On Gu Yan's side, he let out a light chuckle. His goal was about to be achieved—now, all he needed to do was descend and create the illusion of annihilating everyone below. Then, he would deliberately wait for Leng Qingqiu to arrive... Huh? Wait... What...?
Why is my body suddenly going weak?
And... why is the energy sphere at the tip of my sword shrinking?!
Gu Yan gradually snapped back to reality, staring in disbelief.
Had he... lost his powers?! What the—?!
He quickly turned his head and saw Leng Qingqiu gripping his arm.
No way!! Physical contact drains my cultivation?! What kind of overpowered setting is this?! And now, of all times—are we in some kind of comedy novel?!
"Let... let go of me."
Gu Yan struggled to keep his voice cold and composed.
"No!"
Leng Qingqiu held onto him tightly, unaware that he had lost his strength and was relying entirely on her grip to stay upright.
"...Leng Qingqiu, let go of me now!"
"Not a chance! I won’t let you kill all those people down there! You’re out of your mind!"
"You—!"
Gu Yan was furious. If this dragged on any longer, dawn would break, and he’d lose his tenfold power boost.
If that happened, escape would be impossible. Leng Qingqiu wouldn’t kill him now, but if his identity were exposed, all his efforts would be for nothing!
Then—
Boom!
A surge of icy energy and spatial distortion erupted.
Its target? Leng Qingqiu.
"!!"
Still gripping Gu Yan’s arm, Leng Qingqiu moved to block it.
But the spatial distortion suddenly shifted beside Gu Yan, and a hand reached out, yanking him away.
The space began to collapse—if she didn’t let go, half of Gu Yan’s body would be severed.
Reluctantly, Leng Qingqiu released him, watching as he was pulled into the spatial rift.
She turned to face the attacker.
There,
stood a figure clad in white robes, wearing a pure white mask.
Their aura... bore an uncanny resemblance to her own.
Then—hum!
A black hole appeared beside the figure.
Gu Yan stepped out, flanked by a timid, masked woman.
"Um... s-sorry."
You Xingxue avoided Leng Qingqiu’s gaze—she knew Leng Qingqiu was Gu Yan’s wife.
"?"
Leng Qingqiu immediately recognized her. She was one of the talents she had recruited back when she was the Night King.
But why was she with Gu Yan now?
Leng Qingqiu glanced at Gu Yan, now in his Night King form, then at the two women beside him.
Then she recalled Gu Yan’s earlier murderous intent toward her.
In an instant—
Boom!!!
Twenty-six psychic blades materialized behind Leng Qingqiu.
Her frosty gaze swept over the two women flanking Gu Yan. "And who are you?" she demanded, her voice icy.
With his original plan disrupted, Gu Yan had no choice but to switch to Plan B.
"Move!" he barked.
In a flash,
Leng Bingning grabbed You Xingxue and vanished into the spatial rift.
Watching this, Leng Qingqiu trembled with rage. Oh, really?!
You treat me like this, but put on a different face for two strangers?!
Fine then!
You’ve left me no choice!
"You think you can just run?" Leng Qingqiu raised her hand coldly. Thud! Thud!
Two muffled groans echoed from the void.
Since they were Gu Yan’s people, Leng Qingqiu held back—just enough to leave them severely injured.
Gu Yan’s lips twitched. No more delays—it was time to end this.
With that thought,
he bolted downward.
Leng Qingqiu’s eyes narrowed. Swish!
"Don’t even think about it!"
Several psychic blades shot after him.
Gu Yan focused his will—boom!
The dark clouds parted,
revealing the two figures to the world below.
The commotion drew everyone’s attention.
"My lord!"
"Director Leng!"
Heads snapped upward.
The two factions reacted differently.
Leng Qingqiu stood coldly, dozens of psychic blades hovering behind her, while a few more pursued the fleeing figure.
In contrast, the Night King looked disheveled, clutching his abdomen. A closer look revealed blood seeping through his fingers—clearly wounded by Leng Qingqiu!
Leng Qingqiu frowned. When had Gu Yan gotten hurt?
Gu Yan, meanwhile, pressed a hand to his self-inflicted wound while conjuring a black dagger in the other.
His voice dripped with feigned bitterness. "Hahaha! Well done, Leng Qingqiu! You’ve broken through to the Post-Celestial Realm! But even if I can’t kill you today..."
"I can still take one of you with me!!!!"
With that,
he tightened his grip on the dagger, his body enveloped in the Power of Night, flickering through the darkness like a shadow.
Wherever he passed, countless fine black needles—condensed from the Power of Night—rained down on the martial artists.
"Argh!! Director Leng, save us!"
"My lord, help!"
Pale-faced, the crowd panicked.
Leng Qingqiu summoned more psychic blades to block the attack, cursing inwardly. This bastard—is he really trying to kill them all?
Then—hum!
In the next flicker,
the Night King reappeared—right behind Long Tianyuan, the current leader of the Martial Alliance!
Everyone’s faces drained of color.
"Director!"
"Director, look out!"
Long Tianyuan, fresh from battling shadow creatures, suddenly sensed danger. Instinctively, he raised an arm to block.
But—
"Ghk?!"
Squelch!!!
The dagger pierced clean through his palm—then continued straight through his skull.
In the blink of an eye, Long Tianyuan dissolved into a pool of blood, vanishing from existence.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
It had happened too fast.
"Director!!"
"Director Long!!"
Before anyone could mourn Long Tianyuan’s death,
the first rays of dawn broke over the horizon.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Having received the retreat signal long ago, the Night Organization’s members swiftly activated spatial rifts and vanished.
As for Gu Yan, he played his part to the end—clutching his "wound" as he disappeared into a black hole.
His parting words dripped with mockery: "Leng Qingqiu! You’re strong, I’ll give you that! This round goes to you—but next time, I’ll bring the Martial Alliance a little... surprise! Stay tuned!!!!"
Swish!
The Night Organization was gone.
The Martial Alliance had no time to chase. They rushed to the pool of blood that was once Long Tianyuan, praying it was just an illusion.
But reality was cruel. Long Tianyuan—their leader—was truly dead.
Reduced to a puddle of blood.
Leng Qingqiu landed softly, scanning the casualty reports. To her surprise...
Aside from Long Tianyuan, no one else had died. Just injuries—some minor, some severe.
She clenched her fists... Gu Yan's threatening words flashed through her mind.
Gu Yan, just what are you trying to do?
And...
What exactly is your relationship with those two vixens?!
Leng Qingqiu's expression turned icy, brimming with killing intent.
Those who witnessed it couldn't help but sigh softly.
Minister Leng must still be grieving over Long Tianyuan's death!
Yet, she managed to severely wound the Night King.
From the looks of it, from now on... they would all have to rely on Leng Qingqiu!!
