The Prodigies War-Novel

Lin Xun’s unconcealed killing intent intimidated the crowd.

But suddenly, Le Mujin sneered, “That’s sbig talk. Why don’t you cout from the abyss first if you have the guts? Here, letshow you how two-legged sheep like you die.”

As he spoke, he picked up his iron rod and smashed it at the head of an Ancient Wasteland Domain’s expert who was beside him.

Ding Shanhe and the other Saints were ready to act.

Suddenly, an unspeakably strange fluctuation spread throughout the field.

Lin Xun was glowing. In his chest, his Origin Aeth Artery was blazing with a brilliant light as it manifested the power of TStopping.

Tpaused for an instant.

It was also in this instant that the God Burning Wings flashed behind his back and teleported him right before Le Mujin. Wrapped in a horrifying dao light, Lin Xun’s hand clutched at Le Mujin’s throat.

At this moment, the iron rod was only three inches away from the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s expert!

The situation had changed in just a split second.

Whether it was Le Mujin or the four Saints, none of them had been able to react.

That was the power of TStopping!

“You…” Le Mujin was shocked. Then, the sharp pain in his throat caused his face to twist abruptly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It simply did not occur to him that Lin Xun would be able to instantly appear before him and confine him!

The expressions of Ding Shanhe’s group also flashed with shock. They had been keeping focus and were ready to strike when necessary, but now, it appeared that they had been a beat too slow!

They hadn’t even been able to react, which they found unbelievable. How could a young man who had yet to beca Saint move faster than them?

A heavy noise resounded as Le Mujin was forced down on his knees. Pressing a palm on the man’s head, Lin Xun swept his eyes at Ding Shanhe’s group and said, “Release them, or I guarantee his death will be an ugly one.”

As his voice echoed through the field, the atmosphere was oppressive.

The captured Ancient Wasteland Domain’s experts on the ground all becexcited and emotional. Many of them even had the urge to cry.

None of them had expected that despite being complete strangers, Lin Xun would go out of his way to rescue them simply because they were from the scamp!

The expressions of Ding Shanhe’s group flickered. How did a junior dare to threaten them like this?!

Ding Shanhe took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone, “Let Young Master Le go first, and I promise to give you and these people a chance to live.”

“Live?! I want him dead!” roared Le Mujin who was still suppressed to his knees.

He was a suprfigure of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain’s younger generation and was a direct descendant of the Hawk Kite Demon Clan whose exceptional talent and pride allowed him to look down on ordinary Saints.

But at this moment, he was on his knees under the suppression of a two-legged sheep who he despised the most, and his life was also subjected to the will of the latter. The humiliation was driving him crazy.

A force erupted from Lin Xun’s palm. Le Mujin instantly bled from his seven orifices and convulsed. He grunted in pain as not even his spirit was spared from a heavy blow.

“How dare you?!”

Ding Shanhe’s and the other Saints’ faces changed again. Le Mujin held a very noble status. If they let him be killed right in front of their eyes, the suprSaints of the Hawk Kite Demon Clan would eat them alive!

“He’s not dead yet, but not very far from either. It’s all up to you now,” said Lin Xun indifferently, his eyes surged with a chilling cold glint. He had to suppress his rising killing intent in order to stop himself from smacking this bastard to death.

For now, Ding Shanhe’s group chose to refrain out of fear for Le Mujin’s life.

But likewise, Lin Xun had to refrain from killing him in order to exchange his life for the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s experts.

Ding Shanhe took a deep breath. “If you don’t release him after we release these people…”

Lin Xun cut him off, “You can only gamble!”

“You…!” Enraged, Ding Shanhe’s expression was morose. Only after a long tdid he grit his teeth and say, “Fine, we’ll release them. But if anything happens to Young Master Le, I guarantee that you will die a horrible death!”

Lin Xun was unperturbed. He had already lost count of how many times he had heard this kind of threat.

Following Lin Xun’s guidance, the captured Ancient Wasteland Domain’s experts walked toward the great abyss under the murderous gazes of the Saints. Upon arriving at the abyss edge, they were received by the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly who had already been waiting there.

Seeing this, Lin Xun inwardly relaxed.

“It’s your turn now, right?” Ding Shanhe’s face was gloomy.

Lin Xun dragged Le Mujin and walked toward the edge of the abyss.

During this, Ding Shanhe’s group fixed their eyes on him, ready to strike as long as he showed the slightest sign of fleeing!

The aura emanating from them flooded the nearby area and made it hard to breathe.

Lin Xun felt an omnipresent murderous aura that surrounded him with danger while being stared at by these Saints.

He suddenly turned around to look at and laughed, “If I force you to kill yourselves in exchange for Le Mujin’s life, what will you do?”

Lin Xun threw Le Mujin at them right at this moment, then leaped into the abyss with a flicker.

