The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 216 Massacre in the Main Hall

The main hall was in noisy chaos.

Everyone blanched with horror and panic. The news that Chang Henshui brought back was so unbelievable that they couldn’t accept it for a while.

A teenager at the Human Dipper Stage!

How is this possible?

They had all thought that they could easily kill a teenager from a poor background with their large-scale operation.

Who would have thought that the situation developed in a completely different way from their expectation? They not only failed to kill the teenager, but also suffered heavy damage.

Chang Henshui couldn’t help but look disdainfully at the representatives from the major forces. They always act high and mighty, but now they are panicking like mice.

However, he also knew that the foundation and background of the major forces were extremely frightening and not every one of the clansmen was incompetent.

The true top cultivators and powerful figures were often from the major forces!

The reason for that was very simple: only the major forces who wielded monstrous authority and held abundant cultivation resources could cultivate extraordinary cultivators.

In comparison, the children from poor families had already lost in terms of background!

“Everyone, don’t panic. Although the current situation is bad, there’s still a chance to turn it around,” reassured Qi Tianxing, suppressing the panic within the hall and restoring a calm atmosphere.

Everyone shifted their gaze to Qi Tianxing, curious to know what other plans or tricks he had.

Qi Tianxing’s face was overcast as he said, “We have underestimated our opponent and consequently suffered such a loss. I believe that you all understand that it will be difficult to change anything given our current strength. So, there is only one thing we can do now.”

He took a deep breath and then said through gritted teeth, “Request reinforcement!"

Request reinforcement!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at him, their expressions constantly changing. It’s too embarrassing to request reinforcement and we might even be punished!

“Everyone, now that things have come to this point, our forces will no doubt become the laughingstocks of Haze City if Lin Xun manages to leave here alive. We won’t be able to raise our heads in the future!”

Qi Tianxing had regained his composure. “Think about it, if the people in Haze City learned about how a teenager from a poor background had slaughtered dozens of cultivators from our forces, what would they think?”

Everyone’s expression changed once again as they realized the seriousness of their problem.

“Okay, I’ll immediately go ask my clan for support!”

“That’s all we can do now.”

“Never mind. Humiliation is a small matter, but it’s a huge deal if we can’t kill Lin Xun.”

The representatives from the major forces all expressed their thoughts, agreeing with Qi Tianxing’s proposal.

Only then did Qi Tianxing breathe a sigh of relief, but he knew very well that, even if they killed Lin Xun, it would have a different impact.

They were no longer showing their powers but making a counterattack to save their faces!

This was because of the remarkable strength that Lin Xun had shown. Even if they managed to kill him, it would still cause a stir.

It mustn’t be forgotten that Lin Xun was a youngster qualified to participate in the provincial examination and he possessed remarkable strength. What would the higher-ups of the empire think when they learned that the major forces had killed such an outstanding youngster?

It was obvious what sort of bad impact the situation would have.

However, they were in a situation where they couldn’t stop. Qi Tianxing only hoped that the matter would soon end and that it wouldn't set off more waves.

Chang Henshui couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart as he watched everyone’s reaction. He realized that Lin Xun couldn’t escape his fate of death regardless of how great he had performed once the major forces dispatched the true masters!

Is this the fate of children from poor backgrounds?

Chang Henshui inexplicably felt a sense of pity in his heart.

Boom!

However, just when everyone in the hall was about to act and ask their respective sect or faction for reinforcement, a deafening boom rang out.

A tremendous force smashed the huge door to the hall and a black robed youngster strode in.

The youngster’s body was dripping with rain and his body was riddled with scars. His black robe was stained red with blood and he looked a little discomposed.

However, he wore the most calm and composed expression and his dark and deep eyes didn’t waver in the slightest. Also, a warm smile spread across his angular face.

In his hand was a jet-black blade covered with bloodstains and damages.

However, the blade was a perfect backdrop to the youngster’s chilling, determined and unyielding aura!

As he stepped into the hall, an indescribable murderous intent pervaded the room and seemingly froze the surrounding air.

Lin Xun!

Qi Tianxing and the others stood rooted to the spot, their eyes wide with shock. They couldn’t believe that the youngster would come to their door!

He wasn’t only extremely daring but wild!

Even Chang Henshui was dumbfounded and filled with shock. Lin Xun is too outrageous. Don’t tell me he has already decided to fight to the death?

“Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting.” Lin Xun said with a smile. His voice was calm and indifferent but everyone in the hall couldn’t help but shudder inwardly.

Before Lin Xun came, he had already found out from a cultivator that those gathered in the hall were from a dozen forces and weren’t any important figures. They only acted as representatives and thus their cultivation was mediocre.

