There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
People can form alliances for the sake of profit, but these alliances are fragile.
Li Bingxi, a person who cherishes his life, didn't even seek revenge when his son was killed in City 18, but now he joined forces with Shendai Qianchi to kill Li Shutong, only to be sold out.
"Only you are left," Li Shutong said with a smile, "Are you still confident in winning against me?"
As he spoke, the Knight Demi-God attacked with sweeping moves, stirring the air like rolling waves, and the flying snow in the air like a tide.
He disappeared into the world again, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of one of Li Bingxi's avatars.
A punch.
With just one punch, he sent this avatar flying into the air.
Disappeared again.
Another punch, and another Li Bingxi avatar was sent into the sky.This Koshima family's Demi-God seemed to have no power to fight back in front of Li Shutong.
The speed at which Li Bingxi recreated avatars couldn't keep up with Li Shutong destroying them!
Only at this moment did Qing Chen understand why his teacher said that above Demi-God, it was a competition of individual limits. Li Bingxi's dispersing power seemed fierce, but it was useless in the Face[-] of absolute realm.
If it weren't for the four S-Class Shikigami guarding the formation earlier, Li Bingxi would have probably fled long ago.
No, if it wasn't for Shendai Qianchi joining forces, this Li Bingxi wouldn't have dared to come at all!
For some reason, Qing Chen felt a surge of excitement watching this scene.
Earlier, when the old turtle Shendai and Li Bingxi were besieging Li Shutong, it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried, after all, they were two Demi-Gods.
Qing Chen was even a little angry.
But now, the Shikigami on this snowfield had somehow left, leaving only Li Bingxi, and Qing Chen knew that the balance of victory had tilted to their side.
Li Bingxi's twelve avatars gradually stopped, and Li Shutong also stopped, falling into a stalemate.
This Koshima family's Demi-God was carefully considering what to do: "Li Shutong, there's no need for us to determine a victor today. The one you want to kill today is Shendai Qianchi. Instead of wasting time with me, you might as well rush to the north immediately and kill him with your allies."
"Oh?" Li Shutong asked with a smile, his hands behind his back, "After today, there will be no more Knights, is that what you just said?"
"It's useless to say this now," Li Bingxi sneered, "Do you really think you can keep me here?"
"Why can't I keep you here?" Li Shutong laughed.
Qing Chen's eyes lit up. If his teacher could keep Li Bingxi here today, then the Koshima family would no longer have a Demi-God, no more pillar of strength!
People often say that when two Demi-Gods fight, if one of them is determined to run, the other will never be able to kill him.
Now it seems that this is just a rumor. His teacher seems to have full confidence in keeping the other here!
This is a man who, having just advanced to Demi-God, stands at the top of the Demi-God food chain!
However, the next moment, Li Shutong suddenly shouted: "He"s the only one left, come out, beat him up!"
Qing Chen was stunned.
He immediately looked around, only to see six strangers emerging from the unremarkable snow layer three hundred meters away.
According to the speed of snow accumulation, these six people had probably been lying here for a day.
His teacher was actually turning a Demi-God battle into a group fight!
No wonder his teacher had been fighting for so long, guarding this circle without retreating a step!
It wasn't out of deep master-disciple affection, but because someone was lying in ambush here!
Metahumans gain a sixth sense upon reaching A-Class, and avoiding the perception of a Demi-God requires paying an even greater price.
These six people hiding under the snow had to not look, not think, not move. Any slight movement would have been noticed by Li Bingxi and Shendai Qianchi long ago.
These people had specially trained to gang up on a Demi-God!
Li Shutong, seeing the surprised look on his disciple's Face[-], patiently explained: "We are Knights, if we can gang up, we should try not to fight one-on-one..."
Qing Chen's heroic spirit suddenly faded a lot, but upon closer thought, what his teacher said was indeed damn reasonable.
On the other side, Li Bingxi knew that his situation was dire.
In an instant, the twelve avatars ran in twelve directions, without the slightest hesitation.
No wonder this person is known as the Stone Buddha, he truly cherishes his life!
At this moment, the six people with different appearances ran over, and as they passed Qing Chen, they greeted Qing Chen with smiles: "Hello, Little Boss!"
"Greetings, Little Boss!"
"Long live Little Boss!"
"May Little Boss and his mother be safe!"
These greetings left Qing Chen dumbfounded...
The six rogue Knight Messengers chased after the twelve avatars with wild gestures.
