Zhao Kongcheng was puzzled.
With such heavy rain, what's this kid doing out for a stroll? And I've already activated the [Boundless Void], how did he know I was here?
And of all times, he had to come, right when I was being beaten and pinned to the ground. What if he saw that...?
How embarrassing!!
Moreover, he had just said that he would entrust the protection of the world to him. If he were to drag Lin Qiye into this now, and something happened to the kid, Zhao Kongcheng would never forgive him for the rest of his life.
"What business is it of yours why I came out? I know you were fighting with that masked guy inside. Let me in. I'm pretty good at fighting now." Lin Qiye's voice came from outside again.
"You're nothing!" Zhao Kongcheng cursed. "This isn't a masked man, it's the Masked King! He's at the 'Chuan' Realm! He's two whole realms higher than you, a brat who just entered the 'Zhan' Realm! How do you think a high school student like you can fight him?"
"Besides, aren't you always afraid of dying? Why are you so recklessly pushing forward now?"
"Hurry your ass home and eat! I'm laying it out here today, with me, Zhao Kongcheng, here, this thing won't harm a single hair on your family!"
"Times have changed. Although I'm afraid of death, I can't stand owing favors!" Lin Qiye shouted from outside.
"Our family is having a happy meal inside, while you're all here fighting Ghost Face King? You want to be an unsung hero? I won't allow it!"
"If we eat, we'll eat together after killing the Ghost Face King, you and me!"
Lin Qiye rammed into the air next to the notice board with all his might, but it was as if there was an invisible barrier that directly separated the inside from the outside of the domain. No matter how hard Lin Qiye tried, it remained unmoved.
Within the domain, Zhao Kongcheng was once again sent flying by the Ghost-Faced King, and lay paralyzed on the ground for a long time before he could barely prop himself up with his sword.
"Don't bother... cough cough, although I don't have a cultivation level, my [Boundless Void] is more than enough to block those below the 'Pool' realm. There are only two possibilities if you want to enter here..."
"Either I let you in, or... Either... I'll just have to wait for myself to die."
"You can't even break through my [Boundless Void], so coming here to face the Ghost-Faced King is no different from suicide."
Zhao Kongcheng stared intently at the Ghost-Faced King, his voice growing increasingly weak.
After he finished speaking, the commotion outside the domain disappeared. No one continued to attack [Boundless Void], and no other sounds came.
Zhao Kongcheng waited for one second, two seconds, three seconds...
A smile appeared on his lips.
"That's more like it... Go home and eat your dinner, and leave the rest to us on the Night's Watch..."
Zhao Kongcheng struggled to stand up, panting heavily. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, and with each breath, the excruciating pain made his body tremble slightly.
His body had reached its limit.In front of him, the Ghost-Faced King stood like a small mountain in the rain, covered in wounds, both old and new.
Yet it remained vigorous and showed no sign of collapsing; this was the abnormal constitution of a mythical creature.
Zhao Kongcheng held the knife in one hand, and with the other hand trembling, he reached into his pocket. After a moment, he pulled out a badge.
The coat of arms features two crossed straight swords, and below them is a name.
Zhao Kongcheng.
In a trance, Zhao Kongcheng felt as if he was back when he first joined the Night Watchers, still a raw new recruit.
"...The emblem is the life of a Night Watcher!Not only in faith, but also in battle!
On the inner side of this emblem, a small needle is embedded. Just press the switch, and it will pop out. The tip of the needle is coated with a drug called 'Ghost God Guide'.
When this drug is injected into the body, it will burn all of a person's potential in a short time, greatly enhancing the power of the Forbidden Ruin for those who already possess one!
This is a means of mutual destruction, a means of turning the tide in a desperate situation, and also the only chance in a lifetime for those warriors without forbidden realms to experience their own forbidden realms.
"Should not be used unless absolutely necessary..."
Zhao Kongcheng gripped the emblem, his body swaying uncontrollably. As he watched the approaching Ghost-Faced King, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Do you know... how long I've waited for this day?"
The heavy rain poured down!
Rainwater mixed with blood dripped down Zhao Kongcheng's arm and onto the surface of the emblem.
Zhao Kongcheng didn't care whether the Ghost-Faced King could hear him or understand him; he muttered to himself in the rain:
"Men always yearn for supernatural powers, dreaming that one day they too can soar to the heavens and dive into the earth, split mountains with a single punch, and overturn clouds with a single thought..."
"Having been a Night's Watchman for so many years, I've been waiting for my own Forbidden Ruins to awaken, but unfortunately, I'm already over forty and still haven't seen them."
"Honestly, it's really tough to survive in the Night's Watch without the Forbidden Ruins. Every time I see the captain and the others using the Forbidden Ruins in battle, looking incredibly cool, I always feel a pang of envy..."
"Later, I thought that if I ever encountered an enemy I could never defeat, I must try the 'Ghost God Guidance' before I die, to see my own forbidden realm, so that even if I die, I can die with a smile."
"Anyway, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Zhao Kongcheng opened his palm, letting the rain wash over the surface of the emblem. He gently rubbed his fingers on the side of the emblem, and a thin silver needle sprang out.
He took a deep breath.
He pierced his palm with a silver needle...
"Damn, it hurts a bit..." Zhao Kongcheng grimaced and cursed under his breath.
The moment the silver needle pierced his skin, Zhao Kongcheng felt the intense pain recede like a tide, and an unprecedented sense of power surged into his heart.
His entire body seemed to be on drugs, displaying unprecedented vitality. His heart was like a war drum beating between two armies on the battlefield, fast and powerful!
At the same time, a mysterious force field radiated outwards from Zhao Kongcheng.
Zhao Kongcheng's eyes lit up.
The Ghost-Faced King seemed to sense the danger. He let out a low roar and his feet flew through the rain, propelling him forward with terrifying kinetic energy!
Zhao Kongcheng gradually straightened his back.The hand gripping the knife tightened its hold.
Raindrops pattered on the surface of the straight blade, making a soft, tinkling sound.
He gripped the knife in the rain, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented sharpness!
So he raised his hand.
Approaching the rapidly approaching Ghost King,A single slash was delivered from afar.
A black crescent moon, four or five meters high, slashed out from the blade, silently cutting through the rain and instantly piercing the space in front of the two.
The crescent moon was so fast that even the Ghost-Faced King didn't have time to turn around!
Then, a mutilated, grotesque arm was tossed high into the air.
With a single strike, he severed one of the Ghost-Faced King's arms.
Zhao Kongcheng gripped the knife, a smirk uncontrollably creeping onto his lips…
He laughed loudly, looking up at the sky:
"Forbidden Ruin Sequence 083, [Annihilation Flash Moon]!
Hahaha, I knew it! I, Zhao Kongcheng... am a fucking genius too!!
