The Prodigies War
Chapter 1606: Unmatched Elegance

A hint of frustration drifted out from her voice.

She stood on the city wall. Shrouded in eternal night, her slender figure that seemed detached from the world garnered countless gazes.

But she ignored them all.

Because the person she was looking for wasn’t here.

Just like what she had once said to him back then—

“My world is very small, and it can only accommodate you alone.”

Meanwhile, the expressions of the foreign supreme Saints were flickering, and they were unable to keep composure.

He? Who is he?

But no matter who he was, it was certain that this mysterious and terrifying woman had come here to find someone, not to rescue the Ancient Wasteland Camp!

As for Toady, Zhao Jingxuan, and the rest of the group, they all sighed inwardly.

Years had passed, and she was still the same as before, never changing and only ever caring about one person. No other being or anything that happened in the world could draw a single ounce of attention from her.

“Miss, I wonder who you are looking for? There is no one in the Ancient Wasteland Domain that I don’t recognize,” said Shaohao in a friendly voice.

Previously, the situation had been perilous. The City of Protection had been close to crumbling under fire, so everyone had decided to lay down their lives and die in battle.

But everything had changed with the arrival of this mysterious woman!

The Nine Layer Restrictive Saint Array encasing the three thousand miles of land around the city had been easily torn apart by her.

That huge army of the eight domains had been unable to hinder her pace as she left behind a bloody path with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even the supreme Saint who tried had been crushed to death under her finger without having been able to muster a bit of strength to struggle!

Without a doubt, this sounded unbelievable.

It was also because of this that the huge battlefield was plunged into a stalemate, and the atmosphere was strangely silent.

Unintentionally, it gave the Ancient Wasteland Camp a chance to catch their breath!

Shaohao’s words also piqued the curiosity of those like Ruowu, Xiao Cangtian, and Ye Chen… Who was she looking for, coming here alone?

But having sunk into the silence of her own darkness, the woman seemed to be oblivious to the outside world and never paid anyone attention.

After a while, she slightly raised her head and looked up at the horizon as if searching for something.

In the end, she turned around and walked away.

It seemed that, without finding that one person, no one in this city and nothing in this world was relevant anymore to her.

Shaohao’s group tensed up.

On the other hand, the experts of the eight domains’ army were reinvigorated. This incredibly powerful woman really isn’t here to rescue the Ancient Wasteland Camp.

“Make way, make way for this young miss!” shouted the golden-robed man.

Anyone could see how frightening she was – simply an invincible existence in this battlefield.

Helping her leave as quickly as possible would undoubtedly be the best outcome!

At this sudden turn of events, the faces of the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators changed again.

Even Zhao Jingxuan couldn’t sit still. “Xia Zhi, I know you’re looking for Lin Xun, but he’s not here right now.”

Lin Xun!

Those mere two words seemed to cast a spell on the woman. She, who was already leaving, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

And this simple action caused the hearts of all the foreign experts to tighten, and their faces to twist.

This woman is here to find Lin Xun?

Who in the Nine Domains Battlefield nowadays didn’t know of this name?

None of them had expected such a terrifying woman would be related to him!

This was because no one had even seen, known, or heard of her existence in the last two years. It was as if she had appeared out of thin air.

Meanwhile, Shaohao’s group finally understood. She’s actually here for Lin Xun!

For a while, their hearts tumbled. They had never known that there was such an existence on Lin Xun’s side who was powerful to the point that it was unbelievable.

“I know.” Xia Zhi did not turn around.

She had come here after capturing everything about Lin Xun’s aura, but unfortunately, it was only his aura.

He wasn’t here physically.

Therefore, she planned to leave.

Zhao Jingxuan took a deep breath and solemnly said, “But what you don’t know is that this city was built from Lin Xun’s painstaking effort, and many of his friends are here. If this city falls, how do you think he will feel when he returns?

“Also, look at all those people outside. They are foreign enemies from the other eight domains. They may be trivial in your eyes, but in the past two years, they have tried to kill Lin Xun more than once and treated him as their number one enemy.”

Since only Xia Zhi could salvage the situation at hand, Zhao Jingxuan had to use every means to retain her.

She knew Xia Zhi too well. This young girl with mysterious origins never cared about anything except Lin Xun!

Xia Zhi was silent.

The foreign cultivators, on the contrary, were shifting between expressions and cried out in their hearts that things were going to be bad!

“Xia Zhi, look!” Suddenly, Toady stepped out and pointed at Zhao Jingxuan. “She’s Big Brother’s woman. If she dies, he will definitely be heartbroken. You can call me despicable for using this method to make you stay, and I’ll take it. But…”

Saying all this, Toady’s eyes were red. “But in these two years, Big Brother has gone through fire and water and paid so much just for the hope of winning once. If we go down like this…it would be too much of a pity!”

The Ancient Wasteland Domain crowd clenched their fists.

