"The Night Watch squad stationed in Cangnan, huh..." Han Shaoyun's gaze swept over the crowd, and he shook his head. "A Night Watch squad from a third-tier city can't do anything to me."
In the Night's Watch's system of one team per city, the more important and larger the city, the stronger the average strength of the Night's Watch teams dispatched. For example, the 006 team stationed in the capital, Shangjing City, is a group of super strong people with an average "Sea" level of strength. Their combat power even surpasses that of some special teams, making them a true ace team!
However, as an ordinary third-tier city, Cangnan City's Night Watch team is bound to be limited in strength. After all, there are countless cities of this level across the country. In fact, Cangnan City is considered good. If it were a more remote city, a Night Watch team might not even have a "Chuan" Jing.
In a city like this, unless a special team comes to the rescue, generally speaking, "Hai" can roam freely.
However, looking at the whole country, there are only so many strong people in the "Sea" realm. Who would bother to go and become a king in a third-tier city? Even if someone did do that, a special team would definitely come and teach him a lesson within two days.
When Lin Qiye saw the members of Squad 136, he was initially overjoyed, but then he fell into worry...
If he were alone, he could use Nyx's Nightfall ability to escape, but with so many people coming, how could he possibly run away?
Should he abandon them and leave alone?
Absolutely impossible.
After spending so much time together, in Lin Qiye's heart, the members of Squad 136 were no longer just comrades-in-arms. Perhaps, as Leng Xuan said, this place... had become his second home.
He will not abandon his family.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, silently gripped the hilt of his knife, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
On the road below, Hongying lifted her dark red hood, her bright eyes smiling as she gazed at Lin Qiye. She stretched out her hand and waved happily at Lin Qiye.
"Little brother Qiye~ We're here to save you!"
Seeing Hongying still laughing so carefree in this situation, Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly. "Idiot..."
His body suddenly leaned backward, falling along the edge of the rooftop. Just before he hit the ground, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure flashed out like a ghost, appearing beside everyone in a moment.
Han Shaoyun held his halberd in hand, silently watching the scene without making a move.
Lin Qiye stood beside Chen Muye, holding two swords, glanced at the imposing Han Shaoyun, and calmly spoke:
"Captain, that's a 'Sea' realm..."Chen Muye nodded. "I know."
"Can we win?"
"Give it a try."
"Alright."
Hearing Chen Muye's words, Han Shaoyun, standing on the rooftop, shook his head again and calmly said:
"With just two 'Chuan' Realm cultivators, four 'Chi' Realm cultivators, and one ordinary person... you can't defeat me. There's no need for pointless sacrifices."
"I recognize you," Chen Muye suddenly said. "You're Han Shaoyun, the former captain of the Suzhou City Night Watch squad."
Han Shaoyun was silent for a moment, then said, "So what if it is?"
"You were once a captain, so why are you now willing to become a lackey of the Ancient God Church?" Chen Muye narrowed his eyes.
"You don't understand." Han Shaoyun slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking directly at Chen Muye, his voice low and hoarse.
"When you one day watch your teammates die one by one in front of you... perhaps you'll understand my choice."
Chen Muye frowned, about to say something, when Han Shaoyun spoke again:
"I'll remind you one more time: this time my target is only that boy. Leave now, and I won't make things difficult for you. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
Chen Muye remained silent.
He doesn't need to speak.
Because everyone will know his choice.
Leng Xuan gently touched his waist, a flash of silver light appeared, and a huge howitzer was hoisted onto his shoulder. In an instant, he aimed at Han Shaoyun on the rooftop and pulled the trigger!
Whoosh—!
A grenade shot out from Leng Xuan's shoulder, trailing a white flame tail, and instantly reached Han Shaoyun's front. Han Shaoyun frowned and his halberd whistled out!
Boom!!!
A blinding flash of fire exploded in front of Han Shaoyun. Just as the powerful explosion and fire wave were about to hit Han Shaoyun, a gust of wind exploded out from him, stirring up the snow on the roof and forcefully deflecting all the explosions!
Almost simultaneously, a red-tasseled spear popped out of the black box behind Hongying. She gripped the spear in her backhand, rose-colored flames erupted from her body, and she kicked off the ground with both legs, leaving a rose-red afterimage as she flew towards Han Shaoyun.
Amidst the smoke and dust of the exploding grenade, a flash of crimson gunfire appeared in the wind and snow!
Han Shaoyun dodged the spear tip with lightning speed, and the snowflakes swept around him by the wind danced with the tip of the halberd, suddenly sweeping across and slashing towards Hongying's waist!
Just as the halberd was about to strike, the red tassel in Han Shaoyun's eyes transformed into a woman in green, around thirty years old, with flowing hair, smiling eyes, and a gentle, tender demeanor...
Han Shaoyun's pupils suddenly contracted, and his halberd froze in mid-air for a moment.
"Qingqing..." His eyes glazed over, then a clarity returned to his mind. "No... a forbidden realm of mental illusions?"
On the road, Wen Qimo intertwined his fingers, forming a strange shape, and stared at Han Shaoyun on the rooftop, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
Han Shaoyun used his surging spiritual power to forcefully suppress the illusion. The woman in green in his eyes had disappeared and returned to Hongying's appearance.
Wen Qimo groaned, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
In that brief moment of delay, Hongying had already turned her spear around, the tip of which was like fire, aiming straight for Han Shaoyun's brow!
Han Shaoyun's pupils contracted slightly, he snorted coldly, and stomped his right foot heavily on the ground. A raging snowstorm exploded out from the center of him, easily sending Hongying and her gun flying. At the same time, the old building beneath his feet collapsed with a crash!
Han Shaoyun landed steadily on the snow, his halberd pointing to the ground. The wind swept away the dust, and he slowly walked out...
He stopped on the other side of the road, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Wen Qimo, whose face was somewhat pale.
"Forbidden Ruins Sequence 180, [Heart Demon Binding Technique]..."
Wen Qimo straightened up and chuckled, "It's not some powerful forbidden realm, but it seems surprisingly effective against someone like you tormented by inner demons..."
"Yeah?"
Han Shaoyun said calmly, raising his halberd slightly. Suddenly, whirlwinds appeared in the vast snowfield, swirling up the snow and flying into the sky, blotting out the sun!
Within a ten-mile radius, snow was falling heavily!
"Forbidden Ruins Sequence 079, [Great Wind Disaster]."
