Chapter 1281: Relying on Two Main Characters
Lin Nuo usually learned Ice Techniques from Qin Shili, combining it with his extensive knowledge and level of Demon Power, which nearly immobilized the Demon Woman’s entire body, including her bodily functions.
In other words, she was about to explode and kill everything, but now she was frozen, stopped in her tracks.
However, it took a lot of Demon Soul Power to maintain this state, which was a huge burden on his currently exhausted body.
Even so, what had to be frozen must be frozen. Since she came along, he couldn’t just watch her get annihilated.
Changing professions wasn’t a good gig. He used to kill people, and now he had to save them.
Actually, it wasn’t so much a change as it was picking up a side job; saving lives while also ending others.
This dark version of Ice Techniques was indeed effective. The Demon Woman’s functions had all ceased, forcibly extending her life.
Of course, even so, he didn’t have enough assurance to save her.
After all, this body wasn’t hers, and the splitting of souls was a high-end skill that consumed even more. It was already tough enough for him just to maintain her frozen state.
Alright, first things first, he needed to get her out of there.
Word had it there was a Magic Spring nearby, already occupied by the Handa Alliance from the Demon Realm, which had been polluted, but the Sacred Realm had recaptured it and was in the process of purifying it. He thought about whether he could make it there before the purification was complete.
The Magic Spring could restore his body, as long as he had sufficient Demon Soul Power, he could try all kinds of tricks. A dead horse could be treated like a live one; there had to be a way that suited her.
If Ling Meng’s true form was still there, he might be able to return her to Ling Meng.
But Ling Meng was still in the Demon Realm, and crossing over to the Sacred Realm without his resistance chain would leave her kneeling before she even walked much.
“Can you still talk?”
Lin Nuo asked, but of course, there was no response.
Well, that’s good. If she could respond, it meant he hadn’t applied enough force.
The troops from the Handa Alliance were rapidly pursuing from the Demon Realm, and Lin Nuo hurriedly carried the Demon Woman, utilizing his remaining Demon Soul Power to escape their line of sight.
A few miles away from the Magic Spring, he had to maintain the Demon Woman’s frozen state, choosing to ride faster.
It would be best to find two henchmen now.
Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue, where are you two?
He tried to launch a signal flare, wondering if those two girls were aware and would come to assist. Otherwise, he’d have to go solo.
Lin Nuo quickly approached the Magic Spring, and sure enough, the Sacred Master of the Sacred Realm was urgently purifying the Magic Spring. After all, the spread of the Magic Spring’s water was destructive to the ecology of the Sacred Realm.
“Damn it, there are quite a few people.”
Lin Nuo noticed there were many, and reinforcements were indeed quick. It hadn’t been long since the pollution, yet they were already pushing back.
Seeing the Sacred Light, Lin Nuo felt a bit uncomfortable, as the Sacred Master’s Sacred Light was blindingly bright. If he got any closer, it would surely dazzle his handsome eyes.
If he rushed in, he would definitely be kneeling. After all, it was their territory, with all those blinding Sacred Lights.
Near the Magic Spring, various Sacred Masters dressed in holy robes were chanting spells, making Lin Nuo feel like he had run straight into their church.
In the past, he went to churches to pray, hoping for the banishment of demons; now he had become the demon.
“O Spirit of the Earth, can you feel my prayer? Return to your original form!”
The leading Sacred Master raised his staff and spoke strange words, like some forest guardian. After his call, the Sacred Light grew even more dazzling, and the spring water slowly became clearer.
If it got fully purified, he wouldn’t have a chance.
Alright, let’s try a sky shattering surprise attack and take out the Sacred Master.
But the opportunity was only once; if he missed, he would be exposed.
Just as Lin Nuo was about to gamble, Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue rushed over.
Of course, they didn’t bump into Lin Nuo, as he was hiding but did encounter the group of Sacred Masters.
“Who? What are you doing here? Leave immediately, this isn’t a place for you!”
Before Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue got close, they were driven away by the guards.
“Uh? We’re not here to cause trouble. Have you seen… uh…”
Su Kexin hesitated to finish her sentence. How could she ask if they had seen a demon in front of the holy knights?
They would definitely suspect them!
She wasn’t that foolish.
If Lin Nuo were here, it would certainly cause a riot, but now it was all peaceful.
Wasn’t that signal sent by Lin Nuo? Did they get it wrong?
“Sorry, we got lost and are in the wrong place. We didn’t mean to disturb you.”
Su Kexin repeatedly apologized, glancing at Luo Xiaoxue, speaking in a hushed tone:
“The signal from Senior Brother was here, right? Can you tell? Could it be that Senior Brother got captured? Should we charge in?”
“Before we confirm he’s here, if we act recklessly and get captured, it would just drag Lin the Knight down with us. Or perhaps we’re mistaken.”
Luo Xiaoxue hadn’t seen Lin Nuo either, but didn’t leave immediately. However, the holy knights were eager to send them away.
“Leave quickly! Otherwise, we’ll be forced to capture you and hold you accountable! Hurry!”
“What the heck? We haven’t done anything wrong…”
Su Kexin was a bit furious. Why were they so aggressive? It was really unlucky.
She couldn’t help but wonder how Senior Brother was doing, sigh!
Just as Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue were being forced to leave, a sudden commotion broke out among the group of holy knights.
“Demon! There’s a demon!”
“Exterminate it, kill it immediately! Don’t let them get close to the Magic Spring!”
The holy knights rushed to intercept Lin Nuo, just as they were about to achieve purification; how could they let him get close!
“Uh? That’s Senior Brother! What about us?”
Su Kexin exchanged glances with Luo Xiaoxue, and they both nodded in agreement.
Forget about it, let’s charge in together against a common enemy alongside Senior Brother!
Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue surged forward. The peerless duo was protected by the Sacred Realm’s environment, their killing power astonishing. Although they were hit multiple times by Spirit Techniques, the protagonist’s skills allowed them to fight even harder.
One unleashed fierce blows, while the other was surrounded by golden light, one attacking and one defending, the two advancing together!
Lin Nuo had only stirred things up a few times, causing a ruckus, allowing Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue to clear the path ahead while he conserved some Demon Soul Power.
The two women he once wanted to kill had now become his vanguard.
If someone had told him this in his previous life, he would never have believed it.
Well, the power of the protagonists was indeed formidable.
“Just a little more, stop them!”
“Can’t stop! Their power is too terrifying! They are on par with our top holy knights!”
“Damn it! Retreat! Return to report to the lord!”
The head Sacred Master, Song Kade, angered, said those two girls must also be from the Sacred Realm, yet they allied with demons.
That was definitely not a good sign.
After Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue battled their way through, they managed to recapture the Magic Spring.
However, they were still in a blood rage and couldn’t calm down immediately. Upon seeing the Demon Woman beside Lin Nuo, their first reaction was that she was trying to harm Lin Nuo and wanted to kill her.
Lin Nuo: “Wait, no, you two can stop! She’s not the enemy.”
“Senior Brother, I felt it! She’s trying to harm you!”
Then the two charged angrily towards him.
