Chapter 1308: The End

“Aike, you know nothing about power.”

Wasn’t that woman someone you could easily annoy?

This was Lin Nuo’s last resort; Aike was supposed to have the Four Soul Guardian, allowing for infinite healing—impossible to be killed. If they could just wait until Su Kexin’s time ran out, then he would be in real danger.

So, they had to eliminate the Four Souls first.

Currently, Su Kexin was completely unconscious, reverted to her original form.

This was quite dangerous because she could unleash her power at will but had still entered an unconscious state. Whether her consciousness could return was uncertain.

He could no longer care; this was beyond his control.

Aike thought about ripping off the magical talisman Lin Nuo had placed, but Su Kexin swung her sword down again. He couldn’t afford to move recklessly during his healing process.

“Damn it, that crazy woman.”

Before Aike could tear away the talisman, he saw Lin Nuo’s palms come together, chanting a spell.

Thunder, boom!

As he finished chanting, the roaring thunder descended from the sky, striking Aike’s scythe.

The area of this magical strike was smaller than others, but that made it more precise, wasting no firepower.

After the thunder struck down, the Four Beast Souls beside Aike briefly separated.

It wasn’t too terrible; Aike felt he could quickly gather the Four Souls again.

However, Su Kexin’s sharp sword struck again, giving him no chance to cast his spell.

“Damn it, get away!”

Aike, furious and anxious, blasted Su Kexin away.

Su Kexin, hit one too many times, had exceeded her physical limit. After being knocked down this time, she didn’t get up quickly, her movements much slower.

“Finally not insane, so now it’s…”

Taking advantage of Su Kexin’s slowed movements, Aike planned to recover. Little did he expect, Lin Nuo, like a ghost that wouldn’t go away, crept up again.

Why couldn’t he sense this person’s presence? When did he get here?!

Just as Aike was puzzled, Lin Nuo began to chant another spell, and in an instant, another wave of thunder crashed down on the scythe, scattering the Four Souls even more.

“Die!”

Aike, furious and embarrassed, wanted to slash Lin Nuo with his scythe, but Lin Nuo was quick, transferring the magical talisman from the scythe to Aike’s hand.

Boom!

Several bolts of thunder struck Aike’s hand.

Aike felt a slight numbness in his hand, but it wasn’t a big deal to him; as long as he didn’t get hurt…

Yet, his grip on the scythe wavered slightly. At that moment, Lin Nuo directly snatched the weapon from him.

For Aike, this was unprecedented. He had faced countless enemies, having only seen weapons knocked from opponents’ hands; he had never witnessed someone snatch a weapon right in front of him.

Right in his face!

This human’s methods and courage were beyond his expectations, completely defying the norm.

But it didn’t matter; that scythe was his summon. Even if Lin Nuo had taken it, the weapon would still corrode Aike’s Demon Soul Power. Given his current state, he was unlikely to handle that pressure, likely to perish on the spot.

You will pay for your actions!

However, reality was not as Aike thought. The scythe surprisingly didn’t corrode Lin Nuo; instead, Lin Nuo harnessed it.

Since it had been afflicted by the Punishment of the Sinful Beast, the scythe couldn’t absorb Lin Nuo’s Demon Soul Power for the moment. Seizing this opportunity, Lin Nuo swung the scythe down.

Bang!

Just as Aike had struck Su Kexin, he struck Aike with the same ferocity. Though it was just one slash, it was undeniably fierce.

Blood splattered, and Aike’s body struggled to heal immediately.

“Damn it, how can you be unhurt…?!”

Aike was still confused about how Lin Nuo could use his weapon against him when Lin Nuo discarded the scythe and reached out. Su Kexin’s Phoenix Sword and his Demon Sword immediately flew into his hands.

Once holding the Phoenix Twin Swords, he could execute a dual-wield style, but after the Phoenix Sword merged with the Demon Sword, he hadn’t used them in that manner since.

Furthermore, after the Phoenix betrayed him and went to Su Kexin, who was the true Phoenix united, he hadn’t utilized them at all.

After a long time, as he again gripped the twin swords, it was a unique feeling.

So now, it was time.

Lin Nuo popped a Fury Pill into his mouth and swallowed it down. This was his last gamble, the final wave.

When possessed, the Fury Pill didn’t boost him much, but it was a perfect choice now for recovery.

Though he had to pay the price of pain, he went for it.

Never mind the future; being cool was a lifelong affair.

“With your current Demon Soul Power, what can you do to me?”

“I’ll chop you down.”

Fueled by the Fury Pill, Lin Nuo was pumped up and ready to go.

Wind Blade Technique, full throttle!

Slash!

Lin Nuo’s arms moved like a madman, slashing down like lightning, showing no signs of his previously low Demon Soul Power; instead, he became even more ferocious.

“This… how…?!”

Aike was dumbfounded. How was this Lin Nuo just like Su Kexin? Both were nearly at their limits, yet filled to the brim with strength?

It was utterly irrational, impossible to explain!

With the twin swords united, Lin Nuo displayed might, the Phoenix danced, the Demon Dragon roared, unleashing infinite impact. Aike was completely caught off guard.

If Aike sustained damage beyond his body’s tolerance, he wouldn’t be able to heal!

Aike tried to resist, but Lin Nuo relentlessly battered him with dual swords, both imbued with divine power. He couldn’t cast a spell at all.

Damn it, if this goes on, he would…

Aike struggled fiercely, but Lin Nuo gave him no chance.

Die!

Finally, Lin Nuo swung down both swords with ferocity, the Dragon and Phoenix piercing through Aike’s last line of defense!

“Ah!!!”

Aike’s remaining energy surged, and Lin Nuo sensed what was about to happen.

Self-detonation; this was a common tactic among demons.

Boom!

Lin Nuo quickly retreated, even diving down to scoop up Su Kexin, dodging Aike’s final explosion. The sky filled with disordered spirits, and the barrier bound by shackles vanished, allowing Lin Nuo to escape unscathed.

“Finally.”

Watching the aftermath of the explosion, he let out a long sigh. After he placed Su Kexin down, the twin swords slipped from his hands.

At his limit, it was over.

…

…

Time slipped by unnoticed, and when Lin Nuo opened his eyes again, he saw thick black smoke above him, as if in an endless abyss.

Was this death?

But soon, he spotted a familiar face—it was Su Kexin.

“Senior Martial Brother, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death; I thought you… You’re awake, that’s good, that’s good.”

Seeing Lin Nuo regain consciousness, Su Kexin was incredibly excited. However, she merely gently stroked Lin Nuo’s head instead of eagerly hugging him as she usually did.

Lin Nuo realized the current situation—Su Kexin was giving him a knee pillow, gently caressing his head to make him as comfortable as possible.

“Where are we now?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Um… The Demon Realm, I guess? I don’t really know. When I woke up, you were right next to me, and it was pitch black everywhere. It doesn’t matter where we are as long as you’re here.”

Su Kexin continued to stroke Lin Nuo’s head while he lay still, unable to move, but it didn’t seem so bad.
