Chapter 297: Die for Me!

Chapter 297: Die for Me!

A man like the wind arrived on the scene, instantly delivering a crushing blow to Lin Fei, accompanied by the sound of the courtyard wall shattering.

Lin Nuo landed in front of Xia Hanmo, staring at his mother, whose skin was torn and bleeding.

A moment too late.

If it had been anyone else, they would have been in a panic, but he had seen enough chaos to know that as long as she was alive, there was a way to handle it.

He said nothing further, first sticking a couple of spirit symbols on Xia Hanmo, then using a wooden stick to sketch the outline of a magic array around her.

The intensity of this Blood Splitting Curse far surpassed that of any common medicinal concoction; it had clearly leveled up, likely due to the accumulation of blood energy.

The kind of medicine Liu Shuqin concocted would probably fall short of eliminating this.

Moreover, using someone else’s medicine made him uneasy—he wouldn’t feel secure even if an Immortal performed the spell.

Removing the Blood Splitting Curse was something that only Lin Nuo could handle.

However, cleansing the curse would take time, which he clearly didn’t have.

Lin Fei, who had just been punched, quickly got back on his feet. His face was a bit swollen, but that was of no concern.

The Bloodwind Spirit was now attached to Lin Fei; while he would feel the pain, a single punch was hardly a big deal for it.

The Bloodwind Spirit locked onto its target: the boy in front of it, Lin Nuo, a prime target for Yu Sha’s annihilation.

Lin Fei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.

He surged toward Lin Nuo, unleashing a blood-clad palm charged with Blood Splitting energy, a fierce attack sending swirling clouds of dust and smoke around.

If someone were to be hit by this blood energy, they’d be afflicted by the Blood Splitting Curse, causing their skin to tear and bleed, requiring immense internal power to overcome, which would likely be a struggle.

Though the Bloodwind Spirit had just been summoned, it was filled with combat experience, implanted by Yu Sha. Its speed was remarkable, and the blood energy spread rapidly.

But Lin Nuo didn’t retreat; he couldn’t let this possessed Lin Fei get close to Xia Hanmo and instead faced him head-on.

In terms of combat experience, Lin Nuo held the upper hand. As for the blood energy attack, he was prepared and had already taken precautions by applying the Dao Fu, which would temporarily resist the blood energy.

The two exchanged blows, with Lin Nuo intentionally keeping Lin Fei from approaching Xia Hanmo, holding back his full power.

Observing that he was losing ground, Lin Fei instinctively shifted his focus toward Xia Hanmo, seeking to take her away by any means.

The blood energy tainted the surrounding trees, flowers, and even the river seemed to be turning red.

The spread of the blood energy affected the spirit symbols on Xia Hanmo and the surrounding magic array; Lin Nuo knew he couldn’t afford to waste time entangled with him any longer.

Lin Fei, possessed, had a crimson blood hand emerge from his back as he fought Lin Nuo, attempting to use the blood hand to capture Xia Hanmo.

But Lin Nuo would not let that happen. Just as Lin Fei’s blood hand reached out toward Xia Hanmo, Lin Nuo seized the opportunity and delivered another powerful punch to him.

With tremendous force, the Bloodwind Spirit was pushed back a good distance.

Lin Nuo surged forward, taking the initiative, quickly channeling his spirit into his hands, and throwing more punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A relentless series of strikes turned Lin Fei’s face red, sending him crashing out of the Lin residence, raising a cloud of dust.

Just as Lin Nuo intended to press the advantage, a black spirit bird swooped down from the sky, unleashing a black shockwave that blocked Lin Nuo’s path.

He recognized the bird; it was the black spirit bird soaring overhead.

To his surprise, it had the gall to dive down and launch an attack.

This assault was no joke—the shockwave tore a massive crack in the ground.

Then it turned to aim a shockwave at Xia Hanmo.

“Damn it.”

Lin Nuo hadn’t expected this bird to act up. It was a bit too awkward to just retreat now.

But at that moment, someone rushed out, brandishing a silver-white sword to block the incoming attack.

When Lin Nuo looked closely, he found it was Su Kexin.

She had been outside assisting with healing; how did she end up back here?

Lin Nuo quickly moved to position himself in front of Xia Hanmo.

“Senior Brother, what happened to Auntie? What’s going on here?”

Su Kexin was clueless about what transpired, but seeing the black bird launching a shockwave, she rushed over to intercept it.

The Phoenix Sword’s power was formidable, and with Su Kexin’s recent improvements, blocking the shockwave was no issue.

“Something big is going on; I don’t have time to explain.”

Lin Nuo still had to protect Xia Hanmo. As time went on, he wasn’t the only one fighting anymore; more and more came to the Lin residence, all in utter shock at the situation.

Many places were destroyed, and numerous people lay on the ground, some afflicted by an even more severe Blood Splitting Curse, including Immortals.

The black bird didn’t pursue its attack further but flew over to Lin Fei, speaking to Lin Nuo:

“Lin Nuo, you can’t save her. She doesn’t have much time left. If you want to ensure her safety, go alone to the forest three miles north of the city. Someone will meet you there for a deal.”

With those words, the wind blood spirit in Lin Fei melded into the black bird, which then shot rapidly into the sky, moving so fast that even mid- to high-level cultivators could not match it on their flying swords.

A deal? Who do you think you are to make demands?

Get down here!

Lin Nuo was furious, clenched his fists. There was no way he could catch the black bird with flying sword techniques; he could only use his mid-air strike skills.

Seeing the black bird ascending higher into the sky and shrinking in his view, Lin Nuo furiously swung his fist at it.

With an unprecedented forceful shockwave bursting forth, it soared through the sky, heading straight for the black bird.

Putting all his might into it, Lin Nuo executed a diagonal strike rather than a vertical one, and astonishingly, it worked! The lightning-fast strike sliced through the air, hitting the black bird!

The black bird hadn’t even reacted, thinking it could safely escape with the Bloodwind Spirit. However, the next moment, it caught a hit from the mid-air strike.

Its protective aura was nothing against such power, completely failing to withstand a blow from the mid-air strike—it disintegrated and plummeted from the sky.

The force of the strike sent everyone nearby staggering backward.

But it wasn’t over yet. As the black bird fell, the Bloodwind Spirit still lingered; it quickly took control of the black bird’s body and soared back into the air.

However, its speed was far inferior to its original form, significantly slower.

“Die for me!”

Lin Nuo launched another mid-air strike, and this time the black bird took another heavy hit. Its body shattered, pieces raining down from the sky.

The Bloodwind Spirit, now without a physical form, slipped into the city, searching for its next host.

It found a suitable target: a girl who had never been afflicted by the Blood Splitting Curse and came from a prestigious family. She would make for an excellent host.

Unaware of the approaching Bloodwind Spirit, Luo Xiaoxue was just about to return and was possessed without realizing it.

Suddenly, a golden light radiated from her.

In an instant, the Bloodwind Spirit was obliterated, leaving not a trace behind.

“What happened?”

Startled by the sudden golden light, Luo Xiaoxue was left bewildered by the turn of events.
