Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 109 Rescue
When luck drops to an extreme, even the heavens will not stand it and send down divine retribution.

Li Yelai, who has activated his facial makeup ability, is such a being that is hated by the world.

The omnipresent malice will target Li Yelai through various so-called 'coincidences'.

The probability of a human being struck by lightning is about one in a million.

But for Li Yelai, who has activated his Facebook account, this is 100%!
In other words, he will surely be struck by lightning!

This was his tactic. With his own combat power as a third-level psionicist, it was difficult for him to fight against advanced insectoid races such as the War Bugs or the Hunter Bugs.

They possess combat power comparable to those of fourth- or even fifth-sense psychics.

In a direct confrontation, Li Yelai's chances of winning are very low.

Then use misfortune to drag the enemy into danger as well!

What I have to do is survive the misfortune and outlive the other person!
As Li Yelai and the hunting insects arrived at the high platform, the violent purple lightning struck precisely at the top of the building where Li Yelai was located.

The thunder did not favor either side; both were struck by lightning simultaneously!

However, although both were struck by lightning, the larger killer beetle suffered greater damage.

Along with the terrifying thunderclap, there were also the terrified roars of the hunting insects.

It had no idea what had happened. Was it an attack by other human psionicists? Or was it simply unlucky to be struck by lightning?
When the thunder that connected heaven and earth dissipated, the hunting insects were already in a sorry state.

Compared to the War Bug, its defense is not particularly strong.

The terrifying power of the lightning tore through its psionic barrier and struck its physical body, causing it to emit a burnt smell.

When the lightning stopped, it struggled to twist its badly injured body and got up with difficulty.

The lightning strike was instantaneous, but for it, it was far too long; it had encountered the strongest attack it had ever faced.

Even though it was covered in so many healthy pieces of flesh and struggled to even stand up, it still managed to survive!
It struggled to open its four eyes, trying to determine the human's condition.

Then, it let out a painful yet cruel laugh.

Because it saw the human who had led it to the rooftop.

At this moment, he was kneeling on one knee, his hair standing on end like thorns, and his whole body was shrouded in black smoke, as if he had already died from being struck by lightning.

This human ultimately died because of his own actions!

madness!

The hunting insect crawled diligently down from the human, intending to crush the corpse just in case before savoring the psychic's body. Hopefully, the recent lightning strike hadn't affected the taste of the human flesh.

However, the next moment, it heard a heartbeat that grew louder and louder, like the drums of war!
Boom, boom, boom!
The seemingly charred figure rose from the ground, the black smoke dissipated, and cracks appeared on its body. A powerful golden light shimmered within these cracks.

Li Yelai was naturally still alive.

His defenses were incredibly formidable, even against the Shadow Army's 'Immovable Mountain' and the Abyss Dragon Scales, as well as the psionic barrier.

They endured the terrifying lightning strike, but the price was indeed high!

Under the lightning strike, the Shadow Army's shield array was directly shattered, all the Abyss Dragon Scales were damaged, and the psionic barrier was directly pierced.

As for the psionic armor given by Jing Lin, it does have psionic resistance and physical defense effects, but it is completely useless against lightning!

This caused excruciating pain to the body, which had been strengthened by the Heart of Slaughter.

His heart nearly stopped from being struck by lightning, and he almost died in the process.

At this moment, as he moved, all the dragon scales on his body shattered, and the terrifying power stored within them was about to be released!
Li Yelai lured the insect hunters to the rooftop, which attracted lightning, not just to drag his enemies down with him.

It's all to maximize the power-up effect of the Abyss Dragon Scale!
Li Yelai's third awakening ability, Mimicry: Abyss Dragon Scale.

It not only has extremely high defensive capabilities, but also the ability to absorb and store attacks.

For safety reasons, Li Yelai has never tried to push the Abyss Dragon Scale to its limit.

The Abyss Dragon Scale can only be used as a defensive measure.

Now, after battling the swarm of insects, fighting the war insects, and being struck by heavenly lightning, Abyss Dragon Scale has finally reached its limit!

The illusory scales that had been mimicked were charred black by the lightning, emitting black smoke, and many cracks appeared on the scales, indicating that the Abyss Dragon Scales were about to collapse.

But similarly, strong golden patterns converge between the scales!
It contains a portion of the power from every attack Li Ye has encountered since entering the battlefield. Even if he can only absorb 30% of the attack's power, it has already accumulated to an unimaginable level!
Li Yelai's heart pounded wildly as he forcefully roused his paralyzed body, channeling all his strength to charge towards the hunting insects!
Faced with the incredibly fast hunting insects, Li Yelai only had one chance!
Seeing that Li Yelai could still get up and was still exuding a terrifying aura, the Hunter Insect was horrified and decisively retreated.

