The Prodigies War

Chapter 129 Turn the Tides

Lin Xun could immediately tell that Ning Meng was being chased!

A group containing one woman and three men were tens of feet away from Ning Meng. They chased after him relentlessly. They looked fierce and threatening and were clearly bullying Ning Meng due to having a greater number of people.

“Isn’t that guy unafraid of anything? Why is he running away like a terrified wild pig.…”

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips quirked into a strange smile. Ning Meng was always showing off and strutting around. He acted like he was the best in the world but now, he was miserably running for his life. Lin Xun couldn’t help but want to laugh seeing him in such a state.

However, Lin Xun couldn’t laugh. Ning Meng was bolting towards his direction and, with a thud, slammed into the tree where he was hiding.

Idiot!

Lin Xun was so furious that he almost cursed out loud. He had planned to hide in the leaves and launch a surprise attack at the woman and three men, but Ning Meng had ruined his plan.

Lin Xun circulated his aeth power and stuck to the leaves and branches on the treetop like a lizard. He decided to not expose himself right away.

Fortunately, the tremendous tree toppling over made the opponents less likely to notice Lin Xun.

Unless, of course, the tree completely collapsed to the ground.

But Lin Xun didn’t have to wait until then, because just as Ning Meng crashed into the huge tree, the woman and three men were already nearing the tree.

It was then—

Lin Xun’s figure was like a flash of black lightning as he darted out from the tree canopy. The sharp Jade Rippling Blade glistened like water and cold killing intent gleamed!

The group of people was precisely Lei Xinyue and her group of people. They were only focused on catching Ning Meng. How would they expect someone to be lurking in the huge tree?

Their expressions dramatically changed and they instinctively flashed to one side to evade the sudden attack.

However, one of the youngsters was one step too slow. The blade slashed his shoulder, ran down his chest and left a deep, bloody wound across his body. His stomach was almost cut open!

The youngster screamed in agony as he staggered and reeled into the bushes. He didn’t dare to make another move. The slightest movement could cause his body to split apart and his stomach would really be cut open then!

“You want to die!”

After a brief moment of panic, Lei Xinyue and the others began to counterattack. They charged towards Lin Xun with incredible speed, demonstrating their rich battle experience.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xun was trapped where he was. He paled in comparison to them and quickly fell into imminent danger.

Lei Xinyue’s sword was shrouded in terrifying lightning and her every strike was ferocious and violent. Lin Xun was pushed into a dangerous and disadvantageous position.

In addition to Lei Xinyue, the other two youngsters were also very remarkable. One wielded a spear and the other a whip, and they coordinated very well with Lei Xinyue.

“Hahaha, my brother came to help. Bastards, you think you can bully people because you have a greater number of people! Don’t even think about leaving here today!”

While laughing, Ning Meng sped down from the sky like an iron tower.

He held a halberd in his hand and his body was flowing with lightning. He resembled a god of lightning descending upon the world. His vast and mighty aura was at its peak.

With a loud boom, the whip-wielding youngster let out a tragic shriek and his body was blasted across the air like a sandbag.

Ning Meng was clearly furious and resentful about being attacked and chased. Lin Xun’s appearance had turned the situation around, and so, Ning Meng didn’t hesitate to take the chance to strike back. Why would he be polite?

“Die!”

Ning Meng roared as he swung his huge halberd. It whistled across the air like a bolt of lightning piercing through the ninth heaven. Lin Xinyue and the sword-wielding youngster turned ashen-faced and frantically dodged the attack.

Lin Xun’s pressure was immediately reduced. He had to admit that Ning Ming had a terrifying and fierce strength.

At the very least, Lin Xun wasn’t confident that he could do the same thing as Ning Meng.

“Lin Xun, I leave that last kid to you. I’ll deal with that girl. I won’t be able to release my anger if I don’t beat her up today!”

While roaring, Ning Meng charged towards Lei Xinyue.

“Good.”

Lin Xun smiled as locked his lightning-like eyes on the sword-wielding youngster. He clasped the Jade Ripple Blade tight and charged towards the youngster with terrifying killing intent and fighting spirit surging around him.

Lei Xinyue was extremely strong so Lin Xun wasn’t confident that he could take her down in a short period, so it was best to let Ning Meng deal with her.

As for Lei Xinyue’s other two comrades, Ning Meng had already knocked one unconscious with his halberd and the other had his stomach cut open. They both couldn’t fight anymore.

Although the situation seemed to be two against two, it was already a complete change from before.

“Hmph! You only dare to attack because your friend came to save you. Who was it that was fleeing like a wild boar just a while ago?” Lei Xinyue gnashed her teeth. She didn’t forget to ridicule Ning Meng before the battle began.

“Woman! You better not anger me! If we were not in Blood Kill Camp, I would have stabbed you to death with my huge halberd already!” Ning Meng roared.

He was already very ashamed of how he fled, but Lei Xinyue mocked him again. He was so enraged that he was unaware that the ‘huge halberd’ he mentioned could easily cause ambiguity.

Girls always matured earlier than boys. “I’m going to kill you shameless beast!” Lei Xinyue spat out and her almond shaped eyes almost spewed out flames.

