponent!
