The Prodigies War

The mighty sword qi resembled the timeless purple sky.

In the distance, a figure suddenly appeared and swung his palm.

Bang!

The sword qi exploded inch by inch.

However, the figure didn't escape unscathed either. He was forced several steps in the air as his expression changed.

It was a gray-robed young man with white eyebrows and sharp eyes.

The gray-robed young man said in a deep voice, "Vicious witch, do you know who I am..."

Swish!

However, A'hu moved again before he could finish. She summoned a purple crystalline flying sword and aggressively rushed forward.

The gray-robed young man immediately cut his words short. A blood-red spear appeared in his hand, and he executed a sweeping strike, displaying formidable strength.

In just a blink of an eye, they exchanged a dozen blows.

After all, A'hu was no ordinary expert and had single-handedly fought against two supreme Big Saints, Wei Ziya and Kun Jiulin.

Despite this, she was unable to overwhelm the gray-robed young man.

It seemed that he was also a formidable expert who was superior to his peers. At the very least, he was most certainly a Starry Sky Big Saint Ranker.

Clang!

The snow-white Broken Blade flashed in the air. Its power was so magnificent that it made the surroundings appear dim in comparison.

Lin Xun had made his move.

Plop!

Caught off guard, the gray-robed young man was struck by the sharp edge of the Broken Blade. Amidst an explosion of bloody mist, his shoulder blade was cut, nearly taking off his entire arm.

The gray-robed young man groaned. In the end, he gritted his teeth and crushed the blood-red jade talisman that suddenly appeared on his palm, causing him to vanish from the spot.

"The Blood Escape Limitless Talisman! It's an ancient treasure unique to the Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan, one of the Great Ten Battle Clans."

A'hu immediately identified the mysterious treasure. "Based on this, he must be a pure-blood descendant of the Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan."

As she spoke, she frowned. "Brother Lin, we might be in for some trouble. There are still many Treasure Refining Dao Qi in the ravine, making it a treasure trove of sorts that everyone will covet. Since that guy managed to escape, news of this is bound to spread."

Lin Xun's dark-abyss-like eyes emitted a terrifying luster. "We'll see whether they have the ability to seize the opportunity here."

The two continued to camp near the strange ravine, focused on obtaining more Treasure Refining Dao Qi. However, they knew that it would not be long before this place became more lively.

……

"Damn it! I wasted a Blood Escape Limitless Talisman!"

Far away, the gray-robed young man agonized over his loss with a stormy expression.

The Blood Escape Limitless Talisman was exceedingly valuable and rare and was regarded as a life-preservation trump card. He never expected that it would be wasted outside the Kunlun Dominion.

"Yan Xiu, you're injured!?"

Several others were also present. Each of them gave off terrifying auras that were far from ordinary.

The speaker was a seductive green-haired woman with scarlet-red lips. She was rather alarmed as she looked at the bleeding gray-robed young man.

They knew how strong Yan Xiu was. Even in the Ancient Nebula Road, he was known to be a strong, cold-blooded expert.

He was from the mighty Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan and possessed special innate abilities. Moreover, he had already become one of the top 100 rankers in the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings many years ago!

The gray-robed young man named Yan Xiu took a deep breath and said with a grim expression, "It was Lin Xun. The rumors about his formidable strength are true. If it were one-on-one, even I am not certain I can defeat him without employing my strongest trump card."

The green-haired woman's and others' hearts shivered.

"However, I've discovered what they're up to, and I believe that it's something you guys will also be very interested in."

Yan Xiu suddenly changed the topic. His eyes gleamed strangely as he told them everything he had seen at the ravine.

"What? Can such a thing happen?"

"Many hidden Treasure Refining Dao Qi?"

"Lin Xun is way too lucky..."

For a time, everyone's hearts stirred. They naturally understood the magical properties of the Treasure Refining Dao Qi.

A ravine with so many Treasure Refining Dao Qi was akin to a giant treasure trove that would make anyone green with jealousy.

The green-haired woman said, "Let's go over and kill that wretched couple. As long as we control the ravine, all of the Treasure Refining Dao Qi will be ours!"

"No, even if we do manage to kill Lin Xun and that woman, our side will also suffer heavy losses."

Yan Xiu shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

As someone who had briefly exchanged blows with Lin Xun and A'hu, he was rather terrified by their power.

Otherwise, he would not have decisively used a priceless Blood Escape Limitless Talisman to flee.

Someone asked, "Yan Xiu, so what should we do?"

The people present were powerful experts from different factions who had formed an alliance with Yan Xiu. Each of them was roughly equal to him in strength.

Yan Xiu softly said, "We set the wolves against the tigers!"

Everyone's eyes gleamed and they immediately understood.

Once news of the mysterious ravine spread, it would attract many experts who weren't afraid of death!

