Chapter 26 – Life-Ending Flash Moon


Zhao Kongcheng was puzzled.

Why would this kid come out for a stroll in such heavy rain? And how did he know that Zhao had opened the No-Restrictions Zone?

Moreover, he chose to come at this moment, when Zhao was being beaten on the ground. If he saw this…

How embarrassing!

Not to mention, Zhao had just entrusted the task of protecting the world to him. If he involved Lin Qiye in this and something happened to him, Zhao would never forgive himself.

“What do you care about me coming out? I know you’re fighting with that ghost-faced person inside. Let me in, I can fight too,” Lin Qiye’s voice came from outside again.

“You can fight? Bullshit!” Zhao cursed, “This is not a ghost-faced person, it’s the Ghost-Faced King! ‘Chuan’ Boundary! It’s two major boundaries higher than you, a high school student. Do you think you can fight against him?

Besides, aren’t you always afraid of death? Why are you so reckless now?

Hurry up and go home for dinner. I’m telling you, as long as I, Zhao Kongcheng, am here, this thing won’t be able to harm you or your family!”

“At different times, I may be afraid of death, but I can’t owe anyone any favors!” Lin Qiye shouted from outside, “Our family is happily eating inside, and you want me to fight the Ghost-Faced King alone? Do you want to be an anonymous hero? I won’t agree!

If you want to eat, you have to wait until we kill the Ghost-Faced King, and then we can go back together!”

Lin Qiye forcefully collided with the air next to the signboard, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier that separated the inside and outside of the boundary. No matter how hard Lin Qiye tried, it remained motionless.

Inside the boundary, Zhao Kongcheng was once again sent flying by the Ghost-Faced King. He lay on the ground for a long time before barely propping himself up with a knife.

“Don’t waste your effort… cough, cough. Although I don’t have a Boundary, my opened No-Restrictions Zone is more than enough to block anyone below the ‘Chi’ Boundary. There are only two possibilities to enter here…

Either I let you in voluntarily,

Or… you can only wait for me to die.

If you can’t break through my No-Restrictions Zone, what’s the difference between facing the Ghost-Faced King here and seeking death?”

Zhao Kongcheng stared at the Ghost-Faced King, his voice growing weaker.

After he finished speaking, the commotion outside the boundary disappeared. No one continued to collide with the No-Restrictions Zone, and no other sounds came.

Zhao Kongcheng waited for one second, two seconds, three seconds…

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“That’s right… go home and have dinner. Leave the rest to us, the Night Watchmen…”

Zhao Kongcheng struggled to stand up straight, gasping heavily. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and every breath caused his body to tremble slightly with pain.

His body had reached its limit.

In front of him, the Ghost-Faced King stood like a small mountain in the rain, covered in wounds, some old and some new.

But it was still full of vitality, showing no signs of falling. This was the abnormal physique of a mythical creature.

Zhao Kongcheng held a knife in one hand and tremblingly reached into his pocket with the other. After a moment, he took out a badge.

On the badge were two crossed straight knives, and below them was a name.

Zhao Kongcheng.

In a daze, Zhao Kongcheng felt as if he had returned to the time when he first joined the Night Watchmen as a rookie.

“…The badge is the life of a Night Watchman!

Not only in terms of faith, but also in battle!

Inside this badge, there is a small needle. Once you press the switch, it will pop out, and at the end of the needle is a drug called ‘Ghost God Elixir’.

This drug, when injected into the body, can burn all of a person’s potential in a short period of time, allowing someone who already possesses the Forbidden Ruin to greatly enhance its power!

If you don’t have a Forbidden Ruin, the ‘Ghost God Elixir’ will forcibly stimulate your body and bring out a Forbidden Ruin that has not been revealed in your life essence. In other words, during the duration of the drug, it can give someone without a Forbidden Ruin a taste of having one!

This is a means of mutual destruction, a means of desperate counterattack. It is also the only opportunity for those warriors without a Forbidden Ruin to experience having one in their lifetime.

It should not be used unless absolutely necessary…”

Zhao Kongcheng clenched the badge, his body uncontrollably shaking. He looked at the approaching Ghost-Faced King, a smile appearing on his lips.

“Do you know… how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”

The heavy rain poured!

The rain mixed with blood dripped down Zhao Kongcheng’s arm and fell onto the surface of the badge.

Regardless of whether the Ghost-Faced King could hear or understand, Zhao Kongcheng muttered to himself in the rain:

“Men always yearn for supernatural powers, hoping that one day they can soar through the sky, split mountains with a punch, and cover the clouds with a single thought…

As a Night Watchman for so many years, I have been waiting for the awakening of my Forbidden Ruin. Unfortunately, I am already in my forties and have not seen my Forbidden Ruin yet.

To be honest, it’s really difficult to get by as a Night Watchman without a Forbidden Ruin. Every time I see the captain fighting with a Forbidden Ruin, looking so cool, my heart always feels sour…

Later, I thought that if I ever encountered an enemy I couldn’t possibly defeat, I would try the ‘Ghost God Elixir’ before I died, to see my own Forbidden Ruin. Even if I died, I could die with a smile.

Anyway, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Zhao Kongcheng opened his palm, letting the rain wash over the surface of the badge. His fingers lightly rubbed the side of the badge, and a thin silver needle popped out.

He took a deep breath,

And stabbed the silver needle into the palm of his hand…

“Damn, it hurts a bit…” Zhao Kongcheng grinned and cursed under his breath.The moment the silver needle pierced his skin, Zhao Kongcheng felt the intense pain throughout his body recede like a tide, replaced by an unprecedented surge of power.

Every cell in his body seemed to be on a high, exhibiting an unprecedented vitality. His heart pounded like a war drum on a battlefield, fast and powerful!

Simultaneously, a mysterious force field radiated outward from Zhao Kongcheng as the center.

Zhao Kongcheng’s eyes lit up.

The Ghost Face King seemed to sense danger, growling lowly, his feet sprinting in the rain, propelling forward with terrifying momentum!

Zhao Kongcheng’s back gradually straightened,

His grip on the knife tightened,

Raindrops hit the blade, making a light tinkling sound,

He stood in the rain, holding the knife, his eyes bursting with an unprecedented brilliance!

Then, he raised his hand,

Aiming at the rapidly approaching Ghost Face King,

With one swing, he slashed out.

A four to five meters high black crescent moon swung out from the blade, silently cutting through the rain curtain, in an instant, it pierced the space in front of the two.

The speed of the crescent moon was too fast, so fast that the Ghost Face King didn’t have time to turn around!

Thus, a mangled arm was thrown high into the air.

With one swing, he cut off the Ghost Face King’s arm.

Zhao Kongcheng held the knife, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curling up…

He laughed heartily:

“Forbidden Ruin Sequence 083, [Life-Ending Flash Moon]!

Hahaha, I knew it, I, Zhao Kongcheng… am also a damn genius!!”
