Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 299: Chapter 140 Funeral_2

The twisted Ben Lei momentarily displayed a glimpse of astonishment before bursting into furious laughter.

”He’s a formidable opponent, Flying Hero, get ready to assist! Employ covering tactics!”

The face on Ben Lei’s abdomen then responded, ”Yes, Captain!”

As his words fell, the deeply cut crimson muscles on his arm quickly healed.

This caused everyone’s expressions to change once more, rapid healing?

Ben Lei’s defense was already abnormal, and now that his defenses were finally breached, the wounds were quickly repaired?

How should they respond? As expected, they still needed to wait for reinforcements to arrive!

”Don’t push yourself too hard, Night General!” Huang Tu spoke up, summoning stone puppets to completely surround Ben Lei.

”I’m not being reckless... I’m here to deliver him... This has been promised already,” Li Yelai responded.

Having become Ben Lei’s Funeral Attendant, he must fulfill this responsibility! It was the fulfillment of a pledge and vow!

The recent head-on clash had numbed the base of his palm. Simultaneously, a force poured into his body, causing stabbing pain in his chest as if all his organs were under attack.

But quickly, as his heartbeat grew stronger, a potent Life Force spread throughout his body, swiftly eliminating the pain.

At the same time, the Abyss Dragon Scales on Li Yelai’s body shivered, and golden patterns emerged.

Possessing the Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scales, his defensive power was equally strong, and he also had the ability to heal quickly.

He had the ability to fulfill this oath!

Thus, he lifted the Azure Dragon Halberd once again, as his fighting spirit surged to the heavens.

”Ben Lei, let me witness the might of the Cavalry! Let me witness your bravery and strength!”

The Azure Dragon Halberd danced in his hands, turning into streaks of azure lightning. His movements were precise and fluid, with each stroke as powerful as a dragon leaping from the sea.

Ben Lei’s muscles throbbed all over his body, and the bulging muscles writhed and pushed out like a mass of snakes!

”You will! You’ll see!” Ben Lei roared, screaming faces on his body echoing the roar.

He stomped the ground, invoking the True Martial Path, the Shock Stepping Wave!

In an instant, the entire hospital shook, and the ground beneath Li Yelai’s feet fractured in a moment.

But Li Yelai didn’t retreat; he leaped into the air, controlled his step, and lunged forward with Burst Step—Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Rhinoceros Charge!

Ben Lei, however, transformed his hand into a knife, and the blade-like hand struck horizontally to block.

’Boom’

His arm collided with the long spear, emitting a sharp clang of metal.

The shockwave from the impact caused both of their bodies to jolt, but they quickly clashed again.

Li Yelai brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd with each strike precise and forceful. Ben Lei swung his iron fists, each punch carrying destructive power.

Every collision resounded crisply, each attack accompanied by the hissing sound of cutting wind.

The Azure Dragon Halberd pierced Ben Lei’s thigh, the spear’s ear twisted, a vortex surged, burrowing into the wound, ripping off a chunk of flesh.

Iron fists struck Li Yelai’s shoulder, shattering numerous Dragon Scales.

Tough red muscles were sliced open, sturdy Abyss Dragon Scales were broken.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the walls red. But neither of them flinched, engaging in a bloody brawl once more.

Li Yelai’s heartbeat resonated like a war drum, as the robust Life Force contained within his heart surged out wildly, healing Li Yelai’s internal and external injuries.

In such a perilous moment, he remained eerily calm, all the Weaknesses clearly exposed under his Heavy Pupil.

The roars of Ben Lei were filled with an intensity of madness and bliss. He finally, once again, battled alongside his comrades!

Sparks flew between their attacks, the air heavy with the thick scent of metal and blood.

Their combat was decisive and resolute, so reckless in nature.

Every strike was with full power.

Both were masters with immense physical prowess, now embroiled in a brutal fight where every blow drew blood, savage and shocking!

”It’s too insane! The Night General is also a madman!” Huang Tu frowned deeply, wanting to intervene but afraid of harming Li Yelai.

”Just leave it to the Night General then,” a voice arose behind Huang Tu, and she turned to see the Melting Furnace Captain.

