Under the night sky.
Above the undulating buildings of Bu Ye Street, three dark figures chased after the direction Lu Yibei had left, moving forward continuously.
"Are you sure? Is it really Gu Qianqian investigating Senior Brother Gu?"
"Confirmed."
"Hmph! Then tonight, she can only stay here forever with Wu Yutang. The secret she learned must not be leaked!"
Just as the voice fell, a whistling sound suddenly rose from beside his ear.
The person turned back sharply and saw a silver light, like a crescent moon, flying straight towards his neck.
Without time to think, he quickly ducked, avoiding the sneak attack, and the anger in his eyes deepened.
Immediately, a soft 'clang!' came from behind him, and a Persian scimitar was embedded in the stone platform of the rooftop.
"Who are you?!"
As soon as the person shouted, he saw an old and a young figure flying over. As soon as they landed, they unleashed Spells without a word and charged forward fiercely.
Ruthless and concise, charging headfirst into trouble – this is the style of the Miracle Order!
Three parts relying on strength, seven parts relying on confidence, and the remaining ninety parts left to miracle!
Thus, sword light and shadow were dazzling, and Spell talismans were chaotic.
"Damn it! Who exactly are you?!"
Under the fierce attack, someone let out a startled and angry shout.
Shem and Saleh exchanged glances, remained silent, and continued their assault.
Hearing that these guys wanted to harm the Holy Child, they had only one thought left – beat them!
----
"Bang—!" The explosive sound of air instantly compressing.
In an instant, a fierce wind swept through, rolling up Fang Ji and piles of garbage, tumbling and flying in the alley. Vegetable leaves, broken bones, bottles and cans... all sorts of garbage collided mercilessly with his body like bullets.
At the same time, Lu Yibei, who was kicked squarely in the abdomen, flew out of the dark and damp alley like a cannonball, drawing a small arc in mid-air.
In the few tenths of a second before she began to fall, her peripheral vision caught sight of pedestrians whose heads were barely visible in her line of sight, and she heard various noisy sounds. She instantly snapped back to reality, her pupils trembling slightly.
At this moment, seeing the bustling street less than two hundred meters away, Lu Yibei realized that fighting in such a place could easily affect innocent people.
When she arrived here just now, the urban legend was pouncing on Fang Ji. In that critical moment, she didn't even have time to worry about the three unknown Spiritual Energy fluctuations following behind her and swung her sword down. How could she care about these things?
But the situation was different now...
With a thought, without time to divine the amplification multiple of the next Spell, Lu Yibei immediately lightly began to chant a spell in a low voice.
"Jade Tower and Golden Palace, wall of cast iron, dragon roar, lion's roar, tiger's roar, hundred-zhang fence, forbidden land, three beasts bound!"
"Play the python flute, strike the turtle drum, moon shoots coral, pine grows amber... Fifty-three seals, python turtle amber evolution!"
With skilled high-speed chanting, two Spells were completed in an instant.
"Buzz—!"
As Lu Yibei finished chanting the last spell, the air emitted a low hum, and gold, silver, and bronze lights flashed, shooting towards the three directions of the alley like meteors, sinking into the walls and disappearing.
At the same time, amber condensed from Spiritual Energy rapidly "grew" along the walls of the alley from the base, coating the entire alley with a thin layer of tea-colored crystals.
Both Spells had an amplification multiple of over two times. The moment she finished casting the Spells, Lu Yibei felt a wave of weakness from the intense consumption of Spiritual Energy wash over her. Her whole body went soft, and for a moment she had no strength left to adjust her balance, only letting her body follow a parabolic trajectory in mid-air.
"Bang—!"
The moment Lu Yibei fell back into the alley, the tea-colored crystals closed together above the alley, emitting a low, muffled sound.
In just two seconds, this alley, about fifty meters long, was sealed off from the main road of Bu Ye Street by Lu Yibei's Spells.
Sealing myself, this is the first time I've done something like this! Lu Yibei thought.
"Bang—!"
Her small body fell to the ground, spinning, rolling, and bouncing.
It felt as if the whole world was shaking, and her internal organs were displaced, colliding within her body.
Then.
Seizing the moment her body bounced and lifted into the air again, Lu Yibei plunged her sword into the ground, her legs stepping back nimbly. Accompanied by a sound of metal tearing, she carved a Ravine on the ground, finally stabilizing her figure.
The wind stopped.
Amidst a series of 'clanging' muffled sounds, Fang Ji and the scattered garbage that had been flying everywhere landed heavily on the ground, headfirst, like wooden piles used for tamping soil.
