Chapter 139: Snowstorm Han Shaoyun

"The Night Watch team stationed in Cangnan?" Han Shaoyun's gaze swept over the group, and he shook his head. "A Night Watch team from a third-tier city can't do anything to me."

In the Night Watch's one-city-one-team system, the more important large cities typically had stronger teams. For example, the 006 team stationed in the capital, Shangjing City, gathered a group of super-strong experts, each at the "Sea" realm, with their battle power even surpassing some special teams. They were true elite forces!

But Cangnan City, being an average third-tier city, naturally had a limited Night Watch team. After all, cities of this size were common across the country. In fact, Cangnan was quite fortunate. In even more remote cities, there might not even be a "Chuan" realm expert in a Night Watch team.

In a city like this, unless a special team came to their aid, a "Sea" realm expert could reign supreme.

However, from a national perspective, there were only so many "Sea" realm experts. Who would waste time trying to dominate a third-tier city? Even if someone did, within two days, a special team would surely arrive to teach them a lesson.

Lin QiYe, seeing the members of Team 136, first felt a surge of joy, followed by worry.

If it was just him, he could rely on Nyx's Shadow Blink to escape, but now with so many people here, how could he run away?

Should he leave them behind and escape on his own?

That was impossible.

After all this time spent together, the members of Team 136 had become more than just comrades to Lin QiYe. Perhaps, as Leng Xuan had said, this place had already become his second home.

He would not abandon his family.

Lin QiYe took a deep breath, silently gripping the hilt of his sword. A look of determination appeared in his eyes.

Down below, Hong Ying removed her dark red hood, her bright eyes sparkling with a smile as she waved happily at Lin QiYe.

"QiYe brother~ we're here to rescue you!"

Seeing how carefree Hong Ying was in such a situation, Lin QiYe couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Idiot…"

In an instant, he leaned backward, falling along the edge of the building's rooftop. Just as he was about to hit the ground, his feet lightly tapped, and his body flickered like a ghost, silently landing beside the group.

Han Shaoyun, holding his long spear, silently observed this scene without making a move.

Lin QiYe stood next to Chen Muye, holding two swords. He glanced at Han Shaoyun, who stood tall, and calmly said:

"Captain, that's a Sea realm expert…"

Chen Muye nodded. "I know."

"Do you think we can win?"

"Let's give it a try."

"Alright."

Hearing Chen Muye's words, Han Shaoyun, standing on the rooftop, shook his head again. He spoke calmly:

"With just your two Chuan realm experts, four in the Pool realm, and one ordinary person… you won't be able to defeat me. There's no need for unnecessary sacrifices."

"I recognize you." Chen Muye suddenly spoke. "You're Han Shaoyun, the former captain of the Night Watch team in Gusu City."

Han Shaoyun paused for a moment. "So what if I am?"

"You were once a captain. Why are you now willing to become a dog for the Ancient God Church?" Chen Muye's eyes narrowed.

"You wouldn't understand." Han Shaoyun slowly closed his eyes, no longer meeting Chen Muye's gaze. His voice was deep and hoarse.

"When you one day watch your own team members die one by one before your eyes... perhaps you'll understand my choice."

Chen Muye frowned, about to say something, but Han Shaoyun spoke again:

"I'll warn you once more: my target is only that boy. If you leave now, I won't trouble you. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Chen Muye said nothing.

He didn't need to speak.

Because everyone already knew his choice.

Leng Xuan reached behind him, his fingers lightly touching something, and in an instant, a massive grenade launcher appeared on his shoulder. He aimed it at Han Shaoyun on the rooftop and pulled the trigger!

Whoosh—!

A grenade shot out from Leng Xuan's shoulder, trailing a white exhaust flame. It quickly reached Han Shaoyun. Han Shaoyun furrowed his brow, and his long spear flew out in a swift arc!

Boom!!!

A blinding flash of light erupted in front of Han Shaoyun. The intense blast wave nearly engulfed him, but a violent gust of wind exploded from his center, whipping up the snow on the rooftop and forcefully blowing away the grenade's explosion!

At the same time, a red-tassel spear shot out from behind Hong Ying, who had grabbed it and ignited with a rose-colored flame. She pushed off the ground with her legs, leaving a magenta trail in the air as she flew toward Han Shaoyun.

As the smoke from the explosion filled the air, a bright red spear glow flashed through the snowstorm!

Han Shaoyun swiftly sidestepped, avoiding the spear's tip. Snowflakes, whipped by the fierce wind, danced around his spear, and in a sudden sweep, he aimed the spear at Hong Ying's waist!

Just as the spear was about to strike, Hong Ying suddenly transformed into a young woman in a green dress, her long hair flowing and her eyes soft with a gentle smile...

Han Shaoyun's pupils shrank. His spear halted mid-air.

"Qingqing…" His gaze became unfocused for a moment, before a sharp clarity returned to his mind. "No… A mental illusion-type forbidden ruin?"

On the road below, Wen Qimo crossed his fingers into a strange shape, staring at Han Shaoyun with eyes that flickered with strange light.

Han Shaoyun's overwhelming spiritual power forced the illusion down, and the green-dressed woman vanished, reverting back to Hong Ying.

Wen Qimo let out a low grunt, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

That moment of hesitation gave Hong Ying the chance to change the direction of her spear, now aiming for Han Shaoyun's forehead!

Han Shaoyun's pupils narrowed. He snorted coldly and stomped heavily on the ground. A whirlwind of snow exploded outward from his position, easily sending Hong Ying and her spear flying. At the same time, the old building under his foot collapsed with a loud crash!

Han Shaoyun's figure landed steadily on the snowy ground, his long spear pointing toward the earth. The fierce wind blew away the swirling dust as he calmly walked out.

He stopped on the other side of the road, squinting slightly as he looked at Wen Qimo, whose face had paled somewhat.

"Forbidden Ruin Sequence 180, Heart Demon Binding…"

Wen Qimo straightened up and chuckled lightly. "Not a particularly strong forbidden ruin, but it seems unexpectedly effective on someone like you, plagued by heart demons…"

"Is that so?"

Han Shaoyun said calmly. He raised his long spear slightly, and in the vast snowy field, whirlwinds suddenly appeared, lifting snow into the air, swirling in every direction. The sky was soon covered with thick snow!

"Forbidden Ruin Sequence 079, Great Wind Disaster."
