The Prodigies War

Chapter 1769: The Lively Li Xuanwei

Almost as soon as Li Xuanwei finished complaining, three figures appeared in the distant void.

One of them was a sage-like old man with white hair but a youthful face. Beneath his feet was an auspicious cloud, above his head was a dao diagram, and around him was an obscure glow that stretched upward a million feet.

The second one was a beautiful woman who was clad in a red robe like fire and had skin as white as snow. There were flames dancing in her eyes and lightning snakes circling her delicate figure.

The last one was black-clothed, white-haired man with nine dao swords behind him. The shadows of the swords flickered as they displayed the vision of everything falling into destruction.

All three were Emperor experts!

“This fortune shall not be taken away by anyone, no matter who it is,” said the old man smilingly, “Even if it’s a disciple of Fangchun Mountain.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it resounded through all directions, causing the void to crack and explode.

“Wrong. Fangchun Mountain collapsed long ago during the Dao War of Emperors. That ‘crescent moon three stars’ monument was also destroyed. There has long been no more Fangchun Mountain in this world, all that’s left is a group of wandering souls from Fangchun Mountain,” commented the red-robed woman coldly.

“So to speak, all we need to do now is cut down some ghosts?” The black-clad, white-haired man wore an amused expression.

His response, however, was Li Xuanwei counting with his fingers while saying with a smile, “The first clown that jumped at us was Demon Emperor Hollowslayer, who then got his ass kicked good by my senior brother with this horsetail whisk. He ultimately escaped with serious injuries like a frightened dog.

“The second one, Yu Xuzi, was a sensible one. He immediately drew back after I blocked his sword strike.

“The third one, Buddha Kunjiu, was a little bit miserable. After I shattered his Brahma Golden Body with a slap, his primordial spirit fled with his tail between his legs.”

As he finished counting, Li Xuanwei swept his gaze at the three people in the distance, his smile becoming more and more unrestrained. “Now, I would like to ask, which outcome do you three want for yourselves?”

Hearing this, the faces of the three old monsters who could make the Ancient Nebula Road tremble with a stomp of their feet became gloomy.

Li Xuanwei didn’t stop there. “So what if I’m just a ghost? If the original self, the real Li Xuanwei, was here, would you…even have the guts to show yourselves in front of me?”

His voice was overbearing and full of disdain.

The expressions of the three old monsters who had lived for who knew how long became even more unsightly.

Of course they knew of Li Xuanwei, the thirteenth disciple of Fangchun Mountain.

But on the Ancient Nebula Road, he had an even more famous Dharma name—

Sword Emperor Qingxiao!

He was a proud figure who had been an Emperor for countless years on the path of the sword, and he was a legendary giant who had been honored by many Emperor experts with the phrase: “On the path of Emperor sword dao, only Xuanwei can be called immeasurable!”

If Li Xuanwei’s original self was here, then their honest answer would be that they wouldn’t have the courage to confront him so openly.

But that was the point; the Li Xuanwei here was only a wisp of will power.

Moreover, his energy had been severely depleted!

“Li Xuanwei, your original self has disappeared from the Ancient Nebula Road after the Dao War of Emperors and has never been seen again since. Many old fellows have speculated that you already perished in a calamity,” scoffed the old man riding an auspicious cloud.

“Even if you’re still alive, it makes no difference. There is no room on the Ancient Nebula Road for the dregs of Fangchun Mountain!” sneered the red-robed woman.

Lin Xun’s heart tumbled when he heard this.

After the Dao War of Emperors, Fangchun Mountain collapsed and its lineage was destroyed?

It was also after that war that the Ancient Nebula Road could no longer tolerate the surviving members of Fangchun Mountain?

What exactly happened to Fangchun Mountain during the Dao War of Emperors?

Right at this moment, Li Xuanwei laughed out loud, “Junior Brother, do you know why they are spouting so much nonsense?”

Without waiting for an answer, he continued, stressing each word, “Because they are also anxious and afraid. Even though I am just a wisp of will power, they…still don’t dare to clash with me so easily!”

Hearing the clear mockery in his loud voice, the three Emperors’ faces became as dark as rain clouds!

