The Prodigies War-Novel

Pu!

Despite evading with all his strength, Mu Lingfeng was still severely wounded. The Biluo Arrow had pierced through his ribs and left a bloody hole in his chest.

The terrifying destructive power almost tore his body apart, and the excruciating pain almost made him unleash a shrill scream that shook for nine heavens.

That was the power of the Biluo Arrow!

Unfortunately, Mu Lingfeng had already taken precautions and avoided suffering the same fate as Man Jiu.

“Si—” Jin Duzhen inhaled sharply, face distorting. The arrow was too terrifying and heaven-defying.

But Cang Lanxue took the opportunity to act. With a flash, she summoned a bone bowl filled with shimmering water and was pouring out torrents of divine lights like a great river.

The bone bowl was no doubt a rare treasure given its sacred and lustrous aura. It was called the Overflowing Water Basin.

Instantly, the shimmering water light and divine brilliance enveloped the Biluo Arrow.

“Capture!” she roared as a flood of joy rushed over her beautiful face.

However, her expression changed dramatically the next second, followed by a sharp scream.

With a loud boom, the Biluo Arrow erupted with invisible divine power, breaking free from the force. Then, with another boom, it pierced the Overflowing Water Basin!

Hu—

Cang Lanxue screamed in agony watching the bowl fragments whirl in the air. That was her rare treasure. Who would have thought it would be destroyed so easily?

She tried to gain an advantage, but she only ended up worse off…

Meanwhile, the Biluo Arrow had already returned to Lin Xun’s hand.

That wasn’t because of Lin Xun’s power. Instead, it was due to the connection between the Biluo Arrow and the No-Nonsense Bow.

Shua!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun continued to flee.

Behind him, Mu Lingfeng, Cang Lanxue and Jin Duzhen were all livid to the point of going berserk.

The arrow just now made them all look very embarrassing. But worst of all, they were three half-step kings yet they still failed to stop Lin Xun from escaping!

“Chase!” Mu Lingfeng bellowed like a wounded and frightened ancient beast.

Cang Lanxue continued to scream, “I’m going to kill the kid and eat his flesh and blood!”

“He has already shot one arrow. I doubt he can shoot a second one. His time of death is near!” Jin Duzhen’s eyes shot out with murderous intent.

Rumble—

They continued the chase without concealing their murderous intent, streaking across the sky like streams of light.

Kacha!

Lin Xun crushed one jade stone after another, absorbing the mysterious vitality contained in them to continuously restore his strength.

The Biluo Arrow he shot out just now hadn’t quite drained all his strength.

This was because he had reached the upper Heaven Ascension Stage, and his cultivation base was completely different compared to when he fought against Man Jiu.

Even so, the remaining power wasn’t enough for him to fire a second arrow.

However, he wasn’t worried because he could continuously replenish his strength with the jade stones.

……

“Just now…there was a terrifying power! Could it be Lin Twelve, the rune founder from the 7th army camp?”

Not long after Lin Xun and Mu Lingfeng and the others left, a group of empire cultivators appeared in the area.

They had already noticed the indescribable shock waves sweeping out from the area from afar and even witnessed the terrifying visions produced when Lin Xun shot that arrow.

“It has to be him! Didn’t you hear that Mu Lingfeng, a half-step king from the Wood Tribe, had been severely injured? The screams from this area shook the world!”

The cultivators’ faces blanched in horror.

“Heavens, Lin Twelve is being hunted down by three half-step kings! It seems that the intel is right! The Magi Brute bastards are determined to get rid of Lin Twelve!”

“Hurry up and spread this news! Let all the cultivators of our empire in other areas of the Mulberry Woodland know that Lin Twelve is a heaven-defying young genius, and he must not be killed by those bastards!”

After their initial shock, the cultivators launched into action.

As cultivators of the empire, they wouldn’t hesitate to choose to stand on Lin Xun’s side. How would they not do anything after hearing that he was in such a predicament?

On that day, a piece of serious news spread throughout the major areas of the Mulberry Woodland—

Lin Twelve, the young genius of the empire, is being hunted down by three half-step kings of the Magi Brute Race and is in a precarious situation!

A storm was set off like that.

“Haha, that young devil is finally going to die. I knew he was going to suffer soon. Does he think that he is invincible with that huge bow? Ridiculous!”

“That brat is so audacious. That’s his fate for provoking the Magi Brute Race. No matter how talented he is, no matter how powerful his treasures are, he is doomed!”

Many Magi Brute experts were buzzing with excitement, chattering endlessly.

The rumors about Lin Xun had already instilled fear into them. After all, it was unheard of that a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage could kill a half-step king.

Now, they finally heaved a sigh of relief and were quick to gloat that Lin Xun was about to be killed.

