The Prodigies War

Jin Wu nearly coughed blood.

It was already shameful enough that he had been pursued by a Heaven Ascension youngster, but he had now also made a fool of himself in front of Feng Kun. He wished he could bury his head in the ground.

“What exactly is going on?”

Feng Kun frowned. His figure was akin to a mountain, and his muscles gleamed as if they were solid rock, making his presence feel extremely oppressive.

Jin Wu took a deep breath and began to recount his encounter with Lin Xun. Of course, he did not mention the part where he had fled out of fear.

Despite this, Feng Kun could roughly guess what had happened. His expression immediately turned weird, and he could not help but laugh in the end.

Jin Wu's face burned with embarrassment as he roared, “What are you laughing at? You haven’t witnessed that little shit’s bow. When you do, I guarantee that you won’t be able to laugh! Shi Zhen was strong, right? But he was still gravely injured by a single arrow from that kid and nearly died. In fact, he’s still recovering in Tiger Canyon.”

Feng Kun’s expression turned serious. “From what you’ve told me, the kid is purely relying on that mysterious bone bow?”

Jin Wu gritted his teeth. “If not for that bow, how could we have suffered so miserably and even be forced to seek assistance?”

“To think that a single bone bow could bestow such heaven-defying power to a Heaven Ascension youngster, allowing him to gravely injure even She Zhen and the others. Looks like that bone bow must have an incredible origin.”

Feng Kun’s eyes glimmered with desire. “Tell me where the kid appeared and how to get there. I’ll go kill him!”

He was clearly interested in the No-Nonsense Bow and wanted to kill Lin Xun to obtain it.

Jin Wu was conflicted. He dearly wished for Feng Kun to kill Lin Xun, but was also unwilling to see Feng Kun obtain the bone bow.

“He was nearby just moments ago and shouldn’t have gotten far.” Jin Wu ultimately decided to work together with Feng Kun, unwilling to see the bow fall into his hands.

“Lead the way, we’ll move together.”

Feng Kun glanced at him. “I want to remind you that our Nine Brute Tribes have dispatched numerous powerful experts this time. It’s not just me; there are many other guys with similar strength around Tiger Canyon who are searching for those humans. If you don’t obediently cooperate, the bow will very likely be taken by someone else.”

Jin Wu’s heart shivered as he replied, “Don’t worry, I only wish for that kid to be chopped into a million pieces and naturally will not be negligent.”

“Let’s move then. According to one of the old guys from the Ancient Brute Tribe, the treasure in Tiger Canyon should emerge within three days. We should kill that youngster as soon as possible and rush back before the treasure appears.”

A murderous look rose between Feng Kun’s brows.

Jin Wu cast aside his hesitation and began searching for any trace of Lin Xun along the path he had come from.

……

“It should emerge within three days, right?”

Not long after Feng Kun and Jin Wu left, wisps of illusory, dream-like smoke emerged from some rocks ten thousand feet from their original location.

The smoke was able to blend in with the surroundings and was difficult to detect without careful inspection.

Lin Xun gradually emerged from the smoke.

It was ‘Suanni Qi’!

The fifth transformation of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations!

Suanni was a divine beast from the ancient era. It could breathe smoke that could cover an entire realm and conceal a domain. The smoke was formless and invisible, making it difficult for even cultivators to discover.

The ‘Suanni Qi’ inheritance was miraculous concealment art that could hide someone from even the heavens itself.

When activated, the user and their aura would vanish completely and perfectly blend into their surroundings. Even ghosts and spirits would be hard-pressed to discover their presence!

Lin Xun had only managed to gain a little proficiency in the ‘Suanni Qi’ and was at most able to conceal himself and his aura. Moreover, he would immediately be revealed the moment he moved.

If he were to achieve full mastery of the ‘Suanni Qi’, he would not only be able to conceal himself, but also mountains, rivers, and even an entire world, making them impossible for people to detect!

“It’s like Hu Tong predicted. To stop the secret in Tiger Canyon from being leaked, the Brute Tribes have dispatched numerous power experts to pursue the empire cultivators…”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun finally ascertained Tiger Canyon’s location and swiftly headed toward it.

He had promised Hu Tong and the others that he would help them buy enough time to escape to the empire camp.

To achieve this, he needed to keep all the pursuers busy.

Since there were too many enemies, Lin Xun would never be able to hunt them down one by one.

However, it wasn’t impossible to realize his goal. He could always stir up a huge commotion in Tiger Canyon!

The treasure in Tiger Canyon was occupying all of the Brute experts’ attention. If some chaos were to happen there, the enemies that were searching for Hu Tong and the others would definitely abandon their tasks and head back to reinforce Tiger Canyon.

This would be equivalent to giving Hu Tong and the others more time and opportunity to return to camp!

……

In Tiger Canyon, She Zhen’s complexion was still a little pale as he sneered, “More than a dozen Enlightened Spirit experts have been sent out and each of them is no weaker than me, It will be a joke if that little shit survives!”

