Chapter 411: His Efforts (Third Update, Request for Monthly Pass)
Damn it! What’s going on lately? His wife just went abroad, and now assassins are popping up, eager to kill him immediately. What on earth did he do to incur such wrath?Jiang Nuo attacked the group of black-clad individuals while also casting a "Rejuvenation Technique" on himself to heal. He should be grateful for his wife’s "Space Ring," which had prepared so many things for him. He never thought, apart from attacking, that he would also need to heal himself, believing the healing medicine his wife prepared was more than enough, even thinking she over-prepared.
Now he realized, what his wife prepared was not too much, but rather too little.
Lately, it was one wave of people after another trying to kill him. If he didn’t quickly learn some healing spells, what would he do if the elixir ran out before he saw his wife?
Okay, maybe he was worrying unnecessarily, but learning more things is always good.
Therefore, he learned a few healing spells, one of which was the "Rejuvenation Technique."
"Thunder Strike Technique!"
Jiang Nuo shouted, attacking the black-clad individuals.
Three of them lined up, instantly raising a wall of earth.
Jiang Nuo waved the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword, sending out a fiery thunderbolt that destroyed the earth wall, with residual electricity scattering and hitting the three black-clad individuals, knocking them down.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Nuo leaped over the collapsed wall, thrusting his sword at the black-clad individual on the left.
"Ah..." The black-clad individual let out a miserable cry, getting stabbed in the chest and falling to the ground.
The one in the middle, seeing this, rolled over and took out something that looked like an octopus, throwing it at Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo stabbed at the octopus, slicing it into eight sections.
What he failed to notice was that one of those sections was alive?!
It twisted, transforming into an octopus the size of a human finger, shooting towards Jiang Nuo like an arrow.
Just as it was about to hit Jiang Nuo’s back, the auto-defense of the Space Ring activated, bouncing the small octopus away. A white light then followed, burning the small octopus into a charred crisp.
Watching this scene, Jiang Nuo frowned slightly.
Had he really overlooked it again?
Looking again at the black-clad individuals, he felt dissatisfied. His experience in fighting multiple opponents at once was still too little; in attending to one, he might miss another, leading to potential neglect.
This won’t do!
He needed to work even harder.
Jiang Nuo focused his attention to the maximum, striving to see in all directions and hear in all directions, not only attacking the black-clad individuals coming at him but also preventing sneak attacks. And not just from people but potentially other things as well.
The recent pursuits had brought some results; at least Jiang Nuo’s agility and flexibility had greatly improved, easily handling this group of black-clad individuals.
He also developed a peculiar habit in battle—placing Barrier Stones to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Not because he was overly brave or unworried about the possibility of losing the fight, but because he had Mu Qiuniang’s Space Ring. As long as he activated its defense, it couldn’t be breached by anyone below a Golden Core Stage or with cultivation higher than Mu Qiuniang.
Since it couldn’t be breached, he wouldn’t be harmed. Thus, he treated this group of assassins chasing him as practice partners. Even if he ended up battered and bruised, he wouldn’t let them leave and would continue fighting.
He was like an indestructible cockroach, which frustrated the black-clad individuals greatly.
Wasn’t this person just a rookie who had recently started cultivation? How come, just a few months into Foundation Establishment, he seemed like a monster, refusing to be defeated?
The key was, they couldn’t even harm him.
Small injuries were fine, but anything potentially life-threatening was deflected by something invisible, and it might even bounce back and injure them.
The black-clad individuals quickly sensed: this man has treasures on him!
Looking again at the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword in his hand, they felt intense jealousy. Who was this person? The information showed he was an orphan, yet he was wealthier than their organized group.
Not only did he have a Divine Artifact, but damn, he also seemed to have some defensive treasure hidden on him.
What drove them even more to despair was that they had no way to retreat. At some point, this man had laid down a barrier, blocking their escape route.
What a con! Did he treat them as sparring partners?
Outside the barrier, Mu Qiuniang appeared, hidden.
However, she did not reveal herself or disturb Jiang Nuo’s "battle." She stood silently aside, watching him fall again and again, only to rise once more, her heart not at peace.
She had known from the first attack he encountered. But he pretended nothing happened, so she asked nothing.
She knew he was striving to become stronger.
Just like he said, he wanted to grow as quickly as possible, to stand by her side, as a true couple of immortals.
Although many said he wasn’t worthy of her, he always smiled and said, whether he’s worthy or not is only for them to know, as long as they’re happy, no matter what others say.
Yet, in his heart, he cared.
He was a man; how could he spend his life standing behind a woman?
He wished to be strong, to stand in front of her, shield her from wind and rain, and be her support.
In the encirclement of those black-clad individuals, he seemed so small, as if just one hit could bring him down. Yet, he was also so powerful, standing firm with each fall, his gaze unwavering.
His figure seemed to glow, as if the sky was gradually expanding above him.
She thought, that day would soon come, wouldn’t it?
Just then, Mu Qiuniang felt a sudden twitch between her brows. A group of black-clad individuals had suddenly ceased their attack, forming a circle around Jiang Nuo, sitting with legs crossed...
Were they going to?
They planned to self-destruct?!
There were seven or eight of them, with one being a Fusion Stage expert. In a fight, cultivation below Golden Core wouldn’t matter, since the defensive function she refined in the Space Ring would simply ignore them. However, if seven or eight were to self-destruct, with one being a Fusion Stage expert, even she, nearing a breakthrough to Golden Core Stage, couldn’t withstand it.
As for Jiang Nuo, who had never encountered a self-destruction before, seeing the black-clad individuals suddenly halt their attack, he was a bit puzzled.
"Hey! What are you doing? Get up and continue fighting!" Fresh chapters posted on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"Jiang Nuo?!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, leaving Jiang Nuo stunned: "Wife, why are you here?!" They had agreed to give him space to grow on his own, hadn’t they?
Damn!
The key point was, in his current shabby state, looking worse than a beggar, how could he let his wife see him like this, ruining his image?
Boohoo... his handsome image!
Jiang Nuo quickly wanted to find something to cover his face.
However, before he could rummage through his Space Ring, Mu Qiuniang had already lifted him into the air.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Before he could finish speaking, a white light erupted beneath him, something exploded. That white light, resembling a nuclear blast, rapidly expanded, sweeping towards them. The surging white light and scorching heat wave immediately made Jiang Nuo realize—wow! What was this thing, so powerful?!
