Chapter 1 The Beginning

The moment the gunshot rang out, the guests in the hall ducked down, covering their heads, while the women screamed, creating a scene of utter chaos.

After Zhang Yuanqing shouted, "Get out of the casino," the frightened and uneasy guests and women rushed towards the casino doors without hesitation, eager to distance themselves from the trouble. Zhang Yuanqing's clearing-the-scene maneuver was remarkably effective.

"They're here, and one of them is a fellow Night Watcher!"

Qing Song and Seven Blades felt a chill in their hearts. Both Enchantment Yaos and Night Watchers were apex professions in terms of combat power. In situations of equal level, setting aside items, the individual combat power of ordinary professions was vastly different from that of apex professions.

Three against two. Although they had the advantage in numbers, their chances of winning weren't high. Kagura glanced at his teammates and said calmly:

"Don't worry, this is our turf. The trump card I brought from my family is enough to deal with them." Hearing this, Qing Song and Seven Blades relaxed slightly, their confidence returning.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's gaze swept over the crowd of people fleeing in panic and landed on the gambling table by the window. He immediately recognized Wu Ye, with the mole on his cheek, and the three Spirit Realm Walkers. He needed to take them out as quickly as possible. Zhang Yuanqing turned the gun and aimed at the musician.

Of the three, the musician had the worst physical attributes and leaned towards support. He could also launch effective mental attacks against spiritual bodies, posing the greatest threat to Night Watchers. Just then, Zhang Yuanqing saw a half-naked woman with a terrified expression suddenly pull a dagger from her skirt and lunge at him with a ferocious look. "Huh?" Although surprised, Zhang Yuanqing reacted quickly, chopping the attacker unconscious with a hand.

However, more attackers appeared. A guest who was running away suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger at Zhang Yuanqing. A woman in a low-cut dress opened a folding knife and, holding it with both hands, crashed into Kou Bei Yue.

Further away, several guests in shirts grabbed shotguns hidden under the gambling machines and, without a word, unleashed a barrage of bullets at the two intruders.

The sudden turn of events caught Zhang Yuanqing and Kou Bei Yue off guard, forcing them to interrupt their advance towards the gambling table and their shooting, dodging the dangers coming from the crowd. Kou Bei Yue kicked the woman away and then waved his army knife, deflecting two bullets. With two "dings," sparks flew, and the bullets embedded themselves in the wall and ceiling.

"They've planted assassins among the guests?" Zhang Yuanqing ducked and dodged the gunfire. Just as he was about to shoot the ordinary killers, he noticed something wrong with their expressions.

Those distorted, hateful faces, those eyes that couldn't wait to skin and dismember him and Kou Bei Yue – something was very wrong. "Musician?" The musician profession's skills flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind, locking onto one skill – Hypnotism!

The core skill of a Level 3 Musician!

"They've hypnotized the casino guests, using ordinary people as guns, trying to make us hesitate and take a passive beating. But if we retaliate fiercely, the deaths of ordinary people will deduct our morality points. Of course, the Musician will suffer too – killing one thousand enemies, but sacrificing eight hundred of your own."

Zhang Yuanqing quickly analyzed the other party's malicious intentions.

Seeing that the two enemies' rhythm had been disrupted by the pre-arranged measures, Kagura, with his dyed yellow hair, revealed a triumphant smile. The short, stocky Seven Blades grunted and immediately swung his arm, throwing a ball of fire. At the same time, high flames burst from his body.

The scorching fireball landed beside Kou Bei Yue and suddenly expanded. Seven Blades' figure leaped out of the fire, his right fist thrusting out like a spear. On the other side, the handsome, effeminate youth with dyed yellow hair placed his hand against his lips and blew out a soothing lullaby.

The melody was melodious, soothing, like a mother gently humming a lullaby, bringing a strong sense of sleepiness and peace from the heart. Kou Bei Yue and Lei Bian Yue's pupils were slightly dull, half-asleep, half-awake.

The tacit cooperation of a Level 3 Musician and a Level 3 Fire Master instantly put Kou Bei Yue in danger. The ferocious straight punch pierced Kou Bei Yue's chest, but his body remained intact like a phantom.

