Chapter 169: They Killed the Poison Bee!

Chapter 169: They Killed the Poison Bee!

Lin Nuo heard a loud boom and saw a petty thug go flying a hundred meters away, leaving a bloody trail in the dust.

It was ridiculously strong; he had just thought he had bounced the guy around like a feather with his spirit waves, but suddenly, one person struck below and sent that dog of a thug scrambling.

Where did that palm come from?

Oh, got it.

Looking down, he spotted a girl clad in a light gray cloak.

Crap, it’s Ling Meng.

She turned with a smile and waved, “Master, Master!”

Like a lively and innocent little girl, she excitedly bounced up and down seeing her dear master.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Sure enough, you can’t generalize about people.

While he’d fought that thug for what felt like three hundred rounds, managing only to exploit a tiny flaw with a Face-breaking Fist that sent him crashing to the ground—

Ling Meng took him out in one go.

Holy heavens, you’re way too strong! When did you reclaim your Demon Queen powers?

Lin Nuo glanced around and realized the scene was absolute chaos.

He had only meant to teach that punk a lesson, but who knew the thug had some skills too? After a hundred rounds, they had caused harm to innocent citizens, with the street and buildings facing the brunt of the damage.

Their tussle hadn’t even involved any devastating moves, yet Ling Meng’s single palm strike launched him a hundred meters away, demolishing walls and causing massive destruction along the path.

What was terrifying was that Ling Meng seemed entirely unfazed, thinking it perfectly normal to send someone flying and wreck the houses and stalls along the way.

No wonder she’s a Demon Path goddess; she probably wouldn’t flinch even if she killed someone.

So here came the problem—they had become the hot topic of a gang feud and also the destroyers of the Earth and property.

Suddenly, the city’s soldiers arrived; after all, this wasn’t a trivial matter. Their fight had thrown the entire street into chaos, with citizens panicking, resulting in trampling and collisions—an extremely negative impact.

Lin Nuo had hoped to grab a few things and make his escape, but instead, it turned into a big mess.

“Master, what do we do now? Should we fight our way out?”

“Not yet, let’s observe first. If they force an attack, then we’ll strike back.”

A group of soldiers brandishing blades rushed over, surrounding Lin Nuo and Ling Meng. They were wary of Lin Nuo and Ling Meng’s strength and didn’t dare make a move.

“You’ve killed someone and disrupted the order in the city; you’ve already violated the laws here and should come with us for trial,” the leading soldier said sternly.

“You say we killed someone—who did we kill?” Lin Nuo shot back.

“These civilians are your victims,” the soldier pointed at the bodies lying on the ground.

Lin Nuo chuckled, “Well, to be fair, that was that guy’s doing.”

“What’s going on?”

Suddenly, the soldiers parted to make way for a gallant general clad in armor, holding a spear as he strode in.

“Reporting, General! These two engaged in a fierce battle with another man, slaughtering innocent citizens and damaging the street and residences. As you can see, the devastation here is their doing,” the lead soldier respectfully reported.

The armored general surveyed the scene, his expression turning grave as he realized a brutal fight had taken place.

Ling Meng was furious; how dare these people block them and talk about capturing them for trial? She longed to use her newly learned Earth Wind technique to sweep them all up and show Lin Nuo her cultivation accomplishments.

Of course, Lin Nuo repeatedly patted her shoulder, urging her not to be impulsive. To be a great villain, one must remain calm. Just jumping into a fight against so many soldiers—even with recent reinforcements of powerful fighters—was no small feat.

As the soldiers talked, Lin Nuo looked for an escape route. For example, after Ling Meng used Earth Wind to sweep up these soldiers, where could they flee the fastest?

Got it, first whip up the Earth Wind, then use his Shadow Clone technique to confuse them, and dash toward the western city gate. If the guards tried to stop them, he’d have Ling Meng clear the area with her magic wave.

Perfect, ready to make a move.

The armored general didn’t immediately order the capture of Lin Nuo and the others; first, he needed to assess the condition of that one fellow who had fought with them.

He strode over to the fallen Poison Bee to gauge the situation. That guy’s organs had been shattered, and with excessive blood loss, he was dead—no way to revive him.

On the surface, he didn’t seem badly hurt, indicating he must have died from some powerful internal injury caused by a potent technique.

The bloody trail over a hundred meters showcased how brutal things had been.

“General, here’s what we found on this man; please take a look.”

The examining soldier presented several important items to the general: an assassination list, hidden weapons, sharp blades, and a killer’s badge—proof from the recently deceased Poison Bee.

The general took a look and couldn’t help but be shocked.

“This… this can’t be real…?!”

His hand trembled as he held the assassination list, his gaze shifting to Lin Nuo and the others.

“They… they actually managed to kill him?!”

“Sir, who exactly is this person?”

“Poison Bee! The notorious killer operating rampantly in the city! The hidden weapons and killer’s badge, along with the assassination list, confirm it! General Li and General Guan have fallen victim to him—their names are right here, and the last one left is Lin Nuo. Who would have thought this Poison Bee had set his sights on our esteemed hero, Lin!”

The general grew increasingly agitated. The death of the Poison Bee wasn’t just news; this guy had taken down countless elite generals, cultivators, and pillars of the nation. He was a malignant tumor of the Pu Han Empire, and many wished to slay him, with countless lives lost in the attempt.

Now that this tumor was gone, the countless heinous deeds had finally seen retribution!

At that moment, two young women in white garments floated down from the sky.

Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin, upon hearing about the gang feud in the city, rushed to the scene, only to find it had already concluded.

“Marshal, what’s the situation?” Liu Shuqin inquired.

“Miss Liu, good news! The Poison Bee has finally been killed! Here are the items found on him, please take a look.”

The general politely handed over the items to Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin. As Liu Shuqin examined the assassination list, she noticed only Lin Nuo’s name remained, instantly infuriating her.

“He actually listed my junior in his assassination targets?!”

“No way, he was after my senior! Ah, it’s true!”

Su Kexin also spotted Lin Nuo’s name, her hatred for the Poison Bee intensifying, wishing she could incinerate his corpse and scatter his ashes.

Yet, as a Xuanyun Sect disciple, she had to maintain her composure.

“Did you kill him?” Liu Shuqin asked.

“Not us; it was those two experts,” the general pointed towards Lin Nuo and Ling Meng.
