The Prodigies War-Novel

Lin Xun coldly watched everything.

The aura around Zhao Yuanji resonated with the ancient palace in a unique way, making him becthe target of everyone.

Regardless of whether it was the Magi Brute Camp, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, or the terrifying creatures in the Mulberry Woodland, no one would allow Zhao Yuanji to enter the ancient palace alive.

Thus, a fierce Quasi-Emperor battle broke out.

Although Zhao Yuanji saw a glimmer of hope with Lin Xun’s sudden appearance, the terrifying creatures who had been indifferently watching from afar also raised their vigilance as a result.

In their view, the power of Zhao Yuanji and the others had skyrocketed after Lin Xun and the seven fierce creatures joined them.

The moment that Zhao Yuanji chose to enter the palace, it would be impossible for any of the forces, whether it was the Magi Brute Camp, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races or the terrifying creatures of the woodland, to compete with Zhao Yuanji and the others.

This was a threat that no one could ignore!

Thus, the terrifying creatures who had been watching on the sidelines could no longer sit back and chose to deal with Zhao Yuanji and the others together with Wu Jiuzhong and others.

This was why they were ambushing them.

Lin Xun realized this. Zhao Yuanji and the others also realized it. Their hearts sank, knowing that the situation had turned more bleak than before.

The atmosphere turned heavy and oppressive, like a storm was brewing.

As Lin Xun watched one terrifying creature step out from the shadows after another, just like one threat appearing after another, he could not help but scrunch his brows and clench the token given to him by Lone Man.

“Zhao Yuanji, I can give you a chance. If you withdraw, we guarantee to not make things difficult for you,” resounded Wu Jiuzhong’s deep voice.

One had to pay a huge price to fight against a group of Quasi-Emperors. No one would want to risk their lives if there was no guarantee of victory.

Especially since that, in addition to Zhao Yuanji, there was also Lin Xun and seven fierce creatures with extremely powerful combat strength.

“That’s right, as long as you withdraw from this, we have no objections about the others joining in,” Gou Tianxing stated aloud. He had the appearance of a handsyoung man with an elegant and charismatic demeanor.

Before Zhao Yuanji could say anything, Lin Xun sniggered out loud, “Ridiculous. Do you think you can order us about after forming a clique?”

“Nonsense! Is a little guy like you qualified to speak here?” Wu Jiuzhong thundered, his face darkening.

“Old beast, do you dare to cout and fight?” As Lin Xun stepped forward, the seven fierce creatures behind him also moved.

Wu Jiuzhong’s eyelids twitched, and his face turned livid.

He was a Quasi-Emperor!

In the past, if a tiny ant dared to jump out in front of him, then he would have crushed him to death, but now...

He had to forcibly endure it.

“The fox using the tiger’s power. You only know how to rely on external power, be careful of your mind going astray!” Wu Jiuzhong uttered coldly.

“Haha.” Lin Xun laughed, “Old thing, take a look at yourself, are you not forming cliques and using the power of others to oppress people? I can’t believe you have the audacity to say that, don’t you have any shame?”

“You…” Murderous intent swirled in Wu Jiuzhong’s eyes.

If the killing intent of a quasi-emperor was ignited, the great power of heaven and earth would be triggered.

But before the power caused by the terrifying murderous intent could touch Lin Xun, it was invisibly dissolved, leaving Lin Xun completely unharmed.

Wu Jiuzhong was so frustrated that he almost coughed up blood.

A high and mighty Quasi-Emperor could do nothing about an insignificant ant that he considered much beneath him. This was simply torture.

Lin Xun grinned, a look of contempt on his face.

In the past, he, of course, would not dare to disrespect a Quasi-Emperor, but now, he was unafraid.

Not only did he have seven fierce creatures around him, but he also had a trick or two up his sleeve. He was not afraid of making things worse.

Moreover, the reason why he interjected before Zhao Yuanji could say anything was because he was worried that Zhao Yuanji would agree to withdraw from the competition.

He could not let that happen.

It would be injustice!

They were all here to compete for the great opportunity, so how could the others force him to withdraw?

“Hmph! Young man, with the power around you, you can’t stop us. I advise you to shut up now, otherwise the first one to die will be a piece of trash like you.”

Suddenly, a demonic-looking flower whirled into the air, appearing in everyone’s field of vision. The petals were like crystals, sprinkling a shower of light that turned into billions of misty sword qi. A frightening aura filled the air.

Wu Jiuzhong and the others were all startled, visibly wary of the demonic flower, but they all lit up with joy.

With that demonic flower on their side, they were much more confident in killing Zhao Yuanji!

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanji and the others narrowed their eyes solemnly. They all knew about the terror of the demonic flower.

“That’s a Thousand Feather Sword Flower, an ancient species of flower raised by heaven and earth. It got its nas early as the ancient era. It is only one step away from entering the emperor realm and it is the one of the living things that you must not mess with in the Mulberry Woodland.” Zhao Tailai’s voice rang in Lin Xun’s ear.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes narrowed, but he sneered out loud, “You had the courage to calltrash just because you have that crappy flower.”

