Chapter 1152: The Riot of Demon Souls

“Hmph, Senior Martial Brother, you, you’re tricking me again.”

Though she said that, Su Kexin had no reason not to believe him.

She was so innocent; sweet words made her believe in no time.

Especially coming from Lin Nuo, the one she admired. If he said so, it must be true.

Feeling a little happier, her sense of grievance lightened.

It was really easy to satisfy her.

“I’ll put it this way, believe it or not, if you want me to prove anything, forget it. I have no interest in proving anything. If you don’t believe me, just act like I never said anything.”

“Ah, I believe, I believe! I was just joking, Senior Martial Brother, please don’t take it seriously. Once you say it, it counts; it’s like a horse can’t chase after what you’ve committed to.”

Su Kexin’s mood changed too quickly; her bad mood evaporated in an instant.

Hope was alive again! It must be because of her strange ability that Senior Martial Brother was wary of her, right?

Indeed, that ability was a threat to everyone, even family. Who knew what foolish things her out-of-control self might do? Massacring the innocent or even harming family members wasn’t out of the question.

To find her own happiness, she had to overcome this!

“I say, you women really love to cry, always bursting into tears at any moment. I don’t have a handkerchief, so don’t mind using my clothes to wipe your tears.”

“No, no! How could I bear to use Senior Martial Brother’s clothes to wipe my tears? How embarrassing, letting you see my teary face!”

Su Kexin hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to dab her tears, thankful it hadn’t escalated too much. Otherwise, turning against each other completely would have been a hassle; reconciliation would be impossible.

No matter how angry she got, wasn’t it all because she liked Senior Martial Brother? Throwing a tantrum was just a means to mend their relationship.

Well, maybe not “mend,” but rather a way to find hope for herself again.

Now there was hope.

That’s all that mattered; what more could she ask for?

Su Kexin’s little drama ended, and she wasn’t the spoiled type; aside from being occasionally silly, her personality was quite good.

She usually accommodated Lin Nuo, but this time the blow was too great, prompting her outburst.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Senior Martial Brother! It was my fault for suddenly losing my temper. Please don’t take it to heart. I just wanted to recover, I value you dearly; I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

Su Kexin apologized repeatedly; the situation improved, so she admitted her fault to avoid angering Lin Nuo.

“Your behavior is quite normal; there’s no need to apologize. Well, I too said some not-so-nice things, so let’s just pretend nothing happened.”

“Mm-hmm! We are still us; Senior Martial Brother and I will have a wonderful future together, right? Right? You say we will be family, yes? Of course, if you request, I’ll take on the Lin surname too!”

Lin Nuo: “…You seem to be thinking too far ahead. Alright, I need to deal with the rest of this body now.”

Lin Nuo’s gaze shifted back to the altar. Even though they had quarreled, they hadn’t fully recovered, but he was still capable of handling the remaining headless body.

Alright, let’s get this over with before more trouble arises.

Lin Nuo raised his hand, but the barrier around the headless Demon deepened in purple, and the Demon Qi thickened. This was Lin Nuo’s final ritual.

However, as he began his incantation, the entire altar started to shake again.

“What the—what’s happening now?”

Lin Nuo was startled. Couldn’t the old man perform a proper spell for once? Just for a short moment, he barely needed to apply a spell to send it off completely.

“Crap…!”

The old man furrowed his brows, sensing that things were not looking good.

“What do you mean crap? Don’t be so jumpy.”

Lin Nuo was speechless. With you suddenly shouting crap from behind, it’s more frightening! Old man, you weren’t sounding too strong just now, and now you yell so loudly?

Are you trying to scare me?

“All the Demon Souls in the altar may be coming out.”

“Let them come out. What’s the problem? Isn’t that stubborn one finished already?”

“Well, yes…but their thoughts are extremely radical. If they feel threatened, they might choose to blow us all up together.”

“So what if they self-destruct? It’s not a big deal; a common occurrence. The Refining Demon Sect loves to use human bombs.”

Lin Nuo was unimpressed. Go ahead and explode; can they really blow up the entire sealed space?

No need to keep chatting, buddy still had to clean up this mess.

Alright, enough fooling around, just blow it up already.

However, Lin Nuo’s spell didn’t succeed, and a ton of Demon Souls gushed out from the altar, directly breaching the barrier Lin Nuo had set up, cascading toward the demon.

A chaotic horde of Demon Souls, including Demon Beasts, all mixed together like a chaotic stew, echoing various sounds throughout the space.

The noise was so aggravating it was grating on Lin Nuo’s nerves.

Why the heck did they all come out?

“No good. I have to seal the exit. Whatever I can close, I must; if they all come out and attach to the Demon, it could be disastrous.”

The old man didn’t hesitate much, quickly raising his staff forward, seizing the moment he still had the power to close off the altar’s entrance.

“Grandpa, are you going over there?”

“Yes, my dear granddaughter, wait for me here. I’ll be quick.”

“Ah, Grandpa, be careful!”

Just as Su Kexin called out, the powerful aura of the unleashed Demon Souls sent the old man staggering back.

These Demon Souls had become aware they were done for, and the headless Demon still had lingering soul energy, calling for them to join in a final resistance.

This was a do-or-die situation; no, they were already planning to perish together.

They had no hope of escaping now, and at that moment, their goal was to drag Lin Nuo and the others down with them.

“Damn it, these worthless things.”

Lin Nuo cursed under his breath; the situation wasn’t looking good. The extremism of these Demon Souls was beyond his imagination.

Just brace yourself, and take out as many as possible.

Hoo.

Lin Nuo raised his hand, and suddenly a black vortex appeared in the air, from which a black shockwave surged forth.

Damn them!

The shockwave rushed down, targeting the headless Demon.

To his surprise, those Demon Souls crazily piled up in defense against Lin Nuo’s black shockwave, with even some Demon Souls rushing towards the vortex.

Boom!

With a series of loud explosions, the black vortex was obliterated.

What a pack of Demon Soul bombs; they would rather turn to ash than let anyone escape.

“Cough.”

Suddenly, an explosion of Demon Souls in front blasted against Lin Nuo, sending him stumbling backward a bit.

This is some serious trouble.

“Senior Martial Brother!”

“Quick, retreat! Don’t come over!”

“I… ah!”

Before Lin Nuo could react, a multitude of Demon Souls surged towards Su Kexin. In a flurry of explosions, thick clouds of dust erupted.

This is bad.

“What’s wrong?!”

Lin Nuo panicked, feeling as if Su Kexin was in grave danger, and rushed over.

Su Kexin lay on the ground, barely hanging on.