Li Shutong turned back to Qing Chen and said: "Don't just stand there, snipe him! Taking down an avatar now will make him have to recuperate for three more days. This old fox is cunning, and we might not be able to kill him this time. But even if we can't kill him, we have to severely injure him. When you go back, you can say that you are someone who has sniped a Demi-God, how interesting is that."
"Okay... okay!" Qing Chen immediately took out Conquer with Virtue, pulling the trigger again and again.
He only felt that the world had suddenly become absurd, completely different from what he had imagined...
Li Bingxi, no longer caring about the image of a Demi-God, created an avatar with every step he took. The twelve avatars immediately turned into twenty-four, and the twenty-four turned into forty-eight, fleeing in forty-eight directions!
The six Knight Messengers dispersed to chase, but as soon as they dispersed, Li Bingxi's avatars returned to meet them. In the blink of an eye, a situation formed where six avatars besieged one person.
Fortunately, Li Shutong arrived in time, helping the Knight Messengers out of the predicament.
Then, the six Knight Messengers no longer acted carelessly, concentrating together to chase down the avatars, six killing one, with unparalleled coordination, ensuring a stable victory.
Qing Chen felt a little regretful, after all, no matter how powerful the six Knight Messengers were, the opponent was still a Demi-God.
Even if the avatars were divided into forty-eight, they would each have the strength of an A-Class.
Chasing down avatars of this level, dispersing would be dangerous, but not dispersing would be inefficient.
Just as Qing Chen thought of this, where the avatars were fleeing, another six people emerged from the snow, chasing after an avatar and fighting it, killing this one and then the next.
Just as this wave subsided, another wave rose.
Just as the new six people emerged, six more people emerged from further away!
In just a moment, twenty-four people emerged from the snow.
Mind you, these were twenty-four people who had been hiding here a day ago!
Qing Chen was numb.
He knew that Knights liked to gang up, but he didn't expect the scale of this gang fight to be so large!
These people were probably all orphans that Li Shutong had adopted, with varying strengths. Qing Chen clearly saw a D-Class pretending to be an expert in the crowd.
This guy was the loudest.
Who are these people...
In a hasty escape, Li Bingxi didn't have time to distinguish the strength of these people. He only knew that if he didn't take out his trump card, he might really die here today!
The remaining twenty-four avatars split into another twenty-four.
These twenty-four no longer fled but charged towards the Knight Messengers.
Li Shutong frowned: "Retreat."
As he spoke, he stood in front of all the Knight Messengers, and one of the twenty-four avatars pulled out a palm-sized wooden puppet from his sleeve!
The puppet's limbs were flexible, but its Face[-] was painted with a strange smiling expression.
Li Shutong's expression changed immediately when he saw the puppet: "Close your eyes! Forbidden Artifact ACE-016!"
Forbidden Artifact ACE-016, Kill the Witness!
ACE-016 "Kill the Witness' needs to be contained in a completely dark sealed container.
Otherwise, it will choose the most suitable time to kill all creatures that have seen it.
Once ACE-016 appears, containment personnel who have seen it will be obligated to evacuate all people who have not seen it and, at the cost of their own lives, lead it into a sealed container and contain it.
This is a very strange Forbidden Artifact. It has even killed A-Class Metahumans!
Just now, all the Knight Messengers, including Qing Chen, had seen it. If it couldn't be contained, it would hunt down everyone to the ends of the earth, ignoring all disguises and distances, and it couldn't be controlled.
The puppet jumped down from Li Bingxi's avatar's hand, not killing anyone, but wanting to escape immediately!
In Forbidden Artifact ACE-016, there is a crucial piece of information: it will choose the most suitable time to kill.
At this moment, with a Demi-God present, it immediately judged that it couldn't kill anyone, so what it should do most was escape, and then wait for everyone to disperse before killing them one by one at night while they slept.
If it was allowed to escape today, then everyone here would Face[-] endless pursuit and nightmares!
Li Shutong flashed over and grabbed it, but the puppet twisted its joints and broke free from his palm in a deformed posture.
Li Shutong struck it into the sky with a palm, each time it fell, he struck it back into the sky, preventing it from having a chance to escape.
He also tried to directly destroy this Forbidden Artifact, but no matter how hard he tried, the puppet couldn't be damaged.
Li Shutong frowned and said: "Li Bingxi abandoned such an important Forbidden Artifact in order to escape."
Although this Forbidden Artifact ACE-016 isn't the most powerful Forbidden Artifact, it is the most convenient for ambushing people, making it impossible to guard against!
