Chapter 60. The Lonely Man and Woman Soaring Together

Not far away, a silver-haired girl witnessed this surprising scene.

Lin Nuo, who was carrying the princess on his back, surprisingly exploded the Small Warehouse, triggering an explosion that shook the mountains and rivers.

Qin Shili, from a prominent family, had seen the princess before and recognized her.

“Is he insane? Is he really going to die together with them?”

As the intense bomb blast surged towards her, she quickly erected an ice wall and hurriedly retreated. The ice wall couldn’t withstand the blast and was completely destroyed, but thankfully, she managed to retreat to safety after it crumbled.

Before her was a sea of flames, devoid of life.

She never expected Lin Nuo to go to such extremes; she thought if the enemy was too strong, she would lend a hand, but he chose the radical path of self-destruction by detonating himself along with the enemies.

This wasn’t just any explosion; she could sense the powerful Demon Qi. There must have been a large amount of magical energy mixed in that Small Warehouse, and that explosive force was so great that if she hadn’t retreated in time, she could have been in mortal danger.

This must have been the result of the Black Scale Stone’s explosion, but did he buy the Black Scale Stone just to perish with the enemy?

Those Dark Alliance members surrounding him were reduced to ashes, the flames consumed the jungle, leaving devastation in their wake.

She couldn’t see a single person—there were no living beings.

“He’s done for.”

Looking at the sea of flames, Qin Shili concluded that Lin Nuo, being so close to the source of the explosion, would undoubtedly be reduced to nothingness. Even she found it difficult to ensure her survival close to the blast. She couldn’t think of any reason why Lin Nuo could possibly survive.

Moreover, there were no signs of life remaining.

“It seems he is just a reckless fool. How could Dao Yuan-senpai willingly get close to him?”

Qin Shili’s expression was icy; ever since Lin Nuo’s mysterious exploits during the Wind Sea Forest trial, she had begun to pay attention to him. Upon hearing that Zhi Shu Ge’s Dao Yuan Spirit Cat was willing to approach him, she found this man intriguing, sure he had remarkable talents. She had found out he went to the Black Market to buy Black Scale Stones and wanted to see what he would do next; however, he ended up detonating them in a mutual destruction plan with the enemies.

There were far wiser methods available; at the very least, he could have used thick smoke to confuse the enemies, and then slipped away, or stalled the enemies with words before launching a surprise attack. But to detonate it directly? Such a decision was hard to fathom.

While Lin Nuo had also exterminated a Heavenly Beast in his last trial just like her, she had never felt that he was more astute than she. It was already difficult for her to escape from a situation so close to an explosion, and Lin Nuo was also burdened with the princess—having an extra load made it impossible for him to survive, let alone leave behind a complete corpse.

It’s best to return and pretend this never happened.

As the flames raged, Qin Shili retracted her icy grip and turned to vanish among the trees.

In the sky, amidst the clouds, a certain handsome guy was still charging forward.

Of course, he was charging skyward.

[This is absurd!]

Lin Nuo was relieved to have escaped with his life, but he was now faced with another daunting problem.

Propelled by the violent explosion, they shot skyward, but according to the laws of physics, under the constraints of gravity and atmospheric resistance, their ascent speed would gradually decrease until they reached the apex and began to descend.

Theoretically, this was true, but Lin Nuo had no idea when this apex would arrive; they just kept shooting up without stopping.

He seriously suspected that Luo Yi’s halo not only resisted the explosive force but also the resistance itself. At this rate, wouldn’t they end up in the stratosphere?

Good grief, they say it’s the stratosphere, but he was heading straight toward the physical atmosphere, fast-forwarding into outer space from a fantasy world to a sci-fi world—a miraculous ascent!

But impressive as it was, he didn’t want to die just yet; the main character Su Kexin was still alive, and he needed to return to build up the opposing alliance!

However, there was no stopping; he couldn’t halt their ascent. Inside the halo, he couldn’t even feel the icy chill and raging winds of high altitudes.

It was true; the Black Market didn’t peddle fakes—this Burning Explosion Pill was indeed potent—perhaps even overly so, since Luo Yi’s self-preservation ability had reached a godlike level.

If he had this ability, would he have been stabbed by Su Kexin back then? Wouldn’t that just mean he had an invincible body, ready to retaliate?

Why hadn’t he discovered this rare specimen named Luo Yi before?

“Lin Gongzi, where are we now?”

“Open your eyes and see for yourself.”

“Hmm…”

Luo Xiaoxue gently opened her eyes and saw white misty clouds flashing by her.

Instinctively, she looked down and saw a tiny earth below, the mountains sprawling for miles, resembling a corner of a map spread beneath her.

Ah, are we in the sky?!

Realizing this, Luo Xiaoxue panicked and quickly buried her head against Lin Nuo’s back, tightly hugging him.

She was afraid of heights, terrified even on tall buildings, let alone being at an altitude of tens of thousands of feet; her heart raced in fear of falling.

Suddenly, Luo Xiaoxue’s emotions surged, the halo they were in experienced violent turbulence and began to rapidly fracture.

In no time, it split apart.

Then, Lin Nuo also broke apart.

The howling winds of high altitude chilled them to the bone; after soaring through the skies, they finally ran out of steam.

And then came the nosedive.

“Ah!!!”

The screams of a man and a woman echoed in the sky, with Lin Nuo recalling the terror of being dominated by roller coasters from years past.
