Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1041: 641. Friends from Afar_2

What to do?

It’s not that Qing Chen has lost his fighting spirit, it’s just that right now, he truly doesn’t know how to respond.

Zard can’t be sent to deal with the Fire Element Awakener because Zard would die.

But... Qing Chen’s fighting methods are also being suppressed. The black sniper rifle is useless against transcendent beings assimilated with fire elements, the Autumn Leaf Knife as a physical attack means is ineffective too, and Qing Chen himself is more capable in close combat.

If he gets close, he might immediately suffer severe burns.

Should he use cloud gas? If he were A-Class, it might be worth a try, but he is only B-Class. Even if cloud gas can harm the Fire Element Awakener, it can at most seriously injure, not kill.

No solution.

This made Qing Chen realize a problem: he is far from being invincible. Even though he has the dual identities of a Knight and Awakener, with many changes, they are useless in the face of absolute power.

Having sent off Shadow, his most important task is to continue upgrading! Continue challenging the life-and-death barrier!

Qing Chen glanced at the sky, then at Shadow, and said fiercely, "When the fight starts, try to find a way to take Mr. Shadow away."

Qing Chen: "Zard, you deal with the one from the Chen Clan, I’ll hold off the one playing with fire!"

Saying this, the two rushed towards opposite sides of the valley.

Qing Chen fired his black sniper rifle.

But the Fire Element Awakener just laughed, not even bothering to dodge: "The gun is useless against me!"

There was a teasing tone in his voice, like a cat playing with a mouse.

While speaking, Qing Chen suddenly exhaled a mouthful of cloud gas. The white cloud gas rolled like auspicious clouds, instantly filling the entire valley.

The Fire Element Awakener suddenly felt uneasy: "What is this thing!"

In the blink of an eye, the flames on his body seemed to be met with a fire extinguisher, rapidly subsiding, almost forcing him to reveal his original form!

Qing Chen was delighted, it worked!

His cloud gas could actually affect elemental beings!

But before he could be happy for long, the Awakener’s body suddenly emitted a strong glow, and the flames that were suppressed exploded instantly, violently knocking Qing Chen off his feet.

The Awakener laughed coldly amidst the flames: "It seems you have never encountered an A-Class Fire Element Awakener. You wouldn’t think that with just this, you could kill me, right? But, I underestimated you."

Before he came, Qing Chen’s information had already been thoroughly investigated.

Sniper ability, the peak physique of a Knight, Autumn Leaf Knife, Thunder Awakener, skilled in disguise.

Judging from these abilities, none could pose a threat to the Fire Element Awakener, which is why he was so fearless.

Not everyone is as cautious as Jindai Yunhe.

So, Qing Chen had just genuinely hurt him. Though not fatal, it was still unbearably painful.

But he couldn’t reveal it.

Qing Chen got up from the ground, feeling that the explosive flames just now had shaken his heart and lungs, and even burned off half of his right eyebrow.

What to do? Even cloud gas doesn’t seem to help against this opponent.

Qing Chen clearly felt that if he were A-Class, he could extinguish this Awakener with one breath of cloud gas, yet the other seemed unfazed, leaving him perplexed.

He looked towards the other side and saw Zard had crippled an arm and was entangled with Chen Bing, with stone spikes sprouting throughout the valley.

Chen Bing had already crushed his second painting scroll, from which a Vermilion Bird dragging fiery tail wings flew out, spewing fire down.

Upon seeing the flames, Zard instinctively retreated rapidly but was too late.

His entire right arm was glazed by the fiercely blooming fire.

Zard retreated while yelling wildly and still said excitedly when he reached Qing Chen: "Boss, this time he didn’t burn Zhi Lanxing!"

Qing Chen remained silent.

"I’m sorry," Qing Chen said, "I’ve dragged you into this."

Saying this, Qing Chen closed his eyes.

He had heard people say... Awakeners can overdraw their lives, burning themselves as fuel for their awakened abilities.

Today, he was about to try it.

Just then, someone suddenly laughed from the stone cliff above the valley: "Wow, it looks so interesting here, finally made it in time. Hey, friend, need some help?"

Friend?

Sun Chu Ci and his team looked up in astonishment and saw Yang Yang standing with a young man in white hunting clothes, smilingly looking down at the valley.

Jindai Yunlo.