Even a Demi-God would be disgusted by it!
It must be said that a Forbidden Artifact used by a Demi-God to save his life always has unexpected effects.
The Knight Messengers had lost their momentum from just now, wailing and shouting: "Boss, quickly think of a way, or we're all done for!"
Seeing the Knight Messengers, who were like tigers just now, now begging for mercy, the magnitude of the change stunned Qing Chen...
But at this moment, where could they find a completely dark container?
At this moment, Li Shutong suddenly looked to the south, only to see a group of crows wearing black cloaks running quickly, taking out white flame badges and pinning them on their hoods.
Si Yue, in the lead, shouted: "Quick, get it over here!"
Li Shutong seized the opportunity to slap "Kill the Witness' towards Si Yue, and Si Yue took out a black pocket from his sleeve and put the small puppet into the pocket in mid-air.
The pocket was pitch black, as if no light could penetrate it.
The small puppet struggled in the black pocket for a moment, finally calming down, and Si Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shutong saw this scene: "Prepared in advance... No wonder San Yue didn't come. I originally thought a Demi-God would fall, which is why you were brought here, but your goal was to contain it."
As he spoke, he frowned and looked to the north: "It seems that Chen Yu won't kill Shendai Qianchi."
That's right, if a Demi-God fell, San Yue would definitely come to contain it personally because she had to prevent someone from using the Demi-God's corpse to "plant' a Forbidden Artifact.
For example, burying Shendai Qianchi's corpse in an unknown place and then going to the tomb to look for Forbidden Artifacts decades later.
Earlier, many Metahumans maliciously "planted' Forbidden Artifacts in order to obtain huge profits.
A Forbidden Artifact extracted from a Demi-God would inevitably be an S-Class Forbidden Artifact, and its safety rating would inevitably be "very dangerous'.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, Forbidden Artifacts that the Tribunal rates as "very dangerous' are very valuable.
Si Yue obediently said: "Uncle, Forbidden Artifact ACE-016 is rated as very dangerous. If this kind of thing falls into the hands of civilians, many people will suffer... If you're not careful, it might cause a city-wide massacre. You should be very aware of the seriousness of this matter."
Li Shutong thought for a while and said: "What if I don't give it to you?"
Si Yue: "A character as powerful as you doesn't need this kind of thing."
"I can give it to my disciple, and I can also give it to my grand-disciple. I will have many grand-disciples in the future," Li Shutong said.
Si Yue's Face[-] immediately turned bitter: "You are a Demi-God, you shouldn't make things difficult for a little girl, right?"
Li Shutong said seriously: "I will."
Si Yue said: "Our Boss also gave Li Dongze a pocket watch..."
"One thing is one thing, that's their business, Li Dongze also gave it to her," Li Shutong said.
Si Yue sighed, and had one of the crows behind him open his backpack and take out two red velvet boxes: "As Boss said, Knights are indeed difficult to deal with. These are two safely rated Forbidden Artifacts, in exchange for Forbidden Artifact ACE-016."
Li Shutong smiled: "Deal."
Qing Chen was stunned. So, you can also bargain with the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal?!?
Li Shutong said to Si Yue: "You guys got a great deal. If it weren't for San Yue and... forget it, I won't mention it."
As he spoke, the Demi-God casually took a red velvet box and handed it to Qing Chen: "I heard that you also took in a disciple in the Outer World. I gave Li Ke a meeting gift, this is for the other one."
Qing Chen's Face[-] darkened: "You weren't so quick to give me a Forbidden Artifact back then."
Li Shutong glanced at him: "I was afraid of spoiling you."
"They won't be spoiled? Li Ke's strength hasn't reached the point where he needs to wear a Forbidden Artifact," Qing Chen was unhappy: "Don't spoil my disciple."
"What are you saying, you disrespectful brat? Do I need to ask you about giving a gift to my grand-disciple?"
Qing Chen thought, is there some kind of curse on Knights when it comes to being affectionate with grandchildren? Why do they all forget their sons when they have grandchildren?!?
"By the way, Teacher, I have another disciple," Qing Chen said, looking at the other box in Li Shutong's hand.
"I suspect you're lying to me, but I have no evidence," Li Shutong said.
Qing Chen pulled Li Shutong to the side and said in a low voice: "It's true, this one is also a Yin-Yang Master Knight."
Li Shutong raised an eyebrow, another one who changed jobs? And also a Yin-Yang Master.
