The Prodigies War

Chapter 1979: Bloody Hunt

“Unfortunately…”

Kong Zhao let out a sigh. So what if he knew Jin Duyi’s real identity? So what if he knew that he held the supreme treasure of becoming an Emperor and Ancestor?

Even if they all combined their strength, they were still no match for him!

There was an indescribably frustrated feeling in his chest. He turned his hand over and two talismans were sitting in his palm. One inscribed with the word Panwu, and the other with Heaven and Earth.

“Since I can’t have it, I will destroy you!”

Kong Zhao gritted his teeth and crushed the two talismans.

Bang! Bang!

Two beams of gorgeous light shot up into the clouds.

……

In a mist-shrouded mountainous area, Huangfu Shaonong, along with a group of core disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, were navigating cautiously.

“According to the atlas, if we continue for another two days, we will reach the heart of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, and the legendary Mount Heedless should be there.” Huangfu Shaonong studied the ancient scroll in his hand and reminded, “But before that, everyone must be extra careful.”

Everyone else nodded.

Suddenly, Huangfu Shaonong looked startled, and when he turned his hand over, a talisman took shape, emitting a fiery light.

Immediately afterwards, the mark of a spirit sense emerged.

After a quick examination, Huangfu Shaonong’s eyes shone brightly. Jin Duyi is actually Lin Xun? No wonder, no wonder...

He took a deep breath and turned to the others, “There’s a change. Let’s go find Kong Zhao and the others from the Primordial Dao Court.”

“What’s the matter?”

Everyone was confused.

Huangfu Shaonong just smiled. “It is still uncertain who will be the one to seize the fortune of Mount Heedless, but an opportunity of becoming an Emperor is close at hand!”

……

“Lin Xun…turns out to be him…”

In a stretch of silver desert, Mi Wuya, who was dressed in a white robe whiter than his hair, also received the message. His eyes that were as calm as still water blazed for a rare moment.

Long ago, he already had the foundation to become a supreme quasi-Emperor, but he had been suppressing his cultivation to this day with the hope of entering the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone and seeking an ultimate transformation.

Then what would happen after he joined the ranks of quasi-Emperor?

Of course, it was to ascend the dao and become an Emperor!

“Since ancient times, the Kunlun Dominion has attracted countless extraordinary talents and geniuses to fight for its fortune, but you are the only one who got it...perhaps it is your luck, but since you came across me...”

Mi Wuya smiled silently. “Then let’s try and see who is qualified to own this fortune.”

He turned around and looked at the other members of the Panwu Dao Court nearby. “I’m going to go find Jin Duyi, do you all want to come with me?”

No one objected. In Panwu Dao Court, Mi Wuya was the central figure of the core disciples; no one would go against him.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Mi Wuya nodded, strolling forward with his hands behind his back. His clothes that were whiter than snow and his white, frost-like hair added to his extraordinary and elegant demeanor.

……

Deep in the ancient blood-colored forest.

Kong Zhao was waiting quietly. After sending out the messages, he had absolute confidence that Huangfu Shaonong and Mi Wuya would definitely come after learning about Lin Xun’s real identity!

“Senior Brother Kong Zhao, are we just going to wait like this?” someone asked.

This was the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone where dangers and murderous plots lurked everywhere.

The ancient blood-colored forest they were in did not appear to be dangerous, but who could guarantee that no accident would happen the next moment?

“Do you want to go out and die now?” Kong Zhao snarled coldly, “I only have one life-saving talisman on me, and I’ve used it already. If we leave here now and something unexpected happens, what should we do?”

The others kept their mouths shut.

Everyone could tell that Kong Zhao was in a very bad mood. It was understandable. After combining everyone’s strength, they still suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Jin Duyi and were forced to flee for their lives. Who would be in a good mood?

Someone drew a deep breath before they tried to ask, “What if…I mean, what if Jin Duyi finds this place...”

“So what?”

Kong Zhao snapped, his face darkening. “Don’t tell me you are scared of him?”

Everyone exchanged glances at one another and dared not utter a sound.

Bang!

It was at this moment that the distinctive sharp whistle of an arrow rang out like a clap of thunder in the depths of the silent ancient forest.

“This is bad!”

The Primordial Dao Court disciples instantly turned pale, sensing imminent danger approaching, and they darted far away without hesitation.

Boom!

Where they were originally standing blew up. The nearby ancient trees were reduced to ashes, and a bottomless hole was blasted into the ground.

At the same time, a loud scream of pain pierced the air. It turned out that a Primordial Dao Court disciple had been struck by an arrow while dodging. The flesh on his back was ripped apart, blood was pouring down his body, and his bones were exposed.

“It’s Jin Duyi. He also killed Junior Brother Wang with his divine arrow before!” Lei Fengque cried out in panic.

Suddenly, everyone was aghast. Did Jin Duyi come after them?

“He really came…” Kong Zhao gnashed his teeth, his voice quivering with anger and hatred.

