Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 632: Chapter 295: The Death of a Hero_2

“It’s madness, you are actually willing to trust a Chaos Chosen,” the Overlord shook his head, “If there’s a problem, I hope you won’t regret it!”

“I naturally will not regret it, as he assisted us in beheading the Insect Master amidst the Disaster Fog during his Third Awakening. During his Fourth Awakening, he entered the Forbidden Zone to kill the human traitor Mei Wu. At his Fifth Awakening, he went undercover in the Church and severely damaged the Church Headquarters. Now, he has even indirectly dissolved a disaster,” Sword Madman smiled, “He is so outstanding, all I need to do is cheer for him when he succeeds!”

“He actually accomplished these feats… You do trust him. You even dared to send such a seedling into the Church… but after all, it is Chaos,” the Overlord frowned thoughtfully, “And, you say the Overlord cannot strike, but those at the Captain Level can pursue him… Is he not merely at Fifth Sense?”

“As a Champion Inheritor, I naturally have to trust him,” said Sword Madman.

“Champion?” The Overlord’s expression changed slightly, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards the mountains outside the city, “You guys have quite the audacity too! Even daring to place a future Champion as an undercover agent?”

“It’s mutual, I can’t imagine Mo Chen would actually go this far,” Sword Madman also felt emotional.

In a distant valley, from the Doomsday Forest, came the Golden Lion Ape,

encountering the strongest enemy of its life.

Its species is known to be ferocious and barbaric, with immense physical power, strong enough to suppress most Ancient Dragons.

As a standout among them, it dares to challenge, even hunt, a grown Ancient Dragon.

Even in the depths of the Doomsday Forest, it wanted to challenge the Supreme.

But now, it sensed an unprecedented danger.

In the valley, a human clad in a blood-red cape stepped forward, holding the Sky Halberd.

And a Six-winged Angel turned into a Single-Winged Angel, fleeing the forest in panic, turning into a meteor to escape the battlefield.

Cowardly birdman!

The Golden Lion Ape sneered internally.

The terrible sense of danger infuriated the Golden Lion Ape. It was here to cause destruction, how could it be scared away by a human?

Watch me tear him apart!

Its muscles swelled, golden lightning intertwining in its hair, resembling a golden ancient beast.

Thus, it… charged forth! Transforming into a speeding bolt of Thunder, it collided directly with the human.

Yet that human did not dodge at all, instead raising the Sky Halberd, stepping forward to meet the Golden Lion Ape head-on!

Terrifying reverberations covered the entire mountain range, rocks shattered, forests pulverized. They engaged in a fearsome battle.

Each punch from the Golden Lion Ape exploded like thunder, each capable of shattering mountains.

It struck the human repeatedly, managing to repel him.

But without any delay, the human wielded the Sky Halberd again and pressed on, each strike of the long spear leaving wounds on the Golden Lion Ape.

After exchanging blows for more than a hundred moves, the Golden Lion Ape spat out a mouthful of blood.

It grimaced at the torn wound on the human’s shoulder, Good, it’s tough! But it’s hurt!

It seemed to see a glimmer of victory, being a race with great strength in close combat.

But the next second, a blood-tinted flame ignited on the human, healing the wounds with the flames.

“Finally broke your defense. Good!” Yang Chen said, raising the Sky Halberd again amidst the fearful gaze of the Golden Lion Ape.

“So, continue!”

Indeed, the Golden Lion Ape was at a disadvantage due to its species.

Inside the Doomsday Forest, there wasn’t a high level of civilization, but a zone dominated by Extraordinary Creatures.

Most areas still followed the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, only the deepest part of the Forbidden Zone managed by Forbidden Zone Creatures.

If it had knowledge of the outside world’s human civilization, it would never clash head-on with a current-era Overlord-level Champion.

…

Meanwhile, on another side, Li Yelai and his group, after a strenuous hour-long march, finally arrived at a Church outpost deep in the wilderness.

And subsequently, they successfully reached a sub-branch.

The sub-branch was nestled deep in the mountains, disguising its existence from the outside world with various Chaos Rituals.

Now, Li Yelai has seen it for himself.

