Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 345: Chapter 164 Seduction Tactics

Li Yelai had just returned to the East City Branch when he received the news that Captain Yang Chen was preparing to be promoted to the Seventh Awakening.

Unlike Li Yelai and Cheese, who were Four Awakenings Spiritual Ability Users and could be promoted in the Awakening Room of the branch, reaching Yang Chen’s level meant that once he advanced further, even just the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy during the promotion process could destroy nearby buildings. The devastation to the surroundings was extremely strong.

Also, it would inevitably attract the attention of many Void Realm Creatures. The projection of Spiritual Energy at that level was too dazzling, and many Void Realm Creatures would be disturbed.

If it were close to the Forbidden Zone, it might even provoke an assault from the Forbidden Zone Creatures. The parties in the Forbidden Zone certainly did not wish for another Spiritual Dominator among humans!

Thus, when Li Yelai arrived at the branch, he didn’t even catch sight of Yang Chen.

Yang Chen had already left the branch, and might have even left Giant City, preparing to promote in secrecy somewhere.

It was predicted that he wouldn’t show himself in Giant City for some time.

But everyone knew that when he reappeared, he would inevitably emerge in an even more powerful form to protect humanity and Giant City!

This was undoubtedly a joyous event for humanity!

On the human side, or rather, at No.3 Border City, the hierarchy of combat strength was quite severe.

No.1 and No.2 Border Cities, without a King, were presided over by a Supreme and several Overlord level powerhouses.

The advantage of No.3 Border City lay in having a King seated there.

However, there were no Supreme powerhouses, and there were only two Overlord level powerhouses who seemed unlikely to advance further.

Now, with the emergence of a new Overlord, humanity’s foundation would be somewhat stronger. The situation could at least improve slightly...

However, before leaving the branch, Yang Chen had issued new orders.

A group of elite Night Collectors was to conduct special training for Li Yelai.

”Special training?” Li Yelai looked somewhat bewildered at the brawny man in front of him.

The man was dressed in the pitch-black coat of the Night Collectors, but his shoulders were covered with Lamellar Armor shoulder guards.

This signaled that he was one of the elite amongst the Night Collectors!

In the tradition of Champion Team One, the most elite batch of Night Collector groups would inherit the titles of ancient elite armies.

Such as, the Hu Ben Army, the White Robed Army of the Southern Dynasty, the Black Armor Army of the early Tang Dynasty, the Beiwei Army of the Southern Song, and so on...

These strong and elite Night Collectors, just one step away from becoming captains, would be bestowed the honor of wearing armor on their coats.

The epitome of elites!

The robust man in front of him was a member of the ’Hu Ben’ group, known as the Five Senses Night Collector, Long Lie!

He had singled out Li Yelai and brought him to an unoccupied training room.

Long Lie’s body was incredibly robust, but his face was amiable, like a teacher.

If one could ignore the terrifying muscles that could strangle a Flying Dragon and just look at his face, one might even think he was a civilian officer.

Long Lie smiled and said, ”The captain has instructed so, from now on, your training will be our responsibility.”

Li Yelai scratched his head and asked, ”What kind of training are you referring to? Spiritual Power Elite Transformation? Or Spiritual Ability Toughening?”

Li Yelai had not yet fully mastered these two techniques, especially toughening.

”Neither... Also, Night General, it seems you’ve offended entities you shouldn’t have,” Long Lie said in a low voice.

Li Yelai was startled and then asked, ”Who do you mean? It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but there are quite a few entities I’ve offended.”

Long Lie however chuckled softly, ”Then I’m sorry...”

What? Sorry for what?

Li Yelai was a bit puzzled but instinctively tensed his muscles.

And in the next instant, Long Lie’s arm muscles crazily bulged, and he underwent a violent surge of blood and energy!

At the same time, Li Yelai felt a terrifyingly dangerous sensation.

His heart pounded wildly, booming like war drums. It was almost an instinct, Li Yelai activated Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

His body was instantly covered in black Scale Armor, and he decisively threw a punch!

The two fists collided thunderously, and instantly, the air around them seemed to twist from the force!

Li Yelai’s physique was incredibly strong, having been enhanced by the Heart of Slaughter and Scarlet Tree Liquid, he was a rare match at his level!

However, Long Lie’s strength was not to be underestimated. The muscles on his arms, seeming to contain infinite power, pulsed with each movement, giving Li Yelai a tremendous sense of oppression. His heartbeat became even more intense, each beat seeming to remind him that this was a life-and-death battle, and any slight mishap could lead to utter collapse!

Why? What was Long Lie doing? Killing under the guise of special training?

For whom? Ark Chosen Ones? Or the Forbidden Zone?

That shouldn’t be it, right? He was an elite Night Collector, how could he be a traitor?

Li Yelai had no time to think more, the terrible sense of crisis made him use his full power instantly!

Two massive forces collided, causing a strong gust of wind.

Li Yelai felt a numbness in his arms, staggered back several steps, and several Dragon Scales fell from his arms.

Long Lie was stronger than him!

That made sense, Long Lie was a Five Senses True Martial, also enhanced by the Heart of Slaughter and Scarlet Tree Liquid!

”Enemy attack!”

Li Yelai shouted and took the opportunity to fall back, grabbing the Big Black Umbrella leaning against the side.

But Long Lie made no response, and instantly leaped forward, aiming a knee at Li Yelai’s head.

Even with the defense of Abyss Dragon Scale, this strike was enough to concuss Li Yelai!

Li Yelai did not hesitate any longer, smashing out with the Big Black Umbrella in hand.

Spiritual Power Elite Transformation!

In this moment, the toughness of the Big Black Umbrella surged, even a mere lashing could sever an enemy’s body!

However, the moment the Big Black Umbrella collided with Long Lie’s knee, its titanium alloy ribs twisted instantly, the umbrella fabric torn by immense force, revealing the Azure Dragon Halberd inside.