But its paralyzed body rendered its once-proud speed useless, leaving it with no choice but to retreat and jump off the rooftop.

This floor is forty or fifty meters high. Normally, the hunting insect could reach the ground safely in an instant. But now, if it jumps down, it will probably be seriously injured.

But it had no time to hesitate; it knew very well that jumping down wouldn't necessarily kill it. But staying there would certainly mean certain death!

So it decisively jumped off the rooftop to escape.

But Li Yelai had already charged forward and jumped off the rooftop without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, the scales all over his body shattered; the Abyss Dragon Scales were removed!
Golden patterns converge on the halberd.

Then, he shot out with a burst of speed, throwing his halberd!
The halberd, like a falling golden meteor, pierced straight into the hunting insect in mid-air!
It moved so fast that the hunting insects only saw a flash of golden light. And then, nothing more.

A loud 'bang' was heard in mid-air.

The head and upper body of the hunting insect were smashed directly by the halberd, and a bizarre firework of blood and flesh bloomed in mid-air.

The halberd, its power undiminished, tore apart the killer insect's flesh and slammed it into the ground with a deafening roar.

After a loud bang, a huge spiderweb-like crack appeared on the ground.

Then, a rain of blood and chunks of flesh fell from the sky, staining the entire street red.

One strike is all it takes to kill!

The Abyss Dragon Scale, having charged to its limit, killed the Hunting Insect in a single strike!
This is Li Yelai's strongest attack: stacking the thickest armor, enduring the most vicious blows, and dealing the most severe damage!

Even a fourth-level psychic would have to avoid his sharp edge!
With just this one move, Li Yelai can secure his place among the most powerful three-awareness psychics!
But instead of feeling joy, he crashed heavily onto an SUV on the street, letting out a painful groan.

Originally in mid-air, he was paralyzed and unable to continue his aerial stepping, thus falling directly from a height of nearly ten meters.

Fortunately, he has a very strong physique and is protected by some psionic barriers.

The impact of the fall, though painful, also cleared his mind somewhat.

Li Yelai struggled to get off the carriage, pulled out the halberd from the ground, and looked around warily.

He hadn't forgotten the effect of inevitably encountering a formidable enemy.

Even if he temporarily shuts down Facebook, the curse will continue for some time. More powerful enemies will arrive.

He still has some physical strength left, but his spiritual energy is almost completely depleted, and the numbness in his body hasn't disappeared yet. If he encounters another monster, the outcome will be dire.

Normally, he could hide away and wait patiently for his psionic energy to recover.

But the curse of inevitably encountering a powerful enemy will, through various coincidences, deliver that enemy to your face.

Unless there are no enemies within a certain range, Li Yelai will not be able to avoid battle.

To paraphrase Moonshadow, 'Even if you were hiding in a cesspool, a monster looking to taste your food would find you!'

The words may sound disgusting, but the logic is sound.

He can only keep fighting until the curse wears off, or until his teammates come to his rescue, or until he dies at the hands of a powerful enemy.

The method that had just attracted the heavenly lightning was far too dangerous. Li Yelai's hair had turned into a hedgehog's quills, and purple arcs of electricity flickered across his body. He was severely paralyzed.

However, being struck by lightning put a great strain on Li Yelai's physical body. But the Well of Souls did indeed expand considerably.

Could being struck by lightning actually accelerate the development of the Well of Souls?
Or perhaps, with enough battles as a foundation, Li Yelai's control over his psionic energy has become increasingly powerful?
The latter is more likely.

As Little Mad King once said, his curse is best suited for entering the wilderness, where he can quickly and efficiently confront powerful monsters, which will allow Li Yelai's strength to increase rapidly.

Now that it has been verified, it is far too dangerous.

Just moments ago, without even a moment's mourning for the death of the War Bugs, the Hunting Bugs immediately arrived on the battlefield.

This left Li Yelai with no chance to rest at all; who could withstand such a relentless battle?

The curse of inevitably encountering a powerful enemy means that Li Ye must fight to the death.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have killed the hunting insect directly. I should have spared its life and stalled it until my curse wore off and my psionic energy recovered." Li Yelai pondered, cautiously observing his surroundings. He felt a pang of regret; he should have spared its life.

The "inevitable encounter with a powerful enemy" event should only trigger after the powerful enemy dies, right? I might try it next time I have the chance. If there is a next time...
Looking at the swarms of insects gradually emerging from the nearby ruins.

Some swarms began to devour the corpses of the hunting insects, while others surrounded Li Yelai tightly.

Although they are all low-level insect swarms, their numbers are too great.

