“What is that? Could it be...”
Gazing at the sudden eruption of a black tide in the distance, seemingly devouring everything in its path, Naless Book uttered a surprised sound, and then her pupils slightly dilated.
Initially, watching Calamity, with no flashy moves, just relying on its own strength and speed to throw a punch at Shaman King, she thought Calamity was rely testing the waters...
After all, Shaman King controlled the Wang Quan (Royal Authority) symbolizing war, and in terms of combat skills alone, he far surpassed most Psychic and urban legend, definitely a grandmaster-level existence.
In front of such an existence, a simple, unadorned straight punch, from a certain perspective, was like a child’s wild swing; it could be neutralized by simply extending an arm and holding down the opponent’s head.
Therefore, Naless Book felt that Calamity’s strike could only be a test; otherwise, she couldn’t fathom the aning behind Calamity’s actions.
However, what she didn’t expect was that this punch contained a chilling power...
Surging waves continuously erged from the void, undetectable by Spiritual Energy, as if countless paintbrushes were wildly dancing without aning, outlining chaotic, twisted, and continuously stacking black lines.
Within the range covered by the black lines, everything was perishing.
Air, light, Spiritual Energy... even sight and Spiritual Energy were excluded, as if that space no longer existed in this world.
If one watched or probed for too long, those dark, chaotic lines seed to follow one’s sight or Spiritual Energy, drilling into the mind in so eerie way, stirring and tearing at consciousness, bringing a pain that struck the soul.
Noticing such an abnormal phenonon, combined with the sudden repair of the damaged Divine Kingdom Jade Gate not long ago, and the monitoring data from the Night Watch Headquarters’ monitoring room, Naless Book made a bold guess.
“Could it be that Calamity has mastered the thod of creating 【Unconventional Calamity Event: Ti】?” she murmured to herself, her expression gradually becoming solemn.
Although the current Calamity was not an enemy, a urban legend mastering an unknown and terrifying power was not good news, no matter how one looked at it.
She didn’t disbelieve Calamity; she was just worried that if this power were to be used in the wrong place in the future, it would be an irreversible Disaster...
What’s more, it wasn’t just Night Watch personnel around Yun Pass.
Everyone was watching!
The intelligence about Calamity using this power would likely appear on the conference tables of various Spiritual Energy organizations within half a day.
Night Watch might pretend not to know about Calamity’s potential threat, but what judgnts other Spiritual Energy organizations would make was not sothing Night Watch could control.
At that ti, would the battle between Calamity and Shaman King be defined as a righteous act to prevent a Disaster, or just a dog-eat-dog fight between Calamity level urban legend? Naless Book wondered.
Just as Naless Book had guessed, while Lu Yibei was fighting Shaman King, countless eyes were secretly watching the horrifying scene on that desolate plain.
...
“What a terrifying urban legend!” Fujiwara Sawae, severely wounded, couldn’t help but exclaim as her old servant led her away, gazing at the two figures in the midst of the chaos.
“Yes,” the old man echoed, “it’s practically a projection of hell on earth. This is probably the legendary Scourge Lord.”
The Scourge Lord is an alternate na used by certain Spiritual Energy organizations, including several major shrines in R Country, for factors that destroy the world. In their perception, the appearance of such urban legend is a terrifying urban legend that brings down divine punishnt, born after humanity commits so grave error.
As for how they would respond after realizing their mistake, others had no way of knowing...
However, according to custom, they would probably bow and apologize first, right?
“Scourge Lord?” Fujiwara Sawae’s gaze lingered on the chaotic black lines for a few seconds until her eyes stung, then she withdrew her gaze and pouted, “Why do I feel it’s not like that? She’s risking her life to stop Shaman King from creating a Disaster!”
“Miss, don’t be deceived by appearances,” the old man said sternly, “This might just be a struggle for Wang Quan (Royal Authority) between urban legend.”
“Appearances?” Fujiwara Sawae rolled her eyes, “From appearances, am I not also the good-for-nothing delinquent in your eyes? Uncle, your prejudices are still too severe!”
“...”
Knowing he couldn’t win an argunt with his young lady, the old man fell silent for a mont, then stubbornly stated, “In any case, the situation here, this old servant will report truthfully to the Palace Lord.”
...
On the other side.
Two figures, clad in moon-white robes embroidered with miracle flower, were hurrying away.
