The Prodigies War-Chapter 2388 Heavenly Sword Sect, Destroyed
Chapter 2388 Heavenly Sword Sect, Destroyed
Heavenly Sword Sect, the number one sword sect in the Great Luo Ancient Domain, was also called the land where all swords gathered.
For eons, it had been an untouchable overlord and regarded as a pilgrimage site by countless cultivators in this domain.
Green Cliff Sword Mountain was the base of Heavenly Sword Sect.
It was a beautiful and massively magnificent mountain enveloped in divine haze and sunlight all year round, and it was considered the number one blessed land in the Great Luo Ancient Domain.
Today, in an ancient palace halfway up Green Cliff Sword Mountain.
A group of Heavenly Sword Sect's high-ranking officials was holding a meeting.
The one in charge was a black-clad man with gray hair and beard and eyes as sharp as swords. Standing upright with his arms crossed across his chest, he exuded majesty.
He was Hua Yundu, the sect leader, who was also an Emperor expert.
Currently, he was asking with a frown, “Still not finished?”
A short and fat old man in inky black clothes shook his head, “Su Bai has an incomparably tough will. Even our secret art cannot break his willpower quickly, so it’s simply impossible to erase his memories like this.”
“Hmph!” Hua Yundu's eyes were frosty. “As the strongest supreme quasi-Emperor of the Ancient Wasteland Domain who also carries a one-in-a-million-year sword bone at that, he will be a Great Emperor of an unprecedented and supreme sword dao in the future. That strength should be our Heavenly Sword Sect to use, so subdue him no matter what!”
“Yes,” the ink-robed old man nodded. “But I'm afraid that we can’t continue to use the secret art on him...”
“Why not?” asked Hua Yundu.
The ink-robed old man hurriedly said, “After several days under its influence, his mind has been tortured and is close to collapse. If we continue, then his entire cultivation will most likely crumble, leaving us with a piece of waste to subdue in the end.”
Stunned to hear this, Hua Yundu waved his hand, “Fine. I'll give you another ten days.”
Then, he suddenly remembered something, “Has any news come back from the army that went to the Sun Pass?”
The others shook their heads.
One of them quietly said, “Chief, it's only been less than two days. Also, while the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators guarding the Sun Pass aren’t very strong, there are still a few Emperors among them. Taking down the Sun Pass in one go cannot be done in a short time.”
After a pause, he continued, “But heeding our sect's call, the Great Luo Ancient Domain has rallied an elite force from over a thousand major organizations, and nine Emperor experts have been deployed. I believe that the day we trample the Sun Pass is just around the corner.”
This statement lifted the crowd's spirits.
Thanks to the revival of aeth qi concentrations, the Ancient Wasteland Domain was showing signs of welcoming a great era. If any force of the Great Luo Ancient Domain could invade and occupy it, then it would be no less than an opportunity to enhance their strength in all aspects!
Hua Yundu lamented, “As expected of the origin place of all Heavenly Dao. Even though the Ancient Wasteland Domain has been in disrepair for countless years, the power it shines with once it awakens is still beyond what us eight domains can ever compare with.
“Luckily, though, the eight domains are striking together this time. As strong as the defense of the Great Emperor Pass is, it will surely be trodden through, and at that time...”
Just as he said this, an indifferent voice suddenly rang outside the great hall, “I don’t think you can wait until then.”
That casual sentence caused Hua Yundu and a host of other Heavenly Sword Sect bigwigs to pale. They rushed out of the hall together.
There, under the distant sky, a handsome figure had appeared at some point. He was dressed in black and looked refined like an immortal.
“Who are you?” Hua Yundu's eyes were like electricity as he sternly scanned Lin Xun.
The rest of his group were making different expressions, as if caught off guard by the fact that someone in the Great Luo Ancient Domain would dare to come to their door and provoke them.
Lin Xun gave no response. He only swept them a glance before casually waving his hand.
Buzz!
A thousand feet of sword qi unrolled across the sky like a bolt of silk. As it did, it released a blazing and piercing light that illuminated the whole region, taking away colors from the terrains.
Then, it chopped down.
The entire Green Cliff Sword Mountain was covered in sixty-four protective arrays that had been continually improved over countless years. They were strong enough to resist the all-out strike of an Emperor expert.
Therefore, when Hua Yundu’s group saw the attack, they were dumbfounded before revealing expressions that told how absurd and ridiculous they felt about it.
Is this fellow crazy?
Our sect is the number one sword sect in the Great Luo Ancient Domain. Who on earth ever has ever dared to come and offend us like this?
He either overestimates himself too much or he just has a death wish!
However...
When the sword strike fell, the protection that they thought to be unbreakable acted like a piece of paper and was torn apart.
Rumble!
The earth shook in clouds of dust.
The grand formation of sixty-four protective arrays had sustained a huge crack from the center.
Losing its cover, Green Cliff Sword Mountain was cleaved. The lofty and majestic mountain tilted and then crumbled like a landslide.
That single sword strike had broken apart the mountain!
Standing at the halfway point of Green Cliff Sword Mountain, Hua Yundu’s group subconsciously dodged. Although they managed to avoid the horrifying sword qi, their faces were extremely unsightly and their eyes were filled with shock.
A single chop had just destroyed their sect’s strongest defense and nearly demolished their base!