The Telepathic Talisman emerged in the palm of his hand and captured an unusual aura in the very far distance approaching them at a frightening speed.

Kong Zhao never expected that Lin Xun would come so quickly!

“Run!”

He knew they could not wait around for Mi Wuya and Huangfu Shaonong anymore, and fled at full speed together with Lei Fengque and the others.

Shua!

While escaping, another arrow cut through the air. It was unbelievably swift, sudden, and bizarre.

It was immediately followed by a blood-curdling scream. The man whose back was torn by an arrow earlier was not so lucky this time; he was pierced in the throat!

“Junior Brother Li!”

Kong Zhao and the others roared resentfully.

In the blink of an eye, another of their members had been killed. This devastating blow and scene of gruesome death almost drove them mad.

However, their speed did not slow at all and they bolted with everything they had for fear of following in the footsteps of their comrade.

In the blood-colored ancient forest, Lin Xun’s figure repeatedly flashed across. He moved neither hurriedly nor leisurely. After withdrawing the Biluo Arrow and Moli Arrow that he shot out earlier, he continued to chase after the rest.

He looked neither sad nor happy, but rather terrifyingly calm. His state of mind was in a wonderful state—light, clear, and calm as snow.

He could distinctly feel his rage, hatred, and murderous intent, but all these intense emotions were only reflected in his state of mind, unable to cause the slightest ripple.

My blood is boiling, my anger is burning, but my mind is as clear as a mirror!

This time, Lin Xun would not let Kong Zhao and the others escape.

Absolutely not!

……

After rushing out of the blood-colored forest, Kong Zhao and the others continued to flee frantically, teleporting through the void.

However, everyone felt extremely uneasy, anxious, suffocated, and nervous, but at the same time, also extremely angry and aggrieved.

When had they ever been treated like this?

They looked so pathetic now!

Someone asked anxiously, “Senior Brother Kong, where are we running to?”

The shadow of death hovering over their heads gave them tremendous pressure.

“Go to Mount Heedless!” Kong Zhao hissed.

Only by going to Mount Heedless would the chase finally end, because there would be many powerful experts roaming around there.

At that time, would Jin Duyi...no, would that guy Lin Xun dare to hunt them down like this?

What was more, Mi Wuya and Huangfu Shaonong must be on their way. As long as they held on for a little longer, they would definitely be able to escape their current predicament!

Bang!

However, before long, the sharp whistle of an arrow pierced the air once again.

Traveling faster than the sound was an extremely bright arrow wrapped in blinding light cutting through the sky.

Kong Zhao and the others felt their blood run cold and their souls almost left their bodies. They frantically dodged with all their might and activated all sorts of secret techniques and treasures to defend.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a Primordial Dao Court disciple was violently blasted across the air. The pain made him see stars for a moment and his blood and qi tumbled within his body.

He survived the blow because the golden armor on him deflected the arrow.

However, when he was about to continue to run, he found a tall figure blocking his way.

Kong Zhao and the others had already fled far away and had no intention of rescuing him at all.

When disaster struck, everyone would only save themselves!

An indescribable feeling of despair and fear surged in his heart, as he unleashed a ferocious roar like a wild beast and charged at Lin Xun.

“Jin Duyi, I’m going to kill you…”

His voice ceased before he finished his sentence.

Lin Xun twisted his head off and tossed it to the side, leaving blood spurting high from his neck.

Bang!

When Lin Xun left, the headless body dropped to the ground with a boom.

“Senior Brother Kong Zhao, only three of us are left…”

Far away, Lei Fengque, who was madly bolting, screamed hysterically with his hair in disarray. His voice sounded tearful and filled with endless sorrow and resentment, as well as an unconcealable fear.

Kong Zhao’s eyes were about to burst with anger. “If we hold on for a while longer, we will definitely be rescued.” He gritted his teeth.

In truth, his mind was in turmoil!

At the beginning, he regarded Lin Xun as prey and had a joking and mocking attitude, thinking that victory was within his grasp. He even killed Lu Dubu and Su Muhan in front of Lin Xun, and did so with a smug and triumphant expression on his face.

He was a core disciple of the Primordial Daot Court, ranked fifth on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings and was the most dazzling star among the younger generation of the Imperial Kong Clan.

Despite that, at this moment, he was fleeing like a stray dog, watching the comrades around him die in terror one by one...

The feeling tortured Kong Zhao to the point of breakdown!

He even regretted taking on Lin Xun so rashly. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

Bang!

A few minutes later, the familiar twang of the bowstring and the piercing whistle of an arrow rang out again, like the death knell in hell being sounded.

The only person still following Kong Zhao and Lei Fengque had been killed!

This person’s treasures, dao arts, and all defense powers were crushed like paper, unable to bear the power of the arrow at all. The impaled body exploded in mid-air.

From afar, it looked like a scarlet firework blooming in the sky.

At this moment, Lei Fengque broke down, screaming maniacally, “From the beginning, we should not have fled. If we had all fought back together, we would not be killed one by one while running for our lives like we are now!”
