Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 338: Chapter 160 Dead End_2

The two Heavy Cavalry Corps collided without hesitation!

At that instant, the sound of the ghostly creatures seemed to vanish, followed by a world-shattering noise!

Warhorses whinnied, blades clashed, armors collided, and countless Yin Soldiers wailed in agony.

Leading the charge, Li Yelai thrust his long spear, piercing through two Yin Heavy Cavalry. Their bodies initially bent his spear, yet they could not stop Li Yelai’s advance.

Li Yelai twisted his spear, flinging the bodies of the two Heavy Cavalry, launching another attack from his long spear before they even hit the ground.

Like a sharp sword!

Even amidst a sea of thousands, Li Yelai possessed the strength to carve his way through the Yin Soldiers’ ranks alone!

Behind him, more of his Shadow Army’s Heavy Cavalry transformed into monstrous beings, brutally breaking through and widening the gap!

The Yin Soldier Commander’s hairs stood on end—figuratively, as he no longer possessed any.

But the fear was still present.

As the strongest among the Yin Soldiers, he was supposed to lead his trusted aides and charge at Li Yelai.

If they could intercept Li Yelai, there still was hope.

Summoning his courage, he charged towards Li Yelai, his massive war axe aimed at him.

Li Yelai’s spear shot out simultaneously.

The clash numbed the Yin Soldier Commander’s arms, and his warhorse beneath him wailed in pain.

However, both parties merely contacted and continued their charge thereafter.

In the midst of the charge, neither side would stop.

Or more precisely, Li Yelai didn’t want to stop! His goal was to slay more Yin Soldiers, easing the pressure on his comrades!

As long as the enemy was dead, his comrades would be safe!

With two hundred riders, Li Yelai could once send War Worms flying. Now, with an even larger number of his Shadow Army enhanced by two military tactics, his charge was unstoppable!

In an instant, many Yin Heavy Cavalry were shattered by the impact. Even if some of the Shadow Army’s Heavy Cavalry were destroyed, more would arrive to replace them.

In the frenzied battlefield, the Yin Soldier Commander roared furiously, his axe bursting with Spiritual Energy, madly smashing the Shadow Army’s Heavy Cavalry. But his surrounding Yin Soldiers were dwindling.

Although he was a fierce warrior, he couldn’t close the gap in the strength of his troops.

When he finally broke through the military formation, only less than thirty of his eight hundred Yin Soldiers remained.

The rest were overwhelmed by the Shadow Army’s Heavy Cavalry, stabbed through, trampled, crushed, or had fled...

The Yin Soldier Commander, filled with shock and rage, saw the slaughter of his subordinates and went completely mad.

He halted his charge on his horse, perhaps cursed by ”You Must Meet Strong Enemies,” and ceased chasing the bride. Instead, he swiftly turned his horse around, leading his remaining trusted aides. He had to kill this human—even if it meant dying on the path of a charge!

Holding a blunted, tattered war axe in one hand, and a Throwing Spear in the other—his strongest attack!

A weapon bestowed upon him by a powerful and noble king, the murderous Throwing Spear!

He would use it to pierce through the human!

To avenge his subordinates!

Thus, he charged at Li Yelai once more, his remaining close aides following right beside him!

On the other hand, Li Yelai landed on the ground after his previous charge, his mount, the Skull Ghost Horse, shattered. Whether it was coincidence or the curse of a vehicle killer, he was back on foot...

But this did not impede his battle prowess.

Seeing the Yin Soldier Commander charge at him again, Li Yelai smiled and said, ”He is indeed a fierce warrior!”

Seven of his Shadow Army’s Heavy Cavalry had just been smashed by this fierce warrior, consuming some of Li Yelai’s Spiritual Energy.

Thus, he removed his Face, causing hundreds of Shadow Army to dissipate behind him.

This caused the Yin Soldier Commander a moment of shock, a flicker of joy in his heart—if there were no legions to protect him, the odds of striking Li Yelai would be greater.

But this was followed by even greater fury.

”How dare you... To withdraw your troops! Do you underestimate me?” He tore off his helmet, revealing a ferocious face as he screamed, his voice echoing through the streets, ”You will pay the price for your arrogance!”

He violently lifted his arm, the murderous Throwing Spear ready to launch.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai raised his right arm, an illusory shadow of a dark gold Dragon Claw exceeding two meters in length emerged on his arm.

As the Dragon Claw materialized, the street lights and electrical devices around splattered sparks.

Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw!

