Free Web NovelAs Master and Vassal, Twilight Woman and Miss Rabbit were too familiar with each other. Almost all the special abilities granted by their urban legend Power, as well as various details and habits during combat, were thoroughly understood by the other side.
Thus, after a brief probing, their battle gradually evolved into a brutal and savage collision of Spiritual Energy and a merciless, bloody fight.
Miss Rabbit raised the axe blade in her hand and swung it fiercely towards the slender figure in front of her.
After a piercing whistle through the air, the sound of shattering steel erupted.
Under the astonishing brute force attack boosted by Spiritual Energy, Twilight Woman flew backward, her legs shattering the hard surface of the asphalt road and plowing two furrows in the ground before she slammed into a fire hydrant by the roadside with a "bang!"
A violent jet of water gushed out from the broken fire hydrant. Water splashed onto the nearby electrical box, from which dazzling electrical sparks and pungent black smoke spewed out wildly.
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the long street and large areas of buildings on both sides were completely plunged into darkness.
This was the last scene Lu Yibei saw of the battle between Miss Rabbit and Twilight Woman.
Compared to waiting for the two of them to decide the winner and seize an opportunity, she had more important things to do.
For example, evacuating the "army" of Night Parade of One Hundred Demons gathered by the Little Freaks in the apartment.
They were too weak. Suppressed by the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of Miss Rabbit and Twilight Woman, they were trembling with fear and didn't have time to run far, all hiding in various corners of the long street.
If left unchecked, they could very likely turn into a crystal-clear urban legend core under the lingering power of their battle.
For example, after evacuating the Little Freaks, Mengmeng also had to quickly hide to avoid being hunted or captured by the Night Watch after they tracked the Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
The Hua City Si Ye Hui might seem unreliable and short on talent on normal days, but they wouldn't fail to notice such a big commotion.
By this time, An Qing, the main Officer on duty tonight, had likely already arrived with the tough guys from the Special Operations Team and a series of weapons against urban legend.
Nowadays, if anyone engages in group fighting, the Officer can definitely reach the scene within twenty minutes. Although the Night Watch has an extra step of detecting Spiritual Energy fluctuations, they won't be much slower.
By then, An Qing's force suppression and the Special Operations Team's bombardment with Alchemy shells wouldn't kill an A-Level urban legend on the spot, but they wouldn't be able to withstand it either.
----
Ten minutes later.
Inside the dilapidated office of the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration.
After Lu Yibei finished evacuating the Little Freaks gathered on the long street and repeatedly confirmed with Mengmeng that she was hiding in the deep underground space of Happiness Community and wouldn't be discovered by the Night Watch, she finally left the dream and woke up on the hard single bed, breathing heavily.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Qi Dong's powerful shouts coming from the direction of the Special Operations Team's preparation area outside the window.
"Quick, quick, take all the gear, drive the armored vehicles, and load them all with the highest-grade Spell solidification shells!"
"Damn it, A-Level urban legend fighting each other! It's been almost two years since we've seen something like this in Hua City. Tonight, I'm going to have a blast!"
Lu Yibei looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qi Dong, wearing only a vest and a stab-resistant vest on a cold day, holding a grenade launcher in one hand and carrying a 7.62mm Gatling gun on his back, hurrying past the window. He looked like the Terminator, quite fierce.
...
This... is indeed the style of the Special Operations Team!
But is it really okay to use such high-powered weapons in the city? Lu Yibei mused inwardly, then immediately thought of an even more curious question for her.
A urban legend battle of the magnitude of Twilight Woman and Miss Rabbit, even if somewhat restrained, was enough to cause severe damage to an entire street.
But that could still be explained away with reasons like an electrical box explosion, aging gas pipeline leaks, or an earthquake.
If the intensity and scale of the urban legend battle were even larger, how would the Night Watch handle it to completely eliminate the impact?
Just as Lu Yibei was pondering intermittently, the noise outside the window gradually faded away, and the large courtyard of the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration became quiet once more.
Driving from Peony Street to the vicinity of Happiness Community would definitely take no more than ten minutes. Just as Lu Yibei expected, the Night Watch would appear at the battle scene of Twilight Woman and Miss Rabbit within twenty minutes.
