Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 966: Chapter 460

Li Ye watched as the body of the Golden Knight faded away, quickly analyzing in his mind.

He didn’t fully trust this self-proclaimed Gravekeeper and Daoist Guardian, harboring some reservations towards him.

Therefore, during the conversation just now, Li Ye never directly responded about his own identity.

The reason being, the Ye Boshou and Yang Chen’s teammates on the second floor used the residual sound avatar to transmit intelligence using internal team codes.

Even outsiders aware of both parties using the residual sound avatar to transmit information could never know the exact contents.

In another light, this guy might be trying to deceive him.

If he nodded his head and left this space, he might have to face the eight hundred axe men arranged by the Jile Sect.

Even though Li Yelai himself wasn’t lacking in combat strength, if the Jile Sect was fully prepared, even Li Yelai would find it hard to escape. He might be forced to use the Lucky Wheel.

The plan to counter the Heartless Fruit might run into flaws. This is absolutely not allowed!

Li Yelai must eliminate the Heartless Fruit completely to free his comrades from it!

‘Let’s probe for now. With the current situation, even if it’s a trap laid by Jile, I can use the excuse of wanting to test the other’s truthfulness.’ Li Yelai thought, then stepped back a little.

Gradually recovering his spiritual energy and strength. He planned to obtain more information before deciding whether to trust the so-called ‘Daoist Guardian’.

A few minutes later, the residual sound avatar appeared again,

this time, what appeared was still a knight in heavy armor, wielding a giant sword as tall as a door,

and on the armor, black thorns entwined, with bells hanging on them.

Like before, he launched an attack the moment he appeared!

In an instant, his form became ethereal and disappeared from Li Yelai’s perception.

A Netherworld Path assassin?

Li Yelai’s heart moved.

Not all Assassin Masters are Spiritual Ability Users from the Netherworld Path.

Both the Wanxiang Path and True Martial Path have similar stealth abilities.

But in terms of specialization,

the Assassin Masters of the Netherworld Path are the most dangerous.

In the Netherworld Path, there are too many bizarre attack methods.

They can create avatars, summon, and even corpses and shadows can become their means of attack.

They can even perform multiple attacks within an enemy after the weapon pierces them.

Thus, the assassins of the Netherworld Path are extremely dangerous.

Just like the Little Mad King, even though Li Yelai has now advanced to the Sixth Sense.

If targeted by an assassin of her level, he would still find it overwhelmingly taxing.

‘Seems like they realized my mobility and intend to counter it with an Assassin Master, since no matter how fast you are, if you can’t find the target, it’s useless.’ Li Yelai thought to himself, this is actually a common countermeasure against many strong opponents, and it’s where the Assassin Master’s danger lies. You don’t know where and from what angle they will launch their ambush.

As Li Yelai was contemplating what ability to use for a wide-area attack? Bai Qi’s mask or the Mythical Mimicry·Qilin?

Or perhaps use the Black Ink Armor and this new armor ability ‘Blade Armor Rebound’ for a defensive counterattack.

‘Here, Champion. I can only control the dialogue, not the actions of the residual sound.’ That voice sounded not far away: ‘Ignore the bell, attack here!’

The next moment, the bell’s chime sounded behind him, causing a slight restriction on Li Yelai’s spiritual energy.

But Li Yelai ignored the bell behind him, his wings expanded, and he executed a sudden thrust.

Like an arrow crossing the air, crashing towards the source of the voice.

In that instant, the sound of interwoven metal was heard, and the Thorny Knight hidden in the shadows was struck out with one spear by Li Yelai.

He seemed extremely shocked, not understanding how Li Yelai discovered him.

He stepped back sharply, employing the ability, Shadow Step!

His figure vanished instantly.

But from within his helmet, a voice continued: ‘Here!’

Thus, Li Yelai swiftly reached the spot, sweeping horizontally with his long spear, once again knocking back the Taboo Knight.

This voice directly exposed the position of the Thorny Knight, making it exceedingly easy for Li Yelai to handle.

Li Yelai raised his left hand, and a dark golden dragon claw emerged; in the next second, a crimson Dragon Thunder blasted out, hitting the Thorny Knight who was trying to hide again with precision.

The knight’s armor was melted out with a large hole, and violent thunder crashed chaotically through him, paralyzing him, making rapid movement difficult.

Li Yelai seized the opportunity to advance with his spear, piercing through his thigh with one thrust.

That thoroughly crippled his most dangerous agility.

This battle was even easier than the previous two.

No matter how strong the Taboo Knight’s stealth abilities were, constantly making noise was pointless.

“This guy’s despicable.” Li Yelai clicked his tongue, engaging once more with the Thorny Knight who couldn’t perfectly hide.

Soon he suppressed the Thorny Knight, making it difficult for him to mount a proper defense.

The voice once again echoed: “He was never your match, just saving you some trouble.”

“Now, we can indeed have a good chat.” Li Yelai responded.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded, with Li Yelai and the Thorny Knight engaged in fierce combat, the clash of spear and greatsword blasting out splendid sparks.

Every clash of weapons, every neutralization of the spiritual barriers would cause the ground to tremble.

Yet amidst their struggle, the two were having a calm conversation.

“Are you the King of Mingxia Civilization?” Li Yelai flicked his long spear upward to deflect the Two-Handed Greatsword aimed at him, inquiring: “Is this your tomb?”
