Chapter 648: The Hero Calls for Help from the Villain, What Kind of Heaven’s Path?

The Zu’an Horse Hunters, to sum it up, just three words.

Pleasant, pleasant, pleasant.

Once upon a time, he galloped freely, but halfway through, he was taken down by the Zu’an Horse Hunters who specialized in hunting horses. Now he had transformed into a horse hunter himself, taking down their mounts instead.

Qin Huai’s warhorse was heavily armored, tough and durable, protected by a Spirit Shield layer—truly indestructible.

But Lin Nuo’s sharp blades were equally fierce, and after being picked off by the Zu’an Horse Hunters multiple times, he had gained experience.

Plus, he had quite the understanding of heavy armor; he quickly struck at the weaker points, swinging his blade to pierce directly through Qin Huai’s warhorse armor, landing a hit.

Not only that, but his blade was also poisoned. This horse was truly in deep trouble.

The warhorse let out a screech and fell to the ground, with Qin Huai tumbling down as well.

However, Qin Huai was quite agile; he wouldn’t fall flat on his face. He rolled as he hit the ground, quickly adjusting his stance to stand firm.

Close call.

This kid actually broke through my warhorse’s heavy armor and took it down so easily.

After all, as horse handlers, their warhorses had extremely high defense, almost comparable to humans. How many people had aimed for his horse in battle, only to fail?

But now, his own mount couldn’t withstand the attack and had fallen.

“Little cultivator, not bad! You actually managed to take down my warhorse. You’re the first.”

“If you encountered the Zu’an Horse Hunters, your horse would have dropped long ago.”

“Zu’an Horse Hunters? What?”

Qin Huai was puzzled; the Zu’an Horse Hunters were a small group that circulated in certain folk areas, but Qin Huai was a big shot, plainly unable to cross paths with such a small group.

The Zu’an Horse Hunter group might be small, but they were experts at hunting horses.

“You simply lack experience with a proper beatdown; you’re quite narrow-minded.”

“Even if I were to dismount, handling you would be a piece of cake.”

Qin Huai would not let this little cultivator act all high and mighty; several dignitaries from Dong Wei were approaching, and he couldn’t embarrass himself.

Qin Huai built up his breath, tightly gripping his long sword.

Charge!

Qin Huai dashed forward, and of course Lin Nuo had no intention of dodging; he was ready to exchange a few moves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just a few exchanges, Lin Nuo had hammered Qin Huai into the ground.

Wow, so without his invincible warhorse, he’s really just a trash chicken, huh? It took hardly any time to knock him down.

While Lin Nuo was fighting Qin Huai, Su Kexin had already summoned the Phoenix Sword, soaring before her. Su’s mother and grandmother were scared of flying with the sword, but now they had no choice but to hold onto Su Kexin tightly.

However, the spirit masters and sorcerers sent by the court had already set a vast net; they had cast spells above Su Kexin, intending to trap her. If she touched that net while attempting to fly with her sword, she would face attacks.

Su Kexin could bear it, but her mother and grandmother, being normal people, would crumble under that.

“Senior brother, it’s no good! They’ve set up Spirit Techniques above us!”

Su Kexin quickly called for Lin Nuo’s help, who helplessly thought, wow, you’re so great at flaunting justice as the protagonist, but when trouble arises, you come crying to me.

Are you the protagonist or am I? Can’t you come up with your own solutions?

Seriously, it’s ridiculous! You’re out here wanting to save your family, but you need help from the main villain? What kind of heaven’s path is this? Could someone please explain?

Honestly, Lin Nuo didn’t want anything to happen to Su’s mother and grandmother; he could always see reflections of his own mother and grandmother in them.

Now how to break through? To be honest, if it were just him, he could break through with ease, but rescuing the women and the elderly increased the difficulty significantly.

Not just a bit of difficulty; it was enormous.

Damn it, now even the villain is responsible for saving people?

“Qin Huai, you’re really embarrassing yourself.”

At this moment, the dignitaries from Dong Wei had arrived, and upon seeing Qin Huai being battered by Lin Nuo, they came over to say a few words.

“Lord Li, Lord Han, Lord Guan…”

Qin Huai quickly rolled over and stood up, hurriedly greeting the dignitaries from Dong Wei; he had developed a respect for them.

“This kid is using underhanded tricks, I…”

“Underhanded tricks? That shouldn’t be an excuse for our defeat.”

One of the Dong Wei dignitaries rebuked Qin Huai in a haughty tone.

Now Luo Xiaoxue noticed the Dong Wei dignitaries had arrived and realized it was not good; this would definitely expose everything! She was bound to be caught!

Resistance was necessary!

Luo Xiaoxue immediately focused her spirit energy, releasing a wave of power that sent the soldiers holding her sprawling.

Go, hurry to find Knight Lin!

Luo Xiaoxue acted quickly and decisively, breaking free from the soldiers before rushing toward Lin Nuo.

Just as she jumped into the open, she caught everyone’s attention, and among the Dong Wei nobles, one could recognize her immediately.

“Is that her? How did she get here? When did she sneak in?”

“Let’s catch her without breaking a sweat! Everyone, seize that woman!”

The Dong Wei dignitary ordered, and the soldiers obeyed, rushing toward Luo Xiaoxue.

Originally, Lin Nuo was the center of attention, but with Luo Xiaoxue’s appearance, the spotlight shifted.

Lin Nuo took a glance and found this person somewhat familiar.

“Knight Lin, Knight Lin! It’s me, Luo Yi!”

Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Nuo realized who it was.

No need for realization; she had already declared it—no need to hammer it home.

With Luo Xiaoxue’s arrival, a horde of officials charged in, a bunch of strong men that looked intimidating; who knew they might take you down in deep philosophical discussions.

But obviously, Luo Xiaoxue’s appearance became the lifeline for Lin Nuo, the key figure to solve the current predicament.

To break through without triggering Su Kexin’s potential, Luo Xiaoxue was the best assistant.

Great威天龙, unmatched in all directions.

Except for that time when that god-level dragon broke through defenses.

Lin Nuo suddenly had a brilliant idea.

“Su Kexin, you steer your sword with Luo Yi and fly up to break the net above. I’ll take your mother and grandmother away.”

Lin Nuo acted like an excellent heroic leader, making quick decisions, issuing tasks, and summoning the Phoenix Sword to soar before him.

To be honest, he hadn’t used the Phoenix Sword in a long while, but it was easier to wield than any other sword he had used.

Well, except for the Demon Sword.

Lin Nuo tossed out a few powder balls; they hit the ground and exploded, creating a thick cloud of smoke to obscure their vision.

Lin Nuo thought the Dong Wei people were a bit thick-headed; why do they let some rotten fish and smelly shrimp make the first move while they just stand back to watch!

Seriously, your martial skills should just come directly at us. You’d catch people much more efficiently that way!

Luo Xiaoxue immediately stepped onto Su Kexin’s sword, and Lin Nuo quickly lifted Su’s two elders.

“You all, hurry! First, charge up! Su Kexin, don’t hit the spirit net! Luo Yi, jump up to break it; your protective technique should easily break through.”

“Oh, oh, got it!”

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue trusted Lin Nuo completely, and Su Kexin immediately flew up with Luo Yi.

As they were about to hit the spirit net, Su Kexin subconsciously halted, and then Luo Xiaoxue jumped up to break through.

A flash of golden light appeared, and the spirit net disappeared just like that.
