chapter 19
19. Brother Lin Nuo Saves You (One hundred tickets for an extra chapter)
Lin Nuo thought the leader of the demonic sect had been hit silly, spouting madness.
The sky isn’t dark, no wine has been drunk, what the hell are you talking about.
“I’m thoroughly convinced by my defeat, you can kill me now.”
Kill your brother-in-law, whether you live or die isn’t my damn business, Lin Nuo.
And do you think I’m stupid? What kind of morals do you people from the Demon Cultivation Sect have, trying to ambush me? Do you think I’d fall for it?
Lin Nuo ignored him, turning his gaze towards Su Kexin. As the two finished their fight and the demonic energy dissipated, Su Kexin’s second outburst calmed down.
Good, quietly go over and give a stab, sending the protagonist to heaven.
There’s no one left on the scene to stop her, today Su Kexin must die! Even Jesus can’t help, I say!
Lin Nuo, confident of victory, hid a sharp knife and walked up to Su Kexin.
The burst state is confirmed to be over; now is the perfect chance to finish her off.
Suke Xin, goodbye.
Just as Lin Nuo was about to strike with his knife, suddenly, a massive surge of energy approached.
“Lin Nuo, my child!”
“Junior brother!”
“Brother Lin Nuo!”
At this very moment…
From the south, Elder Yuan Heng flew in, gliding on his light skill.
From the east, Liu Shuqin leaped over the woods, rushing forward.
From the north, Zhao Yueqing and disciples from various sects ran through the distant woods.
From the west, several Taoist priests descended, flying on their swords.
People from all directions arrived, and everywhere was crowded with them.
What the heck?
Lin Nuo was stunned.
Dozens of eyes were watching him, every move blatantly exposed.
“Last year I bought a watch (WQNMGB). Thankfully, there’s no Jesus here…”
Lin Nuo withdrew his knife, halting his assassination attempt.
Otherwise, what? Stab her in front of so many people? I’d probably be captured as a spy for the Demon Refining Sect, a dead end either way.
Everyone was shocked to see the corpses scattered everywhere and the withered, drooping trees nearby, unable to imagine the fierce battle that had taken place here.
“Let’s save the survivors first.”
Elder Yuan shouted loudly, then walked over to Lin Nuo, “Child, are you alright?”
Lin Nuo was dumbfounded.
Alright? The protagonist isn’t dead, which is a big problem, you old fool.
Seeing that Lin Nuo was unharmed, Elder Yuan felt somewhat relieved, and the others went to help the weakened Suke Xin.
“The Demon Refining Sect, Du Xu?”
Elder Yuan noticed Du Xu, struggling with his hand on his chest, and his expression turned grave.
He quickly ran over, saying sternly, “Du Xu, your Demon Refining Sect has committed numerous evils, slaughtering the innocent. Now you have no way out, reaping what you’ve sown!”
“Heh, Elder Yuan, why bother putting on an act with me now? If you had come earlier, I would have killed you.”
Du Xu suddenly laughed like a madman, blood continuously flowing from his mouth, “Listen well, you cultivators! It’s not that I lost to you lot of trash, but to him, Lin Nuo!”
After a bout of crazed speech, Du Xu took his own life.
Lin Nuo was dumbfounded. Dead is dead, why are they still calling his name?
The Demon Refining Sect’s assassination plan was a complete failure. Elder Yuan and others rushed to the scene to rescue the surviving disciples. Many disciples were just overly bloodied or weak from fainting, still salvageable.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it. These demonic cultists were actually killed by Hero Lin.”
“Yes, I just saw him from afar fighting so many cultists alone.”
“Even the ruthless Du Xu admitted defeat to him.”
“The most unbelievable thing is that he doesn’t have a single injury.”
…
Everyone looked at Lin Nuo and started discussing. Lin Nuo single-handedly annihilated all the cultists without a scratch, which made them admire him to the point of prostration.
“Young man, I’m very grateful to you for saving my disciples,” said the white-haired old man surnamed Wang, gripping Lin Nuo’s hand excitedly.
“I didn’t save them.”
“You don’t have to be modest, young man. I just saw you fighting the Demon Refining Sect’s cultists from a distance, and the severely injured Du Xu kept saying he lost to you. No one will question your strength.”
“…”
No, no, why don’t you question it? How could I possibly defeat so many Demon Refining Sect cultists alone?
“Child, I also vaguely saw you fighting the Demon Refining Sect cultists on my way here. You’ve worked hard, child. You go back first, and leave the rest to us,” Elder Yuan patted Lin Nuo’s shoulder.
Lin Nuo: “…”
Why does this feel a bit ominous…
…
Candle Star Town, Warming Pavilion District.
After who knows how long, Su Kexin woke up to find herself lying in an unfamiliar bed.
“Where is this?”
She asked softly, slightly sitting up.
“You’re awake. Here, I’ve made some porridge for you, have a little.”
Sitting by the bedside was Zhao Yueqing, bringing over a bowl of clear porridge to Su Kexin.
Su Kexin puzzled: “Yueqing, where is this?”
Zhao Yueqing smiled: “This is the residence provided by the mayor of Candle Star Town. You fainted, so you’re resting here for now. You were very weak when you first passed out, but later your recovery was astonishing. The doctor said you’re fine, just bandage the wounds and rest.”
I passed out?
Su Kexin tried to recall. At that time, she seemed to be surrounded by a group of black-clad Demon Refining Sect cultists, and there was that traitor, Xu Yudong, trying to kill her.
“I, I actually didn’t die… I was clearly covered in wounds…”
“You should thank Brother Lin Nuo for that. He bravely went to save you,” Zhao Yueqing said with a smile.
