Free Web NovelShouting and cursing echoed through the gorge.
In the eyes of almost every member of the illegal Psychic organizations chasing Lu Yibei, a bloodthirsty look involuntarily flickered.
The reasons they wanted to kill Lu Yibei were bizarre and varied; some were because their faith was offended, some because unspeakable secrets were revealed, and some because when Lu Yibei framed others, she accidentally revealed their clandestine actions targeting other forces...
In short, during her repeated dances on the edge of death, Lu Yibei almost hit everyone's G-spot.
That feeling was simply indescribable, like someone who simultaneously knew your strange XP, used your money to take your girlfriend to a hotel, and even used your most beloved figurine as a prop to spice things up.
Seeing that Lu Yibei didn't respond, Bai Kai repeated what he had just said, "Xiao Bei, how about after this is over, we publicly break off our father-son relationship for now?"
I've seen people offend others, but I've never seen anyone offend people like Lu Yibei. Even if she could escape with Lu Yibei now, endless retaliation would follow.
Bai Kai wasn't afraid of death, much less afraid of dying for Lu Yibei.
But when those malicious guys retaliated, it was as annoying as him poking Li Xuan's tires!
The only difference was that he was handsome and charming, while those guys were rat-faced and shifty-eyed.
"..." Lu Yibei was silent for a few seconds, then said seriously, "Shui Ge, do you know? Playing it safe is the most disgusting expression of the word 【betrayal】."
"Or how about we just be thorough and break it off privately too? From now on, I'll call you Ge, and you call me Di, how about that?"
Bai Kai's mouth twitched, and he chuckled awkwardly, "How could that be! I was just kidding."
If I were to become brothers with Xiao Bei, wouldn't that bastard Lu Ming get an advantage for free? Absolutely not! Bai Kai muttered inwardly.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Hello, I'm warmed again, but also disgusted.
While muttering inwardly, she looked around at the scenery, estimated Bai Kai's speed, and then whispered to Bai Kai, "Shui Ge, after twelve seconds, stop for three seconds, thrust a sword upwards with full force, and then leave the gorge as quickly as possible."
"Huh?" Bai Kai was startled, "Why with full force?"
"Your old flame is waiting up ahead! Don't you want her to see how much you've changed over the years? Of course, if you want to be embarrassed, just hide it. It doesn't matter to me, but your future family status..."
Just casually thrusting a sword, the sword energy would be too small. What if others didn't see the signal?
To be safe, the bigger the sword energy, the better. Lu Yibei muttered inwardly.
"Five, four..."
Listening to Lu Yibei count down, Bai Kai didn't ask any more questions for the moment. His gaze sharpened. He reached behind him and drew the long sword from his waist, elegantly and swiftly performed a sword flourish, unsheathed it, softly chanted, "Heavy on righteousness, light on life, one sword knows; a white rainbow pierces the sun, vengeance returns," raised his hand, and sent a cold glint towards the sky.
With a single sword thrust, a roar erupted. The flowing water beneath his feet paused for a moment. The sword energy swirled the snow fluttering in the air, like a hundred-meter silver dragon soaring into the sky, as if spreading a brilliant silver river across the gorge.
Lu Yibei watched the brilliant silver light explode in the sky, her lips slightly parted, her eyes wide, momentarily speechless.
Shui Ge, this isn't just full force, is it? This is exceeding his usual level, right?
Moreover, the line of poetry he recited seems to be a revenge poem, right? Lu Yibei thought to herself.
She originally thought Shui Ge was ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) an agile assassin, but seeing him today, she realized he was a warrior with a rage bar.
From this sword strike, it was clear that the rage he had accumulated over the years was considerable!

A moment ago, near Jinchan Rock.
Including Inspector Xing Yuan and Silver Horn, a total of thirty-two Night Watch members were divided into four groups, hidden in different locations, waiting for the "big fish" about to take the bait.
"Reporting to the Superintendent, the first group has completed the setup of the trigger-type Spell."
"Reporting to the Superintendent, the second group has completed..."
"Reporting to the Superintendent..."
After the three groups confirmed the Alchemy bombs were set up, Inspector Xing Yuan looked at Silver Horn beside her. After receiving a positive response from his slight movement, she gently pressed the stopwatch timer.
