Feeling the fierce aura coming towards him, the smile on Lin Qiye's lips froze, and a sense of life and death crisis suddenly surged into his heart!

“Get out of the way!”

Lin Qiye roared, and the somersault cloud quickly split into two halves. A thick stick shadow almost brushed past everyone's bodies and fell into the sea, creating two huge waves that almost submerged the island!

Looking at the tall figure standing in the air, Lin Qiye's heart was beating wildly and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The stick that was just struck was not the whip that Wang Qing had deliberately acted out before... Commander Nie really used all his strength in this blow, and hit their bodies fiercely!

If they hadn't dodged in time, this one blow would have knocked them back to the island, where they would have been dizzy and had to lie in bed for a few days.

Nie Jinshan's gaze swept across the crowd. His eyes, which were originally sharp and deep, were now extremely complicated:

“I can understand how you feel right now, but a soldier’s duty is to obey orders.

They will let you off the hook because of their personal feelings... but I won't do that. If someone has to be the bad guy, I'll be the one."

Hearing this, Lin Qiye's face became solemn. He knew that he could not avoid this tough battle today no matter what.

"Run separately!" Lin Qiye growled, riding on his somersault cloud, and rushed towards Nie Jinshan's face!

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yuan, Baili Pangpang, An Qingyu and Jiang Er, without any hesitation, quickly flew in completely different directions.

Sensing the intentions of Lin Qiye and others, Nie Jinshan narrowed his eyes slightly. Holding the black stick, his body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the oncoming Lin Qiye!

A huge sense of oppression came from above. Lin Qiye placed his palm on the hilt of the [Zhanbai] sword, his eyes fixed on Nie Jinshan's movements, his spirit tensed to the extreme!

Two figures cut through the sky and were about to collide with each other in an instant!

At the moment when Nie Jinshan was about to bring down the stick, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes. His fingertips pushed the handle of the [Zhanbai] knife, and his figure disappeared in an instant. He penetrated Nie Jinshan's figure in the void world and rushed upwards at full speed without looking back!

Nie Jinshan's stick missed and his brows furrowed slightly. He caught a glimpse of something in the air above him and spoke calmly:

"If you hide in the void, I can't do anything to you?"

He took the black stick in his palm like a javelin, and slowly locked onto Lin Qiye in the air. His mental strength rose at an astonishing speed!

An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Lin Qiye's heart!

Can he still sense me?

Lin Qiye didn't have time to look back. If he stopped for a moment, Nie Jinshan would immediately come over and he would have nowhere to escape.

He took a deep breath, a hint of night spread from the corner of his clothes, and he was ready to take the blow!

Just when Lin Qiye was nervous, a light exclamation came from behind him, and the sense of crisis that was hanging over him at that moment disappeared in an instant!

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, and without time to think about what happened, his figure flew several kilometers away in an instant!

Nie Jinshan maintained the posture of throwing the black stick, frozen in place like a sculpture. His brows were getting more and more furrowed. He glanced behind him and spoke in a deep voice:

"Senior Gong Yang, what do you mean?"

A gentle and helpless female voice came out from the void: "Nie Jinshan... you are too serious. This time, let them go."

"Is this what the Marquis meant?"

"……yes."

Nie Jinshan was silent for a moment, then he sighed, "I understand."

Nie Jinshan's stiff body returned to normal. He slowly put down the black stick in his hand, glanced at Lin Qiye who was rapidly climbing over the wall of sea water, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the island.

"It seems... I am slow again."

…

The top of the sea wall.

Five figures flew into the air and rushed out of the cage-like water wall at the same time. The rising sun at dawn dyed the distant sea surface golden and also made a faint light appear in their eyes.

They looked at each other from a distance, and smiles appeared on their lips at the same time.

A cloud quickly passed across the sky, catching everyone steadily. Lin Qiye stood in front of the somersault cloud, looked back at the island that was gradually moving away, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"We...are out."

Baili Pangpang lay on the soft clouds, looking at the rising sun in the distance, his eyes full of emotion:

“I really miss it…”

"Yes, it was the same scene when we jumped out of the fasting house." Cao Yuan held the straight knife in his arms, his eyes reflecting the sun, and he was lost in memories.

"You say... after so many years, have we changed?" An Qingyu suddenly asked.

"I've gotten older." Baili Pangpang smiled, and then added, "Of course, I've also gotten stronger."

"Besides that?"

Cao Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I can't explain it clearly. It feels like something has changed, but it also feels like nothing has changed... Maybe this is what growth is."

Song——!!

Just as everyone was chatting, a whistling sound came from behind!

The moment they heard this voice, everyone jumped up from their Somersault Clouds at the same time. Baili Pangpang's face looked a little ugly:

"No way... We have already flown hundreds of miles, how can we still catch up?"

"...It's a gun." Lin Qiye's mental power captured the object moving towards them at high speed, and he said seriously, "It's the Marquis' gun!"

When they heard the word "Marquis", everyone's eyes froze. If General Huo didn't let them go... then no matter how fast they ran, they would be caught back.

The speed of the Somersault Cloud was already extremely fast, but the spear stained with blood scabs was even faster. It flew over everyone's heads in the blink of an eye. Before they could react, a roaring golden dragon suddenly flew out from the spear!

Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted!

The golden dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed the Somersault Cloud and everyone in one gulp, but its figure only penetrated everyone's bodies like an illusion and then dimmed a little.

Lin Qiye and the others only felt their brains go blank, and then a surge of power poured into their bodies from the surface of their skin, turning into a warm current circulating in their bodies.

After passing through the crowd, the golden dragon circled half a circle in the air and flew back into the spear!

The spear hummed softly, then quickly changed direction and flew back to the island.

As the spear disappeared, a deep voice slowly echoed in everyone's ears.

"This marquis and the other heroes must guard the destiny of the country and cannot participate in the war. This strand of Great Xia's destiny is given to you. It will have a miraculous effect in the war within two days."

As their consciousness gradually regained clarity under the impact of national destiny, Lin Qiye and the others also heard Huo Qubing's voice clearly. They raised their hands in confusion, only to see a thumb-sized miniature golden dragon slowly spinning around their wrists...
