The Prodigies War

“Brother Jin, they’re catching up!” Teng Yichen’s face changed drastically when he felt a group of powerful spirit senses locking on him.

They were like needles poking at his back!

“Brother Jin already saved us, so how can we drag him down with us again? You go first, Brother Jin, the two of us will block the enemies,” said Gui Shanxing through gritted teeth.

Tu Qianjue alone could already make them despair, not to mention he was accompanied by a group of Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s core disciples!

On top of that, they were already gradually catching up. How would one even fight back a group like that?

As Gui Shanxing said that, he had already turned around with the intention to fight with his life on the line, but Lin Xun grabbed and yanked him back.

“I saved you guys not so you go get yourselves killed again.” Lin Xun frowned, “If you really are grateful to me, then follow me and run with all your might.”

Run!

Hearing this word from Lin Xun’s mouth, both Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing felt a pang of bitterness. If it hadn’t been for them, how could Brother Jin have suffered this kind of treatment?

“Alright. But no matter what, when it really comes to a matter of life and death, the two of us will definitely disregard everything and fight for a chance to let you get away.”

“That’s right!”

Seeing the two’s determined expressions, Lin Xun’s lips curled up. As long as this is how they think, then my efforts to save them are already worth it!

“Jin Duyi, didn’t you swear that the consequences of starting a fight would be unbearable for us? Why are you running now?” Tu Qianjue’s languid laughter came from a distance behind.

“He was just bluffing.”

“Senior Brother, don’t waste your breath on these kinds of people. Once we eliminate them, they’ll learn how big the gap between them and us is!”

The disciples of Heaven and Earth Dao Court all wore lofty and disdainful expressions.

Lin Xun ignored them as he teleported with utmost focus.

Along the way, he ran into some other experts, but when the latter saw the imposing group of Tu Qianjue, they became visibly alarmed and all got out of the way from afar.

“That seems to be Jin Duyi?”

“One hell of an unlucky guy he is. I thought Kong Zhao would be the first to attack him, but it turns out that even Tu Qianjue has his sights set on him.”

“Should we go after him?”

“You idiot, what’s there for us to pick up when Tu Qianjue and his party are going after the prey?”

Various discussions rang out along the fleeing route of Lin Xun’s trio. The vast majority of them weren’t optimistic about his situation.

This added an additional weight to Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing, who were already heavy with guilt. If Lin Xun hadn’t rescued them, then he wouldn’t have to face this kind of disaster at all. ŖãNố𝔟Ès̈

At the moment, the situation became extremely precarious as Tu Qianjue’s group was getting closer and closer!

“Jin Duyi, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over your talismans, and I promise I won’t make things difficult for you guys.”

The temperature of Tu Qianjue’s voice had dropped a little. Even with his good temper, he didn’t like his opponents being too obstinate and ill-advised.

At the same time, he transmitted to his group, “Get ready. Make sure that once a fight erupts, we can destroy the opponents in one fell swoop with the momentum of a thunderbolt.”

The other Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s core disciples nodded in unison with a quick flash of killing intent in their eyes.

“Give me a chance?” Lin Xun suddenly turned around midrun with a playful look. “Do you all really think that I’m running because I’m scared?”

Tu Qianjue frowned and waved his hand. Instantly, his group came to an abrupt stop while they were only less than thirty thousand feet away from Lin Xun.

“If you aren’t, Brother Jin, then why have you been absconding all the way?” asked Tu Qianjue with a deep look in his eyes. He had never underestimated Lin Xun.

After the strength Lin Xun had displayed when he had injured Kong Zhao outside the mountain gate of Mythical Huang Dao Court and then eliminated Wu Huang in a crushing fashion, Tu Qianjue did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Therefore, he had always appeared restrained when dealing with Lin Xun this entire time. If his opponent had been anyone else, he would have already jumped to a fight instead of speaking so much nonsense.

Lin Xun smiled. “I’m just luring you into my trap so that I can catch the turtle in a jar.”

Catch the turtle in a jar?!

A startled Tu Qianjue immediately spread his spirit sense in all directions. This was a canyon, and there was nothing peculiar about it as the Mythical Huang Secret Realm had countless of these.

However, he seemed to realize something as his expression suddenly faltered. He shouted, “Retreat!”

It was already a step too late, though.

As Lin Xun waved his hand, this piece of landscape abruptly changed with the canyon as the center. Day turned into eternal night, the terrains took on a blood-red color, and an ocean of array runes emerged and manifested terrifying dao power.

Rumble~

The array was filled with lightning and storms, endless waves of blinding light and deafening dao explosions. At times it echoed with the roars of gods, at times the wails of demons…

Hell would only look like this!

“Damnit!”

“We’ve been had…”

“The asshole had a plan! We’ve all been tricked!”

The expressions of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s core disciples all changed one by one as they let out exclamations of shock and anger.

“It’s only a big array, how can we let it trap us?! Cut the crap and break the array, and then we’ll exterminate that abominable Jin Duyi!” Tu Qianjue calmed down right after taking a deep breath. His state of mind was frighteningly steely.

Boom!