Sensing the horrifying fluctuations from the desolate plain, one of the figures stopped, turned around, and looked towards the battlefield with eyes heavily shadowed by dark circles and bloodshot.
A few seconds later, his companion noticed he hadn’t kept up and urged, “Hey! What are you looking at? We’ve got the item, let’s go quickly to avoid any complications.”
Hearing this, the figure withdrew his gaze, and as he turned, the dark circles and bloodshot in his eyes quietly vanished.
“Sorry, I don’t know why, but I suddenly zoned out... However, Calamity is indeed a terrifying urban legend, worthy of Chairman’s regard.”
“What’s the use?” the other figure said with a hint of disdain, “The Saint Plan is on the verge of success. Whether it’s these world-destroying factors or the Chairman’s bastards, they won’t be able to stir up trouble for much longer.”
“Hmm, well said. Let’s go, we mustn’t keep the Elders waiting.”
————
As Lu Yibei’s punch ca head-on, Shaman King instinctively raised his arms to protect his chest.
The next mont, the expected violent collision did not occur. The instant darkness struck, he felt as if he was dragged into an empty abyss by a terrifying force, no longer able to perceive anything, and even his consciousness and Wang Quan (Royal Authority) were gradually drifting away.
However, this state did not last long. Soon, he was awakened by the surging physical pain that assailed him.
Shaman King’s existence might be corrected and erased, but war would not.
At least not before the lingering aura of war on this land around Divine Kingdom Jade Gate was completely exhausted.
As long as his Wang Quan (Royal Authority) remained, he could return again!
Suddenly snapping back to reality, Shaman King looked down.
The armor on his blocking arms had completely turned to dust, and his arms looked as if their flesh had been stripped away, exposing blood-stained white bones.
But the damage caused by that terrifying punch was far more extensive.
Those dark, chaotic lines, after breaking through the block of his arms and striking his chest, actually poured directly into his body.
At this mont, he could clearly feel countless tiny, chaotic, and unsettling “things” inside him, like violent, frenzied parasites, moving along his blood vessels and bones. Wherever they passed, Spiritual Energy and flesh instantly evaporated, their existence no longer detectable.
If not for the continuous influx of war aura, transford into massive Spiritual Energy through his Wang Quan (Royal Authority) and constantly repairing him, his body would probably have disintegrated on the spot and vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
Very dangerous!
That punch just now was extrely dangerous!
Even with the blessing of miracle flower, it was hard to evade.
If that punch had landed even slightly more precisely, striking near the urban legend’ core, it would likely have caused irreversible damage to his Wang Quan (Royal Authority).
But unfortunately, there was no if...
The next mont, a fierce light flashed and disappeared.
What followed was the roar unleashed by boundless flas, waves spreading, everything covered in the colors of destruction.
And wherever it passed, everything rapidly evaporated.
Enveloped by astonishing heat, Shaman King’s entire armor burst forth with scorching light. His gaze, distorted by the high temperature, fell upon Lu Yibei’s arm, and then a cruel curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As he had guessed, his dear counterpart could not control that terrifying power well, nor could she release it continuously...
Therefore, before she could accumulate enough strength again, it was the best opportunity to kill her!
Thus, as Shaman King’s thoughts shifted, the war anomaly that enveloped the entire desolate plain imdiately changed.
As if it were halfti, the blood shadows that had been constantly fighting and causing slaughter suddenly paused briefly, then collectively turned their spears, and under the leadership of that burly figure, attacked the slightly slender figure.
In this instant, those blood-colored figures, condensed with the aura of wars from different eras, all beca soldiers of the sa faction, and Shaman King was their commander.
Thus, an unprecedented scene of war unfolded.
Heavy cavalry, shouting and charging, swept in like a breached tide.
Arrows condensed from blood light intertwined, like a roll of crimson silk obscuring the sky.
The roar of steel was incessant, tens of thousands of wildly firing muzzles hung in the sky, like burning stars across the firmant.
Endless yellow sand was repeatedly crushed, revealing the mounds buried beneath it.
Under the surging Spiritual Energy impact, the earth rippled as if being tossed in a pan.
Tens of thousands of tons of earth and rock roared upwards, forming hills, only to unexpectedly burst open the next second, revealing cracks.
...
And this mighty offensive, though substantial, was rely a derivative phenonon caused by Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) power, hidden beneath the surging Spiritual Energy.
That Wang Quan (Royal Authority), bearing strong aggression and a desire for conquest, gathered unknown amounts of death, killing intent, madness, and the resentnt of fallen nations and annihilated peoples.