Qing Chen explained: "It's a nine-year-old girl named Shinguji Maki. Her blood can deter Shikigami. I still don't understand what's going on. I smeared her blood on my wrist, and after the Yin-Yang Master died, Shikigami would involuntarily drill into my brain from my wrist."
Li Shutong was a little surprised: "Yuan Clan?"
"What Yuan Clan?" Qing Chen asked.
"The former owner of the Shendai Family. The Shendai tried to erase this history, but Observer recorded everything," Li Shutong said: "This little girl must be protected. The Shendai will go crazy for her."
Qing Chen said in a low voice: "The Shendai probably think that I am the one who can deter Shikigami."
Li Shutong gave Qing Chen a deep look: "Are you covering for her? This decision is dangerous."
Qing Chen said: "I am her teacher."
"That's a bit like my style," Li Shutong laughed and walked north: "You made the decision yourself, bear it yourself. Let's go, the crows are here for the Forbidden Artifact, which means that the old turtle Shendai is not destined to die today. Let's go see how he survived... It's a pity, the Chen Family's ambition is bigger than I imagined."
...
...
The Demi-God war ended prematurely.
It's like playing stud. When one person has three Kings and the other has three Aces, it's easiest to have a situation of fighting to the end.
But if one side is slightly weaker, someone will want to run away.
The alliance between Li Bingxi and Shendai Qianchi was too fragile. Like a domino, from the moment Shendai Qianchi recalled the Shikigami, the dominoes began to fall one by one.In the north, only Chen Yu remained on the snowfield. The others had disappeared.
The snowfield was covered with giant pits several meters deep. Just looking at the scene, one could tell how dangerous the battle had been.
There was blood on the ground, but Chen Yu had no blood on his body.
Li Shutong and Chen Yu gazed at each other from a distance.
The previous generation Demi-God and the younger generation Demi-God stood on this snowfield. The world seemed to consist only of these two, making the snowfield seem particularly pure.
Chen Yu, carrying a bamboo basket, bowed to Li Shutong: "I have repaid the favor owed by my father today."
"You severely injured Shendai Qianchi?" Li Shutong asked.
Chen Yu said sincerely: "Severely injured."
"The student surpasses the teacher."
"He"s too old. His aura has begun to decline, and even his control of Shikigami is weaker than before. Moreover, you initially risked your life to restrain his four Shikigami, which gave me the opportunity," Chen Yu said.
"Why let him go?"
"Because you and Shadow are not dead yet, and the Chen Family is not ready yet," Chen Yu said frankly, "And I have already told him that Shendai's Northern Fleet, carrying "Susanoo Missile' missiles, is on its way. Someone wants to kill all the Demi-Gods present today, including him. He knows who really wants to kill him. Letting him go back will only weaken Shendai slowly. So, before you arrived, I let Shendai Qianchi go."
"Skilled in calculation, a bit unlike your father," Li Shutong laughed, "However, it's also considered frank, not using conspiracy, but using open strategy."
"It's not much of an open strategy, but someone in the Chen Family has to do these things," Chen Yu said.
"What are your plans next?"
"Go home, cultivate, paint," Chen Yu said.
"What do you plan to paint?"
"Paint the heavens full of Buddhas," Chen Yu replied with a smile.
"Ambitious, go," Li Shutong said.
As he spoke, Chen Yu bowed again, unfurled a scroll, and released a blue ox.
The young Demi-God sat sideways on the blue ox, riding the clouds and soaring into the sky.
Qing Chen stared blankly at this scene. He hadn't expected the Chen Family Demi-God… to be somewhat like a deity.
Li Shutong said regretfully: "I originally planned to kill Shendai Qianchi today and plant him in Forbidden Zone 002 to get an S-Class Forbidden Artifact, but I didn't expect the Chen Family not to want him to die. The affairs of this world are really complicated."
In fact, Li Shutong knew that the Shendai Consortium's Northern Fleet was about to arrive, and no Demi-God was willing to die under such artillery fire, so this battle was destined not to be satisfying.
That Shendai Family Head… was ultimately a little impatient.
If it weren't for the arrival of this Northern Fleet, Li Shutong might have continued to pursue him north. Now, he had no choice but to retreat.
Knights prefer to gang up on others, rather than be ganged up on by others.
So, the Shendai Family Head's cleverness backfired.
"Let's go, leave before the Northern Fleet arrives," Li Shutong said.
But at this moment, he turned back to look at his precious disciple, only to find Qing Chen standing there silently.
