Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 214: Chapter 101 Charge!

Within the fierce and bloody battlefield, Li Yelai mounted his Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt and soared into the sky.

The warriors still fighting on the ground felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

And the panicked masses defending against the Insect Swarm thought Li Yelai was fleeing the battle.

Some were stunned, some cursed, some cried.

Before this, Li Yelai had fought in various battlefields, saving many people. The image of him, one man and his horse, had already been engraved in everyone’s minds.

Whenever they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, people always felt much more at ease.

Some young girls, full of springtime fantasies, believed he was the white knight come to rescue them.

But the moment he fled the battlefield, all hope and favor turned to malice.

”You can flee, we all have the great fear of death. If you don’t want to die here, then flee! The will to live is instinctive!”

”But why did you flee so openly? Don’t you know that this will dishearten everyone?”

”You deserter, you coward!”

However, all the malice vanished in the next instant.

For the young man riding the Dragon Colt high into the sky brandished his long spear and charged toward the Mountain Dragon!

Alone, with his horse, he audaciously charged into the overwhelming Insect Swarm!

And the swarm seemed to notice his actions, immediately splitting from their assault on the human troops and pursuing him!

Thunder split the vast sky, and the Insect Swarm surged accordingly, as though they intended to devour that streak of thunder.

But the onlookers heard Li Yelai’s roaring challenge: ”Come at me! Let me see what you’ve got!”

He called out, like a war song from afar, telling of human courage! Charging into the jaws of death!

Through countless blades, my bravery still stands tall at the gates of hell!

And everyone just stared in shock at this scene.

”He’s running away?”

”No, he’s gone mad!”

Someone slapped their own face in realization.

Was that a retreat? He was drawing the attention of the Insect Swarm, providing cover for the civilians and his comrades! And to think I doubted the Night General?

”I deserve to die!”

”We... we must go support him!”

”Support my ass, can you even keep up?”

”Do you want to waste the chance he’s fighting for?”

”Retreat immediately, don’t waste the opportunity the Night General has created for us!”

”Quick!”

The warriors, with tears in their eyes, continued to break through. They couldn’t recklessly follow Li Yelai’s lead but had to take advantage of the respite he had won for them to save as many civilians as possible!

Cheese watched Li Yelai’s receding figure, feeling a pang in her heart.

She instinctively wanted to catch up and fight alongside him. To share in the danger and hardship.

But her reason told her that she was currently unable to catch up to Li Yelai’s speed and couldn’t provide any help. She would only be a distraction.

”Come back alive...” she whispered softly, praying.

On the other side, the officials were frantically attacking the Mountain Dragon, whose Spiritual Power Strength was almost equal to an Awakened Spirit User of the Seventh Awakening.

If it were a Seventh Awakening Spiritual Ability User, the officials could surround and kill them.

But the Mountain Dragon was too massive, its body covered in a thick, mountain-like rock Armor.

Whether it was artillery, Hot Melt Bombs, or powerful output Skills from Spiritual Ability Users, none of it was significant against such a colossal creature.

Thus, the Mountain Dragon was able to withstand the assault of both the Insect Swarm and humans, relentlessly advancing.

It was so tough that it could sweep through all the buildings within the Disaster Fog before it died.

”Has the Doll arrived?” a Processor shouted after slaying a giant War Worm.

Currently, there weren’t many methods to deal with the Mountain Dragon.

Either they could directly invite the Old Mad King from outside the Disaster Fog into it, and with a king’s combat power, skewer the Mountain Dragon with a single thrust!

But that suggestion was immediately dismissed.

The Old Mad King could not enter the Disaster Fog, at least not until the location of the Disaster Fog’s master was determined.

After all, humanity’s enemies were not limited to the Disaster Fog. All the Forbidden Zones were stirring. The Old Mad King absolutely could not leave the Physical World for an extended period.

The second point was to use Abilities to interfere with its movements. It was highly difficult; the Mountain Dragon’s Spiritual Resistance was almost equal to a Seventh Awakening Spiritual Ability User, and its physical body was incredibly robust and powerful.

Its Spiritual Resistance was high, so ordinary Abilities were unlikely to work.

The third point was to use a Curse!

The Mountain Dragon’s Spiritual Resistance was high, and its curse resistance was not weak either, but the officials had higher-level Curses!

Namely, the source of Fear from the Doll!

As long as the Doll appeared, the Mountain Dragon, once immersed in Fear, could potentially change its course.

This was currently the best tactical solution for the officials.

”No good, the Doll has been delayed! The Insect Swarm has seen through our plan!” a Processor yelled frantically: ”The swarm intends to use the Mountain Dragon to shatter our defence network!”

”Damn it! They’re really fucking clever!” a Captain roared, but at that moment, he saw thunder flash in the distance.

”Who is that?” the Captain shouted.

A Processor with the Spiritual Eyes Path slightly narrowed his eyes. His gaze instantly crossed miles to see the silhouette within the swarm and the thunder.

”That’s the Night General from Champion Team One! An Awakened Spirit User of the Third Awakening!”

”Champion Yang Chen’s subordinate? If Yang Chen himself has a tough head, his subordinate is even tougher! Tell the Night General to retreat quickly; this is not a battlefield he should be on! Don’t waste life!” the Captain shouted.

Immediately, a Spiritual Ability User called out: ”Night General, retreat!”

The voice echoed through the Void Realm, reaching Li Yelai’s ears.

Li Yelai was startled but did not stop or flee, instead he shouted, ”Cover me! I have a way to deal with the Mountain Dragon!”

Li Yelai’s curses were terrifying, dangerous Calamity, vehicle killer, Heavenly Thunder, You Must Meet Strong Enemies...

In the Disaster Fog, those curses would be enhanced like never before.
