Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 467: Rediscovered Life and Death

Qing Yi was familiar with Qing Chen’s voice.

Yan Chunmi, as an intelligence officer and former secret agent, couldn’t possibly forget her superior’s voice.

So, the moment Qing Chen spoke, they immediately realized who was playing the role of Zhou Cang.

Earlier, Qing Yi had wondered why, since his master had left, he hadn’t taken him along.

During those three days in the mountain pass, watching the wolf pack refusing to disperse, everyone might die on this snowy plain.

He couldn’t help but think, if only Master were here.

Now Qing Yi understood that Master was indeed here.

And, at this very moment, he was using his life to lure away all the pursuers.

Qing Yi realized that the wolf pack, the Living Dead, the murderous intent—all of it was aimed at Qing Chen.

But how many people in the Face[-] of danger are willing to avoid dragging others down?

Most people would probably want to take a few others down with them before they die, right?

Qing Li.

Qing Chen.

His followers.

Qing Yi, coming from the Conglomerate, had only ever seen thin familial affection and bloody feuds.

His father rarely came home, his mother constantly schemed over money, or tried to get advantages for her brothers.

Family is a person’s first window to the world. Young Qing Yi had thought that strife was everything in the world, so he wanted to cultivate his own scheming nature and participate in the Shadow Succession.

But today, Qing Yi suddenly felt something he had never experienced before… warmth.

It turned out that there really were people in this world who were willing to choose death for him.

Qing Yi seemed to return to that evening at Autumn Leaf Manor, when Master’s warm hand stroked his head.

After his brothers and sisters had cultivated, they returned home with laughter and joy.

“Master.”

Qing Yi, eyes red, charged towards Qing Chen like a wild horse.

But before he could take two steps, Yan Chunmi hugged him and rushed north, “Qing Yi, Boss told me to protect you. Going there now will only hinder him.”

Qing Yi roared, “You’re his subordinate, why aren’t you going to save him?”

Hundreds of wild wolves, and unknown enemies, even if Qing Chen was incredibly skilled, he couldn’t possibly survive.

Yan Chunmi walked calmly, saying, “This time… neither of us is qualified to interfere.”

At this time, the Kestrel had already noticed something was wrong.

She knew ‘Zhou Cang’s’ identity. She knew he was Shadow’s person, because Shadow had instructed her on the way, that if anything happened, she could cooperate with Zhou Cang.

Therefore, Qing Chen’s portrayal of Zhou Cang was unknown even to her. Then how did the people chasing Qing Chen know?

Someone from the Qing Family had made a move, and that person was most likely Shadow.

In her opinion, it was highly probable that Shadow deliberately leaked information to some force, leading to Qing Chen being hunted.

It’s just that Yan Chunmi wasn’t sure why Shadow did this.

But there’s another problem. If even Shadow didn’t know about this, then this matter is even more terrifying.

If this wasn’t Shadow’s arrangement, it means there’s an even stronger force within the Qing Family, manipulating everything.

They even turned Shadow’s own people against him.

Under these circumstances, Yan Chunmi couldn’t think of any way Qing Chen could survive, even if she went to help.

Whoever controlled hundreds of wild wolves was at least A-class.

A-class personally involved, would not give up until their goal was achieved.

This was why Yan Chunmi had been hiding her identity in the mountain pass. She understood the world of Metahumans better than others, and understood the level of this crisis better.

Qing Yi watched as the distance between him and Qing Chen grew, until Qing Chen’s figure finally disappeared into the snow, and he gradually despaired.

If Qing Chen really died on the snowy plain, and his brothers and sisters at Autumn Leaf Manor knew he was there and did nothing, they would probably be very disappointed in him.

Thinking that he would never see that smiling master again, Qing Yi suddenly felt as if someone had cut his heart, the pain making him breathless.

Song Niao Niao suddenly said, “But we have to do something, right?”

Yan Chunmi shook her head, “We can’t do anything. All you can do is live on according to his will… Let’s go.”

…

…

Gasping for breath.

The physical exertion from running across the snowy plain was greater than he had imagined.

Qing Chen glanced back at the wolf pack behind him, but found that the wolves were extremely well-organized, taking turns breaking through the snow.

The wolves in the front compacted the snow, making it easier for the wolves behind. Once the leading wolves got tired, fresh wolves would immediately replace them.

The wolf pack was divided into three teams advancing side by side, giving Qing Chen no hope of survival.

Qing Chen roughly estimated the wolf pack’s speed and the distance between himself and them.

Even if he used the black sniper rifle to kill wolves, he could only kill 89 at most before the remaining wolves would catch up and surround him.

Then there would still be 112 wolves left, and he would still die.

At this moment, Qing Chen felt two hot streams suddenly surging in his waist in the winter.

That was the feeling of adrenaline surging.

Life and death.

This was something Qing Chen hadn’t experienced for a long time, but at this moment, the young man was even a little excited.

He relentlessly unleashed his Breathing Technique, the hot air from his chest and lungs exhaled from his mouth, all his will exerting control over his body.

Qing Chen suddenly understood why he always felt something was missing in the mysterious world of Conquer with Virtue.

The will of a Knight!

The will between life and death!

What is the spirit of a Knight? Is it to be a good person? Is it to be loyal to one’s lord?

No, that’s the Outer World’s Western power elite’s definition of a Knight, not the Knight Order to which Qing Chen belonged!

The spirit of a Knight is only the unyielding will and the courage to accept the consequences.

