The End
"A mid-level Daoist priest!" The Night Watchers stood in awe.
"Master Lin, please instruct us on how to cooperate." The Captain quickly replied, "I am Li Yue, the Captain the seventh squadron of the third detachment of the Night Watchers."
Lin Xu nodded. "Have your people destroy the magic arrays on the ground, and watch out for demon attacks."
"Yes!" Li Yue didn't hesitate. He glanced at his slightly disheveled teammates. "Xiaoyue, Ahu, cover me."
As he spoke, he walked towards the magic circle that was flowing with blood, turning his back to his teammates.
"Captain!" A female shooter looked worried as she scanned the room with a large-caliber shotgun.
"Do as instructed!" Li Yue didn't turn around. His body was tense, and although he seemed carefree, he was actually ready for battle.
He walked to the magic circle and, without hesitation, slashed his long sword fiercely down onto the ground.
Seemingly unable to restrain itself any longer, a slight ripple appeared in a corner of the room.
With a thought, Lin Xu unleashed a bolt of fire that struck the corner of the wall and exploded, turning the area into ablaze.
The flames quickly subsided, transforming into a fiery serpent that swam about, and the space remained silent.
"You dodged it?" He frowned slightly, but then saw the long sword in Li Yue's hand slash down fiercely.
"Buzz~"
A magical orb suddenly appeared and attacked Li Yue, whose chest was wide open.
"Captain!" the group exclaimed.
Li Yue twirled his longsword, colliding with the incoming magic missile.
"Clang~"
With a metallic clang, he shuddered and took a step back before regaining his balance.
"Watch out!" Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat, and another line of fire shot out, exploding in the area of the disturbance, before recombineing into a new fire serpent.
A phantom shadow flashed by, and the demon, about to launch an attack, dodged and disappeared again.
"It's in the Spirit Realm!" After two consecutive encounters, Lin Xu saw through the tricks of the Tzeentch demon.
The followers of evil gods possess all sorts of incredible abilities. For example, the one before us can directly influence the battlefield with spells through weakened barriers of reality, but conversely, it is difficult for our side to directly attack its true form in the Spirit Realm.
Unless, I also enter the Spirit Realm ----
But just as this thought crossed his mind, a chill suddenly ran through him.
This is a mental warning: the Spirit Realm Passage is extremely dangerous; it's the other side's territory.
Lin Xu calmly observed the battlefield, but his mind was recalling information about this Lord of Change from his previous life.
"It's a divination spell—"
Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, is a fallen god of wisdom. Legend has it that he knows the ultimate fate of every Mortal, and his plans span thousands of years, with all the changes being just one part of his scheme.
It is the god of magic, the weaver of fate.
As one of its companions, it was not surprising that the Changeling proficient in prophetic magic.
Li Yue swung his longsword down again, causing a slight ripple in the space as two magic missiles simultaneously hurtled towards Li Yue and Lin Xu.
"As expected, it foresaw my next move?" Lin Xu realized. He had intended to take advantage of Li Yue's attack to destroy the magic array, Changeling behind the scenes had clearly anticipated this.
The next moment, two fire serpents lunged at the magic circle, transforming into high-temperature flames, igniting the blood within the array's runes that shimmered with magical light.
Scorched and dry.
Seeing something doesn't necessarily change the outcome. Just like now, the missile was deflected by the magic inherent in the Daoist robe, but it failed to stop Lin Xu's actions.
"The cursed one!" the demon shrieked, its blue shadow flashing in and out of the hall. The Night Watchers cautiously stopped, seemingly trying to pinpoint the demon's true form from the ever-changing shadows.
Lin Xu silently maintained the purifying fire. As the Glazed Fire burned, wisps of evil god power were purified, and the originally stable sacrificial array flickered.
Just then, the Glazed Spirit Lamp flickered, and a fiery arrow formed from Glazed Fire tore through space, shooting towards a Night Watchers.
Ah~
A Night Watchers screamed as a deep blue magical blade pierced his left arm. Behind him, the Changeling alien flickered, desperately dodging an incoming arrow of fire.
"A futile struggle!" the demon chuckled maliciously, his inner turmoil growing ever stronger.
How many times is this?
It was forced to change its plans time and time again. Although the other party clearly did not have the ability to predict the future, those eyes seemed to be able to see through the timeline and counterattack when it wanted to strike.
To avoid the magical attack, it was once again forced to abandon killing its prey, leaving the heavily wounded Night Watchers to slide helplessly to the ground.
"Axing, you deserve to die!" Captain Li Yue's eyes were bloodshot as he furiously raised his shield and charged forward.
"Mortal, your weak mind is laughable!" The Changeling vanished in a flash of magical light, and a subtle mental spell silently attacked a Night Watchers.
The Night Watchers's eyes widened slightly in surprise. His companion had silently transformed into Changeling. Almost instinctively, he raised his gun...
"Whoosh~"
A flash of light streaked across the sky, and the Night Watchers, bewitched by the magic, was momentarily stunned. The hideous demon had transformed back into his ally. He snapped out of his daze, lowered his weapon, and his heart pounded rapidly.
While Lin Xu released his spiritual sense to sense the location of the Changeling, he also used the Glazed Fire to penetrate the magic circle.
"Boom~"
With a slight popping sound, the magic circle trembled slightly, and the chaotic magic power filling the room quickly dissipated.
This is the hidden core node of the magic circle. Most of the sacrificial magic circle consists of only the outer energy circuits. Only by destroying this node, which is hidden about an inch underground, can the magic circle be truly destroyed.
Ah~
The flickering shadows throughout the hall suddenly vanished, and the Changeling appeared near the Night Watchers.
"Die!" Li Yue roared as he charged forward, slamming his shield down on the demon that had appeared.
"Phew~"
Blue flames suddenly appeared and enveloped the entire body of the Changeling.
"Captain, be careful!" the female archer warned anxiously.
Ignoring the magical flames, Li Yue gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Ah~
The screams of the demon and the Night Watchers Captain rang out almost simultaneously. Lin Xu frowned slightly, and with a flick of his Glazed Fire, he extinguished the magical flames on Li Yue's body.
"Ah~" The Captain stopped struggling, panting. He tried to look in the direction of the demon, but only saw a blue shadow struggling and screaming in the Glazed Fire before finally disappearing completely.
"Captain, Captain, are you alright?" Li Xiaoli rushed over and rubbed him haphazardly.
"No... cough cough... Xiaoli, I'm fine," Li Yue said with difficulty.
Lin Xu swept his gaze across the chaotic hall. The survivors of the Night Watchers squad were scrambling to their feet. Several fallen comrades lay on the ground, but there were no enemy remains.
If it weren't for the destroyed sacrificial circle reminding us of what had happened, it would have seemed like a bizarre nightmare.
"Yinyin, where's Yinyin?" Li Yue struggled to stand up.
