NOVEL WEB chapter 147
147. Advanced Demonic Technique
—
The demonic celestial maiden, Ling Meng, had erupted. She was harnessing an indescribable power, and with just a slight movement of her fingers, she could draw Lin Nuo towards her.
This strength was far more terrifying than Lin Nuo had imagined. At least for the time being, Su Kexin was not capable of wielding such formidable power.
Oh, perhaps now she could, considering a considerable time had passed since the Feng Hailin incident, and she had also accidentally advanced earlier than expected.
Not being able to kill the protagonist felt like an eternity, not knowing how many years had passed.
Of course, now was not the time to think about Su Kexin. He had to find a way to break free from this accursed demonic celestial maiden.
The current Ling Meng saw the three Taoist priests as targets to be eliminated. However, for Lin Nuo, she regarded him more like a delicious prey, eager to chew and swallow him bit by bit.
Lin Nuo’s hidden weapons were ineffective, all blocked by the demonic aura surrounding Ling Meng. As for spiritual techniques, it was advised to save his energy to warm his belly, as he was no match for her.
After struggling for a while, Lin Nuo found himself helplessly drawn to Ling Meng’s side.
Lin Nuo was unclear about what this sinful witch intended to do with him. He had stopped struggling, but that did not mean he had given up resistance.
As a world-ending villain, if he couldn’t even handle a demonic celestial maiden still in development, it would be a disgrace to his notorious reputation.
However, the development stage referred to her power. Of course, if her body was still developing, that would be quite something.
Lin Nuo had reached Ling Meng’s side. The witch had no intention of killing him. Instead, she was sizing up an interesting prey, even leaning in to sniff the scent on him.
Her little tongue licked the corner of her mouth, and her right hand brushed Lin Nuo’s face, gently pinching it, making her sickly smile even more terrifying.
A man very suitable for her, or rather, his constitution was incredibly attractive to her, and she couldn’t bear to kill him.
Lin Nuo remained calm, with a plan already forming in his mind. There was an unabsorbed demonic soul force near Ling Meng, which he could fully utilize, but he had to choose the right moment to subdue her.
But now didn’t seem to be the time. Her attention was all on him. If he acted rashly, he might provoke her, which would be like stepping on a tiger’s tail, undoubtedly seeking his own death.
Dying at the hands of a demonic person would be a huge embarrassment.
Ling Meng flicked her fingers again, and Lin Nuo was completely embraced in her arms.
Then she held Lin Nuo tightly, rendering his body immobile.
Ling Meng had a strong fragrance and a powerful demonic aura. Lin Nuo’s demonic root had not yet awakened, and if the demonic aura was too intense, his body felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Ling Meng leaned close to Lin Nuo’s face, sniffing his scent, and her little tongue lightly licked his cheek.
He was like a rabbit caught by a tiger, toyed with by the tiger, first slowly licked for taste, then savored as a delicious meal.
Lin Nuo held his breath, enduring for now, knowing there would be a chance to break free and counterattack.
Meanwhile, Taoist priest Wu Hui had not given up on killing Ling Meng. Seeing his two fellow priests strangled to death by her, rage ignited in his heart.
He was also seeking an opportunity. Now, as Ling Meng tightly embraced Lin Nuo, he began to gather his spiritual power, inching closer to Ling Meng unnoticed.
Yes, now is the time, strike!
The Fierce Spirit Palm, charged with nearly all his spiritual power, struck from behind Ling Meng.
Sensing the incoming Fierce Spirit Palm, the sickly smile on Ling Meng’s face vanished instantly, and she immediately turned to counter Wu Hui’s attack with a blast of dense demonic energy.
Boom!
The two powerful forces collided, creating a thunderous noise that shattered the forest and broke the rocks.
“Ah!!”
In a brief head-on confrontation, Wu Hui was no match for Ling Meng, who had absorbed demonic soul power and was in a state of eruption. He was sent flying dozens of meters away by the impact.
He hit the ground, rolled, and spat out blood.
His body’s spiritual meridians were damaged, rendering him unable to continue the fight.
Damn it, to be defeated by this evil witch…
Ling Meng felt it was still necessary to kill these little ants; otherwise, they would always interfere, somewhat dampening her enjoyment.
However, she suddenly felt as if her body was bound by something.
And Lin Nuo, who had been in her arms, took advantage of her momentary distraction with Wu Hui to quickly set up a formation and break free.
The Demonic Binding Array, a magic array capable of restraining the opponent’s movements.
The Demonic Binding Array has two characteristics: it has a general range area. The larger the area, the harder it is to set up, and the smaller it is, the harder it is to set up. However, Lin Nuo was able to swiftly set up a Demonic Binding Array that could only trap one person, something only he could accomplish under the heavens.
Using the massive amount of demonic soul power around Ling Meng that had not been fully absorbed, Lin Nuo used the Demonic Binding Array to restrain her movements.
But as the erupting Demonic Celestial Maiden, Ling Meng would not be easily controlled. She struggled to break through the array, with intense demonic energy and soul power surging out.
But since Lin Nuo had found the opportunity to act, he would certainly do his utmost, ensuring that Ling Meng would not break free and capture him again.
Two outcomes were possible: either he would die from overusing magic, or Ling Meng would be subdued.
Lin Nuo was more familiar with demonic techniques than anyone else, and now he was about to make a bold attempt.
“Dark Soul Vortex.”
He brought his middle and index fingers together, whispering these four words.
The advanced demonic technique, Dark Soul Vortex.
An upgraded version of the Demonic Binding Array technique, which triggers when the demonic soul power and demonic energy within the array reach a critical point.
Lin Nuo’s own demonic soul power was certainly not enough to trigger the Dark Soul Vortex, but the demonic energy and soul power around Ling Meng could, a tactic known as using the enemy’s strength against them.
At that moment, a black vortex emerged beneath Ling Meng, accompanied by a dark whirlwind that enveloped her, suppressing her eruptive power. The more demonic energy and soul power within the vortex’s area, the stronger the Dark Soul Vortex’s power.
This move was proven effective against practitioners of demonic techniques. Practitioners not only rely on spiritual power but also on demonic energy and soul power. Once these appear, they enhance the power of the Dark Soul Vortex.
This created a situation where the more one struggled, the weaker they became, and their power was suppressed more quickly.
Of course, this required the caster to have high endurance and mental strength. Lin Nuo exerted all his strength to control the Dark Soul Vortex, causing multiple wounds to burst open on his body, bleeding continuously, and in excruciating pain.
He could endure it; as a formidable antagonist, such pain was trivial.
The Taoist priest Wu Hui, lying on the side, was even astonished. He had never seen such a technique and couldn’t determine whether it was a demonic practice or something else. However, the fact that it could suppress Ling Meng indicated that its power was far superior to his own.
“Who are you, really…” Wu Hui uttered with difficulty.
“Little priest, if you don’t want to die, scram,” Lin Nuo said coldly.
