## Chapter 24: Epic Battle
Qing Liao quietly observed Mo Tu’s demeanor and realized he was indeed very calm.
Could this be a case of feigned restraint?
Mo Tu’s words brought her back to reality.
“You still haven’t answered my question. Could it be that our great Songstress is too disdainful to reply to this humble fan’s little query?”
“You… you are definitely a guy with a twisted sense of humor!”
Qing Liao couldn’t care less if this man was really her fan at this point.
She saw it clearly.
This guy was simply a mean-spirited man; who knew if having a fan like him was a tragic fate or not.
“Twisted sense of humor? You’ve misunderstood me! I’m just a fun-loving adult male named Mo Tu. Interested in getting to know me?”
“Who would want to know you?!”
Qing Liao suddenly felt emotionally drained; her earlier dejection was washed away in an instant.
Perhaps it was appropriate to say such impolite things in front of this guy to counter his twisted humor.
“Heh~”
Mo Tu maintained his smile, turning his attention back to the stage.
At that moment, the group leader on stage stopped the performance.
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause erupted, and the sound of nearly a thousand hands clapping turned this sparsely populated area into a lively celebration.
“Awesome! Spectacular performance!”
“Woo-hoo!!”
“Marvelous! Marvelous!”
Qing Liao was startled by this sudden thunderous commotion, instinctively plugging her ears.
In response, Mo Tu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
This was already the group leader’s second round of performance.
Under the effect of “audience etiquette,” the more extended the group leader performed, the greater the impact of the Star Eclipses Power on ordinary people’s spirits, eventually harming their very essence.
Once the group leader completed the third round of performance, his Star Eclipses would completely taint the spirits of everyone present, making it hard to erase.
Only the star called “Burning Star”—like the Night Watcher Chi Hao from Shanghe City—could eliminate such Star Eclipses pollution.
This was information Mo Tu had divined with the “He Tu Mo Shu” long ago and hadn’t told anyone.
Of course, Xiao Jin nearby had no clue.
But his intuition warned him to stop the performance’s progress—this was a premonition from the Night Watchers!
On stage, the group leader slightly bowed to the supportive audience.
“Next, please enjoy the performances of the other members.”
That should have been the announcer’s job, but since the announcer had exited, the group leader naturally took up the duty.
Meanwhile, all the Night Watchers were ready.
The members responsible for combat were rapidly closing in on the stage.
On a tall building, a Night Watcher with a sniper rifle locked onto the gentleman’s figure and held his breath.
Based on the information obtained so far, the gentleman was the biggest obstacle to the Night Watchers’ actions, and eliminating him was the most correct choice.
Xiao Jin had already devised a combat strategy.
Once the group leader’s Star Eclipses effect vanished, our Night Watchers would quickly disperse the crowd using their stars.
Once there were no unrelated individuals left, this area would become the battlefield between the Star Eclipses and the Night Watchers.
Xiao Jin’s emotions were incredibly calm.
The Star Eclipses that had shown up had already been confirmed as five, and with the unconfirmed single ponytail girl, that could potentially make six.
This scale exceeded that of supernova Star Eclipses, and was even more dangerous.
Given the overall capabilities of the Night Watchers in Yun Chang City, a perfect conclusion was impossible.
The main priority was still to forcefully disband the Tragic Shadow Theater while gathering information on the other unfamiliar Star Eclipses.
For this, they were prepared for sacrifice.
Xiao Jin gazed at the direction of the stage, his expression serious as he extended one hand, signaling the start of action.
“Move out.”
As his words fell, the Night Watcher holding a Star Technology sniper rifle pulled the trigger, unleashing the power of the stars towards the gentleman’s location!
Bang!
A beam of light streaked across the sky, leaving a visible b*llet trajectory!
In that instant, feeling the crisis, Night Star turned her head just in time. Her proximity to the gentleman made her feel a significant threat, as if an attack was about to hit.
“Hero!”
A puppet appeared out of nowhere, rapidly growing colossal, becoming a sturdy wall for everyone!
Clang!
The towering hero puppet swung a sword, blocking the star-powered b*llet.
Boom!!
An explosion resounded on stage, awakening the nearly thousand-some people below.
“What… what just happened?!”
“Why am I here?”
“I can’t remember anything…”
Once the citizens regained their senses, chaos erupted as they all began to chatter frantically.
To this, Cai Xun on the high building narrowed his eyes, a white light blooming from his arm.
The next second, the skin on his arm began to flip like the pages of a book in the wind, revealing clearly visible black text on white paper.
Shhh~
“Book World.”
Cai Xun casually drew out a white paper page, writing a message on it.
“This area is the scene of a terrorist attack. All unrelated persons, evacuate in an orderly manner. Run!”
Cai Xun released the page, which gradually disintegrated into fragments, scattering into the air, eventually merging into the area.
Under the influence of his star’s power, the remaining citizens in that area suddenly had an idea pop into their minds—to escape from this terrorist attack scene!
“Run!!”
Understanding what was happening made the scene even more chaotic, with nearly a thousand citizens fleeing the area.
Within just a minute, the vicinity began to empty out.
Once all the citizens had left, dozens of figures suddenly rushed out from all around—these were the combat-ready Night Watchers.
“I’m coming in hot!!”
Wang Chao led the charge, wielding a lightsaber and speeding ahead, stars twinkling around him.
The Sunlight Star’s “All Stars Holding the Moon” had long been activated.
The data he absorbed this time came from Night Watchers who wouldn’t fight on the front lines.
Though the values couldn’t compare to when he was in Doll City, they were sufficient for handling most incidents.
Wang Chao’s target this time was none other than the “Polite Devil,” the gentleman with immense crowd control abilities!
On the edge of the stage.
The smoke from the star-powered b*llet dissipated quickly as a mighty figure swung a giant sword.
The hero who had cleaved through the star b*llet jumped down from the stage, meeting the oncoming Wang Chao.
With a clash of swords, a violent sound erupted, stirring a whirlwind.
Bang!
A strong pressure expanded outward, sending numerous objects flying.
Wang Chao raised an eyebrow, having recognized that the puppet before him was the “Hero” he had once defeated.
“Oh? A defeated foe? Then let’s see you fall again!”
“The Guardian Hero never retreats!”
Wang Chao and the Hero continued to clash, the two warriors swirling like a meat grinder, countless sword energies even pushing away other Night Watchers arriving for support.
Meanwhile…
Mo Tu, hiding behind a building with Qing Liao, gazed at the scene not far away, rare silence enveloping him.
“So… this is such an aggressive tactic?”
