Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1399: The Lone Walker
Figures crossed in the air, and a punch smashed the tyrant's body to the ground.

Chen Dingqian and Feng Jiuyi of the Golden Dawn were the main attackers responsible for killing the strongest tyrant Yuwen Zheng. Even if the keyhole responsible for summoning the tyrant record has been beheaded, the record will not disappear. But for Chen Dingqian and Feng Jiuyi, suppressing Yuwen Zheng's record is not the first time.

With Feng Jiuyi's weakening curse as the lead, and the two of them being at the peak of their physical skills, if Yuwen Zheng himself was not here, he would not be a match for these two. After all, the tyrant himself has no shortage of means to remove various weakening effects, but there is no record.

"Hmph... That guy Suoyan got chopped off again." Yuwen Zheng steadied himself when he landed. He knew the outcome of this battle and didn't expect to win. Suoyan was the weakest among the six in terms of combat power, but he could last a long time because of his special skills.

"But... what's there for a dead person to insist on, haha." Yuwen Zheng looked at the two people slowly falling from the sky. The black tablet in Feng Jiuyi's hand exuded a strong curse, while Chen Dingqian's fists were wrapped with the power of fire and storm. The power they controlled seemed ordinary in the distribution center, but their control of power had reached the pinnacle.

"I am still in the scene, so I can't stay here for too long." Chen Dingqian said in a low voice, "Feng Jiuyi, let's fight quickly and make a quick decision."

"Okay, I will submit the report after the fight." Feng Jiuyi nodded.

Yuwen Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "You two have improved a lot since the last time we met. That's great. Before your souls begin to age, you still have room for improvement. Just keep going like this, keep going like this!"

"You don't have to say that." Chen Dingqian raised his right fist, "I don't look forward to seeing you next time, tyrant."

Then, in the darkness that suddenly expanded, Feng Jiuyi's right fist struck out with wind and fire, and Yuwen Zheng also met it with his sword, fighting with the other party. When both sides knew that they were not their real bodies, there was only one result for such behavior -

boom!
The sword is longer than the fist, but Chen Dingqian's fist penetrated Yuwen Zheng's chest faster, and Yuwen Zheng was a step late and stabbed the sword into the opponent's throat.

The record turned into a blue light and disappeared. Chen Dingqian touched the wound on his throat, made a gesture to Feng Jiuyi, and then disappeared.

With the disappearance of Yuwen Zheng, the other tyrant records did not waste any more time. They were not so interested in the meaningless fight. Since the summoner, Keyeye, had already declared failure, there was no need for them to keep entangled in it.

"Likilia..."

After commanding the heads of the Red Account and White Account departments to split the Death Star into two halves, the woman headed by Ye Longting, the head of the General Affairs Department, walked back to the master of the Gouzhi Temple.

“Thanks for the support.”

"No, that's not it. I'm telling you what the boss of Yelongting wants to say. Unfortunately, the ten section chiefs can just sign the finger-crossing oath with you, but the boss isn't that interested."

"Understandable."

Licilia was not disappointed. After all, she had been rejected many times. The Finger Oath was not a cost-free support. The oath was also compulsory to a certain extent. In addition to the older generation of tourists who might not want to accept it for some reason, many strong tourists also did not like to be bound by this.

"I am very grateful for the presence of everyone from Ye Longting." Ning Ke also said.

"You'd better get the position of Palace Master as soon as possible." Zhirun stepped forward, "The problem of Chaos Clock is very serious. Before you master the power of death penalty, it's best not to let Chaos Clock unseal too many times."

Ning Ke nodded: "I understand."

"There is no powerful force that can be brought into the scene without huge negative effects, so avoid it if you can." The head of the General Affairs Section also said, "Yelong Court has some means of suppression. As long as you pay enough, we can take action."

"I'm afraid Calcite will have objections to this, Chief He." Zhirun glanced at her.

"The General Affairs Department is responsible for attracting business. We don't have a sales department, right?" Section Chief He smiled lightly, "Time is almost up, so we'll take our leave first."

"Wait, Doctor Zhirun, may I ask..." Ning Ke watched the figures disappear one by one and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.

