Chapter 1194 Look, who's here?
The towering, multicolored beam of light made Heimdall's face appear deathly pale, as if he had just been dug out of a grave.
The violent spatial turbulence stung people's faces, and a huge hole was forcibly punched in Asgard's eternally gloomy sky.
Wu Hen wiped the blood from his face, wanting to laugh, but it felt like all the air had been sucked out of his lungs.
All he could manage were two broken bellows-like grunts: "Call for backup? You've really messed up the whole thing."
Lin Qiye was too weak to reply.
After that kick, he felt as if his bones had been removed, and he slid down the control panel to the ground.
My vision began to blur, and all I could hear was a buzzing sound in my ears. Only the beam of light was blindingly bright.
Is this the end?
The mission was accomplished, and the "miracle" of Great Xia was preserved. As for whether I would survive...
"That's enough."
Lin Qiye stared at the beam of light, the smile still lingering on his lips.
His eyes, however, revealed a kind of exhaustion that came from risking his life on the line.
"Wu Hen, in your next life... don't be such a coward."
"Get out of here, uncle."
Wu Hen leaned against him, but the dagger in his hand clattered to the ground; he had lost his grip.
"I'm being cautious...you don't know anything..."
The two lay side by side, like two dried-out salted fish.
This is indeed a dead end.
Hela has gone mad.
"Destroy the bridge!! Nobody gets to leave!!"
The woman's screams were so loud they could pierce your eardrums.
Ignoring the still-bleeding wound on her chest, she transformed into a black storm.
It was enveloped in a deathly aura that could corrode everything, and it crashed into the control panel like a madman.
If this attack lands, not only will Lin Qiye and Wu Hen be reduced to ashes, but even this half of the Rainbow Bridge will be reduced to dust.
The smell of death, foul, cold, assaults the very core of one's being.
Lin Qiye's eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but he didn't want to close his eyes.
He was not reconciled.
I went through all this trouble to open the door, and now I'm about to hang up without even seeing that person's face?
Just as the black storm was less than half a meter from their noses, and Wu Hen closed his eyes in despair, preparing to await death—
"clang--!!"
A deafening metallic clang rang out.
There was no pain as I had expected, nor the sensation of being torn to pieces.
A strange wave instantly spread out, and the surrounding violent death energy seemed to be slowed down, eerily freezing in mid-air.
Time has been cut off.
Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes wide, his previously unfocused pupils contracting violently.
In front of him, amidst the swirling black mist and death rays, stood a figure that was not particularly tall, and even somewhat hunched over.
That was a human.
He held a simple, unadorned longsword in his hand, the blade trembling slightly, yet it firmly withstood Hela's devastating attack.
That back view... it's so familiar.
Lin Qiye felt a lump in his throat and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Captain...?" His voice was so hoarse he could barely speak.
The figure turned its head slightly, revealing half of a weathered yet resolute profile.
That was the pinnacle of humanity in Great Xia, the man who once guarded the nation's borders even at the cost of his lifespan.
King's Face.
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way." Wang Mian sounded a little out of breath, clearly having fought his way here as well.
"Leave the rest to us."
Those eight simple words completely relieved the tension that Lin Qiye had been holding back.
The feeling is like a child who has been bullied and beaten bloody outside, suddenly seeing their own parents standing behind them with a brick in hand.
"Wang...Wang Mian? The one from the Masked Squad?" Wu Hen's eyes widened, his jaw almost hitting his toes.
"Holy crap, a living ceiling?!"
"Trying to take my troops?" King Mian turned to look at Hela, his previously cloudy eyes instantly becoming sharper than a blade.
Did you ask me about the knife I was carrying?
"A false god of the Great Xia?!" Hela, her attack blocked, became even more enraged, and the death aura behind her instantly surged tenfold.
"court death!!"
But it's not over.
Just as Hela was stopped, the sky to her left experienced another violent fluctuation.
Seeing that the situation was turning against them, the gods on Loki's side secretly joined forces to launch an attack.
Several beams of light, imbued with divine power, shot out from the blind spots where Wang Mian was defending, their targets being Lin Qiye and Wu Hen, who were lying on the ground.
