Straight blade, cloak, emblem.
These are the three standard pieces of equipment that every official Night's Watch member possesses. For some special Night's Watch members, the straight sword can be replaced with other weapons of the same material, and the style of the cloak will also change depending on the team they belong to. For example, after joining a special squad, a cloak of the color belonging to that special squad will be issued again.
The ordinary Night's Watch cloaks are dark red because dark red can cover up traces of blood; the [Masked] Squad's cloaks are gray; the [Phoenix] Squad's cloaks are gold...
But only the emblem cannot be replaced, reissued, or changed; it is unique to every Night's Watchman.This is the life of the night watchman.
It can enable Night Watchers without Forbidden Ruins to activate them in a short time, and enable those with Forbidden Ruins to advance a major realm in a short time, even if it costs them their lives.
This is the capital that every Night's Watchman has to fight for his life; it is their last dignity and faith in desperate situations!
—Just like the four vows on its back.
It was clear that Instructor Hong was interrupted during his practice of faith.
"Qi Ye, you..." Instructor Hong stared blankly at Lin Qi Ye. He would never have imagined that his final moment of glory would be interrupted in this way.
Lin Qiye walked up to the three of them, facing the terrifying fireball that was about to be unleashed, and calmly spoke:
"Leave the rest to me."
He slowly closed his eyes, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body. His lips parted slightly.
"To bear..."
The goddess of night from the hospital pierced through the mental fog and descended to the mortal realm. She smiled as she looked at Lin Qiye, who had his eyes closed, and walked forward step by step... overlapping with his figure.
Within Lin Qiye's body, on the divine core belonging to [Night], lies the soul of a true god!
His short, clean black hair grew at an astonishing speed, turning into long, jet-black hair in the blink of an eye, casually cascading down to her waist. His skin became visibly smoother, transforming from somewhat tanned due to training to fair and delicate skin.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes shone brightly like stars, deep and mysterious.
An incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body, and the pressure from the gods truly descended upon the mortal world. Just one glance at him was enough to inspire people to worship him!
Baili Pangpang and the others witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and their mouths dropped open, their eyes filled with utter shock!
This is... Lin Qiye?
Yes, Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes.
Then,It got dark.
The boiling magma, the gathering fireballs, and the light and fiery red that filled the cave vanished instantly, as if all the light had been abruptly extinguished.
The lava is still there, the fireball is still there, but the light is gone...
Darkness became the dominant force in this world.
In this dark world, only one protagonist remains.
His long black hair swayed slightly, and he wore a black military overcoat, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, as if he were one with the night. His hand rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his eyes, as bright as stars in the darkness, were calmly gazing at the earth dragon above his head.
It's like an eternal painting.In the pitch-black world, the fireball, stripped of its light, turned grayish-brown. The Fiery Dragon seemed to realize something was wrong, and instead of continuing to charge up, it roared and launched the massive fireball in front of it!
The fireball, the size of a building, resembled a meteorite about to crash to Earth, carrying terrifying energy as it plummeted at breakneck speed, as if it were about to destroy the world!
In the sky, the gray-brown fireball rapidly expanded, but Lin Qiye's eyes remained calm as still water.
Clang—!
A soft sound was heard.
Beneath the black military overcoat, a straight sword gleaming with blue light was drawn from its sheath.
A blade flashed across the fireball, which instantly froze in mid-air. A black thread appeared on the surface of the fireball, and endless darkness surged from the center of the thread, instantly enveloping the entire fireball!
Thus, this fireball, powerful enough to destroy the entire Jinan Mountain Range, vanished in the blink of an eye into the void of darkness, like a blown bubble.
The devastating attack unleashed by the Fiery Earth Dragon was so easily dissipated by Lin Qiye's blade.
"This place is too small, let's find another spot."
Lin Qiye spoke calmly, his voice different from usual, more androgynous, yet his words carried an inexplicable air of authority.
After saying that, he gently raised his left hand and pointed it at the rock formation above his head.
The next moment, a black beam of light shot out from his fingertip, instantly piercing through nearly two kilometers of rock strata. The rock in the middle was completely obliterated, leaving only a huge circular passage.
This passage, which cuts through the rock strata, stretches upwards as if it were endless, with no end in sight.
This is [Darkest Erosion], which covers the surrounding two kilometers of the Divine Ruins, instantly tearing apart the thick soil layer and creating a passage from the ground back to the surface.
Lin Qiye's figure flickered, transforming into a streak of black light and flying to the base of the Flame Vein Earth Dragon in mid-air. He placed a hand on the surface of its dragon scales, and the next moment, both the man and the dragon disappeared!
He pierced through the rock layer to connect with the outside sky; he could only use [Night Blink] under the cover of night.
Earth dragons are very strong, but only underground. Once the battlefield is moved, the opponent's combat power will be greatly reduced.
Of course, Lin Qiye did this not only to take away the Flame Vein Earth Dragon, but also for a more important purpose.
"He's created a portal back to the surface!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed. "We can go back through this portal!"
Instructor Hong squinted at the almost vertical tunnel overhead, then looked at the two of them. "Can you fly?"
"Leave it to me." Baili Pangpang patted his chest, and the [Yaoguang] on his chest gathered into a large golden sword shadow, which floated in front of the three of them.
The three stepped onto the sword shadows and flew towards the passage above.
"I've never carried three people before... It seems a bit heavy." The golden sword shadow beneath Baili Pangpang's feet slowly rose, swaying and barely moving faster than an elevator, and he said somewhat awkwardly.
"I could run straight up, but that would definitely separate me from you. At this critical juncture, it's best not to separate, since there's still an enemy hiding somewhere."
Instructor Hong glanced back at the receding cave and frowned as he spoke.
...
Under the darkness, above the clouds.
Two figures appeared out of thin air in the sky. The Fiery Dragon flapped its wings, and red flame patterns lit up around its body. It stared intently at what was in front of it, its eyes filled with apprehension.
Opposite him, Lin Qiye, dressed in a black military overcoat, floated silently in the air. The blade of the straight knife in his hand clearly reflected the moonlight, and black crows flew around him, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.
"Now, this is my home turf," Lin Qiye said calmly.
