Chapter 600: In the Rain Screen
Lin Qiye’s pupils slightly constricted.
The body of the Oracle Envoy was composed of an unknown material that not only effortlessly blocked Lin Qiye’s slashing attack but also isolated any form of mental probing. Even when Lin Qiye attempted to sense his physical structure with mental power, he could only be blocked outside of the envoy’s skin.
But it was certain that, to some extent, the Oracle Envoy was no longer a purely human being.
After all, humans could not project surveillance images from their eyes.
A cyborg?
As this thought arose in Lin Qiye’s mind, the white-robed Oracle Envoy stepped forward. His stride was not large, yet in an instant, he moved nearly a hundred meters forward, directly flashing in front of Lin Qiye!
The white circle in his left eye instantly locked onto Lin Qiye’s face and the “Zhanbai” in his hand.
“A knife that can ignore space… is it one of the Nine Blades of Huo Jin? No, this blade has no blade soul.” The Oracle Envoy frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.
He shook his head and sighed, “The things in the hands of invaders are always so difficult to understand.”
In the next moment, his gaze sharpened, and a terrifyingly powerful invisible slash coalesced in front of him, exuding a deadly aura. In an instant, Lin Qiye swiftly positioned the “Zhanbai” horizontally in front of him.
Boom——!!
The invisible slash collided with the blade of “Zhanbai,” causing the entire sword to tremble violently. Strangely, Lin Qiye did not feel any force transmitted through the hand gripping the hilt.
It was as if all the slashes were forcibly channeled into “Zhanbai,” with not a trace leaking out.
“Zhanbai” shook violently, emitting a piercing sound akin to a thousand birds chirping in unison. Lin Qiye frowned slightly, keenly sensing that something was amiss. At the same time, the white-robed Oracle Envoy raised his finger again.
Lin Qiye quickly dodged to the side, but the next moment, the Oracle Envoy’s figure shifted back in front of him.
His palm, like a ghost, gently pressed against the blade of “Zhanbai,” and with a flick of his finger—
Clang——!!!
A dull roar echoed like thunder through the bustling street.
The violently trembling blade of “Zhanbai” suddenly halted, falling into an eerie silence, and then a series of visible fine cracks shattered open in the center of the blade!
The snow-white blade, reflecting the neon signs from the street like a mirror, broke in the middle. Half of the blade trembled, radiating a dazzling halo, soaring into the pitch-black night sky, piercing into a nearby traffic light, and erupting in blinding sparks!
Lin Qiye gripped the half of “Zhanbai,” his pupils suddenly constricting.
The blade… was broken.
The point of the break in the blade was precisely where the white-robed Oracle Envoy had flicked his finger. In just two moves, he had severed “Zhanbai,” which was listed as one of the twelve ultra-high-risk treasures of the Baili family, in half.
How did he do that?
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind, but the situation no longer allowed him to ponder further.
The white-robed Oracle Envoy raised his hand, lightly drawing a line toward Lin Qiye with his fingertip, and an overwhelming sense of life-and-death crisis instantly enveloped Lin Qiye’s heart.
He no longer needed to worry about the mysterious gaze in the void, for if he did not use the Forbidden Ruins now, he would surely die here today.
A shadow of night instantly enveloped his body, and the next moment, he vanished from his original position.
“Night Flicker.”
This was the Forbidden Ruins birthed from the essence of night left to him by Nyx. If the essence of night were likened to fertile soil, then this Forbidden Ruins was the first fruit to grow from that soil.
As Lin Qiye’s figure flickered away, the place where he had stood was suddenly met with chaos. The two six-story commercial buildings behind him had all their windows shattered, and the central part of the structure was severed in half, as fragile as a paper house.
The gruesome slash marks cleaved the two commercial buildings apart, and the massive structures crashed down with a deafening roar and a cloud of dust, crushing dozens of cars into scrap metal.
Lin Qiye stood behind the ruins of the buildings, gripping the half of “Zhanbai,” his expression extremely grave.
From the mental pressure emanating from the Oracle Envoy, he should be a peak “Klein” level powerhouse. Coupled with that strange and mysterious ability, his danger level rose sharply.
Currently, Lin Qiye was simply no match for him.
Moreover, he was not the only enemy Lin Qiye faced…
Lin Qiye looked up at the pitch-black night sky above. He could clearly sense that the mysterious gaze that had appeared earlier at the shallows was once again projecting from the void, searching for his whereabouts.
Having just used “Night Flicker” had drawn the attention of that mysterious presence again. If he continued to use the Forbidden Ruins, he would inevitably be locked onto.
“The wrath of the gods descends. If you continue to use those means of the invaders, you won’t even need me to act; you will be obliterated by divine judgment. Today, you cannot escape.” The white-robed Oracle Envoy also sensed the gaze in the sky and said with a cold smile.
Lin Qiye silently looked at him, his eyes flickering with light as he seriously contemplated a way to break the deadlock.
Using the Forbidden Ruins would attract the mysterious presence, leading to death; not using the Forbidden Ruins would mean he couldn’t escape from the Oracle Envoy’s grasp, also leading to death.
It was a deadlock.
Just as Lin Qiye was desperately pondering, a drop of rain suddenly fell from the clouds, landing on his shoulder and splashing into tiny droplets.
Pitter-patter!
It was raining?
This drop of rain did not catch Lin Qiye’s attention, but across from him, the white-robed Oracle Envoy’s brow furrowed slightly.
He looked up, gazing at the sky as if searching for something.
The second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop…
A steady drizzle began to fall from the night sky, growing heavier by the second. In just a matter of seconds, it transformed from a light rain to a moderate rain, and then from moderate to heavy rain!
The dense rain washed over the bustling city streets, quickly accumulating into puddles. A hazy mist spread through the air, gradually obscuring the vision of ordinary people, turning the night sky into a curtain of rain.
The faint glow of neon lights was drowned by the rain, pouring onto the asphalt road like flowing rivers, reflecting in the rippling puddles, resembling dazzling pools of light, mesmerizing to behold.
The white-robed Oracle Envoy stood in the rain, the water sliding off his clothes and onto the ground, leaving no trace of moisture.
His expression darkened slightly.
Lin Qiye looked up at the sudden downpour, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.
This rain… seemed a bit off.
A figure darted across the sky.
Lin Qiye turned to look.
At the top of the intersection of the bustling street, a massive screen emitted a rainbow glow in the dark rain, illuminating a portion of the sky. In front of the rolling screen, a figure stood silently in the rain, holding a paper umbrella.
