Capítulo 763: Chapter 358: I am coming to kill you!_2

“Fucking hell!” Zhu Tu cursed loudly, “Emperor’s Fall, you goddamn disaster star, trouble follows wherever you go! The day you return to the Blood-colored Throne, I’m afraid you’ll summon over the arrows of that one!”

…

On the other side, Li Yelai was oblivious to all this.

He was riding Ya Yu up the Snake Bone Long Stairs at high speed. The giant serpent’s size was terrifying; its corpse had been transformed into stairs connecting heaven and earth, each segment of its skeletal remains emanating an inexplicable oppressiveness.

Despite being dead for who knows how many years, with bones that had become mountain ranges, an overwhelming sense of oppression still suffocated anyone who neared.

It was hard to imagine just how fearsome this creature must have been when alive.

If not for seeing its massive snake head, absent of dragon claws and wings,

Li Yelai would have mistaken it for the legendary Candle Dragon or Mythic Winged Dragon.

The size was simply enormous, and such a massive creature ending up as the stairs to a palace is a testament to the former glory of the Heavenly Palace Civilization.

However, Li Yelai didn’t concern himself with these details; instead, he fought against the pressing feel of the oppression as he moved swiftly.

The Snake Bone Stairs were emitting waves of pressure, like a tangible force attacking those attempting to climb them.

And with every distance covered, the pressing feel of the oppression grew stronger.

Only by activating a Spiritual Barrier to withstand the pressure, could one move forward.

This was perhaps the challenge of the palace, only those who had succeeded in conquering a palace and climbing the Snake Bone Long Stairs were deemed worthy to receive its heritage.

The heritage was fine, but it was also ridiculously blind.

Letting Ye Han obtain your heritage, don’t you shiver at the thought?

Now, this challenge became an obstacle for Li Yelai too.

His physique was powerful enough to challenge a Sixth Sense True Martial.

But as for Spiritual Power Strength… it was quite ordinary. Currently, at Fifth Sense fourth-tier, even after drinking Monkey Wine, his Spiritual Power Strength had only reached approximately the seventh-tier of the Fifth Sense level, which made his climb somewhat strenuous.

However, as he climbed the Ascending Immortal Long Stairs, Li Yelai’s own Spiritual Energy was being tempered over and over again. He could feel his Spiritual Energy slowly ascending.

It seemed that merely the stairs had certain benefits.

Yet, after advancing a thousand meters in height, Li Yelai saw a figure in the distance.

The figure, holding a treasure sword and sitting on the rib bones of the Snake Bone Long Stairs, seemed to be resting.

That was…

“Snow Mountain Blind Hero, it’s just you?” Li Yelai, riding Ya Yu, approached but didn’t spot Ye Han.

“Huh, look how badly you were injured for his sake, and yet he left you behind anyway?”

The Blind Hero opened his dull eyes; with Ye Han gone, his curse had once again robbed him of his sight. But he was still not to be underestimated – his unsheathed treasure sword was emitting an air of chill.

“Is it you, Lord Ye?” the Blind Hero ‘looked’ in Li Yelai’s direction and said, “Let’s stop here. No matter how strong a fighter you are, your Spiritual Power Strength is only at the Fifth Sense level. You won’t be able to climb any higher. If you act recklessly, you may endanger your life.”

That wasn’t a lie; the obstacles above were strong, and even those just entering the Sixth Sense as Spiritual Ability Users may not be able to climb up.

Snow Mountain Blind Hero was gravely injured due to a joint attack from Ma Hongyi and the Little Mad King and realized that attempting to climb further could be risky. So, he stopped here to recuperate, not expecting Li Yelai to actually catch up.

“Too much nonsense.” Li Yelai said coldly, “Are you going to block me?”

“I had an agreement with him to help him three times, and this is the last one,” Snow Mountain Blind Hero stood up and said flatly, “so, a final warning, please step back. We’re both from Wanxiang, and I’m at Sixth Sense; don’t lose your life over this!”

He had no other choice; out of selfishness, he ignored Ye Han’s actions and was directly called out by Ma Hongyi. He had no other path left apart from continuing to rely on Ye Han for benefits, forced to keep walking this dark path.

In fact, this was a matter of choice; had he not coveted those benefits and turned around to kill Ye Han, pushing the blame onto him, he would’ve also garnered goodwill from several Giant Cities and his Family.

Alas, he chose that incredible luck.

“Heh…”

In that instant, Li Yelai brushed his hand over his face, activating Face, Sealing Langju Xuhu Qubing!

Shadow Army, Swift as the Wind, Move like a thunderbolt!

In the Blind Hero’s astonished expression, over nine hundred Heavy Knights of the Shadow Army appeared behind Li Yelai.

The next second, Ya Yu beneath Li Yelai roared and charged towards the Blind Hero at a speed beyond limits, followed by a charge from nine hundred Heavy Cavalry!

And though the Blind Hero’s sight had vanished, he sensed the approach of nearly a thousand threads of Spiritual Energy racing towards him.

“Shadow Army, eh? You really are special!” the Snow Mountain Blind Hero roared, drawing his treasure sword.

Simultaneously, his arms transformed into Dragon Claws. Mimicry·Frost Dragon Claw!

The Dragon Claw gripped the treasure sword, with sword light flickering, a chill-inducing sword beam flashed along the Long Stairs!

With one swing, he cut through dozens of Heavy Cavalry, but Li Yelai met the sword beam with his long spear held firm in hand.

Feeling the impact on his weapon, the Blind Hero shook his head slightly, foolish; the damage from the sword beam was ordinary, but the true terror lay in the extreme cold it contained.

Just a touch, and your body would be eroded by the cold. Even if it couldn’t freeze you solid, the chill would slow your movements, making it difficult to dodge more slashes.

But the next second, the Blind Hero’s face showed shock, as the Li Yelai hit by the sword beam didn’t slow down at all, wielding his long spear with a Dragon Shadow roaring.

His resistance to the frost was indeed very high!

Single-handed Eighteen Pokes·Rhinoceros Charge!

The width of the Snake Bone Stairs was actually not small, about fifty or sixty meters.