A sudden sense of danger caused the Yin Soldier Commander’s heart to shudder.

Some inner voice warned him, he must not let the opponent use that ability, he had to kill him quickly!

Was it the Gui King? Had he noticed this battlefield? Had he noticed that the Marquis’s bride had been taken?

Too good!

Immediately, the commander of the Yin Soldiers surged with Ghost Energy and hurled a throwing spear directly at Li Yelai who was a hundred meters away. He quickly raised his hand and lowered it, planning to continue throwing! He had to kill Li Yelai before he could use some kind of ability.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai’s Dragon Claw phantom also tightened, and in an instant, a three-meter-long Red Thunder Spear appeared in the midst of the Dragon Claw.

A ranged attack?

The commander of the Yin Soldiers, who hurled the second throwing spear, sneered furiously, his mouth splitting to his ear, revealing his large mouth full of sharp teeth. It’s too late. You’re too slow! By the time you throw the long spear and hit me, you’ll have already been pierced through!

He threw another throwing spear, making it the third one he had thrown!

Three throwing spears shot towards Li Yelai like beads on a string.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, leaned back and then threw the Thunder Spear.

Almost at the same time, the commander of the Yin Soldiers saw a wave of red in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest, why couldn’t he move... why... why couldn’t he feel his body anymore...

Could it be, he had been hit by an attack? But... but he had just thrown the long spear?

Naturally, he didn’t know that Li Yelai’s Thunder Spear was extremely fast and could arrive before it was even launched!

The moment he saw Li Yelai about to throw, the commander, in his charge, had no possibility of evading. The Thunder Spear pierced directly through his barrier, his armor, and his chest!

Now, he could only try desperately to open his eyes wide and look at Li Yelai, hoping his attack would take effect, even if he died, it would be worth taking one down!

Those who break the contract must die!

Then, he witnessed a shocking scene.

Li Yelai’s Dragon Claw grabbed at the first throwing spear!

His strong power and physique allowed him to catch the fired spear directly!

At the same time, Li Yelai quickly swung the throwing spear, smashing it towards the second spear that was in front of him.

With a loud ’bang,’ the second spear was knocked away.

Li Yelai also stepped back a few steps, but he immediately hurled the spear in his hand.

The throwing spear spun in mid-air, accurately smashing towards the third spear.

The two spears collided in mid-air, erupting in a piercing loud roar. Afterward, both spears fell from the sky.

Seeing this, the Yin Soldier Commander painfully closed his eyes, knowing he had lost...

Li Yelai being able to perform such a dangerous move already signified that his strength was beyond comparison, and his trump cards could not harm him.

The commander of the Yin Soldiers could no longer hold on, falling from his horse in the charge, down, and no more sounds were heard.

And Li Yelai shook his arm and looked towards the last group of Yin Soldiers.

They were the commander’s trusted aides. Now that the commander was dead, they, still in shock, chose to charge at Li Yelai!

Yet Li Yelai raised his hand again, the Red Thunder Spear appeared and shot out!

”Charge, charge!” the Yin Soldiers’ trusted aides roared, but a Spiritual Ability User with ranged attacks was too terrifying.

During their charge, half of the trusted aides were pierced directly by the Thunder Spears!

Those charging straight ahead became Li Yelai’s best targets, sometimes one spear piercing through three Yin Soldiers.

But... eventually, some trusted aides reached Li Yelai.

They launched their final counterattack against Li Yelai!

However, what awaited them was the huge Thunder Blade transformed in the midst of Li Yelai’s Dragon Claw!

Li Yelai, already extremely strong in close combat as a Processor, posed only death even to those who approached him!

This was a desperate path to death!

The Thunder Blade swept across, severing the last of the trusted aides, both men and horses, in one stroke!

As the last Yin Soldier died, a voice rose from the depths of the ghostly mire.

”Human, who violates the covenant and kills my War General, you will eventually pay the price!”

The voice was unfamiliar and cold, not that of the Returning Soul man.

Could this be another Returning Soul? War General? Was this commander of the Yin Soldiers a Returning Soul’s War General, not a subordinate of that man?

Li Yelai was not surprised.

As a Processor, he had already encountered too many twists. Whether it was during promotions or during collapses, the powers of the Void Realm always tried to distort them. They were long accustomed to such strangeness.

One threat trying to scare off a Processor, the other side was a bit too arrogant!

Thus, Li Yelai picked up the throwing spear and responded indifferently, ”Oh, I see.”
