Chapter 1420 Let the Sea Bury
Lin Qiye’s hand waved lightly, and a cloud of mist rolled out from beneath their feet, lifting everyone up and speeding rapidly toward the coastline!
Dawn tore through the island’s darkness, and the fierce wind swept past Lin Qiye’s ears as he looked down to see the entire island in deathly silence.
The Commanders-in-Chief seemed to have disappeared, and even though their intention to leave was so obvious, no one came out to stop them for the time being.
“Could it be that the Commanders have come to their senses? Are they going to let us leave directly?” Cao Yuan asked suspiciously.
“Impossible,” Lin Qiye shook his head. “I thought carefully about it last night. The force that convinced the generations of Commanders-in-Chief and General Huo to detain us here shouldn’t just be Commander Zuo’s doing… Behind this, it must also involve the Great Xia God, or even the Heavenly Lord.”
“Come to think of it, it was strange that the Heavenly Lord suddenly descended on this island earlier. If it was just to deliver medicine, there would be no need to come personally, right?”
“If that’s the case, then the Commanders really can’t let us go,” Jiang Er thought for a moment. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Heavenly Court.”
“If I’m not mistaken, they must be preparing to intercept us, wanting to completely destroy our thoughts of leaving in one go.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze fixed on the coastline in the distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
As the cloud swept past the edge of the island, rushing straight toward the sea, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the water below!
Boom—!!
The heavy seawater, as if pulled by some force, surged rapidly toward the sky. White foam turned into rain and scattered down. In the haze, a huge outline could be seen taking shape.
As the tide on the coastline frantically retreated, the seawater flowing back toward the sky formed walls that surrounded the entire island. The sound of rushing water was like thunder, roaring in the ears of Lin Qiye and the others!
“…Such a grand display?”
Cao Yuan stood on the cloud, his figure as small as an ant beneath the wall of seawater. With his clothes soaked, he couldn’t help but speak.
An invisible domain instantly swept across the sea. Lin Qiye and the others felt a sharp pain in their minds, and the scene before them began to blur. On the surface of the vertical seawater wall, old buildings from last century’s Huaihai City rose one after another!
Asphalt streets, flat-roofed low houses, crowded people, and the Huangpu River that ran through the center of the city appeared on this immense wall of seawater. Like reflections between intersecting dreams embedded in the real world, it was bizarre yet somehow magnificent and harmonious.
In the center of the vertical city, on the face of the towering ancient clock tower, a figure wearing a floral shirt and toad sunglasses calmly looked down at Lin Qiye and the others below.
Tang Yusheng, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji halberd, leaped out from the waves and hovered in the air. Even with the sea water pouring down from the sky, not a drop touched his white clothes.
Wang Qing lightly stood on a rooftop, hands in her hoodie pockets, blowing bubbles with a half-smile as she watched everyone.
At the top of this fictional city, a figure holding a black staff slowly stood up, his straight posture like a sturdy pine, unmoved in the rolling waves.
The auras of four human ceiling-level powers were unleashed without any restraint, crashing down on the sea surface. Lin Qiye and the others felt as if four mountains had suddenly pressed down on their shoulders, making their bodies increasingly heavy.
This was a warning from the four Commanders-in-Chief.
“Lin Qiye,” Li Qiangqiang spoke calmly from the clock tower, his voice penetrating the fictional Huaihai City and the vast waves, clearly reaching the ears of Lin Qiye and the others.
“What are you trying to do?”
At the front of the cloud, Lin Qiye looked at those four terrifying figures, took a deep breath, and spoke word by word: “We want to leave.”
“I think I’ve made myself very clear,” Li Qiangqiang’s eyes narrowed, his voice gradually turning cold. “Leaving here will push your entire squad into the abyss. As the captain of [Nightfall], aren’t you being selfish? Won’t you consider what’s best for the team?”
“This is not selfishness.”
Lin Qiye looked at Li Qiangqiang and solemnly said:
“Staying here would indeed ensure everyone’s safety… but that’s not the original purpose of [Nightfall].
Someone once told me that withering is the destiny of special squads.
[Blue Rain], [Medium], [Mask]… and countless other special squads that may have been forgotten by the world over the past hundred years.
Before each mission and life-or-death battle, didn’t they know what ultimately awaited them?
Of course they knew, every one of them knew!
But even so, they still rushed to the battlefield one after another, fulfilling their duties… Even if only one person remained, they would carry the glory and mission of the entire team, fighting until the end of their lives!
Today, if I ignore the crisis outside just to keep this team safe, hiding on this island like a quail, what does it matter how powerful we become in the future?
[Nightfall] would ultimately become the shame of all special squads!
That would be true selfishness!”
In the roaring waves, Lin Qiye poured out all the frustration of the night, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination!
“I know that with our strength, we might not be able to break out of this island from any Commander’s hands, but if once isn’t enough, then twice, and if twice isn’t enough, then three times!”
Lin Qiye’s hand gripped that deep red cloak, yanking it off his body with a fierce pull!
In the towering waves, Lin Qiye held the cloak like a jumping deep red fire.
He spoke calmly:
“If after giving everything we have, we still cannot leave… then let this sea bury our names and glory.”
Cao Yuan, Bai Li Pangpang, An Qingyu, and Jiang Er simultaneously pulled off their deep red cloaks, gripping them tightly in their hands, dancing like flames in the waves!
Looking at the five figures standing firm below, Li Qiangqiang, standing on the clock tower, fell silent.
Behind those black toad sunglasses, reminiscence and helplessness appeared.
“…Old Li, what do we do now?” Wang Qing asked softly. “These kids are serious! Should we… still stop them?”
“Yes,” Li Qiangqiang thought for a moment. “If we don’t, how will we answer to the Heavenly Lord?”
Li Qiangqiang leaped down from the clock tower, transforming into a streak of light, passing through the sky of the bustling Huaihai City, heading straight toward Lin Qiye and the others!
Seeing this, the last bit of hope in Lin Qiye’s heart shattered.
He shook his head helplessly, gripping [White Slash] in his hand, as surging battle intent erupted from within!
“Charge!”
