The Prodigies War
Chapter 1592: Draw in Net

In the next few days, Lin Xun’s footprints were all over the mountains. He would walk for a while and then stop, as if searching for something.

Along the way, he also picked up a lot of divine materials and herbs.

Occasionally, he would encounter Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits, but he stayed away from them and did not attack. He was extremely cautious.

In the dark, Zhu Yingkong had been closely watching Lin Xun’s movements via the bronze mirror. He saw him travel back and forth through the mountains and valleys and saw him gather materials and herbs…

“That guy is acting very careful. He must be worried about alerting others. He even held back from taking action when he encountered Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits.

“Unfortunately, he still hasn’t realized that he has already stepped into our trap. No matter how long he searches, he won’t find any traces of us,” Zhu Yingkong uttered leisurely.

Originally, he was quite wary of Lin Xun due to his skills in the art of runes and was worried that he would see through the dao rune forbidden array he had set up.

However, after several days of observation, he gradually felt more at ease.

“Be careful. That guy might be violent and mad, but he is by no means stupid. When he senses something is wrong, he will definitely retreat,” Xue Qingyi reminded him.

In the past few days, the supreme Saints of the eight domains had gathered together and moved around together, and no more accidents happened.

Moreover, they only needed a few more Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits for Zhu Yingkong to activate the Great Thousand Ghost Array.

“That kid has fallen into the net. He can’t escape even if he can fly now!” Zhu Yingkong said in a low voice. “However, to not let anything unexpected happen, we should collect all the Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits we need today, and we can pull in the net tomorrow.”

“Then let’s keep going,” Kun Shaoyu said resolutely.

This time, they were well prepared and had made painstaking efforts. So far, the situation had been completely under their control.

Everyone was quite pleased.

“Let’s go!” Chi Wushu almost couldn’t hold back his murderous intent at the thought that they could draw in the net and kill Lin Xun tomorrow.

It was the same with peerless figures such as Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao, who hated Lin Xun to the core. They all couldn’t wait to get rid of Lin Xun to vent their anger and hatred.

“We have united the top forces of the eight domains to just deal with Lin Xun…if that kid survives this time, it will be an utter humiliation to the eight domains. In this Conflict of the Nine Domains, wouldn’t it mean that the Ancient Wasteland Domain is the best?” Lie Qian couldn’t help but sigh as they moved forward.

Lin Xun!

An insignificant character who they completely disregarded at first, but he was like a dark horse in the Conflict of the Nine Domains, rising in a strong and mighty manner.

Now, he was like a supreme overlord, becoming the number one enemy of the eight domains whom everyone hated to the bone!

This was something that they never imagined would happen.

“No, the Ancient Wasteland Camp will still be defeated this time like before!” Xue Qingyi promised. His scarlet eyes gleamed. “Don’t forget that the Ancient Wasteland Camp’s City of Protection is now…under siege by the forces of our eight domains!”

Those words made everyone’s eyes flash.

The competition in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm only lasted for ten days, and now four days had passed. Regardless of how strong the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s City of Protection was, how could it withstand the combined attack of the eight domain alliance?

……

Rumble!

Outside the City of Protection, deafening battle cries shook the clouds and a billowing murderous aura rose into the air like smoke, obscuring the sky on all sides.

The great eight domains army, under the command of an old monster from the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain who was adept in the art of runes, continuously launched a barrage of attacks on the City of Protection.

Tidal waves of dao arts and powerful rivers of treasures repeatedly bombarded the city. The mighty force and blazing explosions turned the world another color.

This was already the fourth day of the eight domains army’s attack on the city!

In the past four days, the army had basically taken turns to attack the city and never paused once. Their offensive was simple but incredibly aggressive and violent!

They wanted to break the array and the city with brute force!

In the past four days, the City of Protection had been in a precarious position, like an island in the vast ocean constantly being battered by the stormy waves.

The Total Annihilation Perfect Protection Array had been activated to its full power. The entire city shone with a golden brilliance to just barely withstand the relentless attacks.

However, Shaohao, Ruowu, Zhao Jingxuan and other supreme Saints defending the city all wore extremely solemn expressions.

The opponents were extremely cunning and avoided coming close, which made it impossible for them to bring out the true power of the Four Killing Arrays and deal significant damage to the enemies.

Until now, the opponent’s army was completely unwounded!

On the other hand, in the City of Protection, countless cultivators were feeling worried and uneasy. The past few days felt as long as several years!

The army of the eight domains had gone all out this time, showing magnificent might and momentum. Enemies had surrounded the city on all sides.

The sight of the great army approaching the city alone already brought tremendous pressure to the people.

“The aeth veins below the great array in the city can last three more days at most. If we continue to take a beating like this, the city will likely be captured before the Flying Immortal Battle Realm comes to an end.” Ruowu lowered her brows in a worried frown.

