Chapter 888: The Bombing

Chapter 888: The Bombing

This was truly the first time Lin Nuo heard Su Kexin make a sound in her explosive state; it was extraordinarily rare, something he had never witnessed before.

“That’s called out like that, calling out ‘hubby’.”

This made him reminisce about the dream he had, about the two of them back in that red room.

That was indeed when she had referred to him as ‘hubby’, and in that dream, he had fully embraced the role of Su Kexin’s husband, reveling in it.

But now it was different; he was completely out of character… and there was a hint of terror lingering…

Fear, an unprecedented kind of fear, as the explosive Su Kexin actually addressed him as “hubby”!

Goodness, were you trying to merge the villain and the protagonist? What a tragic combination, though that might also lead to an untimely demise.

This onslaught of hugs instilled an even more profound fear in Lin Nuo, as if an ordinary man were being entangled by a female ghost, sending shivers down his spine.

Never had he trembled like this. If Su Kexin were to confront him directly, he wouldn’t be so afraid, but now, this situation… it felt far too discordant in comparison.

Caught in another embrace, and this time the strength was no small matter. Bet your villain’s dignity on the line, he had to resist and vowed not to yield.

Channeling his spirit and summoning the wind.

Lin Nuo’s body surged with wind, a fierce gust directed towards Su Kexin, attempting to push her back a bit, making some space for himself to break free.

Another showdown began; they had hardly paused before the skirmish resumed, as if they were never meant to rest.

If this were happening in bed, which man could handle it?

Su Kexin had to face two top-notch fighters: Su Lingjiang behind her and Lin Nuo in front. Both had substantial power, and even with this, Su Kexin felt a bit overwhelmed, unable to fully control Lin Nuo.

“Kexin, let go!”

Su Lingjiang had shattered the outer flame barrier. He couldn’t just stand by and watch his daughter act like this in front of Lin Nuo of all people—how embarrassing, especially with her mother watching.

Stop, cut losses quickly!

He rushed forward to intervene with Su Kexin, but this distraction allowed Lin Nuo’s wind technique to take effect, pushing Su Kexin away just enough for him to break free.

Close call.

Lin Nuo quickly ran towards Xia Hanmo.

“Nuo’er… what’s going on? Are you two fighting?”

“Fighting? We just went straight into a brawl! Is this what she used to get you into this mess?”

The so-called “mess” was the Spirit Technique Su Kexin had cast on Xia Hanmo for her protection.

“Uh… yes, it certainly was Su’s doing. I feel like she’s a bit different from before… what happened?”

Xia Hanmo asked anxiously, sensing something was off.

“This woman has a few days each month where she goes wild. Never mind her.”

Lin Nuo said as he broke through Xia Hanmo’s protective barrier; this thing couldn’t be left intact. It was tough to dispel it since it was cast by explosive Su Kexin; breaking it wasn’t easy.

Even though he was the protagonist, he wasn’t invincible. Her strength was considerable, but when it came to these kinds of barriers, layouts, etc., he, the villain, was more adept.

Time to break the seal.

However, he still couldn’t safely break it; after all, he had just escaped, and Su Kexin was still keeping a close eye on him.

And she was coming in hot.

Dodge!

As Lin Nuo attempted to cast a spell, he quickly retreated to avoid Su Kexin’s lunge while Su Lingjiang chased after him. It turned into a game of tag, running here and there amidst the chaos.

So disorganized, it was like a game.

“What’s wrong with your daughter? Can’t you control her?”

Lin Nuo shouted over to Su Lingjiang, severely reprimanding this frenzied behavior, clearly a case of poor family education.

“You brat, what did you do to her? She’s never like this!”

“What the hell could I do? It’s your family’s genes that are defective, and your education is lacking. She’s gone completely nuts.”

“It has to be you! My Kexin is usually very well-behaved; this is a huge deviation from her normal self. Once this situation calms down, I’m holding you accountable!”

Su Lingjiang and Lin Nuo began arguing. The two had never gotten along; Su Lingjiang was a bit protective of his daughter and couldn’t stand to see her mistreated by Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo was charmed by several girls, yet Kexin remained devoted to him, perhaps cursed by his spell.

Now, many prisoners were escaping from the dungeon. They had no weapons, but they quickly picked up those of fallen soldiers, resuming battles and breaking through the encirclement.

It was utter chaos; there were heaps of corpses on the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

“Damn it, we’ve lost control! Return and report to the lord. We must abandon this place!”

Dong Wei’s side realized they couldn’t manage the situation. They quickly retreated, abandoning the area to avoid more of their own being killed.

They had a backup plan: if the prison fell, they would blow it up, ensuring everyone inside would perish.

Rather than releasing them, they preferred to let them all die.

It was that extreme.

They acted swiftly, and the remaining survivors quickly evacuated while specialists began their preparations.

A pile of Dao Fu was tossed in, along with spirit stones and the magical array they’d pre-set, all invoked simultaneously to annihilate them.

Explosions began making noise inside the jail, conveniently located away from city streets, so the explosions wouldn’t harm the citizens—blow them up with no worries.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the deafening sounds rolled out, the massive prison erupted in furious flames, engulfing the area.

“Are they really setting off bombs?”

Lin Nuo heard the explosions and felt them getting closer.

This was not the time to play chicken with Su Kexin; he had to run.

He had to break her spell quickly and take Xia Hanmo away while the father and daughter enjoyed the fireworks here.

Tossing Fu, breaking the spell.

Lin Nuo put in more effort, tossing several Dao Fu while chanting a spell to dispel Su Kexin’s incantation.

Just as he was about to break it, the bombs from Dong Wei were already reaching their side.

No time left! Time for a shield!

To withstand large-scale bomb techniques, a sturdy shield was necessary. Lin Nuo had just exhausted himself against Su Kexin, but it wasn’t a big deal—he could use a shield.

Forming the shield.

But it turned out he didn’t need to form that shield because the Phoenix that had been playing on the ground stood up, spreading its wings to shield them from the incoming explosion.

Amidst the cacophony, the prison shook violently, flames blazed everywhere, and as everything collapsed, the final thunderous explosion blasted a huge hole, sending souls to float away in ashes, quite the grim scene.

However, thanks to the protection of the Phoenix’s wings, they could withstand this wave of assault, leaving a safe haven amidst the ruins.

These two were surprisingly reliable in a critical moment.

At this point, Su Kexin’s explosive state also began to wane, but instead of losing consciousness like before, her eyes regained their former luster.
