Chapter 1087: Breaking the Seal

Chapter 1087: Breaking the Seal

Lin Nuo realized he was in big trouble once more. He barely survived from that giant demon wolf, and now he found himself confronted by this mysterious sealing demon master, who intended to use him as a sacrifice.

How did a simple trip to the mountains for herbs turn into this?

Am I destined to die young?

By the way, lady, where’s that other personality of yours? Hurry up and show yourself, or my life will be over!

However, Su Kexin did not manifest her cold persona, which only increased Lin Nuo’s anxiety.

He was currently floating in the air, completely out of control, as if he were in outer space.

Now, trapped with Su Kexin, they were at the mercy of the demon master, being lifted to the altar’s sides for the ritual, to execute his grand plan of unsealing.

“Young, young master…”

Su Kexin was terrified, feeling like she was about to become fish food, completely unable to fight back, now only hoping for Lin Nuo to come and save her.

What options did Lin Nuo have? He was waiting for her to take action.

“This is quite a nice sacrifice, very good, hahahaha!”

The demon master was thrilled, sensing that Lin Nuo made an excellent offering and activated his formation.

Su Kexin was set aside for later use, as it was time to utilize Lin Nuo to complete the ritual’s prelude.

Lin Nuo was transferred to a small circle formation, as dark purple demonic light flared, and he felt a wave of excruciating pain flooding through his body, like his heart was being ripped apart.

Lin Nuo’s eyes turned red; he had never experienced such pain in his whole life.

Watching him, Su Kexin panicked even more. What if even the young master couldn’t endure this?

Were they really going to die here!?

“Young master, young master! Are you okay!”

Su Kexin cried out anxiously, but Lin Nuo couldn’t respond, still enduring that heart-wrenching agony.

“Good, good!”

The demon master was ecstatic as he continued his incantation; fierce figures appeared on the altar—demon warriors clad in tough armor and demon beasts that glimmered like phantoms.

This was the so-called sealed demon army, and more and more of them revealed themselves, forming a terrifying battalion.

“You human, your vitality is quite resilient. Perfect, keep holding on; you can’t die just yet.”

The demon master hoped Lin Nuo could endure until the very end of the ritual, allowing the entire demon army to be summoned.

Once summoned, they would leverage Su Kexin’s powers to break the sealing prison entirely, allowing them to walk free and seek revenge on those who once sealed them.

“Ah, very good, very good. If we can escape, I will give you a lavish burial, young human.”

The demon master Zhe laughed, the ceremony successful; all the demon army personnel had been summoned, while Lin Nuo lay on the verge of death.

“Surprisingly, you’re still alive; your vitality is beyond impressive. If you’re not dead, you might be useful later.”

The demon master ceased his actions, and Lin Nuo, floating in the air, plummeted to the ground, blood streaming from his mouth.

He had a flicker of life left, but it wouldn’t last long; his meridians had suffered severe damage.

Collapsed on the ground, exhausted, he was too weak to move, ready to close his eyes and await death.

But deep inside, he felt unwilling; his path had just begun—how could it end here, especially near his hometown, Ru Yu Village?

If those monsters truly broke free, Ru Yu Village would be the first to suffer. His mother and Ruo’er would be in danger.

He felt powerless, destined to protect them, yet he could do nothing at all.

All he had was an overwhelming sense of guilt.

The demon master, ignoring Lin Nuo, set his sights on Su Kexin.

They had already made significant progress; the next step was to break free.

But he was cautious, knowing the wolf king Nos had violently died, making him wary of this girl.

She had powerful explosive capabilities that could help them fully unbind the seal. However, just how powerful that explosion was remained unknown, so once the seal was broken, he needed to retreat quickly instead of engaging her.

Perhaps letting his subordinates battle her first while he slipped away would work.

Alright, almost there.

As he watched the purple demonic light flicker around Su Kexin, her fear intensified.

“Young master, are you okay? Young master, wake up, young master!”

No matter how loudly Su Kexin shouted, Lin Nuo couldn’t get up; the pain kept reaching her.

Suddenly, a wave of intense pain surged through her whole body. It was unbearable, causing her to scream, but no one could save her.

“Alright, that should do it.”

The demon master sensed Su Kexin’s powers rapidly climbing, reaching the level he needed to break through.

“Good, completely break the seal.”

He raised his staff, shaking the entire space. Beams of bright sunlight pierced the dark valley, connecting them to the outside world.

“Good, keep going, we’re almost out!”

The demon master escalated his incantation. At that moment, Su Kexin’s powers exploded; her hair floated wildly, her eyes icy and devoid of spirit, revealing her full explosive state.

As such, the sealing space was on the brink of collapse, and their ethereal bodies began to become solid.

“Hahaha! We’re going to succeed! We can finally get out!”

The demon master rejoiced; they were just a step away from completely breaking free of their seal.

However, his demon beasts, starved of human flesh, developed murderous intent, charging directly at Su Kexin.

With a swift strike, Su Kexin’s sword fell, causing the massive demon beast to crash to the ground with a pained roar.

“Don’t provoke her,” the demon master pointed at Lin Nuo, not expecting the beasts to be so rash.

The demon beasts, now gritting their teeth, shifted their target to Lin Nuo.

That human was too weak to resist and was lying there waiting to die.

Let’s eat him!

Thus, they charged toward Lin Nuo. Seeing them approach, Lin Nuo was helpless to act.

Fine then, just let it be, let me die.

But…

At the moment he closed his eyes, preparing to meet his end, the magic energy from the defeated beasts flowed swiftly into Lin Nuo.

Then, he opened his eyes, now blood-red, as if wild power surged through his body.

He dodged—he successfully evaded the beast’s attack!

“Hmm? This kid…”

The demon master was surprised; this human absorbed the magic energy from the wounded beasts? And he could still move?

Looks like he’s not simple after all.

Why not let him handle the woman’s attacks instead?

Yet while he contemplated this, Lin Nuo landed a punch on the demon beast’s body.
