Free Web NovelZhang Huainan watched Lu Yibei in the distance with a subtle expression, and after a long moment, he let out a chuckle.
The various false identities that Lu Yibei had meticulously constructed had completely fallen apart in his eyes.
It was as clear as seeing a burly man naked in a bathhouse, where even the number of swirls in his leg hair was perfectly visible.
"No wonder this old man felt that her oath was a bit off when she swore it. I thought if there were any issues, I could always find Gu Qianqian..."
"Heh, if I had really gone to find Gu Qianqian, perhaps that little bastard's malicious intent would have succeeded, wouldn't it?"
Although he realized that the oath he had established with Lu Yibei was almost completely ineffective, Zhang Huainan felt even more at ease.
"How should this kind of thing be described in modern terms?" Zhang Huainan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Oh, right, social death!"
A relationship built on mutually possessing secrets that could cause the other party social death is second only to blood ties and marriage in terms of reliability!
"Heh heh, interesting..."
Zhang Huainan laughed as he imagined the scene when he would face Lu Yibei later, knowing everything, while she was still trying her best to act.
Although he greatly respected Qingji, whenever he encountered similar situations, he couldn't help but refute Qingji's words, "Living too long can also be boring," in his heart.
He would never get tired of watching this kind of drama, not even in another thousand years!

Suffocating wind pressure erupted, and the air boomed, stinging the eardrums.
Hua Sang, eroded by the pain from the Spirit Mark going out of control, suddenly looked up, only to see the massive fist rapidly enlarging in her vision until it occupied her entire field of view.
In that instant, it was as if only she and the urban legend creature's fist remained in the world.
Just then, she suddenly felt Lu Yibei behind her move, grabbing her clothes and climbing onto her shoulder.
With a sinking feeling on her shoulder, Lu Yibei actually leaped up from her shoulder and rushed towards the colossal figure in front.
Looking at the bright white light accumulating in Lu Yibei's slender fingers and feeling the terrifying power contained within that Spell, a thought flashed through Hua Sang's mind—this woman was indeed holding back her strength!
But immediately after, through her Clairvoyance, she sensed that the night erosion emanating from her Spirit Mark, which was on the verge of going out of control, was merging into Lu Yibei's body like rivers flowing into the sea. Combined with the situation during the Spiritual Energy attack incident at Huacheng Airport, she seemed to realize something, and her pupils slightly contracted.
Lu Yibei can actually absorb the night erosion in my body and convert it into Spiritual Energy?
If her ability doesn't cause any burden to her body...
Looking at Lu Yibei's back, the half of Hua Sang's body not illuminated by the intense explosion became "hot," her whole being boiling with excitement, her heart pounding wildly.
It was like someone who had been told by a Doctor that they had a terminal illness, had prepared to accept death, booked a plane ticket to see the places they wanted to see, and then suddenly learned that there was actually a special medicine for their disease in this world.
That feeling was indescribably Excited.
----
Lu Yibei also didn't know why her Spiritual Energy, which had been depleted, suddenly recovered.
It felt as if someone had used a highly efficient charging skill on her; all her skills instantly finished their cooldowns and entered a usable ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) state.
In the nick of time, with no room for hesitation, she predicted the movement trajectory of the urban legend creature ahead and jumped off Hua Sang's back.
Thus, the Four Beasts Bright Sky Cannon roared, and the Alchemy Dirty Bomb erupted with fierce light in the holes drilled into the colossal figure.
Amidst the deafening roar, too high-pitched for human ears to perceive, the violent Spiritual Energy, shattered metal fragments, pale blood plasma, broken bones, and minced flesh, which had lost control with the destruction of the colossal figure, splattered outwards, and the blast wave swept through the narrow street.
An intense wind pressure struck, instantly blowing Hua Sang and Lu Yibei away, like kites with broken strings, flying far and falling to the ground.
Both of them rolled in the dust, feeling as though all their bones were about to fall apart.
At this moment, several Secret Society members, using the smoke and dust as cover, rapidly approached, wielding weapons fused with their bodies, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from the weapons creating ripples in the air.
Lu Yibei's predictive thoughts captured the movement trajectories of those Secret Society members, and her heart tightened. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but found that her body was temporarily sluggish from the intense impact just now.
Her limbs felt like they were filled with lead, too heavy to obey her commands.
In the instant she was momentarily stunned, long swords, Spells, and Alchemy bullets had all arrived.
In her desperation, Lu Yibei grabbed Hua Sang beside her and used her as a shield.
Hua Sang, "???"
"..."