“Bastard! How dare you still act so wildly at death’s door!” A cultivator fumed as he felt his dignity being challenged.

Pu!

In a flash, Lin Xun’s blade severed an opponent’s head with lightning speed. A fountain of blood shot out from his neck.

Everyone stared, aghast. Who would have thought that Lin Xun not only dared to storm in alone, but also killed without a single word?!

As a result, they couldn’t even react and could only helplessly watch the cultivator be beheaded.

“Chang Henshui, what are you doing standing there?! Kill him! kill him!” Qi Tianxing roared.

The other cultivators moved aside in panic. The thought of Lin Xun’s performance that night dampened their thought of participating in the siege.

This was true power!

Lin Xun might have come alone, but many cultivators had already died in his hands, including Lu Zhong, Remnant Wind and other fierce characters.

Under such circumstances, how would the mediocre representatives of the major forces dare to face Lin Xun in battle?

Chang Henshui’s expression changed indefinitely and then he took a deep look at Lin Xun. He said unwaveringly, “Sorry!”

With a clang, a long spear appeared in his grip. Its body glowed a dark violet hue while the edge of the spear glinted in a frightening and chilling manner.

Instantaneously, the imposing bearing around Chang Henshui abruptly changed. As it steadily climbed, he resembled an iron-blooded general with terrifying might.

Qi Tianxing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They believed that Chang Henshui, an Earth Dipper cultivator, should be able to hold on for a while and create a chance for them to flee.

However, a strange look flashed across Lin Xun’s eyes when he saw the spear in Chang Henshui’s hand.

He ignored Chang Henshui and charged towards Qi Tianxing and the others with his blade raised high in the air.

His purpose of coming was to slaughter the representatives of the major forces. Only that would be the greatest blow to his opponents.

It was also a warning: Anyone who chose to become an enemy of Lin Xun had to pay the greatest price!

Chang Henshui’s face darkened. Although he knew that Lin Xun possessed outstanding strength, his expression still turned sullen when he saw Lin Xun completely disregarded him.

He was an Earth Dipper cultivator. He had worked incredibly hard to become the strongest among the cultivators of Jadelight Pavilion after years of painstaking cultivation, yet a teenager at the Human Dipper Stage dared to disregard him. This no doubt was infuriating.

However, just when he was about to act, Lin Xun’s voice rang in his ears through voice transmission. “Master Xun would be very disappointed if he knew that you used the Violet Edge Spear he made for you to deal with me.”

Chang Henshui trembled. Master Xun? This guy know Master Xun?

Who in Haze City doesn’t know Master Xun? However, still no one knows about the true identity of Master Xun to this day.

It was precisely because Master Xun had a mysterious identity and remarkable skills in the art of runes that all the aeth tools he created were the finest of the fine. Additionally, his aeth tools all contained powers far greater than the same aeth tools on the market. A few days ago, Chang Henshui had paid the Rune Master Association a visit and requested a consignment, hoping that Master Xun could help him create an aeth tool.

Fortunately, just yesterday, Chang Henshui received this Violet Edge Spear. He was incredibly satisfied with its power and he became even more impressed with Master Xun and worshiped him even more.

He didn’t expect that Lin Xun, a youngster from a poor background, knew Master Xun. This is too unbelievable if it is true!

After all, Master Xun is highly respected and none of the major forces dared to anger him, yet Lin Xun is somehow connected with Master Xun.

Of course, Lin Xun could be using the name of Master Xun to deceive them. But Chang Henshui didn’t think so.

What if Lin Xun and Master Xun are really connected in some ways?

Wait!

Lin Xun? Master Xun?

They both have the character Xun in their names. It can’t be a coincidence!

For a while, Chang Henshui hesitated and wavered internally that he forgot to act.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already launched a killing spree in the hall!

His body moved like a bolt of lightning and his attacks were simple, direct, ruthless. His every move slaughtered a cultivator in the most brutal and coldest way.

Many cultivators were horrified. They fled in disarray, screamed, and panicked like lost dogs.

However, their struggle was futile once Lin Xun had locked his gaze on them. The difference between their strength was too tremendous.

Although they were all also at the Human Dipper Stage, the fact that Lin Xun was able to kill Lu Zhong and other Earth Dipper cultivators already proved the difference in strength between them!

“Chang Henshui, what the hell are you doing? If I die today, no one here will live!”

Qi Tianxing roared, looking distressed. While he was in imminent danger, Chang Henshui was still standing there blankly. How could Qi Tianxing not be enraged?
