Chapter 136 "...It's...resolved just like that?"
After Lin Qiye's twin swords left, the enemy at the "Chuan" realm was preparing to turn around and attack Lin Qiye.
But to their utter surprise... they turned around and saw their own group being beaten down by Liu Lang and his men!
Furthermore, in the short time it took Zhang San to turn his head and be stunned, his head was separated from his body!
Most importantly, no blood flowed out; all that lingered in his ears was Zhang San's cry of "Ah!"
"How dare you hurt my student! You're asking for death!" The instructor was no pushover either; he faced off against the instructor with equal skill, no longer holding back.
After all, judging from their apparent strength, they are clearly stronger than their opponents.
It was only because they needed to conserve their energy for the rescue mission to the target village that he was preoccupied with other matters and hadn't reached a conclusion yet, which gave Lin Qiye time to report to headquarters.
Liu Lang wasn't like Lin Qiye; he didn't have any intention of talking to the other person...
Now that the fight has begun, it's a life-or-death struggle... Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
He wasn't a lion, but he was capable of dealing with a little guy who had only broken through to the mid-stage of the "Chuan" realm.
It was a piece of cake for him.
Liu Lang then gave the man in the baseball cap no chance to make a move, slashing him again and again.
The power of the naginata, combined with his growth over the past year... allowed Liu Lang and Lei Yingdian to resolve the battle simultaneously.
After that, the battles on Lin Qiye's, Molly's, Baili Pangpang's, and Cao Yuan's sides also ended... along with the other new recruits who were assigned to them.
There's Baili Pangpang's inhumanly powerful forbidden attacks, and the madman Cao Yuan's manipulation of the [Little White Slash] like clay, plus Lin Qiye's peak combat power with the dual divine agents of the "Chuan" realm, and Molly, the owner of the extremely dangerous forbidden ruins, etc...
They do have more people than the others, but Lin Qiye and his group aren't human!
It was a complete dimensional reduction attack, under the rainy night.
Everyone stood together behind the instructor, watching him and the remaining enemy from the "Chuan" realm.
"Instructor, do you need us to help?" Lin Qiye called out, looking at the instructor who was entangled with the enemy.
After several rounds of back-and-forth, the instructor had already gained the upper hand... but Lin Qiye's shout brought him down.
The enemy, who had already sensed something was wrong, seized the opportunity to exploit the instructor's weakness and then ran away.
However, Liu Lang was not about to give the other party that opportunity.
He hadn't run very far before Liu Lang caught him and brought him back.
The instructor looked around at the mountain road, which was now in a terrible state. After the battle, the large rock that had blocked their path had long since flown away.
More than a dozen corpses of the ancient gods who had taught them still lay on the ground...
"This...this is all it took to solve it?" the instructor asked, somewhat surprised.
Normally, when they encounter a group of members from an ancient god church of this size, the battle between them would typically last at least an hour.
But now, the battle was over in less than ten minutes?!
Is this reasonable?
However, when he considered the performance of the rescue team he led during this training camp, he felt it made perfect sense...
Otherwise, why would they all be assigned to Rescue Team One? You know, the top three in this training camp were all from the team he led.
By the time Liu Lang brought the guy from "Chuan" back, the rain had subsided.
Liu Lang casually tossed the man to the ground, then said to Lin Qiye and the others, "Someone interrogate him and see if there's anything we can find... So many enemies came and we only left this one alive, so be careful."
Molly glanced at the enemy and stepped forward, saying, "Leave him to me. Get him onto the wagon first...interrogate him on the way. We don't know the situation in our target village yet, so let's ask as we go."
No one refused; this was a matter of life and death.
Every second they arrive at the scene later means there's a greater chance someone will die.
They've already been delayed by this group of people from the Church of the Ancient Gods for about ten minutes, and the people at their target location still don't know what's going on.
On the covered wagon, Baili Pangpang was pressing down on the last remaining enemy from the "Chuan" realm, while Molly was torturing him with her forbidden technique, [Myriad Phenomena in Motion].
Lin Qiye, Liu Lang, and the others who were watching the show couldn't stand it anymore.
“Speak up, or I’ll continue!” Molly said expressionlessly.
Ignoring his pleading eyes, and seeing that he still showed no sign of responding... she was about to continue her attack.
......
As he continued his journey to his destination, Lin Qiye continued to attempt to contact the temporary headquarters at the foot of Jinan Mountain via the communication system.
"Calling headquarters, please respond... Please respond."
After an unknown amount of time, a voice finally came from the other end.
Hong Hao's voice came from the other end of the line, "Headquarters received... What's the situation on your end? What are the casualties?"
"Reporting to headquarters, Rescue Team One was attacked by the Church of the Ancient Gods... We suffered no losses."
"The enemy has been completely annihilated, with one survivor... Interrogation is currently underway. We have no casualties on our side. Please provide further instructions!"
"Continue with the original plan. Go and rescue the people first... Leave everything else to us."
After saying all that, Lin Qiye changed his tone and said, "Instructor Hong, from what we know here... this natural disaster doesn't seem to have been generated naturally. What exactly happened? Where is Chief Instructor Yuan...? When we called him before, headquarters didn't respond at all."
After a moment's hesitation, Hong Hao replied in a slightly hoarse voice.
"The commander went missing twenty minutes ago. According to the information from your side and his rescue team... the commander is very likely to be held back by the ancient god [Whisper] in the Church of the Ancient Gods."
"The head instructor has disappeared!?" Lin Qiye repeated in shock.
"Missing? How is that possible! Chief Instructor Yuan is a 'Sea' Realm expert, how could he possibly disappear..." Baili Pangpang was shocked when he heard Lin Qiye's words.
