Ch 65: Clearance
The sudden explosion and the massive figure startled everyone.
And before the crowd could recover, the next moment, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
“Night Watch is handling affairs; those unrelated, leave immediately. The rest will be cleared.”
The black market immediately erupted in chaos.
“Night Watch is handling affairs?”
“What’s going on?”
In the black market town, the vendors and black market pedestrians all changed their expressions.
But the next moment, they came to their senses.
“Quick, this is an eviction order. If you don’t leave quickly, these Night Watch members will really kill people!”
“Damn, I just got here, and I haven’t done anything today… I’ve lost a lot!”
“The Night Watch has made such a big commotion; who have they confronted?”
“Who knows? D*mn it, that doesn’t matter now. Let’s go first!… News will definitely come out later.”
The entire town immediately became lively. The vendors and their helpers began to quickly pack their things, then quickly took out their tickets and crushed them, looking for the nearest exits to prepare to leave the black market.
And the ordinary pedestrians in the black market, without saying a word, quickly left. Some people took out their road permits, but some, to save on road permits, just followed along.
Those who took out their road permits naturally saw their little schemes, their faces twitching, but at this moment, there was no time to dwell on it.
In just a short while, most of the people in the black market town had dispersed.
And in the depths of the town, some people were also alarmed.
“Sir, are we leaving?”
In the depths of this town, there was a storefront with the words ‘Wanjin Pavilion’ written on it.
Don’t look at the outside, which looked like ruins, but the inside of this house was decorated luxuriously, with all kinds of electronic instruments, making it feel very technological.
A person wearing a suit, dressed as an attendant, with a white smiling mask, looked up at the turmoil outside, hesitated for a moment, then turned to ask.
Another person, also wearing a suit, with a golden smiling mask on his face, stood behind the many attendants, looked up at the fire outside, was silent for a moment, and then murmured in a low voice: “It seems the Night Watch has found the location of the End’s lair…”
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said: “Close the door, leave… This time the Night Watch should be out in full force, today… let’s take a day off.”
In the end, he didn’t plan to confront the Night Watch head-on.
Since even the clearance declaration had been issued, it meant the Night Watch was serious this time.
At this juncture, confronting the Night Watch was not a wise choice.
The Wanjin Pavilion’s background was very strong, but in the face of the Night Watch, in certain places, they had to retreat three steps.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, the attendants immediately became busy, systematically starting to shut down various instruments. Before long, the roller shutter door of the storefront was also lowered. A group of people from the Wanjin Pavilion, wearing smiling masks, left through a small door…
In this depth, there was not only the ‘Wanjin Pavilion’.
At the top of a half-collapsed high-rise building in the ruined city, a group of men in black, wearing all sorts of masks, were looking out at the battlefield.
If Qin Jin-Nian were here, he could see at a glance… that on the bodies of this group of people, more or less, some dense black mist was entwined.
At the forefront of the group was a person wearing a black robe and a bizarre blood-red bull’s head mask.
This person’s figure was quite thin, and the bull’s head mask looked out of place on his face.
“What’s going on? How did the Night Watch find us? The End’s people are so careless?”
“And they made such a big commotion, even issuing a clearance declaration… They’ve already locked onto this End branch and are determined to eradicate it.”
“Should we help them?”
This group of people was discussing in low voices.
◈◈◈
After a moment, the bull-headed person spoke: “Help what? What does it have to do with us? Want the Night Watch’s gaze to lock onto us? Humph, retreat.”
The bull-headed person sneered. His words had a decisive effect. All the low-voiced discussions ended, and the crowd took orders: “Yes, Lord Priest.”
The bull-headed person waved his hand. The next moment, a mass of black mist surged from his body. The next moment, it actually turned into countless black birds, and with a flapping sound, they flew into the sky and disappeared.
And the others immediately moved as well. Some of them moved, directly turning into streaks of black shadow, jumping down from the high-rise building. After a few jumps, they disappeared.
And some were even more conspicuous. Someone’s body melted like a wax figure, and in the blink of an eye, turned into a puddle of black mud, seeping into the ground and disappearing.
Someone quietly took a step back, their body as if merging into the water, disappearing into the air.
And someone…

And all of this, naturally, was not the whole picture.
The city, which looked like ruins, was actually a large one. Most of the area was like ruins, hiding an unknown number of dark figures.
At this moment, hearing the Night Watch’s ‘declaration’, the vast majority chose to leave.
But there were also some whose eyes flickered, somewhat tempted.
“The Night Watch and the Church of the End are at war… Although this is only a branch of the End, there are also many good things inside. With my ability…”
When thinking of this, some guys who felt their abilities were amazing not only didn’t leave but instead chose to go towards the battlefield, to see if they could fish in troubled waters.
And at this moment, the battlefield had already begun.
The sounds of booming gunshots and the sounds of screams echoed in the dark night sky.
This was in the deepest part of the city ruins. Hundreds of men in black emerged from the ruins, desperately raising their guns to return fire.
“The End’s apocalypse, my God witnesses!!”
“The End’s Lord, be with me!”
They roared like madmen, with black substances roaming on their bodies, driving them directly into madness. Wearing masks, they couldn’t hide the madness in their bodies.
Gunfire poured down, and the bullets, like raindrops, were extremely obvious in the night, like tiny meteors, shuttling between the ruins.
On the other side, shooting at them were the Night Watch, all wearing uniform attire.
The Night Watch’s combat attire was mainly earth-brown, a casual work uniform style, with loose-fitting, tailored, and convenient casual work pants, paired with an earth-brown work shirt, looking lean and neat.
Some of them were hidden between the ruins, constantly shooting at them.
But there were also some who were like ghosts, their movements were extremely fast, and even bullets couldn’t keep up with their speed. They directly charged into the End’s positions, unleashing a massacre, the light of swords and blades cutting through the air.
And among the Church of the End, people also rushed out to fight them. Their fighting was earth-shattering, and occasional stray bullets hitting them only made their bodies shake slightly, unable to harm them at all…
These were high-level Super Martial Artists.
And in the deepest part, the even more shocking battlefield was that huge, twisted creature. It roared, and the terrifying sound made people’s heads spin, ache, and even hallucinate.
In front of it, several figures were attacking madly…
Flames, thunder, giant rocks…
There was only fighting, no dialogue.
And under such circumstances, after the battle began, Qin Jin-Nian saw that the Night Watch, who had been guarding the outside, also began to quickly rush towards the battlefield.
Qin Jin-Nian’s mind moved, and his shadow reached out, turning into a motorcycle. Silent and invisible, but extremely fast, he followed…
