The Prodigies War-Chapter 1481 Power of a Single Step

Rumble!

It felt like a thunderclap exploding in the lake of Bi Hen’s heart.

In her eyes, the man who had taken a step forward resembled an abyss swallowing the sky and the stars. He gave off a terrible pressure that suppressed all life and even time could not erode.

In comparison, Bi Hen felt like an ant who could only crawl on the ground and look up at him, unable to ever fully understand the extent of his greatness!

Her complexion immediately paled, and every inch of flesh and muscle in her body stiffened as a chilling aura of dread surged across her like a cold stream of air.

Oh?

Yi Tianlin was the first to realize that something was off. He had originally planned to help the moment Lin Xun showed any indication of losing.

However, Yi Tianlin observed that Bi Hen seemed to be overcome by terror the moment Lin Xun stepped forward. There was no longer any trace of her domineering, fierce, and arrogant aura from before.

It was as if a single step had placed her under an unbearable oppression!

"Young Master..."

Xie Wei opened her mouth but couldn’t finish her sentence. She was surprised and touched that Lin Xun was standing up for her, but she didn't wish for him to repeat the others’ mistakes and end up being injured by the foreign woman.

At this moment, however, she also realized that something was wrong.

A single step from Lin Xun had rooted Bi Hen to the spot, unable to make a move!

"This..."

The others soon realized that something was wrong as well and became bewildered.

Thud!

Under the crowd’s astonished gazes, Bi Hen fell to her knees and prostrated herself in the lowliest manner possible!

The ground shook violently due to the force, causing the nearby rocks and grass to tremble.

A single step!

The foreign domain woman who had disrespected all of them and displayed such domineering ferocity earlier was now kneeling on the ground.

It was an earth-shaking scene that shocked everyone. It left them wide-eyed and in disbelief; some had even forgotten to breathe for a moment.

It must be known that she was no ordinary individual but a sword cultivator who had attained the supreme path. Additionally, her combat power was so strong that it had made everyone nearly despair earlier.

And yet, a casual step forward from Lin Xun had made her kneel!

On the other hand, Lin Xun appeared as composed as before. His expression was calm as if he believed that this was the only possible outcome. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)

Several people swallowed repeatedly as their hearts trembled at the realization that the young man whom they had ignored previously was actually a terrifying individual!

Yi Tianlin had a slightly dazed expression. He was also in shock and was unable to compose himself.

How could he have anticipated that such an unrivaled expert would appear at an event he organized?

Xie Wei covered her mouth while her already large eyes grew even bigger.

She had felt that Lin Xun wasn’t ordinary when she first saw him, but she had never imagined that he would be so powerful!

Senior Sister Gu was also stunned.

She had been unimpressed when she saw Lin Xun previously and had almost objected to his participation in the assembly. It was only because of Yi Tianlin's arrival that she had turned her attention away and forgotten about Lin Xun.

At the present, however...

Regret suddenly welled up in her heart. If only she had been like Xie Wei earlier and treated him with respect, the sword shadow would probably have failed to slap her face.

"Who are you?"

A cold, angry, and alarmed voice emerged from Bi Hen’s mouth, breaking the silence.

Right, who is he?

Yi Tianlin and the others were also curious.

Lin Xun looked down at her and indifferently replied, "Does a prisoner have the right to ask?"

His words stabbed Bi Hen's heart like sharp knives, causing her to feel extremely angry and humiliated.

Since arriving in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, she had always felt a sense of superiority over the cultivators here.

Now, however, she had been forced to kneel by a single step, and her dignity was being trampled on!

Yi Tianlin and the others were feeling an indescribable sense of elation. Bi Hen’s arrogant and domineering attitude had frustrated them earlier, so seeing her like this was a form of release for them.

"I've no interest in bullying a maidservant like you. Go back and tell your master that he can find me if he wants. I can give him a chance to challenge me."

Lin Xun retracted his gaze and walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

"Remember, my name is Lin Xun."

He had already disappeared by the time his final words rang out.

An uproar erupted on the mountain peak due to Lin Xun’s parting remark.

Lin Xun!

Demon God Lin!

To the cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, this name was akin to a legend and a living myth of the supreme path.

Was there anyone who didn’t know him?

"It's him..."

Yi Tianlin seemed to be lost in a trance. He wanted to call out to Lin Xun, but he was already nowhere to be seen.

"So he’s Demon God Lin..."

Xie Wei’s breathing grew hurried as her pretty face glowed, realizing that she had unknowingly interacted with the infamous Demon God Lin.

It felt like a dream.

Senior Sister Gu grew increasingly regretful as mixed feelings filled her heart.

The fact that she had slighted Demon God Lin filled her with deep remorse.

As for the others, they shared a similar reaction. No wonder he had forced the opponent to her knees with a single step. Wasn’t that only logical since he was Demon God Lin?

Bi Hen, who was still prostrate on the ground, was speechless. Her heart churned wildly as a sense of relief washed over her.

