The Prodigies War

Chapter 999 Three Punches

Under the respectful gazes of the disciples, the slender figure surrounded by divine flames gracefully landed on the ground.

She was pretty like a blooming flower, possessing beauty that could bring a state to ruin. She wore a fiery-red dress, and her glossy, snow-white skin looked so delicate that it would break at the slightest puff.

This was undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman.

She nonchalantly stood there while wisps of divine flames swirled around her. Even her jet-black hair gleamed dazzlingly with fire-like light, making her appear wild and willful.

Ling Hongjin!

She was one of Heaven Axis Holy Land’s core disciples and a supreme elite at the perfect Cyclic Derivation stage who boasted immeasurable battle power.

At the same time, she was also one of Heaven Axis Holy Land’s four ‘prided ladies.’ She was adored and pursued by countless young cultivators while also quite a famous individual.

Rumble!

The earth trembled as an imposing figure emerged from the rising dust. His eyes were as bright as swords, his body seemed to tower over others like a mountain, and his muscles looked as if they were cast from bronze, giving off an aggressive, oppressive aura.

His appearance was accompanied by an invisible, berserk aura that made him resemble an ancient barbarian god.

Li Zhannan!

He was also a core disciple like Ling Hongjin. He had extraordinary talent and was known to have an unyielding and overbearing character.

When the two of them appeared, the Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples camped at the entrance of the valley stopped hiding, and stepped out to greet them.

However, Ling Hongjin’s and Li Zhannan’s gazes passed over the crowd and focused on a certain rock in the valley.

The figure that was quietly seated there stood up in response and also looked at them.

Bang!

Their gazes clashed in the air like lightning bolts crossing in the sky as the space between them seemed to explode.

The nearby Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples began to suffocate as they felt a horrifying pressure spread across the area.

It was a battle of presence!

Ling Hongjin was akin to a fairy walking out from divine flames. Gorgeous divine flames freely surged from her body, chasing away the darkness of the night.

Li Zhannan was akin to a barbarian god. His imposing figure seemed more than capable of holding up the sky and gave others a sensation of infinite height. He was like a mountain looming over all things with unrivaled tyranny.

On the other hand, Lin Xun quietly stood there. His upright figure felt ungraspable as an ethereal immortal, and his presence was tinged with a strange feeling of emptiness.

Although the standoff appeared calm, Ling Hongjin’s and Li Zhannan's spreading pressure was soundlessly canceled out before they could even come close to Lin Xun’s body.

"Teacher-Uncle Wen is right, this person is the same as us. I’m not disappointed."

Li Zhannan’s deep voice boomed like thunder and rumbled in the valley, intimidating everyone.

Electricity seemed to flow in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xun with fierce and wild battle intent.

"Of course. After all, he’s the demon god who stirred up the West Infinity World. If he didn’t at least have some ability, why would we need to be dispatched?"

Ling Hongjin’s red lips parted slightly as a pair of candle-like flames seemed to burn in her beautiful eyes. She gave off a willful aura that made others afraid to look directly at her.

The Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples held their breaths while inwardly excited and awed.

These two individuals were core disciples and apex experts akin to the divine dragons in the heavens. They usually cultivated in the sect’s restricted area and were very seldom seen by the other disciples.

Hence, it was easy to imagine how shocking it was that two core disciples had been dispatched to deal with Demon God Lin from the West Infinity World.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was also sizing up the two of them. His eyes were calm and did not reveal any hint of emotion from start to end.

In truth, he couldn't help but inwardly sigh in admiration at the excellent foundations of these ancient orthodoxies. Supreme heaven prides that were rare in the outside world seemed commonplace in these powerful factions.

Ling Hongjin and Li Zhannan, for instance, had clearly also attained the supreme path. This showed just how terrifying Heaven Axis Holy Land's foundations were for nurturing such disciples.

"Why didn’t you escape?" Li Zhannan's eyes flashed as they locked onto Lin Xun.

He was feeling somewhat puzzled. From what he could tell, Lin Xun could have easily escaped instead of waiting for him and Ling Hongjin to arrive.

"I’ve said before that if you guys insist on being my enemy, you’ll have to consider whether you’ll be able to withstand my wrath."

The corners of Lin Xun's lips rose to form a grin. ''It’s clear that you guys refuse to listen. Since that's the case, why do I need to run?"

One of the Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples immediately rebuked, "What bold words! How dare you speak so arrogantly?! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

The other Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples icily chuckled. Did Demon God Lin still not understand the situation? If so, he was indeed an arrogant and fearless fool.

"In other words, you plan on fighting back?" Li Zhannan was surprised and felt incredulous.

"Correct, I’m fighting back. At the very least, I’m going to let you guys taste my wrath." Lin Xun nodded, appearing very composed.

Ling Hongjin nonchalantly remarked, "All I see is a desperate and foolish cornered dog." Although it was said with nonchalance, a touch of arrogance flowed from her words.

After all, this was the Ancient Blue Province, which was basically Heaven Axis Holy Land’s backyard. Hence, they found Lin Xun’s threat ridiculous.

