Chapter 150: Finishing Blow, Fire Burn

Chapter 150: Finishing Blow, Fire Burn

Although Ling Meng acted very assertive, they could still see her weaknesses—she was frail and low on spirit power.

Feigning respect on the surface while harboring hidden agendas, they scouted the situation and then planned to lead her to a certain location to launch an ambush.

The three’s Demon Restraint Formation, combined with other offensive demonic techniques, was enough to eliminate Ling Meng.

However, their plan was abruptly interrupted; one of the disciples didn’t even react in time and was struck by the Paralyzing Needle.

With one of their own down, the Demon Restraint Formation was forcibly shattered.

They pondered who had ruined their plans.

They saw not just one person, but several.

But they all looked exactly the same.

No, rather than identical, they were clones.

A bunch of black scar-faced men suddenly appeared on the scene.

It must be him!

They concluded that the hidden weapon just now was released by this scar-faced man, but their primary mission was to kill Ling Meng. Even if the Demon Restraint Formation was broken, they could still take advantage of her recovery time to finish her off.

The two quickly mobilized their spirit power, Demon Qi swirling in their hands, targeting Ling Meng with a wave of chaotic magical energy.

But in the blink of an eye, Lin Nuo, like the wind, landed beside Ling Meng, scooped her up, gathered strength, and then leaped onto a tree.

Boom! The chaotic magical wave went astray, toppling an entire row of trees!

The battle shifted so fast that Ling Meng hadn’t even processed what happened when she turned to find herself being held by that previously mentioned black-faced man.

“It’s you?!”

“Don’t move if you want to live.”

Lin Nuo said coldly, lifting Ling Meng again and jumping from one tree to another.

Boom!

Once again, the chaotic magical wave was wasted, and another row of trees was devastated.

Using his agile skills, Lin Nuo jumped from tree to tree, rapidly fleeing the scene with Ling Meng in his arms.

“That damn kid, chase him!”

The two Refining Demon Sect disciples were furious. They had finally found an opportunity to strike at Ling Meng, only for this scar-faced man to ruin their perfect plan.

They couldn’t let this failure stand; if Ling Meng survived and returned to the Refining Demon Sect, there would definitely be huge trouble. Their mission was to completely eliminate future threats.

No matter what, they had to catch them!

They swiftly pursued Lin Nuo’s escape direction, but alas, Lin Nuo was like the wind, a master at fleeing; there was no way they could catch up. The distance between them was just right for them to see but not catch up.

That was Lin Nuo’s special skill—distance control.

Keeping a delicate distance allowed them to see, to know where to chase, but just couldn’t catch up.

Seeing the target yet unable to catch it would induce panic, and once panicked, one makes mistakes; mistakes lead to losing one’s wits, and losing one’s wits often results in kneeling.

Boom!

The frustrated disciples were practically driven mad, repeatedly launching waves of chaotic magical energy towards Lin Nuo, transforming into forest destroyers, obliterating everything in their path.

The beasts in the woods fled in terror, and two of the canine guards on the billions project didn’t even have time to react before disappearing.

In this dire situation, Ling Meng wasn’t as anxious or frustrated as before. Initially resistant when Lin Nuo picked her up, she now found herself in a dilemma, unsure who was friend or foe, becoming somewhat gentler.

Why did she survive the previous attack from the priest? Why did her subordinate betray her? Why did this man come to rescue her? All these questions filled her with confusion.

“Stay here and don’t run.”

Lin Nuo set her down, immediately turned back, and sprinted towards the two disciples.

“Where are you going?!”

But Lin Nuo didn’t reply, leaving only a graceful silhouette as he sped towards the two disciples.

The disciples saw Lin Nuo coming and were already prepared to kill him.

“You kill him, I’ll go finish off Ling Meng.”

“Don’t go over there; you’ll both be dead!”

Lin Nuo was already closing in, muttering incantations. In an instant, three stones erupted with spiritual light, forming a triangular formation surrounding the two disciples.

They suddenly realized something was off.

Not good! Those stones were covered in Dao Fu!

When did he place those?! Though he ran fast, he was right in front of us! There was no time for that!

Moreover, if he could get close to Ling Meng, he definitely wasn’t an illusion.

No, he must have placed the Dao Fu first and then lured us here!

The disciples figured it out, but it was too late.

Thunder rumbled through the sky, a streak of lightning flashed, and thunder struck down upon the two disciples!

Boom!

Triangular Dao Fu, Vortex of Thunder—lightning speed change.

Before they could even erect their spirit barriers, they were turned into charred remains.

They were down, the fierce disciples defeated under the onslaught of five thunders.

Of course, Lin Nuo didn’t stop; he finished them off, setting them ablaze, leaving no one behind.

Oh right, there’s one more.

Lin Nuo quickly returned, still able to see the disciple who had been struck by the Paralyzing Needle, a high-level immobilizing weapon causing temporary paralysis and limited movement.

Lin Nuo hit the brakes, splitting himself to deal with the disciple, sword in hand, swinging towards him.

“Heh, let’s die together!”

The disciple noticed his movements were restricted, and with the enemy coming in for an attack, he could only resort to extreme measures—self-detonation.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted, a massive surge of energy radiating outward, the self-destructing disciple vanishing, igniting a fiery blaze in the forest.

This was the style of the Refining Demon Sect—if they couldn’t win, they’d self-destruct, dragging the enemy down with them. If Lin Nuo hadn’t known beforehand, he might have been a goner too.

“Self-detonation, truly disgraceful to demonic arts.”

Lin Nuo tossed a sphere into the sky, which exploded, scattering a heavy powder that fell onto the burning flames, quickly extinguishing them, leaving only some charred ash.

“Good, it’s over.”

In one smooth motion, it was a wrap.

He returned to Ling Meng, who was still full of confusion; however, what she now saw was that her subordinate had tried to kill her, and Lin Nuo had blasted him away.

“What was that just now…?”

Ling Meng, losing her previous bravado, asked softly.

Lin Nuo replied calmly, “Even righteous sects have internal strife; you guys in the Refining Demon Sect are no different. Whenever power and interests are involved, turning against each other and killing is common.”

“Mm…”

Ling Meng understood what Lin Nuo meant but never imagined that internal strife would manifest in her case. Having just taken over leadership of a small faction within the Refining Demon Sect, with many achievements under her belt, there was no reason for the organization to annihilate her.

If that was the case, it would likely be not superiors, but disciples of equal rank.

【Gurgle, gurgle】, her stomach growled again.

“Let’s go back and eat something to fill our stomachs.”

“Why did you save me?”

“Let’s talk more after we’ve eaten.”
