The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

11. Celestial Dragon

“Indeed, the beasts are all inside.”

Su Kexin chopped down another Earth-level beast, making it three in total.

Beasts are categorized into five levels: Hatchling, Earth, Intermediate, Celestial, Divine; and there are many types, such as Immortal Beasts, Demonic Beasts, and Mystical Beasts. Su Kexin had successively chopped down a Hatchling-level and two Earth-level Mystical Beasts, a commendable feat. This wave of real combat trials had indeed brought her considerable gains.

Liu Shuqin easily killed an Intermediate-level two-headed snake and an Earth-level sprinting wolf. For her, a Sixth Order Spiritual Realm, they were no challenge at all.

Lin Nuo still had a score of zero. To be honest, he had only ever slain beasts of the celestial rank or higher; these demon beasts were beneath his notice.

He let Su Kexin fight, at least he could observe her moves.

Look at that, a complete novice.

“Junior brother, it’s your turn to make a move. I came here to guide you in real combat, but it’s been the junior sister fighting all along.”

“It’s fine, if the junior sister loves to fight, let her fight.”

“Junior brother!”

Liu Shuqin was somewhat angry, “I’ve just explained to you how to battle and even demonstrated it. You can’t let my efforts go to waste. Advancing your cultivation still mainly relies on your own hard work.”

Liu Shuqin continued to nag earnestly, making Lin Nuo’s ears itch.

It’s not like I asked for your guidance. Alright, alright, enough already, let’s just fight.

Lin Nuo stretched his limbs and just happened to see an earth-rank wolf-dog. Alright, you’ll do.

Just as Lin Nuo was about to charge at the wolf-dog with his sword, a blade qi suddenly flew out from the side. Lin Nuo quickly dodged, and the blade qi struck the wolf-dog, killing it instantly.

“Sorry, but I’ll be taking this demon beast.”

A few disciples from other sects, dressed in grey Taoist robes, walked down from the tree branches. Leading them was a man wielding a large saber, named Liu Fei.

Liu Fei walked up to the wolf-dog, crouched down, and slightly extended his palm towards the dead wolf-dog. At that moment, a piece of soul spirit fragment emitting a faint light appeared on the wolf-dog’s body.

“An earth-rank soul spirit fragment, better than nothing.”

Liu Fei grabbed the fragment and put it into his pouch.

Soul spirit fragments, a type of spiritual object fused with the spirit veins within a beast’s body, would separate from the spirit veins upon the beast’s death. Then, cultivators could extract it through their cultivation techniques.

Soul spirit fragments had many uses; they could be used for crafting spiritual tools and weapons, aiding in cultivation, enhancing formations, and more. The higher the rank, the stronger the effect.

On the market, fledgling and earth-rank soul spirit fragments were common and not valuable. Intermediate ones could sell for a bit of money, but celestial-rank ones were extremely rare, now fetching sky-high prices. As for divine-rank, needless to say, they were priceless and sought after but rarely found.

Lin Nuo glanced at Liu Fei’s bulging pouch and thought, Are you here to collect junk?

“Liu Fei, you suddenly made a move and almost hurt my junior brother. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Liu Shuqin was somewhat indignant.

“That’s not my concern.”

Liu Fei said with a frivolous smile, “When you’re out and about, if you’re not careful, who can you blame? Ah? There’s a fledgling-rank black rabbit over there.”

Liu Fei suddenly spotted a black rabbit by the bushes, his greed knowing no bounds as he aimed to take as much as he could.

With his knife skills, one slash and the black rabbit would be dead.

Chop!

The rabbit didn’t run; the large saber fell straight onto it.

However, the saber stopped on the surface of the black rabbit, unable to cut through.

At that moment, Lin Nuo also noticed the black rabbit, its red eyes staring at everyone.

Hmm?

Lin Nuo looked at the gentle black rabbit, its tiny teeth bared.

Oh ho, it’s the scent of doom.