That’s all they need in the Face[-] of life and death.

This allowed them, even when they were still ordinary people, to climb Qingshan Cliff.

Qing Chen suddenly laughed.

This long-lost feeling was so familiar.

In the mysterious world, he had turned the unknown faced by Knights into a certainty.

And now, he felt that if he survived this, he would have to truly experience life and death.

Master Li Shutong had said that this is the longest of all shortcuts in the world.

Taking a detour is fine, Qing Chen can always find his way back.

But if this road is destined to end today, then Qing Chen didn’t want to die in disgrace.

There are no Knights who die in disgrace.

Only those who die exhausted.

Qing Chen felt extremely happy.

Death, this is the most familiar thing to a Knight.

At this time, the insider who had been following Qing Chen suddenly heard his laughter, and felt a little suspicious.

He subconsciously looked around to see if anyone was ambushing him.

But, the snowy plain was empty and desolate, the distant snow forest like white needles piercing the ground.

There was no one to support the Qing Chen Supervisor ahead.

But the next second.

The insider saw Qing Chen no longer fleeing north, but turning around and attacking him!

The insider was shocked.

He couldn’t understand how, in the Face[-] of such a massive pursuit, he dared to turn around and attack alone?!

Had he gone mad?

However, when the insider saw Qing Chen’s eyes, the young man had already restored his original appearance.

On this wasteland, that violent and frenzied gaze was like a wild beast emerging from the depths of the Forbidden Zone, ready to devour its prey.

Qing Chen raised his hand and pointed his gun.

Before Qing Chen could aim, the insider had already made an evasive move.

However, he immediately saw that Qing Chen’s hand didn’t hold a firearm, he used his index finger and thumb to mimic a gun, just to test the insider’s maximum speed and strength level!

Just this one evasive move, Qing Chen already knew in his heart, this was a B-class Gene Soldier!

No wonder he dared to pursue him ahead of the wolf pack, no wonder he dared to continue acting as an insider in the mountain pass!

Firearms were useless against this level of warrior.

But Qing Chen not only didn’t retreat, but his expression became even more fierce!

In an instant, the two were engaged in close combat.

The insider drew his dagger and slashed, but found that the moment he raised his hand, the young man suddenly moved away. The two were like two magnets with repulsive forces, separating without touching.

As if the young man had already foreseen his movements through the creases of his clothes.

And the most surprising thing was that, according to intelligence, this Qing Chen Supervisor was most likely D-class, and less likely C-class.

But the speed and strength he unleashed at this moment were far beyond what an ordinary C-class could match.

His hard strength was still higher than his opponent’s.

But the young man’s incredible predictive ability had completely erased the difference between them!

The insider gritted his teeth and fought Qing Chen.

But before he got close, he saw the other side suddenly produce a playing card out of thin air.

The playing card was held between Qing Chen’s two fingers, drawing an arc and heading straight for the insider’s heart and lungs.

The insider raised his hand to block, but saw the slender fingers suddenly flick, the playing card spinning rapidly flying out from the gap in the insider’s block.

The distance between them was too close, the playing card, as if imbued with life, forcefully pierced through the gap in his life.

It was as if Qing Chen already knew the insider’s trajectory.

In mid-air, it sliced a hexagonal snowflake into two smooth halves, leaving a thin line of blood on the insider’s neck.

A drop of blood was carried away by the playing card from the neck, splattering on another snowflake, changing the snowflake’s trajectory, and falling on the snow, like a crimson cinnabar mole.

The insider slowly knelt down on the thick snow, watching the young man kill him with one strike and leave, continuing his escape.

Faster than before!

He couldn’t understand why the other party did this?

He was a B-class Gene Soldier, even if Gene Soldiers were at the bottom of the Metahumans’ contempt chain, he shouldn’t be suppressed by a C-class Metahuman!

He was being hunted, facing a situation of almost certain death, why did the young man dare to turn around and kill him first, then continue escaping.

The insider suddenly understood, the other party was telling all the pursuers that he was not a prey to be manipulated.

If they wanted his life, they would have to pay with their lives.

Too crazy!

Just to express an attitude, sacrificing so much escape time.

How crazy is that?!

The insider slowly fell to the ground.

At this point, Qing Chen was clear that this wasn’t Shadow’s person.

At first, Qing Chen wondered if Shadow had arranged this scene to completely win over Qing Yi’s hearts.

After all, only Shadow’s people knew that he was playing Zhou Cang.

But now Qing Chen was certain that he wasn’t, because the other party never tried to explain anything when facing death, no one would continue to keep secrets when the play was over.

If this was Shadow’s person, they should have clarified it long ago.

Moreover, the other party’s style of action had a strangely familiar feeling.

Shendai’s body techniques.

This was Shendai’s person!

Qing Chen sneered, things were getting interesting.

He looked up at the snow forest ahead, once again igniting the flames of the Breathing Technique, using his will as fuel, speeding into the snow forest.

The wolf pack behind him finally caught up, rushing into the woods following his figure.

But the moment the middle team of the wolf pack rushed in, an almost invisible, transparent thread, sharp as a knife, cut the wolves who couldn’t stop in half.

In just a flick of a finger, more than ten wolves died on the spot, their bright red blood staining and melting the snow.

The person controlling the wolf pack seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he didn’t hesitate for long. The formation of the wolf pack changed from a long river into raindrops, dispersing and seeping into the forest!
