The Prodigies War

Chapter 936 Amazing Sword

It was a golden leaf from the Golden News Tree—a gift from Bai Fengliu.

When Bai Fengliu heard that Lin Xun planned to head to the East Infinity World to find out more about Yun Qingbai, he was shocked at first, but he didn’t question him further, and instead, he spent a whole day to make a trip back to the Wind Speaker Clan’s residence.

When he returned, he handed this golden leaf to Lin Xun.

The leaf contained records about a battle of Yun Qingbai, which was accidentally seen by investigators of the Wind Speaker Clan. But because Yun Qingbai had too great an influence in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, the higher-ups of the Windspeaker Clan had to freeze the news and stop it before it spread.

This time, Bai Fengliu came forward and begged to have the golden leaf. Otherwise, the information it recorded might never have the chance to see daylight again as long as Yun Qingbai was still alive.

Buzz—

Following a peculiar ripple, the golden leaf extended, produced a magnificent glow of light and transformed into a light screen.

The light screen presented the scene of a white-robed man standing by the banks of a blood-colored sea. His clothes billowed around him, and his black hair fluttered behind his face, revealing his calm and indifferent expression.

He had a majestic figure like a sword piercing the sky. His face was incomparably handsome, and even if he was standing still casually, he had a superior air around him and an unrivaled bearing.

As the blood-colored sea surged, it looked even more eerie and frightening. Amidst rumble and roars, a giant blood-colored dragon soared into the sky, lifting thousands of blood-colored waves into the air with it.

Its body was as thick as a building, and it spanned thousands of feet long. Its scales produced a cold sheen in the air, and its blood-colored eyes reflected the sky and a myriad of things like a lake.

Roar—

It raised its head high and unleashed a deafening roar. An indescribably terrifying aura permeated the world, causing the entire sea of blood to rage turbulently. The space within a radius of thousands of miles collapsed inch by inch. Its power was undeniably terrifying.

Even by just looking at it, Lin Xun felt a mountainous weight bearing down on him.

It was a blood-colored dragon that had reached the half-step king stage!

Moreover, the fact that it was from the ancient dragon bloodline meant that its combat power was more terrifying and powerful than that of other half-step kings.

The white-robed man moved. As he strode forward across the void, his body emitted fierce sword intent that soared into the sky like a sun releasing its dazzling rays of light.

Boom!

The blood-colored dragon swung its tail, casting a terrifying secret art. Countless blood-colored dao rune symbols rose into the air and enveloped the white-robed man.

However, before they neared him, they crumbled and dissipated like they had struck an invisible wall, unable to deal any damage at all.

Lin Xun’s pupils suddenly shrank. The invisible sword intent power seemed tangible and defended the white-robed man’s surroundings, making him indestructible to any attack!

The blood dragon was clearly infuriated as its glistening blood-colored body glowed brightly, followed by a ripple-like halo of light spreading across the void. It was a dao rune.

Boom!

The sky and the earth quaked. The blood-colored dao rune was obscure, mysterious, and filled with the power of the mighty dragon clan. It could turn the world dim and make everything collapse.

Lin Xun also wasn’t confident that he could block that blow without the help of the Nameless Pagoda and the No-Nonsense Bow.

However, the white-robed man only made a casual sweep of his hand in the air and he effortlessly destroyed it with the illusory sword intent.

Clang!

Then, the eyes of the white-robed man shot out a pair of blazing rainbows that intertwined in the air and fused to form a dao sword.

The sword was one meter long and four fingers wide, but it was covered densely with obscure markings. Its appearance sent the sky trembling and turned the void chaotic, while indescribably powerful sword intent flooded the world!

Lin Xun felt a stinging pain in his eyes and couldn’t see anything anymore.

At the same time, the light screen suddenly vanished, and the scenes abruptly ended. No one knew whether the blood-colored dragon survived under the amazing sword.

There was a palpable silence in the room as Lin Xun recalled the power of the sword. With each memory, his heart pounded uncontrollably. The great dao aura on the sword was too strong, sharp, and terrifying.

Before he knew it, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Yun Qingbai!

The white-robed man was the legendary figure known as the number one swordsman in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, an expert known to be invincible below the King Stage!

But for Lin Xun, that person only had one identity: the murderer who massacred his Lin Clan.

“Five years ago, he was already so strong…”

Lin Xun muttered, his heart weighing heavy in his chest. After witnessing Yun Qingbai’s battle, even if it was only a short scene, he realized how terrifyingly strong his enemy was.

Moreover, that was a battle five years ago. For an extraordinary figure like Yun Qingbai, five years was enough for his strength to transform once again!

Lin Xun couldn’t imagine how strong Yun Qingbai had become today.

