60. A Lone Man and a Single Woman Take Flight
Not far away, a silver-haired girl witnessed this astonishing scene.
Lin Nuo, carrying the princess on his back, had actually detonated the small warehouse, triggering an explosion that shook the mountains and rivers.
Qin Shili, from a distinguished family, had seen the princess before and recognized her.
“Has he gone mad? Does he truly seek mutual destruction?”
As the intense bombardment approached, she hastily erected an ice wall and retreated quickly. The ice wall shattered under the impact of the explosion, but fortunately, she managed to retreat to safety.
Before her lay a sea of fire, devoid of life.
She had not expected Lin Nuo to pull such a stunt. She had thought to assist him if the enemy proved too strong, but she never imagined he would choose such an extreme path, opting for mutual destruction through detonation.
This was no ordinary explosion; she could sense the intense demonic energy. The small warehouse must have been filled with a great amount of demonic spirits’ energy, and the force of the explosion would have endangered her life if she hadn’t retreated in time.
Was it the Black Scale Stone that had detonated? Had he bought the Black Scale Stone with the intention of perishing with the enemy?
The attackers from the Dark Alliance had all turned to ash, the fire consuming the forest, sparing no life.
She saw not a soul, not a single living creature.
“He can’t possibly survive.”
Gazing upon the sea of flames, Qin Shili concluded that Lin Nuo, being so close to the explosion’s origin with the princess, would surely perish, shattered to pieces. Even she herself could hardly ensure survival when approaching the blast source, let alone fathom any reason for Lin Nuo to remain alive.
Moreover, there was no longer any sign of life here.
“It seems he’s nothing but a reckless man after all. How could Senior Dao Yuan ever wish to be near him?”
Qin Shili’s face was frosty. Ever since Lin Nuo’s bizarre achievements in the Wind Sea Forest trial, she had been keeping an eye on him. Hearing that the Dao Yuan Spirit Cat from the Zi Shu Pavilion was willing to approach him only made the man seem more unfathomable, surely possessing extraordinary talents. This time, upon discovering his purchase of Black Scale Stone in the black market, she was even more eager to observe his next move. Yet, the outcome was him using the Black Scale Stone to detonate and perish alongside his enemies.
There were clearly wiser methods available. At the very least, he could have used dense miasma smoke to confuse the enemy and then take the chance to escape, or perhaps engage in verbal sparring before striking unexpectedly. But to detonate directly, such a decision was indeed difficult to articulate.
Although Lin Nuo had slain a heavenly beast during his last trial, just like her, she never truly believed he was more astute than herself. She would struggle to survive near the blast source, and with Lin Nuo carrying the princess, burdened with an extra load, escape from such a dire situation was impossible, not even a whole corpse would remain.
“Let’s go back, as if we were never here.”
As the flames burned, Qin Shili withdrew her hand imbued with icy chill and vanished into the woods.
…
In the sky, amidst the clouds, a certain handsome fellow was still soaring.
Of course, soaring towards the heavens.
【I’ve been careless, too careless】
Lin Nuo felt fortunate to have escaped with his life, but now faced another grave issue.
Propelled by the violent explosion, they shot up into the sky. According to physical laws, their ascent would gradually slow due to gravity and air resistance, eventually reaching a peak before descending.
In theory, that was the case, but Lin Nuo had no idea when they would reach this apex, as they continued to soar without pause.
He seriously doubted whether Luo Yi’s halo could not only withstand the explosive force but also negate resistance. At this rate, wouldn’t they reach the stratosphere?
Goodness, while others talked about the stratosphere, he was literally heading for the physical stratosphere, fast-forwarding to a space suicide. Ascending from a fantasy world of cultivation to a sci-fi space realm, it was a meteoric rise indeed.
But as impressive as that was, he wasn’t ready to die. The protagonist, Su Kexin, was still alive, and he had to return to build the Villain Alliance.
Yet, he couldn’t stop; he had no way to halt their ascent, and within the halo, he couldn’t even feel the icy high-altitude chill or the raging winds.
Indeed, the black market sold no fakes; this Violent Eruption Pill was fierce, just excessively so. Luo Yi’s self-preservation abilities had ascended to a divine level.
If he had such power, would he have been stabbed by Su Kexin in the first place? With an indestructible golden body, he could easily retaliate, couldn’t he?
This rare species named Luo Yi, why hadn’t he discovered it before?
“Master Lin, where are we now?”
“Just open your eyes and see for yourself.”
“Mmm…”
Luo Xiaoxue gently opened her eyes, only to see wisps of white mist and clouds flashing by.
Instinctively looking down, she saw a tiny expanse of land, the sprawling mountain ranges like a corner of a map, all within her sight.
Ah, are we in the sky?!
Realizing this, Luo Xiaoxue panicked and quickly buried her head in Lin Nuo’s back, clinging to him tightly.
She was afraid of heights, terrified even on tall buildings, let alone now, suspended thousands of miles high in the sky, her heart trembling with fear, always worried she might fall.
Luo Xiaoxue’s emotions suddenly fluctuated, the halo was strongly affected, rapidly fracturing.
Soon, it split open.
Then, Lin Nuo also split open.
High above, the fierce wind howled, the cold biting to the bone, their soaring flight finally extinguished.
Then came the crash.
“Ah!!”
A man and a woman’s cries echoed in the sky, Lin Nuo still remembered the fear dominated by roller coasters from years past.
