The Prodigies War

Chapter 1407 Flipping the Sky with a Hand

Scarlet Eagle King flew into the air to obstruct the approaching giant hand.

With Lin Xun's strength, he could naturally have chosen to avoid the hand immediately. However, he never expected that Scarlet Eagle King would step forward without any hesitation at such a critical moment.

"Master, quickly go!"

His anxious voice was still echoing in the air, causing Lin Xun's heart to feel as if it had been slammed by a giant hammer.

Had he wrongly blamed Scarlet Eagle King?

Rumble!

The giant hand seemed to cover the sky. Its dreadful power instantly swatted Scarlet Eagle King away, breaking his bones and causing him to bleed from his seven orifices.

"Leave quickly!"

Scarlet Eagle King's eyes bulged from their sockets. Although he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he disregarded everything else and thought only about letting Lin Xun escape.

With a furious roar, Scarlet Eagle King rushed into the air again.

"Ingrate disciple!"

The Monster-Beast Ancestor’s icy and enraged voice rang out from under Black Wind Mountain, unable to believe that his final disciple would throw his life away for a human.

Rumble!

The giant hand grew increasingly terrifying, causing its five fingers to resemble five mountains that could stretch out the sky. Bizarre and intimidating blood-colored light swirled around the fingers as the hand ruthlessly pressed down.

Space distorted chaotically and even the sky was obscured, making it impossible for the light of day to pass through!

"Master, I was never a traitor."

Scarlet Eagle King’s expression suddenly became calm as if he had accepted death while his blood-soaked figure continued to rush upwards without the slightest hint of hesitation.

His gaze, however, was directed at Lin Xun as if saying his final goodbye.

Omm!

It was at this moment that Lin Xun suddenly vanished from the spot, reappeared in front of Scarlet Eagle King, grabbed him by the collar, and flung him away.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun abruptly raised his head and whistled, causing 1,800 Taixuan sword qi to burst from him and transform into the Great Confinement Killer Sword Array!

At the same time, a blood-stained bronze shield appeared in his hand.

"Master..." Scarlet Eagle King could only watch while frozen in the distance.

Boom!

Amidst an earth-shaking collision, the Great Confinement Killer Sword Array violently shuddered as it was scattered by the giant hand.

Lin Xun swayed unsteadily and coughed blood as his complexion paled.

His expression, however, remained fierce and resolute. Dao light roared around him as if every fiber of his being was burning.

Clang!

A deafening clang sounded from the blood-stained shield. Although it managed to withstand the terrifying power of the hand, Lin Xun was abruptly forced downward as his body creaked and groaned.

Scarlet Eagle King’s eyes reddened as his churning emotions exploded like a flash flood. He never imagined that Lin Xun would go so far for him.

Rumble!

The unimaginably terrifying power of the giant hand smashed Lin Xun into Black Wind Mountain, causing the entire mountain to cave in as boulders were crushed to dust.

Amidst the process, Lin Xun's skin cracked inch by inch while his expression grew increasingly twisted as if he was facing immense pressure.

"Slash!"

With a furious roar, the Broken Blade swept forth as all of his power erupted through the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer Dao.

Impermanence Slash!

This was the strongest move of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes.

Bang bang bang!

Dreadful dao light flooded the surroundings in an instant. One could only watch as the once majestic Black Wind Mountain crumpled like paper, leaving a bottomless crater behind.

The nearby land cracked and fissured with loud rumbling noises.

Rumble!

Scarlet Eagle King was swept up by the destructive force and sent hurtling through the air, causing his injuries to worsen. However, he couldn’t care less about his own condition as he struggled to his feet and sprinted forward.

"Master! Master–!"

He rushed toward the epicenter of the clash without any concern over his own life as if he had gone crazy.

Dust billowed from the epicenter as terrifying remnant sword qi and palm-force gradually dispersed in the air.

Any ordinary cultivator would be instantly killed if they approached.

However, Scarlet Eagle King rushed in without hesitation and began frantically searching until he finally found Lin Xun at the bottom of the enormous crater.

"Master!"

Scarlet Eagle King's heart twitched violently as his lips trembled.

Lin Xun lay there with a cracked body that was stained with blood. His face looked almost translucent, making him appear as if he had passed away.

"Master!" Scarlet Eagle King fell to his knees as tears fell from his eyes.

He never imagined that this would happen!

His heart had already sunk to rock bottom when Lin Xun called him a traitor due to a misunderstanding, causing him to feel unbearable pain and agony.

At that time, Scarlet Eagle King had fallen into despair and had hoped to die in order to atone and gain Lin Xun’s forgiveness.

Scarlet Eagle King never imagined that he would end up being saved by Lin Xun and misfortune would befall him instead!

Scarlet Eagle King felt as if his world was falling apart as he sorrowfully whimpered.

It was at this moment that Lin Xun opened his eyes and croaked from the ground, "I'm not dead yet, so why are you crying as if you’re at a funeral?"

Scarlet Eagle King stiffened before vigorously rubbing his eyes as if unable to believe what he was seeing. Joy soon lit up his face as he said in a trembling voice, "You’re not dead, you’re really not dead..."

