The Prodigies War

Lin Xun’s brows suddenly seemed to be as fierce as sharp blades and his eyes shined like lightning!

He seemed to have become another person, exuding an imposing yet calm aura, which seemed completely at odds with his identity of a thirteen year old youngster.

Shua!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xun launched his attack. His figure flashed and the azure blade in his grip slashed through the air, aiming directly for Qian Qi’s head.

Under such conditions, there was no room for him to flee. It was best to actively launch an attack.

The blade cut through the air with a rip, creating a sonic boom that stung everyone’s eardrum. In that instant, the blade resembled a flowing waterfall and exploded with forcefulnesscontemporary romance

Buzz!

Reacting swiftly, Qian Qi brought his iron spear up to meet the attack head-on. The tip flashed a ray of cold light. His movements were quick, skillful and ruthless.

He had followed Lian Rufeng to deliver goods between Feiyun Village and the Qingyang Tribe for years. He had not only fought fierce beasts, but also many robbers. And as a result, he had developed strong combat experience.

Naturally, Lin Xun’s sudden attack couldn’t catch him off guard.

Lu Ting was similar to Qian Qi in that he had many battle experiences, even if he was reckless. He couldn’t help but sneer when he saw Lin Xun daringly point his weapon at Qian Qi. ‘What a fool. No normal person would want to face Qian Qi in these circumstances.’

After all, even if there seemed to be only one level of difference between the second and third layer True Martial Stage, there was a world of difference in strengths!

However, what surprised Lu Ting was that Lin Xun suddenly slammed his toes on the ground and turned direction just as he was about to face Qian Qi. He suddenly seemed to change his target and came charging towards him!

Shua!

The azure blade moved at lightning speed. Sharp and fierce as the wind, it was precisely the ‘stabbing’ move of the Six Word Blade!

The attacker slyly caught the enemy off guard with a surprise attack

The stabbing move was unpredictable and impossible to guard against. It contained enough force and speed for a one-shot kill.

Lu Ting’s pupils rapidly shrank. He only just realized that Lin Xun had made a feint and his target wasn’t Qian Qi!

Lu Ting roared as he swung up his giant hammer to shield his body. At the same time, he frantically drew back in hopes of evading the attack.

However, how would Lin Xun miss such a good opportunity? His azure blade suddenly switched from the ‘stab’ move to the ‘coil’ move.

Strands of silk shot from the blade as if it had a bunch of spring silkworms in it, clinging to Lu Ting’s giant hammer like a magnet!

Boom!

The blade appeared soft and gentle but an unparalleled force gushed out upon contact with the giant hammer. Lu Ting’s arm shook and crackled until he dropped the giant hammer to the ground.

As though a raging bull had knocked him over, Lu Ting bled from his mouth and nose while he was sent flying across tens of meters. But before he could even scream in pain, he passed out.

After succeeding in one attack, Lin Xun didn’t glance at Lu Ting again. He shifted his body and narrowly evaded Qian Qi, who was charging over from the side.

“Lu Ting!”

Qian Qi’s face grew overcast and troubled as he trembled inwardly. Lin Xun’s series of movements was completed in the blink of an eye, like a falcon swooping down on a hare. It was so fast that even he couldn’t do anything to help out.

Qian Qi also didn't expect Lin Xun to be so cunning to change targets halfway. The boy’s true objective had never been him, but Lu Ting instead!

Lu Ting also didn’t put up a good performance. He was defeated in one strike!

“What a cunning little thing!”

Qian Qi's voice was icy and full of murderous intent as he stared at Lin Xun with razor sharp eyes. He was clearly enraged.

As though unaware of the other man’s bloodlust, Lin Xun simply smiled, raised his blade and charged over.

He couldn’t bother to say anything. After getting rid of Lu Ting, he had one less obstacle, and so he could fully concentrate on dealing with Qian Qi, a cultivator of the third True Martial Stage.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

The azure blade constantly waved around in the air, sometimes as light as a dancing butterfly, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes as powerful as a landslide, and sometimes as quick as a lightning. The Six Word Blade was displayed in it’s full majesty.

It could be called as quick as an angered dragon and as powerful as an avalanche! It gave Qian Qi no chance to even breathe.

Qian Qi practiced the Sparrowhawk Spear, which was known for its ruthlessness and its ability to kill as easily as splitting bamboo. Additionally, he was at the Organ Opening Stage and undoubtedly possessed remarkable combat strength.

He could suppress and kill ordinary second layer True Martial Stage experts in seconds!

However, Lin Xun had suppressed Qian Qi to the point that he was forced to constantly retreat and was unable to strike back.

With his shrewd eyes, Qian Qi could tell that Lin Xun’s blade was unusually powerful!

The boy’s unusually powerful blade technique wouldn’t ordinarily be an issue because his superiority in cultivation levels gave him an upper hand against Lin Xun. However, unexpectedly, Lin Xun’s strength was in no way inferior to his!

How was that possible?

How could a thirteen-year-old boy at the second layer True Martial Stage possess such strong aeth power?

