Chapter 613: Let Me Teach You

After a cloud of thick smoke dispersed, Lin Nuo appeared before the gathered Demon Disciples.

He was a nimble villain, dodging their attacks with ease, even though the Opponent reacted quickly and even made some predictions.

In truth, he was merely playing along, deliberately moving in the direction pointed out by the Opponent, giving them a glimmer of hope so they could feel skilled.

“You’ve got decent skills. Looks like you’ve been spying on us, but just so you know, I held back earlier.”

“I held back a leg too—did you not see I’m standing on one foot?”

Lin Nuo balanced effortlessly on a pillar, showing no signs of losing his balance whatsoever.

Then the pillar fell.

When it did, one would think the boy standing on it would prepare to land, but instead, he maintained that single-foot stance as if he were still on the pillar.

“Impressive lightness skill.”

“Not quite. I’m actually standing on another pillar, but only the clever ones can see that.”

Lin Nuo said with a serious expression, implying that his opponent was foolish.

No need for dirty words; the Chi of Zuan is in full swing.

“Who are you? A Helong Hall person?”

“Whoever you think I am, that’s who I am. If you think I’m not, then I’m not.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

The Demon Sect youth fumed at the garbled words being thrown at him, clearly meant to belittle him.

“Speak in human language.”

Lin Nuo replied nonchalantly, “Too bad you can’t understand.”

“Stop being so arrogant!”

Infuriated, the Demon Sect youth unleashed several dark, colossal demon hands from behind himself, launching them at Lin Nuo.

With a swift motion, Lin Nuo created multiple clones, maneuvering them like pets on a leash, evading the grasping hands that spun in vain.

Fuming, the Demon Sect youth detonated one of the demon hands, causing a wave of shadows to vanish, then blew up another hand, dissipating another wave, until all the shadows were gone.

“Blowing up demon hands to wipe out shadows? That’s ruthless; having strong Demon Soul Power makes one quite reckless.”

Lin Nuo spun around and landed on the scattered ground, deciding to save his spirit energy by not using his wind technique.

Once out, conserving spirit energy was quite the challenge.

“I’ll admit your level is decent, but you’re still a bit useless.”

“What?!”

The Demon Sect youth was really enraged by this cheeky boy’s provocation, daring to mock him, a recognized future Demon Ruler by the Demon Sect. This guy had a death wish.

“You dare to provoke a future Demon Ruler? It seems you want me to kill you.”

The Demon Sect youth’s murderous intent ignited, fists clenched in fury, dark winds swirling at his feet, rushing toward Lin Nuo.

I’ll smash you to pieces!

Lin Nuo saw that this was a wind technique of the demonic path, a quick spell that gave his opponent an edge.

It was rare since most Demon Practitioners preferred long-range magical attacks, seldom engaging in close combat, let alone a swift melee.

Truly, he was worthy of being called a prospective Demon Ruler.

However, he was truly facing a real Demon Ruler now; let this old man show you how to be a melee Demon Practitioner.

Lin Nuo let the wind gather at his legs, deliberately concealing his demonic techniques. Using them without adequate Demon Soul Power was pointless and he’d only be bullying newbies.

Engaging with experienced Demon Practitioners required mixing various tools and tactics.

The youth unleashed a powerful punch, a surge of demonic aura bursting forth, carving a long crevice in the ground.

Lin Nuo nimbly dodged, not choosing a direct confrontation; after all, going toe-to-toe would be disadvantageous for him, a single hit could shatter his bones.

The Demon Sect youth summoned a mighty wind, attempting to encircle Lin Nuo with a furious torrent.

His wind technique was considerably more powerful than Ling Meng’s, and his speed too was unmatched. Ling Meng had a knack for quick attacks, but this youth was faster, whipping up a storm in an instant.

Yet, facing an opponent stronger than him heightened Lin Nuo’s senses. The demonic energy erupting from the wind was far greater than Ling Meng’s, making Lin Nuo more vigilant and quick to retreat, darting out of the wind’s grasp.

The speed at which Lin Nuo slipped away left the youth dumbfounded; it was as if he vanished in an instant.

“What?!”

“It’s the wind technique… quite impressive, but somewhat lacking.”

Lin Nuo shook his head, distancing himself from the Demon Sect youth.

“Is that all you can do, just dodge? Do you dare to fight head-on?”

The youth seethed, challenging Lin Nuo.

“Not willing to,” Lin Nuo replied honestly.

“…What exactly do you want?”

“Stop the wind technique. Just drop it; if you keep using it, I’ll retreat. What’s the point of that?”

“Fine.”

The Demon Sect youth waved his hand, ceasing the raging winds.

However, in that instant, Lin Nuo charged forward like lightning, catching the youth off guard.

“Demon Soul Protection, activate!”

Demon Soul Power surged around the Demon Sect youth, forming a formidable protective barrier. As long as he powered the barrier to full capacity, he couldn’t be harmed.

“Let’s see how you experience despair.”

As Lin Nuo’s arm was about to touch a shattered Dao Fu shield, he channeled his spirit energy, the power soaring through his arm, and he threw a punch.

Bang!

The punch shattered the Demon Sect youth’s protective barrier, hammering straight into his face, sending him reeling back some distance.

The gathered Demon Practitioners gasped in shock; their master’s Demon Soul Protection had actually been broken with a single hit!

Who in the world was this guy?!

After landing the punch, Lin Nuo watched the Dao Fu shatter, energy dissipating, and his spirit energy dwindling, this wouldn’t hold up much longer.

That’s enough; one punch in and it’s time to retreat. Pushing that raging Demon Practitioner was no laughing matter.

With a swift move, he ran away.

The youth stood up immediately, roaring and forcing the demonic energy within him to explode, intent on obliterating Lin Nuo.

But upon looking up, he found that Lin Nuo had vanished.

“Where is he?!”

“Master Chen, he ran away.”

“Where did he go?!”

“East, eastwards…”

One of the disciples pointed toward the east, and the youth, his rage boiling, charged off to pursue Lin Nuo.

…

Ling Meng and her father led the surviving Demon Disciples away, walking for a long time before realizing they had wandered into a heavily guarded area.

Due to the sudden outburst of fierce wind around Mu’s residence, the cultivators were on high alert and began closing in on it, only to unexpectedly clash with the Demon Practitioners coming from that direction.

“It’s the Demon Practitioners from the Refining Demon Sect; they’re definitely causing trouble for the common folk! We must eliminate them!”

The cultivators had sworn to oppose the Demon Practitioners, and upon sighting them, the skirmish erupted. Chaos reigned as various spirit energies clashed, resulting in massive explosions and thick smoke billowing up.

Ling Meng and the second-in-command of Helong Hall, Mu Sheng, had just faced off against some cultivators and were already worn out, yet they managed to slightly break through the ranks.

“These annoying cultivators really know how to time their arrival, but also greatly underestimate themselves.”

Ling Meng scoffed, realizing she lacked sufficient Demon Soul Power and needed to retreat quickly. Another wave of cultivators wouldn’t bode well for them.

At that moment, a new wave of Demon Disciples emerged.