This was just an illusion created by the Enchantment technique. Seven Blades had been affected by the enchantment the moment he leaped out of the flames.

Kou Bei Yue's real body appeared a few meters away, one hand holding the knife, the other reaching to his lower back, pressing the first button on the Cat King speaker. He was going to control the field!

In the next second, a deafening drumbeat came from the speaker, echoing in the hall, muffled, heavy, and majestic, reverberating throughout. Kagura's lullaby was immediately suppressed.

The guests who hadn't had time to escape were prostrate on the ground, trembling, including the hypnotized assassins, his teammate Lei Bian Yue, and the three Spirit Realm Walkers, feeling suffocated, a sense of fear and oppression welling up in their hearts for no reason, wishing they could flee this place.

Jie Wenchang raised his gun in the exclusive background music, aimed at Seven Blades a few meters away, and pulled the trigger.

On the other side, the horse-faced youth's expression turned fierce. He raised both palms and clapped them hard against his ears, shattering his eardrums, and the oppressive, terrifying drumbeat immediately disappeared. The world was silent. The horse-faced youth grabbed a vine whip and lashed it hard at the enemy who had raised his gun.

Bang bang!

The vine whip struck the enemy's arm, the muzzle went awry, and the bullet hit the wall behind Seven Blades, leaving two deep, cracked bullet holes. The horse-faced youth flicked his wrist, hooked the vine whip onto the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and swung gently, swinging towards Kou Bei Yue like an ape.

Seven Blades' forehead throbbed with veins as he endured the discomfort caused by the drumbeat. He took a heavy step with his right foot, and scorching flames spewed from his palm, condensing into a high-temperature long blade. Transforming fire into a weapon!

The long blade slashed upwards from below, aiming at Kou Bei Yue's chest and abdomen, not giving him a chance to shoot.

Kou Bei Yue dodged the flaming long blade. The high-temperature flames brushed past him, and he smelled the burning of his eyelashes and hair. "Bang!"

He crossed his arms over his chest, blocking the horse-faced youth's flying kick, staggering backwards.

At this time, Jie Wenyue was affected by the lullaby and the drumbeat, and his reaction was a beat slower, unable to come to the rescue in time.

"Seriously, with your level, how dare you say you're about the same as Li Xianzong? Li Xianzong is much stronger than you!" Jie Wenchang glanced at his teammate, who was suffering from mental exhaustion, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

On the gambling table, Kagura changed his gestures, imitating a microphone, covering his mouth, and performing a beatbox on the spot, muffled drumbeats coming from his tightly covered mouth. He was imitating the Cat King speaker's drumbeats, but unlike the former's shock and awe, Kagura's drumbeats had the power to inspire people.

Seven Blades and Qing Song suddenly breathed rapidly, their faces flushed, and they seemed to have taken stimulants, their aura plummeting. "Pa pa pa!"

The horse-faced youth waved the vine whip, lashing it down again and again, cracking the floor tiles, shattering the machines, and forcing Kou Bei Yue to dodge in a sorry state.

Seven Blades, relying on the Fire Master's violence, engaged in close combat, his fists wrapped in flames striking heavily, like raindrops, not giving the enemy a chance to adjust and counterattack. The two cooperated, one assisting, firmly suppressing the Level 3 Night Watcher.

Kou Bei Yue snorted coldly, enduring a punch from the Fire Master, seizing a brief moment to catch his breath, and raising his head in a long howl. A hazy moonlight pierced through the building, shining down, coating him with a layer of faint moonlight.

Jie Wenchang's pupils surged with blackness, covering the whites of his eyes, and his temperament became noble and evil.

Howling Moon!

Then, he reached behind him and pressed the second button on the Cat King speaker. The sound of a suona immediately rang out, its tone mournful and piercing.

Jie Wenchang's body suddenly swelled up, his muscles bulging, and his veins popping.

Dark night, Howling Moon, and the suona, the three combined, raised his aura to an extremely terrifying level. "Pa!"

