Chapter 138: Who… Dares to Seek Death?
Believer?
Lin Qiye steadied himself, feeling his heart sink.
Just from that one strike, Lin Qiye could clearly perceive the gap between them. The man standing before him was undoubtedly at the peak of the “Chuan” realm, possibly even at the “Hai” realm.
With such a massive disparity in strength, combined with the man’s identity as a “Believer,” Lin Qiye’s situation became extremely perilous. Once again, the roles of prey and hunter had been reversed.
The snake woman stood behind Han Shaoyun, finally recovering from the shadow cast by the double divine powers, her snake eyes icy cold.
“You may leave,” Han Shaoyun turned his head slightly to glance at the snake woman and spoke calmly.
The snake woman nodded slightly, shot Lin Qiye one last cold look, then huffed and vanished from Lin Qiye’s perception range with her snake-eye teleportation.
As the snake woman left, the red glow covering the entire street gradually faded, and the snake-eye patterns that had spread across the area vanished as if they had never been there—the marks on the ground, the intertwined branches, and the cracks on the walls. Once the snake woman’s divine domain disappeared, the “reasonable” formations of these snake-eye patterns reverted to their original forms.
Although the oppressive presence of the divine domain had disappeared, Lin Qiye’s unease had not subsided in the slightest. He knew the seemingly refined, harmless man before him was far more dangerous than the snake woman who had just fled.
“Are you here to recruit me as well?”
As Lin Qiye spoke, he simultaneously directed his consciousness into the mental hospital inside his mind.
Facing an enemy of this caliber, Lin Qiye had no chance of winning. The only option left was… to summon Nyx!
However, Nyx’s divine core was damaged, and her current battle strength was uncertain. Whether she could defeat this man was still unknown. Thus, using Night Flash to escape seemed like the best option.
If his guess was correct, besides the snake woman who just fled, this man in front of him was likely the most critical player in this attack.
Driving away the snake woman and drawing out such a significant enemy was already a victory for him.
“I’m afraid not. I’m not here to recruit you.” Han Shaoyun gently shook his head, spinning his halberd with a flick. A powerful whirlwind erupted from him as the center. “I’m here to kill you.”
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows furrowed. At the same time, he successfully communicated with Nyx in the mental hospital. Just as he was about to summon her, something unexpected happened!
A faint ripple emanated from three directions, and the sky seemed to be covered by an invisible canvas. The surrounding space gently trembled before settling again, as if nothing had happened…
“This is…” Lin Qiye, witnessing this, seemed to realize something, and a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Han Shaoyun tilted his head back to gaze at the sky, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Nightwatchmen, Boundaryless Domain…”
Amid the snowstorm,
From the far end of the street,
Six figures cloaked in dark red slowly walked through the deserted snow-covered street.
A breeze blew, knocking off the hood of the person leading the group.
Chen Muxi raised his head slightly, his sharp gaze landing on Han Shaoyun as his hands rested on the hilt of his blade…
In the wind, his voice rang out clearly and deeply:
“—Squad 136 is fully assembled. Who… dares to seek death?”
…
Boom—!!
On the frozen canal, a shadow shot down like a cannonball, shattering the ice as it plunged into the frigid waters.
Two more figures flew out from mid-air, one wreathed in flames, the other riding a gust of wind, both charging at the man in the center.
Fire and wind mixed into a whirlwind, enveloping the man within. The next moment, a dark light burst from inside, tearing through the fiery vortex!
The man grinned, his figure instantly appearing before the fire-wielder, his hand wrapped in dark energy. With one strike, he sent them crashing into the canal below.
In the distance, Bai Li Pang Pang, crouching in a corner watching the fight, gulped.
“Your bodyguard squad seems to be losing,” Cao Yuan remarked, holding his blade with a soft sigh.
“Spit, spit, spit! Shut your crow mouth!” Bai Li Pang Pang shuddered, covering Cao Yuan’s mouth with a scowl and whispering curses. “Damn it! Where did this ‘Hai’ realm maniac come from, chasing me to the death?”
The four wielders of forbidden artifacts, even when working together, could only barely match a ‘Hai’ realm opponent. If this fight kept going at this pace, all four of them—and us—were doomed!
Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment, “How about… settling the bill for the past two days first?”
“…
Splash—!
A massive water dragon burst from the frozen canal. The water-wielder, frowning, supported the injured fire-wielder as they landed safely on the nearby ground.
The man chuckled coldly, changing direction mid-air. Enveloped in dark energy, he slammed toward the two of them on the ground.
At the same time, the earth seemed to come alive, raising a wave of sand and stones to counter the man’s attack!
Like a bullet, the man broke through the wave, his eyes sharp as he grasped the earth-wielder’s throat hidden in the sand. Spinning in mid-air, he violently smashed them into the ground, creating a massive crater!
Dust billowed everywhere.
The man slowly walked through the cloud of dust, heading straight for Bai Li Pang Pang’s hiding spot. After only a few steps, three battered figures appeared before him.
The heavily injured fire-wielder, wind-wielder, and water-wielder… As for the earth-wielder, they had completely lost consciousness after the last blow.
“The Bai Li family’s wielders of forbidden artifacts are nothing impressive.” The man sneered. “In this state, you still want to stop me?”
The three wielders were silent, but their actions spoke volumes about their resolve.
“Fine, fine…” The man’s palm lit up with dark energy as he took one step after another toward the three.
“Wait! Wait! Hold on, brave warrior!”
At this moment, a rotund figure stumbled out, standing in front of the three wielders.
“Great warrior, tell me, how much were you paid to take this job? The Bai Li family will pay double… No, we’ll pay triple!” Bai Li Pang Pang raised three fingers with a serious expression.
“Money?” The man sneered. “Do you think… I’m the kind of person who lacks money?”
“Then you…
Just as the man was about to respond, he suddenly froze, turning to look behind him.
Unnoticed, a middle-aged man in military uniform had appeared. A dominating aura radiated from him, oppressing the entire battlefield.
His gaze was calm, like a deep pool—or a volcano on the verge of eruption!
He was the commander of the training camp, and also the vice-captain of the Nightwatchmen stationed in Shangjing City—Yuan Gang!
“Heh, heh, you’re finally here,” the man grinned as though his plan had succeeded.
“You’ve been recklessly releasing ‘Hai’ realm energy, even sacrificing your own life force, just to chase down Bai Li Tu Ming. Was it all to lure me here?” Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes slightly.
“And what if it was?” The man grinned. “Now that you’re here, you definitely won’t be able to leave for a while…”
“And then, your people will have the chance to send another ‘Hai’ realm to kill Lin Qiye, right?” Yuan Gang sneered, his eyes glinting with disdain.
“What makes you think… that in this city of Cangnan, I, Yuan Gang, am the only one capable of killing a ‘Hai’ realm foe?”
