Chapter 545: White Smoke Fog Tactics

Chapter 545: White Smoke Fog Tactics

The lurking person was baffled.

What’s up with this guy? Protected by women yet acting so arrogant?

What do you mean the Stolen Saint is dead? Come on, don’t joke around. The Stolen Saint can’t possibly die.

Is this guy just bluffing? Or has he lost his mind? Does he think that saying this will make us back off?

What a delusional thought.

“He’s gone crazy, don’t pay him any mind.”

They weren’t affected by Lin Nuo’s loud shout at all and continued to lurk, making no move.

Meanwhile, Liu Shuqin and the others were still full of confusion.

What’s this Stolen Saint nonsense? What’s this about raiding?

“Junior Martial Brother, who is the Stolen Saint?”

“That guy who just came in.”

Lin Nuo casually pointed at the room inside, and upon hearing this, Liu Shuqin immediately knew who it was.

The one disguised as Junior Martial Brother.

“So, what happened to him?”

“He’s dead, didn’t I say?”

“Dead? You killed him…?”

“Yep, no point in keeping him around to waste rice, right? He’s Tian Nan Dao Sheng, a thief skilled in disguise, always sneaking around to scout and steal. Swift and cunning, a real trickster. Killing him was the only solution.”

Lin Nuo said it as nonchalantly as if he were talking about a chicken. He acted like it was no big deal.

“Did he tell you that himself, Junior Martial Brother?” Liu Shuqin continued to ask.

“Sort of.”

Lin Nuo replied, probably derived from his own speculation and observing the Stolen Saint’s expressions and words.

Seeing the people in the woods remain completely unresponsive, not even stirring a blade of grass, it was clear they weren’t taking him seriously.

Maybe they think their home has security and wouldn’t get raided.

No problem, let’s trap them right here.

“Master, they’ve surrounded our residence. What should we do now?”

As soon as she saw Lin Nuo, Ruo’er blanked out, not needing to think at all, just ready to follow Lin Nuo’s lead.

No need for brilliance; just stick with the right person.

“Let’s play a little with bomb tossing.”

“Bomb tossing? What kind of bomb tossing?” Ruo’er shook her ears in confusion.

“Just like this.”

Lin Nuo pulled out a pineapple-shaped object and aimed it towards the woods ahead.

“Oh right, Ruo’er, make a rain shield around this house first.”

“Master, will it explode? There are so many trees, and what about the little animals inside?”

“It will explode, but not in the way you think. Just follow my lead.”

“Oh, oh~”

Ruo’er hurried back inside, selecting a spot roughly in the center of the house, starting to chant spells.

Quickly, a massive white spiritual shield enveloped the entire house.

This sturdy shield could withstand upper-middle-level explosions. After all, she was worried that her master’s explosive technique was too strong and would blow the house away; she was all in on making it work.

Alright, time to report back to the master~

Then Ruo’er bounced back outside, showing no sense of urgency about the impending threat.

“Master~ It’s done~”

Ruo’er reported obediently to Lin Nuo, who then noticed the protective shield around the house and prepared to take action.

He focused on the woods ahead, searching for a throwing point, charged up, and hurled it in that direction.

The lurking people in the forest realized Lin Nuo was about to throw something, and instinctively thought it must be an explosive device.

“Something’s coming, stop it!”

“Okay.”

They had their own methods to deal with explosives.

As the object was about to land, someone threw out a net to capture it, which could suppress the bomb’s explosion. They had tested it several times, and it worked effectively.

However, they didn’t expect the pineapple-shaped object wouldn’t explode; it merely released a cloud of white smoke, rapidly spreading and obscuring their vision.

They were totally unprepared for this bomb-like object to unleash such a thick fog, and visibility dropped to zero.

They attempted to dispel the smoke using wind techniques, but Lin Nuo was a master of wind techniques himself and naturally knew how to counteract their efforts, rendering their methods ineffective.

“Cover your mouth and nose! Don’t breathe it in!”

Before the smoke could engulf them, someone shouted, and everyone hurried to cover their mouths and noses, retreating.

But suddenly, a kid wearing what looked like a gas mask rushed over.

Bang!

One punch, and down he went.

Bang!

One kick, and another fell.

This was complete suppression; under the cover of smoke, they couldn’t see anything ahead, and Lin Nuo’s surprise attack caught them unprepared.

Lin Nuo wore a mask that allowed him to see through the white smoke, relying on advanced gear to crush his opponents in various environments.

The white smoke caused partial visual obscuration, while the other lurkers had no idea what was happening inside; they didn’t dare rush in.

In front of the house stood three young girls, not moving, seemingly waiting for something.

“Damn, what’s happening in there?”

“No clue, no one’s coming out. Should we rush in?”

“Rush in? Who knows what danger lurks inside.”

They gritted their teeth, unsure of what to do, and didn’t dare to attack the house since it was protected by the spiritual shield and might have traps. After the last hundred people were decimated, they were too scared to rush in.

As they pondered, another pineapple-shaped object flew in, spreading more white smoke that clouded their vision even further.

“Damn, here it comes! Back up, quick!”

They covered their mouths and noses with their clothes and quickly retreated, but Lin Nuo charged in to unleash a flurry of blows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, they fell to Lin Nuo’s heavy strikes. Attacking head-on was challenging in the complex terrain of the woods, but using external objects made it easy to handle.

As the white smoke expanded, even with many people surrounding the house watching, the fact that those trapped inside hadn’t emerged started to panic them.

Did they die in there?

“Not good, he’s coming! Retreat quickly!”

The remaining people had no choice but to flee, engulfed by the smoke, completely unaware of what awaited them.

In a short time, everyone who hadn’t fallen retreated, and those who did were left to Liu’s family to deal with.

After all, they were just low-level henchmen; Lin Nuo couldn’t be bothered to kill them.

All done.

He clapped his hands and pulled out a gourd, chanting to suck all the white smoke into it.

Recycling is key, don’t waste it; this white smoke could be reused.

Retrieving it.

Lin Nuo capped the gourd and returned to the front of the house.

“Here, take this and put it away.”

Lin Nuo handed the gourd and mask to Ruo’er, instructing her to store them in her spirit pouch.

“Got it~”

Ruo’er took out the spirit pouch, which quickly expanded, and carefully stowed them away before it shrank back down.

The perfect travel companion: Ruo’er.

“Good, not bad.”

Lin Nuo praised her.

“Master~ Master~”

Ruo’er squinted her eyes and poked her head toward Lin Nuo, signaling her joy.

Lin Nuo understood and ruffled Ruo’er’s hair.

Ruo’er felt so pleased; after all, this was a special blessing from her master.

Meanwhile, Liu Shuqin and Luo Xiaoxue suddenly felt a bit envious.