As soon as Lin Xun disappeared, a green spear blasted out a crater right where he had just stood and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Apparently, a Saint had attacked with the aim to kill Lin Xun, but Lin Xun had been faster and dodged it.

In the great abyss, Lin Xun turned around to see this happen. He said, “I swear I’ll kill you all or I won’t be a human anymore!”

On Ding Shanhe’s grim face was a hideous smile as he said, “Little scum, look behind you.”

Lin Xun didn’t turn around, but his spirit sense had already spread out.

Immediately, his face twisted.

In the view of his spirit sense were the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s experts who had been placed in the care of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly. Their skin suddenly cracked, and their flesh and sinews were corroded by something invisible. One by one, they died on the spot without a sound!

It had happened so quickly that none of them had been able to react.

“You did this?” Lin Xun’s expression was extremely frightening.

Ding Shanhe’s group laughed complacently.

“Right after we captured those two-legged sheep, I planted my soul insects in their bodies. So long as I wanted to, I could kill them with a single thought. Oh you foolish little thing, do you really think that you’re omnipotent? Lettell you, all those two-legged sheep died because of you, and you only have your stupidity to blfor it!”

After saying this, Ding Shanhe burst out into laughter again.

“None of you shall escape!” Lin Xun’s black eyes were like the abysses swirling with a chilling aura as he left these words. Then, he turned around and entered the abyss.

“What a joke!” Ding Shanhe’s group dismissed his threat as nothing.

Just at this moment, Le Mujin suddenly fell to the ground, paralyzed. His body was intact, but his soul had vanished!

The Saints’ expressions froze. Their eyes bulged, and their hands and feet went cold.

This was like a blunt knock on the head. Ding Shanhe’s group panicked and rushed over to Le Mujin.

After checking his condition, their expressions all darkened.

Le Mujin’s soul had been soundlessly devoured at spoint!

One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Ding, your Golden Snake Demon Clan is the most proficient in the art of the soul. Can you tell how Young Master Le was killed?”

“A God Devourer Insect!” Ding Shanhe’s face was livid, his teeth gnashing in seething hatred. “The little scumbag planned to kill him right from the start! He had a God Devourer Insect drill into Young Master Le’s soul!”

“Damn it!” A Saint was enraged, his killing intent surging.

“This matter must not be publicized. If those old monsters of Le Mujin’s clan were to know that he was killed right under our noses, we’ll be hard-pressed to escape the blame!” Taking a deep breath, Ding Shanhe forced himself to calm down. “The most urgent thing right now is to kill that little bastard at all costs, then report everything to the Hawk Kite Demon Clan. Perhaps we can remedy the situation this way.”

The other Saints’ faces clouded over. Eventually, they nodded in agreement.

As a top-class suprcharacter, Le Mujin’s future accomplishments could have been limitless if he were to beca SuprSaint. However, he was dead now.

If the Hawk Kite Demon Clan punished them for this, then they would definitely suffer!

“Ji Qing, you personally go and capture smore two-legged sheep, the more the better. We shall force that little scumbag out again!” said Ding Shanhe murderously.

“Yes!” Ji Qing accepted the order and left.

……

In the Abyss Underground Palace, Lin Xun sat weakly on the ground, his face pale.

He had consumed all of his energy by using TStopping.

What he had experienced today truly taught him what a bone-deep blood feud really was!

There was no way to rectify something like this!

The cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had been trampled on, humiliated, and slaughtered like animals. That bloody scene had an unprecedented impact on Lin Xun’s mind.

Such was a blood feud!

There was no room for mercy in the Conflict of the Nine Domains!

When thinking of the unnamed youth who’d rather have died than let himself be used to threaten him, Lin Xun had never felt so bad.

“When I, Lin Xun, beca Saint, I will use my blade to kill all enemies and settle this blood feud with their blood!”

A long tlater, Lin Xun took a deep breath and suppressed the boiling murderous intent in his heart.

He began to meditate.

His energy was depleted and had to be restored as soon as possible.

Immediately, a strange fluctuation spread.

In this instant, Lin Xun suddenly found himself in a burning furnace, in which divine flames raged with the power to incinerate the world.

And his body was being tempered by these terrifying flames!

The scorching power of fire made Lin Xun feel like he was being melted away. Without hesitation, he mobilized all of his power to resist.

At the stime, inside the nearby Ultimate Dao Pavilion, strange dao fluctuations manifested in the form of runes before coalescing into a large furnace.

The furnace was burning with divine flames streaming around it. Like the standing river of history, they seemed to be able set the heavens ablaze!

Apparently, this was the second ordeal in this secret realm. Just like the first one which was the Mind Killing Chamber, it had cwithout notice.

Lin Xun also realized this, but it was already too late to contemplate it. Set in the furnace, he felt as if he was like being cut by a thousand knives as it tempered him. Both his body and mind were subjected to extrpain.