At that moment, the robust man was silently observing the two fighters, yet he made no move.

Seconds later, he finally spoke, ”Let it be, let the Night General send him off... That’s his final wish.”

”Can Night General really overpower Ben Lei?” Huang Tu was astonished.

The Melting Furnace sighed, ”It’s too repressive, under Weakness Perception, he shouldn’t continue using the Vajra Body...”

And the reinforcements arriving silently watched the frenzied slaughter.

They had already seen the defeat of Ben Lei.

Ben Lei’s wounds were healing, but the speed of recovery began to slow. His Vajra Body was also becoming indistinct. His defensive power was no longer strong.

Li Yelai spat blood from the impact of the Inner Strength, his Abyss Dragon Scale severely damaged, but the golden patterns on his body grew brighter.

Ben Lei, sensing danger, dragged his scarred body back several steps.

”Copper Elephant! Cover the flank!”

Copper Elephant gave no response; the face on its shoulder had been pierced by Li Yelai.

”Mi Hu, perform mental disruption!”

Mi Hu still did not respond; his face had been slashed by Li Yelai.

”Flying Hero! Support from a distance!”

”Orchid, bind his movements!”

Ben Lei remained silent, then suddenly shouted, ”Ranger, assemble!”

Muscles bulged, Spiritual Energy was drained, and the faces were repaired again.

”Yes!” Ben Lei exclaimed with joy, ”You are all still here, you haven’t left me behind! Let’s go face the formidable enemy again!”

His voice was already panting, his Vajra Body continuously being breached, along with the rapid recovery of his physical body, resulted in severe exhaustion of his stamina and Spiritual Energy.

But he was still full of confidence, leading his most excellent teammates, he would surely overcome the formidable enemy before him!

Opposite him, Li Yelai’s Abyss Dragon Scale had completely shattered, his clothes torn to shreds, but golden patterns spread across his body.

At this moment, Ben Lei seemed to have sobered a bit, asking, ”Night General, have the Rangers won?”

Li Yelai paused, then, holding his long spear, he drew closer, ”Yes, they won. I’m no match for them...”

This was the truth; Ben Lei alone had pushed him to this point, if the full Ranger squad were here, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

Ben Lei gasped, looking towards the Melting Furnace Captain not far away, ”Captain... have the Rangers won?”

”We won, the Rangers won!” the Melting Furnace Captain replied with a smile, but tears fell from his eyes, ”They’re waiting for you...”

”Good... winning is good... I knew it... the Rangers wouldn’t lose...” Ben Lei gasped as he looked at Li Yelai, ”As long as we gather together... we won’t lose... now, I want to keep on winning with them... as long as we are together...”

His body twisted again, muscles beginning to swell once more.

He madly lunged at Li Yelai, his muscles morphing into a massive fist!

Li Yelai, on the other hand, wiped his face, switching Face, Hated Earth, Li Yuanba.

Divine General Dharma Image!

A Golden Dharma Image appeared, Abyss Dragon Scale Armor!

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Elephant Step!

The Azure Dragon Halberd instantly struck down, knocking Ben Lei out of the air.

In the last moment before being knocked down, Ben Lei revealed a smile; he saw his teammates coming to catch him, he knew they would not abandon him...

...

In a daze, Li Yelai returned to the Dream Space.

Within the space, he saw Ben Lei, whom he had laid to rest.

Ben Lei had returned to his original appearance, confusedly exploring through the mist.

But Li Yelai felt a chill run down his spine; why was Ben Lei here?

Could it be? Mr. Shadow wanted to devour Ben Lei as a sacrifice as well?

The next second, a huge black tentacle suddenly extended from the mist, swiftly wrapping around Ben Lei.

Damn it!

”Scram!” Li Yelai roared.

And with his roar, the space shook.

Countless chains stretched out from the mist, entwining the tentacle, preventing it from advancing.

Mr. Shadow’s indifferent and mocking laughter came from the mist, then the tentacle disappeared.

Only then did Ben Lei see Li Yelai, which surprised him and also filled him with guilt.

”You really are special, Night General...” Ben Lei whispered with a laugh, ”The rest... is up to you.”

Then he dissipated into the mist...
