Free Web NovelAs Lu Yibei pushed the Goddess Beiling Seal to its limit, a violent surge of high temperature descended.
The light and shadow before her eyes twisted in the surging heatwave, like reflections in water, creating ripples.
A faint, almost imperceptible anomaly emerged within the distorted light and shadow.
A dazzling scorching sun, a dried-up riverbed, barren land where no grass grew, and countless dry, cracked white bones...
Under the suppression of this seemingly otherworldly authority anomaly, the overwhelming, crimson war scene was suppressed, its operation sluggish, the blood boiling and evaporating.
And the war aura, which continuously nourished the Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) like a river, was also cut off at its source at this moment.
Explosions caused by Spiritual Energy collisions erupted everywhere, and countless blood spatters burst forth with the explosions, sprinkling onto the swirling yellow sand stirred by the airwaves, dyeing the yellow sand a nauseating mottled color.
On the ground, countless wind pillars, carrying flames and blood, swept back and forth, violently spreading in all directions, pulverizing everything that tried to approach.
It succeeded, his Wang Quan (Royal Authority) was suppressed! As the oppressive feeling, as if the whole world was against her, weakened and then dissipated, this thought flashed through Lu Yibei’s mind.
However, in just a blur, the Shaman King’s figure had already pursued her.
Amidst the continuous roars all around, he raised his hand.
In an instant, a crimson light condensed in his hand into a long spear, seemingly formed from intertwined flesh and blood.
He gripped it tightly with both hands, and veins bulged on his thick arms.
Armor, in his eyes, had always been insignificant. frёewebηovel.cѳm
As long as the strength was sufficient and the skill was exquisite enough, armor would not only fail to provide protection but would even become a burden, causing more severe injuries than before.`
If he couldn't even do this, what right did he have to be the King of War?
When those indifferent heavy pupils looked down, Lu Yibei raised her head and met his gaze, a chill inexplicably rising from her back.
The Shaman King had not yet made a move, but she already felt a phantom pain of shattered bones, as if her entire body had been run over by a truck multiple times.
Following that, a hint of hesitation appeared in her.~
At this moment, summoning Xuan Ying Luofu, though it could sustain her for a bit longer.
However, the incident where Xuan Ying Luofu was almost pulverized by code 0 urban legend not long ago still left her with lingering fear, worrying that the tragedy might repeat itself.\"
After a brief hesitation, she raised her arm, covered in thick armor.
Fists and palms clashed with the long spear several times in the blink of an eye, and the next moment, Lu Yibei's figure shot towards the ground like a cannonball.~
Although the Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) was suppressed at this moment, his Spiritual Energy fluctuations were still superior, and he also possessed the most top-tier combat skills in this world... No, for the Shaman King, it should be more appropriate to call them slaughtering skills.
Without Spiritual Energy weapons, relying solely on one hand to exchange several blows with him was already Lu Yibei’s limit.
Brutally swatting away the obstructive arm, the upward-swinging long spear, like a sports car accelerating at full throttle, completed a drift turn, changing its trajectory in an incredible manner, and violently smashed down, heavily striking the Lingtai Pure Karma.
The Shaman King’s arm, tightly gripping the long spear, seemed to swing casually, yet in an instant, it unleashed terrifying power.
A roar erupted.
It was like throwing a grenade into an oversized bronze bell, buzzing incessantly, with sound waves rippling outwards.
A terrifying shock, like a heavy hammer, struck her chest through the armor formed by Lingtai Pure Karma, spreading outwards. She only felt as if her internal organs were grabbed by a large hand, squeezed into a ball, and violently stirred a few times, her vision blurring.
For a moment, Lu Yibei seemed to see Qingji, recalling the fear of being tortured by the Ancestor...
Then, her body began to fall rapidly.
Next, I’ll have to rely on everyone. Lu Yibei thought, her peripheral vision drifting towards the direction from which the whistling sound came in the distance.
Initially, she didn't actually want to involve the people within the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate in the battle with the Shaman King, and she hadn't even considered using Lingtai Pure Karma for defense.
Firstly, the Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) was formidable, and his strength was unfathomable. Even Calamity-level beings as strong as Dragon Xiang and Hong Bian had perished at the Shaman King’s hands. Rashly involving everyone in the battle would very likely lead to injury or disability, and there was a small chance of death.
