Chapter 712: Are You Also from the Great Xia?
The burning straight knife sliced through the rolling black hair, instantly piercing the head of the black-haired female ghost, flames scorching all the strands of hair that came near the knife, a pungent stench wafting through the air!
Amidst the sharp and mournful howls, the fire swept through, completely engulfing the figure of the black-haired female ghost.
After killing the black-haired female ghost with a thunderous strike, Lin Qiye reached out, and the straight knife flew back into his hand automatically. However, there was no trace of joy on his face, for several revived stone statues had already crawled out from the nearest walls, surrounding them!
“Run!” Lin Qiye quickly urged Yumiya Seihui while sensing the surroundings with his mental power.
Without any hesitation, Yumiya Seihui sheathed her sword, Rain Collapse, and sprinted after Lin Qiye in the direction with the fewest stone statues.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Wei Dong also ran to catch up with Lin Qiye.
He had no Forbidden Ruins and, having lost his equipment, was just an ordinary person with decent skills. Faced with such a large-scale stone statue attack, survival was nearly impossible, so the best course of action was to escape with Lin Qiye.
Most importantly, based on Lin Qiye’s recent abilities, Wei Dong could basically rule out the possibility that he was the Master of the Huo Jin Knife. He might even be from outside the “Human Circle,” just like himself.
And outside the “Human Circle,” it seemed that only the Shangye Society had the ability to walk freely in the mist… But he was certain that Lin Qiye was not a member of the Shangye Society; there were no marks of the Spear of Judgment and Oath in his hands.
No! Wait!
Besides the Shangye Society, there was another team capable of moving through the mist.
Wei Dong recalled that during his training with the Shangye Society, the president had mentioned that the Night Watchers of Daxia had a special team, the 005 Special Squad, responsible for traversing the mist and executing confidential missions. The name of that team seemed to be… Blue Rain?
But wasn’t it said that Blue Rain had been destroyed a long time ago?
What puzzled Wei Dong the most was that if Lin Qiye really came from the mist, how could he suddenly transform into the Master of the Huo Jin Knife?
After all, not just anyone could become the Master of the Huo Jin Knife; it was nearly impossible for someone from another country to be recognized by the Huo Jin Knife Soul.
With a heart full of doubts, Wei Dong sprinted to Lin Qiye’s side. The latter glanced at him, about to speak, when he suddenly seemed to sense something and swiftly drew his knife, slashing at a patch of void beside him.
Clang—!!
At the edge of the empty wall, a small figure holding a short stick emerged, its pale eyes fixed on the straight knife in Lin Qiye’s hand, seemingly astonished.
It took a step back, its form becoming ethereal again, disappearing from Wei Dong’s sight.
“You can’t escape.” Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, stepping forward as green sprouts burst from the ground around him, rapidly growing into a lush lawn, spreading like a raging fire!
[Eternal Secret Garden].
Bud after bud bloomed on the verdant grass, ensnaring a patch of void, forcing the small figure with the short stick to reappear, its ankles tightly bound by the flowers and grass, unable to move an inch.
Immediately, numerous buds began to grow on its skin, siphoning its strength and vitality, its body visibly withering at an alarming rate, its expression one of sheer terror.
Lin Qiye paid it no further mind, instead gripping two straight knives, their blades flashing with pitch-black night, as he engaged in battle with another blue cat demon that charged at him.
The cat demon was incredibly fast, even reaching the point of piercing through space, its form flickering intermittently in the air, impossible for the naked eye to follow. However, Lin Qiye, cloaked in night, used his formidable dynamic vision and [Night Flicker] to forcefully intercept it.
The black and blue figures flashed wildly across the lawn, and after a flurry of over ten strikes, Lin Qiye sent the demon flying.
Having swiftly dealt with the two obstructive “mysteries,” Lin Qiye, clad in a black trench coat, continued to charge forward across the lush grass, carving a bloody path.
Behind him, Yumiya Seihui and Wei Dong watched in shock, their mouths agape.
Yumiya Seihui had never seen Lin Qiye unleash his full power; it was only at this moment that he realized just how ferocious Lin Qiye could be without the restrictions of the Forbidden Ruins…
Wei Dong’s shock, however, stemmed from a completely different perspective. As a human from the mist, he was well aware of the Forbidden Ruins. Lin Qiye had just demonstrated at least four distinctly different abilities without even drawing the Huo Jin Knife from his waist, something he had never heard of before.
“Aren’t you from the Japanese ‘Human Circle’?” After a moment of contemplation, Wei Dong couldn’t help but ask.
This time, however, he spoke not in Japanese, but in genuine Chinese.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye, who was sprinting forward with both knives in hand, paused, turning back to Wei Dong and responding in Chinese, “Aren’t you from Daxia?”
Wei Dong’s mouth twitched, and he felt a wave of frustration wash over him!
So, the two Daxia people had been probing each other in Japanese for so long, only to find out they were on the same side?!
“Are you a Night Watcher? Which team? How did you get here?” Lin Qiye fired off a series of questions.
“I’m not a Night Watcher,” Wei Dong shook his head. “I come from the Shangye Society.”
“The Shangye Society?” Lin Qiye paused. “I’ve never heard of it.”
“…”
“The Shangye Society is…” Wei Dong began, but suddenly ducked as a sharp spike whizzed past his scalp, nearly piercing his head.
He turned to look behind him, where seven or eight revived stone statues were frantically pursuing the three of them down the corridor.
“I can’t explain it clearly right now; let’s talk after we get out of here.” As he spoke, Wei Dong reached out his hand to Lin Qiye while running.
“What for?”
“Give me back my equipment; I can help you.”
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before tossing the pixel handgun to Wei Dong.
Since Wei Dong’s identity as a Daxia person had been confirmed, any misunderstandings between them could be temporarily set aside. In this unfamiliar country, Lin Qiye was willing to trust a fellow Daxia compatriot once more. Besides, he had secretly left a summoning spell on the pixel handgun; if Wei Dong truly intended to backstab him, it would be Wei Dong who would end up dead.
Trust and caution were not mutually exclusive.
Wei Dong caught the pixel handgun, weighed it in his hand, and without looking back, fired several shots at the pursuing stone statues, the pixel bullets whistling through the air, accurately targeting the heads of the “mysteries”!
