Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 150: Chapter 68: Killing You is Enough_2

Severed arms, decapitated heads, bisected torsos, shattered skulls... The sturdy Black Zombies had seemingly no resistance in front of Li Yelai, who swiftly repelled them.

The people following closely were terrified and astonished by the destructive power Li Yelai displayed.

After all, Li Yelai killed a Black Zombie with each spear thrust, demonstrating more destructive power than even a Fourth Awakening’s Ben Lei.

But in reality, Li Yelai’s power was far inferior to that of Ben Lei, whose every punch was many times stronger than Li Yelai’s.

Each Awakening for Spiritual Ability Users brought significant enhancements, and a Fourth Awakening Spiritual Ability User could even craft their own Virtual Realm Projection, drawing stronger power from the Void Realm.

This was something that Li Yelai, at only a Second Awakening, could not compare with.

The reason Li Yelai was able to easily slaughter the Black Zombies was because of his Overlord’s Double Pupils!

Seeing their weaknesses, Li Yelai barely needed any strength to slice open the Black Zombies, whose flesh was as hard as iron.

Ben Lei, on the other hand, relied entirely on brutal strength to hammer down the Black Zombies. Naturally, his efficiency couldn’t match the true damage inflicted by Li Yelai.

Soon, under Li Yelai’s lead, the team forcefully broke through the encirclement of Black Zombies.

From afar, they saw the defensive position at the corner, which originally belonged to the Ember Church as a defensive node. After being seized by the authorities, it became a gathering place for official teams.

Guarding this location were a squad of Border Iron Guards and a significant number of official teams. They efficiently killed Black Zombies using the defensive structures.

The Iron Guards’ Hot Melt Guns were perfect for dealing with Black Zombies! One gun, one kill! Even if a Black Zombie got close, it would be directly cut by a Chain Saw Axe!

Li Yelai and others were delighted to see that several teams had already gathered here, which was good news for everyone.

However, just as Li Yelai and the others had flipped over a group of Black Zombies and were about to approach the stronghold,

they heard an unsettling noise and felt increasingly intense vibrations.

What was that? A train? A subway?

Li Yelai thought absurdly, but in this underground area, could such things even exist?

The team members inside the stronghold also turned pale and shouted at Li Yelai, ”Don’t come over!”

Then, the Iron Guards and teammates inside the stronghold launched a fierce attack towards a certain direction, but as the vibrations grew stronger,

they had to abandon the entire defensive position, frantically escaping from the stronghold.

Li Yelai and his companions stopped in their tracks, faces filled with astonishment.

The next second, a blinding light tore through the dim, and a terrifying metal monster burst from the underground tunnel, striking hard against the concrete fortifications.

Instantly, debris flew, and the ground shook violently.

That was... that was a large machine with a huge metal drill, a big mechanical device used in underground city construction to quickly dig through hard rock.

After the Underground City was sealed, these giant machines could not be removed and were also sealed in the underground space.

At that moment, the sealed machine restarted and was used by the Ember Church followers as a weapon to destroy the defensive position, smashing through it under the Iron Guards’ fire.

But this impact also rendered the exploration machine completely broken down.

At the same time, the impact caused the entire tunnel to begin to crumble, as if it was about to collapse.

Following the machine, a dozen Red Robed Congregation emerged.

Their expressions varied—some indifferent, some fervent, some hateful.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the defensive position, they madly charged at the official teams, appearing to seek mutual destruction.

The official teams immediately counterattacked, suppressing nearby Black Zombies while engaging in fierce combat with the Red Robed Congregation!

However, soon, a voice rang out.

”To worship my Lord, I offer my body.” Several fervent followers shouted crazily, and then, they astonishingly pulled out daggers and plunged them into their own chests. Did they commit suicide?

The faces of the official teammates changed in unison; this was a prayer to some entity!

This was the last thing they wanted to see.

”Be cautious!” shouted the official squad.

Following the congregation’s act of suicide, one of the Red Robed followers let out a pitiful scream. Immediately, his Soul Well exploded violently, and his body burst apart.

Amidst the splattering blood and flesh, several thick tentacles stretched out, and then a bloated monster over three meters tall, covered with tumors and having a massive arm, and pale skin, burst through the blood mist.