At this time, Li Yelai finally learned of the casualties this time in the Blood God Faction, with the believers embedded within the Giant City nearly annihilated.

The veterans of the Fifth Legion were almost completely wiped out.

Apart from a few brought back by Li Yelai, the total of other surviving groups did not even reach fifty people.

And the Bloodsucking Ghost Legion, which was prepared to assist in the siege, encountered an attack by the Giant City Army outside the city.

After leaving some corpses behind, over a thousand Bloodsuckers were taken back to the sub-branch.

The rest, due to the sudden encounter, were dispersed.

And because the Bloodsuckers have little rationality, once they engaged in battle, they fell into a lust for slaughter, completely unmanageable.

Therefore, several hundred Bloodsuckers voluntarily stayed on the battlefield.

It seemed like the losses were not significant, but it still caused heartache to the Main Base.

The strength of Bloodsuckers is formidable; individually, they are equivalent to the Fourth Awakening Spiritual Ability Users specialized in close combat melee.

The close combat power is extremely strong. If they charge and fight in a structured formation, the power would be astonishing!

But the birth of a Bloodsucker is quite troublesome, involving sending those devout believers onto the battlefield and receiving a blessing there to become a Bloodsucker.

The success rate is not high, with many believers likely dying before meeting the requirements.

Thus, each war only produces a few dozen, and with good luck, up to a hundred. This time they lost six to seven hundred.

Who wouldn’t be heartbroken by this?

What further shattered the sub-branch was that this was still the smallest loss so far…

Later, they also received news that the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One of the Blood God had killed the official captain, Feixue, and was now on the run.

The Giant City issued a wanted notice for the Divine Chosen Emperor Fall, and many powerhouses who had close relationships with Feixue were furious.

Among them, the Heavenly Pride from the Ma Family, Hongyi.

He even vowed to personally execute the Emperor Fall to honor Feixue’s spirit in heaven!

Meanwhile, rumors also circulated within the official factions.

It was said that a Blood God Chosen was planning to defect and lead the Chaos believers into the Giant City…

“Damn Fen Xiao!” At the top of the Ritual Hall, Li Yelai, seated in the principal seat with a face dark as water (feigned), he coldly eyed those sub-branch high-level officials: “What else do you know?”

At these words, some of the Bloodsuckers raised their meaty great swords. Bai Ya and others also tightly gripped their weapons.

The sub-branch executive immediately knelt down and saluted Li Yelai: “Lord, indeed, we had no knowledge of Fen Xiao’s plan!”

Fen Xiao and the official captain had joined forces to attack the Emperor’s Fall Chosen, witnessed by many believers.

If it hadn’t been for the Fifth God’s believer, that Wilderness Ranger joining the melee.

Lord Di Yun might have died there.

Fen Xiao collaborated with the Giant City, leading the Chaos Faction people into the Giant City for an ambush!

Fen Xiao had betrayed the Blood God!

This news shocked the people at the sub-branch, disbelief in their minds.

How could a Divine Chosen betray a Divine? This should not, could not, be happening.

But what presented before everyone was Di Yun leading the legion from the Main Base almost getting trapped by the Giant City in a pincer attack, also attacked by Fen Xiao and the officials.

“Lord, there might be some misunderstanding!” said the high-level sub-branch executive.

“A misunderstanding, almost killing me?”

Bai Ya coldly said: “It was you who invited our lord here to Border City No. 2, and it was you who led us into a trap, causing the legion nearly to be annihilated! It was also your Divine Chosen who joined forces with the official captain to attack our lord. What misunderstanding? This is betrayal!”

“Enough, he probably didn’t know.” Li Yelai, looking down at the high-level sub-branch officials, said: “Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let us in, but would have directly notified the officials to surround and annihilate us.”

“Absolutely impossible, I am utterly loyal to the Church!” the executive hastily responded.

At that moment, someone reported: “Lord! Someone has contacted us and said they want to visit you.”

“To visit me?” Li Yelai’s gaze turned to the attendant: “Who is it?”

“It’s… it’s… the Eternal Life Faction Divine Chosen, Luo Duo.”

The Eternal Life Faction? Li Yelai understood and then nodded: “Then let him in.”
