Chapter 30

Defeated By You Just Like That... [就这样被你征服... Jiù Zhè Yàng Bèi Nǐ Zhēng Fú...] is the thirtieth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
With Ye Yan and his Flag Demons defeated on the ground, Gu Xiaohua turns her attention to Wuren and Ximen Chicken, the last remaining members of the Department of Night. Wuren attempts to escape, but Gu Xiaohua attacks him with the Star Shattering Iron Gourd. However, he manages to intercept it and redirect it into the ground with his new technique Slippery Oil Hands, which Gu Xiaohua remarks as a variant of Tai Chi, with Wuren confirming that he was inspired by Huang Xiaoyan's technique from earlier. However, the evil Untitled Sage then throws a building on top of him, damaging him and knocking him unconscious.

As Gu Xiaohua mocks the Department of Night's abilities, she sees Ye Yan in agony on the ground. She then breaks a nearby utility pole and prepares to give him a swift death. As she approaches him, Ye Yan thinks that the damage from the Star Shattering Iron Gourd earlier may have broke his rib cage and that he is too weak to even stand while cursing himself for using his last bit of strength to put his clothes back on. He realizes he has no more options since he cannot strike his Soul Gong or summon Hundun anymore. Laughing in glee, Gu Xiaohua announces that with the Department of Night dead, she is free to do what she wants in the city, revealing her name in the process. As Ye Yan prepares for his death, Huang Xiaoyan calls out to Gu Xiaohua. Responding to the call, Gu Xiaohua is then sucked into the Universal Miracle Gourd, with Huang Xiaoyan plugging its opening after she completely enters it, leaving Ye Yan speechless.

Meanwhile, Yan Wen remarks that the new generation is quite interesting due to their superb abilities and luck. She then notices that while Huang Xiaoyan didn't cast the spell, the lightning was still present in the sky and should strike anytime soon, although it is unknown where it will strike. A bolt of lightning then strikes Wang Shengli's office, causing him to exclaim in anger about how the school has to be repaired again.
