Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 486: Chapter 229 Charge with Me!_2

”That Divine Chosen’s strength is said to be only at the Fourth Awakening, but he seems to be favored greatly by the Blood God. They’ve conferred upon him the name Emperor’s Fall; beyond that, we haven’t been able to find out more. With a Divine Chosen present, we can’t just sneak in to investigate.”

”Emperor’s Fall... That old fellow, Blood God, really has high expectations for him!” Ye Boshou said, ”Just at the Fourth Awakening and already crowned as a Divine Chosen, it seems he has strong talent. I wonder how he compares to our Night General?”

”Emperor’s Fall, a mere trifle? Dares to challenge the Night General?” Ye Boshou from Champion Team One sneered, ”In an equal battle, the Night General could slap him so hard he’d shit himself— if he doesn’t, that means Emperor’s Fall really cleaned himself out!”

”Damn, is that Night General of yours really that strong?” a Ye Boshou from Border City Two spoke up, ”Our ’Hongyi’ wouldn’t dare boast that much.”

”Heh, you don’t know the value of Night·Monster Brushing Cage·General! Though Ma Hongyi is strong, he still lacks a bit,” Ye Boshou from the Beiwei Group smiled.

”I admit your team is very strong, and it’s true you’re the main force this time, but you really boast a lot! After this mission is over, I’m definitely bringing our Hongyi to challenge you!”

”Pfft, pfft, pfft! Don’t jinx me! When I get back, I still have to go on a blind date!”

The Fifth Sense Ye Boshous were discussing animatedly, seeming quite relaxed.

Meanwhile nearby, the Fourth Awakening Ye Boshous took the time to rest, eat, meditate, or chat casually.

Several Ye Boshous from the second city frequently glanced toward the corner.

There, a short-haired girl quietly savored freshly brewed coffee.

Her slender, pale fingers held the cup, the rising steam softening her features even further.

Calm, efficient, serious yet possessing a face as beautiful as a painting.

This left a very favorable impression on many of the Ye Boshous.

Encouraged by several comrades, a young Ye Boshou approached her to strike up a conversation, ”Lady Cheese, may I inquire if you are...”

As the short-haired girl looked up at him, ”Hmm?”

Seeing her face, the embarrassed Ye Boshou awkwardly changed his question, ”Are you... do you know the Night General well?”

The girl’s eyes half-curved, and her cherry-lipped mouth couldn’t help but uplift into a beautiful smile.

”Of course, we are neighbors, very familiar indeed... He is a true hero!”

Meanwhile, Cheese murmured internally, ’But he’s quite the blockhead too... Haven’t seen him in a long time, not sure how he’s doing these days.’

...

The next morning.

The Blood God Sect’s forces were fully assembled—over three hundred elite believers of the Third Awakening or higher, and even more fully armed followers, totaling over two thousand people.

Without any pre-battle speeches or tactical planning.

Led by Red Fury, all troops departed straight away.

Hundreds of armored and transport vehicles started simultaneously, their presence immense. Without any attempt at stealth, they moved directly towards their target location!

Li Yelai and two other Divine Chosen were sitting inside the foremost armored vehicle.

Inside the vehicle, Red Fury looked over Li Yelai’s equipment, ”You truly have the taste of Champion Team One, similar to the Eighth Generation.”

”Only missing a cape, once I ascend to the Seventh Awakening and slay Yang Chen. I’ll get you that cape,” Xue Yin also laughed.

People can say anything when boasting!

But all Li Yelai could do was nod slightly, ”Thank you.”

”When we reach our destination, we each will lead a troop and attack the enemy’s base from three directions. No need to complete an encirclement, we assume they have more bases in the mountains, let them lead us there. Hopefully, the enemy has Divine Chosen too.”

”Emperor’s Fall, this is your first battle as a Divine Chosen, make it spectacular. Even though you are a Divine Chosen, you are only at the Fourth Awakening, many believers are unconvinced, all planning to challenge you,” said Red Fury, ”So, this battle must be impressive. It will save you a lot of trouble.”

Li Yelai agreed smoothly, as for why all those who followed him ended up dead, it was just bad luck. Who could be blamed?

