Chapter 193 "Night Watch Squad 136, Watchman Zhao Kongcheng!"
......
"Am I already dead? Is this the afterlife?"
Zhao Kongcheng groggily woke up from his unconsciousness, his head still very fuzzy. He subconsciously looked around slowly, muttering to himself.
When he tried to stand up, his movements were somewhat slow.
A medal slipped off his body with a crisp, melodious "ding" as it hit the ground. The sound echoed in the silent space, sounding particularly abrupt.
"What is this?" Zhao Kongcheng frowned slightly and bent down to pick up the medal.
Upon seeing the unique symbol on it, his eyes widened suddenly, and images from the past flashed through his mind like a movie. "Isn't this what Lei Yingdian gave me before my battle with Ghost Face King?"
As his perception deepened, and he carefully felt the close and subtle connection between the forbidden void [Empty Life Flash Moon] within his body and this medal, his previously chaotic thoughts instantly became clear.
He quickly pieced together the whole story in his mind.
"So...this thing saved me? I didn't actually die?"
Zhao Kongcheng was filled with amazement and doubt, his eyes fixed on the medal in his hand.
This medal has a unique shape, like a condensation of a dark blue lightning bolt. Its core shimmers with a leaping purple light, and its outer shell is a deep blue with delicate lightning patterns engraved on it.
As Zhao Kongcheng held the medal in his hand, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
He could clearly feel faint electric currents slowly coursing through his body. The elements on the medal were resonating with the elements in his body in a wonderful way, causing his body to tingle slightly, yet also giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort.
......
Meanwhile, outside the city.
When the battle between Kraken and Lin Qiye reached its climax.
The appearance of Lei's film instantly changed the entire battle situation.
The immense power of the Supreme God Realm left Kraken with absolutely no chance of resistance.
Kraken was completely powerless against every move in Ray's movie, and died instantly.
If it weren't for Nasita's sudden reminder in her mind that An Qingyu wanted the Kraken's corpse in front of her, the Kraken might have turned to ashes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Phoenix team was still engaged in a fierce battle with the vicious dog Gam.
The vicious dog Gam was enormous, like a moving black fortress. It exuded a chilling aura of evil, and every roar seemed to shatter the air and stir up gusts of wind.
"Whose subordinates are these?" Xia Simeng suddenly turned around in the midst of the fierce battle, looking at Lin Qiye and Lei Yingdian behind her, and shouted loudly.
Her face was filled with shock and confusion, and large beads of sweat slid down her cheeks, soaking her clothes.
"I know Lin Qiye, but who is this woman who suddenly appeared? That Kraken didn't even last three seconds against her!" Xia Simeng's voice was filled with anxiety, which was particularly clear in the tense atmosphere of the battle.
Kong Shang was no less shocked than Xia Simeng at this moment.
However, he was not the main fighting force in the confrontation just now.
So, at the moment Lei made his move, he caught a glimpse of that breathtaking scene out of the corner of his eye.
"Judging from her attack style, it seems very similar to Lei Yingdian, one of our targets in Cangnan City," Kong Shang said loudly while dodging the attacks of the vicious dog Gam.
"Perhaps... we can stop using the [Ghostly Guidance]? The turning point has arrived."
"Really?" Upon hearing Kong Shang's words, Xia Simeng's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
“That’s right…”
However, she calmed down after a short while and quickly analyzed the current situation in her mind.
With their current strength, they can only hold off one "Klein" level mythical creature; the other will have to be left to the team stationed in Cangnan City. They need to deal with the vicious dog Gam as quickly as possible, and then go help them...
However, the evil dog Gam, as the underworld guardian who was about to become a god, was far more powerful than they imagined.
Although the Phoenix team fought hard, it was no easy task to eliminate them in a short time.
If they cannot deal with the vicious dog Gam in a short time, and Kraken escapes on the other side, they will have no chance of winning against these two powerful enemies, and Cangnan City will inevitably fall into an abyss.
But now, Kraken has been dealt with so easily by Ray's movies.
Xia Simeng quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, a resolute look appearing in her eyes. She gripped her weapon tightly and shouted:
"Brothers! In order not to be looked down upon by our comrades, are you confident that you can take down the vicious dog Gam in a short time?!"
