Chapter 846: Is This All You Dong Wei Got?

Chapter 846: Is This All You Dong Wei Got?

“Talk about chaotic, this melee battle is a total mess. Any brave warrior can easily become a target if they aren’t careful.”

Meanwhile, the valiant Su Kexin had already been marked by Xu Ku, whose sharp sword was locked onto her.

A reckless charge was bound to set herself up for disaster; her one-track mind was solely focused on breaking the curse between Dong Wei and the Heavenly Worship Sect.

The curse was temporarily broken, but the source remained unaddressed, and she was still very much alive.

At that moment, Xu Ku charged at Su Kexin with incredible speed.

Just as Su Kexin was feeling relieved for breaking the local curse, she realized the enemy had already marked her as prey.

The sharp blade was rapidly approaching her, cutting through the air with an ominous intent, closing in on her body.

Su Kexin felt the overwhelming pressure stalking her, causing her body to shudder from the force.

Xu Ku was a little chief from Dong Wei after all, boasting considerable strength—his speed and impact were enough to strike Su Kexin down with a single thrust.

Just as Su Kexin sensed Xu Ku’s onslaught and was about to raise her Phoenix Sword in defense—

However, Xu Ku’s speed was just too much; it felt like facing a dire threat. The sword in her hand failed to strike Xu Ku and swung air instead.

“Too slow, little cultivator.”

Xu Ku sneered, thinking that crushing a little girl was a piece of cake.

“Time to die!”

The sharp blade was about to descend on this frail little girl, and she had no way to dodge Xu Ku’s lethal thrust.

It was like one foot was already in the realm of the dead, while the other was about to step forward.

At that critical moment, a gust of wind rushed in, accompanied by the rapid arrival of a shadow.

“Get away from her!”

Boom!

Just as Xu Ku’s sword was about to fall, another Spirit Sword appeared, blocking Xu Ku’s blade.

A loud crash ensued, releasing a powerful wave of energy that knocked back everyone nearby, including Su Kexin.

“Master, Senior Brother?!”

It was that man, Lin Nuo, who had appeared just in time to intercept the enemy’s sword before it could strike her.

He blocked it.

Lin Nuo sighed in relief; this was quite the life-threatening situation—talk about a close call!

“You idiot, are you playing with fire? What were you thinking trying to attack Su Kexin like that?”

“Do you want to blow us all up?!”

He had no idea what Su Kexin was going through, and yet here he was, trying to harm her. What if her explosive state had already reached its peak? In that case, they’d all be caught in the blast.

Xu Ku gritted his teeth, so close—just one little step away from killing this female cultivator! Yet this kid had rushed in at lightning speed, intervening in the blink of an eye.

This power—he had thought himself strong, but during the sword clash, he sensed the opponent was even stronger! The arm holding the sword trembled from the overwhelming force.

This kid truly had some skills.

Xu Ku quickly leaped back to regain his bearings.

Lin Nuo didn’t press the attack but turned to check on Su Kexin.

Su Kexin was staring at him, overly excited at their reunion after such a long time.

Still the same Senior Brother, dressed in white, full of spirit and charm, as dashing and handsome as ever.

“Senior Brother…”

Su Kexin felt overwhelmed, unable to resist running towards him for a big hug.

“Stay to the side, don’t run around! This is a battlefield.”

Lin Nuo admonished her, much like an older brother scolding his clueless little sister.

“Mm…”

Su Kexin pouted, feeling a bit wronged.

It’s been so long since she last saw him, and he’s being so fierce!

But, her Senior Brother had always been cool on the outside but warm on the inside; didn’t he care about her when he rushed over to save her?

It seemed like he must have his own plans; after all, he must still be concerned for her.

“Luo Yi, protect her and let’s retreat. I’ll hold them off.”

Seeing Luo Xiaoxue rushing over, Lin Nuo urgently instructed her to get Su Kexin out of harm’s way. After all, someone as talented as Su Kexin shouldn’t be put in danger.

“Okay, Kexin, let’s fall back.”

Luo Xiaoxue quickly agreed to Lin Nuo’s orders, ready to take her away.

“Senior Brother, they’re performing a curse! It must be what’s causing the demon fox mutations!”

Su Kexin anxiously explained, but Lin Nuo impatiently replied:

“Enough, just hurry and go! You don’t need to worry about this. Your life is more important than anything else.”

“My life is more important than anything else…”

Receiving such a heartfelt declaration, Su Kexin felt her heart bloom with joy.

Hehe, in front of so many people, hearing such words from her Senior Brother—how embarrassing!

Luo Xiaoxue felt uncomfortable hearing that.

How distressing, that Lin the Hero valued her so much.

Suddenly an idea hit her; she didn’t want to take Su Kexin away anymore and wished she would just deal with it herself.

But she couldn’t go against Lin the Hero’s orders; she had to take her with her.

The two quickly retreated, following the main group as they fought their way out.

Meanwhile, Du Hai had taken advantage of Xu Ku’s attack on Su Kexin to recast the spell, and now he faced no interruptions, allowing him to cast comfortably.

A few cultists quickly cooperated, successfully casting their spell. Soon, the entire fox tribe started to exhibit strange behavior.

Su Kexin and the others saw these fox demons clutching their heads in extreme pain, rolling on the ground, their limbs bulging with veins, letting out horrifying growls as their eyes turned blood-red.

They had mutated, gone berserk.

“What the…”

Luo Xiaoxue was taken aback, everything seemed fine just a second ago!

“Too late.”

Su Kexin realized what was happening, panic gripping her. This was bad—they had successfully cast the curse, and these fox demons were going to go berserk.

If they snapped, it would probably make them outlaws, unable to clear their names.

Moreover, with so many citizens of Huang City, if these demon foxes started to riot, it would lead to bloody disaster.

“Hahaha, good! Demon foxes, do as you please! If you can control them, I concede defeat!”

Xu Ku laughed maniacally, mocking Lin Nuo. “After all that effort, it’s all for nothing!”

These demon foxes when berserk wouldn’t listen to commands; soon they’d turn on each other or be killed, raising their reputation with their crimes.

How could you possibly fight Dong Wei now?

At that moment, the Xuanyun Sect cultivators arrived on the scene, including their esteemed master.

Master Cong and Elder Yuan.

“Traitor Lin Nuo, you unlawfully freed these demon foxes to wreak havoc on the innocent! Your crimes are inexcusable!”

Master Cong shouted, seeing the demon foxes going wild, and realizing the townsfolk would suffer. They needed to suppress these demons.

But they were too fierce; they needed to act carefully.

“Heh.”

Lin Nuo chuckled, raising his sword.

To be honest, he hadn’t been afraid of breaking the curse.

Lin Nuo began to gather his spiritual energy, his sword glowing brightly.

Facing the erupting demon foxes, he swung the blade, unleashing a wave of sword energy that swept through the area.

In an instant, the furious roars of the demon foxes died down, and their bodies returned to normal.

Breaking the curse was just a matter of time.

“You Dong Wei, is this all you got?”

Lin Nuo sheathed his sword, leaving Xu Ku and the others dumbfounded.