Three hours later, the massive convoy passed through a forest, revealing a base at the foot of the mountains—or rather, a fortress!

It was an abandoned chemical industrial park, with numerous factory buildings.

Now transformed into a fortress with copper walls and iron barriers, the five-meter-high steel walls were guarded by fully armed sentries.

The moment the convoy entered the observational range of their outposts, alarm bells rang throughout the base.

When the team split into three and surrounded the Embers from three directions,

the believers inside the stronghold were already fully armed, pulling out various guns and cannons; Li Yelai even spotted a hot melt cannon. Among them, Spiritual Ability Users began to perform various Evil Ceremonies. They even dragged out several Chaos Eggs bound by chains.

Without any hesitation, the Blood God Sect members, already permeated with the desire to kill, charged straight at the stronghold!

At that instant, the sound of guns and cannons roared crazily.

Inside the stronghold, countless lines of fire burst forth, and shells were ejected one after another.

”Block these madmen!” shouted a Spiritual Ability User from the Eternal Life Sect, ”Let them become the breeding ground for the plague!”

One by one, vicious virus bombs were launched.

And the believers of the Blood God Sect, shouting ”Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, skulls for the throne,” charged fearlessly.

The Spiritual Ability Users erected a Spiritual Barrier, bravely withstanding various gunfire as they approached the fortress.

The armored vehicles driven by the believers had their throttles pressed to the limit; engines roared, gunfire blazed, sprinting at full power.

Even if blasted by artillery fire, the believers would climb out of the burning armored vehicles, pick up firearms to retaliate, and continue to charge!

During this charge, numerous believers perished. But some, through this, received some kind of blessing.

Their skin turned blood-red, sharp tusks even growing from their mouths. Their bodies became stronger; originally ordinary people, they could now withstand some bullets.

The Eternal Life Sect was also no trivial force, with a considerable number of Spiritual Ability Users. Various vicious abilities were unleashed, and many Blood God Sect believers were instantly turned into blood mud.

But ultimately, the Blood God Sect breached the walls, with a large number of believers and Spiritual Ability Users rushing in.

They engaged in their favored close-range bloody combat!

The close-combat capabilities of the Blood God Sect were stronger. Whether they were Spiritual Ability Users or ordinary believers, they all had the blessing of the Blood God and could burst forth with stronger power.

And the believers from the Eternal Life Sect possessed astonishing life force.

Li Yelai saw one who had half his head blown off still fighting with an enemy.

One strong in close combat, the other tenacious in life.

Monsters battling monsters.

”This is... the Chaos Civil War. Interesting indeed!” Li Yelai didn’t hesitate and led his Blood God Sect team to charge at the stronghold.

Li Yelai led the charge, skillfully dodging virus bombs and various gunfire, while the elites of the Church followed closely behind.

Then, they saw Li Yelai with the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd slung on his back, picking up the longbow behind him, drawing the bow and shooting while moving—five Light Arrows instantly shot toward the fortress, extinguishing five points of fire instantly.

Archer skills like a god!

But these elites sneered; the Blood God Church despised long-range attacks. Even though believers could use long-range attacks, they only served to better facilitate charging and the following melee combat. So, even those on the Divine Protection Path or the Path of Zero must pick up a sword and charge.

So, in their eyes, even if the archery skills of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One were good, it was just that.

Li Yelai continued to close in while shooting, quickly dismantling the firepower in the area.

However, on the fourth release of the Light Arrows, only three of the five Light Arrows hit their targets.

Two Eternal Life Sect Spiritual Ability Users skillfully dodged the shots.

But Li Yelai just smiled, ”Great!”

It was worth attacking five units in one breath; finally, he had met a master.

So...

”Let the Heavenly Tribulation come!”

Under the fearful gazes of the Blood God Sect and Eternal Life Sect believers, Thunder Clouds emerged, and Thunder roared!

Amidst this terrifying thunder, Li Yelai picked up the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, his left hand morphing into a Dragon Claw, converting thunder into a spear!

Laughing, ”Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, skulls for the throne!”

”Charge with me!”
