The Prodigies War

“Damn brute bastards, you are so cunning and despicable!” Zhangsun Lie hissed through gritted teeth, and his eyes shot out threatening sparks as they opened and closed.

Qin Chu also lost his usual elegance as he groused in an exasperated manner, “Do you see? This is the trouble that the kid caused!”

“Are you afraid?” Zhangsun Lie was fuming inside. How can he say such words at such a time?!

“This is not about whether I am scared or not, but the survival of an army camp!” Qin Chu thundered.

Zhangsun Lie did not bother arguing with him. Further disputes would no doubt affect the morale of the army.

In the camp, a sharp-eyed cultivator exclaimed, “No! The enemy...There are four brute kings on the enemy’s side!”

A tossed stone stirred up thousands of waves. The exclamation almost set off a commotion. The empire cultivators who were ready for battle suddenly all inhaled sharply.

The discovery was like a direct blow to the head and the morale of the 7th camp took a hit.

Four brute kings had been dispatched together. The combined power was so terrifying that they almost lost all hope!

The atmosphere in the camp suddenly seemed to be frozen. Every cultivators’ face was overcast, and their emotions were rapidly fluctuating.

“What are you afraid of? The 7th camp has been standing for thousands of years and has seen countless storms. It’s not like anything more dangerous has happened to us before!” Zhangsun Lie’s voice echoed like thunder. “All the rune masters should get ready to activate the Eight Poles Saint Array!”

Eight Poles Saint Array!

His voice made many cultivators breathe a sigh of relief.

Thousands of years ago, the founding emperor specially invited a rune founder of the Saint Path from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to the Blood Kill Battlefield to set up a defensive formation for each of the eight army camps of the empire.

Every large formation was engraved with secret runes of the Saint Path and contained earthshaking powers.

Additionally, the eight formations could integrate together to form a magnificent large-scale formation!

However, tremendous amounts of power were required to activate the saint array so the empire never activated it until absolutely necessary.

The situation in front of them was so critical that Zhangsun Lie had no choice but to issue the order.

The tense and uneasy atmosphere that shrouded the camp eased, and the empire cultivators regained their composure.

Only Qin Chu was still frowning. He couldn’t help but send a voice transmission to Zhangsun Lie. “Our current supplies are only enough to last until the next time the passage to the empire is opened. If we activate the Eight Poles Saint Array, the remaining supplies will likely be used up within ten days!”

“You must be more aware of the serious consequences of having no more supplies more than me!”

Zhangsun Lie sighed, “There is no other way. The only thing we can do now is to fight! How can we control the future? Of course, it depends on the situation. Let’s see if the brute bastards dare to start a war first!”

In the distance, the army was pushing towards their territory like a tide. They came to a stop thousands of feet from the camp.

They were all emitting strong murderous intent. Even if they had not charged forward into the territory, their surging killing intent was enough to turn the atmosphere oppressive and suffocating.

Amid the chilling murderous atmosphere, Zhangsun Lie threw his head back and laughed loudly, “I wondered who it would be. It turns out to be King Gui Ling, King Qing Yun, King Ning Yue and King Bi Cang! What?! Do you guys not want to live anymore?” He soared into the air and his voice vibrated the surroundings like a rumble of thunder.

An old man stepped forward in the Magi Brute Army. He was enveloped in gray mist like a mysterious shadow.

“Zhangsun Lie, I didn’t come here to quarrel with you. You must have realized our purpose for coming here. Hand over Lin Twelve, and I will turn around and leave immediately. We won’t invade your camp. If not, then don’t blame me when I flatten your camp!”

The old man was precisely King Gui Ling. His eerie voice sent a shiver down people’s spines and brought goosebumps to their arms.

He was a brute king, but also an expert in the way of assassination! His name had long spread throughout the Blood Kill Battlefield.

Lin Twelve!

As expected, the large-scale war that was about to break out was caused by Young Master Lin!

All the cultivators in the 7th army camp were struck with horror. It hasn’t been long since Young Master Lin has come to the Blood Kill Battlefield yet he already has the influence to trigger the enemy to start a war.

“Hahaha, you guys are so arrogant! Do you think that you can force me to bow my head just because you have dispatched four Life Death Stage Kings?”

Zhangsun Lie roared with laughter, but his face remained ice-cold. “Do you want to take Lin Twelve? Keep dreaming! As long as I am around, I won’t let you even if you launch a full-scale war!”