His group unhesitantly struck out using various skills and treasures. With all their might, they bombarded the array like crazy.

Outside the grand array, Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing were gawking with their jaws on the ground, utterly shocked by the sudden turn of events.

“Brother Jin, so you’ve actually made preparations.”

“I can’t believe it, Brother Jin! You’re actually a dao rune master!”

The two finally understood why Lin Xun had always appeared so calm, and a surge of excitement and joy washed through them.

Lin Xun laughed, “Both of you, watch me catch the trapped turtles.”

He made a series of finger gestures, and the grand array covering the area rumbled as it operated, reflecting astonishing phenomena.

Terrifying torrents of power transformed into sword qi, wind blades, lighting, and flames before they set off a killing spree within the array.

The pressure on Tu Qianjue’s group immediately multiplied. The atmosphere all around them had been permeated with the terrifying power of the array.

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

Tu Qianjue’s group all went crazy while fighting with all they had.

One had to admit that their group was one of the strongest as each of them was at the peak of the Supreme Saint-King Stage. Therefore, it was impossible to restrain them with an ordinary dao rune array.

However, Lin Xun’s array was anything but ordinary. Over these past years, as his cultivation had continuously climbed upward, the power of his dao arrays had also steadily increased.

It was no exaggeration to say that when he had set up this array, he was treating it as preparing an escape route to safety for himself, so there was no way that it would be weak.

Just a few moments later,

“Ahhhhh!”

A piercing scream echoed in the array. A disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court had been caught off guard and swept through by a sword qi from underneath his feet, almost cutting him in half.

On the brink of death, he had been automatically teleported out of Mythical Huang Secret Realm and eliminated from the competition.

“Junior Brother Niu!”

“Cripes!”

The rest of the group looked greatly irritated with bloodshot eyes.

Even Tu Qianjue’s face visibly darkened, his eyes as cold as ice as they surged with nonstop, terrifying gleams.

He had always been gentle, calm, and collected with a unique elegance, but at the moment, whether it was his expression or his aura, they were all ruthless and murderous.

He had been very careful along the way but still failed to expect the fact that he had been led around by the nose!

At the thought that such a foolish sight of himself would be clearly seen by the Emperor experts outside, an unspeakable shame and indignation welled up in his heart.

“Nooooo!”

Another unwilling shriek rang out as another Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciple was eliminated. This person was even more miserable than the last as a lightning bolt had scorched him inside out, reducing his flesh and blood to a mush.

Originally, he had still been able to put up a struggle, but who would have thought that the bolt would be closely followed by a sword qi that impaled his throat? In the end, he suffered the unfortunate outcome of being eliminated.

Seeing this, Tu Qianjue could no longer control his rage. His voice rumbled like thunder, “Jin Duyi, you are foul! When I break this array, I will return the favor tenfold!”

Lin Xun, who was controlling the array at full power from outside, couldn’t help but laugh, “Foul? What about when you guys bullied us with numbers and chased after us all the way here?”

Pausing a little, he continued, “Tu Qianjue, if you want me to respect you, then stop whining and just break the array before you start dropping threats.”

Boom!

As soon as Lin Xun said that, he exploded with newfound energy and operated the flow of power to the extreme.

In an instant, gloomy gales rolled inside the array, inducing seething murderous intent mixed with a burst of curses.

Those Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples were all flustered, appalled, and furious.

However, no matter how much they struggled and attacked, it was pointless in this array that was capable of trapping even quasi-Emperors. It was already outstanding of them to be able to hold up until now.

“Damn it!”

“I shall never forget this!”

“Help meeee!”

In the following time, one disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court was eliminated after another. Even though Tu Qianjue had desperately tried to save them, his strength was inadequate.

This was because he, too, had been injured. While it wasn’t serious, it made him look woefully out of shape.

This was where the dreadfulness of a dao rune array lay.

Once trapped, breaking out would require one to have the same level of attainment in runes. Otherwise, it was extremely difficult to do so by relying solely on brute force.

Outside the array, Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing were dumbfounded.

A large array had and were trapping a group of Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s core disciples, including Tu Qianjue!

This was supposed to be something impossible, unimaginable.

This also caused them to view Lin Xun in a completely new light. They had never had any idea that Lin Xun’s attainments in dao runes would be so terrifying!

Meanwhile, in the outside world, at the top of Mythical Huang Main Peak, Taishu Hong, Xia Xinglie, and the Emperor experts were also attracted by this performance of ‘catching the turtle in a jar.’

“One careless move and the whole game is lost. In a direct confrontation, Tu Qianjue isn’t necessarily weaker than Jin Duyi, but yet…he was trapped just like that…” lamented one of them.

“Jin Duyi’s skill in dao runes is phenomenal. Can any of you tell who his teacher in this regard might be?” mused another respected figure.

The other Emperor experts present were wondering the same thing. In the nebula, there was no lack of dao rune masters with superb abilities, but every one of them came from a known lineage that made it easy to distinguish.

Jin Duyi’s method in dao runes, however, stumped all of them as they could not deduce any clues from it.

This was simply uncanny!
