Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 226: Chapter 106 I want your life!_2

Though she only possessed the so-called Fifth Sense, she was hailed as the strongest Spiritual Ability User in the East City Branch because her mastery of her abilities had reached unimaginable heights.

Who could have thought that mere Air Control could unleash such a terrifying power that does not exist in the natural world?

Plasma Thunder was nothing less than an oversized Plasma Cannon!

”Doll, be extremely careful,” Li Yelai shouted as he charged into the bunker, thunder accompanying him, his three-pointed two-edged spear swinging wildly, shattering the Insect Swarm before him!

The battlefield outside belonged to Doll, so he would go and support the survivors and civilians inside the bunker!

”You be careful too. Once I’ve eradicated them, I’ll come find you...” The howling wind carried Doll’s voice to Li Yelai, like a whisper from a young girl in his ear.

...

Elsewhere, beneath the ruins, a bloody street battle had already begun.

The survivors were resisting the Insect Swarm with all their might, while the surviving Iron Guards and Spiritual Ability Users in the bunker became the last barrier, engaging in a frenzied fight with the swarm.

The casualty rate between the Insect Race and humans once reached an astonishing sixty to one.

However, the human survivors’ defense line was still being slowly devoured by the relentless assault of the Insect Swarm.

”Quickly, open the backup passage to cover the evacuation of the civilians!”

”Just a little longer, about three minutes left!”

”Hurry! We don’t have much ammo left!”

A Major from the City Defense Army was shouting anxiously.

A large portion of the bunker’s defense force had already been sacrificed or scattered.

Even the Captain Level Spiritual Ability Users stationed in the bunker had fallen outside.

They had to open the hidden backup passage to evacuate the survivors.

However, the loss of high-end combat power meant vulnerabilities in their defense line.

As such, when a Hunting Insect tore through the wall, leading a vast swarm inside the defenses,

Everyone was filled with dread; the Major was furious and anxious—the emergency gate was open, but now there was no time for an evacuation!

”Can you still fight?” the Major looked at a wounded comrade beside him, a Spiritual Ability User with multiple bone fractures all over his body.

Despite his severe injuries, the Spiritual Ability User managed to smile hideously: ”I can, but I need you to create an opportunity... I have just one shot!”

”Alright, we’ll hold them off!” the Major discarded his now-empty Hot Melt Gun.

He picked up a Chain-Saw Sword, and the soldiers behind him fixed bayonets onto their long spears.

Some of the civilians at the back also took up arms, standing in front of their loved ones.

Then, amidst the Major’s wild roar, the humans launched a desperate charge at the Hunting Insects!

It was a charge toward death.

For, bayonets and entrenching tools could only leave a faint white scratch on the Hunting Insects’ jet-black shells, with only the Chain-Saw Sword able to barely inflict a wound.

Humans were simply torn apart by sharp claws and pierced through by pointed stingers.

But the human charge did not falter; they had nowhere to retreat; their loved ones and compatriots were right behind them! They would use their flesh and blood to create one final chance for that severely wounded Spiritual Ability User!

But they were not fighting alone!

Suddenly, a Cavalry appeared from the rear of the Insect Swarm.

The Iron-clad Cavalry seemed out of place on this battlefield, but he brought a gleam of hope to the anxious eyes of the Major.

The Cavalry, in bloodstained black-colored Lamellar Armor, rode a majestic yet scarred warhorse, blood flowing unceasingly from the three-pointed two-edged spear in his hand.

Clearly, he was a mighty soldier who had fought his way out from amidst the swarm!

”Night General! You’re still alive!” The severely wounded Spiritual Ability User laughed, ”Leave this creature to you!”

”Then leave it to me!”

It was Li Yelai who had arrived!

Li Yelai’s warhorse neighed as it charged toward the Hunting Insect, crushing numerous insects beneath its hooves!

In such a narrow space, the Hunting Insect had no room to dodge or maneuver.

The long spear thrust straight towards the Hunting Insect’s chest. As its four arms swung to block the spear, Li Yelai grabbed its head.

No matter how the Hunting Insect struggled or tore, it could not inflict the slightest injury on Li Yelai.

