Chapter 612: The Sudden Demon Bullet

Chapter 612: The Sudden Demon Bullet

This old master, Mu Yuanfeng, sure had a tough time. His lavish birthday banquet almost turned into a funeral feast, as the grand dining hall was thrown into chaos—like a scene straight out of a bad comedy, with dishes flying and people running around like headless chickens.

Tragic! A birthday turned into a day of mourning, and after living most of his life, he might not even get to enjoy his old age!

The old man was covered in dust and had wounds all over his body, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. If he hadn’t noticed in time, he might’ve been crushed under falling rocks—or worse, buried alive!

But this old guy had some fight left in him! He was a martial artist, and even ten beefy dudes stacking on top of him wouldn’t take him down.

Mu Yuanfeng slowly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, only to see Ni Daye crouching right in front of him.

So he wasn’t dead yet—the earlier chaos didn’t claim his life after all.

“Survival means good fortune awaits!” he thought. The heavens wouldn’t extinguish Mu Yuanfeng; there must be something he needed to accomplish!

Seeing that crouching boy staring at him, he hurriedly said, “You! Quickly, lift the rocks off me!”

This old man, completely pinned down, was still trying to act tough like he was some big boss!

“Do you recognize me?”

“You’re from Helong Hall, my subordinate.”

“Looks like you really are a busy guy. You forgot so quickly, huh? Must be that last test messed with your head.”

“You… who are you?”

A name floated into Mu Yuanfeng’s mind—a rather odd one that sounded a bit insulting.

“You are the one—”

“Yes, I am Ni Daye. Hear me clearly: Ni Daye!”

Lin Nuo raised his voice on purpose, ensuring Mu Yuanfeng heard it loud and clear. He leaned closer and whispered, “I’m your grandpa,” which was a juicy provocation.

“You’re one of Yiting’s subordinates, right? If you save me, I will reward you.”

“Forget about rewards! Don’t hand me a blank check! Let’s make a deal: hand over the ‘Heaven’s Rainbow Secret Method’ and the ‘Secret Realm Map,’ or consider your old life forfeit.”

Lin Nuo sneered, like a monkey being pressed down by a five-finger mountain, while he toyed with Mu Yuanfeng, leaving him seething.

Mu Yuanfeng’s people started gathering around, and he noticed, saying, “Are you threatening me, young man?”

“Clearly! What, should I be polite?”

“Listen here, I’m still the original master of Helong Hall. That way will bring you trouble. And your engagement with Mu Yiting? Forget about it!”

While talking, Mu Yuanfeng was stalling for time, as his subordinates slowly neared Lin Nuo, planning to ambush him.

But Lin Nuo was the villain, so he had enough awareness to sense their approach.

He grabbed a rock, lifted it menacingly towards Mu Yuanfeng’s head without looking away from the others, saying coldly, “Get any closer and he’s done for. Don’t think you’re clever.”

With that, the subordinates hesitated to advance, afraid Lin Nuo would smash Mu Yuanfeng’s head in.

Taking advantage of the chaos was Lin Nuo’s specialty; if he didn’t make his move now while they were weak, he didn’t deserve the name Ni!

“Calm down, kid. We can discuss this. Why do you want those two items?”

“That’s none of your concern. Just tell me, yes or no?”

Lin Nuo was direct. Instead of babbling, he knew even as a subordinate, this old man would just gobble up any credit he made.

Just be straight with me, old timer!

“I have to go get them, but in this condition, I can’t.”

“Have your subordinates do it. I can wait.”

“They don’t know where they are; I have to go myself, so you’ll need to lift the rocks off us.”

Mu Yuanfeng suspected this kid was trying to exploit the situation for treasures, a typical move for someone blinded by greed.

He figured he could play along for now, then seize an opportunity to subdue him later.

“Alright.”

He needed to keep this old geezer alive; otherwise, he wouldn’t get his hands on those goodies.

Lin Nuo started to lift the rocks off Mu Yuanfeng, getting halfway when the old man sighed in relief, at least not crushed by the giant stone anymore.

However, just as Lin Nuo was about to lift it completely, his instincts kicked in.

He let go of the rock, which crashed back down with a thud onto Mu Yuanfeng, causing him considerable pain.

This brat was playing him, wasn’t he?

Before Mu Yuanfeng could scold him, Lin Nuo swiftly exited the scene.

Just then, a demon bullet fell from the sky, striking the Mu residence!

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed, smoke billowing into the air, and the stench of fiery destruction engulfed everything as lives were snuffed out!

A powerful wave of Demon Qi surged forth, causing flowers and trees outside to wilt—life drained away.

Lin Nuo retreated from the blast, moving several miles back just in case.

Perhaps he was too cautious; this demon bullet didn’t have the strength to cause a widespread explosion—just a localized blast.

Those demon bullets could only have been fired by the Refining Demon Sect!

The smoke was heavy; Lin Nuo couldn’t see who was behind it, but he needed to circle around for a better look at who was involved.

Outside the smoke, another boy in a dark purple cloak stood nearby, flanked by some acolytes dressed in purple robes.

“They should all be dead,” the boy exhaled, releasing a puff of air after using some high-level Demon Power, managing his excess energies.

“Tripping over one Helong Hall while making a hasty retreat, Ling Yuan and his crew really are pathetic. That daughter of his they hyped up in the sect? Not so impressive after all.”

The boy disdainfully remarked, finding it absurd that something so simple had to be done so clumsily, running away in such a hysterical manner.

In an instant, he sensed someone watching from the shadows. Without making a big deal, he simply flicked his hand, sending a demon bullet toward the observer’s location.

It was a small explosion that dispersed the smoke, but the boy realized the hidden observer had escaped unharmed.

“Impressive, quick reaction. But…”

He shot another demon bullet in a different direction, having sensed where the observer was lingering.

Boom! Boom!

“Still managed to evade? How about this?”

Predicting where the observer would move next, he fired off another series of demon bullets, causing more explosions, sending thick smoke bursting out to mask everyone’s sight.

Yet, the hidden observer still wasn’t captured. Just then, another boy came into view, arms crossed, one foot planted on a raised pillar.

“Looks like that’s about it,” Lin Nuo shook his head, critiquing the whole mess.
