Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1206: Chapter 695: The Death of Jindai Chika! (Part 3)

As they spoke, the swarm of rats surged again.

Qing Chen’s heart tightened as he looked up at Uncle Li Dong, but he found that his master wasn’t looking down but beyond the swarm of rats.

”What happened, why is Master looking over there?” Qing Chen wondered in his heart.

Suddenly, a thunderous shout of ”Kill!” erupted on the periphery of the swarm of rats.

Qing Chen was stunned.

...

...

Outside the swarm of rats, Xiao San was leading the refugees from District Three and their families, each carrying weapons, to besiege the rat swarm.

At this moment, they no longer feared the rats, appearing more like the humans before the swarm who would stomp a rat to death at first sight.

The tide of people surged behind the rat swarm, everyone had torn their clothes into rags and wrapped them around their necks; some even wore red long johns around their necks, found from who knows where.

The refugees who first participated in the battle were exhausted, but those flooding in from the Key of Gate had rested for a full seven days.

Under Xiao San’s leadership, everyone was united in their resolve, vowing to exterminate the rats that devoured their kin.

They first chased the rats to the vicinity of the city walls and saw that the metallic storm on the walls stopped attacking humans and turned its fury on the rat swarm instead.

Next, as the swarm of rats suddenly retreated inward, they followed and stormed back into the city.

At the front of the crowd, Xiao San shouted, ”Elder Qin, Qing Shuli! We haven’t seen the Rat King yet, I suspect it’s still in the sewers. Lead your team of pipe workers from District Three and drag it out, they’re most familiar with the sewers!”

”Got it!” Qing Shuli led a group away.

Xiao San pursued the rat swarm, and as Jindai Chika negotiated with Qing Chen, he signaled the people to stealthily approach and split into flanking positions when the swarm stopped.

As soon as the swarm of rats moved, they charged forward with a cacophony of battle cries!

The once terrifying swarm of rats was now surrounded by humans.

Then, everyone witnessed Uncle Li Dong’s second breath of cloud gas, which forcibly blew away two-thirds of the swarm of three hundred thousand rats.

Like Qing Chen, using the cloud gas drained the Knight Vital Energy completely; Uncle Li Dong had just expelled a breath a few hours earlier, and his Knight Vital Energy hadn’t fully recovered.

Though it revealed to his disciple that he had stolen learning, how could pride compare to hundreds of thousands of lives? If he didn’t act, many more refugees would die fighting the rat swarm.

On the battlefield within the swarm, Jindai Chika’s face was as dark as it could get. He said to the Genetic Warrior beside him, ”Hold him off, buy me some time...”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Uncle Li Dong’s voice floating down from above, ”Save your strength, it’s pointless.”

Qing Yi watched silently, seeing only a blur before his eyes as six consecutive cracking sounds echoed in the air.

In less than a second, the six Genetic Warriors slammed into the street-side buildings with their bones shattered, sliding down like a painting.

No one present even saw Uncle Li Dong’s figure!

Qing Chen smiled and said to Qing Yi, ”This is the power of a Knight in the demigod realm, hitting people as if hanging a painting, just a light touch can shatter all the bones in a person’s body.”

At this moment, Jindai Chika tried to flee, but Uncle Li Dong caught up to him, and with four more crisp sounds, Jindai Chika’s arms and legs were broken, leaving him lying immobile on the ground.

Uncle Li shook his head and said, ”A person’s life is limited. To pursue illusory time, you resorted to seizing your descendants, falling from a demigod to A-Class, and then forcefully clawing back to the demigod realm with your dirty methods.”

”Dirty methods?” Qing Chen asked curiously, ”I heard before that once you possess, you can’t return to being a demigod, yet this old thing has lived for hundreds of years. How does he maintain his demigod status each time?”

Uncle Li Dong sighed and said, ”I used to have the same doubts as you until I saw this biological pollution this time and realized he was devouring his former bodies. I’m afraid Deer Island has done this too, but their people likely aren’t as mentally robust as he is, so they haven’t done it many times.”

Hearing this, Qing Yi almost vomited on the spot.

Uncle Li Dong analyzed, ”A demigod’s corpse is like a key, or a permit. When he first ascended to demigod, his brain and body were granted permission by the world. After seizing, he lost the ability to climb to the demigod realm again, so he ate his former body, deceiving the world’s will time and time again. His power also weakened repeatedly.”

Uncle Li Dong: ”Back in the day, an Onmyoji demigod could command 24 Shikigami, and during the Genji era, demigods could even control the Hyakki Night Trip. But this old thing, after multiple possessions, weakened to the point where he could only command 12 Shikigami. I guess he’s already felt his repeated deceptions were weakening his power, and this time, even if he eats his body again, it’s impossible to ascend to the demigod realm anew. So he’s planning to use his body for something else. Despicable, hateful, disgusting.”

Qing Chen remained silent. Although Jindai Chika looked at everyone resentfully without speaking, Master’s speculation should be the answer.

Otherwise, where did Jindai Chika’s former bodies go?

The extrusion beyond the three realms by Taboo ACE-039 truly helped Jindai Chika a lot!

Qing Chen said, ”These evil hundreds of years are enough to overturn human views.”

”It’s over,” Uncle Li Dong chuckled, ”Didn’t expect it to end with us two as master and disciple.”

However, at this moment, Jindai Chika’s eyes suddenly turned scarlet as he said, ”Even if I become a vengeful ghost, I won’t spare you, Knights!”

His face twisted, the blood vessels in his neck slowly turned black and spread to his face.

Eventually, his heart stopped suddenly, and he was completely breathless!

Uncle Li Dong was taken aback, ”Wait, I checked his mouth, there’s no hidden poison!”

”There are too many ways to hide poison,” Qing Chen said, ”Master, it’s not your oversight. Who knows where he hid it? Dead is dead. Also, I’m not sure he’s actually dead.”

Though he had some doubts in mind, he needed to do something to prove it.

With that, Qing Chen raised his hand and shot Jindai Chika twelve more times, until it was certain the other party could no longer possibly come back to life.

”The way you shoot a dead man twelve times, you really are like your brother...” Uncle Li Dong sighed.

In an instant, three streams of light flew out from Jindai Chika’s corpse and drilled straight into Qing Chen’s wrist!

It was also at this moment, ATS-002 Shuten-doji, ATS-006 Hannya, ATS-007 Great Tengu, ATS-038 Fei Touman, ATS-047 Seibozu, ATS-271 Buran Buran, all belonged to the Knight Organization!

Those top-ranked Shikigami will all become part of Jinguji Maki ’Hyakki Night Trip!’ in the future!

Qing Chen smiled and said, ”Master, you missed a detail, he’s faking death.”

”Hmm? Why,” Uncle Li Dong asked curiously.

”He was betting that after taking the drug and entering a false death state, we’d directly bury him,” Qing Chen said, ”Although the probability is small, it’s worth a gamble in a desperate situation. But I knew he wasn’t dead because three Shikigami were left in his body and hadn’t reached me.”

”What an old fox, he still thought he could cheat death at this stage,” Uncle Li Dong mused and said, ”Although it’s only A-Class, bury him in Taboo Land 002. In a few decades, the old guys there will harvest the taboo material he extrudes.”

Qing Chen asked curiously, ”So, is that how the taboo materials in Taboo Lands come about?”

Planting taboo materials?
