Chapter 1149: The Headless Demon

Chapter 1149: The Headless Demon

“This? A zombie?”

Watching as the demon’s head reattached itself was quite horror-inducing.

Head reattachment technique, what a new play style!

“Hm? Not bad, human.”

The demon shook his head, shrugging, with the bloodied marks on his neck already stitched up and the bleeding stopped.

And when he shook his head, it surprisingly didn’t fall off.

Quite sturdy, what brand of 520 did he use?

Looks like this isn’t going to be easy.

“I told you, things aren’t as simple as he thinks…”

The old man sighed heavily, realizing that it wouldn’t be easy. While it seemed like Lin Nuo could kill the opponent, the problem was that the opponent had the power of reincarnation; at least here, his body was difficult to eliminate.

“Grandpa, I think my senior martial brother can definitely take care of this. We just need to be patient…”

Su Kexin said this, but she was still worried. Although the demon’s head had been cut off and reattached, this was a horror tactic she’d never seen before.

But surely, her senior martial brother can handle it, right…

“You seem to look like you won’t die.”

Lin Nuo said, but after a wave of surprise, he quickly regained his composure.

He had read countless books, dabbling in all sorts of novels and comics, so he knew that beings who seemed immortal often had flaws.

One method was to completely destroy their body.

Just look at “Dragon Ball,” a Spirit Bomb took out Majin Buu.

Of course, he wouldn’t use a Spirit Bomb. Even if he could, who would provide the energy?

A lone villain like him, still at this broken seal place, collecting negative energy might be more fitting.

“You should know, human. I’ve been sealed here for decades! Today, I will absolutely see the light of day again!”

The demon shouted to the sky, as if the outcome was already decided, plotting revenge on society.

Lin Nuo could tell that this demon had undergone a transformation.

Transformation, meaning that while cultivating, he had taken a wrong turn.

Demon, demon, still a person; he just became less human during his cultivation.

It was usually a beastly transformation, with the ferocity of wild beasts, but he had become ghost-like.

With hair like a mess, he perfectly fit the mold of a ghost, looking like someone who hadn’t groomed themselves in ages.

Covering his face, it was completely obscured, and of course he didn’t want to see it; who knew how nasty his rotten face was under that wild hair?

If things went wrong, it could be horrifying enough to scare someone to death.

“Thinking pretty highly of yourself, brother.”

Lin Nuo, gripping his Spirit Sword, had no intention of retreating.

As long as the opponent died enough times, exceeding their self-recovery limits, they would naturally be gone.

At least that was the plan.

Exhausting it.

Lin Nuo rapidly charged forward, bringing his sword down violently. This time it was a strong hit, slicing from head to toe. The demon was cleaved in half, but quickly restored again.

Lin Nuo didn’t pause, continuing to chop. Each time the demon restored, he would strike again, chopping away, not sure how many times he had killed the demon by now.

Restored again, the entire body looked as if it had never been harmed.

“Human, no matter how skilled you are, you can’t kill me. In the end, you will die. Since you could enter here, you can also leave. If you take me out, I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, heh…”

From beneath that mass of hair came a sinister laugh. Even though Lin Nuo couldn’t see his face, he could guess that the demon was a total “sunshine boy.”

His whole vibe felt twisted.

“Oh? So you’re saying you can’t get out, huh?” Lin Nuo countered.

“I can get out, just need a bit of time. But I don’t want to waste that time. For you, there’s nothing but benefits in this.”

The demon was painting a pretty picture for Lin Nuo, but Lin Nuo wasn’t buying it. You can get out, and yet you’re still yelling here.

Thinking of fooling me, you don’t have the skills for that.

“I won’t just take some unknown person out. So tell me your name? What did you do before? Why were you sealed here…?”

Lin Nuo shot a series of questions, trying to get information. Even if this was a ghost with messy hair, they surely had a name when they were alive.

“That’s not something you need to know. We practice magic, they practice Tao, and being sealed here is just a matter of grudges.”

The demon replied, showing no intent to share anything about himself.

“Your attitude makes it hard to want to help you get out. Forget it, you might as well stay here forever.”

Lin Nuo continued gripping his Spirit Sword, rushing up once more to strike again.

This time he aimed for the head.

The demon laughed disdainfully, confident he wouldn’t die. No matter how this kid attacked, it would be him who ended up exhausted in the end.

His head fell again, and he attempted to use his technique to reattach it, but Lin Nuo summoned a large black vortex, then dashed toward the head.

“Useless.”

The demon continued to look down on Lin Nuo, and just as his head was trying to stand up, Lin Nuo kicked it like a soccer ball, sending it flying.

Bang!

That kick was hard, sending the demon’s head straight into the black vortex.

Then he withdrew his hand, and the black vortex immediately condensed into a small ball.

But inside, the demon struggled continuously, the condensed small ball shaking wildly.

It wasn’t realistic for Lin Nuo to seal him in the small ball; after all, he didn’t have that much Demon Soul Power to waste on it.

At that moment, the decapitated body went wild, extending its arms and rushing at Lin Nuo like a headless zombie.

Su Kexin watched in fear as the headless figure charged, finding it utterly horrifying.

“No choice; treating symptoms without addressing the root causes will never control him. Sealing him at the altar’s bottom is the best choice.”

The old man sighed again, feeling that Lin Nuo’s efforts were all in vain, meaningless exhaustion that wouldn’t change the current situation.

Lin Nuo threw the condensed small ball into the air, causing the headless body to miss its target.

But the body didn’t give up, chasing after the small ball, and Lin Nuo controlled the ball to fly around.

The scene had a sort of Taoist exorcising vibe.

This wasn’t useless work. Lin Nuo now planned to eliminate the demon’s head entirely within the small ball, erasing even its Soul.

He excelled at breaking souls; as long as the soul remained, the opponent could keep restoring their body, like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed.

Clearly, the headless knight was starting to panic now. The head felt the pressure of the situation growing, as if it would be digested entirely, its soul being devoured.

What?!

The more anxious the demon became, the more mistakes he made, repeatedly missing and even falling over, rolling several times.

Maintaining this situation required an enormous amount of Demon Soul Power, but Lin Nuo figured it wouldn’t be an issue; at least he’d be able to dissolve that head.

Alright, almost there.

Seeing the moment was right, Lin Nuo shouted, and the condensed black small ball exploded instantly.

Boom!

The head was completely obliterated.