“That’s nothing. More importantly, the morale of our Ancient Wasteland Camp is taking a hit. The atmosphere in the city is too depressing. Many people are already panicking and have lost their fighting spirit.” Zhao Jingxuan felt a heavy feeling in her chest.

“When you protect a city, it's normal to just defend and take a beating. However, if our fighting spirit collapses, we will soon fall into disarray and the problem can be serious.” Shaohao sighed

“We must change the situation! At least, we have to let everyone in the city see hope and regain their confidence!” Toady said in a resounding voice.

“What should we do?” A’lu rolled up his sleeve, ready to take action.

“They don’t dare to get close, so we will act as bait to lure them over. If there’s danger, we will immediately return to the city. As long as the enemy can’t hold back, they will chase after us and we can activate the power of the Four Killing Arrays to effortlessly eliminate them!” Toady explained.

“Is that not too risky?”

Everyone else was taken aback by the suggestion. It was simply too dangerous. The slightest carelessness could lead to disaster. It was no different from dancing on the tip of a knife.

“What are you afraid of? The one who does not fear the death of thousand cuts will dare to unhorse the emperor!” Toady looked at the others disdainfully, but the next moment he revealed his true colors. “Of course, I can’t be the only one going out to risk my life. We need at least…seventy or eighty people, isn’t that right?”

Everyone couldn’t help but crack a smile.

“I’ll come with you.” Xiao Cangtian was the first to stand forward.

“Count me in, I’ve had enough of passively defending.” Ye Chen also stepped forward.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Jianming, Mi Hengzhen and others also expressed their intention to form a squad and fight to the death with Toady.

Shaohao gritted his teeth and decided, “In that case, it’s settled! But you must remember that your life comes first!”

Everyone nodded.

That night, Toady, A’lu and seven other supreme Saints launched an offensive and caught the eight domains alliance completely off guard.

No one expected the experts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain would dare to fight back given that they were surrounded on all sides. Not only that, they even fought their way out of the city!

The nine supreme Saints worked together to strike a powerful army located in the northwest of the city. Heads flew into the sky and blood spattered the clouds.

If the enemy’s reinforcements hadn’t arrived in time, Toady and the others would have continued to kill until the world was turned upside down.

Although the battle did not weaken the power of the eight domains alliance by much, it did greatly boost the morale of the Ancient Wasteland Camp!

However, Shaohao and others knew that, after this attack, the enemy would definitely be on guard and would not fall for such a surprise attack again.

“Everything depends...on whether or not we can hold on until the Flying Immortal Battle Realm comes to an end...” Shaohao muttered.

……

Flying Immortal Battle Realm.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yingkong put his hands on his back and gazed into the distant mountains with his bright purple eyes. “Today is the day we take Lin Xun’s head!”

Nearby, Kun Shaoyu, Xue Qingyi, Lie Qian and other supreme Saints from the eight domains all showed undisguised murderous intent.

“Brother Zhu, your turn to shine now.” Kun Shaoyu said with a smile.

They had collected one thousand Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits, and now it was time for Zhu Yingkong to show off his abilities in the art of runes.

“That kid used the art of the runes to first defeat the seven domains alliance and then he caused heavy casualties to us at the Black Cliff Sea. Now....it’s time he has a taste of his own medicine.” Shi Pohai laughed.

“Everyone, we have a powerful array, but we must not underestimate that guy’s strength. Don’t be careless.”

Only Xue Qingyi was still harping on the same string, reminding everyone to not get carried away.

Everyone was already used to this, so they no longer mocked Xue Qingyi for being cowardly. Instead, a sense of excitement and thrill filled their hearts at the thought that Lin Xun would be killed today.

“Everyone, look! That kid is sensing something is wrong and is trying to run away!” Zhu Yingkong sneered.

Through the bronze mirror in his hand, he saw Lin Xun’s face turn ashen, and he was darting through the mountains, as if he wanted to leave right away.

“Brother Zhu, don’t let him get away!” Chi Wushu urged.

“Everyone, just watch me.”

Zhu Yingkong grinned and, with a raise of his hand, he was holding a small black flag covered with dao runes and waved it gently.

Immediately, everyone saw that in the image presented by the bronze mirror, a towering mountain broke out from the ground and shot straight into the sky. It was like a wall that connected the sky and the earth, completely blocking Lin Xun’s path!

Boom!

Lin Xun showered blows at the wall, but strangely, despite his terrifying power of the supreme Saint stage, he could not shake the mountain wall at all.

His expression changed, and he turned around and bolted in another direction.

“Rise!”

Zhu Yingkong waved the black flag again.

Rumble!

A river engulfed the world like an insurmountable heavenly river, blocking Lin Xun’s path once again.

He was about to fly away when the turbulent river crashed down on him and sent him staggering backwards, looking extremely perturbed.

In desperation, he changed direction once again, but his face became increasingly overcast.

Chi Wushu and the others smirked as they watched on.

Success!
