Chapter 830: What Right Do You Have?
The close-range explosion this time, although partially mitigated by the dark red wings, still hindered Lu Baoyou’s mobility.
He staggered to his feet, but before he could steady himself, Lin Qiye kicked him in the chest, sending him flying again for several meters.
Lu Baoyou spat out a mouthful of blood and fell back to the ground.
Lin Qiye walked up to him, calmly grabbed his collar, and lifted him into the air.
“Why are you here?” Lin Qiye asked flatly.
“What?” Lu Baoyou frowned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he was held in Lin Qiye’s grip.
“I said, why are you here?”
Lin Qiye repeated himself.
“Being able to become Lucifer’s agent is indeed impressive,” Lin Qiye continued, staring into Lu Baoyou’s crimson eyes. “But it seems you’ve forgotten your identity, forgotten where this place is…”
Lin Qiye’s right fist clenched and struck heavily against Lu Baoyou’s face, driving him into the ground.
“This is the Great Xia! You are a citizen of the Great Xia! You are also a new recruit about to become a Night Watchman!” Amidst the swirling dust, Lin Qiye’s furious golden eyes burned like a pair of raging furnaces.
“Do you think you can grow up safely, walk freely outside, and stand here arrogantly claiming you will kill a Night Watchman? Why?!
Because you have good luck? Because this world is supposed to be like this?
Nonsense!
It is because countless Night Watchmen are bearing the burden for you!
Without those who sacrifice their families, freedom, futures, and even lives to protect the Great Xia, your best outcome would be to become a human being worse than a pig or dog, raised by the Outer Gods!
Everything you have now is bought with the lives of countless Night Watchmen!”
Boom—!!
Lin Qiye pulled the trigger of the grenade launcher again, and the booming explosion shattered the shadow of the dark red wings behind Lu Baoyou.
Debris flew, and thick smoke billowed.
Lin Qiye approached Lu Baoyou in the pit, stepped on his chest, bent down, and glared into Lu Baoyou’s eyes, roaring:
“With someone like you, why do you stand here, pointing your knife at the Night Watchmen?!
Because Lucifer gave you power?
Look into my eyes! Tell me!
You…
Are you the agent of the fallen angel, or the son of Night Watchman Lu Qiu, Lu Baoyou?”
Lin Qiye’s voice echoed under the night sky, and the surrounding recruits fell into a dead silence. Lu Baoyou stared blankly at those furnace-like golden eyes, his whole being like a stone statue, motionless.
In the silence, Lin Qiye suddenly pulled out the dagger from the ground, raised it high…
And stabbed it into the earth beside Lu Baoyou’s ear.
Lu Baoyou was dumbfounded.
He was the agent of the fallen angel, but after all, he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.
He had power, but until today, he had never been so thoroughly defeated, never been pressed to the ground and beaten while being held by the collar!
Even though the power of the fallen angel constantly filled his mind, making him violent, cruel, and arrogant, at this moment, he still felt an unprecedented fear…
In the firelight, Lin Qiye’s blazing golden eyes were deeply etched into his soul.
Was he the agent of the fallen angel, or the son of Night Watchman Lu Qiu?
Lu Baoyou’s thoughts froze.
He didn’t really know much about Lu Qiu, about his father.
This man who returned once every few years and stayed for less than two days might not be as close to Lu Baoyou as the uncle selling breakfast across the street. If he hadn’t accidentally seen that document related to the Night Watchmen, he might never have entered the door of the Night Watchmen in his life.
He didn’t understand Lu Qiu, nor did he understand the Night Watchmen; it meant nothing to him. As a child raised in a single-parent family, perhaps he didn’t even realize that deep down, what he sought was merely a form of alternative recognition.
He came here just wanting to join the Night Watchmen and stand before that man as an equal, coldly sneering at him and saying:
“Is it hard to be a Night Watchman?”
However, he didn’t know that the person he wanted to find was already gone… the recognition he sought would never be obtained.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, slowly stood up, the golden light in his eyes receding like a tide, and spoke softly:
“You don’t have to answer me now. For your father’s sake, I won’t kill you this time. Get out of this training camp, go home, and wait until you find the answer… then come back to find me.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand, and two daggers flew into his grasp as he turned to look in the direction where An Qingyu and the others were fighting fiercely.
At the same time.
Three members of the Ancient God Church had already engaged in battle with An Qingyu, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu.
In the same realm, bolstered by the power of the Divine Ruins, the combat strength of the three Ancient God Church members far exceeded that of ordinary Forbidden Ruins possessors. Even with An Qingyu and the others teaming up, they could only fight them to a standstill.
However, the members of the Ancient God Church had begun to realize that things were not looking good.
Their identities had been exposed, and they were trapped here by these three members of the “Nightfall” team. If this dragged on, they would be surrounded by other “Nightfall” members and instructors, leaving them with no chance of victory.
Most critically, Lord Qianmo had yet to appear!
Lord Qianmo had always been the pillar of support in the hearts of the three Ancient God Church members. They firmly believed that as long as Lord Qianmo intervened, the current predicament would be easily resolved… After all, the three oldest evil gods of the Ancient God Church held a high status in the minds of ordinary members.
But at such a critical moment, why had Lord Qianmo not made a move?
Had Lord Qianmo given up on them? Or… had something happened to Lord Qianmo as well?
“What should we do now?” the female recruit asked, dodging An Qingyu’s frost vines while frowning at the thin recruit. “If this drags on, we will definitely die!”
“I know.” The thin recruit took a deep breath, pulled out an ancient-looking ring from his pocket, and held it tightly in his palm. “The [Wallbreaker Magic Ring], when crushed, grants the wearer the power to break a certain order…
As long as I crush it, I can break the rules under the suppression of this Town Ruins Monument and return to my original realm.”
“But will that really work? Once you return to ‘Wuliang’, the instructors will also lift the suppression of the Town Ruins Monument, allowing everyone’s realm to revert, and we will still be in a besieged situation.” The young recruit spoke with some concern.