The moment his face contacted the cold, damp ground, Fang Ji clearly heard a soft 'crack!' transmitted to his ear through his bones.
Immediately after, he felt a warm current from the dislocated part of his lumbar spine, burning hot, yet as comfortable as being scalded by hot water.
His dislocated spine, under the countless collisions with garbage and the intimate contact with the ground, had miraculously returned to its original position.
"Huh!? I can move!" Fang Ji stood up, letting out a surprised sound, then looked ahead at the girl standing between him and the urban legend, stunned for a moment, and tentatively asked in a weak voice, "Miss, are you the reinforcements invited by Guide Miss?"
Lu Yibei, "...?" No, I'm the reinforcements invited by the Monkey.
"That, that thing is too terrifying. I can move now, why don't we run away quickly?"
"..."
Although I really like your style of doing things, I really can't run this time!
If we run, the passersby on the street next to us will be in trouble...
So, not only can't we run, but we also need to provide that ghostly thing with a one-stop service of "kill, cremate, and scatter ashes"!
Lu Yibei thought, opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she was interrupted by a low roar from the front.
"Roar—!"
The low roar was mixed with a broken sound, like pulling an old bellows.
Looking in the direction of the sound, the half-shattered chest of the urban legend, which had been torn apart by sword energy, had somehow largely repaired itself. Viscous, pale liquid continuously oozed from the wound.
The liquid boiled and rolled, making a viscous sound, repairing its body.
Along with its body, it moved through the dimly lit alley like a ghost, rushing forward at astonishing speed, sometimes crawling on all fours, sometimes briefly taking flight, darting forward like a bird.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei's gaze focused, locking onto the urban legend.
However, the premonition she expected did not appear in her mind. As she watched the urban legend, her gaze seemed to be pulled by some strange force, drifting uncontrollably towards the damaged folding fan in the urban legend's hand.
It was as if that folding fan was its true body... Lu Yibei inexplicably had this strange thought flash through her mind.
Tsk, since I can't intercept it precisely, I can only use saturation fire!

Lu Yibei thought, stomped her foot on the ground, and as her body rapidly retreated towards the end of the alley, she grabbed Fang Ji with one hand and took out three Alchemy Dirty Bombs with the other, throwing them at the urban legend that was chasing her.
"Cover your head."
Lu Yibei said in a low voice to Fang Ji. Immediately after, her peripheral vision caught the moment Fang Ji covered his head with his hands, and she instantly activated the palm prints left on the Alchemy Dirty Bombs.
"Boom—!"
A violent explosion erupted, and scarlet flames instantly engulfed the entire alley.
Terrifying wind pressure swept through with astonishing heat. The Spell sealing the alley flickered with light, cracks appearing from time to time, and tiny electric arcs streaked across the surface, as if it would collapse at any moment.
A strange smell produced by the explosion of calamity water and Alchemy residue permeated the air. Fang Ji only inhaled a tiny bit, and under the strong hallucinatory effect and weak intrusion of world malice, his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and convulsed as he fainted.
In the second before losing consciousness, he seemed to see the vast starry sky in the deep night.
"Whoosh—!"
Gazing at the flames in front, Lu Yibei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looked back at Fang Ji, and slightly furrowed her brows.
Why did he faint? His endurance is a bit too poor, isn't it?
Never mind, as long as he's not dead, it's not a big problem!
Taking her gaze back from Fang Ji, Lu Yibei looked at the flames in front that had not yet dissipated. While the Alchemy Dirty Bomb explosion temporarily stalled the urban legend, her thoughts raced, analyzing the current situation.
The urban legend's Spiritual Energy fluctuation is about 0.8 Xin Tu, which is roughly equivalent to B+ to A-, and it has impressive self-healing abilities...
When it sneak-attacked me just now, not only was the physical strength it unleashed strong, but it also caused air compression and explosion. It's highly likely to have the ability to control airflow...
Although I don't know why Hua Sang wants to stop me from killing that urban legend, she might interfere with my actions again. Also, those three unknown Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were following me, I don't know when they will appear, so I have to be on guard...
Although the two sealing Spells have been amplified, they can only withstand the explosion of four to five Alchemy Dirty Bombs at most. I can't use abilities that are too powerful...
"..."
BOSS with high damage and high regeneration, intermittent "freeze" DEBUFF, random elite monster intrusion, skill lock...
What kind of hellish "terms" are these? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
If this were in "love and magical girls", the planner's mother would have been kicked out by angry Elder brothers and exiled to the Kuiper Belt!
