Chapter 932: The Showdown

Chapter 932: The Showdown

Lin Nuo found himself in dire straits. Xiao Su had fallen into the river, swept away by the raging current, gone without a trace, and her survival was uncertain.

Lin Nuo gazed at the tumultuous waters below, lost in thought.

Wow, Xiao Su has really fallen into trouble today.

But they were allies united against a common enemy, and now one of them was lost.

Damn it, it was just him and Da Su left to face off!

What the heck? Can he even take her on? If he could, why would he need Xiao Su?

Lin Nuo pondered his strategy, but nothing viable came to mind.

A world-class dilemma.

Moreover, in this illusion, everything shifted according to Su Kexin’s intentions, making it her home turf.

Things just got even more tricky.

Da Su’s sharp sword was already aimed at Lin Nuo, ready to engage in a deadly duel.

On the surface, Lin Nuo appeared calm as a dog, but inside, he was still a bit scared.

After all, he had been chopped down before.

Lin Nuo forced a smile, trying to maintain his momentum and not let Da Su look down on him.

He shook his head, sneering:

“I say, Su Kexin, do you really think you can trap me?”

“I can trap you,” Su Kexin replied confidently, her sharp sword gleaming with intense light.

“Really? You’re just strong; when it comes to mindset, you’re still a bit green.”

Lin Nuo kept up his facade, holding his ground, refusing to lose his momentum.

“Your mindset is indeed strong. This illusion is child’s play for you. But you should know that as long as you’re here, it means you can’t break out.”

“Really? I just wanted to see you fight,” Su Kexin shot back.

Lin Nuo continued to smirk; it seemed this Su lady’s IQ had increased a bit, recognizing that layer.

Looks like not only her strength had improved, but also her wits.

You’re right; I indeed didn’t think of a way to break out; otherwise, I wouldn’t be here chatting.

“You want to annihilate me, right? What a lot of effort you’re putting in.”

Lin Nuo raised his own sharp sword, and his dragon spirit roared in a furious outcry.

You can’t lose in momentum; the Azure Dragon spirit knew this well.

They were each other’s support, facing the judgment of death.

“I don’t mean that at all. If I did, you’d have been vaporized long ago.”

“Is that so? Heh.”

Lin Nuo scoffed, instantly creating numerous shadows around Su Kexin.

Pressure in momentum surging; how things played out was another story.

“Fighting you is a great pleasure for me. Perhaps this is the true meaning of you for me. Please use all your skills, so we can have a real battle.”

Mature Su Kexin charged at Lin Nuo, immediately spotting which was the real one; the illusions were completely useless.

However…

She swung down her sword, but it missed.

Flashing away, Lin Nuo had sidestepped.

Honestly, unless he wanted to die, he could only be trapped in a cage; as long as there was space to move, she could never really pin him down.

“Looks like that’s all you’ve got, Su Kexin.”

Lin Nuo taunted, unable to be subdued by brute strength, so he turned to mental pressure.

“Lin Nuo, I ask you to take back those tactics. Fight me head-on.”

Saying this, Su Kexin’s sharp sword radiated intense light, and she swung forcefully, illuminating all the illusions, which immediately vanished.

This move was like a dispersal, instantly clearing the shadows.

But Lin Nuo wasn’t worried; if you dispersed them, I could still summon more. Who’s afraid of whom?

Come on, let’s do this.

He tried to summon his shadows again, but as soon as they appeared, they all disappeared.

The area was now enveloped by this light, and the shadows ceased to exist.

Truly the protagonist; that move was incredible.

Let’s see what else I, Lin Nuo, can pull off.

Su Kexin continued to swing her sword at him, but Lin Nuo moved like the wind, and Su Kexin couldn’t even touch him.

Let’s toy with you for a bit more.

Chanting a spell, Lin Nuo summoned a powerful whirlwind, trapping Su Kexin within it.

Surrounded by fierce flames, the scene transformed into a rapid fire vortex, quite the spectacle.

Though the flames were intense, Lin Nuo was protected by the hurricane, so even in a blazing storm, he was unharmed.

He spun around.

He twirled through the storm at high speed, and now Su Kexin was struggling to keep up with him.

Where is he?

She tried to gauge his location based on his aura, but Lin Nuo was using clever demonic arts, leaving behind false auras to hinder Su Kexin.

Now, she was lost in the chaos, completely unaware of Lin Nuo’s trajectory.

Lin Nuo improved his martial arts based on past failures; this whirlwind spin and aura confusion was quite an innovation.

Gradually closing in, he moved swiftly, and the flames didn’t burn him, coming ever closer to Su Kexin.

Here!

Su Kexin swung her sword, but missed again; Lin Nuo dashed in behind her.

“Too slow.”

Boom!

Lin Nuo fired a magic projectile, hitting Su Kexin in the back. She staggered forward a bit, but thanks to her strong recovery, she hardly took damage.

Lin Nuo knew he couldn’t kill her with that, but was determined to make her suffer; how dare she act tough in front of me, Lin Nuo?

Come on, let’s do it again.

Lin Nuo sped away, merging into the whirlwind, and Su Kexin really struggled to pinpoint his location as she was bombarded repeatedly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After several explosions, Su Kexin was surrounded by destruction, with debris from the detonations everywhere. This was a crushing display of skill and combat technique.

The last time he lost, he thought he could take her down, but back then, Su Kexin was at her peak and he felt certain of victory, charging at her to finish her off.

But she blew up and countered, ending him instead.

Now, he’d adapted his approach—swing here, boom there; even if she exploded, he could escape.

After these rounds of bombardment, Su Kexin felt no real pain; alternatively, she felt exhilarated.

It had been a while since anyone had put her at a disadvantage.

No wonder he was such a significant man to her; she was rediscovering her passion.

Indeed, a long-lost passion.

Su Kexin stood up, powerful energy surging through her, as if her potential was being reignited.

“Lin Nuo, keep going. Use the same tactics!” Su Kexin called out, raising her voice.

“You want me to? Then fine, I will!”

Lin Nuo stayed hidden in the storm, his voice echoing in the space.

Not gonna do it. What’s it to you?

“We’ll face off directly with swords. That’s the real thrill.” Su Kexin chimed in.

“Are you joking with me? You want to face me sword for sword?”

“No reliance on spirit techniques, just pure sword skills.”

“Ha! Without spirit techniques, you’re nothing! What are you even saying?”

“Then I’ll just be nothing.”

With that, the space began to change, seemingly shrinking the world rapidly, leaving Lin Nuo with less room to retreat.

Suddenly, the scene transformed into a battling arena.
