The Prodigies War

Chapter 918: Sacrifice Life

Boom!

Yu Lingkong was wounded once again. Lin Xun’s fist slammed into the left side of his chest with a mighty force and would have blasted through his body if he wasn’t wearing his extraordinary chest armor.

He coughed up blood, and a sense of danger flooded his heart.

But compared to that, the shame and anger inside his heart were worse. He had been wounded once again, something he had never suffered before.

In contrast, Lin Xun became more and more calm. Ever since the Dao Lantern Festival began, he had fought many formidable opponents and experienced many battles, which honed and transformed his strength again and again.

For example, in the Realm of Limits, he underwent a comprehensive breakthrough, then on the Sinking Sea, he underwent another breakthrough. His spirit power also soared to a new height in the Spirit Lantern Illumination test and finally he obtained the Star Annihilation Heaven Devorer grand dao power in the Stele Forest.

Although he had received a series of amazing experiences and gains, he needed time to properly digest and understand them.

However, this extremely arduous battle provided him with a kind of real tempering and training. It allowed him to organize and understand all of his harvests along the way and subsequently his combat strength underwent significant transformations.

Now, his energy and qi were blazing around his body, and his mind had never been clearer. All sorts of new comprehensions rushed up, allowing him to temper himself in the most comprehensive way in this extreme battle!

He continued to push forward, like a demon god moving unhindered through the universe.

Yu Lingkong’s expression finally changed as a feeling of imminent danger enveloped him.

Although he had mobilized tremendous power before, it took a toll on his body and he was almost unable to bear it any longer.

Pu!

His face paled and a jet of blood sputtered out of his mouth. It was a sign of exhaustion.

The other experts were aghast.

Yu Lingkong seemed superior and unrivaled like a god-king. Not only had he mastered all sorts of superb dao arts, but he also possessed a heaven-defying foundation as well as countless trump cards.

But now, he couldn’t hold on anymore!

This was too unimaginable and unbelievable. They had never thought that a peerless genius such as Yu Lingkong would be in such a state!

The two Longevity Land successors looked the worst of them all. They had lost control of their emotions, unable to accept what they witnessed.

The saint treasure Longevity Palace has already been brought out! How can Lin Xun win against it?

How is that possible?

Boom!

On the contrary, Lin Xun felt stronger than ever. His qi was pulsing around his body like never before, and the power of his punches was unstoppable, quaking the sky and the earth.

“Damn it!” The veins on Yu Lingkong’s forehead popped, and his hair seemed to be standing erect with anger. Ever since he started cultivating, he had been invincible, so this blow was no doubt an unerasable shame to him.

He decided to go all in!

At that exact moment, Lin Xun dove down from the sky and wielded his fist downwards. The power of his punch blotted out the sky. Yu Lingkong mobilized all his strength to block the attack and only barely managed to dispel the blow.

His blood and qi frantically tumbled around him, and his condition worsened. He knew that if he didn’t counter soon, it would be impossible to turn the battle around.

However, Lin Xun had no intention of allowing him a chance to breathe. When the power of his punch was dispelled, a snow-white blade slashed through the air with astonishing speed.

Silent Emptiness Slash!

The world turned deathly silent. All sounds seemed to have faded from the world, leaving only a streak of illusory blade light flickering in the air.

Yu Lingkong was petrified, and his hair stood on end. The feeling of crisis made him retreat without hesitation, but he was still a step too late. The sharp edge of the Broken Blade struck him in the chest.

With a crack, his chest armor tore apart like paper, leaving a bloody scar across his body and blood rushing forth as if it was coming from a spring.

He had almost been split open!

Yu Lingkong couldn’t help screaming in agony. He flew up into the air, and a jet of blood sprayed out of his mouth.

The strike startled the world!

The blow was too fierce, invincible, and unstoppable like a strike of god. It came so suddenly and unexpectedly, and it inflicted severe injuries to Yu Lingkong.

Everyone was stupefied.

No one thought that Lin Xun would be so swift and domineering. He gave Yu Lingkong no chance to fight back at all.

The two Longevity Land successors cried out sharply.

Mu Jianting, Li Qinghuan, and others turned ashen-faced, hearts thumping violently.

The faces of Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia contorted with shocked disbelief while waves lifted high in their hearts. Lin Xun’s performance completely exceeded their expectations.

“Ahh…” Yu Lingkong roared at the top of his voice. He erupted in a blaze of light, and the injuries across his body were healing at an incredible speed. His imposing aura was still as strong as before.

How could he accept the fact that he was seconds away from being suppressed and killed?

Boom!

However, before he got up, Lin Xun was already charging towards him again.

At this point in the battle, he knew how terrifyingly strong Yu Lingkong was and that he would become a great trouble to him in the future if he allowed him to live!

Therefore, he decided to kill him once and for all.