The mighty and fearsome ‘Thunder Blood Sickle’ currently had a waxy complexion and looked to be in bad shape.

He had lost an arm to an arrow previously and nearly lost his life. Even now, the serious injuries he sustained had yet to heal.

Beside him, Yan Chixing was gritting his teeth in agony with a similarly ashen complexion. He was worse off than She Zhen as everything below his abdomen had been destroyed by an arrow, leaving only the top half of his body intact.

Even if he managed to recover, the graveness of his injuries made it such that his strength would not fully recover in a short span of time.

At another corner, the Darkness Brute Enlightened Spirit expert resentfully said, “Don’t worry, our camp has dispatched our top forces this time that will be able to sweep away even the top Cyclic Derivation experts from the human empire, let alone a mere Heaven Ascension trash.”

He was called Yin Beigu and was in the worst condition among them. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, and there was not a single patch of intact skin on him. It was as if his entire body had been shattered, and his bones, tendons, and flesh smashed. It was hard to believe that he was still alive.

“It’s a huge disgrace!” She Zhen was also still resentful.

He was an Enlightened Spirit expert who had fought in Blood Kill Battlefield for many years. However, he had been gravely injured by a Heaven Ascension human youngster today. When word of this spread, he would become a laughing stock in the Brute Tribes.

Yan Chixing and Yin Beigu tried to console him, “He will not survive. No need to get so worked up.”

Boom!

An explosion suddenly sounded from the entrance of Tiger Canyon along with several screams. The noise was so loud that it could even be heard deep inside the canyon.

“What happened?” She Zhen rose to his feet. Despite his heavy injuries, he still gave off a terrifying pressure.

Yan Chixing and Yin Beigu had bewildered and uncertain looks. Who would dare to trespass into Tiger Canyon at this juncture?

“Oh no! The powerful experts have all gone to pursue the human cultivators, and there are none left in the canyon!” Yan Chixing’s expression changed drastically at the realization.

“It’s fine, Tiger Canyon is covered in the Brute Blood Magi Array. Even a human Life Death Stage King would be unable to immediately break in.” Yin Beigu appeared very calm in comparison.

She Zhen and Yan Chixing relaxed upon hearing this, however, they also recalled a certain scene.

When the Heaven Ascension youngster left, he had slapped open a hole in the Brute Blood Magi Array…

It can’t be him!

The two of them did not believe that Lin Xun would return after fleeing.

At the entrance of Tiger Canyon.

Lin Xun stepped through the dust and boldly advanced as numerous Brute elites charged at him.

The Broken Blade in his hand hacked and slashed, sending heads rolling and blood splattering.

In the distance, a Brute elite suddenly shook with alarm and fear when he identified Lin Xun.

Didn’t that damned human youngster escape? Why is he back?

Before he could shout to warn the others, a flash of blade light severed his head, sending it spinning into the air.

“Human trash? How dare you come alone to Tiger Canyon? You must be tired of living!”

Numerous Brute elites had been recently dispatched to Tiger Canyon as reinforcements. Hence, they did not recognize Lin Xun nor knew about the terrible damage he had caused previously.

They murderously and menacingly glared at him. There was no lack of Great Magi experts among them.

Lin Xun was unfazed. He said nothing as he walked forward with the Broken Blade, leaving a silver starry river in his wake.

Rumble!

With furious earth-shaking roars, a dozen Brute elites ferociously charged at him together, creating a terrifying sight of imminent violence and brutality.

Plop plop plop…

However, Lin Xun was quicker. His blade moved like lightning, instantly slaying a dozen elites. Severed limbs were sent flying in the air as blood splattered across the earth, dyeing it red.

The other Brute elites were overwhelmed by terror. Was this a human or a demon? Despite being alone, the youngster easily cut through all of them like a knife through butter. It was terrifying, to say the least.

Lin Xun had originally been very cautious when he arrived at Tiger Canyon. However, after some scouting, he was surprised to discover that there were no powerful experts present, only several squads of Brute elites. Although they were numerous in number, they were no threat to him.

From this, Lin Xun surmised that the powerful experts were all busy tracking down Hu Tong and the others. Moreover, the enemy clearly did not expect that he would return.

“Oh no! A peak expert is attacking us!”

“Quick, quickly hide in the Brute Blood Magi Array!”

After witnessing the bloody scenes, the remaining Brute elites scurried back into the Brute Blood Magi Array.

“Little shit, just wait and see. You’re dead when our experts return!”

One of the Brute elites shouted, evidently no longer afraid. He was confident that Lin Xun could not enter the Brute Blood Magi Array.

However, the following scene stupefied all of them/

Lin Xun walked forward, kicked open a hole in the array, and strolled in…

This…

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Several Brute elites stationed inside finally identified LIn Xun, causing them to shriek in fear―

“My god, that demon youngster is back!”
