Chapter 19. Lin Nuo Senior Brother Saves You
Lin Nuo felt the head of the Demon Sect had lost his mind, babbling nonsense.
It wasn’t even dark yet, and he hadn’t had a drink — what was this guy talking about?
“I’ve lost completely, you can kill me now.”
Kill you? Why should I, Lin Nuo, care if you live or die?
Do you take me for a fool? What kind of dirty tricks are you trying here, Demon Sect? You think I’d fall for that?
Lin Nuo ignored him and turned his gaze toward Su Kexin. With those two idiots finished fighting, the Demon Qi dissipated, and Su Kexin’s second burst of power also calmed down.
Alright, a quiet kill, and the protagonist ascends to heaven.
Nobody left could stop her now; Su Kexin was definitely going to die today! Even Jesus wouldn’t help her, I swear!
With victory in his grasp, Lin Nuo concealed his dagger and approached Su Kexin.
Confirming her explosive state had ended, now was indeed the perfect opportunity to end her.
Goodbye, Su Kexin.
Just as Lin Nuo was about to strike, an overwhelming presence approached.
“Lin Nuo, my child!”
“Junior Martial Brother!”
“Lin Nuo Senior Brother!”
At this moment…
From the south, Elder Yuan flew over with light steps.
From the east, Liu Shuqin leapt through the trees toward him.
From the north, Zhao Yuedong and disciples from various sects rushed in from the woods.
From the west, several Taoist priests descended on their swords.
People from all directions were arriving; there were witnesses everywhere.
What the heck?
Lin Nuo was dumbfounded.
Dozens of eyes were on him, and any action would be exposed.
“Sigh.”
Lin Nuo sheathed his dagger, halting his assassination attempt.
Otherwise, if he stabbed her in front of so many people, he’d surely be labeled as a Demon Sect spy and imprisoned, sealed his fate.
Seeing the corpses scattered around and the nearby wilted trees left everyone astonished, unable to imagine what intense battle had taken place here.
“Everyone, let’s save the survivors first.”
Elder Yuan called out loudly, then walked over to Lin Nuo.
“Child, are you alright?”
Lin Nuo stared blankly.
Alright? The protagonist didn’t die; this is a big deal! Damn old man.
Seeing Lin Nuo was unharmed, Elder Yuan felt relieved, while others helped the weak Su Kexin.
“Demon Sect, Du Xu?”
Elder Yuan noticed Du Xu struggling while holding his chest, and his expression turned serious.
He quickly ran over, seriously saying, “Du Xu, your Demon Sect has committed numerous evils, slaughtered the innocent. Now you have nowhere to run; you reap what you’ve sown!”
“Hehe, Elder Yuan, what are you pretending for? If you had come earlier, I would have killed you already.”
Du Xu suddenly laughed maniacally, blood continuously oozing from his mouth.
“All you cultivators, listen! I didn’t lose to you bunch of useless fools, but to him, Lin Nuo!”
After his wild declarations, Du Xu took his own life.
Lin Nuo was stunned; so he just dies like that? Why did he have to say my name?
The Demon Sect’s assassination plan had completely failed. Elder Yuan and the others felt a sense of urgency to rescue the surviving disciples. Many were merely weak from blood loss or unconscious and could still be saved.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it — these Demon Sect disciples were all killed by the Great Warrior Lin!”
“Yeah, we just saw him against so many Demon Sect disciples from a distance.”
“Even the vicious Du Xu admits defeat to him.”
“The most unbelievable part is that he didn’t sustain a single injury!”
…
Everyone discussed Lin Nuo in awe, as he single-handedly annihilated all the disciples without a scratch, inspiring deep respect.
“Young brother, I’m really grateful you saved my disciples,” an elderly man with white hair, surnamed Wang, shook Lin Nuo’s hand excitedly.
“I didn’t save them.”
“No need for modesty, young brother! I just faintly saw from a distance you battling the Demon Sect disciples, then that seriously wounded Du Xu kept saying he lost to you; no one would doubt your strength.”
“…”
No, no! Please doubt a bit! How in the world could I defeat so many Demon Sect disciples by myself?
“Child, I also faintly saw you engaged in fierce battle with the Demon Sect disciples. You must have worked hard; you all should head back first, the rest we will handle,” Elder Yuan patted Lin Nuo’s shoulder.
Lin Nuo: “…”
Why do I feel like this isn’t good…
…
Candle Star Town, Wen Ting District.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Kexin woke up, realizing she was lying on a strange bed.
“Where is this?”
She quietly asked, slightly propping herself up.
“You’re awake! Here, I made you some porridge; eat a bit first.”
Sitting nearby was Zhao Yuedong, bringing Su Kexin a bowl of plain porridge.
Su Kexin, puzzled, asked, “Yuedong, where are we?”
Zhao Yuedong smiled, “This is the residence provided to us by the town chief of Candle Star Town. You fainted, so you’re recovering here for now. When you passed out, your condition was weak, but then your recovery speed was astonishing. The doctor said you’re fine; just dress your wounds and get some rest.”
I fainted?
Su Kexin tried to recall, remembering that she had been surrounded by a group of black-clad Demon Sect disciples, and that spy Xu Yudong had attempted to kill her.
“I… I actually didn’t die… but I was so injured back then…”
“You must thank Senior Brother Lin for that; he bravely went to save you,” Zhao Yuedong chuckled.
