Chapter 1144 – Siege of Desperation

　　”Will [Night Curtain] disappear after we die?” Jiang Er couldn’t help but ask.

　　”…… won’t.” Lin Qiye slowly spoke.

　　”In terms of the Night Vigil’s constitution, only when the initial number of members of a special squad is less than three will the squad be automatically disbanded, retaining only the number, which is considered to exist in name only.

　　However, as long as the number of members is three and above, the existence of the squad can be maintained by replenishing new members.”

　　”Old Cao and Chubby are still in the Heavenly Court, Caran can be counted even though he’s in slumber, plus the body left behind by Qingyu …… [Night Curtain] will still have four members left and won’t be disbanded, so as long as it’s expanded with two more new members, it’ll still be able to carry out missions on behalf of Daxia.”

　　Lin Qiye turned around, looked at An Qingyu’s eyes, and said seriously:

　　”Qingyu, from now on, you are the captain of the [Night Curtain]…… Understand?”

　　An Qingyu gazed at Lin Qiye, didn’t nod or shake his head, just remained silent.

　　There were some words that he wanted to say, but he couldn’t say them now.

　　Losing Lin Qiye, Shen Qingzhu, Jiang’er …… Even if he replenished more newcomers, that [Night Curtain] squad, it was no longer [Night Curtain].

　　An Qingyu was the one who joined the Night Vigil because of Lin Qiye, and only then did she become the vice captain of the [Night Curtain] squad, so if even Lin Qiye was gone, what was the significance of the existence of such a squad?

　　”Just pity Cao Yuan.” Lin Qiye looked like he thought of something and helplessly laughed, “It was so hard to regain some sanity, and when he heard the news that we died in battle, he’s probably going to turn into a fool who can only heckle …… again.”

　　Hearing these words, the corners of everyone’s mouths couldn’t help but curl up into a smile.

　　With their backs turned to each other, facing four different directions, pitch-black dark clouds rushed down to earth, and they looked up at the thousands of demons that were destroying the world, with hideously dense and bizarre laughter that rushed in like a wave.

　　”Cackle cackle ……”

　　”Kikikikik ……”

　　”Heh heh heh ……”

　　The smirk on Lin Qiye’s face gradually converged, and in its place was a raging battle intent to break through!

　　”Kill!!!”

　　He let out a low roar, and the four figures simultaneously took the initiative to rush towards the black pressurized demons like electricity.

　　Jiang’er transformed into a white shadow and slammed headlong into one of the demons, manipulating its body and slaughtering the other demons surrounding it like a madman.

　　By surprise, she killed two demons in a row and seriously injured several more, and when the demon she possessed was surrounded by other demons, she once again transformed into a white shadow and slammed into another demon’s body, backstabbing it frantically.

　　Jiang’er’s body was in An Qingyu’s body, now she was just a magnetic field, no matter how the demons surrounded her, they couldn’t hurt her in the slightest, they could only let her backstab her possessed body.

　　Under the successive back-stabbing and body changing, the demon group soon grew chaotic, countless black wings interlaced and flapped in the sky, one after another demon fell into the clouds, all of them died in the hands of their own people.

　　An Qingyu carried the black coffin on her back, her figure rapidly weaving in and out of the demons.

　　Frost, silk threads, thunder, poisonous mist …… endless layers of bizarre abilities were released from his body, and whenever a demon rushed towards him, his figure gently swayed as if he were an undefeatable man, and the trajectory of those attacks would naturally be deflected, landing on a certain demon behind him.

　　After dodging through several demons’ siege attacks one after another by relying on the Undying Womb, An Qingyu stretched out his hand and pressed it in the void.

　　With him as the center, the surrounding three-dimensional space instantly collapsed, as if an invisible hand had squashed the bodies of several demons, turning them into pieces of paper floating in the air.

　　With a single chop of An Qingyu’s frost longsword, he sliced these demons from it.

　　Splat–!

　　A crisp ringing finger sound came out, and the raging flames instantly engulfed the forms of several demons at the very front.

　　Shen Qingzhu held a cigarette in his mouth and lifted his fingertips lightly, the air around him was like a part of his body, it began to compress at a rapid speed, along with the flames in it, it formed countless raging tornadoes that coiled around his body.

　　These demons were originally corpses, draining the air didn’t do much for them, and the only thing that could hurt them was the flames that were compressed to the extreme.

　　Shen Qingzhu once again snapped his fingers, and the flame tornado flooded a small half of the sky in an instant.

　　One magical radiance after another bloomed in the sky.

　　Those high-ranked guardians that had been used to lure away the demons in the beginning rushed out from Lin Qiye’s side one after another, battling the demons roaming the sky.

　　Lin Qiye held the Tian Cong Yun Sword in one hand and the [Chopping White] in the other, his figure roamed through the void like a ghost, and with each strike, he was able to chop off the head of a demon.

　　Stab-la-!

　　Just as Lin Qiye was frantically harvesting, a blood-colored thunderbolt cut through the sky and slammed straight into the massive Inferno Vein Earth Dragon.

　　The red color was struck by the thunder and a mottled scorch mark immediately appeared on its body as the dragon’s body flew out upside down, reverting back to its humanoid form and being hauled back into the sickbay.

　　The blood-colored thunder didn’t stop there, but instead heavily injured several caretakers one after another, traced a z-shaped trajectory in the sky, and instantly flashed to Lin Qiye’s body.

　　Lin Qiye had long noticed the presence of this thunder, and immediately took a step out, cutting the Heavenly Crowning Cloud Sword in front of his body ahead of time, cutting off a corner of the thunder hard.

　　A pitch-black broken wing fell into the sky.

　　Only at this point did Lin Qiye see the true appearance of this blood-colored thunder, it was a demon with four black wings on its back.

　　In terms of appearance, it was very different from those grudge demons, his body was closer to that of a human, reddish in color, and if he ignored the scarlet bug eye on his brow, his looks were not worse than an angel’s, and he could be called absolutely beautiful.

　　This is a genuine demon …… but a four winged high level demon.

　　The appearance of this demon seemed to be some sort of ominous omen, and Lin Qiye raised his head to look at the sky, only to see dozens of four winged demons one after another hurtling from afar, hovering under the deep red sky dome.

　　Each and every one of them exuded the aura of a peak “Klein” realm.

　　Not only that, above them, two blazing angels with six snow-white wings and three fallen angels with six pitch-black wings were stepping into the air.

　　Their bodies were covered in wounds, and there was a small red worm wriggling in their wounds, their eyes were tightly closed, with only the large worm eye slightly rotating as they looked down at Lin Qiye and the others, as if they were looking at a group of weak ants.

　　”The troublesome guy is here ……,” Lin Qiye said through clenched teeth as he resisted the horrifying sense of oppression.

　　Bang–!

　　A dull sound came from behind him and Lin Qiye turned his head to look.

　　He only saw Shen Qingzhu’s body being slapped off the clouds by two four-winged demons and smashed into the ground next to the blood pool, instantly smashing the ground with a hideous crack.

　　Shen Qingzhu violently sprayed out a mouthful of blood, and two hideous wounds had surfaced on his arms and waist and abdomen.
