Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1013: Chapter 487

The Spiritual Ability User tracking him looked at the young man blocking his path and his mind went blank.

The original arrogance and malice were completely gone. Even the originally sinister look in his eyes turned clear.

He originally thought it was some so-called just Scavenger or meddling caravan member who had set the goods free.

He intended to show the other the utmost malice and let them know that in the wilderness, kindness is the original sin!

However, when the young man entered his view, he realized how absurdly wrong he was.

The young man was dressed in ordinary outdoor clothing, even if in the attire of a Scavenger, he didn’t seem like a veteran at all.

Moreover, this young man didn’t have even a hint of Spiritual Energy.

To this Spiritual Ability User who had been mixing in the wilderness for years, this young man shouldn’t have been worth noting at all.

However, when the eyes of the Spiritual Ability User landed on the young man.

He was momentarily dazed, seeing that strong existence wearing Battle Armor and draped in a blood-red Cloak.

The blood-red Cloak moved with the wind, like the battle song far away…

This left him bewildered and at a loss. After years in the wilderness, having been hired by several settlements in succession, he naturally recognized what that feeling was…

‘Illusion, this must be an illusion!’ He instinctively refuted everything he saw in his daze.

How could it be that powerful existence?

Why would such a small figure like himself attract a… a Champion?

That doesn’t make sense, I’m fighting a Champion?

This… damn it, it must be an illusion!

Just like the eighteen warlords gathered at Hu Lao Pass to oppose Dong Zhuo.

The one stepping out wasn’t Lu Bu.

But… a monkey wielding the Jingu Bang! What fight is there to be had?

He decisively retreated, Spiritual Energy surged. Regardless of whether the opposite was a Champion, he did not want to linger, and retreated at his fastest speed.

As a Spiritual Ability User of the Netherworld Path, his speed was extremely fast, allowing him to vanish into the night like a specter!

No matter whether the opponent was a Champion or not, his inspiration was warning him, flee! As for going back to report, he hadn’t even considered it, surviving was most important!

But the young man’s speed was even faster!

Almost immediately upon his retreat, a distinct hand had already grabbed his neck, followed by a powerful force that slammed him hard onto the ground.

That force was so strong that it displaced his internal organs. His Spiritual Barrier was distorted and penetrated by the brute force, the opponent didn’t even neutralize it with Spiritual Energy but simply crushed the Spiritual Barrier with pure force!

Damn it, I’ve really encountered a Champion…

He thought, and then lost consciousness.

A Spiritual Ability User in the Third Awakening can indeed mix well in the wilderness.

At this level of Spiritual Ability User, conventional thermal weapons find it hard to cause damage.

Aside from the Hot Melt and Plasma Cannon, it is difficult to tear through their Spiritual Barrier. In the wilderness, where does one find a Hot Melt Bomb or Plasma Cannon?

Certainly, at this level, a full load of dump truck crashes might take them out.

But he won’t stand still letting you ram him.

So, this kind of combat strength.

No matter which settlement they go to, they would be hired at a high price.

If they have even more means, they could even completely control a settlement. Becoming a local tyrant of a region.

In the chaotic wilderness, their fists were greater, their strength stronger, so they remained at the pinnacle of power.

But facing a Champion in the Sixth Sense, he wasn’t nearly enough.

To keep from exposing his presence, Li Yelai didn’t use Spiritual Energy, merely using pure physical power to knock the Spiritual Ability User unconscious.

Then, Li Yelai turned and looked behind.

The little boy dragging along his two companions had already been shielded by their comrades.

Li Yelai also picked up the unconscious Spiritual Ability User and entered the jungle to reunite with them.

In the jungle, the protected little boy was dully swallowing food. He seemed not to have woken up, but his extremely hungry body was forcing him to eat.

While the other two children still remained in unconsciousness.

“They’ve been drugged and the dose wasn’t small.” Cheese checked the two children, wearing a somewhat grim expression.

The two unconscious children were as young as seven or eight, the older just over ten. Yet injected with large doses of pharmaceuticals, with no consideration for their bodies.

Thankfully, among the team was a Spiritual Ability User of the Divine Protection Path possessing blood control abilities, who could slowly alleviate the children’s suffering.

The rest looked at the little boy, still in a daze, but the faintly emanating Spiritual Energy Fluctuation from his body was clearly perceived by those present.

This child… was already a Spiritual Ability User!

“Is it him?” Liu Yun ripped open a piece of meat, handing it to the little boy who dully received and consumed it.

Li Yelai nodded slightly… this indeed was an unexpected reward.

The group led by Li Yelai hadn’t even mingled with the settlement yet but discovered the little boy.

When seeing this boy, Li Yelai fell silent for a moment, somewhat sighing.

It’s unclear if it was fate’s favor or Li Yelai’s own searching result.

This young boy awakening his Spiritual Energy so early was precisely the Pang Hui Li Yelai and his team sought.

At this moment, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet had already become a Spiritual Ability User.

This aspect posed considerable risk, given his body and mind hadn’t fully developed, too early exposure to the Void Realm’s power.

Leading either to madness or becoming a vessel for the Void Realm Creatures.

Even upon adulthood, it isn’t safe. Hence, within the Giant City, Spiritual Ability User families or aristocracies awaken Spiritual Energy around twenty years old.
