Chapter 1377 I Am Li Kengqiang
A shadow of the night flashed into the building’s shadow by the Huangpu River, and a moment later, Lin Qiye’s figure emerged from it.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and he quickly found Cao Yuan standing on the deck of a ship, slowly moving with the river current.
Cao Yuan had somehow acquired a police officer’s uniform, holding a straight sword wrapped in black cloth in his arms. He didn’t have the slightest air of a police officer, but rather looked like a vicious bully.
His sharp eyes were fixed on the shore, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Lin Qiye by the riverbank, and he was slightly stunned.
“Old Cao!” Lin Qiye waved at him.
The ship carrying Cao Yuan quickly approached the riverbank where Lin Qiye was standing. Ignoring the gazes of others, Lin Qiye supported himself with one hand on the railing and flipped over, causing exclamations of surprise from the people on shore.
Lin Qiye landed steadily on the deck and asked with confusion:
“Old Cao, what are you doing here?”
“Preventing people from throwing things into the river,” Cao Yuan replied helplessly. “I don’t have Pangpang’s ability to disarm everything, so I can’t immediately seize that liquid from the Ancient God Church. So I’m disguised as a police officer, letting this ship carry me on patrol along the river.
This way, if someone throws something in, at least I can draw my sword in time to intercept it on the water surface.”
Lin Qiye nodded, “Have you noticed anything unusual?”
“Nothing so far,” Cao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then added, “However, the waves on the river are stronger than before.”
Lin Qiye was startled and looked down, only then noticing that the flowing Huangpu River water was constantly churning and surging, much more turbulent than usual… but strangely, there was clearly no wind on the river surface.
“It seems Pangpang’s intuition was right this time. There’s definitely something wrong down there,” Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully. “Old Cao, keep watch here. I’ll go down and take a look.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Lin Qiye finished speaking, his figure flashed and plunged directly into the surging river water.
The water churned as Lin Qiye continued to sink in the river. The murky water made visibility extremely poor underwater. Even Lin Qiye, unable to use his spiritual power to sense his surroundings, could only see clearly within ten meters around him.
Underwater, Lin Qiye’s brows slightly furrowed.
The Huangpu River flowing through Huaihai City was too vast. Without being able to use spiritual power, it would take a lot of time to figure out what was happening below… continuing like this would likely yield little result.
Lin Qiye pressed his hand in the water, and numerous brilliant magic arrays opened up. Various sea beasts emerged from the arrays, dispersing in all directions of the river current.
Lin Qiye stood on the back of an anglerfish, its faint light dispelling the surrounding water, allowing him to breathe freely at the bottom of the river.
With limited time, summoning numerous sea beasts for a carpet search was the best option. Moreover, Lin Qiye used orthodox summoning magic to call them forth, so even if the commanders saw it, they would only marvel at the wonder of magic without discovering the existence of the Gods’ Mental Hospital.
Lin Qiye’s figure moved through the dim river bottom. After some time, a muffled sound came from the depths of the distant water.
Immediately after, a sea beast attendant’s life force entered a near-death state, forcing it to return to the hospital.
There it is!
A glint flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes as he controlled the anglerfish beneath his feet to rapidly approach the direction of the sound!
The light from the anglerfish pushed away the river water, illuminating a corner of the dark river bottom. As he approached, a shadow gradually took shape in the distance.
This shadow was about the size of a three-story house, crouching at the bottom of the Huangpu River. The faint light illuminated one corner of it, revealing what looked like some strange beast with snow-white skin covered in faint golden patterns.
“This is…” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Before he could get closer to observe carefully, the surrounding water flow was suddenly compressed!
River water frantically poured toward the front of the giant shadow. A figure holding a ji halberd stood like bedrock on the sandy bottom of the river. With a slash of the halberd, a blade of violent high-pressure water compressed into a blade instantly flew toward Lin Qiye’s face!
A sense of danger surged in Lin Qiye’s heart.
That thin water blade surging from the river bottom was compressed from at least several tons of river flow. Such terrifying compression had almost broken the original physical structure of the water molecules, rearranging them into something beyond the category of “water.”
Lin Qiye had no doubt that if this attack were on land, it could easily blast apart a mountain peak… and someone who could casually deliver an attack of this magnitude must be at least at the “Klein” boundary.
There was actually someone at the bottom of the Huangpu River?
Was it the Ancient God Church?
Lin Qiye dared not meet the attack head-on. He transformed into a flash of night, drew [Zhan Bai], his form slipping into nothingness, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the figure holding the ji halberd.
Clang——!!
The snow-white blade edge collided with the heavy ji halberd. The muffled boom spread through the churning river flow, and the terrifying force temporarily created a vacuum area in the water around the two of them.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a brilliant golden light burst from beneath his feet. The light of [Mortal Divine Domain] enveloped the figure before him and the strange beast shadow behind.
With this golden light, Lin Qiye finally saw the beast’s full appearance.
It was a four-legged giant beast with snow-white skin, covered in faint golden patterns. A pair of white antlers similar to those of a deer extended from its head, nearly two stories high, looking quite magnificent from a distance.
This giant beast was crouching among the sandy stones at the bottom of the river. Its highly bulging abdomen was rising and falling somewhat rapidly. With its breathing rhythm, the surrounding water flow swirled and churned violently, as if boiling, frantically stirring the waters of the Huangpu River.
Lin Qiye looked at the highly bulging abdomen, was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise:
“Bai Ze?”
Whoosh——!!
A rapid water blade grazed past Lin Qiye’s nose. If Lin Qiye had reacted half a beat slower, he would now be a headless corpse.
Lin Qiye turned to look. A middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and holding a ji halberd was staring at him coldly, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Seeing the ji halberd made of the same material as the Star Blade, Lin Qiye seemed to realize something:
“You’re a Night Watchman?”
“Captain of the Great Xia Night Watchmen Squad 007, Tang Mingxuan.” The middle-aged man’s deep voice reached Lin Qiye’s ears as he raised his ji halberd, his figure darting through the river water like lightning.
“Bastard from the Ancient God Church, die!”
“Wait a minute!” Lin Qiye frantically dodged Tang Mingxuan’s attacks while his brain worked at high speed.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he blurted out:
“I’m Li Kengqiang!”
The heavy ji halberd suddenly froze in the water flow!
