Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The flames continued to expand, and within them, human faces struggled, twisted, and emitted painful howls.

Everyone felt a chill rise from their feet, running up their spines and straight to the top of their heads.

Within the flames are the spirits of the dead, once vibrant lives, now imprisoned in this inferno of fire, forced to swallow the bitter fruits of their sins in the most agonizing way.

Aside from Lin Guang, everyone on the street couldn't help but take a few steps back. Even Silver Spear Pegasus subconsciously took a half step back and assumed a fighting stance.

"How many people have you killed?!"

Upon hearing Silver Spear Pegasus's question, Qi Yan picked at his ear amidst the flames, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Not many; this ball of flame only imprisons half a city's worth of traitors."

But after tonight, I plan to stuff another city's worth of feigning sleepers into it... consider it a lesson for Kazimierz.

The sword was drawn, its sharp edge gleaming coldly in the night.

Nearl gripped his sword tightly, pointing it at his companion:

"I won't allow it!"

"You have no chance of winning."

"This has nothing to do with winning or losing!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Guang unleashed his strongest attack, his light piercing through his body and attaching itself to the sword.

The dazzling light seemed to pierce the night sky, illuminating half the street and leaving no place for anyone hiding in the shadows to hide.

Qi Yan remained expressionless, bathed in the light, and stepped out of the flames.

He threw a punch.

The air exploded and twisted under his fist, turning into a visible shockwave that slammed into Lin Guang.

Despite the overwhelming presence and special effects, Lin Guang's seemingly ordinary punch sent her flying backward at an even greater speed, crashing into the wall of a building.

"Shining Knight!"

"Margaret!"

There were exclamations.

Some rushed toward Lin Guang, while others glared angrily at Qi Yan.

Under their captain's command, the Silver Spear Heavenly Horses assembled and charged towards Qi Yan without hesitation.

Faced with the vast expanse of silver meteors, Qi Yan remained expressionless.

He punched again.

The earth crumbled under this punch, buildings collapsed in trembling, and the silver meteor's momentum was forced to a halt, unable to advance any further.

The next second, Qi Yan charged into the Silver Spear Pegasus team, his health bar soaring.

Those seemingly thin lines of blood possessed an irresistible force, easily binding the armor of the Silver Spear Pegasus, lifting them high into the air, and finally crashing them heavily to the ground.

The thirty-odd silver-spear celestial horses, a force powerful enough to flatten an entire city-state, were utterly powerless against Qi Yan, like puppets.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt their throats go dry.

Qi Yan waved his hand, dispersing the bloodline and scattering it all on the walls of the Champions Wall exhibition hall.

The red flames continued to spread, covering the surroundings with a scarlet color. The once magnificent champion wall exhibition hall now looked like a monster revealing its true form, twisted, ferocious, and terrifying.

Qi Yan stepped past the procession of silver-speared celestial horses, with hell looming behind him, and walked step by step toward Lin Guang, who was being helped up from the ruins.

The Blood Knight struggled to block Qi Yan's path.

He had to exert all his strength just to stay standing, yet he still chose to stand in front of Qi Yan.

Qi Yan spoke calmly, his steps unwavering, and swung his hand to strike the Blood Knight.

The Blood Knight roared and tried his best to stop Qi Yan, but he was unsurprisingly sent flying by a single palm strike.

The infected hiding in the shadows were terrified when they saw both champion knights defeated by Qi Yan.

Those members of the Unarmored Alliance couldn't help but feel a bit of surprise, but more than anything, they were still afraid of Qi Yan.

At this moment, they were somewhat unsure whether Qi Yan was still their comrade, and whether the city Qi Yan mentioned included the Unarmored Alliance and the Federation.

No one could stop Qi Yan's progress.

His will is the irresistible might of Heaven.

Sona stood in front of Qi Yan with her sword, followed by Wild Mane, Gray Hair... In the distance, Far Fang's face was a little pale as he aimed his crossbow at Qi Yan.

"Don't hurt them."

Qi Lin's voice suddenly came from behind Qi Yan.

Then, Qi Lin bypassed Qi Yan and went to face the Red Pine Knights and others before him.

“Qi Lin…”

Sona gritted her teeth, her feelings at that moment were so complex that they were indescribable.

Qi Lin didn't react much, she just said calmly:

"I'll listen to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing Sona and the others around. Yuan Ya's arrows flew halfway but fell to the ground because they were covered in frost.

Qi Yan bypassed the Red Pine Knights and continued walking towards Nearl.

Candlelight drifted from afar, landing at Qi Yan's feet and instantly turning into a sea of ​​fire, continuously brewing terrifying magical power, preparing to blast Qi Yan and the ground beneath his feet away.

Qi Yan flicked his finger and shot out a drop of blood, which instantly covered a distance of 100 meters and cut Viviana's candle in the distance.