The time stopped at three minutes, fifty-four seconds, and zero-seven, leaving more than a minute before the five minutes Lu Yibei had specified.
After pressing the stopwatch, Inspector Xing Yuan lightly stroked the bao sang cang xiao badge on her chest and sent information to each group, "Very well, everyone activate your suppressors, enter silent mode, and wait for the opportunity."
Following Inspector Xing Yuan's command, all groups simultaneously activated the 【Portable · Portable Alchemy Spiritual Energy Fluctuation Suppressor】 they carried with them, spreading the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the agents within the radiated area to a state undetectable by spiritual senses.
Under the cover of night, the mountains, rocks, and vegetation returned to silence, and snow fell soundlessly.
The surging river water roared as it crashed against the prominent Jinchan Rock, stirring up patches of white foamy lakes.
Everything was as it had been for thousands of years. No one could have imagined that more than thirty Psychic were hidden on the steep cliffs on both sides of the gorge.
The combination of equipment suppression and strict discipline has always been an advantage for Night Watch members compared to illegal Spiritual Energy organizations.
The location of Jinchan Rock is where the water flow in Taoyuan Gorge is most rapid. High mountains confront each other on both banks, with steep cliffs. The narrowest point of the water surface is less than thirty meters, and the degree of danger is almost the same as Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the most dangerous gorges in Z Country.
Such terrain maximizes the advantages of equipment suppression, coordinated action, and surprise ambush, enough to turn a battle that was originally fifty-fifty into a crushing massacre.
"They're here."
Gazing at the pitch-black gorge, Inspector Xing Yuan suddenly frowned and muttered to herself in a very low voice.
If there was one person in this world whose Spiritual Energy fluctuations Inspector Xing Yuan was most familiar with, besides that damned guy who forced her to leave Hua City more than twenty years ago, it would only be Bai Kai.
At this moment, she would absolutely not mistake the faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations faintly transmitted from the other end of the gorge; it was definitely Bai Kai.
No wonder Lu Yibei said to use the silver-white sword energy as a signal...
But why is Xiao Bai here?
Wasn't he forbidden from participating in the operation? Inspector Xing Yuan thought.
The next moment, a piercing shriek that tore through the air stung everyone's eardrums.
Before everyone could search for the source of the shriek, the things before their eyes were coated in a layer of silver light.
Immediately after, Inspector Xing Yuan, hidden in the darkness, quickly stroked the bao sang cang xiao badge on her chest and softly called out, "Act!"
"Boom——!"
Accompanied by deafening explosions, rocks shattered, and the firelight caused by the violent blast instantly filled the entire gorge. The collapsing mountain body from the explosion crashed down, blocking the river and cutting off its flow, raising monstrous waves.
----
Seeing that astonishing silver-white sword energy soaring into the sky.
The hearts of the members of the illegal Psychic organizations tightened, "..."
This is probably going to be bad.
In an instant, earth-shattering explosions erupted everywhere.
The bodies of the members of the illegal Psychic organizations stiffened, their faces turning pale, "!!!"
WDNMD, this is simply awful.
However, just as all the members of the illegal Psychic organizations were plunged into horror by the sudden turn of events, a figure had already fallen behind them by a distance, closely following Jiang Li and her group, separating from the team.
This person was none other than Suolang Baima.
The news of an ambush near Jinchan Rock was deliberately leaked to him by Lu Yibei.
Letting him die under the Night Watch's ambush would be too easy for him.
Lu Yibei wanted to kill him personally, or more accurately, torture him to death. Even cutting off his head with one sword, Lu Yibei felt was too merciful.
"Swish——!"
Amidst the roar of the explosion, a faint whooshing sound was heard, and Suolang Baima's figure quickly fled in the direction away from Jinchan Rock.
Friendly Reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your 【book shelf】 and 【reading record】 in time (screenshot saving is recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Seeing this, Jiang Li and her group, hidden in the darkness, immediately followed.
From the moment Lu Yibei said that Suolang Baima might be the murderer involved in killing Lu Ming, Jiang Li, like her, put Suolang Baima on the list of those who must be killed in this lifetime.
