Chapter 1083: The Strange Girl

Lin Nuo felt something was off. This creepy place hadn’t even hosted a single fly during its quiet moments, yet now a strong killing intent suddenly descended, suffocating him.

What could it be?

He raised his Spirit Sword, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

After all, despite his fiery spirit back then, he couldn’t help but feel fear when facing a formidable enemy.

Hey, what’s there to be afraid of? I’m a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect! Shouldn’t I be brave enough to handle this tiny issue?

Just protect this girl—she might be my destiny!

He swallowed hard and stepped slowly in front of Su Kexin, intending to guard her.

However, in the dark ahead, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared, fixated on them.

“What is that?”

Staring into those blood-red eyes made Lin Nuo feel even more frightened, and his hands quivered even more.

Soon, a massive silhouette emerged from the darkness.

It was a wolf, but the largest and most ferocious-looking wolf Lin Nuo had ever seen.

This wolf was estimated to be five times his size.

Is this a wild wolf?

He thought back to his many trips to Ru Yu Village and had never heard of such a colossal and ferocious creature!

Has it mutated?

What caused this mutation?

No idea.

That wasn’t something he could worry about now.

All he could think about was surviving.

Once the massive wolf appeared, a powerful Demon Qi surged from its body, rapidly pressing toward him.

Is this a Demon Wolf?

If there’s a Demon Wolf, there might be a whole pack lurking nearby!

This is terrible! If this pack of Demon Wolves reaches Ru Yu Village, how much chaos would that bring?

Surely the villagers, his mother, and Ruo’er would all perish.

“Damn it… There’s no way to run now.”

Lin Nuo gripped his Spirit Sword tightly, trying to stop his trembling hands, but it was all in vain; they still shook.

The gigantic Demon Wolf clenched its teeth, hissing ominously, sounding utterly terrifying.

It suddenly halted but only for a brief moment. Moments later, it lunged at Lin Nuo.

“Crap…”

Lin Nuo reacted quickly, barely dodging, and then swiftly swung his sword, striking the wolf. However, it seemed to have a tough exterior—he couldn’t break through.

“Is it that hard? Here it comes again!”

The Demon Wolf was swift; before Lin Nuo could retract his hand, it turned around and pounced again.

Lin Nuo tried to withstand the attack, but he was overpowered by its sheer force.

“Damn it… this thing… what the hell.”

He gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into resisting, but it was futile.

Soon, the sword in his hands was bitten in half by the wolf, which shocked him greatly.

No way! It was made from the Lin family’s substantial investment!

Alright, who knows how much raw material was mixed in there.

Lin Nuo’s survival instincts kicked in intensely. At the moment the sword broke, he seemed to get a rush of adrenaline and quickly dodged.

But after that dodge, he felt utterly exhausted. If the Demon Wolf charged again, he surely wouldn’t be able to dodge.

What now? The sword is broken.

That little girl has a sword—I’ll just take hers.

But I doubt it’s as good as mine.

No matter, I’ll just grab it.

Lin Nuo strained to pick up Su Kexin’s sword, but the Demon Wolf lunged again. This time he didn’t manage to evade, and the wolf’s attack struck him on the back, a searing pain flooding his whole body.

He rolled on the ground for several turns, too drained to run any longer.

Is this where I meet my end?

The Demon Wolf’s steps slowed as it approached, seemingly not planning to kill him right away.

Soon, it was right in front of Lin Nuo, looking down at him like he was a piece of soon-to-be prey.

Lin Nuo had no means to run now.

Yet it didn’t kill him. Instead, it opened its mouth, strongly emitting Demon Qi that surged toward Lin Nuo.

The Demon Qi invaded his body, and he felt a pain beyond words.

This Demon Wolf…

In agony, he rolled on the ground, but the wolf didn’t stop, continuing to pour its Demon Qi into him.

“Cough, cough…”

Lin Nuo struggled to breathe, feeling extremely distressed.

At that moment, the Demon Wolf spoke:

“Foolish human, don’t struggle. Become my servant; this is your fate.”

“What…? Who are you…?”

Lin Nuo was astonished—this wolf can talk!

“Norris, a god-tier magical beast once sealed. Now, you have been chosen by me to find a way out.”

The Demon Wolf replied to Lin Nuo, then it stopped its actions and turned to approach the fallen Su Kexin.

“And her, I went through so much to bring you both into this canyon. You will all become my servants.”

Using the same method, it began to send Demon Qi into Su Kexin.

However, this time, the process didn’t go as smoothly as it had with Lin Nuo.

Su Kexin seemed to struggle a bit before emanating a radiant glow; her jet-black hair surged upward instantly.

“What… is this…?!”

Norris was surprised. What happened to this little girl? How did her spirit power surge like that?

It needed to suppress her quickly.

Norris swiftly used magic to construct a Demon Array to subdue Su Kexin’s power.

Yet it was futile; Su Kexin’s power far exceeded its expectations.

The Demon Array shattered, and Su Kexin stood up, her expression emotionless and her eyes void of color.

Norris was baffled; it only knew that it had to take this little girl down.

Lie down, human!

However, when the Demon Wolf hit Su Kexin, she pushed it back with overwhelming power.

“Is it sealed for too long? Can’t even handle a human being…”

It was astonished that it was pushed back by a little girl’s strength!

Su Kexin walked toward Lin Nuo and picked up her sword.

Then her gaze shifted to the Demon Wolf.

The wolf gritted its teeth, opened its mouth to roar, and the Demon Soul Power surged, its fur standing on end.

It charged its power in its right paw, striking fiercely at Su Kexin.

Yet Su Kexin showed no intention of dodging; she swung her sword directly and slashed at the Demon Wolf.

That blow inflicted serious injury, overwhelming pain flooding through its entire body.

“What…”

It stood up again, but Su Kexin followed up with another strike.

Another severe wound caused it to let out a painful howl, forcing it to retreat.

Its movements slowed. Su Kexin’s sword was depleting its Demon Soul Power; it no longer had enough to heal, let alone continue fighting.

Run; it could only run.

It attempted to back away, but at this moment, Lin Nuo stood up.

He had wounds all over his body, and blood streamed from his mouth.

“My servant, stop her!”

Norris attempted to control Lin Nuo to block Su Kexin, but Lin Nuo’s eyes were now filled with murderous intent as he picked up the broken half of the sword and lunged at Norris.

Roar!

As the sword tip descended, Norris let out a frantic howl.

“You… you…”

“Die!”

Lin Nuo exerted all his strength, driving the half-sword down and stabbing Norris to death.

Soon, the Demon Wolf lay lifeless on the ground.

“Finally… hm…?”

Lin Nuo realized it wasn’t over yet; Su Kexin was now approaching him with her sword held high.
