Chapter 100 Daylight Detective Agency

As soon as Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, Yang Jian raised his three-pointed double-edged halberd. Golden light shot into the sky, tearing through the gray sky and radiating a dazzling and astonishing aura. Yang Jian's attack, carrying boundless divine power, fell towards the octopus in front of him.

"Roar……"

Sensing the terrifying power of Yang Jian's attack, the octopus raised several tentacles and hurled them down at Yang Jian from above.

At the same time, Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan had already taken to the air. Leng Xuan, carrying the Demon-Slaying Sword, silently appeared beside the thickest tentacle and swung the sword down. Si Xiaonan subtly moved her fingers, completely concealing Leng Xuan's presence.

"Hiss..."

Yang Jian's three-pointed double-edged halberd and the Demon-Slaying Sword fell almost simultaneously, and the octopus immediately lost three tentacles.

"Ah Jin, Leng Xuan, come back quickly!"

Wang Mian suddenly roared, and Ling Yunxiao's expression changed. With a flick of his wrist, he had already written several healing and exorcising incantations on the Book of Life and Death.

Although the two did not understand what had happened, they retreated rapidly back to Ling Yunxiao's side.

Wang's face was deathly pale. He was breathing heavily, and his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.

"Thankfully, I'm back. Whatever you do, don't get close to that monster. Although it's Hela, it's completely devoid of consciousness. It's basically a twisted being now. If we fight our way through to kill it, we'll be corrupted by prolonged contact with this power that has corrupted the gods."

This pollution is terrifying; it infiltrates the mind and spirit without leaving a trace. All three of you will be severely injured and near death from this pollution. Even Ling Yunxiao's exorcism will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and cannot completely save you.”

After taking a deep breath, Wang Mian uttered these words, and Ling Yunxiao looked at everyone with a solemn expression. Since obtaining the Book of Man, this was the first time he had failed to save someone, even though nothing had actually happened. Yet, he trusted Wang Mian.

"Are we just supposed to leave it alone? This corrupted god must be an extremely troublesome entity, right?"

Yang Jian sighed, gazing at the roaring octopus still floating on the sea in the distance. He watched coldly as it regained its eight tentacles, flailing wildly across the surface. An indescribable feeling welled up within Yang Jian; it seemed he should kill the octopus, even if it meant being contaminated and perishing together. He had to kill it, otherwise, he would surely regret it later.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Wang Mian sighed, but Leng Xuan did not move. He slowly raised his head, his eyes resolute, and spoke:

"I'm sorry, Captain, but a voice inside me tells me that even if it means dying together, I have to kill this octopus. Otherwise, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

Wang Mian: (⊙﹏⊙)

Yang Jian: (?Д?)

Si Xiaonan: (°ー°〃)

Wu Tongxuan:ヽ(*.＞Д＜)o゜

Very good. Apart from Ling Yunxiao, everyone actually felt the same way.

Am I being isolated?

Ling Yunxiao frowned, unable to understand why the five of them could be so synchronized. Si Xiaonan, like a gentle older sister next door, patted his shoulder softly and comforted him gently.

"Uh... is it possible that it's because your cultivation level is too low and your spiritual perception is insufficient?"

"Thank you, but I'm not comforted at all. However, since you all sense that we must fight, then let's leave this scourge to be eliminated. Before that, I'd like to trouble you, Captain, to activate [Time-Traveling Thug] again and go to the River of Time to see if I would be corrupted if I were fighting alone."

"Do you have the strength to fight a god alone? You should know that even if you've been corrupted and turned into a monster, you're still Hela, the Goddess of Death, right?"

Wu Tongxuan, having never seen Ling Yunxiao's new ability before, voiced his doubts. Wang Mian, however, posed no objections, and even though he was exhausted, he activated [Time-Traveling Thug] without hesitation.

Soon, Wang Mian's face turned blue at the corners of his mouth and his eyes became bloodshot.

However, he smiled and nodded at Ling Yunxiao.

"You can go!"

Ling Yunxiao immediately smiled. So, activating the Witch Clan Physique really did allow him to resist pollution? His spiritual power was only at the Boundless Realm.

Suddenly, Ling Yunxiao realized something: what kind of spiritual power could a proper witch clan have? It seemed understandable that his spiritual power hadn't improved for so long.

Ling Yunxiao walked to Wang Mian's side and, while writing the Healing Mantra, added another hundred years to his lifespan. He took the opportunity to glance at Wang Mian's remaining lifespan; hmm, 680 years left, which immediately put him at ease.

"Bring Zhong Kui's Ghost-Slaying Sword."

Wang's complexion returned to its rosy hue, and he spoke up again to remind him. Ling Yunxiao smiled and agreed, then walked up to Leng Xuan and took the Zhong Kui Demon-Slaying Sword.

At the same time, in Lintang City, Daxia, outside the Daylight Detective Agency.

"Listen up, 008 squad inside! You're surrounded! If... if you don't come out and have a fair five-on-five sparring match with us, we're going to kill you!"

Zhou Ping stood there with great presence, but his voice grew softer and softer. Lin Qiye and the others behind him were utterly bewildered, as if they wanted to dig a hole in the ground and disappear.

"Wow... there are robbers! Come out quickly!"

"There are no robbers. These people all have Star Blades with their keys!"

“Li Hong, based on my deduction, these people should be a newly formed squad of our Night Watch. It seems they are undergoing some kind of training, such as a five-on-five match against the Night Watch squad ranked 006-010.”

"Yes, that's quite possible. It looks like we're about to have another special squad on the Night's Watch!"

Several young men with gleaming eyes slowly walked out of the Daylight Detective Agency, followed by a girl in a white dress with a smile that revealed shallow dimples.

"Uh...you're the ones who said all of this, we didn't say anything!"

Baili Pangpang's unintentional confession only solidified the group's resolve. Meanwhile, An Qingyu's gaze, for some reason, was drawn to the girl the moment she appeared.