----
"Boom——Boom——Boom——!"
A series of violent roars sounded almost simultaneously, converging into one, extending left and right from Jinchan Rock, turning the gorge within a range of about one kilometer into a sea of fire in an instant.
Amidst the violent shaking and impact, raging fire and thick smoke soared into the sky. Boiling blood mist permeated the air, dancing with the dust, finally settling on the mountain walls and in the river.
With intention against lack of intention, in the first round of explosions, several urban legend and several Psychic turned into dust, and the injured numbered more than half.
But this absolutely did not mean that the members of these illegal Spiritual Energy organizations would give up resistance and allow themselves to be slaughtered.
After a brief silence, the thick smoke in the gorge twisted and tore, and countless shadowy figures emerged on the riverbed, rushing upwards like a stirred-up swarm of bees.
Seeing this, the Night Watch agents who were already in position immediately took action.
More than thirty ready-made sealing Spells of various attributes fell almost simultaneously. Among them were mixed combination-type sealing Spells, paired, tripled, or even more working together, instantly weaving a "large net" above the gorge that made escape impossible.
Wherever it passed, the rising figures of the illegal Spiritual Energy organization members suddenly paused.
The moment their actions were briefly hindered, a new round of attacks descended.
Talismans, precise Spells, Spirit Mark innate abilities...
The Night Watch agents used various methods, bombing indiscriminately as if Spiritual Energy and money were no object, not deliberately pursuing quality, only quantity. Streams of light of various colors, carrying considerable Spiritual Energy fluctuations, fell like rain.
Thirty-two Night Watch agents were divided into four groups, rotating every three minutes, always maintaining a rhythm of three groups outputting at the highest specification and one group adjusting their state to recover Spiritual Energy, in an orderly manner.
Thus, before one round of bombardment had ended, the next round had already begun to explode. The members of the illegal Spiritual Energy organizations had not a single chance to catch their breath or think of countermeasures. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Artillery saturation.
One of the Night Watch's traditional skills.
Thus, the thick smoke caused by the explosion was penetrated with destructive force before it could dissipate.
Under the brutal and cruel attack, like thin pieces of paper, they were either torn to shreds, burned black in high temperatures, or suddenly lost their vitality, their bodies falling one after another into the dried-up riverbed.
----
Lu Yibei, who had already retreated to a safe zone, watched as the bodies of the illegal Spiritual Energy organization members gradually piled up into a small mountain in the riverbed, her brows tightly furrowed.
For some reason, seeing those sinful existences lose their lives because of the disaster she instigated, her Witch Breed core surprisingly felt a stir, as if trembling with excitement. Even her Spiritual Energy subtly increased by a few points.
She had no doubt that if she were to lie down and sleep at this moment, she would definitely dream of a new "dark fairy tale".
Could it be that "harming others" is the key to mastering and enhancing the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the Witch Seed?
If that's the case, wouldn't I have to...
Will I lose control under the temptation of power and go on a killing spree someday in the future? Lu Yibei thought worriedly.
Beside her, Bai Kai adjusted his Spiritual Energy fluctuations, looked at Lu Yibei, noticed her abnormality, frowned slightly, walked forward, and gently squeezed her shoulder.
It was as if he wanted to give her strength in this way.
Bai Kai knew that with Lu Yibei's personality, seeing so many lives disappear before her eyes, even if they were all sinful lives, she would feel a hint of reluctance.
"Xiao Bei, what are you thinking about? Is it seeing a scene like this..."
Before Bai Kai finished speaking, Lu Yibei interjected expressionlessly, "I'm thinking, with so many bodies in the riverbed, will anyone finish them off later?"
"For existences like urban legend and Psychic, if you only see the body but don't finish them off, the risk of them coming back to life is very high, right?"
"If no one finishes them off, I'm willing to do it, but their urban legend cores must be given to me as labor fees."
Guessing Bai Kai's intention, Lu Yibei didn't want him to worry, so she spouted a few lines of trash talk.
Of course, the thought that they needed to be finished off was genuinely hers.
Bai Kai, "..."

1:55 AM
Tang City, Lianzi Lake.
