NOVEL WEB chapter 139
139. The Frustration of the Demonic Celestial Maiden (Third Update)
The conflict between the Lianmo Sect and Heilong Hall was imminent, fighting fiercely, with blood flying and screams unending.
Boom!
A wave of chaotic demonic energy came hurtling over, and Lin Nuo, with quick reflexes, dodged, causing a huge hole to burst open in the Li Pavilion.
Dust and smoke spread everywhere, and Lin Nuo looked at the large hole.
“This wave of chaotic demonic energy is somewhat impressive.”
Like observing a piece of art, Lin Nuo gave a fair assessment.
Indeed, she was a woman with a remarkable talent for demonic techniques, possessing such formidable strength at a young age.
In this martial world vendetta, he was merely a passerby, better to leave early.
The hole blown open was just right, no need to bother with the main entrance.
“Farewell.”
“Think you can leave?”
Ling Meng wasn’t about to let the thief who attacked her get away so easily. She was determined to tear him to pieces, so she quickly gave chase, using the boost from her demonic techniques to greatly increase her speed and caught up with Lin Nuo.
“Thief, die!”
Ling Meng pursued and launched another Chaotic Demon Wave at Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo was very familiar with this demonic technique, almost knowing the routine by heart, and easily dodged it all.
If Lin Nuo wanted to flee, he could completely use the Phantom Clone Technique to confuse the opponent, but now he had changed his mind.
His plan was to focus on one thing at a time. This trip to Fengyuan Town was to hit the black market to buy contraband for his laboratory. He was determined to focus solely on this, but now that a spanner had been thrown in the works, he might as well adapt his plan. After all, he couldn’t just return empty-handed; he had to gain something from this.
Since Ling Meng took the initiative to engage him, he was happy to oblige and see the level of this demonic idol now.
During their exchanges, Lin Nuo was always dodging, while Ling Meng kept launching attacks, each of which Lin Nuo observed closely.
In his previous life, he was at the pinnacle of the demonic path, a master-level figure, with no one understanding the demonic techniques better than him.
“The power is decent, but too reckless, full of openings.”
“Stop being so arrogant, thief!”
Ling Meng felt as if she was being mocked and insulted. She figured that those who learned demonic techniques were all concentrated in the Cult of Demonic Refinement. Despite her young age, she had always believed she had an exceptional talent for demonic arts, even surpassing her seniors. And here was an unknown member from the Heilong Hall, daring to critique her.
Enraged, her desire to destroy Lin Nuo intensified, wishing only to kill him as a sacrifice to the heavens to quell her anger.
Boom!
Another fierce Chaotic Demon Wave was unleashed, destroying rows of houses and igniting a raging fire.
“Very good, this momentum is excellent, but still the same problem, too reckless.”
Lin Nuo evaluated Ling Meng’s every powerful move. After several exchanges, he had gained a certain understanding of her overall level.
In summary: high talent, strong power, but the use of moves was not mature enough, rather too reckless.
This was not surprising. For someone who had been praised all the way and had a smooth journey, without experiencing bitter failure, coupled with her young age and lack of experience, recklessness was normal.
However, it was precisely because of these shortcomings that she had value for cultivation.
If one relied solely on power, they would ultimately not be able to defeat the protagonist. A truly excellent antagonist has more than just power.
“Thief, don’t be arrogant! Always dodging, what’s the point! Dare to face me head-on?!”
“Fine.”
Lin Nuo thought it was about time to end this, having observed Ling Meng’s strength sufficiently.
As Ling Meng launched another demonic attack, Lin Nuo used the Wind Spirit Ring to boost his speed, easily dodging her assault and quickly advancing towards her.
Spiritual power surged into his palm, and Lin Nuo swung out his right hand.
“This is your Chaotic Demon Wave.”
Bang!
A Chaotic Demon Wave emerged in response, striking Ling Meng and sending her flying back several meters.
How could he do it too?!
Ling Meng was astonished. This was indeed a demonic technique, the Chaotic Demon Wave, not something that ordinary members of the Cult of Demonic Refinement could access.
Yet he executed it with ease.
It was truly unbelievable.
Although the power of this Chaotic Demon Wave was not strong, roughly at the level a novice would encounter when first learning, and she was protected by her spiritual energy, she was only slightly pushed back several meters, without any harm to her body.
If he had unleashed the Chaotic Demon Wave with even half of her power, striking her at such close range, she might have sustained serious injuries.
This man…
At that moment, Lino leapt onto the rooftop, casting back a smile:
“We’ll meet again.”
With a whoosh, Lino swiftly navigated between the rooftops, quickly vanishing from sight.
Like a fleeting visit, coming and going in haste, waving his sleeve without taking a single cloud.
“I’m so angry!”
Ling Meng bit down on her teeth, unable to vent her fury. After a brief duel, feeling good and seemingly having the upper hand, she still couldn’t harm Lino. Not only that, but she was mocked by him, and finally hit by his Chaotic Demon Wave. The damage was minor, but the insult was profound, as if to say, he disdained to make a move himself.
“Next time, I won’t let you off!”
Rage simmered in Ling Meng’s heart, now she longed to slay a crowd to cool her anger.
The scene of Ling Meng’s recent clash with Lino was witnessed by Mu Yiting, who had just emerged from the council chamber.
It was that youth, his bearing and movements extremely similar to Lino’s. As for his face, it was dark with scars, making it hard to distinguish.
At first glance, although he seemed at a disadvantage, always dodging, he was more at ease than Ling Meng, drawing her into making a move and then easily evading, like a mentor gauging the strength of his disciple.
“Miss, our situation is dire, we must retreat quickly.”
The attendants desperately shielded Mu Yiting, attempting to break through the encirclement.
Seeing Mu Yiting and her group emerge, Jun issued a command, signaling his men to change targets and attack Mu Yiting’s group with full force.
“We must complete the mission!”
Jun charged towards Mu Yiting’s side, engaging them in fierce combat.
Three forces clashed in battle, with more and more people running from the outskirts, plunging the entire Tianhui District into chaos, with blood flying and screams echoing through heaven and earth.
Facing the enemy’s onslaught, Mu Yiting felt overwhelmed, seemingly aware of who these attackers were.
From the beginning, she had been targeted, and now it seemed she was to be caught in a net.
Jun charged forward, swinging his sharp blade.
“Die!”
Mu Yiting had no time to dodge, and it seemed she would be pierced.
Boom!
A surge of an overpowering Chaotic Demon Wave swept through, toppling a swath of people, with Jun caught squarely by the wave, spewing bright red blood.
Whether it was Jun or Mu Yiting’s group, struck by the sudden powerful Chaotic Demon Wave, a large crowd was scattered.
And Jun, at the center of the wave, was killed instantly, while Mu Yiting and her group suffered various degrees of injury.
“Pathetic, you all deserve to die.”
Ling Meng was now seething with rage, ready to sacrifice these people to the heavens, as a powerful wave of demonic energy directly annihilated a large group.
Those who oppose the Demon Refining Sect will never meet a good end.
“Protect the lady! Miss, run!”
Several attendants exerted their utmost effort to shield Mu Yiting, guiding her to safety, adhering to their lord’s wishes, determined to ensure Mu Yiting’s survival at all costs.
“I’m sorry…”
Filled with self-reproach, Mu Yiting, tears streaming down her face, desperately fled.
Meanwhile, the handsome Lin had already returned to his rental room.
