Chapter 757: The Rift Magic Fist

Chapter 757: The Rift Magic Fist

Roaring sounds echoed endlessly throughout the Demon Abyss Valley, as the demon beasts wielded their weapons and charged toward Lin Nuo and his disciple.

Lin Nuo widened the battlefield, pounding away while letting Ling Meng unleash her skills.

The valley shook, the heavens quaked, and loose stones rolled down the mountain, teetering on the brink of collapse.

The rhinoceros demon aimed to capture Lin Nuo, but holding back only hindered itself. After several attempts, it failed to gain the upper hand and found itself restrained, somewhat disadvantaged.

This totally affected its performance; humans were getting ahead.

Seeing Lin Nuo flitting about, the rhinoceros demon grew furious. It could no longer contain its massive axe, deciding it was time to take this brat down with a single chop.

Boom!

With that strike, infused with overwhelming Demon Soul Power, a deep chasm tore through the ground, reminiscent of a mountain-splitting force.

Are you the Earth-Shaking Divine Bull?

Lin Nuo puffed, stepping back a bit. If that blow landed, not only the mountain would crumble, but he’d definitely be a goner too.

What a brave bull, unfazed by challenges.

However, since ancient times, those who relied solely on brute force would ultimately fall to the cunning and swift.

If we were to divide strength, agility, and intelligence, in high-end battles, strength could be a disadvantage.

Lin Nuo was a blend of agility and intelligence, even if his strength points were a tad lacking.

Ling Meng was holding her ground quite nicely, utilizing a flowing combat strategy—moving while pulling and bombarding, very flexible. Coupled with her enhanced physical condition after her explosive burst, she was managing fine.

Even if danger lurked, it was no big deal; after all, she was an explosive body. If anything happened, she could just burst out—no Sword Saint in sight here.

First, let’s take care of that bull.

“Where do you think you’re running?!”

The bull charged fiercely, letting out a furious roar as its massive axe swung down, shaking the heavens and astonishing the land.

Another chasm nearly split the valley in two.

However, the Demon Abyss Valley had a kind of sentience, and even when split open, it would gradually close up. Otherwise, with these brutal demon beasts fighting day and night, it would have been flattened long ago.

The rhinoceros demon was brimming with momentum, truly impressive, but it couldn’t land a hit and ended up just striking the valley walls.

“Why do you keep hitting the mountain?”

Lin Nuo retreated to some rocks, crouching down and watching the spectacle like he was at a show. This rhinoceros demon charged so recklessly that its companions dared not follow. If they kept swinging wildly, they’d end up getting hurt themselves.

The rhinoceros flailed about but couldn’t gain any advantage, merely thrashing aimlessly. Its strength was astounding, and its hide was tough as nails. Lin Nuo had tried launching concealed weapons, but they couldn’t penetrate its skin, proving utterly ineffective.

So, he had to beat strength with strength.

Should he strike from afar?

No, he hadn’t reached that miraculous level yet. All his other strength techniques were akin to this one.

The Punishment of the Sinful Beast?

Such a waste to use on this creature.

A serious punch it is.

Of course, it wasn’t truly a “serious punch” like Master Saitama’s; his was loaded with enhancements.

Affixing a Fu was one aspect—not to mention making his own fists more resilient, so they wouldn’t explode upon contact.

Lin Nuo raised his fist, affixed the Fu, and gave it a blow to seal the deal.

The Rift Magic Fist was merely meant to compensate for his lack of strength, focusing power for extraordinary results. Back when he had yet to become a big shot, he often used this move to pull off miraculous victories.

However, this technique was contingent on his cultivation level. Being too weak wouldn’t work. Currently stuck at the fourth tier, he was teetering on the lowest threshold, so it was still manageable.

As the bull charged again, Lin Nuo tightened his fist.

“Die!”

The rhinoceros demon swung its giant axe down once more, but Lin Nuo nimbly dodged, his right fist gathering a cloud of dark Demon Qi.

The overwhelming pressure astonished the rhinoceros demon.

Then came the moment of impact, landing squarely on the demon’s flesh.

In an instant, it felt as if dozens of magical hands had penetrated the rhinoceros demon’s body and were tearing at its tendons.

A harrowing cry erupted from it as its veins bulged, its axe slipping from its grasp.

It was a tortured rhinoceros, writhing on the ground in immense pain.

Soon, the Demon Soul Power within it surged, causing varying explosions within its body.

Boom!

Blood splattered everywhere as it collapsed, quickly losing all signs of life.

“Ugh, my hand still hurts a bit.”

Lin Nuo blew on his knuckles; that demon hide was tough! The force acted mutually, and after that punch, even with the Fu, it still smarted a little.

Maybe the Fu material was subpar; he should give it a bad review.

With the rhinoceros demon down, its minions, like a panicked army, trembled and hesitated to approach.

“Who else wants some?”

Lin Nuo stood atop the rock, looking down disdainfully at the mass of sentient demon beasts.

At that moment, he could only manage a single punch, but he couldn’t lose his bravado; he had to give off the aura of ten fighters.

“Damn it…”

The demons gritted their teeth. With their leader toppled, Ling Meng was executing her attacks jubilantly, causing the demon beasts to wail and scatter.

Perhaps they had been under pressure for so long that once they exploded into action, they felt clear-headed and invigorated; retaliation was in the air.

Initially the pursued, the roles were now reversed with Ling Meng chasing the demon beasts, who were now running for their lives in a comically chaotic scene.

“Uh…”

Lin Nuo sighed; his female disciple really had the wrong tactics. He had mentioned a flowing strategy before. Even with confidence, standing still to fight was a mistake; it would crumble against overwhelming numbers.

Now that she was applying the flowing strategy, she was having a blast.

The demon beasts fled in terror, spooked by the terrifying human, and the ambush was a failure.

“Alright, alright, stop! Save some energy.”

Lin Nuo called out for Ling Meng to halt. Upon reflection, while he had only downed one, she had taken out ten. His own achievements felt a little shy in comparison.

This batch of demon beasts wasn’t too strong, after all; the King wasn’t inclined to go all out right away, starting with a few weaker ones first. Winning was nice; if they couldn’t, they’d simply clear the stock and exhaust the enemy.

A typical villain mindset; if he were the villain, he’d definitely deploy the elite troops upfront and wipe out the opponent, leaving no room for a comeback.

“Dear Master, you’re amazing! You’ve defeated their leader!”

Ling Meng rushed over to the rhinoceros demon’s corpse. Seeing its body in fragments and blood flowing, she felt no disgust but rather excitement; the more gruesome the demon’s death, the stronger her master seemed.

Little did she know her master’s hand was still sore.

“How did you do it, Master?”

“Just a regular punch; it couldn’t take a hit.”

“Oh, wow, you’re so strong! Sigh, in comparison, I can only take out some minor beasts.”

You call that minor? That’s over ten downed!

“Not bad,” Lin Nuo replied casually.

“Really? Then you should compliment me more!”

Ling Meng snuggled up to Lin Nuo, rubbing against him.

“You did well, showing progress. Keep it up.”

“Then reward me, Master! A deep kiss filled with love, or maybe a bubble bath of affection.”

“Let’s keep moving.”

Lin Nuo ignored her, slightly regretting being so open with her; she was always trying to bring up their love life now.

Honestly, he couldn’t stand it.

They continued deeper into the valley, suddenly stumbling upon a hidden little village, where wolves growled at their approach.

Lin Nuo contemplated roasting them, but a sudden shout rang out.

“Don’t attack them!”

Humans appeared, along with beast-headed demon creatures.
