The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 185
185. The Big Explosion
Liu Shuqin, Suke Xin, and the other members of the righteous clan fought valiantly, temporarily holding off a wave of ferocious beasts. The ground was littered with the corpses of these creatures, and the clan members rushed to collect the soul fragments, all except for Liu Shuqin and Suke Xin, who did not lift a finger.
“Senior sister, we’re just temporary reinforcements. The brothers have been guarding this place for a long time; they’ve had it much harder than us. Let’s leave these soul fragments for them.”
“Mm-hm, I was thinking the same thing. We haven’t really achieved any great feats, and they’ve been willing to host us, which I’m grateful for. Let’s leave the soul fragments for them.”
Liu Shuqin and Suke Xin were of one mind, thinking that the other righteous clan’s monks and priests deserved the soul fragments as a reward for their high merit.
At that moment, two monks came over with soul fragments and offered them to Liu Shuqin and Suke Xin.
“Miss Liu, Miss Su, you’ve both worked hard defending against the beasts. These are soul fragments from a mid-level beast. Please accept them.”
“No need, young master. Compared to you, we’ve done much less. Please keep them for yourselves.”
Suke Xin and Liu Shuqin politely declined the soul fragments offered by the other members, feeling unworthy of such gifts and firmly refusing to accept them.
Linuo, watching all this from a hiding spot, was dumbfounded. With the ground covered in beast corpses, they didn’t bother collecting soul fragments, and even when offered, they refused.
“Goodness, are they really that kind-hearted? Or have they seen through it?”
It seemed unlikely. Such secret arts, Suke Xin, that novice, surely couldn’t discern them. As for Liu Shuqin, her family was from the border town of Wutu City; perhaps she had come into contact with such ancient arts.
But given Liu Shuqin’s benevolent character, if she had realized something, she would definitely inform the others. She wouldn’t be as restrained as Linuo, who wouldn’t even tell his own disciples.
The fewer people who knew the secret of the soul fragments, the better, as they could be used for one’s own benefit.
Suke Xin hadn’t collected any soul fragments, so she couldn’t be pushed into an explosive state.
Should he throw some her way?
What if she exploded in rage and chased after him, taking him down? That girl was like a cheat code, fiercely powerful.
Defeat a cheat with another cheat?
Forget it. Although Lingmeng’s outburst was strong, he had sparred with her before. She hadn’t killed him, which clearly meant she wasn’t on Suke Xin’s level of cheating.
“Master, there are so many beasts, so many soul fragments, and they’re all going cheap. Aren’t we going to kill some?”
“I’m not going, save your energy.”
Go to hell, what if killing a certain beast causes a soul shard to drop and it explodes? I, your master, can’t withstand such a blast.
Besides, we’re now close to the sanctuary, it’s not good to use dark magic. If detected, we’ll be treated as enemies and beaten up.
The dark portal brought a horde of beasts, and with the concerted efforts of the righteous clan, all the attacking beasts were slain, quelling the uprising for the moment.
Most cultivators obtained soul shards from the beast corpses, but none could detect the secret techniques hidden within.
“Ke Xin, the defense here is almost done, let’s go check over there.”
“Mm, okay.”
Liu Shuqin pointed in a direction, and Su Kexin followed, leaving the members of the righteous clan.
Lin Nuo: “……”
Not picking up soul shards is one thing, but to also leave the explosion site? That’s just protagonist’s luck, missing out on the chance to burst forth.
I don’t believe you’re that lucky.
But as annoyed as he was, he had no choice but to follow and see if there was a chance to kill her or force her into an explosive state.
“Let’s go, follow them.”
“Master, why follow them?”
“They are Lin Nuo’s senior and junior sisters, our enemies, what do you think?”
“Oh, I see!”
Ling Meng only then remembered this, right, they were with Lin Nuo, follow them, find a chance to kill them.
…
At this moment, the beast tamers had already fled, and several witches had gathered together. They stood around the array stones, looking at each other, nodding.
Led by an old witch holding a skull staff, he would lead the witches in performing this ritual.
“The timing is right now, let’s start the ritual.”
The old witch said calmly, slightly raising the skull wand in his hand, chanting ancient spells.
The other witches followed the old witch’s rhythm, chanting the ancient spells.
Soon, the standing array stones emitted dazzling spiritual light, all the stones were activated.
The secret techniques hidden within the soul shards, now, they were about to take effect!
“The sanctuary will fall today, our pure land will soon arrive.”
The old witch raised the skull wand high, shouted, and the energy within the array extended across the land to all the soul shards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Whether near the sanctuary or around Zhou Ling City, earth-shattering sounds were heard, a large number of accumulated soul shards resonated, triggering a chain reaction, greatly enhancing the power of the explosion.
The entire land shook on the brink of collapse, and the jungle instantly turned into a sea of fire.
From noble mtl dot come
Burning, burning everything, all the creatures in the forest, in an instant, most became the victims of this bombardment!
The man who killed him in the dark, he must be dead, and those two self-righteous men and women, they must be dead too!
Alright, next, we’ll launch a major attack, and then the sorcerers within the sanctuary will come out to suppress.
That will be the perfect opportunity to seize the Three-Day Stone.
I believe that the great one will surely be able to take it.
The old wizard thought to himself and couldn’t help but laugh.
…
“Master, what’s happening?”
The sudden earth-shattering noise left Ling Meng bewildered.
“Don’t ask, it’s a huge explosion. They’ve gone back, we should follow.”
Just after Su Kexin and the others had left, a great explosion occurred, thinking that the source of the explosion came from where they had just departed, they hurried back, and Lin Nuo naturally took Ling Meng to catch up.
The result was entirely within his expectations; the soul fragments had exploded, and the force of the explosion was so strong that there must have been a very powerful team casting spells behind it, definitely more than one or two wizards.
The power of this secret technique lies in its snowball effect; a single soul fragment’s explosive force is weak, but a large pile accumulated together, mutually inducing, the lethality becomes extremely explosive.
They returned to the scene, where the Taoist monks were dead, maimed, or injured, the greedier they were, the more likely they were to die violently. Those who thought they had found a great treasure all ended up as companions in the underworld.
“Master, did you know in advance that we would find such a tragic scene? Why did it suddenly explode? There was no sign of any spellcasting.”
“I don’t know, don’t ask me.”
Lin Nuo naturally wouldn’t tell Ling Meng what was going on, he felt it wasn’t just about blowing people up, there might be more to come.
Sure enough, the dark portal appeared again, and the beastmaster led a large group of fierce beasts, fewer in number than before, but of a much higher level.
Organized, premeditated, after the explosion, a full-on assault.
Good, I like this kind of chaos.
