192. It’s Your Scent
It seems that events are unfolding just as Linuo wishes.
The sorcerer is defeated, Suke Xin collapses after her outburst, and even the impulsive and reckless Ling Meng has passed out. Now, who can stop him from executing his plan?
No one, absolutely no one. The outside world is ablaze with battle; how could there be any? He himself has destroyed the Three Heavens Stone, the sanctuary explodes and sinks, everyone must die.
He still has two crystals hidden away, which should sustain him until the destruction of the Three Heavens Stone.
He had thought that Suke Xin and Ling Meng’s outburst would only wear down the sorcerer, but to his surprise, their joint attack brought him down.
Logically, considering their development and combat power, they shouldn’t have been able to defeat the sorcerer, inflicting some damage was possible.
But in reality, they shattered him.
This might touch upon his blind spots in knowledge, like quantum mechanics or something, which he can’t explain for now.
Lin Nuo contemplated a theory, the law where one plus one is greater than two, where the chosen ones from opposing factions erupted together, growing stronger upon meeting strength, triggering a quantum explosion and soaring in power.
Together they struck, in perfect sync, united against the outside world, shattering the sorcerer’s spiritual shield.
A philosophical conundrum, without consciousness, yet conscious.
First, to crush the external foe, then to turn inward, for one mountain cannot hold two tigers, a fight to the death must ensue.
In the end, both fell together, their bodies bleeding profusely.
Lin Nuo dared not touch them, fearing a second outburst. If it did happen, he would be the next to ascend to heaven.
Now was the chance to destroy the Three-Day Stone, then flee on his sword, the prudent course.
Lin Nuo returned to the hovering Three-Day Stone; it was time to demonstrate true skill.
The crystals were ready, supplying Lin Nuo with spiritual power.
Two crystals should suffice to break the barrier.
In the radiant light of the Three-Day Stone, he saw the future, his own future of ruling the world.
All the endured humiliation was for that moment of glory.
The protagonist must die, the antagonist must rise!
But perhaps it was an illusion, for the noise outside seemed much quieter than before.
Maybe they had all perished.
No matter, it didn’t affect him.
The scales of fortune had tipped in his favor, with the right time, place, and people, nothing could stop his grand plan!
Just as Lin Nuo was about to break the barrier surrounding the Three-Day Stone, a strong presence approached, even a chill wind blew, causing him to shiver.
Footsteps, drawing near the altar!
What the—?!
They came, someone came, with a strong aura, not just one person.
The recent fierce battle within the altar had distracted him from the noise outside, which had quieted down after the fight.
Lin Nuo had an ominous premonition.
Perhaps it wasn’t that everyone outside had died, but…
Suddenly, many people approached from all directions.
Yellow-robed sorcerers, surviving Taoists, the beautiful and elegant senior sister, and…
What the—?! Who was that silver-haired woman?! Qin Shili!
Aren’t you always aloof and proud? Coveting the righteous group’s reward, coming to defend the altar?!
The crowd emerging from all sides made Lin Nuo drop his crystals.
He had to run, but wait, there was nowhere to run.
“That person?”
Qin Shili saw Lin Nuo by the Sanshi Stone and felt he looked familiar.
“That hero is named Wu Yingge. He previously killed the ‘Poison Bee’ assassin in Zhouling City, accumulated merit, and later joined the Five Stars Group.”
Liu Shuqin explained, looking around at Su Kexin and Ling Meng lying in a pool of blood, “Kexin, Miss Wu!”
Liu Shuqin hurried over to Su Kexin. After a preliminary observation, she found her breath weak, her pulse erratic, and the bleeding from her wounds severe, requiring urgent treatment.
Liu Shuqin knew some medical techniques and temporarily stabilized Su Kexin and Ling Meng’s injuries, but they must receive more advanced treatment.
“This altar…”
Elder Yuan and the sorcerers surveyed the tragic surroundings, the various broken walls and ruins, surely the aftermath of a fierce battle.
“Where are Cang Zhao and Zhou Zhuo?”
A sorcerer wondered aloud, as arrangements had been made for two sorcerers to guard the altar during their battle, yet they were nowhere to be seen.
From noble mtl dot come
“Zhou Zhuo, he’s been poisoned severely, with a giant snake beside him, presumably poisoned by the snake. He needs immediate detoxification, or his life will be in danger.”
A sorcerer found Zhou Zhuo nearby, poisoned by the snake, his spiritual aura no longer sufficient to protect him, now in critical condition.
“How did a giant snake get in? We need to detoxify him first, and also treat those two ladies.”
The other sorcerers who had returned began to cast spells, not only detoxifying the fallen sorcerer but also Su Kexin and Ling Meng.
As for Lin Nuo on the altar, he had already stopped casting spells and now, like a rare animal, was being watched by everyone, with no escape.
Originally, with many fierce beasts outside and their numbers few, it seemed impossible to quell them quickly.
He hadn’t anticipated that reinforcements would arrive, among them Qin Shili.
Qin Shili possessed the Ice Spirit Root, and her ice magic was a large-scale group attack spell. Although there were many beasts, under the impact of her ice magic, they were all frozen, and their extinction was just a matter of time.
No wonder it suddenly got colder; it was her arrival.
Qin Shili kept her gaze fixed on Lin Nuo atop the altar. After a fierce battle in the surroundings, with limbs and remains scattered everywhere, that man was still unharmed.
Moreover, she couldn’t sense any strong aura from him, yet she had an intuition that he was a powerful being.
Like Lin Nuo, without the aura of a strong being, yet giving the impression of one, transcendent and extraordinary.
Without a word, Qin Shili, relying on her lightness skill, floated up to the altar and approached Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo didn’t know her intentions, but he couldn’t lose his composure. Although he was likely to be mistaken for the villain who destroyed the altar and killed the sorcerers, he still maintained an innocent appearance.
If questioned, he would play innocent, claiming he had just arrived and knew nothing.
Qin Shili’s cold gaze never left Lin Nuo, and when she was less than a meter away, she stopped and said in a low voice:
“You are Lin Nuo.”
“?! “
Oh no, have I been recognized?
Perhaps the makeup and scars on my face have fallen off, and I’ve been recognized.
Denial, firm denial.
“What Lin Nuo?” Lin Nuo feigned ignorance.
“There’s no need to pretend anymore. You like using pseudonyms outside, and although your makeup is different from last time, the scent hasn’t changed. It’s your scent; you are Lin Nuo.”
Qin Shili said coldly, “You indeed came here. It’s a pity I arrived late and didn’t witness your feat. The tragic state of this altar must be related to you.”
The scent hasn’t changed? Do you think you’re a drug-sniffing dog?
“Miss, what are you talking about?”
“I won’t reveal your true identity. The giant serpent and the sorcerer were poisoned; there must be a hidden story. I’m willing to hear about your achievements.”
