Chapter 845: Arrival of Sister Su
A horde of demon foxes surged forth. The scene was utterly chaotic, and the townsfolk, terrified, scattered in all directions.
The city’s soldiers were also dispatched, rushing towards the prison.
Luo Xiaoxue sprinted ahead, leading the fox demons. She intended to guide them out of the city, but soon encountered the arriving military.
Lin Nuo quickly caught up and joined her.
There were far too many fox demons; it wasn’t going to be easy to get them all out. Some sacrifices were inevitable.
“Lin the Knight… the enemy numbers are overwhelming.”
“Then we’ll slice our way out. Simple enough!”
Lin Nuo drew his sword, charging forward, undeterred by the number of soldiers.
Kill!
He charged into the fray, battling within the masses, the soldiers shouting and screaming amidst the clash. With Lin Nuo’s rapid sword strikes, opponents fell like grass, blood flowing like a river.
It seemed he hadn’t experienced such exhilarating slaughter since descending into madness—just slash, kill.
In his previous life, facing thousands was just the same—kill.
He felt at ease wielding his sword, which transformed Demon Soul Power into Spirit Power. Although he was using demonic sword techniques, it had actually evolved into celestial sword techniques, transcending the realms of celestial and demonic.
“Kill all the demon foxes! Ignore that kid!”
Xu Ku yelled, pointing at the demon foxes. Soon, several spirit masters arrived, along with reinforcements from Dongwei. Now with their greater numbers, they surrounded the fox demons, aiming to capture them all.
Rather than let them escape, it was better to eliminate them all.
“Kill!”
Xu Ku commanded, and several spirit masters raised their spirit staffs, chanting spells.
Boom, annihilate them!
Radiant, multicolored spirit lights erupted, launching various spells—wind, fire, thunder—towards the demon foxes, turning the street into a battlefield, sending bystanders rushing in fear for their lives.
Now was the time for Luo Xiaoxue to shine.
Of course, Luo Xiaoxue had yet to realize her own potential.
As the spells launched, Luo Xiaoxue firmly believed that Lin Nuo’s Dao Fu could protect her, charging forward, using her body as a shield.
Suddenly, a blinding golden light flashed, leaving everyone bewildered. A massive golden barrier sprang up, covering a wide area, safeguarding all the fox demons.
The Great 威天龙 technique responded to her heart’s desire, showcasing immense potential. If she wished to protect this group of fox demons, the golden barrier would shield them all.
This was something Lin Nuo hadn’t anticipated; he thought Luo Yi would only protect half at best, but she managed to cover them completely.
Was this an evolution?
Xu Ku was astounded, never expecting that this princess would reach such a level.
The power of this golden barrier was unknown to them, but undoubtedly, it posed a significant challenge for their side.
“Damn it, has this princess’ magical skills become transcendental?”
Xu Ku gritted his teeth, realizing this wave of attack had yielded no results.
Then it was time for close combat, not ranged attacks.
Kill!
A massive wave of soldiers surged forward, clashing with the group of demon foxes. The fox demons, feeling cornered, could only fight back desperately, engaging the soldiers in fierce combat, the air filled with chaos.
“Princess!”
Han Xiao moved swiftly, leading a group to assist. A small-scale battle erupted in Huang City, with all sides clashing and blood flowing.
At this moment, Su Kexin also rushed to the battlefield, seeing a chaotic scene where humans fought humans, humans fought demons, and demons fought humans, everything was a complete mess.
For a moment, she didn’t know whom to help, whom to fight.
As a practitioner of Xuanyun Sect, she should be vanquishing demons, suppressing these fox demons.
Yet, she had previously stated that there were complications and misunderstandings, perhaps these fox demons were innocent. She had even fallen out with her peers over this.
Now…
Caught in hesitation, Su Kexin spotted a familiar figure.
Her senior brother, Lin Nuo!
It had been a long time since the Magic Star incident; she was seeing Lin Nuo again.
Ah, why is he here?
And that girl…
She looks so familiar.
Isn’t that Luo Yi?
That golden light must be from Luo Yi!
And Han Xiao is here too!
They are here to rescue these demon foxes, right?
Sure enough, those demon foxes are misunderstood and have their own troubles.
Resolving her indecision, upon seeing Lin Nuo, she firmly decided to follow him without a second thought.
Thus, Su Kexin took up her Spirit Sword, joining Luo Xiaoxue’s side to battle against the city guards and Dongwei soldiers.
Lin Nuo was moving with lightning speed. Su Kexin couldn’t keep up with his pace and fought on the sidelines, swinging her sword repetitively and energetically, taking down enemies.
“This is…? Kexin?”
Luo Xiaoxue recognized Su Kexin and quickly dispatched the soldier blocking her way to join her.
“Ah, is that you, Luo Yi? I remember your golden light…”
“Mm, it’s me. What are you doing here? Is it suitable for you, a practitioner, to help us?”
“Of course! Look, isn’t my senior brother helping you too?”
As they spoke, Su Kexin continued to slash at foes, clearing paths for the fox demons.
The fox demons fought fiercely for their freedom and survival, fighting bravely. While some fell, most survived, thanks to Luo Xiaoxue’s golden barrier protecting them.
“Senior brother!”
Su Kexin shouted, but her voice was drowned out by the chaotic clamor around them; Lin Nuo was fully engrossed in battle and didn’t hear her.
On the Dongwei side, seeing the situation was dire, despite having numerous soldiers, they couldn’t contain them; after fighting for a while, many had fallen.
Xu Ku gritted his teeth as the East Wei people in the city joined the fray.
“Xu Ku, I won’t be here for a while, and you’ve made such a mess; how will you report this to superiors?”
“Less chatter! We’re in the same boat now, I can’t account for this, and neither can you. Plus, that princess is inside—she has magical prowess and can shield them. We still don’t know how to crack it.”
“Then ignore her; the primary targets are those fox demons. Those demon foxes have long been cursed.”
One of the East Wei men, named Du Hai, originally a follower of the Tian Yang Sect, had excelled and advanced into East Wei, now becoming quite the notable figure.
He had practiced witchcraft while in the Tian Yang Sect and shared significant credit for inciting the demon foxes into a frenzy.
“Now, they should turn on each other. Come, follow me, and let’s cast the spell.”
Du Hai brought his apprentices, all wielding bizarre snake-shaped spirit staffs. The food the fox demons had consumed bore curses, and it was time to unleash them and send the foxes into a frenzy.
Here they come.
They chanted their spells, and Su Kexin, usually slow to react, suddenly found her wits sharpened.
She sensed that the fox demons’ frenzy was tied to them.
The spells they were chanting might be the key to sending the foxes into a rage!
Without a second thought, she swung her sword forward, a Phoenix Shadow erupting and charging towards the followers.
The spellcasting was interrupted.
“This practitioner is a hassle. Xu Ku, cover me!”
“Alright, I’ll take her down.”
Xu Ku prepared to act against Su Kexin.
Lin Nuo was in the heat of battle when he suddenly noticed a familiar Phoenix Shadow.
Wait, what is that?
Looking in all directions, he spotted that girl.
Wait, Sister Su?