"Yes!" the members of the Phoenix team shouted in unison.
"Alright, in that case." Xia Simeng looked up at the fierce-looking Gam in front of her, her eyes revealing no fear, and shouted loudly, "[Phoenix] Squad!"
"Here!!!" came the team members' response.
"Would you like to join me in killing this vicious dog, Gam?"
"We are willing!" the crowd's voices rang out once more.
After saying that, the eight people flew in unison toward Gam, trying to surround him from all directions.
However, unsurprisingly, the unexpected still happened.
A powerful, resonant voice, like a booming bell, echoed from the direction of Cangnan City...
"I, Zhao Kongcheng, am back!!"
The sound seemed to carry boundless power, accompanied by deafening thunder, sweeping in like a surging wave. It stirred up a tremendous air current, causing trees to sway and dust to fly wherever it went.
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lei Yingdian beside him, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion. "Sister Ying, this... voice?"
The voice, the tone, and the information contained in those words stirred up a storm in his heart, making him almost unable to believe it was real.
Zhao Kongcheng?
Isn't he already dead?
Why...
Lei Yingdong turned his head slightly, looking thoughtfully at the sky, nodded gently, and said calmly, "Just as you thought, it's him."
"But...Zhao Kongcheng is already dead, isn't he?" Lin Qiye's voice trembled, as if his long-held beliefs had crumbled in an instant. It was precisely because of Zhao Kongcheng that he had decided to join the Night Watch...
But now, Zhao Kongcheng is still alive.
Then what about all his hard work and dedication along the way?
Should he be happy or...?
What does his behavior even mean?
The clown, huh?
"Stay calm!" Lei Yingdong keenly noticed Lin Qiye's unusual behavior and immediately reminded him.
Her voice was like a calm barrier, bringing a sense of peace to Lin Qiye's chaotic heart.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Seeing that Lin Qiye still looked somewhat confused, Lei Yingdian patiently comforted him, "Think about it carefully. In the past year since you became a Night Watchman, have you ever regretted it?"
"I have never regretted it." Lin Qiye's answer was resolute, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Did you become a night watchman to help Zhao Kongcheng?"
"No." Lin Qiye shook his head slightly, his voice not loud, but full of strength.
"That settles it then. What are you still hesitating about? What are you wavering about? Zhao Kongcheng was able to come back to life because of his own efforts..." Lei Yingdong explained slowly, seeing that the situation was temporarily stable and it wasn't his turn to intervene again.
"At first, I only gave him a dim Eye of God, but if he hadn't activated it himself and kept him alive by it... he would really be dead by now."
"Now that my strength has been temporarily restored... the Eye of God on his body has also regained its original power."
After hearing Lei's words, the gloom in Lin Qiye's heart gradually dissipated.
That's right, I was just getting stuck on one thing.
At this moment, Zhao Kongcheng, enveloped in powerful lightning, rapidly approached the battlefield.
The Eye of God was pinned to his chest, shimmering with a pale purple light that echoed the lightning surrounding him, making him appear as if he were the embodiment of lightning.
"You all step back, leave this beast to me. It's my duty to protect Cangnan City," Zhao Kongcheng shouted to the Phoenix Squad, his voice brimming with confidence. "Perfect timing to test my current strength and see what level I'm at."
Xia Simeng looked at the unshaven man in front of her, whose eyes were incredibly resolute, and her heart was filled with vigilance and doubt. She cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
"Zhao Kongcheng, the Watchman of the 136th Squad, the Night Watchman stationed in Cangnan City of the Great Xia!" Zhao Kongcheng responded loudly.
Watchmen?
Aren't the Watchers usually the weaker members of the garrison squad? In most battles, all they need to do is place [Unbound Skies].
He said he was a watchman?
"Hey, excuse me. I didn't bring my Star Blade. Could I borrow yours?" Zhao Kongcheng's voice suddenly rang out beside him again.
She had no idea that Zhao Kongcheng might try to attack her now.
Even if she doesn't die, she'll be seriously injured...
She instinctively handed over the Star Blade.
Zhao Kongcheng accepted it without hesitation, saying, "Thanks!"
After saying that, he flew towards the vicious dog Gam again.
"You beast! It's time to show you what your Grandpa Zhao is all about!"
