Chapter 300: Crushing the Opposition
Under Lin Nuo’s calm demeanor, all the blood hands shattered.
This was a shocking turn of events for Yu Sha, a surprise that felt like a thousand years of impact.
He had worked with several sorcerers to set up this formation, and those blood hands were strengthened by it—how could they just suddenly disappear?
He even felt the ground quake violently, as if the crimson blood marks on the earth were being suppressed, gradually retreating.
Impossible! How could this happen?
With alarm, Yu Sha realized that no matter how hard he tried to channel his spirit energy, he couldn’t expand the blood stains any longer, let alone summon the blood hands again.
The blood marks turned black and then transformed into multiple black dragon souls.
Completely reversed, within this magic array, it seemed like Yu Sha was in command, but in an instant, it became Lin Nuo’s stage.
Every blood hand was replaced by Lin Nuo’s black dragon souls.
The atmosphere in the array grew heavier and more oppressive, but for Lin Nuo, this environment was perfectly suited for him.
Outside the formation, the sorcerers struggled to maintain the situation, as the array no longer operated as they had intended.
This was the first time they had faced such a situation in a long time.
What was happening inside the array was utterly astonishing.
Everything was spiraling out of control.
Amid Yu Sha’s shock, anger simmered within him—this was his meticulously arranged formation with the sorcerers, how could this brat mess it up?
Die!
Yu Sha gathered all his spirit energy into his palm and, in a furious strike, unleashed a surge of powerful blood energy at Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo showed no sign of panic, raised the long sword embedded in the earth, and with a dismissive flick, all the blood energy dissipated.
And now it’s your turn.
Lin Nuo shifted his feet slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he burst forward right in front of Yu Sha.
His speed was as fast as lightning—no, even faster!
Yu Sha reacted quickly, realizing Lin Nuo was charging at him. Having activated his blood shield defense before the attack, it was too late to dodge, he could only brace himself.
Lin Nuo swung down with his long sword, striking Yu Sha as the blood shield shattered, the sharp sword cleaving Yu Sha in two.
Not only that, the path of the blade gouged out a massive ravine, shaking the jungle as if a landslide had occurred.
Yu Sha was split in two, but the halves turned to blood and retreated swiftly, merging back into his original form.
The separation and merging of blood was an advanced blood technique; to completely eliminate a blood technique user, one needed to kill them thrice in quick succession.
However, before Yu Sha could collect himself, Lin Nuo charged at him again.
Once more, the long sword swung down, creating another long ravine as Yu Sha was again cleaved in two, scattering into red blood once more.
What is happening?
Lin Nuo’s power was truly astonishing, catching him completely off guard. In this brief skirmish, he had no means to counterattack.
Outside the array, the sorcerers were frantically casting spells, and the array showed some signs of reactivation as a few blood hands reappeared, but in the next moment, they were devoured by the black dragon souls.
Yu Sha had no choice, he’d been struck twice in quick succession, and if he was hit again, he would truly be finished.
The blood reformed into Yu Sha’s shape, and he quickly leapt backward to escape.
Retreat, I must retreat!
“Assist me in leaving!”
Yu Sha’s voice reached the sorcerers, who hurried to cooperate, employing various spirit techniques in an attempt to stall Lin Nuo.
However, before their spells could manifest, Lin Nuo again charged at Yu Sha.
“Goodbye.”
With cold words spoken at a shocking speed, that sharp sword was like the reaper’s scythe, while Yu Sha stood on the edge of the abyss.
“No, no!”
Never had he felt such terror, his voice hoarse with fright; just as he called out, Lin Nuo’s sharp sword came crashing down.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound erupted as a long ravine cleaved the mountain in two.
The blood that formed Yu Sha scattered everywhere, unable to merge again, the dispersed red blood became a feast for the black dragon souls, quickly consumed.
Then, the magic array under Lin Nuo’s feet shattered, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of energy that shocked the sorcerers into disarray.
Bang!
Under the force of tremendous energy, the sorcerers were injured and sent tumbling dozens of meters away.
“Retreat, we must retreat!”
The sorcerers were now in a panic; Yu Sha had been obliterated by Lin Nuo, and if they didn’t leave, they would surely be next.
The sorcerers hurriedly summoned a teleportation portal to escape, but they couldn’t all get away in time; some were still cleaved down by Lin Nuo.
Those who died perished, and those who fled hurriedly scattered. Even the fierce beasts were so terrified by Lin Nuo’s overwhelming strength that they ran chaotically, colliding with each other, causing chaos.
The thicket was cleaved into separate parts, a single sword creating great chasms—truly astounding.
Everything fell silent as the wind blew warmly.
Then, Lin Nuo collapsed.
The side effects of the Fury Pill had caused a brief surge in strength, but now he faced several days of fatigue.
There was no choice; without this trick, he couldn’t possibly fight Yu Sha and maintain the magic array—it would take hundreds of pills for Lin Nuo to survive.
Moreover, after healing Xia Hanmo in the city, Lin Nuo had truly expended a significant amount of energy and could barely stand before collapsing.
He miscalculated; he thought he could return to the city and crash later, but he ended up collapsing right there.
Battling Yu Sha had taken time as well; after all, this blood technique required three strikes, which was exhausting.
As the magic array dissipated, neither those inside nor outside the city were aware of what had transpired within, but they could guess there had been a titanic battle.
Inside the city, Qin Shili detected the magic array had vanished and headed out as she had promised Lin Nuo she would come to bring him back. However, she didn’t fully believe it; she was mainly curious to witness Lin Nuo’s prowess.
Outside the city, a group of people noticed a powerful surge of energy flowing and vanishing suddenly.
“Young master, there was a strong surge of Demon Qi, and now it’s just…gone.”
“I know.”
Ling Meng, who had been poised for action, sensed the sudden emergence and equally abrupt disappearance of that Demon Qi-without any warning.
Ling Meng had been concerned about the sorcerers’ formation, so she hadn’t ventured that way; however, once she felt that surge of Demon Qi, she realized the array seemed to have dissipated.
What was that Demon Qi?
She didn’t know, but she was curious about why it had appeared and disappeared so strangely.
“I need to go see just who this is.”
Ling Meng said, resolved to investigate the scene herself.
In no time, she arrived on site and discovered a boy lying there.
A familiar boy, a face she had longed for, how could she forget it?
“Master, it’s Master!”
Ling Meng’s excitement surged, and she was about to rush over when suddenly, several ice spikes flew out, which she quickly absorbed using a whirlpool.
“Don’t get close to him, Demon Disciple, or I’ll kill you.”
At that moment, a silver-haired girl descended gracefully to the ground.
