Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 405: Chapter 193: I’m Waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation, What Are You Waiting For?

The newcomer was naturally not Champion Yang Chen, but Li Yelai, who had reached the battlefield.

He arrived slightly later than Ma Hongyi, so he lay in wait to find the perfect moment for a sneak attack.

He possessed ranged attack blessings, allowing him to easily calculate air resistance and wind direction, as well as the trajectory of long-range weapons.

He used this ability to hurl his throwing spears so that they would land at virtually the same time.

With Li Yelai’s current skills, he could nearly achieve the feat of merging five spears into one, and with the added effect of combination strikes, there was a high probability of killing in one move.

Unfortunately, Mei Wu reacted quickly and the sneak attempt failed.

”Well then... The tactic succeeded,” said Li Yelai, looking up at the dark clouds that were slowly gathering in the sky, raising the Azure Dragon Halberd in his hand.

If Gretwin had taken a closer look, he would have noticed some differences between Li Yelai and Champion Yang Chen’s equipment.

Li Yelai was also wearing the Ming Guang Armor, but the color scheme was slightly different.

Li Yelai’s Ming Guang Armor was black-gold, while Yang Chen’s was black-gold with red accents; the edges of his Scale Armor were secured by red Dragon Tendon.

Not to mention, Li Yelai wasn’t wearing the blood-red cape that symbolized the champion.

And while Li Yelai used a long spear just like Yang Chen, Li Yelai favored the single-eared Azure Dragon Halberd, while Yang Chen used the double-eared Sky Halberd.

But Gretwin, locked in combat with Hongyi, did not have the time to notice these minor details.

All he saw was a human clad in Ming Guang Armor, carrying a throwing spear, and wielding a long spear. The first thing that came to his mind was the title of champion!

For the creatures of the Forbidden Zone, Champion Team One is undoubtedly a nightmarish existence.

Every generation of champions has achieved incredible battle records, truly undefeated among their peers.

Even during the Overlord era, they were the indisputably strongest below the Supreme, and one could hardly imagine what would happen if there were a Supreme Level champion.

In the three major restricted areas, which Overlord’s domain hasn’t been visited by the slaughter of a champion?

A Sixth Sense Noble from Black Origin City was exiled by the first-generation champion, also a Sixth Sense, over sixty years ago.

After fifty years, he returned from the Void Realm, and struggled to advance to Overlord, only to run into the sixth generation champion, who was also an Overlord. He was beaten to dust and exiled again!

As for the eighth-generation Champion Yang Chen, although he doesn’t currently have the impressive record of his predecessors, he is still remembered with caution by the creatures of the Forbidden Zone.

Suddenly seeing this kind of attire would make anyone panic, wouldn’t it?

That’s right, in his panic, Gretwin nearly got decapitated by Hongyi. The black horns on his head were chopped off by more than half as he scrambled to create distance.

And Mei Wu quickly spoke up, ”Stay calm, he’s just a Fourth Awakening, not the champion! If he were the champion, it would be better...”

This made Gretwin even more furious.

He, a being from the Forbidden Zone, spooked by a mere fourth-level human? Damn it, the despicable human race, dressing up as the champion to scare me! They deserve to die!

But before he could curse, Hongyi was already before him, wielding the Red Gold Treasure Sword, eyes ablaze in red with a crazed smile. The treasure sword descended, sending Gretwin flying.

After being caught by a thorny bush, Gretwin felt a numb sensation in his hands as his golden thorn almost broke.

His path of Divine Protection was actually being pushed back in close combat by a fragile figure from the Path of Zero!

But he saw several angels rapidly approaching the battlefield through the sky.

Clearly, they were coming to protect Mei Wu.

This relieved Gretwin somewhat, reinforcements are good!

Given a bit of time, he could unleash more powerful skills. The longer the Divine Protection Path is prepared, the stronger his battle power would be – something he had no opportunity for while battling Hongyi.

Of course, Mei Wu also noticed the several angels rushing to the scene.

She then raised the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear, a smile in her eyes as she looked down at Li Yelai and said, ”Is this your ploy? Pretending to be the champion to intimidate us? Sadly, even if Champion Yang Chen were here, he would still succumb to my charm.”

With her recent movement, the red transparent veil on her slightly lifted, revealing those fair and long legs.

Her skin was even whiter than snow, with black silk fluttering as if she were the angel of salvation from the myths, exuding a blend of both seductive and holy traits.

”Ridiculous, I don’t think your curse will have any effect on a block of wood,” Li Yelai looked up at Mei Wu, and the increasingly dense Thunder Cloud above. He approached with his spear and said indifferently, ”And to kill you, a traitor, I am more than enough.”

”Oh?” Mei Wu tilted her head and said, ”But the sneak attack failed, and you have seen me. Do you still have the heart to attack? Or do you also have a means to vaporize rationality?”

All beings that had seen her or her Virtual Realm Projection fell involuntarily in love with her, unable to harm her. They would even prevent others from injuring her. This was also why she wanted to meet the champion; capturing the champion would be a huge gain.

This was Li Yelai’s first time seeing Mei Wu, and without a doubt, she was a very beautiful woman.

To everyone else, each frown and smile seemed filled with endless temptation.

But to Li Yelai, that was all there was to it.

He always treated men and women equally and wouldn’t waver because of someone’s looks.

Enemy or not, regardless of gender, he would show no mercy!

Just because she looks pretty, does that mean I can’t kill her? What kind of twisted logic is that?

So Li Yelai’s body donned the black Dragon Scale, Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

With a quick swipe of his left hand across his cheek, he activated Xiang Yu’s Face, and the Overlord’s Double Pupils appeared!

At the same time, a Dark Gold Dragon Claw appeared beside his left arm, Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw!
