Chapter 1188: Is That the Young Master?

Chapter 1188: Is That the Young Master?

Although I spotted the White Fox Clan, I still hadn’t seen Li Ruo’er herself.

I should keep looking; let me grab a fox and ask where she is.

One by one, the Demon manifestations swooped down, charging in recklessly, making Lin Nuo a bit annoyed.

It’s not the ants that are scary, but the sheer number of them.

Furthermore, with two younger sisters along, moving around is quite inconvenient.

Ling Meng was fighting fiercely too; Lin Nuo genuinely feared she would go berserk and start targeting her own enemies, and then they would really be in trouble.

Fortunately, she managed to keep calm.

“Get down.”

Lin Nuo focused his energy, and a purple-black barrier appeared around them in an instant.

“Alright, Ling Meng, you take control of this barrier.”

“Me? Isn’t this the Demon Ruler’s power?”

“I’m just getting it started; I’m passing control to you. I’ll focus on speeding up with my sword; think of it as us fighting side by side.”

Lin Nuo explained. He was mainly skilled in assassin-type abilities, focusing on a single strike, while a persistent barrier like this was more suited to Ling Meng.

But why not let Ling Meng use it herself?

Because he wanted the barrier to keep up with his sword speed. So, he was using it and connecting it to his sword while letting Ling Meng maintain it.

After all, they’d practiced transferring control before, so teamwork likely wouldn’t be an issue.

“Okay, Demon Ruler.”

Ling Meng agreed, taking command of the protective barrier and stabilizing its defense.

At that moment, Lin Nuo charged forward on his sword in one go.

Whoosh!

The speed was astonishing, like a gust of wind, directly smashing through numerous flying Demons. Even as various Demon attacks came flying in, the solid barrier from Ling Meng stood firm.

Before long, they plunged into the heart of the White Fox Clan.

“Is that… Lord Lin?!”

Upon seeing Lin Nuo, the White Foxes were overjoyed, relieved that they weren’t doomed yet. They hadn’t expected him to descend from the heavens.

“Where’s Li Ruo’er?”

As soon as Lin Nuo touched down, he immediately inquired about Li Ruo’er’s whereabouts.

“Young Master Li? She’s currently at the front line providing support…”

“The front line? What are you all doing? You let a young master go to the front line?!”

“It was Young Master Li’s insistence… The Demons protecting us need her Spirit Technique assistance, and thanks to her, we haven’t been overwhelmed here…”

“Take me there.”

Lin Nuo said. Li Ruo’er was at the front line; a young girl with low combat power would only be good for healing techniques. Sending her to the front was like asking for a disaster.

If anything happened to her, there would be trouble for you in the Demon Realm.

Under the guidance of some other White Foxes, Lin Nuo swiftly made his way towards the front line. They were thinly spread and had already lost many positions, with many Fox People injured, some even dead.

He had gathered a robust group of healthy Fox People, only for them to end up like the weak and ill.

“Lord Lin is here! Lord Lin is here! Lord Lin, please save Young Master Li! They won’t last much longer!”

More Fox People, upon seeing Lin Nuo arrive, reacted like they had seen a savior, bursting into cheers.

“Get back! You just going up there will be wasting your lives.”

Lin Nuo reprimanded them; they could fight in the wild but not defend a city under full assault from a wave of Demons.

Fortunately, Lin Nuo had a regional advantage; the Demons weren’t as overwhelming as he had envisioned; they were just extraordinarily numerous.

Following where others pointed, Lin Nuo finally spotted Li Ruo’er.

Alongside her was her mother, Ni Wanqing; the two were fighting side by side.

Hmm? There’s also a human with them?

Numerous Sharp Swords were falling from the sky, striking relentlessly at the surging Demon Beasts. This tactic looked a bit familiar.

Isn’t that the legendary Sword Saint?

Last time, he was severely injured and hadn’t fully recovered, yet here he was still fighting.

Oh, it turns out Li Ruo’er was supplying him with Spirit Power.

In other words, part of what he was using now was coming from Li Ruo’er.

It was turning into a family affair on the battlefield.

However, even with the famous Sword Saint on their side, they were under tremendous pressure.

After all, this was the Demon’s territory; combined with the Sword Saint’s unhealed state, while he had skills to eradicate Demons, he was still finding it challenging facing this massive demon army.

Li Ruo’er’s complexion looked pale; clearly, she was straining herself, and if she ceased supplying power, the Sword Saint might not withstand the onslaught of the Demons.

It seemed they needed to annihilate the enemy.

Lin Nuo didn’t rush forward to join Li Ruo’er immediately; he stopped in place, tossing the Demon Sword high into the air.

Whoosh!

His gaze was sharp, and as the Demon Sword ascended, it instantly transformed into an overwhelming number of Demon Swords, creating a magnificent sword array in the air.

“Who?!”

The Sword Saint became vigilant, feeling a bit panicked at the sight of so many Demon Swords appearing, especially since he still hadn’t dealt with the throngs of Demons in front of him. How could he possibly face this?

“Father… Mother… we really must…”

Li Ruo’er felt a sense of despair; having seen the Demons wielding swords, they thought a large number of Demon Sword wielders were coming to attack, and if they truly charged in, there was no escaping death.

Dying here felt so unjust; even in death, she wanted to be beside the Young Master, to be buried in the back mountains of Ru Yu Village.

If she really died, the Young Master wouldn’t know; there wouldn’t even be a body left behind, likely turning into a wandering spirit, making it impossible for the Young Master to find her.

“Down.”

Lin Nuo concentrated his thoughts, commanding the multitude of swords to rain down upon the charging Demons.

Boom!

Each sword that hit the ground created localized explosions, demolishing countless Demon Beasts in the process.

“This is not the enemy. Where did this come from?”

Ni Wanqing, Li Ruo’er’s mother, looked around, finally noticing someone casting spells behind them.

But the overwhelming number of beasts and Demons blocked their view; they couldn’t identify the caster.

“He actually came.”

As the targets of the swords were the enemies, the Sword Saint relaxed, ceasing his own swordplay to avoid further drawing on Li Ruo’er’s Spirit Power.

“Father, why did you stop? Where did those swords come from?”

Li Ruo’er asked, confused. The power of those swords was indeed stronger than the Sword Saint’s and wiped out a huge swarm of beasts and Demons in an instant.

“Could it be the Young Master?! This technique feels eerily familiar, but the Young Master’s sword isn’t like that. Where could he be?”

Li Ruo’er shook her head, also noting someone behind was casting spells but still didn’t see who it was.

“Mother, could that be the Young Master? It should be him, right? Only he could have such ability!”

“Not sure; we can’t judge whether they’re friend or foe before seeing them.”

Ni Wanqing cautioned; without seeing the person, one should refrain from jumping to conclusions.

“Li Young Master! Li Young Master! Quickly, retreat!”

Some subordinates rushed in shouting for Li Ruo’er to fall back.

“Why do we need to retreat?” Li Ruo’er asked, puzzled.

“It’s Lord Lin’s order, Young Master Li!”

“Lord Lin? The Young Master?! Is that Demon Sword really from the Young Master?!” Li Ruo’er instantly became thrilled.
