Free Web NovelA minute ago, in the sewer beneath Four Gate Main Street.
The Mysterious Man and Miss Rabbit from the Eclipse Society concealed themselves in the shadows, fully suppressing the dissipation of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, secretly observing the remaining trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuation on the ground.
Noticing that the scorching and violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation on the ground rapidly decayed, finally leaving only a weak'small flame', the Mysterious Man looked at Miss Rabbit.
"My friend, the person you want to deal with seems to be severely injured. In this situation, do you really need me to act?"
Miss Rabbit flicked her arm lightly, and the rusty crowbar slid from her sleeve into her palm. She glanced at the Mysterious Man and said in a deep voice, "Don't be careless. If you really don't want to act, at least ensure she can't escape."
That little thief, under the very eyes of the Night Watch, was able to survive the first onset of hunger, significantly increasing her strength without revealing any trace. She must be very skilled at escaping and concealing herself. Miss Rabbit thought.
"No problem," the Mysterious Man responded, a cruel curve lifting the corner of his mouth.
...
On Four Gate Main Street, heavy rain once again soaked the dry ground.
Upon seeing the seductive woman with a pair of rabbit ears on her head, who looked like she would reveal a Rabbit Girl outfit if she opened her Coat, Lu Yibei felt a subtle sense of unease.
Had she seen her somewhere before?
Although she was very certain she had never seen that woman, the pair of rabbit ears gave her a strangely familiar feeling.
In just a split second, Lu Yibei thought of the long-missing Mr. Rabbit, her pupils suddenly constricting, and her mood becoming solemn.
If I can turn into this ghostly appearance, why can't Mr. Rabbit turn into Miss Rabbit?
I can't be careless. Assuming she is Mr. Rabbit, then my current situation is very dangerous. I need to find a way to escape quickly.
With this thought, Lu Yibei subtly and slowly moved her steps.
The previous experience of being startled by Gu Qianqian and retreating in a panic, only to get caught on a tree, taught her a lesson.
When unable to fully control the body's strength, it's safer to wait until moving to a more open area before attempting an all-out sprint.
Her peripheral vision occasionally glanced behind her, her feet moving slowly.
After moving a short distance further, Lu Yibei paused, vigilantly looking at the man and woman in front of her. Her body suddenly trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.
The man with vacant eyes, who looked very uncomfortable, had disappeared without a trace at some point. Her eyes also began to burn intensely, as if guiding her gaze in a certain direction.
The next moment, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air suddenly emerged, like something was rapidly slicing through the air.
Hearing that sound, Lu Yibei's heart jumped. She instinctively moved her feet, and then the ground beneath her suddenly shook. Her heel hit something, causing her body to stumble.
After steadying herself, she looked down at the ground and saw a section of a pale bone stuck in the ground, piercing the dilapidated asphalt road. The ground had slightly caved in and was covered in cracks.
And that strange man had appeared not far behind her.
The moment her gaze met the man's, Lu Yibei felt a sense of unease, inwardly cried out 'not good', and abruptly bent down, rolling forward.
She didn't know how she managed such a difficult move. She just had the thought in her mind that she should do it, and her body moved on its own, like an instinct.
"Thud—Thud—Thud—!"
Driven by that instinct, Lu Yibei rolled, side-jumped, or lunged forward, agilely avoiding the three consecutive sharp bones. The bones that missed their target collided with trees, the ground, and utility poles, emitting dull thuds.
At the same time, she saw the Mysterious Man out of the corner of her eye. He had taken off his shirt at some point, exposing his slightly thin upper body. His chest, wrists, ankles... his entire body was covered with hideous wounds, as if he had been whipped.
Bloody matter was frantically wriggling within those wounds, growing one disgusting flesh bud after another. In an instant, these flesh buds grew into pale bone spurs, each about the length of a forearm.
Just as Lu Yibei's attention was focused on the Mysterious Man, Miss Rabbit had quietly approached her. Her scarlet eyes, filled with anger, stared at the girl who had caused her so much trouble. She gripped the crowbar with both hands and swung it towards Lu Yibei's head without hesitation.
Lu Yibei sidestepped, trying to avoid Miss Rabbit's attack. Just then, several sharp bone spurs, as if they had anticipated her move, landed directly in her path of evasion. She had to change direction, missing the optimal time to dodge.
Miss Rabbit seized that brief moment. With a twist of her wrist, the crowbar, which had not stopped its momentum, abruptly changed trajectory as if ignoring the laws of physics, and slammed violently into Lu Yibei's back. The force was so intense that the air made an explosive sound. freewebnoveℓ.com
The violent force came like a flash flood. Lu Yibei cried out in pain and was instantly carried away, her feet leaving the ground, shooting out like a cannonball.
Watching Lu Yibei fly out in pain, Miss Rabbit clearly didn't want to give her any chance to catch her breath. She pushed off with her left foot, breaking through the rain curtain, swinging the crowbar. Her crimson lips split into three sections, revealing dense, pale sharp teeth, and she roared as she pounced on Lu Yibei.
"Roar—!" Under the roar, a foul wind arose, and even the rain falling from the sky was momentarily distorted.
"Hahaha—!" Miss Rabbit laughed maniacally, "You damned little thief, when you stole my witchs egg, did you ever think this day would come?"