The Fire Master's second punch followed closely, a very sinister and vicious hammer blow to the temple. Flames exploded, and blood oozed from Kou Bei Yue's seven orifices. This was a punch that could shatter brains.

Kou Bei Yue didn't move, revealing a cruel smile.

Seven Blades felt a chill in his heart and retreated decisively.

Jie Wenchang stomped his right foot, closing in even faster, his right hand forming a claw, gripping Seven Blades' neck, taking him a short distance, and then pressing down hard. Crack!

Seven Blades' back cracked the floor tiles.

Jie Wenchang knelt on one knee on his chest, straightened his back, raised his fist, and slammed down hard.

Amidst the muffled thud, there was the sound of facial bones, nasal bones, and teeth shattering. Seven Blades' legs twitched violently. Pa pa pa!

Qing Song's expression changed drastically. The vine whip lashed at the enemy again and again, tearing his clothes and leaving terrifying wounds where flesh was torn open. But these wounds healed quickly within two seconds.

Seeing this, Kagura at the gambling table immediately changed the rhythm, blowing the lullaby again, trying to soothe the enemy's fighting will.

Suddenly, he saw the originally dazed young man, crouching, holding his army knife, approaching silently and swiftly, like a hunting tiger. Kagura immediately stopped playing and rolled on the spot.

Crack!

The gambling table was kicked to pieces by the ferocious youth.

Hearing the sound of shattering behind him, Kagura broke out in a cold sweat. With a musician's close-combat ability, facing an Enchantment Yao of the same level, life and death would be decided within ten moves.

Bang bang bang! Muffled sounds rang out one after another. Kagura looked over and saw the ferocious Night Watcher pounding Seven Blades' face with heavy fists, smashing his skull, creating a bloody mess of red and white flesh.

Seven Blades' legs were spasming, and his head was a bloody pulp.

"He's dead just like that? A Level 3 Fire Master, dead just like that?" Kagura's face was ugly, severely stimulated. He unhesitatingly took out the pendant from his chest, a deep blue gemstone with fine electric snakes swimming inside.

He gently pinched it with two fingers, and the gemstone exploded with a "bang."

At this time, Lei Bian Yue had attacked from behind, the army knife stabbing inaccurately at the back of his heart. Zi zi!

Blinding electric snakes danced in the air, striking the army knife, striking Lei Bian Yue, and his body suddenly stiffened, his short hair standing on end. Kagura turned around abruptly, condensing a whip in his palm and lashing out with all his might.

A scarlet rune lit up in Lei Bian Yue's pupils.

3 Kagura's expression became dull.

Lei Bian Yue flicked his legs and thrust the army knife forward.

Seeing that the army knife was about to pierce the enemy's chest, Kagura suddenly transformed into a blinding flash of lightning, "splitting" into the vicinity, appearing six meters away. The long whip, though late, struck down.

Lei Bian Yue sluggishly fell to the side. Crackle!

The whip cracked on the ground with a crisp explosion.

Kagura's body floated into the air, his hair standing on end, and a lightning pattern was branded on his forehead, like a thunder god descending.

He indifferently waved the whip, forcing Lei Bian Yue to roll or jump, dodging in a sorry state, like a tamer teasing an untamed beast. "Hmph!" Kagura said coldly, "A mere Level 3 Enchantment Yao, daring to break into the dragon's pool and tiger's den, who gave you the guts!"

3 The disposable item he had just crushed came from a foreign profession. This profession's abilities were singular, but it had a siege technique that made other professions tremble in fear –

Thunder!

At the same time, singleness was also its price. After using the item, the Musician's skills could not be used. The level of this disposable item was Saint Realm, with an effective time of fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes was enough to kill two Level 3 Walkers or support until Chi Yue An arrived.

He had originally cherished this item, thinking that he would avoid using it if possible. Who knew that this little brat had actually invited a Level 3 Night Watcher to help, whose strength was extremely terrifying? In less than three minutes of fighting, he had killed Seven Blades.

He then looked at Kou Bei Yue and announced with a voice like divine decree: "You will also die."