“His power is very pure, and his foundation is extremely solid. His control of great dao power has reached the level of perfection. If I face him now, I am only twenty percent confident that I can defeat him. But if I want to kill him, I am only ten percent confident.” Xia Zhi spoke softly, her voice as clear and pleasant as the sounds of nature.

But her words turned Lin Xun’s expression graver and graver.

In the battle, Yun Qingbai was only at the advanced Cyclic Derivation Stage, but even Xia Zhi admitted that she wasn’t strong enough to kill him.

It had to be mentioned that Xia Zhi had effortlessly killed talented geniuses such as Mu Jianting and Li Qinghuan at the Dao Lantern Festival with only one move!

“But, he also can’t kill me,” Xia Zhi remarked seriously. Her little face was so beautiful that it made the world pale and looked pensive.

“If you fight against him now, your chance of winning is very slim.” Lin Xun reminded her, “This was a battle five years ago.”

“Then it’s even more hopeless for you,” Xia Zhi said aloud. This was Xia Zhi. She never lied to Lin Xun, and she never minced her words, but she did not do so to hurt Lin Xun.

Lin Xun fell silent. The strength of his enemy was far beyond his expectation. He came to realize that even if he found Yun Qingbai now, he had no hope of getting revenge.

“However, I have high hopes for you,” said Xia Zhi suddenly.

“Since when have I fallen to the point where I need you to comfort me?” Lin Xun said with a wry smile.

“I’m serious.” Xia Zhi stated, “Do you think I would misjudge you?”

“Um…” Lin Xun didn’t know how to answer her, but he really appreciated it. The scenes that showed the tremendous power of Yun Qingbai indeed had a huge impact on him.

“Believe me, you just started a little later than him. You will definitely surpass him in the future.” Xia Zhi spoke calmly but firmly like it was the truth. Undoubtedly, she had absolute confidence in Lin Xun.

Then, she went off to sleep.

Yun Qingbai might be very powerful, but he failed to pique her interest and affect her in any way.

In her world, perhaps, apart from cultivation, there was only space to accommodate Lin Xun.

……

Lin Xun rewatched the battle scenes recorded on the gold leaf over and over again.

However, his state of mind began to change, becoming much calmer and steadier. While he observed the strength of his energy, he also improved his own strength.

The best way to defeat an enemy was to understand the enemy thoroughly and comprehensively!

Yun Qingbai’s power astonished Lin Xun, but it also sparked his fighting spirit. He never gave up easily, otherwise, he wouldn’t have achieved everything he had now after leaving the remote mine prison by himself.

As Xia Zhi said, Yun Qingbai’s advantage over Lin Xun was that he had embarked on the cultivation path earlier than Lin Xun.

Before Lin Xun was born, Yun Qingbai was already a peerless and well-known figure in the Omega Sword Sect.

Moreover, Yun Qingbai didn’t gain his current strength today in a glorious way. The power he possessed didn’t all belong to him!

At the very least, without the Origin Aeth Artery that he took away from Lin Xun back then, he would never achieve the prestige he had today!

In contrast, the only thing that Lin Xun lacked was time.

“You are getting stronger, but so am I. One day, I will become stronger than you!”

After a long moment, Lin Xun drew a deep breath, and his mood became much more stable. He exuded a tranquil and ethereal aura as if he had undergone a transformation.

……

Half a month later.

The treasure ship that carried Lin Xun and the others finally arrived at the destination.

Wenshui City was located on the far east of West Infinity World and adjacent to the boundary river.

Compared with the past, recently, Wenshui City had become extremely lively with many cultivators gathered from all over the world.

The reason for that was very simple. The boundary river was changing and gradually receding, which was most likely a sign that the four worlds would soon reunite!

Many experts of the West Infinity World traveled all the way to Wenshui City to investigate the shocking change in the boundary river.

In addition, many experts who went to explore the boundary river found opportunities and treasures such as ancient items that had never been seen before, bizarre rune materials, and relics and fragments of antiques from ancient times.

These items were occasionally discovered in the past, but not as frequently as they had been found recently.

When the tide receded, it would leave behind shells and pearls on the sand.

Similarly, if the boundary river was indeed gradually receding, then the secrets and opportunities hidden within it would also be revealed to the world!

Regardless, all those signs pointed to the fact that some kind of shocking change was happening in the boundary river.

“Breaking news! An expert from the Silver Lightning Sable Clan risked his life to enter an ancient ruin in the boundary river and discovered a broken, blood-stained spear. Although it is damaged and rusty, the blood stains on it are filled with the aura of a real Saint!

“Presumably, the broken ancient spear has once drank the blood of a saint!”

As Lin Xun and his group entered Wenshui City, they coincidentally heard this piece of sensational news.