The news also caused great disturbance among the empire cultivators. Lin Twelve wasn’t only well-known among the Magi Brute Race, but he was also an illustrious and dazzling character among the eight camps of the empire. How would his precarious situation not draw people’s attention?

“This is bad! Can Lin Twelve get out of trouble this time?”

“The situation is very bad. He is under the pursuit of the three half-step kings! Even a half-step king would likely be met with disaster let alone a Heaven Ascension teenager!”

Many empire cultivators were filled with worry.

“Why are you worried? Don’t forget that Lin Twelve killed a half-step king with one arrow in the battle of the Tiger Canyon! He shocked everyone at that time. Since he dared to come to the Mulberry Woodland alone, he must have come prepared. He won’t die so easily.”

“Hey, no matter what, we have to hurry up and find Lin Twelve. We can’t just sit and watch the Magi Brute bastards kill him!”

Upon learning the news, Ying Qiao, the young master of the Darkness Tribe imperial family, immediately issued a message: “Lin Twelve must die this time. You humans won’t be able to rescue him, let alone have the chance to collect his corpse! Even if your Life Death Stage Kings are dispatched, they won’t be able to change the situation!”

Those words made many faces overcast and troubled as they realized that the situation didn’t look optimistic.

Even some top figures had temporarily stopped looking for treasures and opportunities and paid close attention to the matter!

Before long, Top General Xia Houjie thundered, “I believe that Lin Twelve will be able to turn the crisis around, but if Lin Twelve is killed, I will massacre all Magi Brute bastards in the Mulberry Woodland!” His overwhelming murderous intent stirred all cultivators of the empire.

“Haha, Xia Houjie, your death is also coming soon! How dare you speak nonsense here? Just you wait, I will come and harvest your head soon!” King Yan Qiong also issued a disdainful threat, sparking a huge commotion.

The atmosphere in the Mulberry Woodland changed.

……

While all sorts of rumors and uproars were breaking out, Lin Xun was still running for his life.

Buzz!

Before long, he drew the-No Nonsense Bow and readied the Biluo Arrow.

However, before he could fire an arrow, the three guarded half-step kings scattered one after another.

He sighed and had no choice but to withdraw the bow and continue to flee.

The same scene had happened many times. Ever since Mu Lingfeng was wounded, the three half-step kings had been very vigilant and gave Lin Xun no chance to fire a Biluo Arrow.

Lin Xun started to look glum.

He was running low on jade stones, and his strength was constantly being consumed as he bolted with all his strength. He would be faced with a fatal problem sooner or later.

“Fortunately, the night is about to fall…” He drew a deep breath. Even if he was running at full speed, he could feel that the sky was getting dark.

“That damn little bastard! Why is he so fast?”

Mu Lingfeng and the others were more glum than Lin Xun. They had already raised their speed to their max, but they could never catch up to the human youth.

They almost coughed up blood from anger. They were half-step kings!

They felt ashamed to death that they failed to catch a Heaven Ascension Stage teenager! They wouldn’t be able to hold their heads up if word of this spread!

“This is bad! Night is about to fall!” Cang Lanxue grunted, her beautiful face scrunching up.

Mu Lingfeng's and Jin Duzhen’s faces also darkened.

When night fell, the Blood Kill Battlefield would become hundreds of times more terrifying than during the daytime, especially in the mysterious Mulberry Woodland.

Even half-step kings wouldn’t dare to venture into the woodlands recklessly in the dark.

Night was approaching.

The world was shrouded in an oppressive and hair-raising atmosphere.

“It’s okay. If the kid doesn’t want to die in an accident, then he also wouldn’t run around. We should stop. I have already locked on his aura. It’s useless even if he hides!” In the end, Mu Lingfeng made a decision.

The darkness also made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable like danger was looming.

“That’s all we can do.” Although Cang Lanxue and Jin Duzhen were reluctant, they had to agree to be safe.

To their surprise, Lin Xun showed no intention of stopping. He continued to speed away, disappearing into the vast darkness like a wisp of smoke.

“He…” Mu Lingfeng was at a loss for words. “Does the little bastard not want to live anymore?”

“He must have realized that after nightfall is his only chance to escape our pursuit!” Cang Lanxue gnashed her teeth. “What should we do? Do we chase after him?”

Jin Duzhen hesitated, considering the pros and cons.

"Old bastards, why don’t you chase after me? If you have the guts then come and fight!” Lin Xun’s voice suddenly echoed in the darkness.

Before his voice faded, the Biluo Arrow rumbled across the air with a wave of destructive power, splitting the void and aiming directly for them.

Mu Lingfeng and the others almost jumped up in rage. That bastard is at the end of his rope yet he still dares to provoke us!