"Good thing I ran fast!" Lu Yibei muttered to herself.
She secretly rejoiced that she had infiltrated the Night Watch and understood its operations better than ordinary urban legend. Otherwise, having done nothing but watch, yet being caught on the spot and locked up in Yun Kang Mental Hospital because she didn't have time to retreat, would have been too unfair.

Late at night, inside a warehouse filled with a large amount of discarded and scrapped computer parts, several display screens were eerily lit.
Illuminated by the cold-toned light, a chubby Xiao Bai worm, with its tail stretched long and the end differentiating into several USB interfaces, was connected to a running server.
In front of it, on one display screen, messages were scrolling one after another within the Monster Story Chat Group.
Online Lecher 0: "Continuous attacks in recent days have yielded a total of thirty-two Spiritual Energy items, nine urban legend core bodies, including but not limited to various Alchemy materials such as Jiaoxi Poison Sac, Night Bat Fangs, Copper Patterned Elderwood, Moon Ash, forty-four chips with unknown uses, totaling one hundred and ninety-six..."
...
After the harvest statistics were completed, it lifted the group mute and posted a message.
Void: "Look at this. The footage I just received from the camera near Happiness Community is very interesting. 【Video】"
The video content started from Twilight Woman and Miss Rabbit looking at each other. Soon, another urban legend dressed like a Qingyi opera actor appeared in the video, exchanged words with Twilight Woman and Miss Rabbit for a moment, and then the two immediately started fighting fiercely. Only ghostly figures flipping around were left in the picture.
Before long, affected by the strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations, the footage was interrupted for a long time. When the footage reappeared, only a scene of desolation after a great battle remained on the empty long street.
The asphalt road was covered with cracks and potholes. Large sections of the walls along the street had collapsed. The broken fire hydrant was gushing, and the water merged with the blood on the ground, quickly freezing into frost in the cold air.
Void: "Looking at this situation, the Night Watch will have to find someone to fabricate a news story about a pipe explosion or something tomorrow. Our group member Wang Bu Liu Xing is really amazing!"
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "Void, you're talking about Wang Bu Liu Xing? But she didn't appear in the footage at all!"
Online Lecher 0: "Isn't that urban legend in Happiness Community Wang Bu Liu Xing's vassal? Her appearance doesn't it mean Wang Bu Liu Xing appeared? Why are you being silly?"
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "【Angry cat emoji】"
Void: "@One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats Xiao Qi, since you have such a good relationship with Wang Bu Liu Xing, the task of negotiating with her later will continue to be yours."
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "【Confused cat emoji】 Void, didn't she already refuse to continue learning about Ju Meng's information, and the task {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} temporarily ended? Why do we still need to negotiate with her?"
Void: "That's not how you should see it. We have a cooperative relationship with Wang Bu Liu Xing. Only a mutually beneficial cooperation can last long!"
Void: "If she finds out that we used her name to gain benefits during the chaos, and even made quite a few enemies for her, but didn't give her a share, the cooperative relationship will break sooner or later."
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "Void, did you see her methods of sowing discord and get scared that she'd hold a grudge?"
Void: "There is a little truth to that 【bitter smile】. For a urban legend with such a peculiar personality and considerable strength, under normal circumstances, we should indeed show her some respect."
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "..."
Seeing their Void so frankly admit to being intimidated by Wang Bu Liu Xing, Miao Xiaoqi was momentarily speechless.
Void: "But I didn't make this choice because I'm afraid of her. Hua City is about to descend into chaos. Continuing to imitate her actions and attack Twilight Woman's stronghold, besides gaining Spiritual Energy items, will also put you in danger. It's not worth the loss, is it?"
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: "Understood. Then, Void, how much of that stuff should we send her?"
Void: "Take it all there and let her pick half herself."
...
At that time, inside a villa in the distant suburbs of Hua City. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Seeing Void's reply, the fur on Miao Xiaoqi's ears all bristled up. She widened her eyes, vigorously patted the shoulder of the man beside her with one hand, and pointed at the screen with the other.
"A Se (Old Pervert), look, look! Has Void been infected with a virus or had a Trojan horse installed?"
