Chapter 1154: My Beloved Senior Brother

Chapter 1154: My Beloved Senior Brother

Lin Nuo did something so bizarre that even he found it hard to believe: he urged Su Kexin to unleash her power.

As long as this continued, even if Su Kexin eventually erupted, she would endure a wave of pain, her face pale and her words weak, thoroughly tortured.

This was something he once wished to witness.

But now, he was acting strangely, in an absurd way.

It’s coming.

Lin Nuo took a few steps back, watching the intense energy surging from Su Kexin.

This was a significant step in Su Kexin’s growth, and he had witnessed her journey, even accompanying her through it.

Absolutely absurd.

To think a villain could reach this level was unheard of.

However, at this moment, he had no regrets.

Perhaps he had come to accept Su Kexin’s assertion that the deeds of her other personality had nothing to do with her?

Maybe his hatred was truly aimed at the Su Kexin of his previous life, while this version of her felt completely different—there was no lingering disgust.

But matters of partners needed careful consideration. He wasn’t ready to be tied down by anything; as the ‘Wind Prince of Freedom,’ women would only hinder his fishing success, and meat floss cake sounded far more interesting.

However, whether Su Kexin would think of him as just meat floss cake when she erupted remained uncertain.

The aura radiating from Su Kexin grew more intense, stirring the branches and flowers of the deep valley, even drawing in light from outside, brightening the surroundings.

What does it mean to be a protagonist? It’s like living in another dimension; one could even assume she was transforming into Ultraman.

A massive horde of demon souls was approaching, but they had to halt in their tracks now.

Can they stop? It’s like facing a natural enemy.

That sparkling aura of Su Kexin meant that even getting close would lead to trouble.

There wasn’t a top-tier demon-slaying swordsman in this world who could surpass her.

Lin Nuo faced demons with all sorts of flashy skills, while Su Kexin’s approach was simple and brutal—a single swing, and done.

Would she chop HIM up too? That was still a question.

No need to panic; her sword speed couldn’t possibly match his running speed. The “Prince of Running Away” was not an empty title.

Thanks to Su Kexin’s eruption, the entire valley began to tremble, and the surroundings grew even brighter, as the external light surged in like a fierce beast.

As if possessed by the Great威天龙, the golden light surrounding her became increasingly dazzling. She gently raised her hand, and the Phoenix Sword flew into her grip.

With such a display, it was a bit showy.

What can you do? You’re the protagonist, taking all the spotlight like the prettiest girl on the block.

At that moment, the shining Phoenix Sword displayed the Phoenix Twin Swords, responding to Su Kexin’s will, ready to engage in battle.

Under Su Kexin’s command, the phoenix displayed a completely different aura; together with her, it was like a well-trained army, exuding the elegance of a divine beast, in movement and presence both.

In comparison, the phoenix under his control seemed inferior—after all, the synergy of dragon and phoenix could never match the official pairing of a phoenix.

The demon souls were understandably shocked and hesitated to move forward; charging meant walking into a death trap and getting blasted on the spot.

They hesitated, but Su Kexin wasn’t about to wait for them. She gripped her sword, tracing an outline in the air. The Phoenix Twin Swords transformed into vanguards, charging towards the massive crowd of demon souls.

This momentum was like a battering ram. The fiery phoenix divine entities dove into the soul horde, incinerating a large number of demon souls in searing flames. Just a touch, and they’d turn to air.

Then she began to advance, directly charging into battle, annihilating the remnants of demon souls trying to flee.

She swung her sword without any unnecessary flashy moves. With each strike, a wave of sword qi erupted, obliterating another wave of demon souls along the path.

This demon-slaying warrior seemed capable of withstanding even a million-strong demonic army.

Soon, the massive horde of demon souls was entirely eradicated by Su Kexin, who proved to be exponentially more powerful than the smaller threats.

So, here’s the question.

For now, they shared a common enemy, but once the outside threat was dealt with, there’d be the internal issue to confront.

Their clash.

Or rather, one-sided suppression.

After her eruption, Su Kexin possessed incredibly strong demon-slaying capabilities—even Lin Nuo, whose skills had reached perfection, couldn’t find a way to confront her.

Lin Nuo was starting to feel anxious. With the demon souls eliminated, only the two of them would remain.

Old man, where are you? Hurry here, take a blow from your granddaughter to see if your old bones can handle it. Let her suffer the sin of killing her grandpa!

Gone, that old man was likely swept away by those demons. Ignoring Lin Nuo’s advice was about to backfire in a big way.

Let’s stall, wear out Su Kexin’s time…but her peculiar trait was that as long as a threatening enemy was nearby, she would never revert from her eruption state.

There’s no way she’d reduce her guard just because he said, “I’m weak; I can’t deal damage,” right?

She wasn’t foolish enough for that.

After annihilating that group of demon souls, Su Kexin didn’t look back; her hair fluttered wildly in the fierce wind, and the Phoenix Twin Swords circled gracefully, leaving Lin Nuo with a powerful silhouette.

What’s the deal? If you’re coming, then make your move already. What’s with the theatrics?

Lin Nuo looked up, wondering why her strikes didn’t disrupt the gravity field above him so he could escape.

Lin Nuo felt like Su Kexin was trying to toy with his psyche, acting cool after finishing her fight without glancing back.

Lin Nuo remained still, worried about startling her, or perhaps if he simply dragged it out, he might wear out her eruption state.

However, this good situation didn’t last long; Su Kexin eventually turned around to face him directly.

Her expression was blank, her gaze cold, yet she fixed her eyes on Lin Nuo without blinking.

“Hiss…”

It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable. He couldn’t keep cowering; he had to overcome it.

If there’s a fight, then let it come!

Lin Nuo tightened his grip on the sharp sword. Despite this thought, he wouldn’t take the initiative to strike; after all, his goal wasn’t to kill her but to survive.

Su Kexin walked toward Lin Nuo, the Phoenix Twin Swords still soaring by her side, a magnificent aura radiating from her.

In comparison, Lin Nuo hadn’t released the dragon from his sword; he was a lone dragon, about to be overrun by her two phoenixes.

Those phoenixes had flown to her side; combined, the Phoenix Twin Swords meant he was alone in the face of powerful adversaries—what was he even saying about partners?

Lin Nuo was ready, but he remained poised, planning to unleash a gust of wind to make a quick escape as soon as she charged; she wouldn’t be able to land a blow.

As Su Kexin got closer, Lin Nuo grew more anxious, sensing a life-or-death battle was imminent.

However, at about twenty meters away, Su Kexin stopped. The intensity of her aura hadn’t diminished, but her eyes regained their color and softened.

“Senior, Senior Brother…”

She spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, yet Lin Nuo could hear her.

“Mm?”

That one sound helped ease Lin Nuo’s tense nerves a bit.

Did she manage to regain control?

“You…remember me?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Mm… You are my Senior Brother… my… beloved Senior Brother…”

A hint of a smile broke through her previously cold face.