"Teacher, I want to go south. There are still people waiting for me there," Qing Chen said.
Li Shutong pondered: "Are you talking about the people you brought out of the A02 base? If you go to find them, you will be bombed to death together by the Susanoo Missile missiles."
Qing Chen said calmly: "I brought them out, and I also asked them to go to the target location to wait for me. I didn't expect Shendai to send another fleet. I don't know if I can get them out before the fleet arrives. But I have to go."
"What I'm curious about is, what method do you have to take more than a thousand people away from under the eyes of the Shendai fleet?"
"Perform a magic trick."
"Are you confident?"
"No."
"Then why do you have to go?"
"Because I am a Knight."
Li Shutong said with a smile: "Then go, maybe this is the meaning of your journey."
The young man turned and ran wildly to the south, running across the snowfield, running across the mountains, letting the wind howl around him, letting the cold erode his skin.
The Demi-God battle had delayed too much time. He had to arrive at his destination within 6 hours.
Faster!
Qing Chen only wanted to be faster!
While running, he lost his balance due to the injury on his chest, but he fell to the ground, rolled over, and then stood up again, continuing to run wildly.
Li Shutong looked at the young man's back. He had always worried that Qing Chen carried too much on his shoulders, so he was always prematurely mature.
So, he tried to send Qing Chen back to school, tried to take Qing Chen to see the outside world, but nothing could change anything.
And now, he finally felt that something in this disciple's heart had come alive.
Never retreat half a step again.
……
……
The sky gradually darkened.
Li Cheng and Qing Ling walked wearily at the front of the team.
Their legs were numb, and they couldn't even feel the skin on their faces clearly when their hands stroked it.
Along the way, people kept falling behind. The warriors sat down by the roadside, knowing they could no longer get up.
Those exhausted warriors wanted to continue to follow the team and see what kind of miracle that Qing Chen Supervisor was going to give them, but they couldn't see it.
"You continue to move forward. My soul will cross the Spring Thunder River a little earlier. I'm waiting for your triumphant return in my hometown," someone said, sitting by the roadside.
Li Cheng and Qing Ling didn't dare to look at the fallen warriors any longer. They didn't have much time and could only keep moving forward.
Would Qing Chen, who was being hunted down by the Yin-Yang Masters, already be dead?
Would Qing Chen survive and continue to escape with them, this group of burdens?
No one asked these questions. Everyone kept their last hope in their hearts, afraid that if they asked, that trace of hope would also be shattered.
Even if they really died here, they would just consider themselves unlucky.
Being able to escape from the A02 base was already very good.
Just then, Li Cheng, who was at the front, suddenly said blankly: "We're here."
Qing Ling was stunned for a moment. He quickly checked the surrounding environment: "We're here, we've arrived at the place Boss told us to go!"
The warriors cheered and embraced each other: "We're here, we've finally arrived."
But after the excitement, there was disappointment.
This was a valley. There was nothing else besides them, no one to meet them, no miracle, and no Qing Chen.
Li Cheng scratched his head blankly: "Maybe Boss is still on the way. Why don't we wait here?"
The warriors sat down on the ground in despair.
Someone said: "Boss… probably can't outrun those Yin-Yang Masters."
The subtext was that Qing Chen might already be dead.
Someone said: "Why don't we go north again? Maybe a few people can survive this snowfield. There's still a month before spring, and some people will always survive."
Li Cheng shook his head: "The order I received was to arrive here. The military order didn't tell us to go anywhere else."
"But…" Someone wanted to refute: "But we've already arrived. There's nothing here. We can't just wait here to die, can we?"
Li Cheng suddenly said: "Everyone here used to be soldiers. If the military order was for you to defend the position to the death, what would you do? Even if you were the only one left on the position, and the enemy had 10,000 soldiers, but no one told you to retreat, what would you do?"
"Defend it…" Someone said weakly: "I know what you mean, Lao Li. Don't make it sound like we're all cowards. Since you say it's a military order, then let's all defend here and die here. It's good that everyone dies together and it's lively, so we don't have to go on the road again. It's too lonely for brothers to fall behind."
"Qing Ling, you're good at fighting. Climb up the valley and take a look. What's outside the valley?" Li Cheng said.
Qing Ling nodded and climbed up the valley wall without saying a word.
Because his fingers were a little disobedient, he almost fell several times.
When Qing Ling climbed to the top of the mountain, he was stunned.
Li Cheng shouted in the valley: "Qing Ling, what did you see? Why are you so dumbfounded?!"
