The Prodigies War

Chapter 1648: Quasi-Emperor’s Treachery

Fail to beat a snake to death, and it would come back to cause endless calamity.

This was demonstrated to perfection by Underworld Son, whose life Lin Xun had once spared due to the rules of the Great Emperor Pass.

But here he was, making a comeback just a month later, and he even brought along an old monster of the quasi-Emperor stage like Old Practitioner Qiu.

If it hadn’t been for the ample amount of cards up his sleeves, it would have been hard to say how Lin Xun would end up today.

So this time, he had no intention to leave Underworld Son any chance to live!

The frightened Underworld Son quickly took out a shiny green bead and raised it up. Then, as the divine bead emitted a brilliant light, countless vines madly surged out from it, looking like countless giant pythons twisting together.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, however, the vines were utterly crushed by the powerful fist force. The broken pieces turned into a downpour of light.

Strangely, the light rain did not dissipate, but instead formed a sky-blotting green ocean that once again surged toward Lin Xun.

Moreover, its momentum had even increased, and it gave one the feeling of vastness and endlessness.

This was the Billowing Green Ocean Pearl!

This treasure was rumored to naturally contain the two innate origins of Green Wood and Black Water. It could be used not only for cultivation but also for various offensive measures, which was nothing short of impressive.

“Good!” Lin Xun’s eyes lit up as he abruptly extended his hand and tore at it. Rip, the sky-blotting green ocean was torn apart from the middle like a piece of cloth.

Lin Xun’s hand continued and grabbed down at Underworld Son’s head. It looked like a dragon’s claw reaching out of the clouds and enveloping the land.

Underworld Son’s face distorted, so terrified that his soul almost flew out. He couldn’t care less about the Billowing Green Ocean Pearl as he erupted with a blazing scarlet light and vanished on the spot.

Escape Art: Limitless Blood Concealing!

Lin Xun failed to catch Underworld Son, but he conveniently collected the Billowing Green Ocean Pearl. After figuring out its wonderful abilities with a sweep of his spirit sense, he couldn’t help but praise it. This Underworld Son fellow truly has good taste. None of the treasures he carries are ordinary.

Despite all the thoughts running through his mind, he didn’t slow down one bit. His spirit sense quickly spread, and then, he suddenly blasted out a punch toward the distant sky.

Boom!

The void exploded like glass, from which Underworld Son staggered out. From the utter shock on his face, he probably couldn’t believe that Lin Xun would be able to discover him so easily.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had teleported over and attacked, not giving Underworld Son a chance to catch his breath.

“Foul bastard!” roared Underworld Son with a hideously twisted face. He suddenly waved his hand, and a pair of flying daggers shot out explosively.

One black and one white, the daggers were delicate, only seven inches long and two fingers wide.

The black flying dagger was engraved with the ancient script ‘Moon,’ and the white one with ‘Sun.’

The daggers jangled murderously as soon as they shot out. Their auras could slay demons and gods, and their sharpness could divide the clear and the turbid.

“Yin Yang Flying Daggers!” Madam Mu, who had been watching closely, was startled.

Lin Xun also felt a tingling sensation on his skin and was dazzled by the sharp auras of the daggers. He couldn’t help but marvel. These two knives are definitely a very rare treasure.

Swish! Swish!

Not having time to think too much about it, Lin Xun dodged.

The dim edge narrowly grazed his cheek and cut off a strand of hair. On the other side, the white blade tore his clothes and pierced through his shoulder, stringing out a bright red splash.

The extreme speed and sharpness of the daggers caused Lin Xun to marvel again. What a powerful treasure!

The strike succeeded, but Underworld Son felt no joy. Knowing Lin Xun’s character too well, he summoned the daggers without hesitation.

This despicable and shameless Lin Xun had always regarded him as a ‘Treasure Delivery Boy,’ so how could he miss out on this treasure?

However, Lin Xun had been one step ahead of him as he took out the Dao Endless Pagoda in a burst of laughter. “I’ll gladly accept this treasure!”

Rumble!

A roiling golden light swept out and covered the area.

Underworld Son roared in rage and tried his best to retrieve the treasure. However, it was futile as the pair of flying daggers had been wrapped up and dragged away by the golden light, which had directly cut off the spiritual link between them and him.

And then, they flew into Lin Xun’s palm.

Seeing this, Underworld Son coughed up blood, and his vision was filled with stars. He had the urge to plunge at Lin Xun and fight the latter with his life on the line as utter fury and humiliation filled him.

This had happened in the Supreme Realm. This had happened again not long ago. And now, it was still playing out!

The accumulated shame and hatred hit Underworld Son’s mind like a tsunami, driving him insane.

Lin Xun didn’t care. He attacked again.

This Underworld Son fellow was too rich. Every treasure he had ever taken out had never failed to catch Lin Xun’s eyes, and it was simply a pleasant surprise.

In an instant, the fury within Underworld Son was doused as he sensed an extreme threat. It was as if the shadow of death was looming over him!

“Ling Xiaozi, are you lot going to just stand and watch this little scumbag commit murder in the Great Emperor Pass?!” shouted Old Practitioner Qiu angrily from the distant sky, who had been beaten into a sorry state.

