Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 1019: Chapter 489 Part 2

With his power, and the strength of the force behind him, he can easily abandon this transaction, avoiding any disputes. If he wants to leave, who could stop him?

But this transaction is extremely important, he can’t just back out now.

“Young man, I admit you truly exceed my imagination. You’re very powerful! But… you are ultimately too arrogant.”

“You underestimate heroes in the world too much!”

“Here, you are not invincible!”

Spiritual Energy was activated, and a dark force blossomed from the ring, transforming into a domain that spread to the surroundings.

Within the domain, it seemed as if evil spirits were howling and resentful souls were lamenting.

The entire gathering place seemed to be dragged into a bizarre, terrifying illusion.

The cold wind gusted, instilling fear in people’s hearts.

This is the power granted to the Black Robed Man by a mysterious figure, this is also his reliance for roaming the wilderness!

With the expansion of the domain, a hideous creature over three meters tall appeared behind the Black Robed Man.

It bore a gigantic tiger head, which had no lower jaw, but instead featured an extremely twisted human face.

Both the tiger face and the human face had eyes in which fierce red light erupted, clad in a blood garment. Its limbs were twisted tiger claws, incredibly terrifying.

As it emerged, the temperature within the domain plummeted. Countless wailing voices echoed, reverberating throughout the gathering place.

From the tiger’s mouth drooled blood saliva, making the middle-aged man and others’ bodies extremely rigid.

Gazing at the monster’s figure, the middle-aged man tried hard to lower his head, not daring to look straight at its appearance.

He knew, this was the Returning Soul, this was the Chang Ghost! The Chang Ghost serving the tiger!

He had once witnessed the Chang Ghost devour a powerful Spiritual Ability User alive. It was almost his nightmare.

This was also why he feared the Black Robed Man greatly.

Ultimately, he still had to ask the Black Robed Man to take action… the middle-aged man knew well that this was akin to bargaining for the tiger’s skin.

But confronting a strong and dangerous enemy, this was the only recourse.

The middle-aged man only hoped that after devouring Li Yelai and Cheese, this foreign power, the Chang Ghost would be satisfied. Otherwise, he would lose more manpower.

And the Black Robed Man pointed his finger at Li Yelai.

As his action unfolded, the Chang Ghost’s tiger head and human face turned towards Li Yelai.

It seemed to see a delicious feast. Blood saliva dripped, corroding the ground.

In the next moment, a terrifying roar echoed throughout the gathering place, causing some ordinary people to faint amidst the sinister howls.

Then, the Chang Ghost burst out, charging towards Li Yelai at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Its figure was so frightening, its speed so quick, like an arrow rushing straight at Li Yelai, intending to tear Li Yelai apart and feast!

The Black Robed Man exhaled a sigh of relief.

The Chang Ghost is extremely difficult to control, and might even attack him. But when given enough blood food, it becomes an invincible monster in the wilderness!

Once the Chang Ghost abandons its charge, everything will be fine!

What puzzled him slightly was that Li Yelai didn’t dodge.

‘What, has he been scared dumb? He still lacks experience,’ the Black Robed Man thought.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, looked strangely at the charging Chang Ghost.

The Chang Ghost was incredibly fast, smashing through anything that blocked its path, whether it be cars or walls or defenders on the road, all shattered instantly.

A Sound Barrier burst from its body, signaling that it had surpassed the speed of sound.

However, as it approached Li Yelai, its face clearly revealed an ‘Oh sh**’ scared expression.

When it neared Li Yelai, it saw a giant beast coldly gazing down at it… that was… its nemesis…

But its speed was too fast, too fast to decelerate or adjust its position.

Thus it crashed directly towards Li Yelai.

And Li Yelai raised his left arm and fiercely struck.

Crack, boom!

The ear-piercing sound of bone breaking and heavy objects crashing down terrified the middle-aged man and the Black Robed Man.

Because, the Chang Ghost, charging with great momentum, was smashed onto the ground like a linen bag, dragging out a long, deep trench in the ground.

Powerful muscles and bones shattered directly, black internal organs exploded from its belly, and foul black blood splattered everywhere.

