Chapter 816: Fallen Angel's Agent
A large number of new soldiers, weapons in hand, flooded through the entrance and charged杀气腾腾 toward the center of the cavern with murderous intent.
"Dean, there are so many of them, I'm so scared..." A Zhu hung from the spider web, pitifully sending a telepathic message to Lin Qiye as she watched the new soldiers whose eyes radiated killing intent.
At that moment, a voice transmitted back to her.
"You don't need to participate in the battle. Once I knock the new soldiers unconscious, you immediately bind them with spider silk. Remember, tie them tightly and don't expose the trick."
"Huh? Okay!"
A Zhu obediently crawled back to the center of the spider web.
Among the crowd, the figure wrapped in a Crimson Cloak stepped out from the void and directly appeared in the mid-rear area of the charging new soldiers.
This position was extremely tactically calculated. Among the new soldiers, those with the most fighting spirit and the most confidence in their combat abilities had all rushed to the front. The new soldiers in the mid-rear area were mostly those who had been inspired by their companions' morale before joining the campaign, and they were slightly superior in both strength and temperament.
Lin Qiye's sudden appearance at this moment directly startled them, causing immediate chaos.
At the same time, Lin Qiye's right hand, which had been resting on the hilt of White Slash, slowly drew the blade from its sheath.
A snow-white arc of blade light flashed out centered on Lin Qiye, and under the condition of ignoring distance, it simultaneously covered nearly all the new soldiers around him. This sudden attack directly knocked unconscious approximately seventy percent of the new soldiers, who fell like a tide of bodies.
Of course, with the eyesight of these new soldiers, they couldn't tell that Lin Qiye had actually struck with the back of his blade.
The remaining few new soldiers hadn't yet recovered from this bewildering scene when massive amounts of spider silk descended from above, instantly wrapping around the unconscious soldiers on the ground and rapidly encasing them, suspending them into the air like corpses.
To match Lin Qiye's performance for authenticity, A Zhu even controlled the spider silk to seep out streaks of crimson bloodstains.
The remaining twenty-odd new soldiers were completely stunned.
One strike from a "Pool" realm expert, instantly killing over sixty new soldiers?!
Even though this was a fake Night Watch squad, their strength was simply too exaggerated!
In truth, Lin Qiye's strike had borrowed the advantage of the Magatsu Blade. Not to mention that Lin Qiye was currently only at the "Pool" realm—even if he had no cultivation at all, relying solely on this White Slash, he could fight against an ordinary "Sea" realm expert.
Of course, Lin Qiye's purpose with this strike was merely to create momentum, to apply pressure to the remaining new soldiers who possessed true fighting spirit and combat capability, to further stimulate their potential. He would not continuously use such cheating methods.
Otherwise, this assessment would lose its meaning.
Lin Qiye sheathed White Slash and calmly gazed at the new soldiers before him. The vast majority were at the "Lantern" realm, with only two new soldiers having broken through to the "Pool" realm. But regardless of their cultivation levels, they all now looked at Lin Qiye as if they were looking at a monster.
"He's sheathed his blade! Attack!"
One of the "Pool" realm new soldiers bellowed, rushing out first with a standard-issue Straight Blade that bore no name, ferociously charging toward Lin Qiye.
Good temperament.
Lin Qiye gave his silent assessment in his heart.
This time, Lin Qiye did not activate his Forbidden Ruins nor draw his blade. He merely took a light step backward, utilizing his terrifying dynamic vision and rich combat experience to effortlessly dodge the new soldier's attacks.
That new soldier swung several consecutive strikes without even touching a single strand of Lin Qiye's hair. His right foot stamped hard on the ground, and a series of pitch-black steel serpents broke through the earth!
"Oh?"
Lin Qiye let out a soft exclamation. His spiritual sense instantly predicted the trajectories of these steel serpents. His feet pressed against the ground, his body floating lightly upward, and his fingertips gently pointed at those steel serpents. Night浸染 spread across their bodies...
【至暗侵蚀】 (Dark Corrosion).
These steel serpents were instantly seized of their control by Lin Qiye and turned to bind the new soldier's body. Lin Qiye casually slapped his hand backward, sending the man flying into A Zhu's spider web, where he was wrapped and suspended.
The remaining new soldiers, seeing that Lin Qiye truly hadn't drawn his blade and still seemed to have fighting power, charged forward together!
In Lin Qiye's eyes, two brilliant golden lights blazed!
Seraphic Authority poured out. The bodies of those new soldiers all shuddered simultaneously, their movements becoming stiff.
Although Lin Qiye had suppressed his realm to the "Pool" stage, even at this stage, the Seraphic Authority could still cause immense disruption to enemies of the same realm. Moreover, the vast majority of these new soldiers were merely "Lantern" realm novices.
This wave of divine authority directly disrupted the new soldiers' formation, creating a flaw in their ranks.
Lin Qiye, now empty-handed, rushed into the midst of them like a specter, moving with astonishing speed. Whenever he arrived before a new soldier, he would briefly exchange blows, then knock them unconscious and push them into the spider web.
In less than a minute, all twenty-odd new soldiers had been "eliminated," suspended by A Zhu's spider silk and becoming part of the many "corpses."
Beneath the endless cocoons of spider silk "corpses," Lin Qiye wrapped in a Crimson Cloak and wearing a mask slowly turned his head, staring at those new soldiers who had been scared stiff and frozen in place.
"Aaaah!!"
Several new soldiers came to their senses, frantically scrambling up from the ground. Having witnessed Lin Qiye's entire "killing" display, they mustered every ounce of their strength and fled toward the distance.
Lin Qiye did not pursue. These soldiers who fled were also an extremely important part of their plan.
In the shadows of the cavern, Lin Qiye's figure flickered and vanished without a trace.
...
"Instructor Yuan."
When he appeared again, Lin Qiye had already arrived at the underground monitoring center.
"Qiye? Why are you here?" Yuan Gang was somewhat puzzled to see Lin Qiye suddenly appear.
"Can I see this year's roster of new soldiers?"
"The roster? Sure, why would you suddenly want to look at that?"
As he spoke, Yuan Gang handed the file in his hand to Lin Qiye.
"Among this year's new soldiers, are there any divine agents?" Lin Qiye took the file and asked.
"There are, as a matter of fact..."
"Who are they? Whose god's agents are they?"
"His name is Lu Baoyou. He's the agent of Lucifer with the divine agent designation 004. However, his qualification to participate in the new soldier training has been revoked."
Upon hearing the three words "Lu Baoyou," Lin Qiye's hand paused.
This name...
"As for the reason for the qualification revocation... it's rather complicated." Yuan Gang sighed. "This child, as a newly emerged divine agent, should have received absolute attention. But unfortunately... his father sacrificed himself in the recent Sunken Dragon Pass campaign not long ago.
The Night Watch has an unwritten rule: the only child of a martyr who died in battle cannot join the Night Watch.
Although descendants of those who possess Forbidden Ruins have a higher chance of awakening Forbidden Ruins themselves, to ensure the continuation of the martyr's bloodline, we can only do this. It's a matter of respect for the martyrs.
They have already given their lives for Great Xia. Their children cannot be sacrificed as well...
Coincidentally, this child caused some trouble on his way to Shangjing, so we used that incident as the reason to revoke his qualification."
