Free Web NovelAmidst the buzzing of the bowstring, three sharp arrows, imbued with terrifying Spiritual Energy, shot into the sky with a dazzling iron light like stars.
Countless free-floating Spiritual Energy gathered towards the three arrows, dancing in mid-air, outlining three straight streaks.
Immediately after, three soul-shaking roars echoed in the sky, one after another, as if the entire world was left with only those three colossal sounds.
“Bang—!”
The first arrow accurately struck the long spear in the Shaman King’s hand, and the first roar exploded.
Under the shroud of intense light, the entirely black long spear not only instantly deviated from its original trajectory but also gradually turned crimson, as if forged by raging fire, even showing slight bending and deformation.
Metal fragments Cut off by the sharp arrow turned into dense, meteor-like specks of light, falling from the sky, heavy and sharp, hitting the ground and leaving countless deep and shallow cracks, spreading out ripples of crimson power.
“Bang—!”
Before the echo of the first roar had completely dissipated, the second arrow had already struck the First Generation Miracle Saint’s sword-wielding arm.
The iron light of the sword slash flashed, its trajectory shifted, grazing Bai Kai’s shoulder as it flew past, drawing a golden line in mid-air before plummeting to the ground, plowing a gully over two kilometers long. The earth shook, countless buildings were pulverized, and figures who couldn't escape vanished as if evaporated.
Before the third roar arrived, Lord Bing had already withdrawn his gaze and moved swiftly, fleeing into the distance.
He had to go, to the front, to meet Bai Kai.
“Bang—!”
When the third roar exploded, in the sky behind him, the First Generation Miracle Saint, struck by an arrow in the center of his chest, could no longer maintain his balance and fell from the sky like a golden meteor.
The brilliant light illuminated Lord Bing’s calm face.`
He knew that arrow would definitely bring down the First Generation Miracle Saint; whether he watched or not, the outcome would not change.
This was Lord Bing’s strong, almost arrogant, confidence.
Thus, there was a fourth loud sound.
The arrow, with its persistent lightning glow, fell with the First Generation Miracle Saint’s body, nailing him heavily to the earth, stirring up layers of soil waves. Cracks several meters deep spread across the ground like a spiderweb, blood sprayed, mixing with the rising dust, forming a golden mist sparkling with electrical arcs.~
In mid-air, Bai Kai, having lost his target, plummeted right after the First Generation Miracle Saint, light and airy like a floating leaf, but just as he was about to crash into the ground, he was intercepted by a suddenly passing black shadow and fled into the distance.
“How is it? Did you succeed?”\"
Hearing the familiar voice by his ear, Bai Kai struggled to open his eyes, saw Lord Bing’s cold face, and curled his lips.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his lips seemed to be welded shut, and he couldn't open them for a long time.~
The excruciating pain of shattered bones came from his shoulders, limbs, and even his skull.
His chest felt as if filled with stones, and every breath caused an unbearable dull ache.
His entire being felt hollowed out, like a puddle of mud.
“I asked if you succeeded, why are you smiling?” Lord Bing frowned and scolded, “You’re in this state, and you can still smile?”
“...” After a brief silence, Bai Kai pouted, his voice weak, “Who knows? I haven’t had a chance to properly process it yet!”
Lord Bing’s anger intensified, and he said harshly, “Risking your life for this result? Is there something wrong with your brain?”
“This time, the favor you owe me, I’m afraid even your life isn’t enough to repay it!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Kai seemed to realize something, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, “Oh? Did you sense it? Authority Resonance.”
Hearing these words, Lord Bing’s expression darkened, and he glared fiercely at Bai Kai.
From childhood, he had always been an extremely confident and overly perfectionistic person.
In his nearly fifty years of life, there were not many things that caused him regret, but being defeated by Lu Ming, who was # Nоvеlight # younger and less talented than him, was definitely the greatest regret.
And today, Lu Ming’s junior, Bai Kai, was about to bring him his second greatest regret—an imperfect Spirit Mark completion.
Yes, the method of perfecting Authority was never fixed and unchanging.
It was like a single equation having several solutions, or like the legendary deities called War Gods, who could be Chiyou, Xingtian, or Ares, Tyr, or even Weituo, Kratos.
In addition to devouring the core of a urban legend entity, absorbing completion potions, and collecting enough faith, there was a very special way to perfect Authority: Authority Resonance.
The Authority Resonance that occurred between Lu Yibei and Shui Shu Beast was different; that was a special Authority Resonance that would compel them to fight and contend for the uniqueness of the “War” Authority.
The essence of this Authority Resonance was actually the plunder of Authority; the victor’s Authority would advance, while the loser’s Authority would decline and corrupt.
