Chapter 419: Like Killing Chickens

Chapter 419: Like Killing Chickens

The friend from the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, Fu, wore a smile mixed with a hint of melancholy.

His goal was to protect this sea domain until the end of his life, but in the end, it was a failure.

This space was about to collapse, and with it, the grand magic array at sea would also fail.

In his helplessness, he felt sentimental, unwilling to leave, like an old man who had stayed in one place for too long and developed an attachment, deciding to sink along with it.

Lin Nuo asked:

“So you plan to share its fate?”

Fu nodded:

“Yes.”

Lin Nuo turned to Yu Long, asking:

“What about you? Aren’t you going back?”

Yu Long, still in the array, shook his head and replied:

“No, it can hold on a while longer. I want to last a bit longer.”

“It’s useless to hold on; it will collapse anyway. Your task is already complete; you can leave.”

“That’s true, but if I stay, the tsunami won’t come just yet. If I give up, it will arrive early. Besides, since I came here, I had no intention of leaving. Brother, you should hurry and get out; this place won’t hold much longer.”

Yu Long forced a smile as he spoke a long paragraph to Lin Nuo, who remained expressionless and coldly replied:

“Suit yourself.”

Then he walked to the edge of the array, taking another look, realizing that this array was still connected to the ocean and was too vast. Although he somewhat understood its layout and principles, without Fu’s powerful spiritual energy to control it, he couldn’t even maintain it himself.

Seeing Lin Nuo stop at the edge, Fu whispered:

“You should leave now. When you’re outside, avoid the Sea Domain Dragon Clan members coming from the sea; they are not ordinary folk. *Cough, cough…*”

Fu spoke seriously, but he was still unwell and coughed a few times.

Lin Nuo knew they weren’t ordinary folk; without his Water Spirit Heart’s assistance, he wouldn’t have been able to smash them so effortlessly.

The space was shaking continuously. Lin Nuo showed no panic, but he couldn’t change anything for now. Staying here was pointless; visiting other places often got him a free meal, but there was no food here.

He softly said:

“I’m going back.”

“Alright.”

Fu responded, then cast a spell, after which Lin Nuo left this place.

Before him was a blinding white, and soon Lin Nuo found himself back at the coast.

The previous entrance was flooded, and the water spirit’s bubble had vanished, leaving only a return to slightly higher ground.

Above, dark clouds loomed ominously, the sea surface rolling with waves that sounded like thunder, as if the waves were beasts ready to spring forth, eyeing the land hungrily.

Gazing into the distance, Lin Nuo realized he came here without changing anything.

He could easily destroy a place, even create a human hell by razing a city, but he couldn’t protect a small village.

It felt somewhat helpless.

Thinking that he was a villain, trapped in the fate of a villain, randomly engaged in some righteous quest to save the world seemed ridiculous.

So, being a villain is the way to go; steadfastly committing to the villainous path for a hundred years was the right choice.

At that moment, Lin Nuo noticed someone floating on the sea. It was Wu Qiong, the dragon leader who had previously entered the other space.

There were originally two others; one was probably heavily injured by Lin, while the other supported him back.

Facing Wu Qiong once again, they didn’t meet face-to-face before launching into a fight, just watching each other.

Wu Qiong conjured what looked like a conch shell horn and raised it to blow a tune.

Lin Nuo recognized this technique; it must be a way to call for allies, signaling his companions.

Thinking that this guy probably wanted to inform his mates on shore.

He might as well have thrown a stone into the sea. Harnessing wind technique to focus his voice, even from a distance, he could convey his words.

He said:

“Stop shouting; all your clan are dead on land.”

Upon hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Wu Qiong’s first reaction was disbelief, thinking he was talking nonsense. How could that be possible? They were proud members of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, surely not all dead.

He didn’t plan to acknowledge the human, but after calling the horn, none of his subordinates returned from the land—no sign, not even a hint.

Strange, could they really have been killed?

But indeed, there was not a single sound. Logically, they should have successfully caused the other space to collapse, and the magic array at sea would disappear. A blast of the horn should bring the land’s clan members back to the ocean.

Yet, none returned!

“Did you do it?!”

Wu Qiong grew furious, recalling that in the other space, this little brat had been heavily injured by his subordinates; the young man was formidable indeed.

Perhaps he really did kill them!

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

Lin Nuo deliberately tilted his ear, expressing utmost disdain and contempt.

“Human, don’t get cocky! I’ll ask you one more time: Did you kill my subordinates?!”

Wu Qiong shouted, and now Lin Nuo heard his voice. Calmly, he replied:

“Yes, like killing chickens.”

Lin Nuo’s utterly dismissive words elevated Wu Qiong’s anger another notch, but Wu Qiong had to remain composed; rashly going ashore to confront this little brat could spell disaster.

After all, the array was about to break, and a tsunami was imminent; this land would be gone.

Wu Qiong laughed loudly:

“Human, perhaps your combat power is strong, but you cannot change the outcome. This place will be swallowed by the tsunami; all this land will be engulfed, everything will turn to ocean. There will be no place for you to stand! Aren’t you feeling hopeless, wanting to protect something only to end up unable to protect anything at all?!”

“It’s fine, I’m just giving it a shot. You flooding this place doesn’t cost me a penny.”

Lin Nuo said, thinking it was time to leave, tired of futility, ready to take his mother and let others fend for themselves.

Since he couldn’t change things, he would witness the moment the tsunami arrived. When the tsunami came, it would signify that his existence had dragged this world into hell a step earlier.

Perhaps amidst the chaos, he would encounter a stroke of luck?

Having been a villain for so long, witnessing disasters often but never seeing a natural tsunami, it might be worth it.

Ready to walk away and find a place to watch the tsunami, he suddenly heard a familiar voice:

“Senior Martial Brother!”

Lin Nuo was startled.

What the heck?

He saw an exceptional figure, Su Kexin!

Who is Su Kexin? An overpowered person capable of reversing every fortune, even going against one hundred enemies and shattering their crystals!

Hey, this isn’t good.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay and wait?” Lin Nuo questioned.

“Uh… It guided me to come here…”

At that moment, Su Kexin produced the Water Spirit Heart.