A supreme path Cyclic Derivation expert might be extremely powerful among his peers, but he was ultimately still some ways off from becoming a proper powerhouse. Despite this, he still dared to talk so big. Was he tired of living?

"Leave him to me!"

Li Zhannan took a big step forward, causing the earth and nearby mountains to tremble as his presence grew increasingly oppressive.

"Senior Brother Li, go crush that bastard and make him kneel to repent for his sins!"

"Yeah! That arrogant bastard killed many of our fellow disciples. Blood debts must be paid in blood. He absolutely can't be allowed to escape again!"

The other Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples shouted.

"Be careful and don't try to tough it out. If you feel anything is off, feel free to let me handle him instead." A hint of teasing flashed in Ling Hongjin's beautiful eyes.

Li Zhannan icily snorted, "Humph! Don't worry, I'm more than enough!"

Boom!

He strode forth, and his presence abruptly changed. The land shuddered with every step as his aura began to climb.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After nine steps, dazzling golden light rose from his imposing body. He resembled a mighty sun that illuminated the mountains and rivers, while his aura grew terrifying to the extreme.

The ground cracked like a spider web, the rocks on the nearby mountains were shaken loose and tumbled down, and the air emitted an ear-piercing hissing noise.

Heaven Shaking Nine Steps!

It was a secret combat art that activated the user’s strength, causing the user’s combat power to jump to a new high for a short period of time!

Li Zhannan clearly understood that Lin Xun was a formidable expert like himself. Hence, he didn't show any contempt or negligence.

"Strong!"

"As expected of a core disciple. When will people like us gain such power?"

The Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples’ hearts trembled as they looked at Li Zhannan in fervent admiration.

Ling Hongjin inwardly nodded in approval. She was originally worried that Li Zhannan would underestimate the opponent, but it was now clear that he was being far more cautious than she had expected.

This was the correct way!

After all, before arriving here, they had heard that Elder Wen Xingzhou, who was well-known to be one of the strongest half-step King experts, had suffered at the hands of Lin Xun.

This clearly showed just how strong he was.

However, there was still something she didn’t understand. If this was the desperate counterattack of a cornered dog, there was no need for him to wait here for death, right?

"I'll give you a chance to fight me. Give it your all or you'll only die with regrets."

Li Zhannan's majestic figure was suffused with a golden tidal wave-like aura like a mighty dragon rushing into the sky. His presence alone would crush the spirit of any ordinary Cyclic Derivation expert and make them despair.

In response to the provocation, Lin Xun showed three fingers. "Three punches."

His tone was as casual as it could possibly be.

The Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples were taken aback. Three punches? Was he declaring that he intended to defeat Senior Brother Li Zhannan within three punches?

Wasn’t that way too boastful?

Their expressions immediately turned incomparably angry.

Ling Hongjin displayed an odd look. She had heard of Demon God Lin’s extremely reckless and willful character, but she never imagined that he would be this crazy.

Three punches?

Even the number one core disciple, Chu Beihai, wouldn’t dare to make such a claim!

"Brother Li, did you hear that? He claims he’s going to kill you with three punches." Her eyes twinkled as she displayed a wide smile.

Li Zhannan also thought that he had misheard at first, but realized it wasn’t a mistake when he saw Lin Xun's calm and serious expression.

This caused uncontrollable fury to emerge between Li Zhannan’s rows as his expression turned ice-cold. Was this a provocation of his dignity?

It seemed that he wasn’t afraid of death at all!

"The first punch."

Lin Xun didn't waste any more time and leaped forward to attack.

Yazi’s Rage was activated.

The Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art rushed forth...

All of his power converged into his right arm as he stepped forward and a punch suddenly burst forth.

It was dazzling, blazing, and immeasurable as the abyss!

Although it did appear quite powerful to the others, it wasn’t strong enough to warrant any shock.

Li Zhannan, however, felt a horrifying killing intent assault him.

The images of landslides, tsunamis, spatial collapse, dragons roaring, phoenixes crying out, and other scenes of destruction appeared before his eyes.

The fist-force seemed to carry the will of destruction and could disrupt even the mind!

Li Zhannan's blood ran cold. His expression immediately turned incomparably grave as he was forced to respond with his strongest trump card.

"Subdue!"

He bellowed like an ancient barbarian god as a vigorous and barbaric palm seal condensed in his hand.

Heaven Axis Space Subduing Seal!

The moment the first-class supreme-grade dao art was executed, a palm descended from the heavens like a divine mountain. It crushed the five elements, broke the void, and seemed to be capable of subduing all things.

Boom!

The two forces collided with a loud boom. The mountains in the vicinity of the valley collapsed in unison while the rocks and grass on the ground turned to dust.

The unrivaled power of the fist and palm swept outwards, causing the surrounding space to wail and ripple while the birds and beasts far away shrieked in terror.

In the valley, Li Zhannan was knocked away as if hit by a giant hammer and flew more than a hundred feet backward. His qi and blood flow was disrupted, his vision turned black, and he nearly vomited blood.

The crowd was horrified as they stared in disbelief.

Ling Hongjin's stunningly beautiful face turned grave. Flames blazed from her body like a volcano that was about to erupt.

How could a single punch be so terrifying?

This was something no one could have anticipated.