"Here I come." Zhirun raised his head.

Black threads spread from the hillside. Since the blockade capabilities covering the surroundings had been lifted, these threads rushed into the depths of the war zone unhindered and rushed towards Wen Rong's headless body.

A man is coming.

"You probably don't need to deal with the rest. Of course, be careful. That young man has a very stable mentality, but he also has some morbid obsession."

After saying this, Zhirun also disappeared.

As all the sworn brothers disappeared, the only thing left in Ning Ke's eyes was the man in black walking towards him in the sunlight.

——Ontology.

She knew Qiu Suying, but she had no idea about this lone ranger before entering the scene. His behavior was not judged by good or evil, but by his own ideas. There were too many such people in the distribution center, and as long as they were not pure bad guys, few people would pay special attention to them.

Besides, Qiu Suying has never done anything out of line. Although his performance on the scene is occasionally eye-catching, it is not as good as the elite talents carefully selected by major organizations. Therefore, he will not attract too much attention... Except for organizations like Ye Longting that have a person like Die Gongzi who is particularly professional in personnel, probably no one will pay attention to such a tourist.

Zhirun's reminder made her realize that it was time to be on guard.

Qiu Suying was wearing a black shorts and had neatly cut hair that would not affect his combat. He had five satchels on his waist and deerskin gloves on his hands. He looked very capable, and his image was completely different from the one he had used when he appeared in front of anyone before.

At a distance that was just right for both parties, Qiu Suying stopped.

"The demon-suppressing officer?" he asked.

"Yes, you are——"

Ning Ke was about to ask when she suddenly felt a terrifying force pressing down on her head, making her unable to move her whole body. A pair of things like millstones had clamped tightly on both sides of her head, and the next moment it seemed that her head and spine would be torn off.

Almost subconsciously, Ning Ke went back to his own time, and the pressure that appeared out of nowhere disappeared. Qiu Suying clapped his hands lightly.

"You have a very good fighting instinct. You made the only correct response, which makes me believe that you are the one who killed Wen Rong."

Ning Ke's rich combat experience allowed her to recover long ago, but after hearing Qiu Suying's words, she also realized that this tourist was indeed difficult to deal with. He had been hiding his weaknesses for a long time, but at this moment he finally showed a corner of his edge.

"Only retracing can restore your state to the state before 'Answer Me'. If you tried to use stop to escape, or accelerated to counterattack me, your result would be no different from Wen Rong's current state." Qiu Suying hooked his finger, and the black silk thread carried Wen Rong's body towards him. "I won't ask those messy questions. Cognitive interference has always been difficult to deal with. I didn't notice that Wen Rong's state was not right earlier, which was also my negligence. Besides, it was me who asked her to help me come to Guanyuan City, and she was ambushed by you. I am responsible for it."

Ning Ke was not so angry about the assassination, but she was more alert. Qiu Suying was obviously a person who was difficult to predict his next move.

"You didn't ask me anything, which is good. People who can reach high positions in large organizations are at least not those who are stupid enough to waste time on meaningless questions and answers."

Qiu Suying took the Soul-Reflecting Mirror from Wen Rong's body, looked inside, and then sneered.

"I'm just asking why it's so quiet."

"Zhi Run, the chief of Yelongting's medical department, may be able to help you deal with Wen Rong's matter." Ning Ke said, "I don't know what happened, but you obviously know more about it."

"Yes, but I don't like to owe favors to others. Favors mean exchanges, and exchanges mean establishing more connections. Wen Rong is already a friend I carefully selected. She is good at getting out of trouble, won't cause trouble, and can cooperate with me, which reduces a lot of trouble... Because of this, I will give her something in return."

He dropped Wen Rong's body, raised the Soul Reflection Mirror, and pointed his finger at it. Wen Rong's body was drawn into the paper that was unfolded by the black thread under his feet. As Qiu Suying found out the current status of the Soul Reflection Mirror, his expression became a little more relaxed.

"Very good... Your Excellency the Demon Suppression Officer, I sensed the time marks left on the mirror. This is your work." Qiu Suying put the Soul Reflection Mirror on his waist. "Perhaps I underestimated your moral level. You are the one who killed Wen Rong, and you are also the one who saved her."

