Chapter 25 - 23: Cut in Half and Not Dead, Unfading into the Night
The eastern horizon reveals a hint of the pale white belly of a fish.
The dawn has yet to break, yet the sky is already bright.
The world's scenery gradually becomes clear.
In the city, the sound of crowing chickens has been ongoing since early morning, and it's still loud and clear.
By this time, the evil spirits have all receded, and the demons have fled into the jungles.
"This night has finally passed."
Lin Yan, carrying his long saber, slowly walks atop the city wall.
Wherever he passes, with a gentle pat, he turns the paper men into fragments that drift away with the wind.
The three hundred and sixty steps of the city defense position under the jurisdiction of Linjiang Station were not breached by evil.
But beyond these three hundred and sixty steps, the smell of blood is extremely pungent.
Because on both sides, a gap of six hundred steps had been torn open.