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you now..."
Lu Yibei, "..." Don't kill me, then stop hitting me! Can't we just sit down and talk about this properly?
"...Letting you die just like that would be too easy for you. I will use your living body to refine the witchs egg, making you feel the pain of your internal organs being completely devoured by the resentments of other sacrifices."
Accompanied by attacks like a storm, crisp cracking sounds exploded in Lu Yibei's ears one after another. Heavy blunt force blows, each stronger than the last, struck her small body. The intense pain from all over her body continuously stimulated her nerves.
Under such attacks, Lu Yibei uncontrollably let out screams with a blank expression. And this seemingly perfunctory screaming seemed to infuriate Miss Rabbit, making her attacks even more rapid and brutal.
Damn it! Two against one, what kind of heroes are you! Shouldn't real men fight 1V1?!
If you have the guts, let me say a few words first! I'm sure I can find an excuse to make you stop attacking temporarily!
The physical pain and Miss Rabbit's chilling laughter and roars in her ears did not silence Lu Yibei's internal trash talk, nor did she stop thinking.
This was basically the first time in her life she had experienced a head-on battle between urban legend. The previous encounter on Linjiang Avenue was picking up the scraps from Gu Qianqian, and at Shihekou Middle School, it was ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) a strange ritual suppression.
Talismans... mingwang statue... Spell... ancestral cleaver...
For a moment, various items at her disposal that could potentially help her turn the tide of the battle flashed through her mind one after another, making her unsure which one to use first.
All the tactics she could think of required a certain amount of preparation time, but Miss Rabbit's increasingly fierce attacks and the Mysterious Man's interception, which seemed to be able to predict her actions, didn't give her any opportunity.
If only I could find a way to create a small distance and take out the Poker Pistol to shoot. Lu Yibei thought.
Although she didn't know who was stronger between Mr. Rabbit and Lu Xu, judging by the fact that the talisman explosion had an effect on Gu Qianqian just now, it could at least injure her.
If I can make her actions less rapid than they are now, I will have a chance to use the ancestral cleaver to counterattack. The ancestral cleaver could even stab Ju Meng, so dealing with Mr. Rabbit should be no problem.
And in the current situation, the only thing that can help me buy time is the Spell.
With this thought flashing through her mind, Lu Yibei immediately chanted the incantation silently in her heart.
Desolate wilderness, straw, remains...
Fan the wind of the spark...
The moment the last part of the Spell incantation was finished, a crimson flame condensed at her fingertips, rapidly growing with the momentum of a prairie fire, instantly transforming into a fire ball the size of a washbasin.
Her gaze sharpened. She gripped the fire ball tightly with her five fingers, as if it were not an insubstantial flame. Her entire person suddenly became very calm, as if the person in front of her was just a target.
She took a sharp breath, and her body suddenly turned to the side. "Poof!" The result of the forced dodge was just as she expected: a bone spur violently struck her ankle. Although there was no blood, the sharp bone spur cutting across her skin still brought pain like tearing flesh.
She clenched her teeth tightly, as if completely oblivious to the pain, steadied her body, twisted her waist and back, pulled her shoulder, and swung her arm towards Miss Rabbit.
The entire process lasted only a brief second.
This! How could she know the Night Watch's Spell? When did she finish the incantation?
Intense heat and dazzling crimson firelight suddenly rushed towards her face. Miss Rabbit's pupils slightly constricted. With her swift momentum of attack, she had no time to dodge and was forced to choose to endure the impact with her body.
After all...
That was only the Night Watch's lowest-level, standard Spell. She could still withstand such a blow.
The fire ball contacted Miss Rabbit's chest and instantly exploded violently. The rapidly heated air spread out in ripples. Her clothes were torn into charred fragments, and painful, burning, unbearably violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations surged throughout her body.
The Red Flame Flash unleashed by Lu Yibei was much more powerful than Miss Rabbit had anticipated, as if it had received the blessing of some mysterious force.
However, this difference in power was not enough to be fatal with one blow.
Under the impact of the Red Flame Flash explosion, Miss Rabbit's body slightly softened. She knelt on one knee, gripping the ground with both hands to steady herself. After sliding back a short distance, she regained her balance.
After the firelight in front of her dissipated, she looked up and saw Lu Yibei holding the Poker Pistol, pointing it at her forehead. free𝑤ebnovel.com
What is this weapon? Is it the Night Watch's rumored special Spiritual Energy firearm?
Staring at the oddly shaped black muzzle, Miss Rabbit's face turned pale. Just then, a smell of plastic entered her nostrils.
Plas... plastic? Is she holding a toy gun? Miss Rabbit felt insulted. Her mouth twitched, and she said coldly, "Little thief, could it be that you ate the core of a Strange Tale's main body and damaged your brain? Can you threaten me with a toy gun?"
As she spoke, she silently tightened her grip on the crowbar, preparing for a swift strike.
Just then, Lu Yibei covered her stomach with one hand, shrugged, and said expressionlessly, "It's certainly true that a toy gun can't kill people, but..."
"Miss, times have changed. Toy guns can also kill urban legend!"
After saying that, Lu Yibei pulled the trigger without hesitation...