In Qing Ling's vision, in the distant horizon, the dense Northern Fleet was sailing towards this side. Their navigation lights shone in the night sky like stars. That was one of the combat sequences that all soldiers on the front lines were most reluctant to Face[-].
Qing Ling murmured: "I saw the Shendai's Northern Fleet…"
Li Cheng: "Holy crap…"
Qing Ling analyzed: "At most forty kilometers away from us, more than two hundred ships, they'll be here soon!"
Forty kilometers is the distance that humans see the horizon on the sea.
The valley was silent. They never thought that what Qing Ling saw would be a fleet!
More than two hundred Airships must be equipped with more than ten Class A Airships… In fact, analyzing all this was useless. Only one Class B military Airship was enough to wipe out all of them.
"Come down, Qing Ling," Lao Li said in a low voice.
Qing Ling returned to the valley in a daze. He sat on the ground in silence.
Li Cheng said with a smile: "It seems that we won't be able to wait for Boss. If I were him, if I saw this fleet from afar, I would turn around and run away immediately."
Qing Ling suddenly said: "How does that song that Boss taught us go? Why don't we sing it a few more times?"
Lao Li scolded with a smile: "With your out-of-tune voice, what are you singing? Don't ruin Boss's song."
"Can't I sing if I'm out of tune? Did I eat your rice if I'm out of tune?" Qing Ling yelled, "Why didn't I realize that you old boy are so fond of flattering?"
Lao Li lowered his head and said: "I don't really want to sing. I wish I had a cigarette. I haven't smoked for nineteen years. I've forgotten what it tastes like. I just remember the first time I smoked when I was a kid. I passed out after one puff. It was wonderful."
"I'll let you smoke enough when we get back. Take a hot bath when you get home, eat a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs made by your parents, and drink two glasses of wine."
"Still going back, going back my ass," Li Cheng scolded with a smile.
But as soon as he finished scolding, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because that was Qing Chen's voice!
All the soldiers suddenly turned their heads to look at the end of the valley. The young man was standing there panting, the wound on his shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible.
Li Cheng immediately stood up: "Boss, why are you here?! The Northern Fleet is coming soon, you leave quickly! You're a small target, maybe they won't find you!"
Qing Chen just said to himself: "Zhang Lanlan, the Federation's top female star that you like, married a wealthy businessman and had two children."
"The hovercraft has a new model. The fastest speed can reach 460 kilometers."
"The Federation's synthetic meat is still very difficult to eat, but at least it's better than the A02 base."
"The LGD team won ten consecutive championships in the holographic e-sports league."
"The city's bars lifted the alcohol ban last year."
"Now City 10 has started issuing ID cards to cats."
Qing Chen said: "I don't mean anything else by saying this. I just think that I should take you back to see what it has become, and you must go back to see what it has become."
"Do you believe in miracles? Someone once told me that people who believe in miracles are themselves miracles," Qing Chen grinned and said: "Let me perform a magic trick for you? To be honest, I'm not very confident, but if this magic trick fails, I'll die here with you."
"Huh?" All the soldiers were stunned.
Qing Chen glanced at the time on his right arm and said: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
All the soldiers waited silently.
As the countdown ended.
Rumble!
A black Steam Train, emitting thick smoke, came from the nothingness deep in the valley.
It stopped beside everyone.
The person who believed in miracles really created a miracle.
Qing Chen slowly walked to the door of the Steam Train and reached out his right hand with the black tail ring and gently turned the doorknob.
With a click, the door opened.
The black smoke that was coming out of the Steam Train's chimney suddenly stopped, as if something had happened that it couldn't understand…
Qing Chen turned back to the more than nine hundred soldiers and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you home."
The soldiers boarded this train from nowhere in a trance, and then watched it re-enter the void in the carriage.
It was heading towards a destiny that was still unknown, but was bound to be glorious.
Shadow stood alone on a distant mountain, silently watching this scene and smiling: "It's not that I didn't take him back to Ginkgo Manor, it's that I couldn't find him… I hope that one day, I can still see such a magic trick. It's interesting."
As he spoke, Shendai's Northern Fleet had arrived.
They dropped a Susanoo Missile on top of Shadow's head, and Shadow watched with a sneer. If this Shadow Gate couldn't be opened horizontally, he would have let this Susanoo Missile fall on Shendai's own military base.
Shadow opened the Shadow Gate and disappeared the moment the Susanoo Missile was about to land.
Extremely calm.
……
