Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 408: Chapter 194: Charge!_2

This is the advantage of the Spiritual Ability Path! Manipulating multiple substances, multitasking, overpowering formidable foes!

However, the next second, the Thorny Shield Wall shattered, and Ma Hongyi actually withstood the stabs of several long spears and broke through in front of Gretwin.

His long spear aimed straight for Gretwin’s chest but stopped less than two meters away from him.

Because, dozens of vines had completely entangled Ma Hongyi, wrapping around his arms, legs, body, and neck, preventing him from moving forward.

But the thorns couldn’t injure Ma Hongyi, as a pale golden light covered him, impervious to the thorny spikes.

That was the exclusive ability of the Spiritual Ability Family of the Ma Family, the Holy Veil of the Zero Path.

It could enhance the user’s Spiritual Barrier, compensating for the Zero Path’s shortcomings in close combat.

This was also one of the reasons why Ma Hongyi was extremely strong in melee combat, his Spiritual Barrier was so formidable that just in terms of defensive power, it didn’t lose out to True Martial’s Vajra Body.

But no matter how tough, there comes a time when it can be torn apart!

”How disappointing! Mei Wu really made a mistake back then!” Gretwin roared with angry laughter. It was bad enough that he wasn’t tactical, but now he dared to use such a reckless strategy? Hongyi was nothing but a brute! How could Mei Wu have ever been attracted to such a man?

Just a simple Holy Veil, watch as I tear it apart!

Gretwin’s hands clasped the air, and countless vines gathered, materializing into a giant maw.

He actually intended to crush Ma Hongyi along with the Divine Veil.

He harbored an intense hatred for Ma Hongyi, partly because of the relationship between the Forbidden Zone and Giant City. The two were at odds with each other.

On the other hand, it was because of Mei Wu; whether it was the curse’s fault or not, he adored Mei Wu and was deeply jealous of Ma Hongyi, who once possessed her.

Yet Ma Hongyi revealed a provocative smile: ”Loser in love, Mei Wu... She’s quite delightful!”

This sent Gretwin into a complete rage: ”Die!”

The thorny maw snapped shut!

However, just as the Holy Veil shattered, a ring of light suddenly spread out.

An extremely terrifying impact exploded from Ma Hongyi as the center, causing the Great Cathedral to collapse once again. Li Yelai and Mei Wu, who were fighting, were also affected by the blast, but they were further away, quickly stabilizing their forms and grasping their long weapons to engage in combat once more.

But that thorny maw was instantly torn apart, and Gretwin, who was very close, was directly blown away by the terrifying impact, crashing into a building a hundred meters away, toppling through three houses.

This was Ma Hongyi’s Rebounding Halo! The stronger the attack he received, the stronger the rebound effect.

That was also the reason for his close approach and verbal provocations.

He had to take Gretwin away and away from the battlefield where Li Yelai and Mei Wu were fighting.

Otherwise, because of Mei Wu’s curse, he would not be able to resist protecting her! He couldn’t stay here!

”It’s up to you, comrade!” Ma Hongyi roared, bloodied, suppressing the urge to look back, spear in hand as he leaped into the air and charged towards Gretwin amidst the ruins a hundred meters away.

On the other side, within the collapsing ruins of the cathedral, Mei Wu’s eyes emitted a faint purple light, her Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear continuously smashing down. The Mountain King Avatar continued to violently battle the Golden Dragon.

Eerily, her moves were exactly like Li Yelai’s Single-handed Eighteen Strokes.

Elephant Trample, swarm of bees, Rhinoceros Charge, Spirit Snake, Horse Hoof Thunder!

Like mirror images, the two executed the same techniques, with Mei Wu quickly mastering the combat moves used by Li Yelai.

That was one of Mei Wu’s abilities, Imitation Spirit Eye.

This ability allowed her to see the point of exertion in her target and rapidly record the opponent’s movements, achieving quick learning of techniques.

Although she couldn’t perfectly replicate them in the short term, her skills were very close to Li Yelai’s.

One wielded a spear, and the other a halberd, brutally and savagely fighting.

Their weapons clashed continuously, sparks flying everywhere.

Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear smashed Li Yelai’s Abyss Dragon Scale, and golden dragon shadows scratched several blood marks on Li Yelai’s Scale Armor. The Mountain King Avatar began to struggle against the Dragon Shadow.

The Azure Dragon Halberd sliced across Mei Wu’s shoulder, the spear ear spinning, tearing away a large amount of flesh from Mei Wu’s Angel Wings.

The sound of weapons colliding echoed through the ruins, the bodily fluids of the two intermingling in mid-air.

Sweat and blood dribbled down, their arms blurring from the backlash, but neither showed any sign of retreat.

Mei Wu felt fear in the presence of Li Yelai, and it had nothing to do with power.

It was because Li Yelai’s killing intent was too pure, without any mix of emotions.

Even though she had always been loved by all beings—Forbidden Zone creatures, extraordinary creatures, human talents. At first sight of her, they would feel affection for her.

Though occasionally there would be some too extreme, but ultimately, they would not bear to harm her.

But the man before her was different; even if he saw her naked, he remained unmoved. He completely ignored her curse.

This made her even more determined to kill this man.

The man in front of her seemed like her natural enemy!

He must be killed!

With a ’crack’, as that sound rang out, Mei Wu’s heart stirred.

There was a significant difference in quality between the Azure Dragon Halberd and the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear.

Under the relentless pounding, the Azure Dragon Halberd was gradually failing, nearing its limit! If she could just break his weapon, wouldn’t he be an easy capture?

But soon, her smile faded, and instead, she withdrew.

Her wrists were numb, and in the fierce battle, the C-grade rated Azure Dragon Halberd had become damaged, so how could their arms remain unscathed?

Both of their wrists were already a blur of blood and flesh.
