Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1688: Chapter 890: He Jinqiu Is No More

The northern stronghold had already been opened by Qing Chen.

He commanded five puppets to slaughter among the positions, while all the soldiers were on edge.

The soldiers weren’t intimidated by Qing Chen’s ferocity.

After all, they had been to battlefields before and had even witnessed man-ripping giants, so they wouldn’t be scared by a human.

But the problem was that the five puppets beside Qing Chen, were their commanding officers!

For example, this infantry company was under Lao Si’s command last year and served under Lao Er four years ago.

Now that everyone recognized Lao Er and Lao Si, they didn’t dare to pull the trigger!

This was the military, and those fighting were their former commanders, who would dare to attack?

At this moment, some officers even tried to ‘awaken’ them, shouting, “Brother Er! Brother Si! We’re on the same side, don’t kill us!”

But now, how would Lao Er and Lao Si care anymore?

They couldn’t even control themselves!

So, just this moment of hesitation was enough to bring them catastrophic doom!

Once on the battlefield, Qing Chen no longer fought using the Autumn Leaf Knife.

The Knight Vital Energy of the five Black Knights was exhausted, leaving them bald at the back of their heads.

Even Qing Chen’s Knight Aura was nearly depleted, making it impossible to use extensive combat methods.

The Taboo ‘Power Bank’ could instantly restore his energy, but it could only be used once a month, and he had already used it in the closed elevator of the transport armored vehicle earlier.

He changed tactics after just a second of thought.

Qing Chen infused his Knight Aura into the puppets, then rushed through the crowd with the five puppets.

He needed to do nothing more; he only needed to take the five puppets for a lap around the stronghold, and the battlefield behind him would be cleaned out, neat and tidy as if plowed.

The efficiency of this killing was ridiculously high!

Moreover, when Knight Vital Energy condensed into Knight Aura, its sharpness was terrifying. As he passed by soldiers, it easily cut them in half, offering them up to the puppets.

Thus, the most terrifying thing after Qing Chen battled was that the ground was left without blood or bodies, nothing at all.

The soldiers seemed to have vanished into thin air.

At this point, He Jinqiu arrived, moving through the path Qing Chen had opened for him without hesitation.

He didn’t even ask if Qing Chen could hold on because he knew Qing Chen definitely could.

At this point, any words would be superfluous.

In He Jinqiu’s eyes, only the transport airship above the sky dome remained; all the flying swords from other directions had returned. Nineteen flying swords formed a sword formation, rushing towards their target like a torrent!

The Silver City Duke inside the transport airship sensed something was wrong, he immediately ordered the airship to lower altitude, he wanted to reach the ground!

800 meters

600 meters

400 meters

He Jinqiu sneered at his attempt at self-rescue, but at this 400 meters altitude, the sword torrent finally caught up!

Suddenly, nineteen flying swords simultaneously penetrated the transport airship, shredding its power cabin and turbines!

The turbines on both sides of the transport airship exploded into fiery balls with a boom, burning with thick smoke in the sky, tilting as they plummeted!

Even after destroying the airship, the nineteen flying swords did not return; He Jinqiu directed them into the airship’s hold to find the Silver City Duke!

The hold had tilted completely, with soldiers crashing heavily against the airship’s sidewalls one by one.

However, the Silver City Duke stood firmly on the airship’s hold floor, as though the shaking airship and gravity didn’t exist at all.

The nineteen flying swords twisted towards him, yet the Silver City Duke merely sneered and spun inside the hold: “At the end of your strength, the flying swords are slow, why do you think you can kill me?”

His silhouette left endless afterimages in place, yet he found each barely visible flying sword trajectory.

A crisp metallic clink echoed nineteen times in succession within the hold; the Silver City Duke used his fingertips, infused with Knight Vital Energy, to repel each and every one of the nineteen flying swords’ attacks.

Under the fingertip’s ejection, cracks appeared on each Heart Sword and Bone Sword!

On the ground, He Jinqiu suddenly felt a massive force rebounding, shocking his entire meridians, making it almost impossible to breathe due to the pain.

The Heart Sword and Bone Sword are connected to the sword cultivator himself; as they got damaged, the sword cultivator would be injured too.

He Jinqiu’s heart tightened.

Demi God Knight has always been the pinnacle of one-on-one combat; the Silver City Duke swung out with vast and swift strikes like thunder sweeping.

Even the flying swords weren’t as fast as him!

If He Jinqiu hadn’t had the glorious battle before, he could still fight.

But now, he couldn’t!

Even though the power the Silver City Duke displayed was only eighty percent of Uncle Li Dong’s, he still couldn’t fight!

He Jinqiu frowned; previously, both he and Qing Chen underestimated this Demi God Knight due to his twisted path.

The reality was, even though he forcibly catalyzed endorphins with Magic Potion to assist in the life-and-death trial, a genuine Demi God Knight was still a Demi God Knight.

He remained the pinnacle of single combat among demigods!

But the issue was, now was the best opportunity to kill the Silver City Duke.

If he allowed the opponent to regroup in Silver City, who would pay the price of life to stop this Silver City Duke next time they met on the Eastern Continent?

He Jinqiu calmly maneuvered the nineteen flying swords to retreat, confronting the Silver City Duke within the hold.