Li Yelai exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing his physical discomfort, and rang the summoning bell.

The dual-wielding knight appeared beside him, kneeling on one knee.

This was Li Yelai's last bit of support. After a series of bloody battles, Li Yelai's molten black umbrella was destroyed, his Crimson Dragon Halberd was gone, his Mountain Lord clone was gone, and his Thunder-Treading Dragon Steed was also gone.

This dual-wielding knight was Li Yelai's last ally.

“The formidable enemy must have already arrived. Where are they hiding?” Li Yelai raised his halberd, and behind him, the dual-sword knight also drew his twin swords.

The next second, the swarm of insects rushed in. Li Yelai and the dual-wielding knight swung their weapons at the same time. Li Yelai's halberd shattered rocks wherever it went, while the knight's swift and deadly strikes were deadly.

The bloody battle has begun again.

At that moment, Li Yelai suddenly heard a burst of gunfire in the distance, and many swarms of insects were engulfed by the fire.

Li Yelai, who was engaged in a bloody battle with the insect swarm, glanced around and saw several city defense soldiers and some armed civilians rushing out from the broken streets.

They unleashed a barrage of fire at the swarm of insects with their weapons.

Are they supporting Li Yelai?

"Hold on!" a city defense soldier roared as he fired a machine gun at the swarm of insects.

The people behind him were overjoyed.

“I knew it, he must still be alive! Those shameless people actually said he was dead.”

"He's the one who just saved us!"

"He's badly injured! Quick, quick, get him!"

"Let these insects see the fierce spirit of our border town!"

These people are survivors of the previous attack by the war insects.

In their most terrified moment, they saw Li Yelai lead his heavy cavalry to directly ram the war insects, saving them.

In her heart, she had already regarded Li Yelai as her savior.

Now that they have discovered that Li Yelai is being besieged by the insect swarm, they are doing everything they can to support him.

"Don't come any closer, it's dangerous!" Li Yelai felt a surge of emotion, but dared not let them get any closer.

The effect of "inevitable encounter with a powerful foe" has not yet ended; a dangerous Zerg force is nearby!

However, a flame that suddenly ignited in the swarm of insects dispelled Li Yelai's last concerns.

The crimson flames spread through the swarm of insects at an incredible speed, devouring large numbers of them, and the stench of burning flesh and the aroma of meat filled the shattered streets.

Li Yelai had seen this kind of flame before; his Crimson Dragon Halberd was ignited by this strange flame!

Li Yelai used his aerial stepping technique to dodge the self-destruction of the rolling worm, and sure enough, he saw Jing Lin standing at the end of the street, one of his eyes darkening. He said rather arrogantly, "You don't actually think they could get this far on their own, do you? It's not just your officials who have guts; the Jing family of Yaoqing is no less guts!"

No wonder the flames spread so quickly; it was Jing Lin's Heavenly Fire Eye!

Everything in sight can be ignited by it!

With Jing Lin's intervention, Li Yelai's pressure suddenly decreased.

Not knowing why this guy had returned to the battlefield, Li Yelai quickly said, "Be careful, there are probably still advanced Zerg hiding around!"

Jing Lin nodded: "Don't worry, we're not the only ones coming to rescue you. I'm just here to guide you."

The next second, Li Yelai heard a familiar voice. That voice had whispered in his ear before, and that gentle, warm breath had given him a slightly tipsy feeling.

A slightly hoarse girl's voice rang out: "Word of Power - Thunder!"

Chains of lightning shot out rapidly through the swarm, connecting and bouncing together, instantly electrocuting more than a dozen swarms.

At this moment, Li Yelai saw several figures rushing from mid-air.

That was an official psionic squad.

And the girl leading the charge was Cheese.

Her face was pale, her eyes were slightly red, and her bangs were stuck to her cheeks with sweat, as if she hadn't rested well for the past few days.

She looked at Li Yelai, her slightly pale lips parting slightly: "You've gone too far. I received two reports that your fate was unknown."

The first incident involved Li Yelai going missing during Operation Mountain Dragon. He remained missing for the next two days, leading to the assumption that he was dead.

The second time, all the psionicists in Vault 99 saw Night General, but soon news came that Night General had lured away the dangerous Warbugs, and his fate was unknown again.

It's estimated that Xinghuo has already offered a second tribute.

This also made Cheese feel very bad. Her rekindled hope was extinguished again, causing her great pain.

Jing Lin watched this scene in silence; being temporarily blind in one eye didn't stop him from enjoying the show.

He glanced instinctively at the battlefield where the dolls were in the distance, and screamed inwardly, "Rivers of blood! Rivers of blood!"
