Chapter 950: Unable to Strike

Chapter 950: Unable to Strike

Golden light flashed, power surged, and Lin Nuo’s sword failed to kill Luo Xiaoxue, being blocked by the Great威天龙.

What the heck, I’ve gone mad, and I still can’t get rid of her Great威天龙.

Thinking back, the last time Luo Xiaoxue’s Great威天龙 was broken was when it was shattered by a God-level Giant Dragon in Huan Tian City, but that was ages ago, and she has since upgraded.

The biggest upgrade? She dual-cultivated with him!

Damn it, that dual-cultivation thing boosts strength quite a bit; just look at Ruo’er, Qin Shili, and Liu Shuqin—none of them didn’t improve.

Now this Luo Xiaoxue too, after this round of dual-cultivation, her shield must have become stronger.

This is bad news; one Su Kexin is hard enough, and now there’s another Luo Xiaoxue, and she has a Great威天龙!

Hmph…

Lin Nuo was pushed back several paces by the golden light, and at that moment, Luo Xiaoxue also sensed something was off.

“What’s wrong… Knight Lin, what’s happening? What’s with this golden light?”

In her panic, Luo Xiaoxue tried to turn around, but Lin Nuo said irritably:

“I told you not to turn around, didn’t you hear me?”

“Uh…”

Luo Xiaoxue felt a bit scared; what’s going on? Knight Lin’s tone is heavy… Did I do something wrong?

Lin Nuo stood up again, dusting himself off and gritting his teeth.

This is just ridiculous.

Now there’s no good way out; everything has gotten out of hand, and he’s the one who let it get out of hand. That Great威天龙 technique is just too outrageous; I wonder who’s stronger if I clash with Su Kexin’s explosive power.

Let’s try again.

Lin Nuo was naturally unwilling to back down; a prominent villain cannot simply submit like this!

Let’s hit her with another strike!

Lin Nuo focused again, energy swirling in a mix of Demon Soul Power and Spirit Power surged from his body, attempting to concentrate all his energy into his sword for a deadly blow against this Luo Xiaoxue.

This took concentration; he needed to stay focused and deliver a lethal strike.

But Lin Nuo found that after being rebounded by her golden light, his Demon Soul Power was challenging to mobilize, almost being restricted.

This girl indeed has anti-demon capabilities; that golden light possesses tremendous purifying power.

Just as he tried to suppress it a bit, resting for a while allowed him to redirect it; after all, he’s a BOSS-level entity, he wouldn’t be easily purified.

This is troublesome.

Lin Nuo sensed that mobilizing Demon Soul Power wasn’t working well; without it, relying solely on Spirit Power wouldn’t yield impressive results.

If this fight drags on, he might not kill her after all; instead, he risks being rebounded by her golden light again. Who knows what could happen then? That previous group of demon practitioners suffered quite a bit; the accumulated Demon Soul Power could vanish completely.

Forget it.

Lin Nuo forced himself to calm down, the Spirit Power swirling on his sword gradually dissipated.

Huh.

“Knight Lin? What’s, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“Why do I feel this Spirit Power is still swirling… Knight Lin, what exactly are you planning… That golden light… seems to be the ability granted to me by your Dao Fu?”

“Nothing’s wrong, just adjusting you a bit. It’s all good now.”

Lin Nuo lied; since he had no way to deal with her right now, he couldn’t expose his true nature in front of her—otherwise, she might come after him, making things quite troublesome.

Not just troublesome, but extremely so.

What a headache, one problem after another.

“Oh, you were just helping me adjust? Thank you, Knight Lin.”

Knight Lin is truly chivalrous; such good intentions, wonderful!

She felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

This man is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, gallant yet gentle.

She dreamed of ascending the throne soon and ruling the world with him, sharing the vast rivers and mountains, spending her life together.

Just thinking about it made her happy.

Though emperors can have multiple wives, if she becomes the Empress, surely she could manage it too.

But once you’ve seen the vast ocean, it’s hard to settle for less; one excellent Knight Lin is enough for her; no other man could enter her eyes again.

Besides, it was Knight Lin who chose her, not her who chose him; she should be grateful!

“Uh, Knight Lin, can I turn around now…?”

“You can.”

“Good.”

Luo Xiaoxue hurriedly turned around, then opened her arms again, intending to embrace Lin Nuo.

But once again, she caught nothing; Lin Nuo consciously dodged.

If she really hugged him, he surely would lose a lot of energy.

At least for now, Luo Xiaoxue held good intentions towards him, so he wouldn’t face any danger. But if she changes her feelings to hatred, who knows what could happen—it could lead to a nationwide manhunt.

Though he wasn’t afraid of the government’s army, he feared the Great威天龙, he still hadn’t found a way to break that tough shield.

“Knight Lin, did I do something wrong…? Why are you so cold towards me…?”

“You are about to become an Empress; you should have the demeanor of an emperor. This is not your room; you can’t act recklessly.”

“Then you can come to my chamber! The last time at the inn was too shabby; now that we’re in the palace, it’s much more comfortable. Knight Lin will surely be satisfied.”

“This isn’t the point; the point is you shouldn’t act like that so carelessly. How did someone like you become an emperor?”

“Uh… I couldn’t do it by my own abilities, but isn’t that why I have Knight Lin’s help? That’s how I got what I wanted.”

“Alright, enough already.”

He felt foolish for bringing this up; it was humiliating.

In an instant, government soldiers rushed over in an orderly formation, looking well-trained.

“Your Highness, I just sensed golden light and Spirit Power surging here. What happened?”

“Nothing, it’s just Knight Lin teaching me the way. Um… Knight Lin, you handle these people.”

Luo Xiaoxue passed the authority to Lin Nuo. He disdainfully glanced at the group and harshly spat out one word:

“Scram.”

“Did you hear that? Knight Lin commanded you; don’t you move!”

“Yes! Your Highness!”

The soldiers hurriedly retreated; disrupting their time alone was indeed a crime.

“Knight Lin, they’ve left. Alas, I can’t blame them; that golden light and Spirit Power really came too suddenly. They were just doing their duty. If I displeased Knight Lin, I could listen to you and punish them.”

“Punish them? Not interested.”

If he wanted to deal with them, he’d just kill them outright; he had no interest in punishment.

Minor pawns, not worth his effort.

However, after the minor soldiers left, other people approached.

Not just any ordinary folks.

Lin Nuo sensed Spirit Power approaching, quite a strong presence.

“Uh?”

Following the direction of the Spirit Power, Lin Nuo quickly spotted a woman in white and an old man in white coming over.

“So, both of you have come out of your mountain? Interesting.”

A cold smile crept across Lin Nuo’s lips; if they dared to come, he would welcome a grand showdown right here.

“That golden light just now, indeed…”

The old man muttered, stopping in his tracks,

“Lin Nuo, so it’s you here.”
