Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 146: Chapter 66: Encirclement_3

The Heavy Knight glanced at him expressionlessly and did not respond.

The young man with the axe, however, was brazenly sizing up the Heavy Knight.

Given his status, it was not a problem to forcibly keep the other party here. Those believers with high status in the secular world would help him handle everything.

After all, the disappearance of a Scavenger was not a big deal.

But that didn’t suit his fancy.

So, he took a step closer, wanting to say something more. He wanted to showcase his strength and uniqueness, to make the other voluntarily become his forbidden delicacy.

However, at the very moment he took that step,

Li Yelai heard the instruction ”Begin operation!” in his ear.

In that instant, dozens of gunshots rang out simultaneously!

The ax-wielding young man only felt a blur in front of him and was horrified to find a bullet—thicker than a finger—suddenly appearing above his forehead.

Is this... a Barrett? Is someone sniping at him?

Fortunately, the Spiritual Barrier blocked it and did not blow the young man’s head off with a single shot.

”Enemy attack!” He retreated in panic, only to discover an even more terrifying sight.

Inside the factory windows, atop the lookout posts, on the ground in front of the factory, were now full of headless or mutilated corpses.

He was not the only one being sniped!

All of the believers exposed in the open were simultaneously targeted.

Among them, only the Spiritual Ability User believers survived the sniping. The rest were torn apart by bullets!

Someone is attacking the base? Which force could it be? Why didn’t the Dark Guards detect their assembly?

The young man was terrified and instinctively tried to run for cover.

But he saw the naive-looking girl he had taken a fancy to before, holding a hammer as big as a bowl’s mouth, quickly approaching him.

Is she also a Spiritual Ability User?

”Wait, we are kin! Kindred!” The young man shouted in horror, raising his axe to fend off the attack.

However, as the Heavy Knight swung her hammer down, his axe, arm, shoulder bone, ribs, cervical vertebrae, and leg bones all shattered instantaneously.

He was smashed into chunks with a single blow!

The ability the Heavy Knight gained through her Second Awakening, Charging Heavy Strike!

Strengthening with time charged, one hammer blow shattered the young man and his lofty dreams altogether!

Some Spiritual Ability User believers panically resisted but were covered and hit by the Plasma Cannon, depleting their Spiritual Barriers rapidly. Even if they luckily survived, they could not withstand the bullets and were directly pinpointed and killed, or swiftly executed by the Processors.

Then, a large amount of tear gas was thrown into the factory. About a dozen combat personnel wearing gas masks and Night Vision Goggles rushed into the factory, efficiently eliminating the Resisters.

Spiritual Ability Users didn’t need these; Li Yelai, holding the Red Dragon Spear, quickly charged into the factory.

He swung the Red Dragon Spear swiftly, flipping over all the enemies who had dodged the sniping but were engulfed by the tear gas.

And in the deepest room, he found a Spiritual Ability User believer sending out distress signals and alarms.

However, no matter how the believer tried to send messages, there were no changes on the screen.

Instead, a demon-like laughter emerged.

The network communications in the entire base had been hacked.

If he were outside, he would probably find that no one outside could hear the gunfire.

Even if there were Church spies nearby, they would have no idea that the base was under attack!

To combat the Ember Church, the authorities had activated several Taboo Items, including the Demon Host and the Silent Cloud Banner!

They would not give them any chance to alert the sub-branches.

The despairing believer swung his Longsword furiously, issuing a mad roar, ”Dare to attack the Church, do you not fear the Divine Punishment from our Divine Beings?”

Responding to him was the rapidly moving long spear in Li Yelai’s hand.

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Elephant Step!

He directly smashed the person along with the sword into pieces.

A Spiritual Ability User with only a First Awakening, without even any Spiritual Ability Equipment, could not withstand Li Yelai’s full-powered strike!

Until his death, his Divine Beings were unable to save him.

However, after his death...

In the endless Void Realm, he saw the Divine...

Its magnificent body, vast like a starry river, was bound by three chains to that giant throne.

It looked down upon the insignificant believer, and that cryptic and abstruse voice echoed in the void.

”Oh, Chaos... the Five Divines?”
