Lin Qiye picked up his phone, now feeling rather awkward. He didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Answer it. If you don't answer, I'll start to worry about you." Zhang Luochen saw that Lin Qiye looked hesitant.

“But him.” Lin Qiye pointed at Scorpion One.

At this moment, Scorpion was like a commodity, letting the two of them point and comment on him.

“He can’t kill me,” Zhang Luochen said.

Lin Qiye thought about it and realized that it made sense. Meanwhile, Scorpion One, who had been ignored all along, had already exceeded his limit of patience.

In an instant, he disappeared from his spot, his short knife aimed straight at Lin Qiye's face. Lin Qiye dodged backward, and Zhang Luochen reacted quickly, delivering a side kick to Scorpion One's side. Scorpion One's full strength erupted.

Zhang Luochen felt as if he had kicked a steel plate, and a tingling sensation ran through his foot.

Seeing Lin Qiye retreat, Xie Yi quickly chased after him, but as soon as he went out, Zhang Luochen's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"You..." Xie Yifeng was furious. He instantly changed the position of the short knife in his hand and stabbed it towards Zhang Luochen's neck.

Zhang Luochen leaned back, successfully dodging the attack, and at the same time, his entire body released electricity again.

This time, however, Scorpion One did not simply withstand the attack. Instead, he dodged by leaping off the spot and then pounced on Lin Qiye again.

However, Scorpion couldn't shake off Zhang Luochen's figure at all. A straight knife crackling with electricity slashed towards Scorpion's chest. Scorpion desperately blocked it, and a blinding spark instantly flew between the straight knife and the short knife.

"Where are you going? Your opponent is me." Zhang Luochen's straight blade gave Xie Yi no room to escape.

“He’s more expensive!” Before Scorpion could finish speaking, Zhang Luochen felt a wave of embarrassment.

"Good grief, I've been looked down upon. Don't blame me then." Zhang Luochen's speed suddenly increased, and Scorpion was momentarily unable to keep up.

Zhang Luochen even had time to glance in Lin Qiye's direction. Sure enough, Lin Qiye was currently making a phone call, seemingly oblivious to everything.

"Auntie, I won't be home this year, so your New Year's Eve dinner should be more lavish."

“Ah Jin is growing, you need to make him eat more.”

"Ah Jin, I'm not home, is there anyone clumsy?"

The peaceful scene over there contrasted sharply with Zhang Luochen's side, and Scorpion Yi revealed a sinister smile.

"Kid, look at others, aren't they very warm and cozy? Then look at yourself, aren't you very lonely?"

Lonely? Zhang Luochen was indeed very lonely in the past, but in this dangerous world of Godslayer, he never felt lonely.

There were 136 squads, and the care they gave me was something I had never experienced before. There were also the instructors and partners in the training camp. The feeling of being valued by my comrades sometimes felt unreal.

In addition, there's my favorite protagonist—Lin Qiye. Without realizing it, he's become my friend. In the future, I'll be able to join the Nightfall Squad. If I have the chance, I want to save everyone and make those regrets no longer regrets.

"Although I am an orphan without parents, I already have many friends around me!" Zhang Luochen disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Kid, you've used up all your tricks, haven't you?" Scorpion licked his lips, his expression extremely ferocious.

"Really? You haven't used this move since your cultivation level improved." Zhang Luochen's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"The Eight Gates Formation, the fifth gate, the Gate of Closure!"

A beam of emerald green light enveloped Zhang Luochen's entire body, his veins bulged, and an unprecedentedly powerful aura swept over everyone.

Even Xie Yi was stunned and took several steps back, thinking that he had already escaped Zhang Luochen's attack range. Moreover, he had even thought of an escape route.

However, the next second, Zhang Luochen appeared directly in front of Scorpion One, their faces only inches apart.

Zhang Luochen, nicknamed "Biao Lianhua," immediately wrapped his arms around Xie Yi.

Scorpion was stunned. He tried to break free of his restraints, but his strength seemed to have been drained, and he couldn't muster any power at all.

Zhang Luochen leaped high into the air, then crashed straight to the ground, slamming Scorpion One to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted from Scorpion One's mouth.

"You can see my eyes now." The Sharingan's genjutsu instantly confused Sasori.

Before Scorpion could react, he felt a strange sensation in his body, as if he had entered a strange space.

The next second, a straight blade pierced through Sasori's body, blood gushed out instantly, Sasori's life began to ebb away, and the illusion was automatically dispelled at that moment.

"He dodged all the short swords and stones, so why could he still teleport here?" Scorpion couldn't understand it at all. He had tried his best to avoid Zhang Luochen's teleportation route, so why could he suddenly appear in front of him?

"Who says it can only be marked on objects?"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion looked down at his arm and saw a mark in an inconspicuous place, which overlapped with the tattoo on his body.

Scorpion's body slowly collapsed.

Lin Qiye appeared in front of Zhang Luochen, holding a straight sword.

"You're going to steal kills like this?" Zhang Luochen had barely finished speaking when he staggered, almost losing his balance.

Fortunately, Lin Qiye reacted quickly and caught Zhang Luochen, saying, "Since you're here, I should help you out. After all, you're family. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of mental energy was used up." Zhang Luochen sheathed his straight sword. "Are you done with your call?"

Lin Qiye nodded: "Indeed, if I hadn't received the call then, my aunt would have been worried. Thank you."

"You're too kind, we're friends," Zhang Luochen said dismissively.

The snow fell less and less, and the sky gradually darkened.

Zhang Luochen and Lin Qiye sat on the roof of a building, looking towards the low houses.

"This feeling must be unpleasant," Zhang Luochen asked.

"It's alright, but I don't regret joining," Lin Qiye said.

“Actually, even if you hadn’t come, they wouldn’t have been able to hurt them.” At that moment, Leng Xuan suddenly appeared behind them.

"There's one forbidden item from [Weiyang], used to protect family members," Leng Xuan explained about [Weiyang].

"Luckily, I'm an orphan. It seems I've saved the captain some money." Zhang Luochen smiled wryly.

“Squad 136 is your home.” Leng Xuan said this with his expression still cold.

"You can come to my house for dinner sometime and try my cooking." Lin Qiye smiled knowingly.

Zhang Luochen felt a warmth in his heart: "I really didn't expect to have such a special year."

"Zhang Luochen".

"Ok?"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"
