Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 155: Chapter 71: The Wagon Overturned

Watching the strange train suddenly break through the tunnel and charge towards them, everyone, including Li Yelai, was stunned.

Their original plan was to wait here for the enemies attracted by Li Yelai’s curse, ”You Must Meet Strong Enemies.”

Nearly a hundred Processors, as well as fully armed special combat personnel and Border Iron Guards. What enemy couldn’t they take down?

But who would have expected a train?

Is this what they call... a trainload of people? Or a train’s worth of people?

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone immediately attacked the train!

The Iron Guards and special combat troops quickly set up firing points, while the Processors rushed to meet the train, like a vast net already spread out, waiting for its prey.

The Netherworld Train’s Spiritual Barrier recovered quickly. That’s why the team leaders couldn’t effectively block the train.

But with the attack of so many Spiritual Ability Users, the recovery speed of the Spiritual Barrier was nowhere near its depletion rate.

On the train, the members of the Ember Church who were suddenly besieged were also extremely astonished.

Having already suffered heavy losses from the surprise infiltration, the force they had just rallied to defend was scattered once more.

They had to completely abandon the underground ceremony, forsake all the facilities and resources of this sub-branch, and activate the Netherworld Train to escape.

They were very troubled by this.

The urgency of the situation meant they couldn’t take enough resources with them.

The loss was too great, rendering the decade-long work on this sub-branch utterly wasted.

Yet even so, almost a hundred Processors awaited them on their escape route!

What the hell?

What route did the Netherworld Train take?

Did it deliberately rush into the enemy’s encirclement?

Even the Divine Chosen, a person of exceptionally noble status, was momentarily shocked.

Feeling the intense pressure of the Spiritual Energy emanating from the numerous Spiritual Ability Users ahead, and the Spiritual Barrier of the train gradually being torn apart.

His furrowed brow, however, gradually smoothed, ”Don’t panic, keep accelerating, and prepare for the jump. If necessary, I will take action. As long as we hold the train, they can’t stop us!”

This wasn’t blind confidence; the Netherworld Train was loaded with a plethora of firepower and had a considerable number of believers, along with a quickly recovering Spiritual Barrier. The Netherworld Train was a moving fortress!

As long as they didn’t lose control, they could always escape Giant City.

”Yes!”

The loyal believers of the Ember Church shouted excitedly, immediately launching a counterattack.

This was the person closest to that great entity within the sub-branch, bestowed with the mighty blessing from that exalted being. This person may even attract the gaze of that being!

As long as the Divine Chosen One acted, everything would be alright!

And they, the ordinary believers, would be Witnesses to this miracle!

Thus, they aggressively and fervently counterattacked the Processors.

They exhibited various abilities in combat with the Processors approaching the train.

Like the Sheep-Headed Man, he had the ability to control corpses, manipulating them with precision to fight enemies or roughly directing them to react. Now, he had carved an Evil Ceremony within the collected corpses and commanded several to leap from the train and explode beside the Processors.

But the Processors had been through more than he had eaten.

Those corpses were detonated from afar before they could even get close. Some Divine Path Handlers even began to wrestle control of the corpses.

Some fanatic believers, to buy time, jumped off the train and fought furiously with the Processors.

But they were brutally hacked to death by even fiercer Processors!

True Martial? There’s a bunch of them here!

In an instant, the entire Battlefield was filled with explosions and shouts of battle.

The train struggled forward, leaving behind numerous corpses. Many bodies were entangled in the wheels.

Blood and flesh stained the train, turning the originally simple design sinister.

This made the believers on the train even more nervous. They all looked to the Divine Chosen One.

But the Divine Chosen One appeared calm, seated comfortably in the car, leisurely savoring fine wine.

He didn’t seem worried...

After all, despite the multitude of blockaders, with the characteristics of the Netherworld Train, even if a few Processors boarded, everything would be fine with the Divine Chosen One there.

Outside the train, the Processors were amassing their advantageous forces.

While suppressing the frenzied believers, they concentrated their attacks on the train, gradually tearing apart the Spiritual Barrier.

As a pale blue barrier flashed and disappeared over the train cars, the battling Processors were instantly encouraged.

”Now’s the time! The first car!”

”Mountain-Breaking Cone!”

A Processor from the Path of Zero roared furiously, compressing a giant chunk of concrete into a stone cone as thick as a washbasin. At the same time, he accelerated its spinning compression madly.

It burst forth in an instant, breaking the sound barrier with multiple sonic booms. It struck the first car with great force!

Instantly, the unprotected windows of the train were pierced, the stone cone shattered, causing dirt and ash to spray everywhere, which also widened the crack.

Several figures swiftly entered through the windows and invaded the carriage!

After their entry, the pierced windows were resealed, and the external Spiritual Barrier rapidly filled in the gaps.

Inside the carriage, as the dirt and ash sprayed and dust swirled, all the believers prepared to face their enemy.

”Enemies have boarded the train!” a believer shouted hysterically: ”Prepare for their jump!”

”Sit down, what’s the panic about?” The Divine Chosen One said indifferently: ”Just two intruders and you’re scared like this. Stop dishonoring the Church.”