How could they not understand now that the other party was not arrogant, but instead that he had absolute confidence and power?
Screams of panic rose from every area of Green Cliff Sword Mountain. The disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect that had inhabited it were all escaping in horror. The scene was chaotic.
Meanwhile, Lin Xun announced calmly, “From today, Heavenly Sword Sect will be erased from the world. Your choice is to either obediently surrender, or...die. I’ll give you ten breaths of time to consider it.”
His voice spread like a hurricane, sweeping through the sky and earth and causing countless faces to sink.
“You seek death!” A burly middle-aged man, clearly a Great Emperor, stormed out. As his hand made a grabbing motion, a torrent of sword qi that looked like it was made of molten fire flooded toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun waved his sleeve.
Dao light rumbled and rolled up a sea of blinding white sword qi. They blotted out the sky, not leaving one speck of blue to be seen!
Kaboom!
Amidst the earth-shattering collision, the burly middle-aged man let out an unwilling roar as the white sword qi swept through and reduced him to a rain of ashes.
“Talk about overestimating yourself,” uttered Lin Xun lightly.
The entire field was silent.
Hua Yundu’s group felt their hands and feet run cold as shock and rage filled their hearts.
Even if they tore their hair out, they could never have remembered when such a terrifying menace had appeared in the Great Luo Ancient Domain.
He could kill an Emperor with a wave of his sleeve!
This gave them all a big fright.
Hua Yundu coldly asked, “Who exactly are you? When has our Heavenly Sword Sect ever messed with you that you’d destroy our mountain and kill our people like this?”
“You don't even know me and yet you dare to capture my disciple... Some big guts your Heavenly Sword Sect has...” Lin Xun sneered. “Five breaths of time has passed.”
The expressions of Hua Yundu’s group drastically changed.
As for the disciples up and down Green Cliff Sword Mountain, they had long been scared out of their wits and were currently heading out the mountain as they ran in fear.
“Stop! All of you stop!” roared a high-ranking personnel sternly.
However, this was destined to be useless. When a building was about to collapse, who in it wouldn’t run for their lives?
“Attack together, kill him!” Several old monsters shrieked, their eyes glowing red as they charged out together. As if fighting for their lives, each of them was using their trump cards.
“But a dying struggle.” Lin Xun grabbed in the void, and a brilliant sword qi emerged and slashed out.
RUMBLE!
In an earth-shattering explosion, the group of old monsters were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Their physical shells and primordial spirits dissipated like bubbles.
Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect who saw this was so scared that their souls flew off. Any bits of spirit left in them collapsed, and they frantically fled.
Hua Yundu’s group was utterly shaken, their eyes filled with confusion.
For eons, Heavenly Sword Sect had been an untouchable juggernaut who towered over the Great Luo Ancient Domain.
In the hearts of all the people, it was like a supreme god that lived forever.
Today, however... A single person had broken apart its mountain with a sword strike, killed Emperors with a wave his sleeve, and shaken the sect’s entire foundation!
This was simply beyond terrifying!
He had taken Hua Yundu’s group completely by surprise, and even now, they still had no idea who on earth he was...
It had happened all too fast!
“We...surrender...” Hua Yundu felt a bitter taste in his mouth, his eyes bleak. ”I only ask that you have mercy and spare the innocent...”
The others felt a sadness rising from the deepest part of their hearts.
In just a few moments, they had basically fallen from the sky into the mundane world. The stark contrast in the situation and the fear were breaking them down.
“Ten breaths of time have passed. It is...too late to surrender now.”
When these words came out of Lin Xun’s mouth, they were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Hua Yundu and the rest of Heavenly Sword Sect's seniors all revealed looks of madness.
“I’ll risk my life with you!”
“Kill him!”
They shrieked as they rushed out, their eyes blood-red like savage outlaws driven to a frenzied madness.
However, they were like moths rushing into a flame.
Lin Xun walked in the sky, his clothes fluttering. As he moved forward, the world rattled, the mountains and rivers tumbled down, and all kinds of great dao essences transformed into unparalleled sword qi that whistled out.
Poof poof poof!
One after another, the senior figures of Heavenly Sword Sect fell, their blood staining the void. The air of death kept spreading, plunging heaven and earth into what seemed to be hell.
When Lin Xun arrived at the long-collapsed Green Cliff Sword Mountain, the executives of Heavenly Sword Sect, including Hua Yundu, had all perished on the spot!
His offense had been crushing and unstoppable!
In the surrounding areas, many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were still fleeing in panic like terrified puppies.
Lin Xun paid those minor characters no attention.
He went straight to the back of the mountain.
In a dark and cold underground prison, he found Su Bai.
The latter was drenched in blood, and his appearance was a mess. He was sitting there, withered and silent like a log with countless sword marks on his skin. His blood seemed to have run dry.
In this sunless prison, he had suffered untold torture and torment. His body emitted not a wisp of vitality fluctuation, simply no different from a dead person.
Lin Xun walked over.
Back then, he had accepted Su Bai as a nominal disciple because the latter was a resolute character and carried a sword bone, which was the same talent Yun Qingbai had.
As for his interest in him as a person, there wasn’t much to talk about.
However, seeing the miserable state he was in, Lin Xun could not help but frown.
