The Prodigies War

Chapter 1502 Trap and Kill Saint

The ninth longevity tribulation stage, possesses many teleportation Saint treasure, comes from the Ancient Wasteland Domain...

She Feng quickly captured a lot of information about Lin Xun. His expression was colder than ice, and his dark brown eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Unquestionably, he is one of the supreme figures of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

But in She Feng’s eyes, he was nothing special.

What he was only interested in was Lin Xun’s God Burning Wings, a treasure with the magical ability to teleport. It could be regarded as a rare and precious treasure even in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

Swoosh!

During the pursuit, She Feng repeatedly launched the flying shuttle-like treasure through the air at Lin Xun.

Although Lin Xun evaded the attack time and time again, it still affected his speed and attempt to escape.

She Feng soon closed the distance between them...

I can’t run anymore!

Lin Xun felt his heart beating crazily in his chest, as if some sort of unimaginable danger was waiting for him ahead.

Shua!

The God Burning Wings flashed behind him, and he suddenly turned around and darted in the other direction.

But this meant that the distance between him and She Feng got closer.

“Young man, if you surrender now, I perhaps can let you die a painless death. You must know that if it weren’t for those wings, you would be dead by now!” She Feng’s ice-cold voice rang behind him, loaded with murderous intent.

If it were other experts below the Saint Stage, then they would have already given up hope. After all, being hunted down by a True Saint was no different from being targeted by the god of death.

But before She Feng’s voice died away, Lin Xun unsheathed the Broken Blade, and it shot across the air, drawing an arc of gorgeous white light.

Birth Destruction Slash!

However, his target was not She Feng, but the spirit refinement ancestral tree beside She Feng.

Huh?

She Feng’s face went dark. “Are you trying to use someone else’s strength?” he snorted coldly. “Wishful thinking!”

Shua!

As he was speaking, he had already activated the art of teleportation and pounced at Lin Xun. “Die!”

In She Feng’s view, if Lin Xun had not made such a stupid move, he would not have been able to catch up.

He did not hesitate to seize the opportunity, and he was absolutely confident that he could kill Lin Xun once and for all.

But to his surprise, just as he was pouncing at him, time seemed to have been frozen by a terrifyingly mysterious power, and he came to a still in midair.

The magnificent power of Time Stopping!

At the same time, Lin Xun’s Broken Blade made a slashing stroke at the spirit refinement ancestral tree.

Boom!

Visibly, the ancient tree that seemed to be made out of bronze erupted with a beam of terrifying turbid gray light and it swept the area.

“No!”

By the time that She Feng reacted, the turbid gray light was already gushing towards him and had completely engulfed his figure.

Within a radius of thousands of feet, all vegetation, rocks and trees were corroded in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

She Feng was a mighty True Saint, yet his flesh and bones were corroded in the blink of an eye, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

Even his spirit was devoured by the beam of gray light!

Lin Xun had already taken advantage of the chance to bolt thousands of feet away, but when he saw the bizarre and horrifying scene, he was still chilled to the core and broke out in cold sweat.

So terrifying!

In the blink of an eye, a True Saint had his flesh and body corroded and his spirit swallowed up.

And the culprit was just a tree!

If Lin Xun had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never believe that such a frighteningly bizarre thing would happen in the world.

He looked at the battlefield again and not a blade of grass grew within thousands of feet. Only the spirit refinement ancestral tree was still deeply rooted, producing a gray sheen from its bare branches.

Lin Xun shuddered at the thought of how he had approached the tree earlier and harvested the spirit refinement treasure source from its root.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, he turned around and left.

She Feng, a True Saint, had died, and all the treasures on him had been corroded and destroyed; there were no spoils at all.

But as Lin Xun moved away from the area, he noticed that his first Flying Immortal Tablet had gained a speck of star-like light.

Fortunes of War Merits!

Lin Xun’s spirit was immediately lifted.

Clearly, although She Feng had been killed by the ancestral tree, his great dao luck was absorbed by the Flying Immortal Tablet.

But when Lin Xun checked on the Ancient Wasteland Badge, he was a little speechless to find that there was no record of him killing She Feng.

However, after thinking about it, understanding dawned on him.

The Flying Immortal Tablet absorbed a kind of invisible Fortunes of War Merits. Whether or not the opponent was killed directly or indirectly, as long as they possessed great dao luck power, it would be absorbed by the Flying Immortal Tablet.

Whereas, the Ancient Wasteland Badge was a treasure that recorded and stored battle merits. Only enemies killed directly by the owner of the badge would be recorded and counted as a battle merit.

Hu— Hu—

While escaping, Lin Xun’s face suddenly paled and his breathing became labored.

He did not hesitate to take out a sprig of divine herb and consume it. The divine power of Time Stopping had helped him to successfully kill She Feng, but it depleted his reservoirs of strength.