All the Quasi-Emperors looked at him in disbelief, as if they thought they heard it wrong.

In the entire world, no one, not even Quasi-Emperors would dare to snub the Thousand Feather Sword Flower, but now, a young man who had yet to reach the Saint Stage was insulting the Thousand Feather Sword Flower!

The scene fell rather quiet.

The Thousand Feather Sword Flower swayed while billions of wisps of sword qi circulated it. Enraged, it unleashed a gush of terrifying sword killing intent that stirred the nine heavens.

At the stime, a heart riddled with thousands of holes appeared above Lin Xun, releasing a stream of invisible power to protect him.

The space was torn and shattered around Lin Xun by the invisible oppressive power of a Quasi-Emperor, but where Lin Xun stood, it was still and calm.

“Crappy flower,” Lin Xun sneered.

Surprisingly, the Thousand Feather Sword Flower turned calm and a cold and low voice sounded, “You won’t escape this time.”

The area rocked like an earth tremor, and then a white ox with snow-white fur darted through the sky, its body bathed in a divine glow.

Sitting astride the back of the white ox was a boy in colorful clothing and a blood-red lotus leaf on his head. He had a young and child-like face, but his eyes were filled with fierce and menacing qi.

He commanded the white ox onto the battlefield, ran his eyes over everyone and said in a displeased tone, “The great opportunity has descended, but you guys are still wasting your there. What’s more, do you not think you are degrading yourself by squabbling with an unenlightened brat?” A young boy lectured the Quasi-Emperors, but surprisingly, neither Wu Jiuzhong nor the Thousand Feather Sword Flower rebutted and just kept silent.

Zhao Yuanji’s expression changed slightly, and his whole body seemed to be tensing up.

“Why would it be him…” The Qinglu Academy Principal’s face becovercast.

“Ancestor Blood Lotus! That guy is an extremely terrifying existence. His true body was a Blood Lotus born in this land of chaos. Countless years ago, he was awakened and ascended the dao. He has the appearance of a child, but in fact he is callous, murderous and bloodthirsty, killing without batting an eye!”

Controlling the shock in his heart, Zhao Tailai sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun, “Even if uninjured, my elder brother and the others and I can just about deal with Ancestor Blood Lotus, but now…!” He couldn’t help but sigh as he reached the end of the sentence, and he looked glum.

The boy in colorful attire riding on a white ox turned out to be a cold-blooded old monster with remarkable powers and abilities. This surprised Lin Xun.

“Stop talking nonsense and start the fight. Let’s go together and destroy them all!”

On the white ox, the boy crossed his arms with a cruel look on his face.

Immediately, the atmosphere bectense.

As the voice faded, the twenty Quasi-Emperors including Thousand Feather Sword Flower, Wu Jiuzhong and Ju Tianxing all erupted with ice-cold killing intent.

In the sky, the wind raged and clouds changed color. The ground was trembling and quaking in every direction, and the air was wailing. The world seemed to be struggling to withstand the murderous intent of so many Quasi-Emperors.

Moreover, all sorts of strange phenomena were appearing across the world—thunder and lightning erupting, wind-fire roaming everywhere, stars collapsing and mountains in flames...

Those scenes were like the coming of doomsday.

“Fine, I will withdraw from the competition this time.” Zhao Yuanji suddenly let out a long sigh, an indescribable melancholy in his face, and a deep sense of frustration welling up in his heart.

He had been waiting and planning for this great opportunity for a long time!

But in the end, he had no choice but to give up on the great opportunity before he saw it. The feeling was a mix of bitterness, reluctance and disappointment.

He would rather withdraw and keep everyone alive than to fight for the great opportunity.

“If you had known this would happen, why cause such a big scene just now?” Gou Tianxing remarked in a mocking voice.

“Elder Brother! Why give up?” Zhao Tailai’s eyes widened angrily.

The principal of Qinglu Academy sighed, while the empress had a pained expression.

Lin Xun was ready to bring out the token that Lone Man gifted him, and if he was truly forced into a desperate position where even the seven fierce creatures could not protect him, he would not hesitate to summon his greatest trump card.

But who would have thought that Zhao Yuanji would announce that he gave up?

At that moment, as Lin Xun looked at the despicable faces of the Quasi-Emperors in the distance and saw that they thought victory was in their hands, Lin Xun felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation in his heart.

“Do you want to withdraw?” Suddenly, Ancestor Blood Lotus uttered coldly, “It’s very simple, end yourself, and we won’t care about anything else.”

That one sentence turned the atmosphere tense again.

Zhao Yuanji’s face darkened and his eyes blazed. He was clearly seething and desperately holding it back.

“Don’t!”

Zhao Tailai, the empress and the principal of Qinglu Academy all turned ashen-faced and tried to dissuade him.

His dark eyes flashed a cold light, and he was about to crush the token in his hand when a rush of magnificent blood-colored light csurging over from the distance.
