The sharp broken rod pierced the monster's brain, erasing all its life, but even so, its momentum still persisted.Its massive body, like a cannonball, crashed down, knocking Lin Qiye to the ground, who had been holding the broken rod in front of him.In the end, Lin Qiye was able to kill this monster purely because of his abnormal dynamic vision and the divine power of the Seraphim. His physical strength had not been enhanced, and this monster easily weighed over two hundred kilograms. With his current strength, he could never escape in a short time.Moreover, right after Lin Qiye used the Seraphim's divine power, he felt as though he had been drained of energy, his body devoid of strength, and he even felt dizzy.At that moment, the second monster, which had been hiding at a distance, moved.The second hunter, lurking in the shadows, finally revealed its vicious fangs!It moved rapidly on all fours, darting through the flickering dim streetlights, its shadow swaying like a ghost, with a blood-red tongue writhing unnaturally.Lin Qiye could see its movements, but now he was in no condition to evade. He could only watch as the dense fangs rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes!In the instant the monster was only two meters away from him, Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted!Within his sensory range, something faster than the monster was rapidly approaching!It seemed… to be a person?A real person.Whoosh—!Lin Qiye only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a figure dropped from the night sky, landing firmly on the ground, the strong wind it generated lifting its dark red cloak and revealing the side face of a middle-aged man.He wasn't handsome, nor was he ugly—just an average-looking guy you'd encounter on the street. The kind of person you would subconsciously overlook.But the murderous intent in his eyes shone like a glaring blade!He crouched slightly, his gaze locked onto the monster, now less than a meter away, his right hand firmly gripping the hilt of the sword behind him."Shing—!"A crisp sound rang as the blade was drawn from its scabbard, the faint blue blade reflecting the dim moonlight, cutting through the heavy air, and silently slashing forward!It was an unadorned straight sword!The sword's blade curved like a crescent moon as it collided with the monster's claws, sparking a series of sparks.Zhao Kongcheng let out a low growl, his muscles tensing, and he suddenly took a half-step forward!The monster, whose size was comparable to a grizzly bear, was actually forced back several steps!Lin Qiye's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had fought this monster before and knew exactly how terrifying its strength was, yet this man in front of him had actually been able to push it back?Who exactly was he?After forcing the monster back several steps, Zhao Kongcheng moved in a unique manner, almost sticking to the monster's front, his hand with the straight sword slashing repeatedly, leaving a series of deep, bloody gashes on its body!The monster screamed in pain, glaring at Zhao Kongcheng with venomous eyes. Its long, spear-like front limbs rose, attempting to kill this annoying human before it.However, two sword beams flashed, and its front limbs were severed in an instant!Before the monster could scream, a chilling gleam flashed in Zhao Kongcheng's eyes, and his straight sword, like lightning, slashed across its neck!The faint blue blade easily cut through the monster's flesh, and the next moment, its head was tossed high into the air…It rolled to the ground."Click—!"The straight sword returned to its scabbard, the dark red cloak now splattered with the monster's blood, though the color was so similar to that of the cloak that it was almost undetectable unless looked at closely.Zhao Kongcheng didn't even glance at the monster's corpse, unhurriedly taking out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it, and taking a deep drag before pulling out his walkie-talkie."The two Ghost-Faced Men are cleared, send the cleanup crew."After speaking, he put the walkie-talkie away and walked over to Lin Qiye, who had just struggled to get free.Lin Qiye just quietly watched him, and Zhao Kongcheng silently stared back.In the moonlight, next to the pool of blood, the two men just stood there, silently observing each other…After a long while, Zhao Kongcheng finally couldn't help but speak first:"Was I handsome just now?"Lin Qiye:…Lin Qiye stared at his eyes for a moment, realizing he was dead serious, and could only answer in a low voice: "Handsome.""That's more like it." Zhao Kongcheng grinned, "Do you want to be as handsome as me?""No, thanks.""…" Zhao Kongcheng twitched his mouth slightly, "Why not?""Because it's dangerous."Lin Qiye's expression was extremely serious.Zhao Kongcheng was momentarily speechless. "But you saw it just now, you have the supernatural powers that most people can only dream of. Don't you want to be a superhero like in the movies?""No.""…Because it's dangerous?""Right."Zhao Kongcheng rubbed his eyes. The boy in front of him seemed a bit hard to handle, yet he had been dragged into this mess, and he possessed such immense power…"Alright then, this place isn't suitable for talking. Let's find another place to have a proper chat." Zhao Kongcheng thought for a moment and said, "By the way, my name is Zhao Kongcheng. I'm not a bad guy.""Lin Qiye." Lin Qiye blinked and nodded obediently, "I trust you. Wait here, I'll go get my backpack, my study materials are still inside.""…Go ahead." Zhao Kongcheng waved helplessly, walking to the side of the road to sit down, feeling a bit gloomy.If an ordinary person had gone through what just happened, they'd have been scared out of their wits, but this kid was still thinking about getting his study materials…The most important thing was… he had actually rejected him?Damn it, I used all my moves! Those several slashes earlier, they were just too smooth! I didn't even go this hard when I practiced with the captain!By the way, I still don't know how the captain's doing. The Ghost-Faced King is no joke…Zhao Kongcheng sat by the roadside without much care, smoking, lost in thought.Lost in thought…Hmm?Something didn't feel right?Zhao Kongcheng suddenly came back to his senses, paused for half a second, and then jumped to his feet, quickly scanning the area around him…Where the hell did that kid go!?Zhao Kongcheng stood there in a daze for several seconds, his mouth agape, unable to believe what had just happened."Damn it, this kid actually ran away?!"…"Bro, why are you home so late today?"Yang Jin looked at the exhausted Lin Qiye with a puzzled expression and asked, "Where's your guide stick?"Lin Qiye put on his slippers and forced a smile, "I ran into something on the way and accidentally lost it."To avoid Yang Jin seeing the bruise on his temple, Lin Qiye wrapped the remaining black satin around it, but the guide stick was indeed broken. Rather than bringing it back and making his family worry, he chose to simply throw it away."It's alright, just get a new one if you lost it… Is everything settled?""Yeah, it's settled."Xiao Hei Laichai ran over from the balcony, rubbing its belly against Lin Qiye's leg, then flopped onto the ground and exposed its belly.Lin Qiye helplessly squatted down, rubbing its belly as he asked, "Mom hasn't come back yet?""Mom's on the night shift, she won't be back until tomorrow morning.""Okay, has your homework been finished?""Almost.""Middle school really gives a lot of homework… It's so extreme." Lin Qiye stood up and muttered, then said to Yang Jin, "If you're tired, don't write it. If the teacher scolds you, tell me, I'll go talk to him."Yang Jin smiled and nodded, "I'll finish it soon."Lin Qiye nodded, "I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to sleep. You finish early and go to bed too.""Okay."Lin Qiye dragged his tired body into his room, about to close the door, when Yang Jin's voice came again."Bro… really, nothing happened?""It's nothing, go to bed early… By the way, the milk's in the fridge. If you wake up early tomorrow, heat it up yourself.""Got it, bro.""Good night.""Good night."The door softly closed. Yang Jin stood outside the room, silently watching Lin Qiye's door.Yang Jin gently rubbed Xiao Hei Laichai's head, "Did you feel it too?""Woof!"He looked up at the dim moonlight outside the window, muttering to himself:"There's… a smell of blood on him."
