The Prodigies War-Chapter 2211: Throwing Off the Opponent with One Sword Strike

Seeing that Lin Xun agreed, Xuan Jiuyin let out a long sigh of relief. In fact, he was also quite upset at this himself.

It was his father who had taken the initiative to invite Lin Xun over to their clan, but now that the man had really come to be their guest, he had to face rejection and resistance from the clansmen. This was just ridiculous!

However, Xuan Jiuyin knew that those elders were in high positions in his clan and simply not something a young junior like himself could shake.

The group rode the boat and vanished into a whirlpool on the long river.

When Lin Xun's vision cleared up, he had appeared in a secret realm.

He was greeted by fresh and peaceful astral air washing all over him. Everywhere was the sight of greenery and clear water, springs and waterfalls, exotic grasses and flowers, and spirit birds and beasts. Countless heavenly treasures dotted every inch of the land, making it an otherworldly paradise.

Far away, at the very center of this heaven and earth, a lofty mountain range stood, on which many palaces had been built.

From deep inside the void above those mountains, a faint but powerful aura radiated outward. It seemed to be a dwelling that had been opened up within space by a powerful expert!

Amazing!

As far as his eyes could see, Lin Xun found that every inch of space in this world was brimming with pure and rich chaos qi, auspicious purple essence, and astral air…

Cultivating here for a year would be equal to ten years in the outside world!

This was the Xuan Clan.

The distant mountains were the Divine Xuan Mountain Range, rumored to be condensed from the power of Divine Xuan Mirror, which was a chaos treasure. It was by no means inferior to Qingmang Sacred Mountain of Mythical Huang Dao Court.

“Brother Lin, although you are now a supreme Emperor, you must still be careful. Those elders of my clan also know very well that you are no ordinary Emperor expert. They have even dug deep for information about you. If someone really dares to come out and obstruct you, then they must be confident in whatever they have in their sleeve.” Xuan Jiuyin quickly transmitted upon arrival.

Lin Xun nodded while maintaining a calm expression.

Their interaction was interrupted by a sudden fluctuation in the void, from which a burly and tall figure emerged. His muscles looked like cemented bronze, his face was stalwart, and his eyes were intimidatingly cold. Bathed in splendid violet Emperor law power, his arrival resembled the descent of a god.

“Seventh Uncle!” Xuan Jiuyin was stunned. He had never thought that someone would find them so quickly right after they had just entered the clan’s territory, and it was a very unexpected person at that!

“Lil’ Jiu, you should know what's coming next, so step aside,” said the majestic man, his voice deep and loud with a supreme might.

With that, he turned to Lin Xun, and after a brief scan, he said, “I am Xuan Yunheng, fifth realm Emperor. The world calls me Sword Emperor Yunheng. To proceed, you must defeat me.”

His words were curt but concise, exuding indifference.

“Seventh Uncle, you can't not know that Emperor Daoyuan has slain many sixth realm old fellows. For you to just casually challenge him like this, it's…” Xuan Jiuyin's expression flickered dimly.

“How can those same-generation people in the outside world compare to me?” A hint of disdain flared in Xuan Yunheng's eyes. “We of the Xuan Clan never take the major powers on this Ancient Nebula Road seriously. Do you know why we dare to do so, Jiuyin?”

He immediately continued with incomparable pride, “Because our surname is Xuan. The power we wield is stronger, superior to theirs!”

Xuan Jiuyin nodded. “You are right, Seventh Uncle, but don't forget you are at the fifth realm while Emperor Daoyuan is only at the first realm. Despite your status and seniority, you insist on making things difficult for a young cultivator. Don't you think this is a disgrace for the Xuan Clan, even if you win in the end?”

He was really irritated and angry. Xuan Yunheng's battle power was beyond that of ordinary fifth realm Emperors. In fact, he had long cultivated a terrifying foundation that could be called invincible in this realm!

Xuan Yunheng coldly glanced at Xuan Jiuyin. “No need to try and goad me. Who in the nebula doesn't know that he, Lin Xun, is the first person to have become a supreme Emperor in a hundred thousand years? And who doesn't know about the bloodshed that had occurred before the Imperial Kong Clan’s mountain gate twenty days ago?”

Pausing, he redirected his gaze to Lin Xun. “It is precisely because I regard you highly, thinking that you are strong enough to force my hands, that I’m the first to stop you.”

His voice was frighteningly emotionless. “Now, do you dare to fight me?”

Big Yellow wanted to say something, but Lin Xun stopped it, then looked at Xuan Yunheng and asked, “After you, is there anyone else who plans to block my way forward?”

Xuan Yunheng looked nonchalant. “Defeat me and you'll know. What's the point of knowing if you end up being stopped here?”

Lin Xun nodded. “I will only execute one sword strike. If you successfully block it, then I will immediately turn around and leave.”

In some dark shadows that Lin Xun wasn’t aware of, a number of elders were watching this all, and some of them looked surprised at the moment.

What’s with this Lin Daoyuan, looking down on Xuan Yunheng so blatantly? Does he think that walking the supreme path allows him to dominate everyone else from above?

Meanwhile, one person clapped their hands and laughed loudly, “Only those who have stepped into the Supreme Emperor Stage have this kind of temerity. How can ordinary people understand such charisma?”

“One sword strike?” Xuan Yunheng frowned, his face covered in frost.

“One sword strike,” confirmed Lin Xun calmly. His tone was neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither mad nor conceited, but his calm demeanor made it so that no one dared to underestimate him.

Even though Xuan Yunheng’s heart was already thundering with anger, he didn’t think less of Lin Xun’s strength and let his guard down. He nodded. “Then I would like to witness the elegance of this sword strike for myself.”

