Chapter 58. The Villain’s Frantic Escape Plan

A voice echoed in Lin Nuo’s mind: Give up, Arno, there are Dark Alliance members outside.

But his response was: I refuse.

Although the situation was urgent, he remained unflinching.

He had an idea, a very radical idea.

The girl heard the commotion outside and grew increasingly anxious, yet Lin Nuo’s silence only added to her panic.

She had no clue where this was or how she got here, everything was fuzzy, and with the sudden noise outside, it was impossible for her not to feel afraid.

“Cough cough… Young master, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me…”

“There are evil forces outside. If either of us gets caught, it’s going to be disastrous. You’ll be sold to a poor mountainous area, and I’ll be sold as a laborer.”

“Ah? What should we do…”

“Do you want to go outside?”

“Go outside from here? Of course, I want to.”

“I can take you out, but you have to listen to me.”

Lin Nuo pulled out a Meat Floss Cake from another pocket and tossed it to the girl.

“Eat this to replenish your strength.”

“Oh oh.”

The moment she saw the Meat Floss Cake, her eyes lit up; actually, she didn’t even need Lin Nuo to say anything. Starving, she immediately began to munch on it.

Ah, so delicious~ I want more~

However, the taste felt a bit strange, like it was mixed with something.

“You carry my bundle, and I’ll carry you as we dash out.”

“Dash out? Is that really possible?”

“Absolutely, hurry up.”

Lin Nuo set the bundle down next to him and slightly crouched, turning his back to the girl.

After hesitating, she figured she had no better option and could only trust Lin Nuo.

As a princess of the Puhan Dynasty, putting her life in the hands of a stranger she had just met was quite a crazy decision.

But at this moment, she found this young master Lin to be quite reliable. While chaos erupted outside, he remained as calm as still water.

She quickly hoisted Lin Nuo’s bundle onto her back and climbed onto him.

As a royal, only her father and mother ever had the right to carry her, but now that danger loomed, she didn’t care about such formalities.

His back felt so warm; perhaps it was because she was cold from hunger and weakness.

She felt like a block of ice on his back. Would he mind?

At that moment, Lin Nuo’s lips curled into a cold smile, ready to execute his wild escape plan.

Typically, a villain would take Luo Yi hostage to escape or just recklessly charge out, which was the typical route for such villains in any story or drama, leading to a swift demise.

But Lin Nuo was an exceptional world-destroying villain. Though his power had weakened since his rebirth, he still possessed a clever mind and extraordinary courage.

An excellent villain, when besieged, could not only escape but ensure that everyone else perished, destroying everything he left behind without a trace.

The way to meet this criteria was…

Explosions!

As long as he blew this place up, that group outside would be sent to the skies.

Of course, he wouldn’t use the Black Scale Stone for the explosion. The conditions to trigger it were exceedingly harsh—extremely high temperature combined with continuous infusions of spiritual energy were necessary to set off the explosion, and the destructive power would devastate the forest. Even if the conditions were met, he wouldn’t use it. That would be a suicide mission for a brain-dead villain, plus he needed to save the Black Scale Stone to deal with the protagonist Su Kexin. Coming to You City was precisely for that.

What he intended to blow up was this Small Warehouse. Inside were some magical items and rare forbidden materials, and if he planted explosives here, a small explosion could trigger a chain reaction. The mixed Demon Qi combined with the crystals rich in spiritual energy, once triggered, could lead to devastation for miles around.

Carrying Luo Yi, he would cause an explosion here, then using her self-preservation ability, when threatened, a burst of power would protect them from the explosive shockwave.

But this explosion would be extremely violent. While she would protect herself, the strong shockwave would surely throw them apart. Lin Nuo planned to use this shockwave to propel himself upwards, escaping the pursuit of the Dark Alliance members or cultivators. If he tried to fly away on his sword, he would definitely be caught, and his combat strength would only weaken further in the sky.

Using Luo Yi’s body to withstand the explosion, leveraging the shockwave to ascend, and then descending using sword flight—all in one smooth motion.

Considering Luo Yi’s cold and fragile state, he had deliberately added a forbidden pill to the Meat Floss Cake, the Fury Pill, a drug similar to a stimulant that would induce a temporary state of excitement in the user, forcibly unlocking their potential, although with significant side effects.

For a noble young lady like Luo Yi, after going home and seeing a doctor for some recovery, she would be fine. The aftereffects might leave her feeling uncomfortable for a while, but she wouldn’t die—just a few lingering side effects.

As long as Luo Yi was in an excited state, her self-protection ability would resist the powerful blast; otherwise, both of them would literally be sent to the skies.

However, he found it strange that Luo Yi’s body was still cold. It really felt like carrying a block of ice.

Never mind, let’s go, to hell with it.

With that, he jumped onto the roof while carrying Luo Yi.
