Disaster

You came?

How much bitterness and longing lay behind those three simple words? Only Jialan herself knew.

Over the past few years, she had imagined countless scenes of reuniting with Lin Qiye. Perhaps she had even dreamed of this very moment someday, but she had had too many such dreams to remember.

All she knew was that, at this moment, her heart seemed ready to burst from her chest, the corners of her lips kept rising beyond her control, and tears welled in her eyes...

She was so happy.

"Mm, I'm here." Lin Qiye spoke gently. "Leave the rest to me."

Roar roar roar—!!

Beneath the black temple, countless demons saw Lin Qiye suddenly appear directly above the "Origin" and immediately roared at him in fury. Some of them abandoned Jialan and the other two, charging toward Lin Qiye at top speed.

Lin Qiye sheathed Rain Collapse, lowered his right hand slightly, and gripped Duo E.

Clang—!!

Duo E left its sheath!

The instant the pale violet blade sliced through the air, a thread of ominous aura rapidly spread outward from Lin Qiye.

Rain poured onto the ground, forming pools of water. As the demons roared and rushed toward the black temple, some of them suddenly slipped, tumbling headfirst onto the ground. They rolled like balls for a distance before slamming heavily into the black temple's walls.

By sheer coincidence, that thick, long-neglected wall snapped in half from the impact. Massive stones came crashing down, making the earth tremble faintly.

Billowing dust churned within the rain curtain.

This level of damage was not enough to kill those demons, but it inflicted irreversible trauma upon their minds.

They rose blankly from the rubble, seemingly unable to understand how they, proud native Japanese demons, could possibly slip!

Not only them—the other demons
