Chapter 721: Calamity
You came?
How much bitterness and expectation lay behind the three simple words, only Jia Lan herself knew.
Over these years, she had fantasized countless times about seeing Lin Qiye again, and perhaps this present day scene, she had also dreamed about it one day, but she had dreamed such dreams too many times that she could no longer remember.
All she knew was that right now, it was as if her heart was about to beat out of her chest, the corners of her mouth were rising uncontrollably, and her tears were welling up in her eyes ……
She was so elated.
”Well, I’m coming.” Lin Qiye spoke gently, “Next, leave it to me.”
Roar roar roar–!
Below the black temple, a large number of demons saw Lin Qiye suddenly appear right above the “Origin” and immediately roared angrily at him, with some of them directly throwing away the Jia Lan trio and rushing towards Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye returned the [Rainbolt] to its sheath, and his right hand gently sank down to grip the [Duo Er].
Clang-!
The [Duo Er] was sheathed!
The moment the light purple blade sliced through the air, a wisp of ominous aura spread rapidly around the area with Lin Qiye at the center.
Rain poured on the ground, forming a puddle, and those demons roared as they rushed towards the black temple, when all of a sudden, some of them slipped on their feet and fell headfirst to the ground, tumbling for a while like a leather ball before crashing heavily into the surface of the black temple’s wall.
Coincidentally, the thick wall that had been in disrepair for years was broken by such a collision, and a large number of thick stones smashed down, shaking the earth slightly.
Rolls of smoke and dust tumbled through the curtain of rain.
This level of damage was not enough to kill these few demons, but it caused irreparable trauma to their psyche.
They stood up from the rubble in bewilderment, seemingly unable to comprehend at all how it was possible for their feet to slip, as they were the native Japanese demons!
Not only them, but the rest of those demons who had sprinted, also froze for a long while.
Lin Qiye, who was standing at the top of the black temple, raised an eyebrow, held [Duo Yu], and leapt up from the top of the temple, like a black butterfly in the rainy night, towards the group of demons that had fallen to the ground.
Creak-!
The moment Lin Qiye was about to land on the ground, his paws slipped on the puddle just as violently!
After losing his center of gravity, Lin Qiye’s figure stumbled, a flash of night flashed across his body, and the next moment his body appeared on the ground dozens of meters away.
The corners of Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly, and a cold sweat had broken out on his back.
So close!
Almost slipped in public!
If it wasn’t for the timely use of [Night Flicker], he probably would have fallen on his butt on the ground just like these demons, and then he wouldn’t have been far from embarrassing himself to the speed of light and escaping this universe.
He looked down at the [Dodo] in his hand, and finally realized what Amamiya Haruhide meant by “be careful”…….
It really is an indiscriminate attack!
Lin Qiye adjusted his mindset and sprinted towards the many demons like an arrow, he flipped his wrist and stabbed the blade of the [Duo Er] into the ground, a flash of purple ghostly light flashed and the earth shook violently!
This was one of the calamities triggered by the [Dui Yu], the earth’s crust crumbled.
The light purple blade slashed through the ground, and the earth underneath everyone’s feet fell apart amidst the violent vibrations, a deep, bottomless gully slicing apart the entire floor of the ruins, and a large number of demons fell directly into the depths of the earth’s crust due to their inability to dodge.
Lin Qiye carried his sword forward while carefully observing the ground under his feet with his spiritual power, fearing that a gully would also split under his feet and engulf him.
Among those demons, a portion of them directly lifted their wings and sped towards Lin Qiye, with flames, poisons, death qi, and cold ice …… all kinds of attacks flying out in an endless stream, sweeping like a wave.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed and his figure directly disappeared into the rain, the roiling attacks landed on the gully filled ground, but not the slightest bit could touch Lin Qiye himself.
Just as the many demons were frantically searching for his trail, a drop of rain in the sky naturally fell into the demons, and the curved surface of the drop of water reflected Lin Qiye’s silhouette as he gripped the hilt of the [Black Rope] with his left hand and swung the blade out in a flash!
Boom-!
A huge sharp black blade projection swept out from the raindrops, directly slicing open the heads of a large number of demons, while a portion of them escaped, only to be engulfed by the crustal gully that suddenly cracked open under their feet and fell directly into the ground.
Fresh blood mixed with the densely flowing rainwater, swooning above the earth filled with gullies.
The drops of rainwater fell to the ground and transformed into a black-clothed figure wearing the Monkey King’s mask, holding the [Black Rope] in his left hand and the [Duo Er] in his right hand, slowly sheathing his two swords amidst the demonic limbs that littered the ground.
This series of killing moves directly resolved nearly a third of the demons.
During this process, Lin Qiye did not utilize his own Forbidden Ruins because his own realm was actually not that high, and purely relying on the Forbidden Ruins to fight might not be able to crush these demons so powerfully, but if he used these three Banezu Knives, it would be a different story.
The banejin swords themselves possessed strong power, even if his realm wasn’t high enough, he could still exert amazing combat power, at that time, Yuzuri Kurotetsu was able to bring three swords to kill the [Pure Land], and now Lin Qiye was able to bring three swords to similarly kill a large swath of demons in seconds!
The Forbidden Ruins and Scourge of the Jin Swords, each had their own focus, just the timing and way of using them were different.
As the knight and Wu Xiangnan each held the rest of those demons, Lin Qiye turned around and landed his gaze on the snow maiden suspended in midair, his eyes narrowed slightly as a fierce killing intent flashed through them.
If he had come a little later just now, Caran would have been completely frozen by the snow woman, and although Caran possessed [Immortality] and wouldn’t die even if he was frozen for hundreds of years, this desperate loneliness of being confined was definitely not pleasant.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and stomped his right foot on the ground with great force, the green grass spread out to the surroundings at an astonishing speed, covering all the corpses of the demons.
A single demonic flower bloomed on top of the corpses, hungrily sucking the power and vitality within the corpses, and under the transformation of the [Eternal Secret Garden], a portion of it turned into pure spiritual energy that surged into Lin Qiye’s mind.
Ten seconds later, the verdant grass faded and all the demonic corpses that filled the ground disappeared, leaving only a single morose skeleton, soaked in rainwater.
Clang–!
With a clear sound, the [Rainbolt] and [Black Rope] were simultaneously held in Lin Qiye’s hands.
At the same time, a flash of extreme night extended out with him at the center, and his black trenchcoat hooked up with the darkness, as if he was cloaked in a pitch-black night sky.