“How could…”

Liu Fei was startled. Was it just a fledgling black rabbit that his great sword couldn’t even cut through?!

In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual force burst forth from within the black rabbit. Its small body exploded, and a black four-legged dragon emerged.

“What, what is this?!”

Before Liu Fei could react, the black dragon opened its massive maw and devoured him whole.

Lin Nuo shook his head; indeed, this one was a sacrifice to the heavens, a cannon fodder not meant to last beyond three lines of dialogue.

The sudden transformation of the gentle fledgling black rabbit into a ferocious black dragon took everyone by surprise.

“What is this?!”

“A Slave Dragon, a celestial-grade demonic dragon, adept at concealing its presence,” said Liu Shuqin, holding her jade sword calmly. “A demonic dragon, beyond the category of mere beasts. How could a celestial-grade demonic dragon appear here? Junior brothers and sisters, this dragon is fierce. Retreat behind me.”

Su Kexin complied, quickly hiding behind Liu Shuqin. Lin Nuo, observing the turn of events, also took cover behind them.

After all, Lin Nuo was the villain of a world-ending demonic path, and he knew at first glance that the black rabbit was a Slave Dragon in disguise.

Celestial-grade demonic dragons were rare; it wouldn’t come to this forsaken place of Fenghai Forest without reason.

Seeing their senior brother devoured, Liu Fei’s junior brothers and sisters were enraged. They charged together, attacking the Slave Dragon furiously.

But against a celestial-grade demonic dragon, those disciples stood no chance. Their attacks failed to harm it, and they were instead wounded by its claws, forced to retreat.

At that moment, a thick white fog emerged in the jungle, reducing visibility significantly. They couldn’t even make out the form of the Slave Dragon clearly.

“Why has fog suddenly appeared?”

Su Kexin looked at the strange white fog, somewhat frightened.

“Even natural fog wouldn’t thicken so suddenly. Someone’s casting a spell,” realized Liu Shuqin, sensing the gravity of the situation. “We must withdraw.”

Liu Shuqin provided cover, ordering Lin Nuo and Su Kexin to retreat the way they came. The injured disciples also hurriedly evacuated. But at that moment, several black-clad figures wielding sharp weapons emerged from the jungle, launching a swift assault on Lin Nuo and the others.

The disciples of the Imperial Forest Sect also engaged in battle with the black-clad figures, creating a scene of utter chaos.

“Junior sister, you must not engage them in battle. I’ll cover you; you and junior brother retreat quickly!”

Liu Shuqin shouted, then channeled her spirit into her sword, summoning several sword shadows to meet the black-clad figures.

Su Kexin also fought hard to defend, retreating while battling.

“Ah? Where’s senior brother?!”

In the midst of the fight, Su Kexin realized that Lin Nuo was nowhere to be seen.

“The Xuanpan, check the Xuanpan.”

She instinctively took out the Xuanpan to check Lin Nuo’s green dot location and found it nearby.

She went to the location of the green dot but did not find Lin Nuo.

“Senior brother, where are you! Reply to me!”

However, there was no response.

…

“Finally got this darn thing off.”

Lin Nuo slipped out of the crowd amidst the chaos, using his disassembler skills to take off the spirit ring and toss it aside.

But the green dot related to him on the Xuanpan did not disappear.

Could there be a delay? Such a close range and still a delay, are they using 1G internet?

Lin Nuo thought, the appearance of the magic dragon, white fog, and men in black together was definitely not a coincidence.

Regardless, his situation was now excellent, with white fog and chaos, an ideal villainous environment.

All he needed to do now was to track Su Kexin, find an opportunity to assassinate her, then make his escape, and his great achievement would be complete.

Alright, let’s check the Xuanpan, find her location, and follow.

He heard a faint sound from the weeds, and in a flash, a man in black wielding a blade fiercely attacked him.

Lin Nuo slightly shifted his body, dodging the blade just in time.

“Heh, forgot about these riff-raff.”

He sneered coldly, drawing his sharp longsword.
