“Ahhhh—!!”

The piercing scream echoed in the night sky, causing the three-knife man and the skinny man who were fighting to turn their heads in the direction of the female archer, their eyes filled with horror!

There… was another enemy?!

On the rooftop.

The female archer’s eyes had completely turned black, and she was in agonizing pain as she half-knelt on the ground, uncontrollably tearing at her scalp as if trying to drive something out of her mind.

Fresh blood flowed from the top of her head, and she opened her mouth, vomiting large amounts of black blood, her body darkening at a visible speed.

“Ahhhh… what… what have you done?!!”

In pain, she clutched her head and looked up at Lin Qiye, roaring!

Lin Qiye watched the female archer’s miserable state, his brow slightly furrowed, and he touched his chin with his hand.

“The effect of the darkest erosion on creatures with intelligence is very poor… the higher the intelligence, the more difficult it is to erode. Based on my current boundary, I can only control cats and dogs at most, and the effect on humans is very average…”

Just then, a burst of spiritual power suddenly erupted from the female archer’s eyes, and the night color in her eyes receded like a tide!

She stood up like lightning, staggering backward.

Lin Qiye grunted, also retreating a few steps, holding his forehead with his hand, his brow tightly furrowed.

“Spiritual power can break free from the darkest erosion. The higher the opponent’s boundary, the greater the backlash against me. She should also have the spiritual power of the ‘Pool’ boundary, otherwise, just now, she could have knocked me unconscious…”

It seemed that he still couldn’t use the darkest erosion on people rashly to control their thoughts.

The female archer fell straight down from the rooftop, but she was once the Night Watchman, and even with serious injuries, her skills were still agile!

She swiftly pulled out a feathered arrow from the quiver on her back, piercing it into the hard wall of the building, slowing down her fall!

Then, using the inertia generated by the natural movement of her body, she rolled twice on the lawn at the bottom of the building, barely straightened her body, and quickly bent the bow to nock an arrow.

Swish—!

An arrow shot out, carrying terrifying power, accurately aiming at where Lin Qiye was standing!

Lin Qiye’s brow slightly lifted, as if he had completely anticipated the trajectory of the arrow. He lightly tilted his head, and the arrow grazed his hair, passing by his ear without harming him in the slightest.

The female archer was dumbfounded.

Lin Qiye lifted the black box with one hand, and with the other hand, lightly pressed down on the gentleman’s hat on his head. The wind brushed his coat, and a faint smile curved his lips.

He took a step forward, leaping lightly from the rooftop.

He didn’t slow down his fall like the female archer did, but free-fell, lightly tapping the building’s wall with his toes, gliding like a ghost in the midnight, effortlessly crossing the distance of six floors and landing steadily on the ground.

This series of actions flowed like water, as graceful and relaxed as a black cat jumping down from a cabinet at home.

This was the ‘Pool’ boundary’s [Starry Night Dancer].

“Finally… I can also jump off a building directly.” Lin Qiye thought of the embarrassing scene when he was chasing the Nandu Snake Demon at school, and laughed at himself.

“Are you… human or ghost?!” The female archer saw this scene, her scalp went numb, without saying a word, she turned and ran towards the complex and winding streets behind her.

As she ran, she reached into the quiver to retrieve an arrow, bent the bow to nock it, and shot it back at Lin Qiye, with an extremely smooth motion.

Swish swish swish—!!

Several arrows flew out in succession, but Lin Qiye calmly dodged them, like a leisurely pedestrian, effortlessly avoiding all the arrows.

The perception and dynamic vision brought by the hundred-meter [Mortal Divine Realm], combined with the [Starry Night Dancer], was no joke.

Seeing this scene, the female archer gritted her teeth and simply took out three arrows, nocked them on the bow, aimed, and shot them out!

The three arrows cut through the air in a “品” shape, completely sealing off all of Lin Qiye’s movement space. The arrowheads were like a large net, covering Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye pressed down on the gentleman’s hat on his head, and an extreme darkness spread out from him in all directions.

The next moment, the three arrows were firmly embedded in the darkness, unable to make any progress!

Lin Qiye could catch hundreds of missile fragments in half a second, so catching these three arrows was a piece of cake.

He lightly waved his hand, and the three arrows all turned in the direction of the female archer!

However, since the arrows were not shot by the female archer, they didn’t have as much kinetic energy, and combined with his kindergarten-level shooting skills, the three arrows had no idea where they ended up.

Female archer:…

Lin Qiye sighed and decided to kill her to keep his extraordinary shooting talent a secret.

He lightly pressed a button on the handle of the black box, and with a light sound, a sheathed straight sword popped out from the side of the black box!

Lin Qiye reached out and grabbed the sword,

Clang—!

A crisp hum, and the sword was unsheathed.

Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, holding the sword with one hand, he approached the female archer like a ghost, his speed completely different from before.

The female archer pursed her lips, firing several arrows in a row, but Lin Qiye easily dodged them.Beneath the interplay of light and shadow cast by the street lamps, Lin Qiye’s figure was like a ghost, his pale blue blade drawing a straight line across the dimly lit street, reaching the female archer in an instant.

The female archer’s pupils dilated suddenly!

A flash of Blade Aura, and blood splattered forth.

Lin Qiye, expressionless, walked past the female archer, sheathing his sword.

Thud!

The female archer, her throat slashed, fell to the ground,

her blood slowly spreading out.

Both at the “Pool” realm, it took Lin Qiye only a single blade, a single strike to kill her.

This was not just a gap in the Forbidden Ruin, but more so, a disparity in the type of soldier.

If the battle between Mad Cao Yuan and the Three-Blade Man was like a berserker pummeling an assassin, then her encounter with Lin Qiye was like a fragile archer facing an assassin, powerless against his extreme agility.

As for Baili Pangpang and the gaunt man… perhaps this was akin to a war between Doraemon and Tiger.

Lin Qiye picked up the black case from the ground, slightly lifted his black gentleman’s hat, and looked towards the distant explosions with a sigh of resignation.

“I’ll have to beat that black madman back later, what a hassle…”

He shook his head, picked up two black cases, and walked towards the night-shrouded street.

…

Meanwhile, hundreds of meters away atop another high-rise.

Leng Xuan slowly moved away from his sniper scope, watching the direction Lin Qiye had left, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

“Not bad.”