"I'll explain later..." Lin Qiye said to Baili Pangpang, then continued to ask into the communication device, "So what do we need to do now?"
"..." Another silence followed.
Shortly afterward, a sound came from the other end.
"Don't worry about this for now... Just carry out the original plan and keep a watchful eye out. If you notice anything amiss, call for help immediately!"
"Yes!"
........
"Go ahead and ask! How am I supposed to know what to answer if you don't ask me?" This happened shortly after they had arrived at their destination.
He finally managed to speak quickly while Molly caught her breath.
God knows what he just went through.
【Various Phenomena in Motion】When vibrating, it acts as a powerful weapon of destruction.
It is used for interrogation and is an even more powerful means of torturing the other party.
Molly: "........" How can you talk like that? Don't I have any dignity?
"I advise you to tell the truth, or I'll have plenty of ways to torture you..."
"I'm asking you, where did you get the information about Lei Yingdian and Lin Qiye? What's your plan this time? Tell me everything!"
The tormented member of the Ancient God Church finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Our plan this time is..."
He was speaking when, as if he had triggered some taboo, he turned to ashes in an instant.
They vanished in the blink of an eye, as if they had never been seen at all... leaving no trace whatsoever.
"What is he doing...?" one of the new recruits asked in horror, pointing to the spot where Baili Pangpang had been pressing down.
After seeing his disappearing body, Baili Pangpang and Molly remembered the "believer" contract that Chen Muye, the captain of Squad 136, had mentioned back in Cangnan City.
Then I instantly understood.
Liu Lang stopped watching the show and explained, "The [Believer] Contract is a contract created by [Whisper], one of the three ancient gods in the Ancient God Church, to control the minds of others."
"He seemed to have tried to say something forbidden by the contract, and the contract backfired on him..."
.......
Stab it--!
The van suddenly braked hard, and the instructor driving it called out to the group behind, "We've arrived at the designated village. Everyone, coordinate and begin the rescue operation!"
"Yes!"
The members of Rescue Team One scattered. Lin Qiye, Lei Yingdian, and Liu Lang were responsible for using their abilities to search for the location of the victims, and then their respective teams were responsible for digging and rescuing them.
The new recruits who followed were responsible for treating the wounded victims.
Everyone was working in an orderly manner, with clear division of labor... to carry out the rescue operation.
Their rescue team was stationed in Village No. 1 in the valley. With the cooperation of Lei Yingdian, Liu Lang, and Lin Qiye, they quickly rescued all the survivors.
.......
Lin Qiye used a walkie-talkie to report the situation to the temporary command post: "Rescue Team No. 1 is calling for help from headquarters. The team has arrived at the designated location and completed the rescue... Village No. 1... The survivors have received initial treatment and are awaiting further rescue teams."
"Received. The rescue team will arrive in one day. Until the official rescue team arrives, you stay there to protect the wounded... When they arrive, immediately descend the mountain to avoid a direct confrontation."
"clear."
"..."
When Lin Qiye relayed the message from the temporary command post to everyone, Cao Yuan asked somewhat strangely, "Why do we have to leave before the regular rescue team arrives? Can't we go down the mountain with them?"
Before Lin Qiye could explain, the instructor who hadn't said anything yet continued to explain: "Let's not even talk about how the situation in Jinan Mountain is a bit special right now, and a major battle could happen at any time... We belong to the Night Watchers organization, and in the eyes of regular rescue teams, we are a non-existent rescue team... If we encounter them, it might cause some trouble."
That's why we were told to go down the mountain on our own first... to avoid a direct confrontation.
After hearing the instructor's explanation, everyone understood and nodded.
After the rescue was completed, the group took the survivors to a dilapidated house to settle down.
After settling in...
It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on everyone, and a wave of exhaustion washed over them, so they all began to rest.
Loud snoring filled the air, and then, as if by magic, everyone drifted off to sleep.
Liu Lang drifted off to sleep.
He was sleeping so soundly that he unconsciously leaned against Lei Yingdian's shoulder without even realizing it.
Lei stared blankly at his face for a long time, her mind in turmoil, but in the end she couldn't bear to push him away and just let him lean on her like that.
However, she seemed to remember something. The life energy within Liu Lang's body was so abundant... it was comparable to the spiritual power of a "Sea" Realm expert.
It's impossible for him to be so exhausted from just a few hours of high-intensity activity that he would fall asleep immediately!
"Liu Lang? Is he asleep...?" Lei Yingdian asked telepathically.
She stared at Liu Lang's handsome face, and already understood...
"Huh? Who's Liu Lang?"
"Oh, Liu Lang, it's me! I'm asleep, don't disturb me..."
Upon hearing Liu Lang's words, Lei Yingdian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything... though his gaze towards Liu Lang was full of doting affection.
Even in his sleep, Liu Lang's lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile.
Molly suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw Baili Tuming leaning towards her.
Molly stared at Baili Tuming's slightly tired face for a while, then turned back without saying anything.
Baili Tuming's lips also curled up slightly, as if he were having a wonderful dream.
Perhaps he simply smelled a scent that pleased him.
That's why I'm so happy.
The dark clouds were as heavy as lead, pressing down on the sky as if it were about to collapse.
Thick clouds, like a huge dark curtain, shrouded the valley in shadow.
As evening approached, the warmth and brightness of the sunlight could not be felt.
The rain poured down relentlessly, making a splashing sound.
Raindrops pound on leaves, splashing water; they tap on tree trunks, leaving marks; they fall into pools, creating ripples; they seep into the soil, nourishing life.
This seems like the calm before the storm...