This was the shortcoming of the divine power of Time Stopping. Unless pushed into a desperate situation, Lin Xun would not rashly activate it.

......

“Elder She Feng has been gone for half an hour, why isn’t he back yet?”

The men and women of the Golden Demon Snake Clan had been waiting all this time, but they were beginning to feel uneasy and worried.

It should be as simple as drinking water for a True Saint to kill an opponent below the Saint Stage. It should not have taken so long.

They all started to worry about whether She Feng had met with an accident.

“Stay here, I’ll go take a look.”

A slender, stern-faced man in blue drew a deep breath and made a decision. “If Elder She Feng or I do not return in the time it takes to burn an incense stick, then you should leave this forest immediately and ask the masters of our clan to come!”

Everyone else nodded.

“She Meng, you have to be careful!” someone reminded him.

The young man in blue who was called She Meng nodded and disappeared with a flash.

“Everyone, don’t let down your guards. It is said that many strange and unpredictable dangers happen in the Spirit Refinement Forest. In previous Conflicts of the Nine Domains, many Saints had also lost their way here and never returned.”

“We must not be careless!”

The remaining men and women became much more vigilant.

Rumor had it that unusual creatures that were more terrifying than spirit refinement ancestral trees resided in the depths of the forest. No one knew whether the rumors were true.

After all, it was their first time in the Nine Domains Battlefield.

“Don’t you find it strange? She Zhen is a top figure of the eighth longevity tribulation stage and Elder She Feng is a True Saint, but one has been silently killed and we are still waiting to hear back from Elder She Feng.”

Someone looked bewildered and asked, “Does that mean the murderer of She Zhen is not an ordinary person?”

“Regardless of how extraordinary they are, if they have not become a Saint, they would be no match for Elder She Feng.” someone confidently reassured. “Just wait, perhaps Elder She Feng will soon return with the murderer’s head.”

Pu!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blur before his eyes, and a figure was standing in front of him. Before he could react, he had been beheaded!

A fountain of scarlet blood sprayed from the headless corpse. The others screamed out in horror.

The person who had come was unexpectedly Lin Xun! 𝒩ew st𝒐ries at n𝒐velbin(.)co𝒎

After killing one of the enemies, he did not pause and unleashed the Taixuan sword qi stored in his body!

Boom!

A complicated and dazzling sword array spread out and enveloped everyone present. Rays of dazzling sword qi criss-crossed in the air, slicing their bodies into chunks.

No one could block it.

The sword array was too terrifying and amazing, destroying everything in its way.

Moreover, the strongest Golden Demon Snake Clan expert present was only at the supreme eighth longevity tribulation stage. They obviously were no match for Lin Xun.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was turned into a pool of blood, with chunks of flesh floating on the surface, and a nauseating stench of blood filled the air.

When the battle came to an end, the rays of Taixuan sword qi returned to Lin Xun like a flock of birds returning to their nest. After that, he started to organize the spoils.

Rare treasures, pills, herbs, divine ingredients, aeth materials...a dazzling array of items were looted.

Among them, three were Saint treasures!

In addition, Lin Xun was delighted to find four vials filled with spirit refinement treasure source.

The only thing that disappointed him was that, after he killed all the opponents, only some battle merits were recorded on the Ancient Wasteland Badge. As for the Fortunes of War Merits in the Flying Immortal Tablet, it did not increase at all.

After doing all this, Lin Xun vanished into thin air like a ghost.

He had already caused a huge disturbance by slaughtering all the opponents. He should not stay around anymore.

Swoosh!

As expected, it did not take long for She Meng, the man in blue, to return. When he saw the carnage on the ground, his face blanched, and his hands and feet went cold.

“It’s not been that long and they’re all dead...”

His chest violently heaved up and down. He realized the bad situation and turned on his heel and fled.

Elder She Feng had disappeared, and all of his comrades had been massacred. To him, the Spirit Refinement Forest was the land of death!

Half a day later.

She Meng successfully escaped from the Spirit Refinement Forest without any mishap. Without any delay, he took out a golden secret talisman and crushed it in his hand.

Bang!

An arc of bright golden light shot upwards and disappeared in the distant sky.

Soon, in the vast area within a radius of thousands of miles, almost everyone noticed the golden arc of light.

“It’s a reinforcement request from the Golden Demon Snake Clan!” someone gasped.

“Let’s go to the Spirit Refinement Forest to take a look.”

Some people realized that the golden light was sent from the distant Spirit Refinement Forest.

“Quick, let’s go and take a look together. The Blood Demon Territory belongs to the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, and we made a pact with the other seven domains to first get rid of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. The fact that a powerful enemy has appeared there suggests that they are from the Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

All of a sudden, the area thousands of miles around the Spirit Refinement Forest became turbulent!