He had already activated Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale! Coupled with the Spiritual Armor he wore, he completely ignored the Hunting Insect’s attacks.

Li Yelai grabbed the Hunting Insect’s head and smashed it heavily against the wall; then tensed his muscles and pinned it firmly against the wall.

Following that, his warhorse surged forward, grinding away half of the Hunting Insect’s head amidst its frantic screams.

The stench of blood stained the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt and Li Yelai, making him appear immensely fearsome.

The soldiers, however, were filled with unexpected joy.

”Quite the acquired taste, but I like it!”

Li Yelai rode up to the Major, ”Are there any other teams?”

”All the other teams broke through from other exits; their current situation is unknown,” the Major responded quickly. Nobody knew whether the other breakout teams were safe, whether they had encountered reinforcements, or the Insect Swarm.

”I understand, you go first, I’ll cover the rear.” Li Yelai positioned his horse across the back of the group, protecting the survivors as they retreated.

Many colleagues and comrades had their bodies buried beneath these ruins; now, it was impossible for Li Yelai to take them away.

But at least... he could protect those survivors who were still alive.

Li Yelai alone blocked the secondary passage with his horse.

As the Insect Swarm surged forward, Li Yelai sneered, ”This way is closed!”

Li Yelai wielded his long spear, activating the capabilities of his Spiritual Ability Equipment.

A strong current gathered with each swing of his spear, creating a vortex with every movement.

The lower-level Insect Swarm couldn’t even get within five meters of Li Yelai before being swept up by the vortex and then shredded by his spear!

Li Yelai felt the power of his new weapon, then unleashed a strike!

A Wind Blade shot out, slicing several Flying Beetles in half.

Its power wasn’t strong, it was even less than the force Li Yelai generated with his own weapon, losing effectiveness after ten meters.

But it had the advantages of surprise and a wide attack range.

Li Yelai contemplated this in his heart and continued to block the Insect Swarm’s advance.

Not a single member of the Insect Race could break through Li Yelai’s defense.

Only after all the civillians in the rear had been evacuated did Li Yelai charge out of the passage.

By this time, the war outside was intensifying, as the Human Army, Spiritual Ability Users, and more of the Insect Swarm hurried to the battlefield.

An even more fearsome and chaotic war broke out.

In the sky, furious Thunder flashed, accompanied by taunting laughter.

”You dare to fight me? What, was your mother mass-produced on your household registration?”

Someone was battling multiple Advanced Insect Race individuals while controlling Thunder, their words laced with venom.

As soon as he stepped out, Li Yelai heard his statements.

Perhaps because they were synchronized in the Void Realm, the Insect Swarm was crazily chasing that person, as if provoked.

It seemed to be the Moon Shadow Captain; only he could provoke the Insect Swarm in such a manner, drawing a great deal of their attention away from the survivors.

Li Yelai continued to protect the progression of the team but suddenly felt a sense of danger.

His heart sank and he immediately steered the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt toward the front of the group, where he saw a scene that made his blood curdle.

A massive shadow emerged from the ruins.

It was a gigantic War Worm, over ten meters in size, with huge arms swinging rapidly, smashing dozens of people into pulp.

The victims hadn’t even realized who had killed them.

Even in their final moments, their faces still bore the joy of a narrow escape.

In an instant, screams erupted.

And just as the War Worm prepared to raise its massive arms again,

”Thunder!” a roar thundered through the streets.

In the blink of an eye, in the half-air, it was as if countless Heavy Cavalry charged!

They smashed down upon its gruesome face!

The force of the impact flipped the War Worm over and slammed it heavily into a nearby building.

That was Li Yelai’s Shadow Army, executing the ”Thunder” of the Wind Forest Fire Mountain military strategy – movement swift like lightning!

As the Shadow Army’s numbers grew, the force of the charge was fearsome, actually managing to knock away the heavy War Worm.

But the price was the complete death of the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt. The severe impact meant the already battered Dragon Colt dissipated entirely.

And when the War Worm rose from the ruins, what it saw was a figure filled with a murderous intent.

He had ultimately utilized the dangerous Wanxiang Wumian, and from this moment, he had become a source of danger!

But only through this could he save these survivors.

”I want your life!”