Beneath the lake surface, within a massive underwater structure rarely known to people, a silver spire over a hundred meters tall stood erect. Complex Spells flowed rapidly on it, emitting dazzling orange-red light.
There were a total of thirty-six such silver spires hidden in the secret corners of Tang City, wedged into the city's ground like steel nails.
The spires were connected to each other via Alchemy tracks buried deep beneath the subway lines, which facilitated Spiritual Energy conduction, weaving a giant lotus between the cities and forming a massive defensive barrier.
Among these thirty-six silver spires, thirty-five were forty-nine meters tall. Only the spire at the bottom of Lianzi Lake, used for city barrier energy emission, was special, standing one hundred and eight meters tall.
At this moment, three Tang City Si Ye Hui agents stood at three different positions around the silver spire, kneeling on one knee, one hand holding the bao sang cang xiao badge against their chest, and the other touching the orange-red Spells extending from the base of the spire to the ground.
"Tang City Si Ye Hui Agent One, Xu Wentao, confirms the city barrier can be activated."
Lao Xu's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the empty space. As his words fell, he poured his unique Spiritual Energy into the Spell he was touching with one hand.
"Tang City Si Ye Hui Agent Two, Shang Nanxing, confirms the city barrier can be activated."
"Tang City Si Ye Hui Agent Three, Mao Sanyou..." Mao Sanyou glanced at the time, "Let's wait a bit."
Lao Xu, Shang Nanxing, "???"
Seeing this, Mao Sanyou grinned at the two, "It's my first time doing this, I'm a bit nervous. I'll go to the restroom first, lest I can't hold it during the barrier activation and cause trouble."
They said the barrier would activate at exactly 2:00 AM, so it will activate at 2:00. What if they start five minutes early and Auntie isn't ready yet? Mao Sanyou thought.
----
2:00 AM, by Lianzi Lake.
Lead-gray dark clouds had covered the sky low, and the entire lake surface was shrouded in gloomy wind and snow, freezing a thin layer of frost.
"Crack—Crack—!"
In the midst of the dead silence, a series of teeth-grinding crisp sounds rang out one after another.
Along with the crisp sounds, the thin ice on the lake surface shattered inch by inch. The lake water boiled like it was bubbling, rolling violently. Through the deep blue water, the stern and cold spire at the bottom of the lake could be vaguely seen slowly rising from the water. Splashing water leaped up, creating waves that crashed against the lake embankment with a roar.
The spire, glowing with orange-red light, seemed to be heating up. Its light progressed from orange-red to golden-yellow, then to deep blue, and finally emitted a deep purple light. The surrounding water was constantly being evaporated, rising in wisps of white steam. There was a sharp sound vibrating in the air, like the shriek of infrasound.
Along with the gathering of vast Spiritual Energy fluctuations, it felt as if all the particles in the air were jumping madly, stirring up various bizarre illusions.
Suddenly, the piercing noise stopped. By Lianzi Lake, there was a dead silence. A deep purple column of Spiritual Energy light, hidden by the cover of night, silently pierced straight towards the sky.
Subsequently, the air turbulence ceased. Above the layered clouds, a giant purple light column traversed the sky, like a massive firing pin striking the city barrier that was invisible to the naked eye.
Thus, the Tang City city barrier was activated.
Astonishing energy rose from the different silver spires, one after another. The air made a light "rustling" sound, as if there were grains of sand rubbing together. Below the clouds, purple light, like meteors, converged together, blooming into a purple lotus.
Immediately, the lotus began to rotate at high speed. Its petals shattered, transforming into a torrent on the visible "shell" of the city barrier, rushing towards the depths of Taoyuan, in the direction where the Fusang Divine Tree was located.
----
In the depths of Taoyuan, at the top of the Fusang Divine Tree.
Ju Meng, who had just finished a suppression, was still resting with her eyes closed. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she opened her eyes and looked towards the sky.
In an instant, countless purple thunderbolts rose from thin air, flying for several kilometers. Towards her location, they unleashed destructive power. Thousands of beams of light, like meteors, poured down.
"Are they here?" Ju Meng murmured, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. She opened her arms towards the sky, giving up all resistance.
She waited quietly, for a death, or a rebirth.
The next moment, light fell like rain.