Li Yelai shook off the blood from his hand, looking at the Chang Ghost with its body twisted like a pretzel.

He couldn’t help but exclaim: “You vile spirit, how dare you charge at me?”

Li Yelai possesses two Mythical Mimics, and also has the blessing of two Mythical Creatures.

As a symbol of good fortune, the Qilin possesses the effect of ‘Evil Demon Destruction’.

It increases all damage dealt to Evil Spirits by 30%, reduces damage received from Evil Spirits by 30%, and instills fear in all Evil creatures.

It could be said that Li Ye Lai is the Evil Suppressing Star. Although the enhancement effect is not as strong as the Dragon Slayer, it is enough for Li Ye Lai to suppress the Evil Spirits.

Creatures like the Chang Ghost, these Returning Souls, naturally count as Evil Spirits.

And Li Ye Lai himself is even stronger than it, even without blessing, Li Ye Lai could smash it to death. How dare it launch a frontal attack against the Qilin?

But Li Ye Lai wasn’t concerned and stomped the tiger head of the Chang Ghost to pieces with one foot.

The cold domain instantly dissipated.

As the Chang Ghost was slapped away by Li Ye Lai with one hand, the Black Robed Man let out a painful wail.

Immediately, he turned and fled.

No longer did he possess the arrogance of a superior being; even the Chang Ghost couldn’t withstand Li Ye Lai, there was absolutely no one here able to block him.

Previously, he had arrogantly preached, claiming Li Ye Lai underestimated the Heroes of the world, asserting that Li Ye Lai was not invincible here.

It turns out… Li Ye Lai indeed showed him an invincible side!

This directly shattered all of his will to resist, let alone negotiate anymore.

‘Master, Master!’ As a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User, the Black Robed Man was lightning fast, instantly dashing out of the settlement towards the distant forests.

The middle-aged man, finally coming to his senses from shock, screamed in horror: “Run away!”

That strong and dangerous Chang Ghost had been defeated in one move by Li Ye Lai, such a powerful person was definitely beyond their ability to resist.

The middle-aged man only hoped that with so many Spiritual Ability Users scattering to escape, they could delay Li Ye Lai.

Under normal circumstances, he might dare to take those ‘goods’ as hostages, but now, he didn’t dare; he couldn’t afford any delay.

It’s not about whether hostages know or not; if he delays even a little, death is certain!

Escape, they must escape, abandon this settlement. As long as he stays alive, he could control another settlement someday!

Actually, he didn’t even need to remind them; upon seeing the Chang Ghost instantly defeated, the members of the business association and the settlement’s Spiritual Ability Users immediately used Aerial Stepping to scatter and flee at full speed.

Then… they saw, waiting around the settlement were silhouettes…

As their immense Spiritual Energy unfolded, a most despairing scene emerged.

They… at the lowest were all Fifth Sense, and there was even a Sixth-sense Expert among them.

And they were from… Giant City’s…

Elite Night Patrol!

The middle-aged man let out a howl of despair.

What heavenly law had he violated, why were the Elite Night Patrol dispatched?

To deal with a gang of petty thieves, the Guard Hall would have sufficed, why deploy an entire nation-destroying fleet?

Amidst wails and regret, they were instantly suppressed by the Night Patrols.

Meanwhile, the Black Robed Man was caught up by Li Ye Lai and then nailed to the ground by a black long sword.

The Black Robed Man struggled in pain: “Spare my life, otherwise my master’s hand will reach out! Spare me, we can still… ”

“I’m afraid he’s in hiding.” Li Ye Lai sneered coldly, breaking his neck with a kick: “I’ll pay him a visit myself!”

With his contact with the Black Robed Man and Chang Ghost, the Memory Fragments quickly depleted, granting him more intelligence.

Finally, he learned of the Black Robed Man’s base location. The Black Robed Man was no longer useful.

These were all memories ‘Zhu Ye’ had experienced, considered as advance strategy for Li Ye Lai.

And with the deaths of the Black Robed Man and Chang Ghost.

In a valley located more than ten kilometers away.

Several eyes opened.

“Jindi is dead, the Chang Ghost is also dead…”

“This is outrageous, who did this?”

“They have already come…”