Saying that, he spread his arms and, in an instant, transformed into a ten-thousand-foot tall giant. He looked like a pillar between the sky and earth with each block of his muscle as big as a hill. Dispersing a berserk aura, he resembled the demon god who could prop up heaven in the legends. His might was monumental.

The golden divine glow radiating from him illuminated the whole world, which had just been shadowed by his massive figure.

Big Yellow swept a glance at the figure and commented, “His power has fused with the dao, and his might has materialized. He’s indeed nothing an ordinary fifth realm Emperor can compare to.”

Xia Zhi and Xuan Jiuyin had both long retreated from the battle zone.

“Come, let me see how powerful this sword strike of yours is!”

Xuan Yunheng spread his arms wide as if he wanted to cover the sky. His legs were rooted firm like heavenly pillars. The aura that diffused from him was so terrifying that the void around buzzed and wailed.

Undoubtedly, he had utilized his entire cultivation.

However, Lin Xun's gaze was unperturbed. There was not a trace of emotion as he casually closed his fingers in the air and made a drawing gesture.

With this action, heaven and earth shook. The air in all directions seemed to have been suddenly drained away as ten thousand feet of space collapsed into voidness.

In Lin Xun's palm, a dazzling sword was being pulled out inch by inch.

With every inch drawn, the region trembled once. An acute and boundless sword intent spread outward, reducing the grass and trees in its wake to ash and creating webs of cracks on the ground.

Xuan Yunheng’s eyes flashed with gravity as his flesh was feeling a vague pain. He couldn’t help but be surprised, and his battle instincts that had been developed through many years drove him to striking out first.

Offense was the most powerful defense!

Boom!

He swung his arm that was as thick as a mountain range, slamming his fist down at Lin Xun. Imbued with thick dao mysteries and as heavy and solid as a mountain, the punch was like a pillar of light that ripped through space with a desire to shatter the world.

Surging and raging Emperor might washed through the nine heavens and ten earths.

Right at this moment, the nine-inch sword in Lin Xun's hand fully coalesced and blossomed into a hundred thousand feet of sword qi. Like the first ray of sunlight after dark, it blotted out everything with its glow.

Nine Inches of Eternal Destruction!

The fist force and the sword qi clashed in an explosion of light and thunderous dao noises. The next second, the world-shattering fist was split by the sword, turning into a rain of light that sprayed all over the sky before it dissipated.

KABOOM!

The void crumbled. When the sword qi slashed down, Xuan Yunheng's massive body was sent flying, smashing out one patch of the void after another.

Finally, he crashed into the ground and created a huge human-shaped gully while kicking up a huge cloud of dust!

With one sword strike, an old monster of the Xuan Clan, a fifth realm Emperor with a powerfully deep foundation, had been sent flying!

Xia Zhi and Big Yellow looked calm as they had seen this too many times before, but for Xuan Jiuyin, this was his first time seeing Lin Xun’s power after the latter had become a supreme Emperor. The youth’s mouth and eyes had gone agape in shock.

So strong?!

The strike had also rattled the minds of the Xuan Clan elders who were watching in the shadows. They displayed a variety of expressions.

“Again!”

A rumbling sound echoed. It split the ground, blew up the mountains, caused the clouds to disperse, and disrupted the atmosphere in all directions. Xuan Yunheng had rushed up and was standing in the air, his voice carrying endless rage.

Lin Xun put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly, “You can't even block one strike, so what do you have to clamor here? Make way.”

Infuriated, Xuan Yunheng’s breathing quickened and his expression quickly shifted for a long time. In the end, he swung his hand and teleported away.

“Seventh Uncle, it’s not a loss to be defeated under a sword strike of a supreme Emperor!” shouted Xuan Jiuyin with a big grin, as if he was intentionally stimulating the other party.

In the shadows, the faces of a good number of the Xuan Clan’s elders darkened, their beards flying as they glared at Xuan Jiuyin. Damned brat, you actually side with an outsider and even mock your elder on his account!

“Could it be…that you are a supreme Sword Emperor?”

A hoarse and low voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth. Simultaneously, a figure who emanated a bloodthirsty and murderous aura appeared out of nowhere.

She was dressed in colorful garments and had hair as white as snow. On her comely and beautiful face, there was a violent aura that made one's heart tremble in fear.

She stared fixedly at Lin Xun with a touch of burning fighting spirit. It was a desire for battle stemming from when one saw a worthy opponent.

“I’m not.” Lin Xun shook his head. Even though he was equipped with many supreme sword dao legacies, he was not a pure sword cultivator.

At the same time, Xuan Jiuyin's nervous voice rang in his ears, telling him the identity of this woman.

Xuan Caini!

She was a sixth realm expert whose dharma name was Spirit Eater Sword Emperor. Once, she had defeated thirty-seven sword Emperors in the same stage with just one sword strike, showing unparalleled mastery in the dao of the sword.

Even Xuan Jiuyin had never expected his Thirteenth ‘Younger Aunt’ to show up here, with a fervent fighting intent directed at Lin Xun!

“Your strike just now is the legacy of primeval Sword Exalt Zhukong. How could you possibly obtain his legacy if you are not a Sword Emperor?” Xuan Caini furrowed her brows. She obviously had recognized the sword strike that Lin Xun had just used.

“Just because I’m not a sword cultivator doesn't mean that I don't understand the sword dao.” Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he detected a sense of threat from the woman.

“Defeat me, and no one in the Xuan Clan will block you again,” said Xuan Caini directly, straightforwardly, and impactfully.

In the shadows, many Xuan Clan elders were dumbstruck. Although Xuan Caini wasn’t among the people they had arranged for this, they had originally thought that she had also objected to welcoming Lin Xun as a guest. However, looking at the situation, she had obviously been attracted here by his sword strike…