Lu Yibei didn't think that three Alchemy Dirty Bombs could kill that urban legend. When she arrived here, she had already used her Spiritual Sense to detect it. The urban legend's Spiritual Energy fluctuation was about 0.8 Xin Tu, roughly equivalent to B+ to A- grade.
Although the Alchemy Dirty Bombs had been upgraded several times, their lethality had increased significantly, and they also came with a DEBUFF effect that reduced defense and luck, it was still too difficult to kill an A-grade urban legend.
Mainly, the equivalent was not enough.
It would be more or less sufficient if it were replaced with 【Hua Qianshu】 or the newly created 【Cong Tian Luo】.
"..."
So, I can only find a way to cheat!
When the explosion temperature drops to a tolerable level, before that guy recovers, use Wang Quan (Royal Authority) to shock it, causing it to briefly stiffen, and then use Jun Tiansou to end the battle instantly.
In that case, as long as I try to compress the sword energy into a straight line, even if the Spell is torn apart by the sword energy, it won't cause large-scale damage and affect innocent people. Lu Yibei thought.
After planning the next course of action, she did not relax her vigilance in the slightest.
After all, an enemy that could force her to use most of her abilities at once was already very, very troublesome. She couldn't be careless at all!
Then...
In front, the flames in the alley began to dissipate.
Now is the time!
With a thought, Lu Yibei stepped forward, pushed off the ground, and her body flashed, approaching the scorched urban legend at an incredible speed like an arrow released from a bowstring.
The moment she looked up at the urban legend, which ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) was two heads taller than her, a pale golden light flashed in her eyes, and a magnificent and solemn aura spread.
Catching the urban legend's body briefly stiffening, she twisted her wrist, danced a brilliant sword flower, and without hesitation thrust the Lingtai Pure Karma, ignited by her talent skill, forward.
【Taihe Gentleman Sword・Jun Tiansou】 High concentration compressed talent skill enchanted version!
"Whoosh—!"
With one thrust, the Lingtai Pure Karma hit the urban legend squarely in the chest, piercing through its back. Accompanied by a piercing 'whoosh!' sound, dazzling scarlet sword energy shot out from the end of the Lingtai Pure Karma, striking the Spell on the other side of the alley.
In an instant, the Spell collapsed like a mirror, and gold, silver, bronze, and tea-colored streams of light darted around in the alley.
It felt like a few mischievous children were kicking shiny light balls around like soccer balls in the alley.
Silently, the sword energy from inside out tore apart the urban legend's body. From the wound pierced by the Lingtai Pure Karma, it began to shatter, turn to powder, and dissipate.
As if being devoured, that burly body was instantly reduced to just a head and one arm, which fell to the ground.
Looking at the head and arm connected by thick white viscous substance, Lu Yibei's eyes suddenly trembled slightly.
What the hell is going on? Even if its vital spot is hidden in its chrysanthemum, it shouldn't be okay, right?
Surprised to find that the urban legend's body was about 80% destroyed by the sword energy, yet its Spiritual Energy fluctuation had only weakened slightly, Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat. She instantly gripped the Lingtai Pure Karma tightly and thrust the sword edge forward without hesitation, intending to deliver a righteous finishing blow.
However.
Just as the sword edge was about to touch the urban legend's head, a black figure suddenly flashed by, intercepting the momentum of the Lingtai Pure Karma.
"Clang—!"
The sound of metal and stone colliding suddenly appeared.
Lu Yibei's palm was numb from the shock. She stared intently, her pupils constricting.
That black iron-like color, the ruler-shaped form without obvious markings – what else could it be but a fragment of the Lingtai Pure Karma described by Qingji?
Lu Yibei followed the fair little hand tightly holding the ruler upwards, and when she saw the delicate face without makeup, showing displeasure, she was stunned for a moment, and then gradually understood everything.
A fragment of the Lingtai Pure Karma is actually in Hua Sang's hand?
Then all the effort I put into exploring the Da Chunyang Palace for half a day was for nothing?
Speaking of which, could the reason for my "frequency hopping" with her be that she has been carrying a part of the Lingtai Pure Karma with her for a long time?
Just as Lu Yibei was thinking, Hua Sang's questioning words entered her ears, interrupting her thoughts.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill my Senior Brother?"
Lu Yibei, "???"
That ghostly thing is your Senior Brother?
Has Da Chunyang Palace become so inclusive that it even takes in urban legend disciples?
Do you think a cute and charming urban legend like me has a chance?
As she thought, she looked past Hua Sang towards the urban legend behind her, and then saw a human head slowly floating up, its eyes fixed darkly on Hua Sang's back, raising the arm connected to the damaged folding fan...