The two had both practiced combat arts with lightning attributes, so the battle between them resembled a fierce competition between two gods of lightning. Lightning flashed and danced in the air, and thunder rolled and rumbled. Even their appearance and the noises created were extremely terrifying.

On the other side, Lin Xun was locked in a fierce battle with the sword-wielding youngster.

However, compared to Ye Xiaoqi, the short, chubby teenager, the sword-wielding youngster brought little pressure to Lin Xun.

The 39th Campground had the highest number of students eliminated, but those still remaining were the elites. In contrast, although the 40th Campground had more students remaining, the students weren’t all equal in strength.

For example, although the sword-wielding youngster had a cultivation base of the ninth layer True Martial Stage, his combat skills and battle awareness were much inferior to other students’.

Very quickly into the battle, Lin Xun saw an opportunity to strike. He swiftly performed the stabbing move of the Six Word Blade. The Jade Ripple Blade drew across the air in an arc like quicksilver spilling over the ground and with a psst, a bloody hole was pierced into his opponent’s ribs. His opponent screamed out in agony and rapidly drew back.

The tragic scream made Lei Xinyue, who was in a fierce battle, shudder and her beautiful face abruptly changed. She gritted her teeth, turned around and fled.

“You want to run away? I’m not going to let you!” Ning Meng roared and was about to chase after her when Lin Xun sternly stopped him.

“Enough. What if you run into another ambush, who else would save you like me?”

Ning Meng’s countenance altered, and in the end, he snorted and gave up the chase.

He had always regarded Lin Xun as a friend among the people in the 39th Campground. It was also his relationship with Lin Xun that made all the students who wanted to approach him change their stance and keep a distance from him.

If he were ambushed again, no one would indeed rescue him like Lin Xun had done.

“Damn it, I’ll listen to you this one time!”

As Ning Meng was speaking, his gaze shifted coldly to the sword-wielding youngster. The youngster’s face paled and despair filled his heart.

……

“Good!”

In the 39th temporary campground, the middle-aged fatty couldn’t help but clap his hands in admiration. “Lin Xun’s adaptability is top-class. Even if Ning Meng destroyed his hiding spot, he still managed to grasp the slim opportunity of victory and launched a really effective surprise attack. Impressive!”

Xiaoke’s calm, beautiful face also lit up with a look of rare admiration. Lin Xun’s performance was indeed remarkable. He had gotten rid of the opposing students in one move and reversed the situation.

He also bought some time for Ning Meng to fight back.

“Will the situation change this time?”

Xiaoke shifted her gaze to Shi Yu on the light screen.

……

In the 40th Campground, Savage Wolf couldn’t help but grapple with an unpleasant feeling. He coldly snorted, and his cold and stern face grew sullen.

Lei Xinyue and the others have been defeated!

It was originally a picture of total victory, but a youngster unexpectedly appeared and broke a corner of this picture and created a chance for Ning Meng and the other students to counterattack.

Who is that youngster?

Savage Wolf swept his gaze up and down Lin Xun for a long moment, but he sighed inwardly. He couldn’t recall who Lin Xun was.

If Savage Wolf couldn’t recall who he was then that was his negligence and he couldn’t blame anyone.

Savage Wolf didn’t dwell on this matter for too long and just shifted his gaze to another area in the light screen. It was the battlefield where Gong Ming and Di Jun were chasing after Shi Yu.

If Gong Ming and Di Jun also lost, the situation would indeed be completely reversed and the 40th Campground would fall into a very disadvantageous situation.

……

Unsurprisingly, the sword-wielding youngster suffered a crushing defeat under the joint attacks of Lin Xun and Ning Meng and he voluntarily conceded defeat.

In the end, Lin Xun and Ning Meng acquired five nameplates from the three students of the 40th campground.

Ning Meng took two and gave the other three to Lin Xun.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to travel together. There was only around one hour left till the end of the assessment and so the battles would no doubt be much fiercer than before.

Although Ning Meng was incredibly brave and had always shown an eagerness to fight, he wasn’t stupid. He knew the best way to handle their current situation was to act with Lin Xun.

“How much longer can you fight?” Ning Meng asked, panting.

“I don’t know, it depends on how strong the opponent is,” Lin Xu quickly explained. He had already consumed almost half of his aeth power.

“I can’t hold on much longer. I blame Lei Xinyue. That girl has chased after me for so long and made me run at full speed. I had to consume a lot of stamina for no reason.” Ning Meng cursed out loud. He was still bitter that Lei Xinyue managed to escape.

“Do you want to take a rest?” Lin Xun asked with a frown.

“No.” Ning Meng shook his head.

The two quickly navigated through the jungle as they talked, but suddenly, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and abruptly halted.

“What?”

Ning Meng felt a chill in his heart. But before Lin Xun explained, he understood what was going on.

Not far ahead were four figures racing towards them. They were all students from the 40th Campground.

“You and I each take two, or I get three and you get one?” Ning Meng quickly asked.

Lin Xun sighed, “The situation is more complicated than you think.”

While they were formulating a plan, they heard someone whizzing through the air. Clearly, someone else was also rushing towards them from the other side of the jungle.

Ning Meng’s face grew solemn.

They weren’t afraid of four opponents but it would be troublesome to deal with more!