Locked by that Wang Quan (Royal Authority), there was an inexplicable feeling of being ambushed on all sides, with the whole world as an enemy.
Trembling with fear!
The next mont, the two figures, like wildly dancing teors, collided hundreds of tis in an instant.
Then.
Lu Yibei, who was at a disadvantage in every move, retreated rapidly.
“...”
Damn it! It felt like the sand and pebbles at her feet, the swirling smoke and fierce wind, had all turned into enemies, ready to jump up and punch her at any mont.
She wondered if the Monkey King, when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and faced a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, encountered such a spectacle?
It’s a bit tricky. She originally thought she could one-shot him, but now...
Lu Yibei, while pushing her pre-cognitive thoughts and the special abilities of her eyes to the limit, dodging the blood shadows and chaotic artillery fire from all directions, had slightly off-kilter thoughts popping into her mind.
As she pondered, her peripheral vision drifted to her right arm, and her brows furrowed.
Before unleashing that punch and unreservedly releasing the power of the corrected miracle flower, she had been enduring excruciating pain that felt like her arm would be completely shattered. After throwing that punch, her right arm, along with a good portion of her body, completely lost all sensation.
She couldn’t even sense it with her Spiritual Energy...
Her entire arm continuously flickered, appearing and disappearing. Each ti it reappeared after flickering, it would transform into various unimaginable shapes.
Sotis it beca a riddled stone pillar, sotis gnarled tree roots, sotis a ferocious beast head, or a lump of rotten flesh, a tuft of hair... in short, anything but a human hand.
It was as if there was a severe model glitch, on the verge of collapsing at any mont.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei realized that she might have gambled correctly.
To that terrifying will, her importance seed to be slightly higher than correcting the miracle flower.
But it was also possible it was just a draw, where the house doesn’t lose and the player doesn’t win.
It felt like successfully glitching the ga, and the official didn’t ban your account, but instead made the ga constantly crash, so you couldn’t enjoy playing anymore.
“...”
Calculating this way, she should be able to launch the sa attack twice more...
But if she didn’t want it to end in a mutual destruction scenario, she probably only had one chance. At a ti like this, she couldn’t expect a miracle, could she?
However, luckily, I have a PLAN B! Lu Yibei thought.
Just as Naless Book had guessed, her punch just now, from a certain perspective, was a test.
Can’t a super ultimate skill be a test?
One-shotting him would be great, but if not, tricking out his trump card to prepare for the real kill is also good, as long as it’s not an empty ultimate, it’s not a loss.
Thankfully, Lu Yibei discovered the problem through that strike.
She found that brute force alone wouldn’t work!
To kill Shaman King, she had to use a two-pronged approach: first, suppress Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) to prevent him from absorbing the aura of war and repairing himself, and at the sa ti, deliver a fatal blow.
Suppressing Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) could barely be achieved by relying on the power of the Goddess Beiling Seal.
Calamity, which cuts off life, has naturally suppressed war since ancient tis.
Although war also creates slaughter, at least the victorious side will have a faint glimr of life remaining.
If Calamity descends and everyone dies, war naturally ceases to exist.
A fatal blow could also be achieved by relying on the destructive power unleashed when correcting the miracle flower.
But the problem was, Lu Yibei couldn’t do both...
Perhaps she could still evade the attacks from the war scene created by Shaman King’s Wang Quan (Royal Authority) by relying on her pre-cognitive thoughts and the special abilities of her eyes, but Shaman King’s combat skills were extraordinarily refined. His swift attacks after closing in aid directly at vital points, leaving her no room to be distracted.
If she hadn’t already endured hellish beatings from Ancestor for a long ti, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to spare a thought.
But, it doesn’t matter!
If a hot-blooded one-on-one fight isn’t working, can’t she call for backup?
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Lu Yibei rapidly retreated. The mont she distanced herself from Shaman King, the thick armor ford by Lingtai Pure Karma covered her entire body.
Then, a great drought descended, and life was cut off!
In an instant, the mighty anomaly surging on the desolate plain abruptly paused, as if a pause button had been pressed.
The next mont, a howling sound ca from the direction of Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
Hearing the howling sound, Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes, gazing at the fiercely approaching Shaman King.
One strike, just endure one strike, and once everyone arrives, she can buy enough ti...
Co on, Shaman King!
Party ti is over, enjoy the righteous group beating!