That's fucking insidious!
Wu Hen's heart, which had just settled, jumped back into his throat: "Watch out for the left!!"
Wang Mian was entangled by Hela and couldn't free his hands at all.
Just as the light spear was about to skewer the two of them, a cyan barrier appeared out of thin air.
It was like an inverted bowl, covering Lin Qiye and the others inside.
"Bang bang bang!"
The light spear struck the barrier, creating ripples, but it didn't even crack.
Immediately afterwards, two figures stepped out from the void.
A man dressed in an old-fashioned long gown, looking like a schoolteacher who had just finished class;
Another man, wearing a military overcoat, had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth and a nonchalant expression.
Master Chen, Zuo Qing.
"Wow, young people these days are really fast."
Zuo Qing glanced at the carnage on the ground, clicked his tongue twice, and then removed the blue barrier.
He casually dispersed the lingering aftershocks of divine power in the air.
"In the blink of an eye, I almost lost my child."
Lin Qiye looked at Zuo Qing's smug face and was furious.
Coughing up blood, he cursed, "This is...this is the support you were talking about? Where's the walkie-talkie?"
"Why hasn't anything happened? I almost lost my life here!"
"Ahem, that..."
Zuo Qing touched his nose, then innocently pulled a bunch of parts from his pocket.
"I just went through security... no, I accidentally sat on and broke it when I went through that spatial rift."
"You know, the equipment issued by the government is generally not of very good quality."
"Go ahead and make this up!" Lin Qiye rolled his eyes, but the huge weight in his heart was finally lifted off his shoulders.
Zuo Qing has arrived.
This means that the Great Xia's attitude has been revealed.
This matter cannot be resolved peacefully, but we cannot afford to lose either.
"Take the person away first."
Zuo Qing's playful smile vanished, his gaze sweeping over the restless gods around him, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"Master, thank you for your trouble."
Master Chen nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve,
A gentle force lifted Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, and the huddled-up Number 22, carrying them deeper into the Rainbow Bridge.
"Want to leave?!"
Hela, seeing the duck that was about to be eaten about to fly away, completely lost her mind.
"Asgardian gods, heed my command! Shatter the bridge! Kill!! Leave no one alive!!"
At her command, the surrounding space instantly erupted in excitement.
Whether it was Heimdall or the other gods who had been observing, they all unleashed their strongest auras at this moment.
Countless divine rays illuminated the sky with a kaleidoscope of colors, a terrifying firepower capable of plundering the entire border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This scene made even the well-informed Wu Hen's scalp tingle:
"We're doomed! We've stirred up a hornet's nest! Commander Zuo, can you handle this? This is their headquarters!"
"No hurries."
Faced with the overwhelming number of gods and demons, Zuo Qing didn't even blink.
Instead, he leisurely took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette in his mouth with a "snap".
He took a deep breath, exhaled a smoke ring, and looked at the enraged Hela through the smoke, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Do you really think our Great Xia has no one left?"
Zuo Qing flicked his cigarette ash; the sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
"That was the advance team."
"As for those who will be in charge... I have already invited three old gentlemen over for tea."
"Oh right, there's another one with a bad temper, he should be arriving soon."
Hela's movements suddenly froze.
Three Great Xia Gods?
Before the gods could even grasp the weight of those words, a strange feeling suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.
The wind stopped.
The clamorous fluctuations of divine power seemed to be suppressed by an invisible hand.
Immediately following was a stinging sensation.
Even from hundreds of meters away, my skin felt like it was being pricked with needles.
That was a sharpness that was pure to the extreme.
"This is……"
As if sensing something, Lin Qiye suddenly looked up at the broken clouds above.
His previously dim eyes suddenly lit up with an alarming brightness, and his body even trembled slightly with excitement.
"Om-"
A clear, melodious sword cry echoed from the heavens.
The sound wasn't loud, but it overwhelmed Hela's roar and the thunder's rumble, resonating deep within everyone's soul.
The clouds were cut open silently.
It wasn't blown away by the wind, but rather neatly cut in half by something unseen.
A suffocatingly terrifying aura was descending step by step over the shattered clouds.
