Chapter 43 The Night Watchers Who Go Against the Grain
Lin Qiye's golden eyes flashed, and in just a moment, he reacted and reached behind him to grab something.
when!
The straight sword inside the black box was drawn and precisely blocked the middle-aged man's attack.
Too slow...
A hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
After more than half a year of training, Lin Qiye's combat skills have become increasingly mature.
It can be said that among all the new recruits in the training camp, his skills were among the best.
Having failed in his first attack, the middle-aged man withdrew and retreated, brandishing his straight sword and standing diagonally in front of him, looking at the two men with disdain.
Huh? He doesn't seem to understand the current situation...
Lin Qiye looked at the man in front of him and asked.
"Which city's night watchmen are you from? Why are you interfering in Cangnan's affairs?"
The middle-aged man with the Mediterranean hairline did not answer, but instead sneered and attacked the two men again with his straight knife.
Clearly, this 'Night Watchman', like Old Zhao, is someone who hasn't awakened the Forbidden Ruins and is responsible for controlling the [Boundless Void] within the team.
It can be said that the man in front of them, apart from being skilled with a knife, did not pose any other threat.
Even more tragically, he encountered two monsters, Li Jie and Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye raised his arm, and with a flash of light, the tall, thin man fell straight to the ground, motionless.
Seeing this, Li Jie also spoke up. "Let's go inside and check the situation."
The watchmen who put up the signs outside have been eliminated, so they no longer need to worry about being shot from the outside.
As the two entered the Boundless Void, two arrows, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, accurately struck from the rooftop.
Lin Qiye flicked his longsword, and the two arrows snapped in two.
The gold in his eyes shone even brighter, making the archers hidden in the shadows nowhere to hide.
Li Jie and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, and the latter, understanding the unspoken message, jumped towards the rooftop.
Li Jie continued walking into the street. As the distance closed, he could hear the conversations between the 'night watchmen' and Fatty and his group.
“We are no longer ‘night watchmen’; we come from ‘fasting place’.”
Upon hearing the word "fasting place," Cao Yuan's gaze darkened, and Baili Pangpang also noticed his unusual expression.
"Old Cao, what's the significance of this fasting?"
Cao Yuan tightened his grip on the scabbard with his left hand and said calmly.
"The fasting place is like a prison for the Night Watch, where most of the Night Watch members are imprisoned for committing crimes."
In other words, by attacking us now, these two have completely betrayed their original beliefs...
Zheng!
Upon hearing this, the two men clearly lost interest. One of them began to shrink back in a strange manner, while the other drew three straight swords from his waist.
"There's no point in saying all this now, because you... are about to die."
It's a pity we didn't find that little white-haired guy, otherwise we could have taken care of him too.
Little white hair?
Upon hearing this, the two realized that their target was not just Baili Pangpang.
Is Li Jie also within their pursuit range?
But... can they withstand one sword strike from Brother Li...?
The tense atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat eerie.
Just as they were about to make their move, Li Jie also stepped onto the battlefield.
Upon seeing him, Cao Yuan lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword and, together with Baili Pangpang, looked with pity at the 'dwarf' and the three-sword man after their [muscle reconstruction].
Seeing that the two fat men seemed to have given up resisting, the dwarf let out a sharp sneer.
"It seems you do have some self-awareness... Very well, let me see you off!"
Hey?
This sound?
Can muscle reconstruction also change the vocal cords? Looking at that adult-like face with the body of a primary school student, and listening to that strained voice that completely contradicts his appearance...
Fatty and Cao Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hearing their laughter, the dwarf man, as if insulted, suddenly charged at the two men.
A golden light flashed across Baili Pangpang's chest, and the protective light shield generated by [Yaoguang] instantly repelled him.
"Fighting isn't our business now, because that white-haired guy you're looking for is here!"
He extended his index finger and gently waved it at the person, then obsequiously stepped aside and embraced Li Jie.
"Brother Lei, let me tell you, these two are looking for trouble. It's one thing if they want to kill me, but they even want to kill you! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't tolerate it!"
Cao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Baili Pangpang's obsequious manner.
This chubby kid is supposed to be the heir to the Baili Group... how can he be so shameless!
He pursed his lips, stepped forward, and hugged Li Jie's other arm, saying softly.
"Um, it's a hassle that you guys have to beat me back after I draw my sword. Why don't you do it?"
Li Jie: .........
Baili Pangpang: Yeah, yeah, when Cao Cao goes berserk, he'll even attack his own people!
He looked at the two pendants on his left and right, and smiled helplessly.
If you want to shirk your responsibilities, just say so. Do you think I need to bother with this kind of trash?
"Go ahead and do it. You can't even handle these two ugly ducklings?"
Dwarf and Three-Knife Man: Crooked and Distorted?
Not only were the expressions of the two enemies off, but Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan were also a bit confused.
Hey?
It seems a little different from what we designed...
Logically, a master like him should be annihilated with a single sword strike, like a chivalrous hero in a novel. Why do we have to intervene...?
Has Brother Li become more benevolent lately?
Actually, Fatty and the others were wrong.
There are many reasons why Li Jie chose not to take action, including when dealing with that 'Watcher' before, he always tacitly allowed Lin Qiye to make the move.
After all, the ones who came to ambush them this time were powerful experts at the 'Sea' realm. If they knew their strength in advance, they might call for support from the 'Ancient God Church'.
If he wasn't absolutely certain he could eliminate all his spies, Li Jie planned to bide his time and launch a surprise attack at the last moment.
Just as the three were arguing about who should make the move, the dwarf and the three-sword man standing on the other side of the road couldn't take it anymore.
"You, the little white-haired guy, are you Li Jie?"
He wasn't surprised to hear the two of them call out his name accurately; the mole in the training camp had probably already passed on all the information they had gathered so far.
"Yes."
"That's perfect!" the dwarf man grinned sinisterly. "Let's see just how powerful this mysterious forbidden ruin really is!"
"Come and prepare to die!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the dwarf man and the three-knife man moved at the same time!
Li Jie looked at the two who started fighting without saying a word. Although his facial expression did not change, he was a little puzzled.
He was just thinking about one thing: a young man with his fighting prowess should definitely be someone the 'Ancient God Church' would want to recruit.
But why didn't they mention anything about courting them?
Were they not hired by the 'Church of the Ancient Gods'?
Just how many factions have infiltrated this city... and what are their goals...?
Although he knew that his involvement would definitely draw the ire of the 'Church of the Ancient Gods'.
But the current situation really baffled him...