Shocked and outraged, Qian Qi realized he had still underestimated the youngster despite his cautiousness.

He had often traveled to the Qingyang tribe in recent years and had heard about many young talented cultivators who appeared to possess a weak cultivation base but could take on opponents at a superior cultivation level!

Such young heroes were only seen once in a hundred years. Even if the Qingyang Tribe had a population of around 8,000, only a few had such talent and strength.

Could Lin Xun be one of those geniuses?

Although Qian Qi forced himself to remain calm, puzzlement surged in his mind.

He originally thought that Lin Xun was just a rune apprentice and nothing to be feared. It was when Lu Ting repeatedly lost to Lin Xun that he finally began to pay attention to Lin Xun.

However, it was only after they exchanged blows that he woke up to the reality that he had truly underestimated Lin Xun’s strength.

‘This isn’t good!’

Kacha!

Suddenly, his arm throbbed with pain and his iron spear was sliced into two!

‘Not good!’

Qian Qi was finally fully snapped out of his thoughts. His complexion became ashen and he didn’t dare to make wild conjectures anymore. With a shrill scream, he twisted around and fled for his life!

He was completely horrified. His broken spear made him realize that he was no match for Lin Xun. If he didn’t take the chance to flee, there might not be another.

Qian Qi had made a decision. Once he escaped, he would report the incident to Lian Rufeng in the Qingyang tribe. Lin Xun was too terrifying!

However, just as Qian Qi turned around, Lin Xun unhesitatingly hurled his azure blade.

Wu!

The short blade whistled across the air, producing screeches similar to a hungry ghost. The speed was unbelievable. The next second, with a loud boom, the blade pierced into Qian Qi’s back and knocked him to the ground. Blood gushed everywhere.

Qian Qi let out a tragic wail as he pushed himself up. His face was contorted with pain and fear. Lin Xun rushed over and knocked him to the ground with a kick. Then, he yanked out his azure blade on Qian Qi’s back and slashed his neck!

From the start to the end of the skirmish Lin Xun had wasted no time. His movements were experienced and skillful.

Qian Qi's eyes almost popped out their sockets but he refused to turn his head to look at Lin Xun. In the end, he tumbled to the ground and lost his life.

Blood flowed from Qian Qi's throat and stained the ground a tragic red.

Lin Xun remained undisturbed. After confirming that Qian Qi was indeed dead, he turned around and came to Lu Ting in the distance. He thrust his blade down, piercing the older man’s heart.

Lu Ting and Qian Qi were both killed within minutes.

Lin Xun let out a long sigh as he stared at Lu Ting's corpse in a daze.

No one knew that this was his first time killing. It was understandable for him to be a little nervous.

In order to make himself less apprehensive, Lin Xun had been crazily training a few days ago. He knew he would have to face Lu Ting and Qian Qi one day, and he also didn’t forget to prepare various tactics and means.

Perfect preparation, after all, was sometimes the beginning of creating a miracle.

Lin Xun wasn’t trying to create a miracle. He did everything just to kill Lu Ting and Qian Qi.

It was just that he didn’t realize that Qian Qi and Lu Ting weren’t as strong as he had thought.

That was right. He wasn’t surprised that he suppressed Lu Ting in one strike, but he was shocked by the lack of pressure he felt when he was up against Qian Qi, a third layer True Martial Stage expert!

Not only that, but as the battle continued, he also realized Qian Qi posed no threat to him.

Lin Xun originally thought that Qian Qi was deliberately pretending to be weak. He only came to realize that Qian Qi wasn’t that good when he killed the other man.

‘What is going on?’

Lin Xun couldn’t understand what had happened.

He had actually prepared other means to kill Qian Qi. This even included a possibility that it’d be a bitter fight to the death. Who would have thought that he would easily win with just his strength alone?

“It seems that he’s just an ordinary person.”

Lin Xun drew a deep breath, laughing at himself a little. He had been anxious about the battle for days. In the end, he had made a huge fuss over such a minor thing.

Lin Xun blamed Qian Qi for underestimating himself.

Although Qian Qi wasn’t an influential figure of the third True Martial Stage, he was still a ruthless fellow with substantial battle experience.

However, Lin Xun didn't realize that the Aeth Power Vortexes had long strengthened his cultivation base. His Aeth Power was not just pure and solid, its grade had been raised by four times.

Additionally, his diligent practice and consumption of the flesh and blood of snow spotted leopard and one-horned lizard helped temper both the inside and outside of his body.

With the help of the Six Word Blade and other unique cultivation arts, it was logical that he managed to kill Qian Qi easily.

Without thinking about this any more, Lin Xun scanned the surroundings and finally focussed on the Fiery Smoke Mountain in the distance.

He had heard that there was a mine in the hinterland of Fiery Smoke Mountain. Although it had been abandoned, it provided a good place to dispose of corpses.

Lin Xun carried the bodies of Lu Ting and Qian Qi to the foot of Fiery Smoke Mountain and found the abandoned mine.
