Chapter 649: Black-Clothed Man

Chapter 649: Black-Clothed Man

Lin Nuo had grown accustomed to the characteristics of these two cheat characters and was determined to make full use of them.

Luo Yi was the best human shield; breaking a Spirit Net was completely child’s play for her.

After shattering the Spirit Net, Luo Yi remained unscathed, while the practitioners attempting to restore the net found themselves intimidated by Luo Xiaoxue’s Great威天龙, unable to cast spells anymore. Some retreated while others even stumbled backward.

Excellent, a success.

Lin Nuo glanced over and saw that Luo Yi was an outstanding escape tool, breaking through with pinpoint precision.

“Retreat!”

He quickly took Su family’s elders and soared away; with the Spirit Net gone, he wasn’t worried about them anymore.

One individual carrying two was something he had never done before, but now he felt quite composed, not at all flustered.

“Fly!”

The Phoenix Sword soared into the air, heading straight upwards.

However, how could the Dongwei People allow them to leave so easily? If they relied on their subordinates, that wouldn’t do; they had to take matters into their own hands.

As Lin Nuo and the others were soaring on their swords, they hadn’t yet gained enough altitude when the Dongwei People could fully intercept them.

Charging up, they leapt.

Their legs had tremendous explosive power, and in an instant, they could jump to the height at which Lin Nuo’s group was soaring.

“Damn it.”

If it weren’t for carrying two women, he could take on a few of them himself.

Now faced with trouble, he couldn’t fly too fast with them; they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“You two, hurry up! Luo Yi, hold the front! Su Kexin, focus on guiding the sword, don’t attack!”

“Okay!”

Su Kexin immediately flew over with Luo Xiaoxue, with Luo Xiaoxue becoming the main force against the Dongwei People, engaging them in battle.

Though it was called a battle, she essentially served as a shield. Luo Xiaoxue’s swordsmanship had improved, but in front of the Dongwei officials, it was hardly worth mentioning.

“Just in time; I’ll take you down now.”

One of the Dongwei officials attacked Luo Xiaoxue, who bore a heavy responsibility. She raised her sword to block the blow.

But the power difference was vast; after just two exchanges, Luo Xiaoxue couldn’t endure anymore and was hit head-on by the Dongwei official.

This hit could take a life, and Luo Xiaoxue had no spiritual protection on her body; even if she had the power to reverse the situation, she wouldn’t be able to recover and would undoubtedly perish on the spot!

However, suddenly a golden light flickered, and a strong force surged out, sending the soaring Dongwei official tumbling back down to the ground.

“What…”

The astonishing power was completely unexpected; even the Dongwei experts were rendered helpless.

Princess Luo Xiaoxue’s miraculous force had been heard of among the Dongwei ranks, but many Dongwei people disbelieved it, thinking it was merely a body protection technique or something like that, of no consequence.

Therefore, Dongwei members often risked themselves to kill Luo Xiaoxue, only to find themselves dumbfounded beneath the golden light, crushed by the power of the Great威天龙.

The Great威天龙 specialized in teaching a lesson, each hit was precise.

The downside was that it was entirely a passive skill, just like Asu and Ling Meng’s techniques—purely passive.

Yet Asu and Ling Meng had also made breakthroughs, finding ways to trigger some active bursts; last time’s Dragon Shadow and Phoenix Shadow were indicators that they had ramped up significantly.

Terrifying.

Lin Nuo deliberately distanced himself from Luo Xiaoxue to avoid being accidentally harmed by her Great威天龙.

He had long discovered a magical phenomenon: when a cheat character stood alongside Su Kexin, the Great威天龙 wouldn’t knock Su Kexin away, and the two would stand well together.

Otherwise, if the Great威天龙 accidentally harmed Su Kexin, activating her physique for a massive outburst, that’d be a wasted effort.