Kind reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, which may cause the loss of your reading record. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" promptly (it is recommended to save screenshots). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Netizen Laosepi glanced at Miao Xiaoqi and said grumpily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Void is the most powerful virus in this world, the most rogue Trojan horse, the most infuriating malicious plugin."
"Have you forgotten how he drove that guy crazy when someone bullied his favorite virtual idol before? I still remember how that guy's SAN value was cleared, it was too tragic."
"That makes sense..."
Miao Xiaoqi frowned, then revealed a look of a little miser, muttering, "But, giving Wang Bu Liu Xing that guy so many benefits for nothing, I always feel unwilling!"
"It's not certain whether we'll give it or not!" Netizen Laosepi said with a pout, and as he spoke, he pointed to the computer screen in front of Miao Xiaoqi.
Miao Xiaoqi followed Netizen Laosepi's finger and looked at the screen.
Void: "However, Xiao Qi, wait until the chaos in Hua City is over before you give those things to Wang Bu Liu Xing."
After reading Void's reply, Netizen Laosepi nodded thoughtfully. Then, seeing Miao Xiaoqi typing "Why?" in the chat box, he patted her shoulder before she could send it.
"No need to ask. Void means that if she dies in the chaos, those things will be offerings for the memorial. If she doesn't die, they will be a congratulatory gift for the inauguration of the new King of Weird Tales in Hua City."
He paused, then added, "On the other hand, if we give them to her now, wouldn't we be confessing without being asked, admitting that we are the ones who imitated her and caused trouble in Hua City?"
----
On the other side, on the long street near the back gate of Happiness Community.
The previously remote but relatively clean and tidy street was now a scene of ruin. Seven or eight corpses clad in black robes, their heads missing, lay scattered among the rubble and dirt.
Blood of various colors mixed together, emitting a foul smell.
The battle between Miss Rabbit and Twilight Woman was nearing its end.
Following an explosion, Miss Rabbit fell from mid-air, sinking deep into the ground. Her white dress was almost completely torn, revealing fair skin covered in hideous scars.
In the end, she was still half a move short.
Although her Spiritual Energy fluctuations had reached a level sufficient to contend with Twilight Woman.
However, as a dependent, even if her current actions were no longer controlled by Twilight Woman, the dependent mark still acted like an invisible shackles that could not be completely eliminated.
And the disadvantage brought by those slight influences, gradually accumulated during the battle, became the losing trend.
At the end of the long street, Twilight Woman, holding a long knife that had turned jagged during the fierce battle, walked gracefully with a playful smile on her lips.
"Little Rabbit, the thought of killing you with my own hands truly breaks my heart. You used to be my favorite dependent, after all. So, don't worry, I won't kill you too quickly."
Thinking of Twilight Woman's cruel methods of torturing dependents, Miss Rabbit's heart tightened, but soon a look of determination appeared in her eyes.
"Hmph! You'd better kill me now, otherwise, if I get a chance, I will absolutely not let you go."
"Chance?" Twilight Woman sneered, "Falling back under my control, you won't have another chance, unless a miracle appears."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as her words fell, the sound of a cannonball being fired echoed at the end of the street. She turned sharply and saw the Alchemy cannonball, shot from Qi Dong's grenade launcher, flying towards her with a dazzling tail flame, gradually enlarging in her vision, and closing in on her in a breath.
The long knife was like lightning, drawing an arc in front of Twilight Woman in an instant. The blade collided with the cannonball, and the air vibrated violently, the blade turning red hot.
Immediately, the Alchemy cannonball, with power comparable to a precise Spell, exploded with a bang. Fire and scattered copper pieces impacted the crimson light shield that opened in front of Twilight Woman, and cracks quickly spread across the shield.
Just then, behind her, Miss Rabbit's teasing words suddenly sounded.
"See? miracles do exist, and it's the 60mm caliber kind of miracle."
Hearing Miss Rabbit's voice, Twilight Woman's pupils constricted slightly. She turned sharply and saw a cold light slash down. With a "puff!" sound, it left a terrifying wound on her body.
The wound, which tore down from her collarbone, almost took her right arm with it.
Thus, an inhuman shriek filled the street, containing an aura of rage.