Lin Xun propped himself up and looked at Scarlet Eagle King. Although the latter’s crying appearance stirred up his emotions, he displayed a smile and said, "Come on, it’ll be shameful if others see you like this."

Scarlet Eagle King hurriedly nodded and grinned from ear to ear, "I’m...just feeling a little emotional and couldn’t control myself."

As if on cue, the two of them flew out of the crater and landed nearby.

Black Wind Mountain had completely disappeared and the surrounding area had been devastated. It was a shocking sight, to say the least.

Scarlet Eagle King said, "Don’t worry, Master. Monster-Beast Ancestor won’t be able to attack again. He’s been trapped in the Divine Void Prison for countless years, and his strength has been nearly used up."

As soon as these words were spoken, a cold and ruthless voice rang out, "Sinful disciple! When I escape, I will pull out your tendons and skin you alive!"

The voice seemed to quiver with endless rage.

Scarlet Eagle King's expression turned ice-cold, but he remained silent.

Monster-Beast Ancestor's voice then completely disappeared.

It was clear that he no longer had the strength to attack again. Otherwise, he would never resort to such a ‘powerless’ threat.

"Lin Xun!"

Many figures swiftly approached from a far, led by none other than Zhao Jingxuan.

When Lin Xun clashed against the Monster-Beast Ancestor’s giant hand earlier, they had generated such a horrifying commotion that even the empire experts standing outside Great Wind Thunder Wetlands felt endless chills.

However, upon seeing that Lin Xun was fine, all the tension faded from Zhao Jingxuan's heart and was replaced with relief.

She asked, "You won?"

Lin Xun cracked a small smile and gave a little nod.

The closely following empire experts were immediately shaken and shocked.

......

On that day, Lin Xun single-handedly exterminated the monster-beast Kings, slaughtered thirteen brute Kings, and flattened Great Wind Thunder Wetlands!

"There were so many monster-beast Kings...but they all died?" The world trembled at the news.

"Impossible! How can anyone but Saint experts be capable of overpowering so many King experts?" The monster-beast factions were appalled, unable to believe it was true.

However, regardless of what they believed, the fact was that Lin Xun was still alive and kicking!

Someone had managed to record the events that occurred in Great Wind Thunder Wetlands, which was then relayed to the entire empire as swiftly as possible.

After the feat of massacring sixteen monster-beast Kings followed by the destruction of the Barbarian God Phantasm created by the joint efforts of thirteen brute Kings, Lin Xun's radiant figure became an almighty sun that was imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the world.

There was no doubt that this battle would become the most glorious event in the current empire and be forever recorded in the annals of history!

It made the vast empire boil over with excitement.

"Wonderful! Young Master Lin is unrivaled and is a man among men!"

"Magnificent, the Lin Clan Leader is someone who can support even the entire sky for the empire."

"When you marry, you should marry a man like Young Master Lin! He’s a true hero and a true man!"

Endless cheers rang out in the various regions of the empire, showing the admiration and happiness of the people.

Several women even became diehard fans of Lin Xun and caused some rather eyebrow-raising incidents...

The reason for this was that the empire had been suppressed by the monster-beast forces for far too long!

Today, they were finally freed from the oppression and were naturally filled with jubilation.

Someone even suggested that Lin Xun should be honored as the number one King expert in the empire.

"If there are no Saint experts, Young Master Lin will be supreme. Haven’t you heard that even the monster-beast Kings and brute Kings are nothing but chickens and dogs before him?!"

Similar topics were heatedly discussed by many.

With the end of the battle, the great monster-beast plague no longer threatened the empire because the once unbeatable monster-beast Kings were nearly wiped out by Lin Xun!

The remaining monster-beast forces were naturally no longer a threat.

Subsequently, the empire generals struck while the iron was hot and began systematically exterminating all the remaining monster-beast forces in the empire! contemporary romance

Meanwhile, a bleak atmosphere covered the Nine Brute Tribes.

After hearing the news that the thirteen brute Kings had been killed, the Brute bigwigs were dumbfounded as if they had been struck by lightning.

They had been all but certain that Lin Xun would die.

The result, however, was Lin Xun’s great victory.

"We lost..."

"Lin Xun is far stronger than we predicted. I'm afraid that the world will be his oyster unless a Saint expert appears!"

"We’re finished...our great Brute army will no longer have any chance to invade the empire in the future."

In the Brute camp, the Brute bigwigs were in disarray.

It was clear to everyone that there was no hope of attacking the empire with Lin Xun around.

"Abominable!"

Even the most exalted Thunder Brute King found himself with no outlet to vent his frustration, causing his face to turn terrifyingly ashen.

"What do we do?"

The other bigwigs had uncertain expressions.

"Withdraw the troops."

After a long silence, Thunder Brute King spat out three words. At that moment, he seemed to age countless years.

A single Lin Xun had thwarted their plans. It was something that no one could have predicted.

It was as absurd as a single person flipping the sky with a hand!

On that day, the Nine Brute Tribes withdrew their troops from the borders of the empire, causing yet another huge commotion.