Lin Nuo was now running with the Su family elders. His sword control was incredibly steady, and a spiritual barrier had even formed around the Phoenix Sword—should the two elders fall, they would still be caught.

When did he learn this trick?

Self-taught; what a genius.

Run.

Taking advantage of Luo Yi’s Great威天龙 blocking the few Dongwei officials, Lin Nuo seized the chance to flee, but the Dongwei weren’t just focused on one task anymore; upon seeing Lin Nuo trying to escape, they hurried to chase after him.

Thousands of flying arrows rained down from the sky, and Lin Nuo waved his right hand, conjuring a new protective layer outside the spirit barrier of the Phoenix Sword to block the storm of arrows.

The Phoenix Sword amplified the protective barrier, greatly enhancing its defense.

Phoenix Twin Swords, enhancing one side while the other side also improved. Lin Nuo thought back to how he hadn’t practiced it himself but could still yield enormous effects just from Su Kexin’s solo training; he truly was just riding on the coattails of experience.

Good, riding that experience well.

But arrows were merely child’s play; the troublesome ones were still the Dongwei people, who jumped forth with astounding force, swiftly closing in on Lin Nuo.

Two Dongwei individuals unleashed a powerful wave, shattering Lin Nuo’s spirit barrier in an instant.

Lin Nuo, reacting decisively, summoned his other sword, which instantly transformed into multiple sword shadows, rushing into the fray and engaging the Dongwei men in combat.

The Dongwei, being seasoned experts, managed to easily break through Lin Nuo’s multiple sword shadows, quickly redirecting their focus onto him.

Carrying two women while engaging in aerial combat against the Dongwei was indeed somewhat overwhelming.

He truly wanted to drop them and deal with these two himself.

The Phoenix Sword soared through the air, and to protect Su family’s women, Lin Nuo threw out all sorts of items, barely managing to shield them.

But that was only a temporary solution; escaping with them was still quite difficult.

Su Kexin’s side was also held up, unable to come to his aid; Lin Nuo had to rely solely on his abilities to save them.

Feeling disadvantaged in aerial combat, they should descend and break through from the ground.

Faced with the fleet-footed Dongwei, Lin Nuo still found it hard to break free. Just as he prepared to drop down, the Dongwei unleashed a fierce attack, summoning multiple strikes of lightning from the sky with incredible speed.

That was not easy to dodge; with the lightning being quick and plentiful, the chance of being struck was exceedingly high.

Could he hold on to the spirit shield barrier? He couldn’t sustain it for long.

If all else failed, he might have to drop the two women from the Su family to escape.

However, in an instant, a gust of wind rushed in, and a black shadow dashed out rapidly; with just a flick of his hand, the lightning vanished into thin air.

It was a masked man in black; Lin Nuo didn’t know who he was.

He didn’t seem like Lin Nuo’s enemy, for after his appearance, he faced off against the two Dongwei individuals and appeared quite relaxed.

Yet, thanks to his sudden appearance, Lin Nuo managed to slow down, quickly gathered his spirit to speed up, and immediately took the two women from the Su family and dashed out.

“Quick, follow me!”

Lin Nuo shouted, and Luo Yi and Su Kexin heard him and stopped tangling with the Dongwei, hastening to catch up.

The Dongwei would not let them escape easily and chased after them.

But the black-clothed man didn’t allow them to succeed; he raised his right hand, and his long sword was drawn, transforming into multiple sword intents descending from above, striking at the Dongwei.

The Dongwei were startled; this sword intent was incredibly powerful, and facing it directly could lead to severe injuries.

“Be careful, everyone!”

They quickly adjusted their spirit and called upon their shields to block the falling sword intent.

Boom!

The sounds of explosions reverberated through the mountains, strong forces scattering in all directions, causing thousands of grasses and trees to bend low.

The Dongwei retreated a short distance, and when they regained their composure, the black-clothed man had already vanished without a trace.

“Damn it, who is this person?!”

They cursed loudly.
