Chapter 1142: Requiem Reappears
Inside the cave.
"This method won't work either..."
After An Qingyu rejected another proposal, the entire cave fell into silence.
"Could it be that we can only wait for death here?" Shen Qingzhu furrowed his brows, saying in a deep voice, "If that's the case, we might as well rush out and fight those monsters. At least before we die, we can kill a few more angels and demons, reducing the pressure on future Great Xia."
"No." The voice came from the corner of the cave. Lin Qiye, sitting to the side, slowly opened his eyes. "At least for now, we haven't reached that point yet."
Lin Qiye repeated Sun Wukong's words, and a glimmer of hope gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.
"This method carries enormous risk. No one knows if my darkness origin can destroy the hell origin, but from the current situation, this is our only choice."
"I think it's feasible." Shen Qingzhu said,
"If we fail, we might as well go down fighting those monsters together, but if we succeed... not only can we leave, but we can also destroy this Cthulhu Faction divine kingdom and directly eliminate this hidden danger for Earth.
That's a good trade."
An Qingyu thought carefully for a moment, then sighed. "We have no other options left. We can only take the gamble."
"I have no objections either." Jiang Er nodded.
Seeing that no one objected, Lin Qiye nodded solemnly:
"There are too many demons near the hell origin. We can't act recklessly. We need to first create an opportunity to get close to the origin..."
Amid the roaring waterfall, Lin Qiye and the others sat inside the cave, lowering their voices as they carefully planned.
Deepest part of hell.
At the corner of layered mountains, Lin Qiye and the four others hid beneath a massive boulder. Dense swarms of demons circled in the sky like dark clouds. A rough estimate showed at least three thousand.
At the edge of the blood pool, demon after demon with black wings on their backs shot skyward, merging into the dark clouds above.
"Gigigigi..."
"Zhuzhuzhuzhu..."
"Hehehehehe..."
A string of eerie laughter rose from the edge of the blood pool. Countless fleshy orb vengeful spirits, no more than a kilometer from Lin Qiye's group, waded into the blood pool in an orderly line.
Lin Qiye and his companions' current position was the closest they could get to the hell origin without being detected by the circling demons.
Lin Qiye gazed at the black crystal floating in the blood pool, then turned to look at the people behind him.
"If the plan fails, this might be our final battle..." Lin Qiye hesitated, then continued, "Are you all truly ready?"
An Qingyu, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu exchanged glances, smiling faintly.
"There's nothing to prepare for. Rather, from the moment we joined [Nightfall], we've been waiting for this day."
Shen Qingzhu spoke calmly, "Since we dared to become special squad members, we should have this觉悟 (awareness/courage to face death)."
When Lin Qiye heard this, he无奈地笑 (smiled helplessly).
"Then I'll begin."
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and gently pressed it against the ground beneath his feet. Several gorgeous magic arrays lit up one after another!
Whoosh—!!
A red dragon silhouette flapped its wings and flew into the sky first. Immediately after, a snow-white dragon followed!
The former was Hongyan, the nurse from the asylum, the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon. The latter was the frost dragon Lin Qiye summoned through dimensional summoning.
Both dragons flew beneath the deep crimson sky. Fire and frost dyed the heavens into two opposing extremes. Two thunderous dragon roars echoed through the massed demons, and the majestic draconic might instantly drew the attention of all the demons.
After Hongyan and the frost dragon spewed several breaths of dragonfire into the dark clouds above, they flew off in two completely opposite directions. The demons circling above the blood pool treated them as a serious threat and immediately split half their black-winged demons to pursue those two dragons!
"That's not enough..." Lin Qiye stared at the remaining number of demons in the sky, murmuring to himself.
As his spiritual power rapidly depleted, densely packed magic arrays unfurled across the sky. Snow Maiden, Gray Sparrow, Wang Cai, and other nurses skilled in speed emerged from the arrays one after another, each engaging a wave of demons and leading them away from the blood pool.
Especially Wang Cai. This dog dressed in a tailcoat merely wagged its butt at the dark clouds a few times, and immediately八九百只 (eight or nine hundred) demons charged out. Those blood-red compound eyes stared at it fiercely, as if wanting to tear it to pieces.
By the time Lin Qiye had summoned all the nurses capable of luring away demons, his face had already turned pale. At this point, only a few dozen demons remained guarding the sky.
It seemed these were the core defensive梯队 (squad/tier) protecting the blood pool. No matter who came to provoke them, they couldn't be lured away.
"We're running out of time. We go in now!"
A fierce gleam flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes. His figure turned into a black lightning bolt and shot forward. An Qingyu and the others had been waiting for this moment. They immediately followed close behind!
The distance of one kilometer was practically negligible for Lin Qiye and the others. The only problem was that there were still massive numbers of fleshy orb vengeful spirits queuing at the edge of the blood pool, forming a wall of flesh that blocked their path.
Lin Qiye gripped Ame-no-Murakumo in reverse and flung it in a spinning motion. A golden flash streaked across the air. Empowered by "Miracle," the sword just happened to arc perfectly, slicing through four vengeful spirits in one breath and forcibly carving out a gap.
Four silhouettes dashed through the fleshy orb vengeful spirits. An Qingyu stepped forward, her foot landing on the churning surface of the blood pool, instantly laying down a path of ice and frost that led straight to the floating black crystal in the center!
Meanwhile, the dozens of demons circling in the air also sensed Lin Qiye and the others' intentions. Their black wings beat rapidly as they dove toward them at high speed!
Lin Qiye charged at the front, his eyes locked on the approaching black crystal. He bellowed:
"Block them!!"
Shen Qingzhu, An Qingyu, and Jiang Er leaped into the air simultaneously, shielding the straight-line-advancing Lin Qiye, and directly collided with those dozens of demons!
The time the nurses could keep the massed demons occupied was limited. The moment fighting broke out here at the hell origin, the lured demons would quickly realize something was wrong, abandon their pursuit of the nurses, and immediately rush back to defend.
For Lin Qiye, not a single second could be wasted, and he absolutely could not be slowed down by those demons.
His target was only that black crystal!
An Qingyu pulled a skull from her bosom and疯狂灌入 (frantically poured) her spiritual power into it. Crimson light radiated from the eye sockets of the skull. Then, the half-section of bright red tongue began to tremble.
A faint song drifted out from the skull.
Shen Qingzhu snapped his fingers. The song was immediately compressed by the air, amplified countless times, and surged toward the diving demons in the sky!