Generally speaking, when both were Calamity, neither had the absolute certainty of defeating the other. To ensure the integrity of their own Authority, Psychic or urban legend with similar Authority would avoid triggering this special Authority Resonance.
The Spirit Mark 【Hundred Generals Chart】 that constituted Lord Bing’s power depicted the epitome of war, and the Authority it ultimately condensed was, to some extent, war.
And from various documented sources, the Shaman King was also suspected of possessing Authority related to war.
Even if one represented violence and destruction, and the other represented protection and resistance, there was still a high degree of similarity...
Although the Shaman King’s Authority was only a speculation based on limited records, if it weren't for aiding Bai Kai, Lord Bing would have strenuously avoided triggering Authority Resonance with the Shaman King.
In fact, according to his original expectation, if the Shaman King and the First Generation Miracle Saint fought to a mutual defeat, and he and Bai Kai could play the mantis stalking the cicada, he still wouldn't have chosen the Shaman King as an opponent.
He wasn't worried about losing to the Shaman King.
What he was worried about was that defeating the Shaman King would interrupt his progress in completing the 【Hundred Generals Chart】; in that case, even if his Authority advanced, there would be flaws.
If the Spirit Mark elements integrated into the 【Hundred Generals Chart】 didn't exceed one hundred, could it still be called the 【Hundred Generals Chart】?
Such Authority completion was not completion at all; it was simply pollution!
Unacceptable!
“......”
In silence, Lord Bing turned his head to look at the Shaman King, who was pursuing the First Generation Miracle Saint from afar and descending from the sky, then looked at Bai Kai, and said in a deep voice, “What do you think? Meeting you two brothers, I’ve truly had the worst luck for eight lifetimes!”
Meeting Bai Kai and Lu Ming made him feel like a good young man with excellent character, a wealthy family, and a bright future, who was led astray by two street punks to smoke, drink, perm his hair, go to nightclubs, and indulge in pleasure all day long, completely derailing his life from its normal course.
If he could, he would now only want to grab Bai Kai and Lu Ming, hang them from the ceiling, and beat them to death.
“Oh-ho? Our dear Lord Bing is going to get dirty?” Bai Kai, having recovered slightly, looked at Lord Bing’s frustrated expression and couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility!”
“You damn well shut up!” Lord Bing roared, raising his hand and delivering a heavy punch to Bai Kai’s abdominal wound.
Bai Kai’s tone and demeanor when speaking made it hard not to associate him with the scene of him playing along when entertaining those female clients.
It was very annoying!
“Ugh—!”
With a muffled groan, Bai Kai’s body immediately curled up like a shrimp, convulsing and twitching.

On the other side, near Chawan Temple.
As the First Generation Miracle Saint was struck down from high altitude by Lord Bing’s arrow, Chawan Temple, which was already just a pile of ruins, instantly turned into rubble and debris.
The rubble and debris were lifted by the shockwave of the earthquake and then fell, burying the Miracle Order members gathered near Chawan Temple.
And these Miracle Order members, of course, included Fang Ji.
A long time passed.
When Fang Ji pushed aside the earth and stones covering him and crawled out of the ground, before he could clearly see his surroundings, a metal baseball bat was pressed against the tip of his nose.
“Liar! Dead liar!”
A clear, crisp voice rang out, and following the sound, a familiar yet unfamiliar face, flushed red and filled with anger, came into view.
It was familiar because the person pointing the metal bat at him was Gu Qianqian, whose portrait as “the cunning chestnut-haired, bloodthirsty Demoness who devours urban legend” he had seen countless times in intelligence reports circulating among various Psychic organizations.
It was unfamiliar because the last time he saw Gu Qianqian, she was still in her Calamity form.
Yes, Gu Qianqian had once again successfully escaped from Lu Yibei’s God Kingdom Prototype.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, she was almost caught and severely tortured by Qingji, and she also told a small lie to that system-like Miss, which made her feel very guilty.
But she still succeeded, and after opening the God Kingdom Prototype, guided by intuition, she ignored the existence of the Void, avoided Nanling Yaohua, and rushed all the way here to find Fang Ji.
“Miss Gu, I...”
Fang Ji opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but before the words could come out, he was sharply interrupted by Gu Qianqian.
“Shut up, shut up, I don’t believe what liars say!” Gu Qianqian said, “Either you help me get the system back now, or I’ll smash your head in, no room for negotiation!”
As long as I don’t listen to these bad guys, and don’t give them a chance to influence me, I shouldn’t be deceived again, right? Gu Qianqian thought confidently.