Although she could achieve the same defensive stance with Lingtai Pure Karma, she had just witnessed the fragment of Lingtai Pure Karma in Hua Sang's hand display a backstabbing behavior, so she genuinely didn't feel safe.
What if the broken sword also rebelled?
The Pink Fluffy Rabbit couldn't possibly control even Hua Sang's body, could it? Lu Yibei thought.
The next moment, over ten attacks of precise grade or higher were unleashed upon Hua Sang's body. Several types of weapons struck different parts of her body, clanging and sending sparks flying.
Although Hua Sang could withstand those attacks without injury, no injury doesn't mean no pain!
Her small face instantly turned pale, her eyebrows twisted together, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Just then, she heard Lu Yibei suddenly say in a low voice, "Apologies!"
Hua Sang initially thought Lu Yibei's words were directed at those Secret Society members.
After all, Lu Yibei's actions just now were already quite "offensive"; surely there couldn't be anything more "offensive," right?
But as her world began to spin, she realized how naive she had been.
Lu Yibei grabbed her right ankle and swung her around like a hammer, creating a circular arc with a radius of 1 meter, whistling as she swept away the Secret Society members wielding weapons around them.
She was extremely skilled at using human weapons in combat; this was a skill she had mastered the first time she encountered this world full of urban legend!
"Hey, you villain, eat my hammer!"
Hua Sang, "..."
She was silent for a few seconds with a complicated feeling, then very cooperatively straightened her body and took the opportunity to apply two high-level defensive Spells with counter-damage effects on herself...
----
In the distance.
Zhang Huainan, who had witnessed everything, his mouth twitching violently. This was a "cooperation" he had never imagined.
Immediately after, while Lu Yibei was wielding Hua Sang and wreaking havoc, countless items carrying Spiritual Energy fluctuations rapidly converged towards the urban legend creature that was now just a wreck after the explosion caused by the Four Beasts Bright Sky Cannon and the Alchemy Dirty Bomb.
The repair of objects is not like the recovery of injuries in living beings, which requires a relatively slow process. Usually, replacing damaged parts is enough to immediately restore normal operation.
As countless items surged from the shadows, from streets and alleys, towards the pile of wreckage, they were efficiently fitted and welded together.
Soon, a colossal being, completely unlike the previous urban legend creature but radiating no less, or even greater, oppressive force, rose from the ground and began to operate.
The sound of machinery operating and engines roaring began, like the roar of a fierce beast, and the ground trembled with it.
A new enemy appeared. Lu Yibei, who had built up enough confidence from dealing with those Secret Society members and small urban legend creatures, actually swung Hua Sang and charged forward to meet it.
"!!!"
Seeing this, Zhang Huainan, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, could no longer sit still and finally took action.
Although Lu Yibei and Hua Sang didn't seem to be pushed to their limits yet, he suspected that if he continued to stand by, his grand-disciple would be played to death by that kid.
Yes, played to death in the physical sense!
He quickly formed several hand seals, and immediately, imposing phantoms appeared around him.
A Profound Essence Jade Crown, a Black Feather Flying Robe, a Great Black Banner, a soaring Black Dragon... and soldiers clad in Profound Iron Battle Armor, densely packed, numbering over ten thousand, almost filling the sky above the Blocked area. These were the distant illusions symbolizing the Power of the Five Qi Heavenly Lords.
For a time, the entire Blocked area was enveloped in a chilling atmosphere like an approaching storm, and the air was filled with suffocating moisture. freēwebnovel.com
"...From the Divine Ren and Gui, guiding the vital energy of the Five Emperors above, saving the myriad beings and harmonies below, protecting the two principles from tilting, and preserving all life in eternal peace, is called the Northern Black Emperor, the Five Qi Heavenly Lord!"
As if tens of thousands of people were chanting in low voices simultaneously, the description of Zhang Huainan's Spirit Mark Power rolled across the sky like a beating war drum.
It was as if that aged man, standing high on the general's platform, looked down, his eyes bursting with tangible profound green light.
In that instant, dense fog appeared around the colossal being on the ground, the Secret Society members, and the rampaging urban legend creatures, wrapping them layer by layer.
Then...
Zhang Huainan frowned, his left hand forming a hand seal, his right hand reaching out and clenching towards the ground from a distance.
"Rumble—!"
Deafening thunder roared, the lightning illuminating the entire Blocked area in stark white, and the world paused.
Under the pale light, the dense fog was like giant hands, tightly gripping the bodies they surrounded.
In an instant, bolts of lightning descended, and the entire Blocked area instantly turned into a world of water and lightning, swallowing those figures that had completely twisted and deformed.
The sounds of objects and bones shattering mixed with tragic screams rose all around.