Secondly, from a certain perspective, she was at most a temporal correction emitter, and she couldn't control the terrifying power that corrected the miracle flower very well. A slight carelessness, and the uncontrollable power could potentially correct away the people or things she cherished.
In fact, the so-called PLAN.B, to put it nicely, was a backup plan; to put it bluntly, it was an emergency plan, a last resort, settling for the next best thing.
If given a choice, who wouldn't want to use the optimal solution chosen from the beginning?
However, the Shaman King, as a former world-destroying factor, an Extinction-Bringer of Old Days temporarily unaffected by the world's malice, had a visibly vast disparity in strength compared to a urban legend like Lu Yibei, who had just gained Calamity-level power.
It was ridiculously difficult, like some bosses that are hard to deal with even with cheats enabled.
At this point, the only option was to find a stronger cheat or call for teammates.

In the distance, a massive rock stood isolated, its surrounding rolling hills long since completely pulverized.
Nameless Book, whose appearance had changed at some unknown point, stood atop the giant rock, gazing at the two figures in the sky.
“Is it Goddess Ba? To think there’s still a urban legend capable of unearthing the original form from such a Wang Quan (Royal Authority) that has long since degenerated and corrupted due to rumors and hearsay, re-endowing it with divinity while acquiring its power...”
When she saw the Disaster push her Wang Quan (Royal Authority) to its limit, preventing the Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) from continuing to absorb the war aura, Nameless Book murmured, analyzing.
“But if Disaster uses all her Wang Quan (Royal Authority) to cut off the war aura, how will she defeat the Shaman King? Does she have another trick up her sleeve? Interesting.”
The Disaster’s appearance, wielding the miracle flower and creating a 【Unconventional Calamity Event: Time】 to severely wound the Shaman King, had unknowingly instilled a subtle expectation in Nameless Book for her.
However, this expectation lasted for less than three seconds before it suddenly shattered and crumbled to the ground.
Gazing into the distance.
Seeing the Shaman King close in on the Disaster, the two figures enveloped in dazzling light, exchanging blows for less than ten moves, the Disaster’s figure plummeted to the ground amidst a thunderous roar.
Her body, encased in thick armor, crashed down like a giant, glowing red iron ball smashing onto ice, not even bouncing once before sinking deep into the earth, with jagged cracks spreading outwards.
Crimson flames surged from within, and swirling tongues of fire, like countless waving arms, aggressively extended in all directions, seemingly wanting to tightly grasp everything.
Under the swirling smoke and flames, the Disaster’s figure was vaguely visible, struggling a few times, as if trying to get up, but the next moment, a long spear descending from the sky blasted her deeper.
Immediately after, a terrifying blood-red light, like a meteor, rapidly struck, and the Shaman King’s figure appeared from within the blood-red light.
His black armor was shattered, with only most of his body repaired and exposed. His muscles, like cast iron, rippled over his faintly visible bones, making him burly and ferocious as he advanced step by step towards the Disaster.
Seeing this, Nameless Book’s mouth twitched, and she emotionlessly raised her hand to wipe away the beads of sweat that had appeared on her forehead.

This Disaster, she really is...
Hard to describe!
How does she manage to display great power when others don't have expectations of her, and then instantly fall in defeat when others have high expectations for her? Nameless Book wondered.
Just then, she heard a familiar sound from afar.
Faintly, the resonant sound of drums and the high-pitched sound of suona echoed, playing a song of “Entering the Battle Array.”
Following the direction of the music, she saw iron-curtain-like dark clouds gathering in the sky.
The boundless dark clouds rolled like surging waves, accompanied by rising thick smoke, and darkness, like a tide, enveloped the grim outlines that gradually appeared, with thousands of muzzles aimed forward.
【Hundred Generals Chart 97: Invincible Fleet】!
From afar, a figure raised a weapon in hand, pointed forward, and cannonballs were loaded, with scorching streams of light flowing, then the roar of cannon fire suddenly erupted.
Countless brilliant streams of light cut through the sky, and thus, collided with the blood-shadows created by the Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority).
Steel, fire, and blood blossomed like flowers.
“Finally, they’re out...” Nameless Book said.
Seeing Lord Bing appear, she finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this, for a moment, she truly felt that the Disaster might be killed by the Shaman King, and she could only watch from the sidelines.
