Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 219: Chapter 103: A Method to Break Through the Disaster Fog

Li Yelai, holding a damaged long spear, fiercely broke into the Insect Swarm.

He stomped on a rolling worm, exploding it, and swung his long spear to smash all the approaching Flying Beetles.

Then, his spear danced, drawing perfect circles.

Whether it was the rolling worms trying to explode themselves or the Flying Beetles with sharp claws and mouthparts,

none could breach Li Yelai’s spear defense. The approaching swarm of insects, without exception, was smashed or pierced by the long spear.

In the eyes of the human team, Li Yelai was as heroic as a god of war.

He plunged into the swarm, sweeping through them unimpeded.

This forced the four Hunting Insects that were attacking the human team to again hide in the shadows.

Li Yelai gripped his long spear, not retreating but advancing further into the swarm!

He noticed that the most dangerous in this Insect Tide were these four Hunting Insects. If he could hold them off, the human team could maintain their defense!

But four was still a tough number.

Without using his Face technique, Li Yelai couldn’t possibly face four Hunting Insects at the same time.

These Hunting Insects specialized in stealth and close combat within the swarm. With four hands against two, they indeed had four limbs! Four Hunting Insects, sixteen arms!

Therefore, Li Yelai chose to stack armor, go!

He decisively activated Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

The moment the illusory armor projection appeared on his body, a Hunting Insect’s tail stung suddenly penetrated the wall behind Li Yelai, directly attacking him from behind.

A typical sinister strike, the Hunting Insect’s role is that of a battlefield assassin and stealth master.

Thus, they avoid frontal combat at all costs.

At the opportune moment, they would apply their claws and tail sting, capable of shredding the Spiritual Barrier of a Third Awakening Spirit User, to their target to secure victory in a single strike.

Thus, many powerful Spiritual Ability Users, if confronted head-on, wouldn’t be challenged by Hunting Insects. But on the complex battlefield, they might get hit before even locating their assailant.

However, at this moment,

A ’crack’ sound echoed as the sharp tail sting was blocked by the Scale Armor.

Even the tip of the tail sting broke off.

The effect of the Abyss Dragon Scale is to enhance defensive power, and Li Yelai’s inherent physical strength was already higher than that of a Third Awakening Spirit User, his enhanced defensive power becoming incredibly impressive.

The Hunting Insect could only penetrate a few Scale Armors but could not advance further.

Feeling the failed sneak attack, the Hunting Insect quickly tried to withdraw its tail but Li Yelai caught it with a backhand.

Li Yelai grabbed the tail sting with his left hand, his muscles bulging as he swiftly turned around, wrapping it around his waist while dragging, and his right hand’s long spear piercing directly through the wall.

Then, with a fierce pull of his right hand, he collapsed the wall, picking out the hiding Hunting Insect behind it.

The long spear was already thrust into the side of the Hunting Insect, which struggled in pain, unable to exert force being picked up like that.

It was a shocking sight. The Hunting Insect, over two and a half meters tall due to its body structure, appeared immense. Yet, it was single-handedly lifted by Li Yelai’s spear.

Li Yelai didn’t delay, after lifting the Hunting Insect, he forcefully twisted his body and slammed it to the ground.

’Boom’ — The deformed head of the Hunting Insect was fiercely impaled on the ground. The immense force directly broke the Insect’s neck.

As soon as Li Yelai had crushed the first Hunting Insect’s head, he confronted the second one.

It silently fell from above Li Yelai’ head, its four arms moving simultaneously, drawing dangerous shadows of its claws.

These were weapons capable of tearing through the thick Power Armor of the Iron Guard.

Li Yelai didn’t have time to dodge, nor did he need to!

By performing Aerial Stepping, he thrust forward, not retreating but diving into the embrace of the Hunting Insect, embracing it!

The sharp claws fell, leaving several marks on Li Yelai’s Scale Armor but were unable to shatter it quickly.

The Hunting Insect was surprised internally but swiftly extended two arms to grab Li Yelai’s long spear, while the other two grabbed his shoulders, viciously tearing at the Scale Armor, trying to use its body weight to suppress him.

The remaining two Hunting Insects swiftly closed in.

No matter how high the defense, as long as there is no counterattack, one can only passively endure hits, and sooner or later your defense will be shredded!

This thought was correct! With it suppressing Li Yelai, its two comrades along with the swarm attacked Li Yelai. Given some time, Li Yelai would undoubtedly die!

But before the two other Hunting Insects got close, they heard Li Yelai’s heartbeat growing stronger and stronger.

’Boom, boom, boom’

The powerful heartbeat thundered like drums of war, Li Yelai decisively let go of the long spear grasped by two arms and stretched out his hands, grasping the upper and lower jaws of the Hunting Insect.

Under the shocked gaze of the Hunting Insect, Li Yelai spread his hands, his muscles flexing.

’Rip’

In the next second, he actually tore off the Hunting Insect’s lower jaw. The intense pain caused the tense body of the Hunting Insect to slacken, and Li Yelai took the opportunity to wrap around its neck, twisting his body hard.

’Crack’, he actually twisted off the Hunting Insect’s neck. Then, with its head hanging limply, it fell powerlessly to the ground.

Don’t forget, Li Yelai not only had high defensive power but also great strength!

Purely in terms of strength, the Hunting Insects were no match for him!

And his desire for slaughter was incredibly strong, making Li Yelai very eager to chop off the heads of these Hunting Insects.

Kill, kill, kill! All could be killed!

He grabbed the body of the second dead Hunting Insect, swung it powerfully, and smashed the approaching swarm of insects.

The approaching third and fourth Hunting Insects, without hesitation, wielded their sharp claws, cutting their comrade’s body open, and pounced towards Li Yelai.
