Chapter 6 Home Visit, Ghost-Faced King Appears!
Li Jie closed the door and returned to the living room.
Just then, I saw Old Zhao humming a tune as he pushed open the door and went out.
It seems they went to Lin Qiye's house for a 'home visit'.
Li Jie walked outside, glanced at Lao Zhao driving away, and then looked at the dark, overcast sky.
It looks like it's going to rain... Oh well, there's still plenty of time, I'll set off later.
He wasn't worried about not being able to find Zhao Kongcheng; the red barrier of the 'Boundless Void' was still quite obvious.
Wherever the barrier appears, Old Zhao will be there.
But then again, if we save Lao Zhao's life, can we then try to get something from Captain Chen?
Is it too much to ask for prohibited items?
In front of the unit entrance of a small, old residential building.
Zhao Kongcheng opened the car door, got out, checked the address, and strode confidently into the building.
Today, I must bring that brat back!
.........
In the rainy night, the old alley was deserted.
Li Jie, holding an umbrella, walked slowly through the heavy rain. He looked around at the unchanged scene and sighed.
Has the 'Boundless Airspace' not opened yet? Looks like we've arrived too early...
He didn't walk fast, but was carefully sensing the movements around him.
Aside from the sound of raindrops falling on the ground, all I could hear was the rushing sound of water flowing into the sewer.
A short while later, an old black sedan sped past him.
Screech! The intense screeching of tires came from behind.
All that could be seen was Old Zhao, his expression grave, wearing a headset, carrying the Star Blade and a briefcase, running towards Li Jie.
The rain was too loud, and he couldn't hear what Zhao Kongcheng was saying, but he could vaguely see his angry expression through the rain.
Without needing an explanation, he could roughly guess that Wu Xiangnan had already discovered the whereabouts of the masked man, but he was still unsure whether the masked king was in the old or new city area.
Because Zhao Kongcheng was closer to the old city, Chen Muye arranged for him to come here first to evacuate civilians and set up the [Boundless Airspace] in advance.
With a furrowed brow, he ran swiftly forward through the wind and rain, disappearing from Li Jie's sight in just a few breaths.
They're running really fast. Looks like they're over there...
He lifted the umbrella, revealing a youthful face, his eyes flashing with a sword-like light.
He followed Zhao Kongcheng's departing figure, lifted his foot, and slowly followed after him.
..........
“Huh…Huh…”
Gradually, the familiar smell of blood and stench wafted from the sewer.
Zhao Kongcheng stopped in his tracks, wary.
Thump! Thump! Heavy footsteps echoed from the sewers.
He looked in the direction the sound came from and saw the manhole cover on the ground trembling slightly. He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and then took out his walkie-talkie to report.
"Report! Watcher Zhao Kongcheng has spotted what appears to be the Ghost-Faced King's trail. Requesting... backup..."
"Roger that! Old Zhao, try to avoid a direct confrontation with the Ghost-Faced King. He's a powerful and mysterious figure from the 'Chuan' realm. Once you've set up the 'Boundless Void,' evacuate immediately!"
Zhao Kongcheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, took out the notice board from his briefcase, and stuck it on the ground.
"Sigh... 'Boundless Void' can't stop Ghost Face King. If I leave, what will happen to the residents of the old city?"
"Old Zhao! I order you to evacuate immediately! There aren't many civilians in the old city; don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"
He watched the manhole cover tremble more and more violently and flicked the cigarette butt away from his hand.
"Captain, have you forgotten the oath we took when we joined the Night's Watch?"
"what?"
"If darkness comes to pass, I will stand before millions..."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on his shoulder and slowly drew the Star Blade.
"Sword drawn against the abyss...blood stains...the sky!"
Clang! As soon as the words fell, the Star Blade was fully drawn, flashing with cold light in the night sky where lightning streaked across the sky!
"Old Zhao! Don't do anything foolish! Old Zhao..."
Zhao Kongcheng turned off the walkie-talkie and grinned as he looked at the manhole cover that had suddenly been shaken off.
Although I don't have millions of people behind me this time, I do have that child's whole world!
Ghost Face King, huh? This time, I'm going to hit the jackpot!
Bang!
As the manhole cover fell to the ground, a gigantic monster with a long, scarlet tongue crawled out of the sewer. It was enormous and covered in wounds.
Looks like this is the Ghost King that seriously injured the captain. Hehe, if I wipe him out... I'll definitely be promoted to general!
In the heavy rain, two black figures moved simultaneously.
Zhao Kongcheng swiftly swung his sword, striking Ghost Face King in the back.
Clang! Sparks flew! His charged strike did not cause any damage to the Ghost-Faced King's steel-like body.
Damn, this piece of junk is really sturdy!
.........
Li Jie, who was following behind Zhao Kongcheng, saw the red barrier that suddenly rose in front of him and understood that he had discovered the Ghost-Faced King.
When he arrived at the street where the sign for 'Boundless Airspace' was placed.
I didn't notice anything different about the streets here compared to usual.
He reached out and touched it, discovering an invisible barrier separating him from it.
Just as he was figuring out how to enter the 'Boundless Void', Lin Qiye ran over from the other side of the street.
When Lin Qiye came to Li Jie's side, he anxiously asked.
Where is Zhao Kongcheng?
Li Jie calmly replied to the panting Lin Qiye.
"It should be inside the barrier."
"What is he doing?"
"They're probably fighting the leader of that bunch of grotesque monsters."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye became even more anxious. He reached out and pounded hard on the barrier wall.
"Zhao Kongcheng! Let me in! I'm a very capable fighter now!"
"Huff...huff...what's the point of even farting? Get the hell home right now!"
Seeing that Old Zhao remained unmoved, Lin Qiye's heart tightened, golden light rose in his eyes, and a faint divine power swirled around him.
Under Michael's divine power, a corner of the 'Boundless Void' notice board emitted a strange fluctuation, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Cough...cough...don't bother."
Old Zhao barely managed to withstand the Ghost-Faced King's attack, and feeling the fluctuations emanating from the barrier wall, he said softly.
"The 'Boundless Void' can block everyone below the 'Pool' realm. There are only two ways to get in."
"Either I let you in, or I'll die!"
Ding! Hearing the metallic clanging sound that accompanied Zhao Kongcheng's words, Li Jie felt that the battle was probably over. If they continued fighting, Old Zhao would probably be finished.
He looked at the red barrier in front of him, calmed his mind, and felt the aura emanating from the 'Boundless Void Domain', with a sword light seemingly flowing in his eyes.
A warm current flowed through his meridians, and his aura rose steadily.
He extended two fingers, forming a sword shape, and slashed across the thick barrier wall, tearing open the enclosed space out of thin air.
So that's how it is... Li Jie looked at the rising sword intent in his hand and understood.
So, even a casual strike from me already possesses the attack power of the 'Pool' realm?
As the barrier tore apart, the scene of Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King battling appeared before their eyes.
Lin Qiye looked at Li Jie, who casually broke through the 'Boundless Void', and his surprise grew even stronger.
I've already used every means possible to barely affect this barrier.
Why was he able to so casually delineate the 'boundless airspace'...?
Zhao Kongcheng was startled when he saw the two who suddenly barged in. How could it be that these two greenhorns could break through the blockade of the 'Boundless Void'?
Damn it! What are you doing here? This is the Ghost-Faced King of the 'Chuan' Realm!
Are you all rushing here to die?!
