Chapter 711
The burning Straight Blade sliced through the tumbling black hair, instantly piercing through the black-haired female ghost's skull. Flames scorched every strand of hair that approached the Straight Blade, and a pungent stench filled the air!
Amidst the shrill, miserable wailing, the flames swept across, completely devouring the black-haired female ghost's form.
After eliminating the black-haired female ghost with thunderous手段, Lin Qiye raised his hand, and the Straight Blade automatically flew back into his palm. However, there was not a trace of joy on his face, because from the walls closest to them, several revived stone statues had already crawled out, surrounding them!
"Run!" Lin Qiye sensed the surroundings with his spiritual power while quickly saying to Amemiya Haruki.
Amemiya Haruki didn't hesitate in the slightest. He sheathed 【Rainfall Collapse】, drew his legs beneath him, and sprinted after Lin Qiye toward where the fewest stone statues were.
After a brief hesitation, Wei Dong also sprinted wildly to catch up with Lin Qiye.
He had no Forbidden Ruins. Without those equipment, he was just an ordinary person with decent combat skills. Facing such a large-scale stone statue attack, he had no chance of survival. So the best approach was naturally to flee with Lin Qiye.
More importantly, based on Lin Qiye's abilities just now, he had basically ruled out the possibility that the other party was a Magatsu Blade wielder. He might even be like himself, someone from outside the "Human Enclosure."
Outside the "Human Enclosure," only the Oath Society seemed to possess the ability to walk freely through the mist... But he could confirm that Lin Qiye was not a member of the Oath Society, for there was no mark of the Spear of Judgment and Oath on his palm.
No! Wait!
Aside from the Oath Society, there was another team with the ability to walk through the mist.
Wei Dong remembered that during his training at the Oath Society, the president had mentioned that Great Xia's Night Watch had a dedicated Special Team 005 that performed the duties of walking through the mist and executing confidential missions. The name of that team was... 【Blue Rain】?
But hadn't 【Blue Rain】 been wiped out long ago?
What puzzled Wei Dong the most was: if Lin Qiye truly came from the mist, how could he suddenly transform into a Magatsu Blade wielder?
After all, not just anyone could become a Magatsu Blade wielder. For the Magatsu Blade spirit to acknowledge someone from another country as its master was basically impossible.
With these doubts swirling in his mind, Wei Dong sprinted to Lin Qiye's side. The latter glanced at him, about to speak, when he seemed to sense something and猛地 drew his blade, slashing toward some emptiness beside him.
Clang—!!
At the edge of an empty wall, a thin figure holding a short staff materialized. Its pale eyes stared at the Straight Blade in Lin Qiye's hand, its expression seemingly shocked.
It stepped back, its form fading, and vanished from Wei Dong's line of sight once more.
"You can't hide." Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed. He stepped forward, and emerald green sprouts burst from the ground around him, instantly growing into a verdant lawn that spread like wildfire!
【Eternal Secret Garden】.
One after another, flower buds bloomed on the verdant grass, entangling some emptiness. The thin figure holding the short staff was forced to materialize once more, its ankles locked tightly by the flowers and grass, unable to move even an inch.
Immediately afterward, numerous buds began growing on its skin's surface,汲取着 its strength and vitality. Its body withered visibly to the naked eye, its expression terrified.
Lin Qiye didn't bother with it anymore. Instead, he gripped both Straight Blades, black night flashing across the blade's edge, and engaged another charging blue cat demon.
That cat demon was incredibly fast—fast enough to pierce through space. Its form flickered intermittently in the air, the naked eye couldn't track its speed. Yet Lin Qiye donned a mantle of night, relying on his exceptionally powerful dynamic vision and 【Night Flicker】, and forcibly stopped it.
The black and blue figures flashed madly across the lawn. After Lin Qiye slashed a dozen times, he sent it flying.
After swiftly eliminating two obstructing "mysteries," Lin Qiye, his black trench coat billowing, stepped across the verdant grass, sprinting forward and carving a bloody path.
Watching this scene from behind, both Amemiya Haruki and Wei Dong stared in shock, mouths agape.
Amemiya Haruki had never seen Lin Qiye go all out before. Only now did he realize just how formidable Lin Qiye was without any Forbidden Ruins constraints...
Wei Dong's shock stemmed from something entirely different. As someone from the mist, he was naturally very familiar with Forbidden Ruins. Lin Qiye hadn't even drawn the Magatsu Blade at his waist, yet he'd already deployed at least four distinct abilities—this was unheard of.
"You're not from the Japanese 'Human Enclosure'?" After pondering for a moment, Wei Dong couldn't help but ask.
However, this time, he spoke not in Japanese, but in authentic Mandarin Chinese.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye, who had been sprinting forward with dual blades, froze. He猛地 turned to look at Wei Dong and replied in Chinese, "Great Xia person?"
Wei Dong's mouth twitched, and郁闷 instantly welled up in his heart!
So two Great Xia people had been mutually probing each other in Japanese all this time, only to discover they were on the same side?!
"Are you Night Watch? Which team? How did you get here?" Lin Qiye fired off a string of questions.
"I'm not Night Watch." Wei Dong shook his head. "I came from the Oath Society."
"Oath Society?" Lin Qiye paused. "Never heard of it."
"..."
"The Oath Society is..." Wei Dong was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly ducked. A spike grazed his scalp, nearly piercing straight through his head.
He glanced back. Seven or eight revived stone statues were chasing the three of them frantically along the corridor behind.
"I'll explain later once we're out of here." With that, Wei Dong reached out to Lin Qiye while running.
"What's that for?"
"Give my equipment back. I can help."
After a brief hesitation, Lin Qiye tossed the pixel gun to Wei Dong.
Since Wei Dong's identity had been confirmed as a Great Xia person, the misunderstanding between them could be temporarily set aside. In this foreign land, Lin Qiye was willing to trust his Great Xia compatriot once more. Besides, he had secretly placed a summoning spell on the pixel gun. If Wei Dong truly wanted to backstab him with it, Wei Dong would be the one to die.
Trust and vigilance weren't mutually exclusive.
Wei Dong caught the pixel gun, weighed it in his hand, and without looking back, fired several shots toward the rear. Pixel bullets tore through the barrel, whistling as they precisely struck the heads of several "mysteries"!
