Netherworld Retrograde

80: Chapter 37: The Night General, Awaiting the Taboo 80: Chapter 37: The Night General, Awaiting the Taboo With Li Yelai beheaded the Zhe Lan King, the Zhe Lan King’s Banner thunderously hit the ground.

All the Grassland Cavalry scattered in the upper half of the area decayed at this moment, turning into flying ash.

Meanwhile, in a hidden room of No.3 Border City,

a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance was dressed in a suit, holding a whip.

He suddenly opened his eyes in a daze, “The Zhe Lan King is dead?”

This was actually not surprising since the Zhe Lan Iron Cavalry was facing the Processors and Iron Guard.

It was normal for them to be killed.

But why…

was there an overwhelming sense of fear feeding back?

“What has the Zhe Lan King encountered?

Could it be…

he was killed by some horrifying Taboo Item?”

The man in the suit frowned in thought, but eventually gave up exploring it.

The mission this time was taken by several Ark Chosen Ones; his task was only to trigger God’s Whip, causing the King’s Banners that had been suppressed in various factions to summon large Cavalry armies, thus delaying the forces and attention of each faction.

Anything else was not within his plan.

“The Zhe Lan King may be dead, but he completed the mission I gave him, releasing enough Taboo Items.

The rest is beyond my control,” the suited man slightly parted the closed curtains of the room, peering out at the chaos beyond.

With the singing of the Fantasy Band, not only was the concert site like Hell,

but even those broadcasts of the songs were carrying a weakened Void Realm power to some extent.

A small portion of the listener’s Spiritual Energy potential would be forcefully activated.

And with the population base of the Giant City, this small portion was a significantly large number.

So much so that at this moment, the outside world was in utter chaos.

The Guard Hall, City Defense Army, and Processors of all factions almost fully mobilized.

But the number of people affected was too great; they could only suppress them step by step.

And the crazy and uncontrollable people were quietly gathering their rampant Spiritual Energy.

Once the gathered Spiritual Energy exceeded a certain threshold, then a powerful Void Realm Creature would descend upon No.3 Border City.

That would be the final chapter of the Song of Extinction!

Under such circumstances, if the Mad King could still move, he would not stand idly by.

Of course, there was another way to stop this from happening: kill those who were providing Spiritual Energy.

But it seemed the Processors had no intention of doing so—what womanly mercy!

Did they actually want to face that Void Realm Creature?

The man in the suit drew the curtain again and murmured, “Could it be, are you truly so old that you can’t fight anymore?

What a great pity, even the Ark Chosen Ones deeply admire your power.

The hero’s twilight years…”

…

On the other side, Li Yelai picked up the Zhe Lan King’s Banner and felt his speed increase slightly.

Such was the effect of the Zhe Lan King’s Banner, but how to put it…

it was somewhat insignificant.

After all, the Zhe Lan King’s Banner wasn’t small, and it wasn’t light either.

Carrying something like this to gain a bit of speed didn’t seem very useful.

Li Yelai rolled up the Zhe Lan King’s Banner, preparing to hand it over to Cheese and Sha Li, who were on their way.

After the fierce battle just now, Li Yelai was indeed somewhat exhausted.

First, he broke through the Cavalry formations wearing the Overlord Face, then he was kited by the Zhe Lan Iron Cavalry’s horseback shooting.

Later, he activated the Champion Marquis Face to drill through army formations, and finally pursued the Zhe Lan King.

Although he had the Heart of Slaughter, and his strength seemed to be inexhaustible,

after the battle, he had nearly depleted his Spiritual Energy.

A profound sense of fatigue in his soul made him want to collapse and sleep immediately.

“No, wait!” Li Yelai suddenly looked down at his bare upper body; the Heart of Slaughter was still pulsing.

“How long have I been wearing this?”

It was only now that Li Yelai started to worry.

It seemed he’d had it on for quite a long time.

Was he already influenced by the desire to kill?

Cheese immediately said as he ran up, “It’s been over an hour and a half, quickly take it off…”

Before Cheese could finish speaking, his expression changed.

It seemed that he saw something odd on Li Yelai.

Without hesitation, he shouted, “Speech Spirit·Blast Flame!”

Damn, attacking me directly?

No, I can still be saved.

Wait, there’s something behind me!

Li Yelai reacted with lightning speed, grabbing Cheese’s arm, following up almost immediately.

“Mountain!”

In a flash, the Armored Soldier emerged, and a Shield Wall was erected, protecting both Li Yelai and Cheese within it.

Simultaneously, an explosion was heard, followed by three violent impacts.

The former was Cheese’s Speech Spirit attack; she directly blew up the assailant behind Li Yelai.

And the latter three impacts were his three teammates who were originally rushing to support Li Yelai.

They had collided with the suddenly formed Shield Wall.

Immediately, there were cries and howls.

“Shadow Army?

Kid, how come you have the abilities of the Netherworld?”

“Ah, my nose!”

“Night General, you are not being honorable, let me in!”

Li Yelai’s mouth twitched; he had indeed accidentally injured his teammates.

So, he immediately split a gap in the Shield Wall, allowing Sha Li to squeeze in.

Only then did Li Yelai have the chance to look back,

only to discover that the sneaky attacker whom Cheese blew away was the Black Stone Statue Ghost who had previously been scared away by the Doll’s hair.

At this moment, the Stone Statue Ghost quickly stood up, and its blasted body swiftly reassembled and healed.

It launched another attack on the Shield Wall.

Without a moment’s mourning for the Zhe Lan King’s death, the first to arrive at the battlefield was the Black Stone Statue Ghost!

It punched the Shield Wall so hard it trembled, and clear cracks appeared on it.

Cheese could only swallow a candy and use Spiritual Language to blast the Stone Statue Ghost away again.

“How did this thing get here?” Li Yelai was astonished; he had seen this creature from a distance when he was chasing the Zhe Lan King, and now it had caught up?