Martin and his two companions split into three directions to try and restrain Qi Yan, but Qi Yan shattered the ground with a single kick and they fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Zofia's whip lashed out, but Qi Yan ignored the sharp blade on it, grabbed it in his hand, and with a burst of strength, flung Zofia into his younger sister's arms.

Maria held up her shield in front of Nearl, her face pale with fright, but she still closed her eyes and screamed as she charged forward.

She felt as if she had crashed into an indestructible, mobile city-state, and half of her body was numb from the shock.

"I've been singing to more than ten recording companies that went bankrupt these past few days, but I've finally come up with a song I'm satisfied with. I'll let you hear it when I have the chance."

Qi Yan's voice, which he tried to keep low, rang in Maria's ears.

Maria opened her eyes in astonishment, and before she could react, Qi Yan threw her and her shield away.

Maria, suspended in mid-air, closed her eyes again in fright.

Instead of the expected pain of hitting the ground, she fell into a familiar, warm embrace.

"Maria, go wait over there."

Marna placed Maria on the ground and whispered her instructions.

Beside him, Toran forced a smile:

"I may not be the strongest bounty hunter in Kazimierz, but I am definitely the first bounty hunter on this land to dare to face the gods."

Marner corrected:

He once said that he was not a god.

"Ha, is there a difference?" Toran chuckled. "I'll go first."

With two blades protruding from behind, Toran charged towards Qi Yan without hesitation.

In the time it takes to take two breaths, he flew back at an even faster speed.

Marna naturally shifted her feet, perfectly dodging Tolan, and let him crash into the distant trash can.

Chapter 495 The So-Called Knight

The Grand Knights' Champions Wall exhibition hall experienced its busiest and most chaotic day since its establishment.

The crimson flames licked the pitch-black night sky, as if trying to pollute this high and mighty being with their color.

It continues to spread, opening its arms to both sides, embracing building after building and people after people.

By the time people realized something was wrong and tried to escape, they had already become insignificant figures on this stage of destruction, souls about to be thrown into the flames and wail forever.

The flames continued to expand their territory, like a greedy, insatiable tyrant.

Marna's calm voice rang out.

There was no wind or cloud in the world, yet a fine drizzle was falling from the sky.

It was a golden rain of light, gentle and delicate. Even if people in the flames clung to it as if it were their last lifeline, staring intently at the rain of light, their eyes would not be stung.

The flames were contained by the rain of light, stopping within the street area in front of the Champions Wall exhibition hall.

In this battlefield woven from rain and fire, Marna's gaze met Qi Yan's calm eyes.

The two have somewhat similar eyes.

One is understated, the other is dazzling.

"You've finally agreed to come forward," Qi Yan said softly.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve crossed swords,” Marna replied calmly.

"Given the precedents, why does this still happen?" Qi Yan smiled slightly. "You should know just how rotten this city has become."

"This city has been rotting from the roots and is beyond saving."

Marna stated bluntly, "At least I don't have the ability to save it, and I'm not standing up for this city right now."

"So you did it to save Lin Guang?" Qi Yan asked.

Marna did not answer, but looked at Lin Guang, who was struggling to stand up.

The uncle and nephew's eyes met.

Marner remained completely unmoved:

"This is the path she chose herself, and I don't want to interfere. I'm here only for a deal."

“You know in your heart that you will gain nothing,” Qi said.

Marner denied it: "I will definitely find them."

"Find yourself first, Marner."

The conversation between the two came to a complete end. A faint ray of light emanated from Marna's body and condensed into a golden lightsaber in his hand.

Compared to the dazzling light of Lin Guang, this sword is more refined, and its radiance is gentler and more restrained.

Everyone held their breath.

The passersby didn't know who Marna was, but they knew that they had survived the fire thanks to the rain of light from this tall man; he was their last hope.

Those who knew Marna were now on tenterhooks.

Even though they knew that Marna could not be a match for Qi Yan, among the current Grand Knights, only Marna was qualified to stand in front of Qi Yan.

Just as the two were about to clash, someone unexpected stepped between them.

Lin Guang, leaning on his sword, struggled to stand between the two.

Her body trembled from her injuries, and fine beads of sweat constantly appeared on her forehead, but her eyes remained unwavering.

"Qi Yan, your opponent is me."

"...You want to protect your uncle?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.

Lin Guang gritted his teeth and said, "I will protect everyone!"

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze sweeping over the trembling crowd:

Do they need your protection?

“They need it.” Lin Guang raised his sword and pointed it at Qi Yan again. “You said I didn’t wake up anyone who was sleeping. I really can’t give you a satisfactory answer, but I won’t give up because of that.”

You want to use fear to subdue people and make them make choices, but those choices are never heartfelt, and they are not choices that people can consistently pursue for a lifetime.

This era is numbing, this land is despairing, but we shouldn't demand anything of others; we can only demand from ourselves. I believe I can change others... through my actions.

A knight is a noble being who illuminates the entire earth!

Lin Guang held up his sword, facing off against Qi Yan.
