Chapter 1842
by 林方方Chapter 1842 Ambush on the 22nd
“I won’t do anything.” Lin Qiye calmly spoke, “Don’t you want to enter the time labyrinth? Please go ahead.”
22 stared at him for a moment, then started walking toward the entrance of the time labyrinth, with everyone else following closely behind.
He arrived before that river of moonlight, where the bright glow clearly illuminated that enormous, disgusting sutured body. At the female corpse’s chest cavity, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in 22’s eyes.
“Even if you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watchers, here you are still alone.
If you want to be the third party taking advantage, you’ll need to have the ability to do so…”
As his words fell, 22 stepped into the moonlight, his figure sinking into the river and disappearing. The people behind him entered one after another, and soon the entire ice plain fell into dead silence.
Lin Qiye, wearing a deep red cloak, stood alone in front of the labyrinth entrance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“Whether I have the ability or not, you’ll know soon enough.”
…
Time Labyrinth.
“Holy Lord, are we really not leaving?”
In front of a gray river, everyone gathered at the shore, and Kubera cautiously asked.
22’s eyes were fixed on the moonlight reflection on the river’s surface, like a patient hunter waiting for prey to appear…
“Why should we leave?” 22 sneered, “No matter how powerful he is, he hasn’t reached the supreme realm, and he’s alone. As long as we ambush him in advance, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be seriously injured… If he wants to use us as pawns to test the waters, he should be prepared to be killed by us.
He had the upper hand over me in the [King’s Treasury] back then, but now, the situation is different…”
22 grabbed the [King’s Scepter] at his chest with one hand and thrust it downward forcefully. The heavy scepter directly pierced through his body and struck the ground heavily!
Dong—!
Golden ripples swept across the ground again, and dense streams of golden energy floated out from everyone’s bodies, all returning into 22’s body.
With their divine power completely drained again, no one had any objections, as if they were already accustomed to this kind of plundering. After all, they were too lazy to fight, and as long as they provided divine power to the Holy Lord, he would naturally eliminate the enemy.
Simply put, they were just a group of “power banks” for 22 to use at any time. They could enjoy victory just by standing aside, so why not?
After merging the divine power of more than ten gods again, 22’s aura reached a terrifying level. He held the [King’s Sword] and focused intently on the moonlight over the river.
Calculating the time, Lin Qiye should be coming soon.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… one minute, five minutes, ten minutes.
22 strained with all his might, staring hard at the river for ten minutes, but there was still no sign of Lin Qiye!
The collected divine power had all been forcibly dispersed, and 22’s aura immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, returning to its original state… His aura had dissipated, but he was extremely angry.
“Damn it…” 22 gritted his teeth.
Why hadn’t he appeared yet?
Had he seen through his intentions? Or was his goal not this time labyrinth at all?
Impossible… Even this labyrinth was something he had secretly guided them to find. He must have wanted to use them as people to test the waters ahead of him. If so, he couldn’t possibly not enter.
He probably saw through his intentions and was deliberately keeping him waiting outside.
22’s brain worked rapidly, and he quickly came to a conclusion. He sneered and activated the [King’s Scepter] again, plundering the divine power of all the gods once more.
He wanted to use this method to force himself to give up the ambush and directly enter the labyrinth for him. If he lost patience and actively entered the labyrinth, he would still fall into his trap… But 22 had always prided himself on being a skilled hunter with patience, and patience was what he had the most of.
Time passed, and the divine power of the gods was plundered by 22 again and again, and forcibly reset again and again. After each time limit passed, 22 would immediately activate the [King’s Scepter] again. He had to keep himself at peak condition at all times to have the confidence to severely injure Lin Qiye in one strike.
22 had enough patience, but the others did not… They just waited idly by the river, watching 22 drain their divine power again and again, feeling extremely bored!
Just as everyone was starting to yawn, a deep red shadow suddenly flashed through the moonlight!
22’s eyes suddenly focused!
Without any hesitation, he swung the [King’s Sword] fiercely toward the river surface!
Boom—!!
Surging divine power poured into the sword light, instantly splitting the river in half. The rolling aftershocks of divine power surged toward the sky, illuminating a corner of the dark firmament!
This strike immediately startled the other members of [Divine Desire Paradise]. They looked in astonishment at the surging tide of divine power, and amidst the flying dust, a deep red cloak was whirling wildly in the wind!
22 held the sword, and seeing this, his heart immediately sank!
Yes, it was just a cloak…
Almost simultaneously, 22 had already reacted, lightning-fast gripping the [King’s Sword] to slash behind him. A figure took shape in the void, and an even more terrifying golden sword light than his earlier one crashed down!
The [King’s Sword] and the Kusanagi Sword crossed, and the surging divine power directly exploded into a ring in mid-air. 22’s figure was knocked down like a meteor, crashing back into the ground!
Dong—!!!
The earth trembled, and dust flew up everywhere.
Under the dim moonlight, Lin Qiye, wearing a black combat uniform, held [Zhan Bai] in one hand and the Kusanagi Sword in the other, calmly looking down at everyone below. Six enormous wings slowly spread from his back…
“Your patience is indeed extraordinary. I’ve delayed for so long, yet you’re still ambushing here,” Lin Qiye slowly said. “Fortunately, I was also prepared.”
Although Lin Qiye had only crossed paths with 22 once, the latter’s patience and ruthlessness had left a deep impression on him. If it were any other normal person, who would seriously wait for him for several hours?
So before entering the labyrinth, Lin Qiye still took precautions, sending his cloak into the moonlight first, then entering the void himself to follow, which allowed him to directly avoid 22’s strongest prepared strike.
22’s corpulent body stood up from the ruins. Looking at the six-winged figure in the sky, his eyes were full of anger and resentment.
His ambush had failed.
Just as he was about to say something, a golden domain opened beneath the six-winged figure’s feet!
Scorching divine power poured into the Kusanagi Sword, like a sun constantly on the verge of explosion. The divine might of the Burning Angel pressed down on everyone’s hearts, and several relatively weak lesser gods had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.
In the sky, Lin Qiye’s aura had now risen to the extreme. His eyes, filled with killing intent, gazed at everyone below as he calmly said:
“Do you want to be chased by me as you flee inside… or enter on your own?”