The chosen one of the Jindai Consortium, the true master of the Secret Bureau of the Outer World, who inexplicably appeared here.

Upon seeing Jindai Yunlo, Chen Bing’s expression immediately changed.

Because he knew Jindai Yunlo and knew that this person is currently the top player under the Demigods in the Jindai Consortium.

The signature white hunting clothes are now Jindai Yunlo’s calling card. He looks more like a figure from a painting than Chen Bing, floating out of this world.

The Chen Clan’s ability is similar to the Onmyoji, but the Onmyoji’s shikigami are even stronger than the figures from painting scrolls.

Yet he couldn’t understand why someone from the Qing’s Family would be acquainted with the Jindai Onmyoji and even become friends?

Why!?

Qing Chen looked up at Jindai Yunlo and laughed; this was the reason Yang Yang had disappeared.

Jindai Yunlo also smiled and looked at him: "Hey, friend, you owe me a drink after this battle, you can’t avoid it anymore with tricks."

Qing Chen smiled: "Why insist on having a drink with me, everyone gets what they need."

"Oh, a 37-degree person, why can you say such cold things. Saying this makes me, as a friend, feel sad," Jindai Yunlo said with a smile, "I came here for our friendship!"

A few days ago, when Qing Chen left city number 10 and saw Shadow unwilling to open the Door of Shadow to directly reach Taboo Land 002, he already guessed this journey would be risky.

So, Qing Chen called Jindai Yunlo, only asking one question: "Soon, many experts will want to kill me. Want to see?"

Jindai Yunlo came.

Actually, this matter itself had already crossed Qing Chen’s limits. He once wanted to be like Shadow, not dealing in any transactions with anyone from Jindai Consortium.

But he clearly felt Jindai Yunlo was different.

Even if one day they will inevitably become enemies, before that day comes, they can first be friends.

Jindai Yunlo said: "Don’t try to avoid the drink anymore, you can’t escape. Come on, let’s finish this battle first."

In a flash, the shikigami behind Jindai Yunlo manifested one by one.

ATS-010, Hundred-Eyed Demon. In the short time they hadn’t seen each other, the terrifying shikigami had increased to 63 eyes on its arms.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon floated in the air in white clothing, its stature larger than Chen Bing’s Imperial Guard.

ATS-011, Shiki Hori. It hid in the mist, drifting downwards, skimming the edges of the battlefield.

ATS-013, Ma Mian Luo Cha. It wielded a huge Nine-ringed Blade and leaped down the mountain, chopping towards the Imperial Guard’s head.

ATS-018, Skeleton Woman with a Bone Sword in her hand, her long hair tied into a ponytail, wearing worn-out armor. Clearly just a skeleton, yet somehow graceful.

ATS-091, Tian Jingxia, a humanoid red demon, climbing along the mountain wall like a gecko.

ATS-229, Bai Rongyi, a white dragon.

Jindai Yunlo jumped onto Bai Rongyi’s head, grabbing its two horns, and laughed aloud: "I’ll take care of that nuisance Fire Element. After being burned, shikigami just need to return to the Divine Bridge to recuperate. If you’re disfigured by the flames, you’ll never be able to be the top host in city number 22 again."

Yang Yang curiously asked, "Host?"

Qing Chen’s expression changed: "Don’t talk nonsense."

Jindai Yunlo stood atop the dragon’s head as Bai Rongyi blew icy breath at the Fire Element Awakener. Ice met fire, instantly stirring the air currents in the valley, causing a wild wind!

...

...

Outside the valley, a reconnaissance aircraft hovered over the valley.

Countless soldiers crossed tens of miles, gathering towards Qing Chen’s location. They wore exoskeleton armor, traversing the wilderness like space marines jumping.

In the forward base on the wilderness, someone whispered a few words next to the chessboard.

Chen Yu stood up, inclined on the back of the Green Ox and laughed: "Even someone like Jindai Yunlo has shown up? It seems they truly have no cards left. Senior, let’s go, if we don’t head there, they’ll break through the blockade."

Li Bingxi looked up at him and said: "What I want has not yet arrived."

At this time, the Qing’s Family’s advisor had already returned: "We agree to replace the resources you mentioned. We can arrange departure now, Deer Island can take over after you set off."

Only then did Li Bingxi finally rise.