In a dazzling glow, the surrounding scene seemed to crack like a shattered mirror. In an instant of dizziness, all of this seemed to disappear like an illusion, taking Twilight Woman's figure with it.
"Damn it! She got away!"
Miss Rabbit, who failed to kill her Master with a sneak attack, cursed fiercely. Looking at the Special Operations Team members gathered on the street ahead and An Qing who was approaching, her expression gradually became serious.
Just then, a strong wind brushed past her back, a white figure flashed, and she felt herself being picked up by the waist and quickly rushed towards the dark buildings in the distance.
The moment they took flight, huge bone wings unfolded behind Suo E like a round shield, and the willow leaf knives and cannonballs shot from behind rained down.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—!"
The bone wings only lasted for a few seconds before disintegrating inch by inch in a dense series of explosions, turning into scattered dust.
Although most of the attacks from the Special Operations Team and An Qing were offset by the bone wings, a few rusty willow leaf knives and scattered copper pieces still landed on Suo E's body and embedded themselves in his flesh. Suo E's body immediately trembled violently.
Enduring the severe pain, he gritted his teeth. Using the shockwave of the explosion, his speed increased to the extreme, and his figure flashed several times before disappearing into the night.
In a whistling wind, Miss Rabbit raised her head and looked at Suo E's pale face and the blood that couldn't stop overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and said blankly, "You... why did you save me?"
"Under any circumstances, the safety of the experimental subject must be guaranteed. Those are the Elder Council's original words." Suo E smiled, "You have two experiments left. I have to make sure you can go back alive."
Miss Rabbit, "..." What the ♦ was I expecting?
----
In the quiet Hua City Si Ye Hui.
Lu Yibei lay on the single bed, looking at Bai Kai's number in her phone contacts. After hesitating for a long time, she finally called him.
Although Chatterbox Girl told her that dealing with the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons organized by Twilight Woman and the potential huge hidden dangers behind this Night Parade of One Hundred Demons could only rely on her own strength.
However, she still felt it was necessary to inform Shui Ge of the situation.
Individual strength has its limits. Thinking of what she was about to do, she felt that she might need some help.
And in this world, if she couldn't trust Shui Ge and he couldn't provide her with help, then no one could help her.
"Hello! Is that Xiao Bei?"
After the phone rang a few times, Bai Kai's voice came from the other end. Lu Yibei had uncharacteristically called him, and he was clearly a little surprised.
"It's me." Lu Yibei replied, "Shui Ge, what are you doing now? Do you have time to meet? I have something very urgent I want to consult you about."
"Consult..." Seemingly sensing the seriousness in Lu Yibei's words, Bai Kai pondered for two seconds before saying, "Where should we meet?"
"How about the intersection of Peony Street?"
"Okay!" Bai Kai readily agreed, "I'm working here. Give me three minutes, and I'll be right there."
Immediately after, Lu Yibei heard a sound over the phone that was like a palm slapping a fleshy butt.
A crisp and loud "Pa!" accompanied by a blush-inducing moan. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Hurry up, quick battle!" Vaguely, she heard Bai Kai say this to someone.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Listening to the content over the phone that was likely to lead to 404 errors, she suddenly wondered if three minutes might be insufficient.
Five minutes later.
Lu Yibei stood at the intersection of Peony Street. The ancient town under the night sky was as quiet and peaceful as if it were asleep. A silvery light far away on the empty road entered her sight, and in an instant, it was close to her.
The silvery light dissipated, and Bai Kai, his clothes disheveled, appeared before her. "You're here, Xiao Bei. Just tell me what's on your mind!"
Lu Yibei tried to move her gaze away from the hickey on his neck and looked him directly in the eyes, saying seriously, "Shui Ge, if I want to do something that violates the Night Watch rules, will you help me?"
"Of course!" Bai Kai blurted out with a laugh, "Besides, what kind of trouble can you get into? Embezzling the monthly allocated supplies, misappropriating Jiang Li's activity funds, or taking two Spiritual Energy items from the warehouse to play with?"
"Let me tell you, these are all minor matters. Even if it's something more excessive, it's completely no..."
"I want to organize a Night Parade of One Hundred Demons." Lu Yibei said suddenly.
Bai Kai, "?!"
