Chapter 1144 Surrounded in a Desperate Situation
“Will [Night Curtain] disappear after we die?” Jiang Er couldn’t help but ask.
“…No,” Lin Qiye slowly replied.
“According to the Night Watchers’ regulations, a special squad is only automatically disbanded when the number of initial members falls below three, keeping only the designation, essentially existing in name only.
But as long as there are three or more members, the team can continue to exist by recruiting new members.”
“Old Cao and Pangpang are still in the Heavenly Palace, and although Jialan is in hibernation, she still counts, plus the original body left by Qingyu… [Night Curtain] will still have four members left and won’t be disbanded. As long as two new team members are added, it can still carry out missions for Great Xia.”
Lin Qiye turned around, looked into An Qingyu’s eyes, and said seriously:
“Qingyu, from now on, you will be the captain of [Night Curtain]… understand?”
An Qingyu stared at Lin Qiye, neither nodding nor shaking his head, just remaining silent.
There were things he wanted to say, but couldn’t say now.
Without Lin Qiye, Shen Qingzhu, and Jiang Er… even if they added many new people, the [Night Curtain] squad would no longer be [Night Curtain].
An Qingyu joined the Night Watchers because of Lin Qiye, became the [Night Curtain] squad’s vice-captain because of him. If Lin Qiye was gone, what meaning would such a team have?
“I feel sorry for Cao Yuan though,” Lin Qiye seemed to think of something and smiled helplessly. “He finally regained some sanity, but when he hears about our deaths in battle, he’ll probably turn back into that fool who only knows how to giggle…”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile.
They stood back to back, each facing a different direction, as black clouds crashed down to earth. They looked up at the thousands of demons that were overwhelming everything in their path, with grotesque, dense, eerie laughter surging toward them like a tide.
“Kekeke…”
“Jijiji…”
“Hehehe…”
The smile on Lin Qiye’s face gradually faded, replaced by a soaring fighting spirit of no retreat!
“Kill!!”
He shouted, and all four figures simultaneously charged like lightning toward the dark mass of demons.
Jiang Er transformed into a white shadow, crashing into one demon’s body, controlling it to slaughter other demons surrounding them like a madwoman.
Taking them by surprise, she killed two demons in succession and severely injured several others. When the demon she possessed was surrounded by other demons, she transformed into a white shadow again and crashed into another demon’s body, frantically backstabbing.
Jiang Er’s physical body was with An Qingyu; now she was just a magnetic field. No matter how the demons tried to encircle her, they couldn’t harm her at all, and could only be subjected to her possession and backstabbing.
With continuous backstabbing and body switching, the demon horde soon fell into chaos. Countless black wings crossed in the sky, and one demon after another fell from the clouds, all killed by their own kind.
An Qingyu carried the black coffin, moving rapidly through the demons.
Frost, threads, lightning, poison mist… various bizarre abilities were released from his body. Whenever demons rushed toward him, his figure would sway slightly like a roly-poly doll, and the trajectories of those attacks would naturally deflect, landing on a demon behind him.
After dodging the attacks of several demons in succession with his roly-poly movement, An Qingyu extended his hand and pressed down on empty space.
With him as the center, the surrounding three-dimensional space immediately collapsed, as if an invisible giant hand had flattened the bodies of several demons, turning them into sheets of paper floating in the air.
An Qingyu’s frost longsword slashed once, cutting these demons into pieces.
Snap–!!
With a crisp snap of fingers, raging flames instantly engulfed the forms of several demons at the front.
Shen Qingzhu, with a cigarette in his mouth, slightly raised his fingertips, and the surrounding air, as if part of his body, began to compress rapidly, forming numerous raging tornadoes of fire that coiled around him.
These demons were already corpses, so removing air had no effect on them. The only thing that could harm them was the extremely compressed fire.
Shen Qingzhu snapped his fingers again, and the fire tornadoes instantly engulfed half the sky.
One after another, magical lights bloomed in the sky.
Those high-level caretakers who were initially used to lure away the demons rushed out from beside Lin Qiye one after another, fighting with the demons filling the sky.
Lin Qiye held the Ama-no-Murakumo sword in one hand and [White Slash] in the other, his form moving like a specter through the void, each strike beheading a demon.
Slash–!
Just as Lin Qiye was frantically harvesting, a blood-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking directly at the massive Flame-veined Earth Dragon.
Red Beauty was struck by the lightning, immediately developing mottled scorch marks on her body. Her dragon form was sent flying backward, returning to human form, and was pulled back into the hospital.
The blood-colored lightning didn’t stop there but continued to severely injure several caretakers, tracing a Z-shaped trajectory across the sky, instantly flashing to Lin Qiye’s front.
Lin Qiye had already noticed this lightning’s existence and immediately stepped forward, slashing the Ama-no-Murakumo sword toward his front, forcibly cutting off a corner of the lightning.
A black broken wing fell from the sky.
Only then did Lin Qiye clearly see the true form of this blood-colored lightning—it was a demon with four black wings.
In appearance, it was very different from those vengeful spirit demons. Its body was closer to human, entirely crimson red, and if one ignored the scarlet insect eye on its forehead, its appearance was no less beautiful than an angel’s, truly exquisite.
This was a genuine demon… a four-winged high-level demon.
The appearance of this demon seemed to be some kind of ominous sign. Lin Qiye looked up at the sky and saw dozens of four-winged demons flying in from the distance, hovering under the deep red sky.
Each of them emanated the aura of peak “Klein” realm.
Not only that, above them, two corpses of Seraphim with six snow-white wings and three corpses of Fallen Angels with six pitch-black wings were approaching through the air.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, with small red worms wriggling at the injury sites. Their eyes were tightly closed, with only the huge insect eyes slightly turning, looking down at Lin Qiye and the others as if watching a group of weak ants.
“Troublesome ones have arrived…” Lin Qiye said through gritted teeth, resisting the terrifying pressure.
Bang–!!
A muffled sound came from behind him, and Lin Qiye turned to look.
He saw Shen Qingzhu’s body being knocked down from the clouds by two four-winged demons, crashing to the ground beside the blood pool, instantly creating ferocious cracks in the ground.
Shen Qingzhu violently spat out a mouthful of blood. On his arms and waist, two ferocious wounds had already appeared.