After all, it wasn’t humiliating to be defeated by Demon God Lin.

......

On that day, the news of Demon God Lin’s appearance at the Thousand Streams Assembly swiftly spread and caused quite a stir.

"After two years, that legendary undefeatable myth of a man has appeared again!"

Many cultivators were excited by the news.

Lin Xun had returned to the lower realm two years ago. However, to the cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

For the past two years, no one had heard any news of him, which resulted in plenty of speculation.

Some said that Demon God Lin had probably encountered a mishap. After all, it was well known that he had offended many ancient orthodoxies, and it was likely that he had been secretly killed off.

Some said that Demon God Lin had entered secluded cultivation to attack the Supreme Saint stage.

Of course, some also suspected that he had left the Ancient Wasteland Domain and returned to his hometown.

Regardless of who was right, the fact was that Demon God Lin had reappeared today!

An ordinary cultivator naturally wouldn’t draw much attention, but Lin Xun was obviously no ordinary person.

Back then, he had dominated the Supreme Realm by ranking first on the Genius Gold Rankings, becoming the number one expert of the Supreme Realm, and defeating all of his opponents!

Back then, he had been surrounded and attacked by many Saint experts outside Snow Mulberry City but ended up slaying all of them. It was an incident that shocked the world and left many ancient orthodoxies alarmed and furious.

Now, he was back!

"He has appeared again."

On that day, many ancient orthodoxies were alerted, and even several old monsters couldn't help take note of the news.

After all, Lin Xun had killed not just one Saint expert but several!

"Things will no longer be lonely among our generation."

Several supreme path experts such as Ye Mohe, Mi Hengzhen, Wang Xuanyu, and a few others sighed deeply upon learning the news. freew ebnov el

"Hahaha, I knew Lin Xun wouldn’t miss out on the Conflict of the Nine Domains."

Those on good terms with Lin Xun such as Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, and the others, were happy about his return.

"Things are going to become lively again in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. After all, Demon God Lin always causes waves whenever he appears."

"Recently, those foreign domain enemies have descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain and arrogantly yammered that there’s no one capable among us. But now, Demon God Lin will certainly make them change their tone!"

"Demon God Lin forced Lang Qianheng's maidservant to kneel with a single step and even boldly declared that he would give Lang Qianheng a chance to challenge him. I’m dying to find out whether Lang Qianheng dares to rise to the challenge."

"We'll just have to wait and see!"

On that day, countless discussions occurred in various districts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

The news had spread so quickly due to Lin Xun's fame and the Windspeaker Clan.

Upon hearing of his appearance, the clan that controlled all of the news trees in the world immediately disseminated the information to the various cities using the golden news tree leaves.

As a result, Lin Xun's appearance was known to cultivators all over the Ancient Wasteland Domain in less than a day.

A few days later.

East Victory World, Baiyujing.

A golden-robed youth stood before the Spirit Tempering Tower. He gave off a natural disdainful aura that resembled a mighty tiger’s or dragon’s.

His thick, blood-red hair hung down to his waist, his chiseled facial features looked as if they had been carved with a knife, and his turquoise pupils glowed with a strange light.

"Hmm, a single step managed to force you to your knees."

The golden-robed youth retracted his gaze from the Spirit Tempering Tower and sighed deeply. "I never imagined that there would be such a person in the Ancient Wasteland Domain where the supreme path has been cut off for countless years."

Next to him, Bi Hen's face paled as she lowered her head and said, "This slave is incompetent."

The golden-robed youth was Lang Qianheng, a peerless expert from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain. He was the very individual who had boldly challenged all the supreme path experts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Over the past few months, he had crushed every opponent and boasted an undefeated record. It was an amazing feat that stirred up the Ancient Wasteland Domain and made numerous cultivators bow their heads in shame.

"Incompetent?" Hehe, although you’re my maidservant, is there anyone in the Blood Demon Ancient Domain who doesn't know of your remarkable talent?"

Lang Qianheng glanced at Bi Hen. "Otherwise, how could you have caught my eye and been allowed to serve me?"

Bi Hen still felt agonized. "But I ultimately lost. I couldn’t even withstand a single step from him. Such humiliation will probably be impossible to repay in my lifetime."

She knew full well how big of a gap there was between herself and Lin Xun.

"If you can’t, I'll help you."

An intimidatingly frosty expression emerged from between Lang Qianheng's brows. "One should first look at the dog’s master before beating the dog. As my maidservant, isn’t your humiliation akin to a slap to my face?"

Bi Hen was stunned for a moment. She said, "Is Master going to challenge Lin Xun?"

Lang Qianheng indifferently said, "No, I want him to come to me. Help me spread the news that I will be waiting for him a month later in front of this Spirit Tempering Tower!"

Bi Hen's heart shook as she nodded.

At this moment, however, a shrill voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Lang, why wait a month? Are you lacking the confidence to defeat Lin Xun? How about I help you deal with him?"