It emitted a piercing howl, causing many combatants to feel dizzy. Even the Spiritual Ability Users felt their Soul Wells shake.

These Ember Church followers had actually sacrificed themselves, voluntarily twisted their companion, turning them into a Void Realm Creature? Sheer madness!

”It’s a Chaos Egg, suppress it immediately! Quick!” Several Fourth Awakening official Spiritual Ability Users furiously attacked the Chaos Egg.

In an instant, the battle became fiercely intense.

Special forces, Border Iron Guard, Disaster Handlers, and Red Robed Congregation, along with Chaos Eggs and Black Zombies clashed fiercely.

Screams and wails mixed with the sound of falling rocks echoed throughout the battlefield.

The team Li Yelai was part of also joined the fight.

Li Yelai’s long spear swung like a dragon, shattering one Black Zombie after another.

Suddenly, he sensed darkness above him as a huge piece of rebar from the metal ceiling crashed down.

Calamity had indeed arrived!

Li Yelai was taken aback and was about to switch to the Champion Marquis Face to flee when he realized that there were still three special forces members next to him.

He could run, but they definitely couldn’t!

So, Li Yelai swiftly swung his long spear, tossing those special forces members away.

But undoubtedly, this slowed his actions. As another member was flung away, the rebar smashed down.

Li Yelai had no time to dodge and could only switch Faces in an instant.

Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu, Champion Marquis!

Wind Forest Fire Mountain, Immovable as a Mountain!

A sturdy Shield Wall emerged, which was then submerged by the rebar.

The heavy rebar and cement blocks fell, making the Shield Wall wobble, but it ultimately held!

Li Yelai was relieved, but then the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked and collapsed.

Then, he fell into a pit. The heavy rebar and cement above also pressed down, making it impossible for Li Yelai to use Aerial Stepping to escape upwards.

He could only be dragged down into the space below.

It was deep below. Although this kind of height wouldn’t kill a Spiritual Ability User, the unknown tons of rebar and cement pressing down from above were another matter.

Damn it!

Li Yelai roared, fiercely kicking at the cement block above, making his fall even faster.

Then, he used Aerial Stepping again, barely dodging most of the falling rebar and cement.

However, he was still hit by several pieces of rebar, heavily smashing onto the ground.

Li Yelai felt a surge of tightness in his chest, then quickly got to his feet.

Having narrowly escaped death, he switched back to the Overlord Face without a moment’s relief.

For along with him, five Black Zombies had fallen to this level!

”Calamity has come, and it’s unstoppable! At least I didn’t harm my teammates,” Li Yelai complained as his long spear danced in his hand, executing Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Spirit Snake Emerges!

Instantly piercing through the necks of two Black Zombies, then swiftly spinning his long spear, shattering their bodies.

Continuing the momentum, he swung back horizontally, performing Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Elephant Step!

Directly bisecting the three rushing Black Zombies at their waist.

Suddenly, he heard a strangely frenzied laughter.

”Nice technique! Truly a brave warrior!” The man was bare-chested, with red tattoo patterns on his skin.

Holding a large knife, he spat out blood and stepped out from the pile of rebar.

Clearly, he had also been crushed by the recent collapse.

”What path are you exactly?” The tattooed man stopped ten meters away from Li Yelai, rubbing his large knife, as fresh blood slid off the blade.

This caused Li Yelai’s gaze to turn icy, blood on the knife meant he had recently harmed, or even killed a teammate.

”Wanxiang!”

”Oh? Speaking of which, I just slaughtered one of your informants. Oh yes, he was also from the Wanxiang Path. He said his colleagues would avenge him,” the tattooed man grinned: ”He also said that, being a Third Awakening, he would be stronger than me. Now, I finally have the chance to see just how strong you Handlers’ Third Awakening is.”

A Wanxiang Path informant? Li Yelai remembered the Dark Pile who had been bisected.

His expression instantly darkened.

”I am a Second Awakening, but...”

Li Yelai held the spear in one hand and crushed a Black Zombie’s head underfoot. His imposing heavy pupils gazed down at the tattooed man.

”Killing you will be enough!”