After all, her Wang Quan (Royal Authority) was not skilled in combat, and only a clone of her was present here. Going to support would only mean sacrificing a portion of her Wang Quan (Royal Authority) for nothing.

Meanwhile, within the blood-flame-shrouded gully.
The Shaman King coldly glanced at the fallen girl, his gaze lingering on her forehead and heart, two common locations for a urban legend’s core body. He then grabbed the long spear next to him with a backhand, slowly raised it above his head, and aimed it at the girl’s forehead.
Just as he was about to thrust the spear, injecting a massive amount of Spiritual Energy through the girl’s helmet into her body to destroy her urban legend’s core body.
He suddenly sensed a tremor in his Wang Quan (Royal Authority), and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked up and saw countless brilliant lights flowing across the sky.
During his brief distraction, a white shadow, like lightning, flashed past him.
Its speed was astonishing!
So fast that even Spiritual Sense couldn’t fully capture it.
Upon closer inspection, the fallen girl had already been carried several miles away by that white shadow.
Seeing this, the Shaman King frowned, about to give chase, but then heard a thunderous air explosion behind him.
He sharply turned around and saw a small mountain, over a hundred zhang in length and width, flying towards him.
Further away, another small mountain of similar size was slowly moving towards them. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that beneath that small mountain, there was actually a woman carrying the mountain with one hand...
————
Over the past minute and thirty-one seconds, Lu Yibei had truly witnessed the terror of the Shaman King.
Just a few minutes ago, he was still calling her “kindred,” but in the blink of an eye, he started to kill her.
It was like an antisocial personality that believed “those who follow me prosper, those who defy me perish.”
Every move went straight for the vitals, utterly lethal, completely different from Qingji’s “stopping at the right moment.”
After a series of fierce, storm-like attacks, Lu Yibei’s vision had blurred countless times until a familiar voice sounded in her ear.
“Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei, how are you? Can you still hold on?”
“Shui... Shui Ge?” Lu Yibei stammered, “I’m fine.”
As she spoke, hot blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from her mouth, seeping through the gaps in her armor and dripping onto the ground.
“You call this fine? You’re spitting blood!” Bai Kai growled.
“Spitting blood... *cough cough*!” Lu Yibei said, “Isn’t that a common occurrence for Night Watch members?”
“So, what’s the situation now?”
“What situation?” Bai Kai frowned, saying anxiously and angrily, “You ask me? I want to ask you!”
He was just in the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, eating bugs and drinking aloe wine, almost about to trick that Miss named Shu, when he was suddenly rejected by the God Kingdom, thrown out like trash. Before he could even react, he saw two Calamity-level urban legend engaged in a brutal fight.
Uh, to be precise, it should have been an armored iron turtle being unilaterally beaten by a disheveled muscular man in a crushing manner.
The sudden change was like waking up from a beautiful dream.
Lord Huaiyuan was so excited watching that he immediately wanted to join them for a three-person team-up, first beating the iron turtle, then pounding the Shaman King.
Knocking both sides of the “argument” to the ground was Lord Huaiyuan’s way of mediating.
If Lord Bing hadn’t been sharp-eyed and recognized the unilaterally beaten iron turtle as the Disaster wearing Lingtai Pure Karma, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And Bai Kai only reacted after hearing Lord Bing’s words. While he was reveling with the locals in the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, his Xiao Bei almost lost her life.
If he hadn’t had prior experience fighting the Shaman King and knew he had no chance of winning, he probably would have rushed up to fight the Shaman King to the death.
“Uh, sorry, Shui Ge, I made you worry...” Lu Yibei said weakly, then intermittently explained the whole story to Bai Kai.
A moment later.
After hearing Lu Yibei’s explanation, Bai Kai looked back at the Shaman King, who was wrestling with Lord Huaiyuan and looked like he was about to break through the interception and give chase, his eyes deepening.
“I understand. So, my current task is to carry you, this nuclear bomb, and run until the launch preparations are complete, right?”
“Mm, pretty much.” Lu Yibei said.
“Don’t worry!” Bai Kai said with certainty, “I won’t let him catch up.”
He paused, then asked the last question, “Xiao Bei, one last question, doing this... are you in danger?”
“...” Lu Yibei hesitated, then said earnestly, “Of course not! Shui Ge, don’t you know me? How could I do something dangerous?”
Bai Kai, “...”
