Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 249: Chapter 117: Spiritual Energy Phased Array!

The Forbidden Army Insect’s strength was formidable: its speed, power, and defense had reached, or even surpassed, the level of a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User.

It was currently the most dangerous unit of the Insect Race known to humans!

But even it couldn’t face the siege of several Captain-Level powerhouses at the same time.

The first to strike was none other than Champion Yang Chen!

He wielded the Sky Halberd, his blood-red cape fluttering without wind, as he activated his Spiritual Ability, transforming into the Martial Saint Form!

His blood surged, and his skin turned a deep red.

Activating his ability, Vajra Body!

Golden light shone from his eyes as his body’s strength soared once more!

Then, with a fierce push of his legs, the mere aftereffects of his Aerial Stepping shattered the buildings behind him.

Like a crimson meteor, he sliced through the sky and crashed directly into the Forbidden Army Insect. Barrier-breaking sounds exploded, astonishingly outpacing the speed of the Forbidden Army Insect!

The Forbidden Army Insect, sensing the threat, pumped its muscles as its four arms instantly closed together, its solid and sturdy bone armor forming its most robust barrier. The sharp bone spikes were intimidating. This was its defense tactic; facing Champion Yang Chen, it dared not be careless or take the offensive. Only this thick armor could provide it a semblance of safety.

Had Yang Chen been wary of the bone spikes and therefore slowed down, it would have found an opportunity to strike.

However, in the next second, the crimson meteor completely disregarded the danger of the bone spikes and fiercely smashed against the Forbidden Army Insect’s closed bone-armored arms.

’Boom’—The massive roar echoed across the battlefield, and the twenty-meter-tall Forbidden Army Insect was blasted over a hundred meters into the air. Its arm armor shattered, blood flowing freely.

Could its strength be so immense? Was its bodily strength even surpassing its own?

In a brief moment of astonishment, the Forbidden Army Insect twisted its body, preparing to swiftly dissipate the force and recover.

However, Yang Chen, grabbing a Throwing Spear scattered in midair behind him, hurled it with all his might!

’Swish’—Only after the Throwing Spear hit the Insect’s chest armor did the whistling sound of the sonic boom reach its ears.

To the Forbidden Army Insect, the Throwing Spear was like a toothpick, but its force was immense, not only breaking the surface of its thick bone armor but also propelling the already airborne creature sideways once more.

Yang Chen seemed unwilling to let it land, continuing to hurl Throwing Spears, striking with agility and precision on the Insect’s thick armor, keeping the creature, which was supposed to hit the ground, flying horizontally time and again.

In an instant, he had launched the Forbidden Army Insect over seven hundred meters.

Finally, Yang Chen kicked the base of a Throwing Spear, delivering the most violent strike.

The chest bone armor of the Forbidden Army Insect was shattered but blocked by its Spiritual Barrier.

”Is it over?” the Forbidden Army Insect thought, feeling even if the bone armor defense was lost, it was no matter—it still had the ability to flee the battlefield. It had to thank the Human Champion for blasting it so far away.

However, a figure confronted it eye-to-eye midair.

It was a short-haired female clad in red armor.

She was the second Captain of the West City Branch, a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User of the Wanxiang Path, Lie Yang!

The next second, a giant golden three-legged bird appeared behind Lie Yang. That was... the mythical Three-legged Golden Crow!

Mimicry—Lie Yang’s Golden Crow!

It was the mythological creature, the Golden Crow, in myth the embodiment of Lie Yang.

But here, mimicked by the Wanxiang Path, she transformed into Lie Yang!

A massive fireball condensed in midair and then exploded with a roar!

In an instant, the rampant light and heat almost illuminated the entire Disaster Fog. It was like a colossal bomb detonating, the terrifying thermal blast and impact hitting the Forbidden Army Insect midair!

The explosion sent the Forbidden Army Insect plummeting into the ground, blasting nearly a hundred-meter-wide crater on the surface.

Still, the Forbidden Army Insect hadn’t died; it writhed with its ignited body, steadfastly rising from the crater.

However, it saw outside the crater, the debris in ruins rapidly floating and condensing. Eventually, high above, they formed into a massive treasure sword.

That was a treasure sword even larger than the Forbidden Army Insect!

And a middle-aged man with graying temples stood at the base of the sword, gazing down from high above at the Forbidden Army Insect beneath.

The Captain of Headquarters Team One, also the current strongest Captain in the Disaster Fog, an old general who had battled alongside the Old Mad King, an Awakened Spirit User of the Divine Protection Path, the Sword Madman!

The colossal sword plummeted like a meteorite!

The Forbidden Army Insect’s liver and gallbladder wanted to split, but it found its body paralyzed. When had the red Thunder spread all over its body, firmly locking its movements? It was Moon Shadow’s vast Thunder Pond! Within the Thunder Pond, even the living would be struck by the electric current, falling into paralysis!

The Forbidden Army Insect could only watch helplessly as the enormous sword fell, unable to dodge.

It vainly waved its four arms in an attempt to withstand the colossal sword.

But it was crushed under the immense force, its arm bones shattered, its body pitilessly impaled. In that moment, the Forbidden Army Insect’s frenzied screams echoed throughout the Disaster Fog.

A single Insect facing four Captains ended as it should.

...

On the other side, Li Yelai watched the scene unfold with immense shock.

Naturally, the killing of the Forbidden Army Insect had nothing to do with him.

Even with his special abilities, he couldn’t participate in such high-level combat, but he still felt the strong power of the Captains.

Captain Yang Chen, relying on his robust physique and strength, had managed to blast the twenty-meter-tall Forbidden Army Insect hundreds of meters away. This was the True Martial Path, layering strength and skills for a decisive blow!

And that Captain who turned into the Three-legged Golden Crow was likely the Wanxiang Path, right? A human-shaped nuclear bomb! He wondered if his future All Phenomena Ability could achieve such a mythic level of Mimicry?
