Lin Qiye took the straight sword from Zhang Luochen. His eyes were still bloodshot, and his hand unconsciously gripped the sword tightly.

The rain is still falling.

The rain soaked them both.

"I'll go first," Zhang Luochen said in an unusually cold tone. "Perfect timing to test out my new ability."

With a single step, Zhang Luochen vanished from his spot. Thanks to Might Guy's physical techniques, Zhang Luochen's speed had undergone a qualitative leap.

The demonic face on the Ghost King's chest twisted as if it were letting out a roar, but now its voice was completely inaudible as it charged toward Zhang Luochen.

"Sharingan!"

With his three-tomoe Sharingan activated instantly, Zhang Luochen was now able to detect Oni-Masked King's movements much faster.

With a flying kick, Zhang Luochen felt as if he had kicked a steel plate. However, he could also clearly feel the increase in his own strength. He instantly changed his movements and punched the ghost face in the chest.

The Ghost-Faced King felt a sharp pain and staggered back several steps.

Zhang Luochen knew that the Ghost Face King's head was its true form, and to completely destroy the Ghost Face King, he had to completely destroy the ghost face.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

Zhang Luochen unleashed a massive fireball at the Ghost-Faced King, instantly illuminating the sky.

Seeing this, the Ghost-Faced King realized it was too late to escape. He raised one arm to protect his chest and blocked the fireball, but his arm still felt a burning sensation.

A dazzling golden light appeared behind Zhang Luochen. Even without turning around, Zhang Luochen knew that this was from Lin Qiye's [Mortal Divine Realm].

His eyes gleamed with a golden light, like golden pupils, and he held a straight sword in his hand.

The instant Ghost Faced King blocked the fireball, Lin Qiye moved as well, instantly appearing in front of Ghost Faced King and slashing his straight sword at Ghost Faced King's chest.

With only one arm left, the Ghost-Faced King swiftly reached out towards Lin Qiye using the sharp claws of that one hand.

It was nighttime, and with the help of the Starry Night Dancer and his terrifying dynamic vision, Lin Qiye could see Ghost Face King's movements clearly as well.

The straight sword in his hand swiftly slashed towards the Ghost-Faced King's chest. Upon seeing this, the Ghost-Faced King retreated continuously, trying to dodge the attack.

"Eight Gates Formation, First Gate, Open!"

A powerful aura emanated from Zhang Luochen.

"The second gate, the Gate of Rest!"

Zhang Luochen vanished from his spot in an instant.

Even Lin Qiye's powerful dynamic vision couldn't catch Zhang Luochen's movements in time.

The next second, the Ghost-Faced King, which was retreating continuously, suddenly felt a piercing pain in its back as Zhang Luochen's fist slammed hard into its back.

The Ghost-Faced King roared in pain and kicked Zhang Luochen behind him. At the same time, Lin Qiye flashed in front of the Ghost-Faced King and slashed at the ghost face with his straight knife.

The Ghost King's claws came crashing down toward Lin Qiye's face. Lin Qiye shifted his stance, and his straight sword slashed at the ghost face once more.

"The third gate, the gate of life!"

Zhang Luochen increased his speed again, spinning rapidly towards the Ghost-Faced King.

"The fourth gate, the gate of injury!"

Zhang Luochen wrapped his arms around Ghost Face King from behind, saying, "Look at me, Li Lianhua."

Zhang Luochen embraced the Ghost-Faced King, soaring straight into the sky before slamming him heavily into the ground, instantly creating a large crater.

"Lin Qiye, lend me your knife!" Zhang Luochen shouted. Without thinking, Lin Qiye threw the straight knife in his hand to Zhang Luochen.

"This time, let the ephemeral moon under the stars shine once more." Zhang Luochen gripped the straight blade tightly, and a black crescent moon shot straight at the Ghost Face King, severing its other arm in response.

The straight sword returned to Lin Qiye's hand. Lin Qiye looked at Zhang Luochen and said, "You can copy this move too?"

Zhang Luochen was overjoyed. While he couldn't copy the Divine Ruins, he could still use his Sharingan to copy ordinary Forbidden Ruins.

"Lin Qiye, let's deal with the Ghost-Faced King together." Zhang Luochen raised his head slightly. "It's a rainy night. If there's rain, there should also be thunder. I wonder if that method will work?"

Lin Qiye gripped his straight sword tightly. Ghost Face King slowly stood up, facing Lin Qiye, wanting to let out a series of roars, but it could only become a silent roar.

Zhang Luochen stood behind Ghost Face King, the two of them one in front and one behind, Zhang Luochen's hands forming a claw.

"Chidori!"

The next second, a bolt of lightning appeared in Zhang Luochen's hand, and a cry of an eagle echoed through the sky.

"Sure enough, having mastered Lightning Release, he has also learned this move." Zhang Luochen flashed forward and charged straight at the Ghost-Faced King.

At the same time, Lin Qiye also moved, his straight sword slashing directly at the Ghost Face King's face. The two arrived at the same time and made their moves simultaneously.

The straight blade pierced the demon king's face, and lightning also pierced its body.

The Ghost King's body slowly collapsed, and the ghost face on its chest instantly began to melt away. This time, the Ghost King was completely dead.

Zhang Luochen suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet, almost falling to the ground. The same thing happened to Lin Qiye.

The two stumbled at the same time, but managed to catch each other by raising their hands, thus avoiding falling to the ground together.

"It seems that my mental energy is still overdrawn," Lin Qiye said.

"I just need to rest for a while," Zhang Luochen said. He had just opened the Eight Gates Formation. Although he only opened four gates, at that moment, he felt his spiritual energy flowing away like water.

Lin Qiye walked towards Zhao Kongcheng's corpse. "Does anyone even need to be a hero like this?"

"Behind every comfortable life, there must be someone bearing the burden," Zhang Luochen said.

“Yes, there is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life. But is it really worth it? Those who are indulging in debauchery are still indulging in debauchery. And who remembers the heroes?” Lin Qiye said.

"I believe that even if there were a hundred choices, Uncle Zhao would still make the same choice. This is the mission of a soldier." Zhang Luochen had come to deeply understand what it takes to become a Night Watchman after spending time with him. However, Lin Qiye was different from him. Lin Qiye had his own family, while he was just an orphan with no ties to him.

"Ten years, I'll guard this place for him for ten years," Lin Qiye said, as if he had made a decision.

“Ten years…” Zhang Luochen murmured to himself. He knew what these ten years meant to Lin Qiye. So many things had happened in these ten years.

The great calamity in Cangnan City, the establishment of the Nightfall Squad, the Baili Family Banquet... and everything else, including becoming Commander Lin.

Lin Qiye picked up Zhao Kongcheng's body and, facing the low house, as if saying goodbye, said, "Auntie, Xiaoqi is leaving now. Please forgive me."

The rain stopped.

Two teenagers slowly emerged from the darkness. One of them was carrying a man's corpse and had a knife on his back.

Hongying stood frozen in place, staring at the two teenagers in front of her.

"Junior Zhang Luochen"

"Junior Lin Qiye"

"Sending off General Zhao Kongcheng on his triumphant return!"

Their voices merged into an even more powerful one, proclaiming to the world.