It was at that moment when a roar rang in the distance, “Stop, Demon God Lin! Look at who this is!”

The shout came from Sun Chuan, a successor from the Longevity Land.

A young man was restrained in front of him with a sword pressing against his throat.

The young man was precisely Yue Jianming!

Lin Xun’s eyes instantly narrowed, and his face turned extremely cold and menacing. He never thought that Yue Jianming, who had already given up fighting for the fortune and stayed at the bottom of the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree, would be captured as a hostage!

Undoubtedly, this was premeditated!

The other experts’ expressions also turned strange. They couldn’t believe that the high and mighty Longevity Land successors would do something as despicable as capturing hostages.

Moreover, even if they could save Yu Lingkong, then this despicable matter would become a stain on Yu Lingkong for the rest of his life, unable to be removed.

Everyone in the world would think that Yu Lingkong was inferior to Lin Xun, and he used someone else’s life to threaten Lin Xun in order for himself to live!

Even Ji Xingyao and Luo Jia couldn’t help frowning.

Undoubtedly, Yue Jianming had been captured long ago. In other words, this was planned earlier, which sent chills down everyone’s spine. Who would believe that the successors from the Longevity Land would use such a dirty trick?

“Do you all want to die?” Lin Xun’s eyes were colder than the depths of an abyss while his heart was about to explode with killing intent. His every word was filled with a murderous aura.

“Hmph, if you want your friend to live, then do as we say. If you play any tricks then don’t blame us when it goes wrong!” Sun Chuan gave Lin Xun a sinister look as he firmly clutched Yue Jianming and pricked his throat with the sword tip. Drops of bright red blood trickled down his neck.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the other Longevity Land successor rushed over to help restrain Yue Jianming.

The area fell eerily silent, and the tension in the air was palpable.

Many people found it hard to breathe.

Everyone could tell that Lin Xun’s anger was mounting like a volcano about to erupt at any moment. The murderous intent surging around him was overwhelming, palpable and extremely terrifying.

“Let him go, and I’ll release you all. Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive!” Lin Xun uttered indifferently, doing everything he could to contain the murderous rage churning inside of him.

Sun Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that Lin Xun would go back on his words, but they were afraid that he didn’t care about Yue Jianming’s life!

They made the right bet. The mighty Demon God Lin would have to forbear and back down when it came to the life and death of his friend!

A glint flashed in Sun Chuan’s eyes. “We won’t push you too far. If you want your friend to live, then hand over the pagoda in your hand!”

This time, even Ji Xingyao couldn’t stand it anymore.

Is this not too far? I can’t believe the successors from the Longevity Land would have such an ugly side!

Yu Lingkong kept silent, desperately trying to treat his wounds.

He didn’t add a single word, but he had already decided in his heart that once he survived, he would kill Sun Chuan and announce to the world that this matter had nothing to do with him!

Only by doing this could he save his reputation. As for Sun Chuan, he didn’t care at all.

“You want me to hand over the pagoda?” Lin Xun muttered, his expression growing colder and colder. He never thought that such shameless words would come from the mouth of a Longevity Land successor. He felt like he was about to burst from rage.

“You heard right, so don’t sound so confused.” Sun Chuan felt incredibly smug and triumphant like he had pinched Lin Xun’s weak spot.

“Senior Brother Sun, isn’t that too much? I believe the elders of our sect would not approve of this,” Bai Lingxi asked coldly, unable to hold back anymore.

Sun Chuan’s face darkened as he snapped, “Bai Lingxi, I could tell that you have some sort of relationship with that kid! Remember that you are a successor of the Longevity Land. How can you betray your sect and help that kid? This is an unforgivable crime!”

Bai Lingxi narrowed her bright eyes, and anger spread across her beautiful face. She never thought that she would be treated and scolded like that.

But before she could say anything, Yue Jianming suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Xun with shame and apology. “Lin Xun, I’m sorry to trouble you. You have helped me many times along the way, but I have done nothing but repeatedly cause trouble for you...”

He drew a deep breath, and his face bore a look of determination. “You treat me as a friend, so I won’t let anyone blackmail you!”

A bad feeling flooded Lin Xun’s heart, and his face dramatically changed. “No!”

But it was too late. After Yue Jianming finished speaking, he looked liberated and lunged forward and threw himself at the sword tip.

Pu!

Blood spurted everywhere, dyeing the void a striking red.

The audience fell utterly silent and still.

No one thought that Yue Jianming would sacrifice himself in such a resolute and calm manner.

And he did that to prevent Lin Xun from being blackmailed.

Everyone’s heart brimmed with indescribable shock.

Bright red blood sprayed over Sun Chuan as he stood there blankly with widened eyes.

Beside him, Yu Lingkong and the other Longevity Land successor were petrified. It never crossed their minds that Yue Jianming would be so firm and unwavering.
