The Prodigies War

Bang!

Li Qinghuan’s body was thrown to the ground, his face still contorted with shock and bewilderment before death.

He didn’t expect to die so tragically.

Moreover, he didn’t expect that he would follow in Mu Jianting’s footsteps—killed in the blink of an eye by a mysterious girl who appeared out of nowhere.

All of this was so shocking that it chilled Shang Jia and the others to the core, and their souls almost left their bodies.

Both Mu Jianting and Li Qinghuan were peerless geniuses of the younger generation in the West Infinity World. They were known for their outstanding talents and superior combat strength. Moreover, they came from ancient sects and clans and held life-protecting trump cards in their hands.

However, they were slaughtered in one strike. The girl’s simple and direct method of killing was undeniably too unbelievable.

Who was she?

Could she be a Life Death Stage King?

But her aura was only at the level of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, even though it was extremely unique as if it existed in darkness and did not belong to this world.

A wave of panic swept Shang Jia and the others. The number one fortune might be in front of them, but when they realized that their lives were at serious risk, they couldn’t care less about it.

“Run!”

Without any discussion, they fled haphazardly, rushing down the dao altar.

Shua!

However, the girl moved even faster than them. In a flash, she was already standing at the exit of the path leading to the bottom of the altar, holding out her purple spear to block them.

The light of eternal night lingered around her as if darkness had enveloped this area. A look of sheer terror washed over everyone’s faces.

Even the experts who had surrounded Bai Lingxi in the distance were shocked by the scene and decided to give up on targeting Bai Lingxi. Instead, they vigilantly watched from afar.

The girl was too mysterious and terrifying, making them aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Bai Lingxi took the opportunity to escape and came to stand beside Lin Xun.

She was wounded all over, and her pretty face was pale almost to the point of transparent, but she was as shocked as the others. She couldn’t imagine where Lin Xun found the powerful little girl.

“Are you not worried that we can go and kill Lin Xun if you just stand there?” a cultivator questioned, his expression dark and unpleasant.

But Xia Zhi responded in a very simple way. She threw the purple spear out of her hand.

The surrounding space shattered, and the air formed turbulent currents. The purple spear had to be some kind of remarkable treasure given its terrifying and invincible powers.

Pu!

Before the cultivator who threatened her could move an inch, the spear shot through his body and he fell head first to the ground.

A genius figure died just like that!

For many cultivators, a peerless genius was like an unshakable and insurmountable mountain peak.

But to Xia Zhi, he was as weak as a chicken, unable to withstand a single blow.

She reaped his soul away in one move. From the beginning to the end, she never uttered a sound. Her indifference made her even more terrifying in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone visibly tensed up, feeling a chill run down their spines. They felt seriously threatened despite all the powerful trump cards they had up their sleeves.

They lost their usual confidence, worried whether they could resolve the danger.

Shua!

However, while they were hesitating whether to go all out or not, Xia Zhi made a move before them.

She seemed to have lost her patience and wanted to put an end to the battle. She raised the purple spear in her hand, and her figure turned hazy as she walked across the battlefield.

Some people were delighted, thinking that they had a chance to escape.

But before they reached the exit, they were slaughtered on the spot, dyeing the ground a ghastly red.

During this process, many experts resisted and brought out their trump cards, but it was all futile.

The girl seemed invincible as if she existed in the darkness of eternal night. Once the purple spear was brought out, its destructive power would instantly end all lives.

Shang Jia and the others would not just stand and do nothing. They decided to go out and fight back with their trump cards. Suddenly, the area was filled with divine brilliance and various ancient treasures danced across the air, adding to the already shocking spectacle.

Buzz!

The girl raised her hand into the air, and a black umbrella sprang into the sky, wildly releasing the light of eternal darkness to destroy and obstruct all arts and ancient treasures. It was incredibly bizarre.

Pu!

Meanwhile, she continued to charge forward, killing down an opponent with every blink of an eye. Blood constantly bloomed in the sky like fireworks.

It wasn’t a battle; it was a one-sided massacre!

If this matter spread to the outside world, it would no doubt trigger an unprecedented storm and shake the whole world!

……

Lin Xun gasped in disbelief.

Xia Zhi’s power had clearly surpassed the boundaries of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, but the aura around her was still at the level of the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

Lin Xun was certain that even he couldn’t compete with Xia Zhi in terms of combat strength.

“What level of power is that?” Lin Xun was perplexed. He was only certain of one thing: Xia Zhi had not reached the absolute apex, but the power she had grasped was too strong.

Bai Lingxi’s countenance also changed, and she was unable to calm her emotions. She had never seen such a bizarre and frightening scene until now.

A young girl treated a group of peerless geniuses as trash and slaughtered them like chickens. Those bloody scenes of slaughter felt as unreal as a nightmare.