"Really? It seems that something really happened when I wasn't aware of it." Ning Ke breathed a sigh of relief after getting confirmation.

Qiu Suying bent down to pick up the folded paper, lit a fire and let the ashes fly into the air and drift away with the wind.

"Wen Rong has already left this scene. From now on, until the end, we will never see each other again. I hope you can survive. The final war... I don't think I will participate too much."

"If I'm not mistaken, the laws of humanity are in your hands?" Ning Ke asked.

"Yes, there are things I can do. But please keep it secret, just consider it as my reward for seeing you in my true form. I don't like to be famous, so I will pass on the knowledge so that more people can admire a symbol. The same is true in the distribution center. You who come from a big organization should also understand the mentality of a lone traveler like me. Let's keep social distance, okay?"

Obviously, Qiu Suying did not want an answer to the last question.

He walked back along the way he came without stopping. Ning Ke didn't plan to chase him. It was best not to provoke such a quirky tourist. Ning Ke was not a battle maniac. She just touched her ear. The threat left by the strong pressure just now was still there, but Ning Ke didn't think Qiu Suying could really kill her.

There are real hidden talents among solo tourists.

After Ning Ke sighed, he returned to Guanyuan City.

=
After Lu Ning captured the second village, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not every village has a demon king guarding it, so she doesn't need to play any more cards to reverse the situation. However, this time the rules within the village are even more broken, and can only support the function of reincarnation. As for what the reincarnation will look like, it is completely random, and this rule does not even have a suitable name.

One example would be fine, but now seeing two, Lu Ning was convinced that this was the practice of the demon star. The northern army's attack on Wei was the demon star's way of testing its own abilities. It seemed that the demons noticed the change in the rules much earlier than humans.

However, after she completely destroyed the useless rule, she suddenly felt a slight numbness and itchiness on her arm. After setting up camp, she checked and found that the mark on her arm had disappeared. Although the mark that Wen Rong had left on her with the keyhole had not worked for some reason and was getting lighter and lighter, it had completely disappeared at this moment.

"…Is she dead?"

Lu Ning murmured to herself, feeling somewhat regretful but not particularly sad.

The death of tourists in the scene is even more difficult to avoid at the fifth level. It is rare for the instructor to cover the death like in the last scene. Lu Ning used a small spell to build an altar and paid tribute to this friend who only knew him in one scene, and then returned to his tent.

As usual, she still needed to report today's battle results to Ye Cong, the leader of the ice formation.

However, Ye Cong also gave her two unexpected news.

First, Lu Ning was promoted to be the first commander of the ice formation. That is to say, if Ye Cong encounters any unexpected situation that causes the ice formation to fail to operate normally, the power will be immediately transferred to Lu Ning.

Secondly, in response to the direct declaration of war by the demons, the three cities of Lingzhou must also be prepared for war. Normal troops naturally garrison their own cities and guard against foreign enemies. However, as the commanders of the Ten Absolute Formations, they must be prepared to support, break through, or even directly fight against the enemy at any time. This is the responsibility that the Ten Absolute Formations must bear.

Lu Ning had no objection to this. After all, from the moment she took over the position of Chief Envoy, she had been prepared to face a war.

"In execution of military orders, temporarily assist Gou Chen in defending the city. With your identity, only the three leaders of Gou Chen can give you military orders. If I give orders directly using the connection between the ice formation, the military order will be higher than the three leaders of Gou Chen. If Grand Tutor Guan Yuan Qin gives orders directly using the formation talisman, then it will be higher than all of us. Apart from this, you can decide all your actions by yourself." Ye Cong said.

"Follow the general's orders."

The ice mirror dissipated, and the communication ended. Lu Ning slept in her clothes, preparing to take out the third village tomorrow and return to Gou Chen as soon as possible to assist in the defense.

Just as the sky was getting light the next day, a voice that emerged in Lu Ning's mind woke him up.

[Task three, Yellow Sand Trail, the choices of the current surviving tourists have been completed.

Now the official task is released. 】
