Chapter 768: Picking Up Liu Sister on the Ground
“Hahaha, good! Good!”
Chen Tian was overjoyed; the power of this demon device was indeed formidable, sending those arrogant cultivators fleeing in disarray, suffering heavy losses. Even with the help of elders, they couldn’t withstand it, and this made him exceedingly happy.
Now armed with a weapon to counter the cultivators, wouldn’t it be easy to blow up Tianling Mountain and drive them away?
Finally, the Refining Demon Sect could hold its head high; after being suppressed for so long, it was time to fight back.
However, this demon device had its shortcomings—it couldn’t fire continuously, and after one shot, it needed a while to recharge before launching another attack.
No problem, now that these cultivators have taken a beating, they can’t even fight back.
Next, it’s time to take advantage of the situation; with the demon device still recharging, let’s go for the stragglers among the cultivators.
Alright, it’s up to me, Chen Tian, to personally finish off these cultivators.
He shrugged, cracked his knuckles, doing some warm-up exercises; he was ready to make his move.
As he stepped out, intending to deal the final blow to a cultivator, he bumped into a boy leading a group of beastmen rushing towards him.
The scene was not huge, but it was hard to imagine a human leading a pack of demon beasts…almost like a general commanding troops.
The Refining Demon Sect couldn’t pull this off; they struggled to control demon beasts as they would rebel and attack. Yet here was this boy managing them?
Pretty surprising.
Lin Nuo rode a four-legged earth dragon, making use of any transportation available to save his own energy.
As he ran out, he ran into that brat.
Yes, that brat, the Crown Prince of the Chen family—Chen Tian.
To be honest, this guy was like a heavenly deity among the demon practitioners—gifted and extraordinarily powerful—but to Lin Nuo, he seemed like a rookie.
That’s right, a rookie at that.
What the heck, was it this thing that tossed my disciple into the Demon Abyss Valley?
Lin Nuo exchanged glances with Chen Tian; the latter recognized the boy even through the cloth he wore.
This guy seemed to be that…
Couldn’t be him again?!
It dawned on him that he had suffered because of this person before.
Damn it, how did this guy end up here?
“He’s the one who disrupted the barrier?”
“Yes, Your Highness, it’s him.”
“What about the other demon masters? Weren’t they called back? Why haven’t we seen them? Instead, the demon beasts are out first?”
“Not sure, Your Highness… they haven’t returned since they went…”
“Damn it.”
Chen Tian gritted his teeth, seriously thinking about using the demon device to blow this kid to bits.
“There aren’t many demon beasts, don’t let them out; kill them if you can!”
“Yes!”
A group of demon practitioners in purple sect robes got into action, channeling their energy, activating the formation, as if setting up a major battle; it was highly perilous.
This was no easy formation to escape from; it required extreme familiarity with the Demon Array.
Lin Nuo glanced ahead, spotting a group of cultivators lying on the ground, on the brink of collapse.
He had seen the meteor shower bombardment just now; its power was indeed astonishing.
The Refining Demon Sect wasn’t entirely useless; they could create something after all.
This thing was nice—it could directly kill cultivators; let’s keep bombing.
Lin Nuo thought about dismantling their crappy device but realized letting them bomb the cultivators wasn’t such a bad idea either.
Forget it, didn’t matter.
Keep bombarding… wait, what’s that?
Lin Nuo looked and noticed a fallen group of cultivators, including elders from the Xuanyun Sect, but among them was his Master Sister, Liu Shuqin.
What the heck, she got blasted too?
Lin Nuo pondered for a moment and felt like this wasn’t a good situation.
Originally, he planned to break through; now, he had additional thoughts.
At least he needed to see if she was dead; if dead, no matter, if not, he would take her along.
“You guys, follow me, let’s break through together!”
“Alright, we’ll follow the King to the death!”
The group of leopard-headed people got fired up; after being brainwashed by Lin Nuo before, they were now emotionally charged and eager for freedom.
Charge!
This wave of assault through the trap wasn’t easy; the Demon Array of the Refining Demon Sect was quite powerful. Even though Lin Nuo was familiar with the Demon Array, he couldn’t immediately break through so many formations, and with insufficient Demon Soul Power after leaving the Demon Abyss Valley, it was tough.
But self-preservation was still possible. Lin Nuo charged fiercely on his earth dragon, tossing up a Dao Fu to create a shield protecting himself.
The charge was successful; they broke through, but the leopard-headed folks suffered significant losses.
No problem, if they died, they died.
“What? They managed to break through?!”
Chen Tian was astonished. Lin Nuo had invaded the Demon Abyss Valley, and Chen Tian had already strengthened the Demon Array, yet this guy still escaped.
This was tricky; there was no way to handle it.
Where did this kid come from? What faction did he belong to?
With his power unclear, it was uncertain whether he was friend or foe.
But he saw the boy leading some lucky surviving demon beasts into the crowd of cultivators, and the Xuanyun Sect elders weren’t dead yet; they had been injured but could still move.
Seeing Lin Nuo rush towards Liu Shuqin, the two elders quickly stood up.
“Demon practitioners, don’t you dare harm our sect’s disciple!”
The elders attacked with a palm strike, but Lin Nuo, agile as ever, swiftly dodged.
You two old geezers, get lost!
He returned a punch straight to the elder’s face, sending him face-first to the ground.
That felt satisfying.
Lin Nuo quickly jumped down; Liu Shuqin was gravely injured but still had a breath left.
Seeing the group of demon practitioners coming from behind, if they struck, she’d definitely be done for.
Let’s take her!
Lin Nuo picked her up in one motion and placed her on the back of the earth dragon.
“Senior, Junior Brother…”
Liu Shuqin recognized Lin Nuo immediately and managed to utter these two words with difficulty.
Lin Nuo didn’t speak. He simply rode the earth dragon away, zooming past, even stepping on fallen cultivators as he did.
This earth dragon was like him, sneaky enough not to forget to stomp on others on the way out, finishing them off.
This breakout wasn’t as perfect as he hoped, but it wasn’t too bad. At least he managed to bring out some demon beasts.
And he’d also picked up Liu Sister from the ground, escaping.
…
Meanwhile, over with Ling Meng, she had already rallied the demon beasts to break through successfully. This bunch of demon beasts had high battle strength and, with the barrier no longer binding them, their breakout was fierce and relentless.
The demon beasts gushed out in a highly organized wave, directly crashing through the Refining Demon Sect’s encirclement.
Ling Meng quickly led the remaining troops to the rendezvous point but wondered where her master had gone.
This was strange; had something happened?
With her master’s skills, it was unlikely anything would go wrong, right?
What about those meteor shower-like demon missiles and bombardments? What on earth was going on?
Was that her master’s demon power?
Now not seeing her master around, all she could do was wait.
While waiting, a new batch of cultivators appeared.
Near the Demon Abyss Valley, either disciples of the Refining Demon Sect were roaming or cultivators who had broken through the demon sect’s encirclement and now faced these attackers.
Kill whoever stands in their way; no mercy.
At that moment, Ling Meng locked eyes with the leader of the opposing cultivators.
It was none other than the silver-haired girl, Qin Shili, who had caused her great trouble before.
She loathed Qin Shili immensely since she was the Second Martial Sister of her greatest enemy, Lin Nuo, and had caused her serious losses!