Lei Bian Yue's expression was ugly. Although he had never seen such a means of manipulating lightning, this terrifying pressure and powerful lethality made it easy to guess that it was the power of a Saint.

He had thought that with himself, an Enchantment Yao, and Yuan Ting, this Night Watcher, they could easily wipe out the Bronze Sparrow Tower without any accidents. Who knew that the other side would have such a trump card.

"He's won again. Every action is the same. I'm really unlucky!" He was frustrated and angry, believing that fate was working against him. "Why does God repeatedly favor the wicked?"

Lei Bian Yue swiped his gaze towards "Yuan Ting," using his eyes to ask if he wanted to move forward, but he was shocked to find that this Night Watcher from the Taiyi Sect was not flustered at all, but instead looked panic-stricken. "Oh, they've revealed a trump card!" Kou Bei Yue kicked the corpse beside his feet to the side, his eyes as black as ink, and said indifferently:

"Then I'll be worrying and outputting with all my strength."

"With you?" Kagura floated in mid-air, sneering.

Kou Bei Yue ignored him. Under the gaze of the three, he bit the willow blade, put on the Thug Gloves, took out the black-framed glasses, the Demon Subduing Pestle, and the Scarecrow, summoned the Red Dancing Shoes, and finally, to the astonishment of the three, he opened a Taoist robe embroidered with bright flames and ripples.

"Is there anyone in the world so poor?! Is this a mobile treasure trove?"

Lei Bian Yue was dumbfounded, while Qing Song and Kagura both had the urge to curse. "- Solving you within a minute is enough!"

Kou Bei Yue threw the Yin-Yang Robe into the air.

The robe spread out in mid-air, the Tai Chi fish on the back slowly rotating, rippling with translucent water, spewing out scorching flames. Water and fire balanced each other, forming a huge millstone, covering a radius of thirty meters.

And Kou Bei Yue's body disappeared with it. "Whoosh whoosh!"

Lei Bian Yue's position was unlucky. He was right in the area covered by the fire array, and flames sprang up from the corners of his clothes.

He gritted his teeth and slapped them off, but his skin was quickly scorched red and blistered. The physique of an Enchantment Yao was still like this, so the Wood Yao was even more miserable, rolling and screaming in the fire, trying to break through the window and run away.

Buzz!

An invisible wall of air blocked him.

"Can't escape?" Kagura raised an eyebrow, and his triumphant mood diminished, but he was still not flustered. This disposable item gave him enough confidence. As long as he held on for fifteen minutes, Chi Yue An would definitely arrive.

"A petty trick." Kagura looked down at the water and fire array, saying coldly.

"Whether it's a petty trick or not, you'll know in a moment." In the illusory water, a figure condensed from water emerged, one hand holding a gun, the other holding a knife, and wearing black-framed glasses.

"This blondie is very arrogant, I'm angry." In the flames on the other side, a figure composed of fire slowly emerged, saying gently. The fire clone wore a ring and held the Demon Subduing Pestle and the Scarecrow.

The water clone ignored the fire clone and gently lifted its palm.

Illusory streams of water wrapped around the guests who had not yet escaped in the hall, including Jie Wen, and rolled them into the water array. Compared to fire, water was more gentle, and the illusory streams of water would not cause suffocation, so people could survive.

But in the fire array, these people would be burned to charcoal in a short time.

After the water clone finished all this, the fire clone couldn't wait to show the Scarecrow, making the smooth and beautiful doll's face transform into Kagura's appearance.

The fire clone pinched the Scarecrow's head with two fingers and exerted force violently.

Kagura screamed in mid-air, his face shrouded in a cloud of black gas. His eyes were filled with endless anger and madness, his reason eroded by depravity, reduced to a wild beast dominated by emotions.

The fire clone pinched the Scarecrow's head with two fingers and exerted force violently.

Heedless of everything, he rushed towards the fire clone.

The water clone used the Eye of Insight to predict his trajectory and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang!

The bullets missed. Kagura relied on instinct to transform into lightning and strike the fire clone, avoiding the bullets from behind, while the lightning hit the fire clone. The figure composed of flames joined its hands together.