King Gui Ling’s expression remained unchanged as he said leisurely, “I have to admit that it will be quite difficult to flatten this place if the Eight Poles Saint Array is set up. But from what I know, your supplies are running out. If you set up the Eight Poles Saint Array, it likely won’t last until the next time you receive supplies from the empire.”

Many empire cultivators’ expressions changed.

Zhangsun Lie also narrowed his eyes, realizing that the enemy had come prepared!

“It’s not good. They have already figured out our situation.” Qin Chu’s face grew overcast. Then, his eyes suddenly glinted and he sent a voice transmission to Zhangsun Lie. “Isn’t Lin Twelve not in the campground? We might as well tell them the truth and send them away to deal with Lin Xun. That way, we can buy some time and ask for reinforcements from other camps!”

“Enough!” Zhangsun Lie snapped. “I will never do something so despicable!”

“You…” Qin Chu’s face darkened.

“If you are afraid then leave!” Zhangsun Lie scolded, becoming more and more annoyed with Qin Chu. He would have beaten him up if the enemy army wasn’t pushing forward into their territory.

He just wants to direct all the troubles to Lin Twelve! I, Zhangsun Lie, will never do such a shameless thing.

“Okay, okay, let’s see how you are going to solve the predicament in front of us!” Qin Chu’s face distorted in anger.

Zhangsun Lie snorted and ignored him.

“Zhangsun Lie, have you thought it through? If we start a war, we might suffer some damage, but you will be forced to activate the Eight Poles Saint Array. If you run out of supplies…I don’t think you can bear the consequences.” King Gui Ling reminded him once again, oozing superiority as though victory was within his grasp.

The cultivators looked at each other in dismay in the 7th army camp. They were at a loss on what to do, knowing that they could neither advance nor retreat now.

“I don’t need to think about it. If you want to fight, then let’s fight, if you don’t want to fight, then get lost!” Zhangsun Lie bellowed without any wavering.

“Hahaha, since that’s the case then don’t blame us later. But, to be honest, I didn’t intend to be nice when I came here!” King Gui Ling chuckled, his eerie aura rising around him.

“I already said earlier that this is the best time to beat the drowning dogs! They lack military supplies and won’t dare to start a full-scale war!” A brilliant green figure emerged, covered with mysterious totems over his body. It was King Qing Yun from the Wood Tribe.

“Don’t waste any more time. Let’s fight! It has been a long time since I’ve witnessed the power of the Eight Poles Saint Array. Let’s see if the 7th army camp can stop us this time!” King Ning Yue also appeared. His mighty figure made him seem unshakable.

“Hurry up, I don’t want the cultivators from other camps of the empire to be able to come to their rescue. I’ll already be very satisfied if we can take the opportunity to sever Zhangsun Lie’s head!” Amid the sound of crashing waves, a slender and majestic figure emerged. It was King Bi Cang from the Water Tribe.

“Kill!” The great magi brute soldiers roared simultaneously, shaking the clouds in all directions and bringing a wave of murderous intent to envelop the area.

All cultivators in the 7th army camp donned solemn expressions, ready to fight.

Meanwhile, all rune masters shifted their gazes to Zhangsun Lie. Should they activate the Eight Poles Saint Array?

“Don’t forget that the consequences are serious!” Qin Chu couldn’t help but remind him again.

Zhangsun Lie fell silent for a rare moment.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with determination. “If I can’t protect a youngster of our empire then I might as well die today!” His voice was resounding and unwavering.

“Fight!”

The cultivators’ eyes also reflected his blazing determination. They felt the blood pulsing through their veins. How could they not be furious that the enemy was bullying them at their door?

They were the sons of the empire. They had never cowered from battle!

“Then let’s fight!” Zhangsun Lie waved his hand, signaling the activation of the Eight Poles Saint Array when a figure rose into the sky.

“General, I would like to help you with my bow!”

Of course, the figure was Lin Xun. He had returned to the camp without anyone realizing it.

Lin Xun’s appearance moved all the cultivators of the empire while Qin Chu stood there stunned. He never thought that the youngster would show up at such a dangerous time.

On the other side, the four brute kings’ eyes were gleaming wickedly. Their purpose in coming was to kill the teenager!

Even Zhangsun Lie was taken aback.

“General, take this!” Lin Xun handed the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow to Zhangsun Lie.

The bone bow body buzzed longingly like it had sensed the chilling and murderous atmosphere.
