Chapter 869: Confrontation

“What kind of Demon Qi is this? In the blink of an eye, it was dispersed by Lin Nuo with a single strike.”

To the Immortal Foxes, this seemingly threatening Demon Qi was nothing in front of Lin Nuo—it shattered in an instant, clean and straightforward.

Do we really need to retreat over something this trivial? Is there really a life-threatening situation? Isn’t this a joke?

Can you Immortals stop embarrassing yourselves?

“No need to retreat. This Demon Qi is utterly insignificant. Don’t inflate their image or strength; they’re just that mediocre. It’s better to let you go than to let you become slaves of the Refining Demon Sect.”

Lin Nuo stated, retracting his hand, looking as serene as a transcendent being who sees through everything.

“This…”

Such overpowering strength left the Immortal Foxes dumbfounded; a master had crushed the masses in just a moment.

Incredible! They had never encountered anyone this powerful before.

And during their earlier showdown, his speed was astonishing, effortlessly dodging their attacks.

Now, dispersing the Demon Qi was a walk in the park.

If they fought him, they might really end up getting killed.

And dying could be just a matter of moments.

“Are you a Cultivator? Or an Immortal? I haven’t seen you before if you’re an Immortal.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. It’s unnecessary. Right now, I can help you break through the siege. Afterward, you’ll be on your own. How about it, will you leave your fate in the hands of destiny?”

Lin Nuo said, not planning to take them to a place with the Demon Fox, as the Immortal Foxes were much more difficult to manage. Besides, the strength of the Immortal Foxes was greater than that of the Demon Foxes. Since Ruo’er hadn’t been found yet, with no leader to manage them, if they acted against the Demon Foxes in his absence, it would spell disaster. They could become the leaders of the Demon Foxes, creating a hierarchy that would just be chaos.

That couldn’t happen; that would lead to utter disorder!

Now that they were here, it would be best to lead them out and let them fend for themselves afterward.

“Are you planning to leave? If not, just wait to die; it’s up to you.”

“We, we… want to leave…”

The leader of the White Immortal Fox hurriedly replied, realizing that they had a rare opportunity to be saved, so they should take it.

“Alright, then let’s go.”

Lin Nuo turned once more, facing the outside, where the Demon Qi continued to loom threateningly. He pressed forward again, and in an instant, that Demon Qi was dispersed anew.

In addition to leading them to safety, he still had Mu Yiting’s group waiting.

Once again, saving people. How is this my daily life?

“Now, follow me out. The Refining Demon Sect’s crew is setting up, but it’s not a big deal. It’s just an empty shell.”

Taking command, Lin Nuo began leading this group through the chaos, channeling Spirit Techniques to banish the Demon Qi.

The might of this Demon Qi was no joke; it spread around, with plants and trees wilting, losing all vitality. A scene of decay.

The Immortal Foxes were horrified at the dreadful sight; with such a horrible environment, they couldn’t fathom how bad it would turn if they came into too much contact with the Demon Qi.

Stepping on the withered grass, the Immortal Foxes felt uneasy; how did the once verdant nature end up like this? It was disheartening.

But Lin Nuo, on the other hand, felt quite at ease; it’s good to have a sense of disaster.

Before long, he had led them out and soon ran into the members of the Refining Demon Sect.

They were indeed setting up a battle formation, fully prepared, continuously releasing Demon Qi, even deploying various magical devices—it was quite an impressive scene.

It was understandable that the Immortal Foxes wouldn’t dare to fly away on their swords, considering the magical cannon ports were all ready. If they tried to flee, they would get shot down, just like Lin Nuo’s earlier assault.

“Not bad, I didn’t expect you all to last this long.”

Liu Ping from the Refining Demon Sect showed a sneaky smile.

“You, boy, no matter who you are, by daring to step in here, you’re provoking our Refining Demon Sect, and you shall be punished.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Nuo smiled coldly, swinging his Spirit Sword, which immediately split into numerous swords, surrounding him.

This formation can make one person challenge thousands.

“The Refining Demon Sect only seems stronger because of the appearance of the Demon Star; they are too arrogant and ignorant.”

With that, the multitude of swords shot forward, slicing through many Demon Disciples.

“Block him!”

Liu Ping shouted, and the Demonic Disciples quickly cast spells, soon conjuring black whirlpools to attempt to devour Lin Nuo’s blades.

This was a case of showing off in front of experts; this dark whirlpool was his forte—how could these small fry pose any threat?

Get lost!

Lin Nuo controlled the myriad swords with his will, each one attacking fiercely; the sword’s ability to break the Demon Qi was remarkable. While others were having their swords devoured by the black whirlpool, Lin Nuo was hacking away at it like they were chickens.

Boom!

A huge sound erupted as several dark whirlpools were cleaved in two, crumbling into fragments before finally vanishing.

“This…”

Liu Ping was dumbfounded. What is this? Swords can cut through dark whirlpools?

Isn’t that a bit over the top?

“Continue! Cast spells!”

The many Demon Practitioners continued to chant incantations, summoning Demon Spirits and the ghosts in the soil, turning them into a powerful energy source that swirled towards Lin Nuo and the others, ready to explode.

Ghostly explosions were a higher-tier method in the Refining Demon Sect.

These blasts were meant to annihilate Lin Nuo and his group.

However, this was also showing off in front of experts; such minor tricks couldn’t work against Lin Nuo.

Just before the spirits and demons could explode, Lin Nuo forcibly seized control over them.

Strength rules all; these spirits and demons had to submit to the strong, and before they knew it, their direction changed to head back toward the Refining Demon Sect.

Not good!

Realizing something was off, they didn’t expect to lose control. The Demon Spirits and ghosts were rushing back toward them.

“Demon Shield! Erect it!”

Liu Ping quickly reacted, shouting at the other disciples to form a defense, summoning a protective barrier.

Boom!

The force of the ghostly explosions was not weak; unless a Demon Practitioner had some degree of cultivation, they wouldn’t withstand it. The shield broke, and some members simply vanished.

A fraction fell, but some could still barely hold on.

However, in the midst of the chaos, the Refining Demon Sect had set ambushes and new arrangements, and three Black Shadows rapidly approached Lin Nuo on the ground, aiming to attack amidst the confusion.

Three magical assassins at once, clearly taking him seriously.

Out came the blades!

The sharp blades sliced through the air, aiming directly at Lin Nuo, with the three working in perfect harmony to attack from different angles.

However, while the swings were fierce, they were facing Lin Nuo—it wouldn’t be so easy to land a hit.

One could say it was impossible.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The assassins clashed; the encounter was quick, ending in the blink of an eye.

All three fell.

This pushed Liu Ping to the brink; he directly summoned a massive explosion, determined to kill his opponents.

Channeling the power of the Demon Souls to cast his spells.

Boom!

This Demon Power was about to explode, but then a flying sword came from beyond, disrupting Liu Ping’s plans.

Lin Nuo glanced; this flying sword came from a man—the Sword Saint.

Are you trying to steal my kill? I just didn’t see you around earlier!
