Chapter 647: The Transformation into a Zaun Horse Hunter

Chapter 647: The Transformation into a Zaun Horse Hunter

What was meant to come had finally arrived.

Lin Nuo had anticipated this; the scene where the villain and the protagonist coexist was bound to trigger Su Kexin’s furious reprimand of the villain, leading to intense conflict between both parties.

As the conflict escalated, a brawl was inevitable.

In the brawl, Ah Su would get beaten up, which would then erupt into chaos—people scattering like chickens and dogs, ultimately leading to Ah Su’s victory.

He had thought it out, a very meticulous script!

This Su sister was truly reckless, exuding a kind of mysterious confidence as if she could take on anything.

Sure, you could take on the heavens and the earth, but can’t you give these bad fish and rotten shrimp a chance? They just want to claim some land, not commit murder or burn things down. Is it really that serious?

Seeing Su Kexin’s passionate outburst, Qin Huai smirked dismissively:

“I can understand your passion, little girl. However, I still suggest you clear your head. You’ll pay the price for your recklessness, and Xuanyun Sect will be tarnished because of you.”

“The Xuanyun Sect is the recognized number one sect in the world, championing the weak and taking the lives of the common people as our own duty. If I just stand by and let you do as you please, then that would truly be tarnishing the name of Xuanyun Sect!”

Su Kexin stood her ground, embodying the chivalrous ideals of Xuanyun Sect, refusing to yield.

“Then there’s nothing more to discuss.”

Qin Huai shook his head, snapped his fingers, and the nearby spirit practitioners understood, raising their magic staffs while chanting spells. Instantly, a luminous circle formed around Su Kexin.

She felt a surge of excruciating pain wash over her, gritting her teeth to endure it.

How could this little setback break me? My martial brother is watching, I can’t become a burden to him.

Lin Nuo watched as the spirit magic surrounded Su Kexin, thinking this might provoke her into a full-blown outburst.

Even if she didn’t explode, it would still be a form of training—after all, the protagonist only grows stronger through such trials.

No, I have to stop this.

Lin Nuo pulled out two powder balls from his clothes, aimed them at the spirit practitioners, and tossed them with a plop.

Bang!

As the powder balls flew in, they became alert and attempted to block them, but little did they know that it’d result in a small explosion upon blocking.

Dust swirled, their breathing grew ragged, and the incantation halted, allowing Su Kexin to regain her composure.

Su Kexin had no external injuries; this spirit magic hadn’t harmed her outwardly but had infiltrated her internally, causing internal damage.

Once the practitioners reacted and tried to continue casting spells, they found that the powder blocked their internal spirit energy flow, restricting their abilities.

“Martial brother…”

“Get behind me.”

Lin Nuo wore a serious expression, stepping in front of Su Kexin, facing the enemy head-on.

Well, since things had escalated, discussion for peace was unrealistic.

Time for a change in strategy—to break through.

“Very well, you are all disciples of the Xuanyun Sect. What you do today will be reported back to Xuanyun Sect. The elders will owe me a bit of respect, and you all should know the consequences.”

“Report away, go ahead. By the way, I’m a disciple of Han Fairy. So is she; we were both trained specifically to go against you.”

Lin Nuo stated nonchalantly, as if to say, “Is that a threat? How cute, but I’m not afraid.”

Hurry up and report me! Let the Xuanyun Sect and your Dong Wei faction’s relationship crumble and break apart—let them fight until they’re all dead!

“Good, you’re bold. The juniors of Xuanyun Sect have that kind of spirit, but let me tell you in blunt terms, you’ve got no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth goes.”

Qin Huai drew his sharp blade. Even now, mounted, he was known as a battlefield hero.

But what did Lin Nuo care about him being unopposed on horseback? The most unbeatable one was right beside him, and everyone else was insignificant.

The atmosphere intensified, and no one dared to defy the orders of the government soldiers, especially not with Qin Huai leading them. However, once Su Kexin sounded the horn of rebellion, everything changed.

Lin Nuo joined the fray, and Luo Xiaoxue watched with keen eyes.

Just as she had expected, Lin the Hero couldn’t sit idly by and had to act. Qin Huai had extensive connections, and even Xuanyun Sect held a measure of respect for him, but Lin the Hero had no fear of authority.

Perhaps she too needed to get involved—she couldn’t just stand by.

Yes, it was time to find a chance to join the resistance.

Luo Xiaoxue was hiding in a house, pretending to be one of the citizens of Su Family Village to blend in.

But then the government troops suddenly came to check everyone’s identities, and Luo Xiaoxue was exposed.

“Who goes there? Is she from Su Family Village?”

“No, wait, she looks somewhat familiar. Seems like I’ve seen her before.”

“She was acting suspiciously just now, lurking around. Forget that; let’s take her to see the master.”

The turf confiscating soldiers noticed something off about Luo Xiaoxue and tried to take her away.

But witnessing Lin Nuo begin to resist gave her courage; besides, if they captured her and took her to Qin Huai, she’d be recognized straight away.

Now that Princess Puhan was a target of East Wei, it would undoubtedly be walking into the tiger’s den.

She couldn’t just go quietly; she had to resist.

“You’re coming with us, so behave yourself.”

The soldiers began to lead Luo Xiaoxue away. For the moment, she didn’t resist, just followed them while looking for an opportunity, keeping her eyes peeled. There were simply too many soldiers coming, trying to break through would be utter folly.

She still had to figure out a way to get to Lin the Hero.

Lin Nuo was locked in a standoff with Qin Huai; both sides hadn’t yet made a move, waiting for their chance.

Lin Nuo’s aim wasn’t to kill; there was no need for that—they had no enmity. He just wanted to leave, so Su Kexin wouldn’t run off to fight again.

How to escape? He had some ideas.

But he had to bring Su Mama and Su Grandma along, or else Su Kexin would be unwilling to leave and would definitely come back.

Flying on swords would be the best, one for each person.

Let her carry both!

Lin Nuo turned to Su Kexin and said:

“You, get ready to take her away on your sword.”

“Ah, but mother and grandma can’t handle flying on a sword…”

“They’ll have to manage. You stirred this whole mess; you have to clean it up.”

Lin Nuo complained. If it weren’t for you, Su Kexin, recklessly promoting justice, we could have taken our money and left without being hunted down!

Facing this group of soldiers, escaping shouldn’t be too difficult.

“Lord Qin, some lords from East Wei are here!”

A soldier shouted, and Qin Huai instantly beamed with joy.

Good, a few lords have arrived to witness this ceremony.

First, subdue this little Xuanyun Sect cultivator.

Qin Huai rode off, his momentum exceptional, swinging his sharp blade downward toward Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo furrowed his brow, seeing that Qin Huai’s horsemanship was indeed remarkable; even charging quickly, he still maintained perfect stability with not a single wobble.

And that commanding posture on the horse, with the blade held high, did not betray his title of being invincible on horseback.

This horse sped like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, he was right before him.

At this moment, Lin Nuo remained calm as usual, quickly making a judgment, drawing his dagger, and striking straight at the horse.

Alright, got it.

Hit the horse!

The horse let out a pained squeal, blood gushing from the wound as it collapsed, taking the once-mighty Qin Huai down with it.

Although Lin Nuo despised Zaun horse hunters, at this moment, he had transformed into one.