……

Ji Xingyao, Luo Jia, Shi Yun and others who were competing for the number one fortune all stopped in their tracks.

They thought that they could take advantage of the perfect opportunity to seize the bronze bell on the table, but they were wrong.

They had all been wounded in the fierce melee.

Moreover, when they noticed Xia Zhi had appeared out of nowhere and overpowered everyone with absolute strength, they were also shaken and riotous waves rolled up in their hearts.

When Lin Xun killed Yu Lingkong, he demonstrated earthshaking powers.

But the mysterious girl seemed even more frightening than him. From the beginning to the end, no one could stop her from killing!

Out of a kind of instinctive fear and cautiousness, they all stopped at the same time and faced the unexpected situation with utmost guardedness.

……

Blood splattered, and screams echoed.

The dao altar had become a purgatory.

Xia Zhi was dressed in a black cloak that couldn’t hide her graceful figure and armed with an unassuming purple spear. Her speed seemed slow, but she was actually incredibly fast, as if she was teleporting.

The most unbelievable thing was that her bare feet were still clean and untainted by a speck of blood or dust, and her entire body was enveloped in the light of eternal night. The bloodstained ground, her graceful figure flickering in the eternal darkness, and her spotless bare feet together presented a strange yet shocking scene.

Xia Zhi resembled a king walking through the darkness. She was alone, but she seemed to be the ruler of the eternal night.

Pu!

The last expert was killed, and his body splashed into a pool of blood.

Only then did everyone jolted awake like it was a dream. When they saw corpses strewn across the ground, puddles of scarlet blood dotting the place and the girl standing by herself, an unprecedented chill rushed up in their hearts.

What kind of girl is she?

No one knew.

Everyone, including Lin Xun, knew very little about the origin of Xia Zhi.

“So they were fighting for that treasure.” Suddenly, Xia Zhi shifted her gaze onto the bronze bell on the distant table.

Ji Xingyao, Luo Jia and the others all instantly raised their guard, ready to make a move. Xia Zhi might possess unimaginably strong powers, but they had trump cards that could compete with her.

However, no one would bring it out until the critical moment.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, feeling a little uneasy that a fight might break out between Xia Zhi and Ji Xingyao and the others.

Both Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia were in no way inferior to Yu Lingkong. Moreover, they also very likely owned rare Saint treasures.

To fight against them, one couldn’t rely solely on strength.

For example, Lin Xun might have been successful in killing Yu Lingkong, but he was still severely wounded by the Longevity Palace and forced into a precarious situation.

Lin Xun did not want the same thing to happen to Xia Zhi.

However, unexpectedly, the indifferent voice that had been silent all this time rang out once again, “Your path clashes with the fortune, you are not fated with it, please leave!”

Xia Zhi raised her brows ,and her clear eyes glowed with a frightening power.

Ji Xingyao, Luo Jia and the others were taken aback at first before their faces lit up with joy and surprise. It proved that the girl lost the qualification to compete for the number one fortune!

Who would want to fight against Xia Zhi? They had witnessed how powerful she was. No one would want to fight to the death with such a strong opponent if they had a choice.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xun grabbed Bai Lingxi’s hand and hurried towards the exit of the altar.

“Do you not want it?” Xia Zhi asked in surprise.

“It’s more important to protect your life.” Lin Xun said, grabbing Xia Zhi’s arm and bolting down the altar.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but turn her head back to look at the bronze bell on the table, but in the end, she resisted the urge and left with Lin Xun.

In the past, she was also like this. As long as Lin Xun was around her, she never cared about anything else.

Just like what she said back then, her world was very small, and there was only space for Lin Xun.

Lin Xun’s sudden departure caught Ji Xingyao, Luo Jia and the others by surprise.

He managed to get this far after surviving countless dangers and attacks. Does he plan to give up now?

If that’s the case then why did he fight to the death with Yu Lingkong?

If that’s the case then why did he have to fight the Longevity Palace and almost lose his life?

Is he willing to give up like that after paying such a huge price?

……

Of course, Lin Xun was unwilling, but he knew that Xia Zhi had lost the qualification to compete for the fortune while he had yet to recover from his serious condition and Bai Lingxi had sustained too many injuries to protect him. If he still wanted to compete with Ji Xingyao and the others in that state, then his chance of succeeding was very slim.

Therefore, he quickly decided to give up.

Of course, there was a more important reason: too many genius figures had died today. The influential figures behind them were all waiting for them in the outside world. When the fight for the fortune came to an end, they would inevitably have to face many unpredictable retaliation and attacks the moment they stepped out of Cangwu Mountain.

Therefore, they had to leave before everyone else.

Otherwise, if they waited until the Dao Lantern Festival ended, then it would be too late to leave then.

Regardless of how tempting the number one fortune was, if Lin Xun had to fight for it at the risk of his life then it wouldn’t be worth it.
