Chapter 1091 – Blood Staining the Heavenly Vault
The moment he saw this coat of arms, an inexplicable sense of summoning surged into Lin Qiye’s heart.
This feeling was wonderful, as if everything was predestined, and the moment the crest, lying in the snow, reflected his charred and festering face, countless images swept through his mind like a movie.
In the rainy night, Zhao Kongcheng who drew his sword to cut down the ghosts; outside the mist, Zhou Ping who wielded his sword to cut down the gods; in the Sinking Dragon Pass, Lu Qiu who desperately tried to pass on the message; beside the border, the gods of Daxia who sacrificed their bodies to turn the monument into a monument ……
The radiance emanating from them, at this moment, Lin Qiye also saw it.
It was, right above that coat of arms.
It had been on his own body, and it was so close to him, obviously, yet it seemed so far away.
Lin Qiye, who was covered in scorched blackness, tremblingly stretched out his hands, as if holding the most precious treasure, and shaved this glow out of the snow, cradling it in his own palm.
What fell in the snow was not only a coat of arms, but also what Lin Qiye lacked within his heart, that piece of faith and mission that belonged solely to the Night’s Watch.
That was what he had lost in the past few years, and the root cause of his confusion and self-questioning.
The moment he clutched this coat of arms, it was as if all the confusion and questioning in his heart had been answered.
Lin Qiye smiled.
He laughed happily, and even though it caused the corners of that carbonized and charred mouth to split open in another hideous bloody gash, his eyes were still brighter than ever.
”Domestic ancient poems, foreign poems, have all been exhausted …… This time, I want to try something else.”
He slowly stood up, and in the blizzard, looked up at the towering monument of the God of Zhen Guo, the right hand that clutched the coat of arms clenched its fist tightly and raised it to the side of his temple.
The smile on his face gradually tightened, and in its place, there was an unprecedented seriousness.
He stood there pensively, his lips lightly parted, and his voice was laced with some sort of mysterious rhythm that echoed in the wind and snow:
”I, Lin Qiye, swear before the Great Summer beings.If the Eclipsing Night comes at last ……”
The whimpering wind and snow echoed between the mountain peaks.
Countless recruits stared blankly at the battlefield of the Zhen Guo Divine Monument in the distance, as motionless as statues.
They had witnessed the figure clad in a crimson cloak, standing before the gods in a mortal body, defeated and seriously injured time and time again, only to stubbornly and resolutely rise up and defend under the divine monument once again.
The first time he was struck down by the God of the Sky, the hearts of the crowd of recruits seemed to have come to a sudden halt, as endless despair and grief surged through them.
The second time he was struck into a deep pit by the God of Life, the hearts of the crowd of recruits were like ashes.
When they saw Lin Qiye’s fiery, carbonized body rising from the bottom of the pit, they finally couldn’t restrain the emotions in their hearts and fought to roar lowly as they hammered the ground with both fists, their reddened eyes, which had been filled with tears, were already full of tears.
”Instructor Lin!!!”
”Instructor Lin!!!”
”Instructor Lin!!! Fuck these sons of bitches of foreign gods to death!!!”
”……”
This was the first time they had witnessed such a gruesome battle.
It was also the first time they had, so clearly, felt what it meant to be a night watchman ……
To the side of the recruits, Shen Qingzhu stared dead on at the charred figure, his body trembling slightly under the crimson cloak, his ten fingers snapped deeply into his palms, his nails piercing through his flesh, and a strand of blood dripping down his bones into the snow.
He wanted to rush over countless times to fight alongside Lin Qiye’s trio, but his reason controlled him time and time again, making him stay where he was.
He didn’t have the perverted potential of Lin Qiye, nor did he have a monster as terrifying as the one inside Cao Yuan’s body, he, Shen Qingzhu, was just an ordinary person, and even if he rushed to the divine monument and forcefully elevated his realm with the Ghost and God Guide, he still didn’t have any threat to speak of in front of the gods at all.
Lin Qiye left them behind because he hoped that if anything happened to him, they would be able to protect this group of recruits.
These recruits …… are the future of Da Xia.
Shen Qingzhu’s chest rose and fell violently as he looked at the distant battlefield, and for the first time, he felt that he was so weak, so weak that he didn’t even have the qualifications to join his own brothers and gamble his life to kill.
Anger, self blame, unwillingness, these emotions madly surged into his heart.
He …… can t do anything.
Just as Shen Qingzhu fell into deep self-blame, he saw that under the Zhen Guo Divine Monument, the figure with a charred black body slowly raised his fist and placed it next to his temple.
A voice echoed between heaven and earth.
”I, Lin Qiye, swear an oath before the Great Xia beings.If the Eclipsing Night ends up coming ……”
The moment they heard this voice, all the recruits present froze in place, except for Shen Qingzhu who quickly reacted as if he had thought of something.
He recalled the words that Lin Qiye had spoken to him not long ago and guessed what Lin Qiye was going to do next.
Damn …… damn!
In Shen Qingzhu’s mind, a glimmer of light flashed as he violently turned his head and yelled at all the recruits on his side:
”What are you guys waiting for! Instructor Lin’s final lecture hasn’t ended yet!
Everyone! Follow Instructor Lin and take the oath!!!”
Shen Qingzhu’s roar awakened the recruits present from their daze, they quickly stood up straight, their right hands clenched and placed next to their temples, their eyes staring tightly at the charred and blackened, yet still straight figure before the divine monument:
”I, Fang Mo, swear before the Great Xia beings!”
”I, Lu Baoyu, swear in front of the Great Xia beings!”
”I, Li Zhenzhen, swear before the Great Xia beings!”
”I, Su Zhe, swear before ……”
”……”
In the end, everyone’s voices converged into one sentence:
”–If the Eerie Night finally arrives!!!”
In the distance, the oaths of hundreds of recruits sounded like rolling thunder, echoing between the wind and snow.
Essis stood under the divine monument and looked in the direction from which the sound came, frowning slightly, and then turned his head to look at the charred black figure behind him who had climbed out of the deep pit and was slowly walking.
As the sound spread, there seemed to be some sort of extremely strong power that was surging out of his body.
That was the [Bard of the Sky].
”What a shadowy soul ……”
Aixis snorted coldly, cloaked in a green jacket, and walked towards Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye’s expression was calm beyond compare as he opened his mouth and his voice came out once again:
”–I shall stand before ten thousand people!!!”
”–I shall stand before ten thousand people!!!” On the peaks in the distance, hundreds of recruits roared in unison.
”–Horizontal Sword to the Abyss!!!”
”–Horizontal Sword to the Abyss!!!”
Seeing Aixis’ figure getting closer and closer to his own, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and with a flip of the heraldic crest clutched tightly between his palms, a short, silver-colored needle popped out of its own accord.
Lin Qiye’s eyes erupted with an unprecedented light!
Lightning fast, he stabbed this short needle, into his own flesh and blood, and with all his strength, he hissed:
”–Blood Stained Heavenly Vault!!!”
”–Blood Stained Heavenly Vault!!!”