Lin Xun chimed in laughing, “You’re right, Senior Brother. I thought these Emperors were formidable, but it turns out that they are just a bunch of cowards trying to act tough.”

Li Xuanwei’s laugh grew more and more joyous as he patted Lin Xun’s shoulder. “So don’t you take their bullshit to heart. While it’s true that our Fangchun Mountain has fallen into disrepair, there’s actually something else going on.

“Of course, I can tell you that our enemies are not these losers. Our lineage will never be defeated by trash like them!”

The three old monsters’ faces darkened until they were pitch-black as Li Xuanwei’s foul insults kept going.

Lin Xun, on the contrary, felt indescribably refreshed!

At the same time, Li Xuanwei’s voice rang in his ears, “Junior Brother, I’ll send you away shortly. Remember, if you head to the Ancient Nebula Road in the future, do not disclose your identity as a Fangchun disciple until you become an Emperor.”

As soon as Li Xuanwei’s transmission ended, Lin Xun felt a tap on his shoulder. He lifted his head to see his senior brother looking at him with a smile.

Lin Xun’s heart trembled.

But before he could say anything, he was suddenly wrapped by a powerful force and pulled far, far away from the scene.

“Li Xuanwei, you dareee!”

“Attack!”

Shocked and furious bellows stirred the area.

No matter how hard Lin Xun tried, he could no longer see any of what was happening back there. His vision was filled with the distortion of space shifting.

It was as if he was a leaf going with the flow of space and time.

“Junior Brother, you must remember: this old fogey is Battle Emperor Yinxuan, this woman with a vicious tongue is Thunder Emperor Red Flame, and the white-haired juvenile is Sword Emperor Nine Truths. Each and every one of them is a renowned…piece of trash on the Ancient Nebula Road!”

In a trance, Lin Xun’s mind was echoed with Li Xuanwei’s valorous laughter.

“If you meet my original self one day, tell him the names of these pieces of trash. If I don’t trample through their gates and kill all their disciples, I won’t be Li Xuanwei!”

As Lin Xun listened, his heart boiled with bravado, and he was both excited and worried.

He was inspired by Li Xuanwei’s dashing liveliness, his fearlessness, and the ability to laugh in the face of everything.

But he was worried because from Li Xuanwei’s words, it was clear that the wisp of his will power would most likely dissipate back there!

“Junior Brother, take them!” Li Xuanwei’s voice suddenly exploded in Lin Xun’s mind. Immediately following, the Three Thousand Vicissitudes and the Dao Endless Pagoda appeared in front of him.

From this point onward, Li Xuanwei’s voice did not sound again.

In the time that followed, there was only silence as strange scenes constantly shifted in Lin Xun’s vision…

His heart was filled with an intense sense of loss and indescribable anger.

Just because of an inherited ‘crescent moon three stars’ diagram, he had been targeted by so many old monsters who regarded him as a fish on their chopping board. It simply felt suffocating.

And the annihilation of Ge Yupu’s and Li Xuanwei’s will power filled him with utter pain and hatred!

“Senior Brother, I will remember not only those three, but also Demon Emperor Hollowslayer, Yu Xuzi, and Buddha Kunjiu. None of them are going to escape!” Lin Xun clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

He knew very well that if it wasn’t for the two senior brothers who had sacrificed themselves to help, he wouldn’t have been able to leave the Kunlun Dominion alive with this fortune!

What made Lin Xun bitter was that he actually still had a trump card up his sleeve, which he had prepared to use to aid Li Xuanwei at the critical moment.

Who would have thought that Li Xuanwei would send him away so suddenly that he hadn’t been able to react at all.

Boom!

After an unknown time, there was suddenly an explosion that hit Lin Xun dizzy. He started falling uncontrollably like a meteorite.

In the end, he smashed on the hard ground with a bang, creating a huge crater and filling the air with dust.

Swish!

Lin Xun leaped out of the crater right away, completely unharmed except for being in a bit of a mess.

His gaze was like electricity as he scanned the surroundings while staying fully alert.

A moment later, he was dumbfounded. What the hell is this place?