System? Is she her friend? Fang Ji was speechless for a moment.
He wanted to tell Gu Qianqian that if everything went well, she could indeed awaken her friend, but now...
“Sorry, I can’t do it.”
He really couldn't do it, just as he couldn't help Elder Shem.
“Understood, you chose to have your head smashed in!” Gu Qianqian said, raising her hands holding the metal bat above her head, then smashing it down towards Fang Ji.
A sharp air blast suddenly erupted; before the metal bat fully struck, the wind pressure generated by the immense force had already created a shallow pit several meters in diameter on the ground.
Fang Ji, standing in the center of the shallow pit, felt the strong air pressure, as if it had solidified, pressing down on him.
When the metal bat struck, Fang Ji’s vision instantly went black.
The metal bat didn't hit him, but grazed his head and struck the ground.
Gu Qianqian still held a faint hope, expecting Fang Ji to change his mind and tell her there was still a way to bring the system back, so the first strike was just a deterrent. ƒrēewebnovel.com
As for why she did this, it was because the moment she raised the metal bat, she remembered what the system had told her, “When you’re in despair and don’t know what to do, think about what Calamity would do!”
If it were Calamity, in this situation, she would probably start with threats and inducements, right? Gu Qianqian thought.
However...
Although Gu Qianqian only briefly deterred Fang Ji, the shock generated by the powerfully swung metal bat hitting the ground, transmitted to Fang Ji’s head, still made him feel as if he had collided head-on with a charging giant elephant.
If it weren’t for the physical constitution of an A-level Spirit Ability User, his skull and brain would probably have been shattered on the spot.
This was the terrifying aspect of putting all attribute points into strength.
When he came to his senses, beads of sweat immediately appeared densely on Fang Ji’s forehead.
He knew very well that a straightforward Miss like Gu Qianqian, though easy to fool, had terrifying consequences if the fooling failed.
Because she was straightforward, if she decided to retaliate, she would definitely retaliate to the end.
“I’ll give you one more chance, help me find my friend back...” Gu Qianqian said to Fang Ji, feigning fierceness, “This is the last chance, I’m not lying to you!”
Fang Ji, “...” In that case, why don’t you just beat me to death?
At this moment, although he still maintained the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of an A-level Spirit Ability User, with the disappearance of the miracle flower and the damage to his Authority, he could no longer exert his full strength. Coupled with his inherent lack of skill in direct combat, his chances of winning against Gu Qianqian were almost zero.
At this point, any struggle would be futile and would only make Gu Qianqian’s next strike harder and faster.
However, just as Fang Ji thought he would be severely injured if not killed this time, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a horrifying scene.
In the distance, where the First Generation Miracle Saint had fallen, a dense golden mist permeated the air.
Figures shrouded in crimson light passed through the mist, arriving beside the First Generation Miracle Saint, and pounced on His body.
The First Generation Miracle Saint’s Spiritual Energy fluctuation level was far stronger than that of the Psychic and urban legend gathered around Him. Even temporarily incapacitated, His instinctive defense and counterattack were more than most Psychic and urban legend could bear.
Thus, amidst bursts of Spiritual Energy collisions, figures exploded into clouds of blood mist.
Thus, the originally brilliant golden mist quickly became tinged with blood.
However, there were always some stronger Psychic and urban legend.
They resisted the First Generation Miracle Saint’s instinctive counterattack, mimicking the person who had attacked the First Generation Miracle Saint in the sky just now, tearing, gnawing, drinking wildly...
A group of people gathered together, like a pack of scavenging beasts enjoying a feast, cruelly destroying another “person’s” body. Such a scene was unsettling and horrifying.
And as the First Generation Miracle Saint’s flesh and blood splattered, revealing white bones, rapidly regenerating, and then being torn apart again, some things that shouldn’t have existed quietly appeared in the light mist. freёweɓnovel.com
Those were all the wishes they had not yet realized...
The person who promised to fulfill their wishes failed to keep the promise, so they raised their butcher’s knife against that person.
It was as if a once-lofty god, once losing his former majesty and glory, would be pushed off the altar and have his idol smashed by crazed believers.
And so, just as Gu Qianqian was shouting for the second time that she would “smash” Fang Ji’s head, he raised his hand and pointed to where the First Generation Miracle Saint was.
“Wait a minute, look over there! As long as you plunder that guy’s flesh and blood like them, you can achieve your wish!”
“Oh, right, don’t you love devouring urban legend? Go, devour Him!”
Gu Qianqian, “???”
Why do I like devouring urban legend? Why are you saying that too? Where did this rumor even come from?
Ugh, so annoying!