Boom!

His body was shattered by lightning, turning into a dazzling blaze of fire.

And Kagura directly faced this explosion. As a Musician, lightning did not enhance his physique, and he was instantly seriously injured. "Bang bang~"

The water clone decisively fired, covering him with firepower.

Zi zi! Kagura's body turned into an electric current, causing the bullets to miss again.

This was a speed that Kou Bei Yue had never seen before. Even if the other party's mind was in chaos, relying only on instinct, he still caused his two shots to miss.

The target of the Red Dancing Shoes' pursuit was the horse-faced youth, who was now using extremely cruel trampling, kicking the other party again and again. Qing Song, who had already been burned and seriously injured, was screaming from a high pitch to a powerful one under the violent trampling, barely eking out a living with the Wood Yao's recovery ability.

"Hey, you son of a bitch Lei Bian Yue, do you have a way to severely injure this guy?" The fire clone, re-condensed, said gently.

Without waiting for Jie Wenyue to reply, the fire clone cursed, "You idiot main body, all you know is to talk big. There's no way to kill this guy in one minute with that speed." Jie Wenyue said, "Blood, I want his blood."

"That's easy!"

The water clone lifted its foot and stomped.

The Tai Chi fish on the back of the Yin-Yang Robe rotated, and the water and fire array shifted positions. Illusory streams of water surged in layers, wrapping around Kagura. Water was formless, yet substantial. Being in the water array, there was no way to avoid it, no matter how fast he was.

The water clone snapped its fingers, and a touch of illusory water swept over Kagura's body, carrying away the blood water burned by the flames. Under the guidance of the water clone, the blood water fell towards Lei Bian Yue.

Jie Wenyue reached out his palm to catch it, and with the other hand, he grabbed a bronze sculpture from the inventory, holding a short knife with a ferocious face. He smeared the blood water on the sculpture, then placed it on the ground, knelt down on both knees, and bowed heavily.

Little Lord, there's more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, there's more excitement ahead!

Heavily kowtowing.

The bronze sculpture's eyes lit up with scarlet light, and the mini short knife slashed down.

Kagura suddenly screamed, and a mist of blood exploded in his chest, revealing a terrifying wound that reached the bone. This strike directly crippled him.

Seizing the opportunity, the water clone decisively followed up with shots, sending bullets into Kagura's body one by one, creating large holes. Kagura's body crashed to the ground, and the lightning rune on his forehead went out.

He was dead.

The water clone turned to look at the fire clone, saying coldly:

"You fool, don't just stand there watching the show, that Wood Yao is not dead yet."

"Oh, right!" The fire clone immediately woke up, summoned the dazzling Flame Blade, strode forward, and slashed off the horse-faced youth's head with one strike. The wound on his neck was charred, and not a drop of blood flowed out.

Seeing this, the water clone and the fire clone dissipated without hesitation, and the illusory streams of water and scorching flames returned to the robe. Kou Bei Yue's body appeared, caught the robe, and put away the props except for the Red Dancing Shoes, one by one, back into the inventory.

"Jie, solved it."

Lei Bian Yue, covered in burns, looked at Kou Bei Yue blankly.

Too strong, ridiculously strong. Is this Yuan Ting the descendant of some elder from the Taiyi Sect? Special Spirit Realm Walkers, how can they be so rich?

"Don't waste time, bring Jie Wen here." Kou Bei Yue slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the anger that had been bottled up in his heart all night was slightly vented. "What about you?" Lei Bian Yue asked back.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Kou Bei Yue glared at him.

"I don't have time, because I have to dance awkwardly." He mocked himself in his heart. "Okay, okay."

Lei Bian Yue's gaze swept over the unconscious crowd, and he quickly found Kou Bei. He strode over.

Just then, layers of flames poured in from outside the window, smashing through the glass, exploding with a "bang" and condensing into a man in a white suit. Chi Yue An had arrived!

Jie Wenchang and Lei Bian Yue's faces sank, and killing intent and anger flashed in their eyes. PS: Fix typos first, update later.
