On top of the ruins of the city wall, a black severed finger was nailed to the surface of the stone by the Tiancong Cloud Sword.

"It seems that this time, the [Key to the Door] guy is also serious...... To launch an attack of this magnitude across the river of time, he should have paid a great price. The sound of the severed finger came out slowly, and he looked at the space-time vortex that was gradually dissipating in the distance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Is it over......

A wicker with eyeballs poked out of the phantom smoke, wrapped around the hilt of the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and was about to pull out the sword body with force, when a spear roared and flew from afar, instantly blasting this wicker into slag!

The tip of the spear pierced through the blood mist, stabbing precisely at the side of the severed finger, and he turned slightly in the direction where the spear was flying, as if he was a little displeased.

In the arc of dust, a figure in blood-colored armor and a young man in ragged clothes were walking slowly.

The moment he saw the young man, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:

"Is that you? Why aren't you dead yet?! ”

"The Key to the Door didn't kill me...... Surprises you, right? Lin Qiye's expression was extremely calm.

The fingertips of the severed fingers faced Lin Qiye and did not speak again, it stands to reason that the [Key to the Door] has paid such a big price, and there is no reason not to completely erase Lin Qiye...... He didn't know what was wrong.

But Lin Qiye is still alive, which means that he is in crisis again.

"How is this possible...... How did you survive? The severed finger faced Lin Qiye, as if sensing a hint of change in him, and his voice was a little incredulous, "You hid your cause and effect?!" Erased one's presence in the long river of time? ”

Lin Qiye said lightly, "Isn't it because you are so sure that there is no hope for mankind, is it because you have the [Key to the Door], an all-knowing and all-seeing person, who always watches the past and the future...... Now, there are variables out of your control.

You said...... What will I do? ”

The severed finger stared at Lin Qiye, slightly startled in his heart.

He had thought that Lin Qiye's ability would be very tricky, but he didn't expect that Lin Qiye would be able to hide his existence directly...... In this way, even the [Key to the Gate] will not be able to see his actions, and his past and future are all hidden, even if the [Key to the Gate] wants to change history, it will not affect him at all.

In other words, Lin Qiye was completely beyond their control, and his cause and effect were only in his own hands!

Imagine that this time, it is almost impossible to accurately set up an ambush for Lin Qiye.

Severed Finger's mind turned quickly.

Lin Qiye was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from a distance.

"Lin Qiye!"

Lin Qiye turned his head to look, and saw Chloe, who was covered in injuries, carrying the corpse of a willow branch, running quickly towards here.

She looked at Lin Qiye, who was covered in injuries, as if relieved, and walked here, "Just now I saw thunder and lightning erupting over there, and I thought it was you who was inside...... Are you okay? ”

Lin Qiye glanced at her, his eyes narrowed slightly,

With a flick of his finger, the Heavenly Cloud Sword was pulled out of the severed finger and roared across the earth, piercing Chloe's heart in an instant!

A blood-colored flower burst out, and an unbelievable look appeared in Chloe's eyes, she looked at the indifferent Lin Qiye blankly, as if she couldn't understand why Lin Qiye wanted to kill her.

"The same trick can't fool me a second time, put away your thoughts, [Chaos]."

Lin Qiye held the Tiancong Cloud Sword that flew back, his eyes fell on the severed finger in front of him again, and walked towards him step by step.

At the same time, Chloe's corpse, lying in a pool of blood, strangely transformed into a willow branch with long eyeballs, staring in their direction.

"How did you see through it so quickly?" The severed finger originally wanted to take advantage of Lin Qiye's slackness, so he reused Chloe to plot against Lin Qiye, and even asked the fake Chloe to pick up a wicker to increase his credibility...... After all, this is the last resort He has left.

But he never expected that Lin Qiye would attack so simply this time, leaving him the slightest chance to fight back.

"Appearance can deceive, but cause and effect cannot."

Lin Qiye stood still in front of his severed fingers, and a cold glow appeared in those eyes.

He stepped on the lower half of the severed finger with one foot, and directly stepped the earth out of a huge pit, and between the flying dust, Lin Qiye slowly spoke:

"[Chaos], you listen to me...... You can't kill me, and neither can the [Key to the Gate], since I survived, the grudge between us, sooner or later, I will get it back with interest.

Since I have returned to this era, a variable hidden beyond your control, I will not return empty-handed...... The more you are afraid of something, the more I have to bring you something.

From today onwards, I'll be the nightmare of your Cthulhu gods. ”

When the words fell, Lin Qiye's soles suddenly exerted force, and the surging power poured out, only to hear a bang, and the severed fingers on the soles of his feet had been crushed into bloody pieces!

"Master Hou, help me burn him...... Don't leave even a shred of slag behind. Lin Qiye spoke slowly.

Huo Quzhi nodded slightly, his fingers hooked lightly, and a burning fire in the distance flew quickly, engulfing the flesh and blood on the ground in an instant.

There was a crackling sound of burning, and a foul smell spread, and the two of them stood in front of the flames, waiting until the fire engulfed the last trace of blood, and the heavens and the earth finally fell silent.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A red-haired girl in a religious robe slowly walked from a distance, the phantom smoke dissipated behind her little by little, and her fair face was also full of dust at the moment, as if she had experienced a tragic battle.

"That...... Have you seen my fake? Chloe walked up to Lin Qiye and Huo Quai's side and asked.

Lin Qiye pointed to the willow branch corpse on the side.

Seeing this, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Kusuon?" Lin Qiye asked.

"Is that the willow monster?" Chloe shrugged, "Killed by me, without those fakes in the way, his very essence seems to be fragile." ”

Killed?

Lin Qiye was thoughtful, he had thought that Kusuen should be a god of the Cthulhu god system, and he couldn't kill it without a law, but now it seems that this is not the case.

This Kusuen doesn't seem to have reached the god-level level in terms of realm or combat power, and it should be just a monster of the Cthulhu god system, which can be killed even if there is no law.

"That's good."

A glimmer of dawn rose from the end of the horizon, dyeing the dark night sky into a fishbelly white, and the pale sunlight swept across the blood-colored Chang'an city wall, and the three wounded figures on the ruins dragged their shadows for a long time......

"What's next for you?" Huo Quzhi asked.

Lin Qiye stared at the gradually dissipating flames, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"I want to make some preparations in this era."

"To stop Cthulhu?" Chloe thought for a moment, "These things are really scary...... Do you have an idea? ”

"I'm still thinking about a specific plan...... I may need the help of both, though. ”

"Those monsters want to destroy sentient beings, Ben Hou naturally won't sit idly by." Huo Quzhi said in a deep voice, "Lin Qiye, what do you need Ben Hou to do, just say it." ”

"Count me in." Chloe said seriously, "If everyone is killed, then there will be no faith in this world." ”

Lin Qiye's gaze swept over Huo Quzhi and Chloe, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in the faint light of dawn......

"Okay."