Just as Old Practitioner Qiu’s words rang out, a chill ran through Lin Xun’s heart. He abruptly stopped mid-charge and flipped his palm, on which the crystal ice leaf once again appeared.

Boom!

Vaguely, the figure of a jade green flood dragon emerged from it.

At the same time, Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and the others paled when they saw Old Practitioner Qiu breaking away from the bronze ant and teleporting toward Lin Xun.

His speed was so fast that there was no time for them to help.

As a matter of fact, no one had expected Old Practitioner Qiu, who was at a disadvantage, to break free and directly target Lin Xun!

Even if he managed to kill Lin Xun in this attack, he would still expose a fatal opening to the bronze ant behind him and would be seriously injured if not killed.

This was undoubtedly a desperate attempt that would lead to a lose-lose situation!

But to everyone’s surprise, the bronze ant took no action. It didn’t even try to stop the old monk, which seemed very strange.

Can it be that this ferocious creature can’t wait to get rid of Lin Xun and wants to achieve this through Old Practitioner Qiu?

As this thought surfaced in the minds of Shun Ji’s group, their hearts tightened.

As the peril fast approached, the shadow of a light-green dragon swept out from Lin Xun’s palm and fiercely swung its tail.

Bang!

Old Practitioner Qiu arrived fast and went even faster. He was knocked flying like a rubber ball, tumbling upside down through the air, all the while spewing blood out from his mouth and nose and convulsing from the pain.

Before he could come around, the bronze ant had shot over and took advantage of this opportunity to launch a deadly attack.

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and the others gawked, mouths agape.

The series of changes had happened in the blink of an eye, but the danger in it was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine!

When they looked over at Lin Xun again, there was a huge, jade green flood dragon of roughly a thousand feet in length in front of him, and it was coiling into the shape of a mountain.

Its eyes were cold and eerie, releasing a palpitating might.

This was another creature whose aura was no weaker than that of the bronze ant’s, to the point that Shun Ji’s group held their breaths for a moment.

The appearance of the bronze ant had already left them feeling shocked and unimaginable.

But then, a flood dragon of unfathomable strength had emerged. The old monsters fell into a trance, their hearts and minds in turmoil.

How many years had it been since something so unimaginable had happened in the Great Emperor Pass?!

Meanwhile, Underworld Son had been struck dumb.

Even he, who had many treasures on himself, struggled to believe that Lin Xun had so many incredibly terrifying creatures to assist him.

Lin Xun couldn’t bother to pay attention to everyone’s reaction. His eyes were frosty as he stared at the distant bronze ant. “Little ant, weren’t you misbehaving just now? Do you find being controlled by me, a tiny True Saint, very disgraceful?”

Little ant!

Addressing a quasi-Emperor with terrifying battle strength like this, without a doubt, aimed to insult.

But the bronze ant couldn’t care about this. Seemingly flustered, it said, “I had absolutely no such intention! I was merely careless, and it definitely won’t happen again in the future!”

“Heh, aren’t you dishonest? With your strength, killing this old thing is just a matter of a few minutes, but why has the fight dragged until now? You just wanted to find an opportunity to use him to kill Lin Xun so you can be free from the restriction set up by the golden cicada, no?”

A snort came from the flood dragon, who didn’t seem to mind exposing the bronze ant’s true intention at all.

Lin Xun’s face became more and more clouded.

The bronze ant furiously shrieked, “Don’t even think about framing me, old worm! I can swear to Heaven that I have never had such treacherous thoughts!”

“Ridiculous, making oaths at our stage? What oaths in this heaven and earth can bind those like you and me anymore?” sneered the flood dragon.

Watching them argue, Shun Ji’s group were stunned and somewhat confused.

Whether it was the bronze ant or the flood dragon, although they obeyed Lin Xun’s orders, they both seemed to have something else in mind and were obviously not easy to deal with.

As the bronze ant was about to say something, Lin Xun shouted, “Enough! Since neither of you are being honest, get the hell back in!” The ice leaf on his palm abruptly glowed with a strange light. Filled with a supreme might, it swept across the heavens.

“No!” The bronze ant was terrified, but as its shout still echoed in the sky, it shrunk until it became the size of a sesame seed and was once again sealed with the Ice Snow Leaf.

At the same time, the jade green flood dragon anxiously shrieked, “Little friend, I just saved your life! Why are you doing this to me?!”

But Lin Xun turned a deaf ear and soon, the flood dragon was also sealed.

“Just you wait, Golden Cicada! When I become an Emperor, I will have my revenge!”

The roar of the flood dragon was filled with unwillingness and rage as it resounded between heaven and earth.

The atmosphere became incomparably oppressive.

The sudden turn of events had caught everyone off guard.

It was just simply unbelievable that two unimaginably powerful beings had no resistance at all in Lin Xun’s hands. Who would dare to believe this?

Even Old Practitioner Qiu was in a daze. He was the one who had been beaten and injured to the point that he could barely hold on.

But who could have imagined that in a flash, both of his fearsome attackers had disappeared!

When he looked at Lin Xun again, his eyes were already filled with apprehension. Where does this kid come from? How can he possess such bizarre means?

Then, his gaze landed on the crystalline leaf on Lin Xun’s palm. Clearly, this leaf had all the explanations!