……

"What? There is a ravine in the desert that contains numerous Treasure Refining Dao Qi?"

"Quick, let's go check it out!"

"The news is true. Someone saw it with their own eyes. We should hurry over."

Through the efforts of Yan Xiu and others, the news about the black fog ravine swiftly spread in Treasure Refining Land.

For a time, the news drew the attention of countless experts.

Among them were disciples from ancient orthodoxies as well as several famous young talents.

One must know that while Treasure Refining Land was extremely vast, the amount of Treasure Refining Dao Qi was also limited. In a situation where there already weren't enough resources to go around, who wouldn't be tempted after hearing such news?

Thus, a storm began to gather.

As the masterminds, Yan Xiu and others secretly observed the situation and couldn't help but chuckle at these developments.

Their plan of setting the wolves against the tigers was about to succeed!

Next, they would see who managed to take advantage of the situation.

……

Omm!

Next to the black fog ravine, a Natal Treasure Rune that resembled a golden true dragon emerged on the surface of the Broken Blade with a joyful cry.

This was the Broken Blade's seventh Natal Treasure Rune!

At present, two days had passed since Yan Xiu's defeat.

"It's unfortunate that the ravine is filled with a dreadful power that prevents us from entering. Otherwise, we would reap even greater benefits with the power of Brother Lin's All-Wonder Dao Fire."

A'hu sighed.

Lin Xun chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Come quickly, we've found it! It's over here!"

Meanwhile, a loud and excited shout rang out far away as a group of experts soon appeared. Roughly a dozen experts could be seen aggressively approaching, riding brilliant streams of light.

"As expected."

Iciness flashed in A'hu's beautiful eyes.

"Eh, isn't that Lin Xun?"

"To think they made it here before us. It seems that they've already reaped quite a lot of benefits."

At the same time, the cultivators also discovered Lin Xun and A'hu, causing them to reveal wary and hostile expressions.

"I'll give you guys one chance. Leave now and you may avoid death. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to leave."

Lin Xun's indifferent voice was cold enough to freeze one to the bone.

The sentence caused the cultivators to frown and display unhappy expressions.

"Opportunities do not have owners and will end up with their fated person. Who do you think you are, Lin Xun? Isn't it too arrogant of you to monopolize such a treasure trove?"

"Do you think that you can do whatever you want because you killed Yan Chunjun?"

"Everyone, he's clearly a nutcase. Let's join forces to kill him!"

Shouts rang out one after another as killing intent rose from the cultivators.

They wouldn't have the courage to confront Lin Xun if they were alone. However, since they had the clear numbers advantage and several formidable powerhouses, how could they willingly give up on such an opportunity?

"Then we'll see whether you guys will live long enough to seize this opportunity..."

Lin Xun acted without hesitation. As he moved, the Broken Blade shot forth with a shiing.

Plop!

In a flash of icy light, a cultivator's head was chopped off, destroying his spirit and body.

The sudden death caused the cultivators' expressions to change as they subconsciously took action as well.

Boom~

Treasure lights intertwined in the air as dao arts poured out, causing the surroundings to fall into turmoil.

Lin Xun's expression remained cold as brilliant dao light flowed around him. He was as untouchable as an immortal as he wielded the Broken Blade with the terrible might of a demon god.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

If it were the outside world, these cultivators would be rated as outstanding experts with notable strength.

However, they were nothing in the face of Lin Xun's assault. Expert after expert was easily slaughtered as if they were as frail as paper, causing blood to splatter everywhere as screams filled the air.

Surprise appeared in Lin Xun's eyes. The Broken Blade's power had been elevated to a whole new level after forming seven Natal Treasure Runes.

Ordinary Saint treasures were easily chopped, pulverized, and destroyed by it!

Its unparalleled sharpness and ferocity surprised even Lin Xun himself.

He couldn't imagine how powerful the Broken Blade would become when it formed ten Natal Treasure Runes and underwent another transformation.

"People die for money, and birds die for food. How foolish."

With a soft sigh, A'hu also entered the fray.

A purple crystalline flying sword rose into the air and began its work, unleashing sword qi that was as grand as the timeless purple sky.

In a mere span of a dozen breaths, the entire group of cultivators were killed. Not a single one managed to escape as blood rained from the sky.

Shiing!

Lin Xun put away the Broken Blade. His clothes were clean and tidy and even his hair was unharmed.

A'hu remarked, "This is what we call bringing disaster upon oneself."

Lin Xun sighed softly and said, "This is only the first wave. More and more moths will soon rush into the fire."

His words were soon proven true.

In less than two hours, another group of cultivators arrived. They were a group of disciples from famous sects and each of them gave off extraordinary auras.

Upon arriving, they demanded that Lin Xun and A'hu leave immediately or suffer the consequences!