That was right. If the city was invaded, then it was over for the Ancient Wasteland Camp…

Zhao Jingxuan sighed in her heart, but she knew that Toady was doing this in order to keep Xia Zhi, and she didn’t mind at all. She was only worried that…

Sure enough, Xia Zhi turned around and looked at Zhao Jingxuan. Under her clear and calm gaze, Zhao Jingxuan felt a little uncomfortable.

A long time later, Xia Zhi looked away. With an ever emotionless voice, she said, “Without my consent, none of that counts.”

Hearing this, everyone looked on strangely.

Zhao Jingxuan wasn’t upset by this. On the contrary, she felt that this was the way it was supposed to go. This was the Xia Zhi that she knew.

“Miss, if you need to leave, then please leave immediately,” said the golden-robed man in a heavy tone as he felt increasingly unsettled by the minute.

In the same breath, he transmitted to the other supreme Saints, “Get ready to go all out at any second should this girl choose to stay. At the same time, tell our people to attack the city at full strength. Their protective array has already been broken. As long as our army rushes in, this battle will be decided!”

The gazes of the foreign supreme Saints flickered as they agreed.

Right at this moment, Xia Zhi turned around. A white-bone spear had quietly appeared in her hand at some point, draped in a wisp of starlight.

The expressions of the golden-robed man’s group suddenly changed.

The countless foreign soldiers around the huge battlefield also stiffened.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingxuan, Toady, A’lu, Shaohao, and the rest of the group were relieved and revealed looks of gratitude.

“I just don’t want to disappoint him.” The young woman stood tall in the air with the bone spear in her grip. The glow of eternal night drifted around her. Although she was all alone, she exuded the aura of a sovereign overlooking the world.

As soon as her words echoed, she leapt up high into the void.

Under the benighted day, an invisible killing intent rolled out from her and filled the ten directions.

For a time, a horrifyingly bloody phenomenon surfaced in the sky. Countless corpses piled up in mountains, and blood was spreading in a purgatory under her feet!

The golden-robed man’s face sank, and he ordered without hesitation, “Attack!”

The dozens of supreme Saints who had been accumulating momentum instantly locked their auras on Xia Zhi and struck out.

The world rumbled, and the stars lost their glow.

Splendid Saints, raging skills, and terrifying Saint Dao Law powers were interwoven together and cut across the sky toward Xia Zhi alone.

The expressions of Shaohao’s group immediately changed. But when they were about to act, they saw an unimaginable scene—

Xia Zhi raised the bone spear, and this seemingly inconspicuous action started sucking in all the darkness in this heaven and earth.

She then walked forward with every step closely followed by the eternal darkness. The rain of attacks burst like bubbles and dissipated into nothingness before they could even near her.

Clang!

Xia Zhi suddenly flickered before appearing in a flash out of thin air. Her bone spear emitted a whiff of a cold, shallow chant that struck straight at one’s heart like the murmur of death.

A foreign supreme Saint was directly skewered. The body instantly disintegrated in the everlasting darkness and went up in smoke.

“What…”

“How terrifying!”

The golden-robed man and his group felt their scalps turn numb. Their eyes wanted to pop out of their sockets.

Earlier, Xia Zhi had traveled alone from an extremely far distance, setting off blood and death along the whole way without using a weapon. This was already horrifying enough to split their guts.

And now, when she attacked with the bone spear, the foreign supreme Saints finally realized that they had far underestimated the horror of this mysterious woman!

Pfff!

Another supreme Saint was pierced through, spilling blood in the air.

It was then that Xia Zhi strode through the air like the lord of the night and launched a killing spree. From her, there was no nonsense, no hesitation, only a terrifying calmness.

That long, white spear enveloped in cold starlight whistled through the darkness, unstoppable. Wherever its sharp tip pointed, a supreme Saint would be put to death!

In the blink of an eye, five supreme Saints had died tragically, each only taking a single strike. Once targeted, they were unable to dodge, nor could they resist.

Their allied army in the distance felt like they had fallen into an ice cave. They were chilled to the bone, and their souls wanted to fly out of their bodies.

Watching from the city wall, Shaohao, Zhao Jingxuan, and everyone else were gasping in shock, almost unable to believe their eyes.

In their perception, Lin Xun’s battle prowess was already heaven-defying and couldn’t be measured by common sense, but Xia Zhi was even more freakish and terrifying than him.

Her movements were simple and straight to the point, yet she was invincible, killing supreme Saints like she was tearing paper. Her momentum was completely crushing!

From beginning to end, she did not encounter a single rival!

“Someone come and stop her!” The golden-robed man’s eyes were bloodshot.

Xia Zhi’s power frightened him. He had to resort to mobilizing all the scattered supreme Saints in the battlefield to attack together.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Realizing that the situation had gone bad, the foreign supreme Saints attacking the city in different areas quickly gathered.

The void above the City of Protection’s front side where Xia Zhi stood instantly became the eye of the storm!
