Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 19 Overlord Throws the Halberd
As Li Yelai severed the altar with a single stroke, the brick house collapsed with a deafening roar, burying Li Yelai within.

Wang De was filled with fear and trepidation upon witnessing this scene.

That was his biggest trump card, and the secret to his family's rise to power.

But now it has collapsed right before his eyes.

He lost the protection of the ghost immortals!

"How could this be? What happened? A ghost immortal?"

As Wang De was filled with fear, he saw the detective, who was still lying on the ground in the distance, raise his gun at him again.

Terrified, Wang De immediately shook his silver bell and ordered the twin-sword knights: "Kill them!"

Having just experienced the shadow of death, everyone present except Wang De seemed to have just escaped death. They were all in a very low state and could barely stand.

Now that the Ghost Immortal Altar is gone, he has lost his greatest support. He must take advantage of this moment to kill the resistance forces present so that Wang De may have a chance to escape.

Then, I need to find that young man with the black umbrella as soon as possible, otherwise I might not be able to survive or make a comeback.

As his bell rang, the dual-wielding knight, who had been entangled in the arm and stood frozen in place, vanished instantly and appeared directly in front of the detective. His dual swords slashed down swiftly!
The detective, who hadn't even gotten up yet, was filled with shock and anger. He had no confidence in facing a knight who possessed two abilities, equivalent to a second-awakened psychic.

So, with a practiced backflip, he tried to create distance. Unexpectedly, the dual-wielding knight lunged forward with a single-handed thrust, his other hand swinging horizontally. He had anticipated the detective's actions and launched a series of attacks.

The detective rolled quickly, but was stabbed through the shoulder.

"Aaaaah!" the detective roared, letting the blade pierce his shoulder. Instead, he grabbed the dual-wielding knight's arm, leaped up, and wrapped his legs around the knight's arm, using a joint lock: "Hurry up!"

Almost simultaneously, a hoarse voice rang out: "[Listen to me] Commit suicide immediately!"

It was Cheese. Now, she lay slumped on the stairs, her dress torn to shreds. Utterly disheveled, she struggled to look at Wang De, and once again used her power: "[Listen to me], commit suicide immediately!"

Previously, Cheese's hypnotic abilities against Wang De were all resisted by the Ghost Immortal's sanctuary.

Now that the Ghost Immortal Altar has been destroyed, Wang De can no longer resist the power of a second-awakened psychic.

Wang De also sensed something was wrong, realizing that his arm was reaching for a gun in his pocket.

The body is truly carrying out the other's commands! The protection of the ghost immortal has begun to disappear, and it is utterly powerless to resist this force!

In his shock, Wang De once again ordered the dual-wielding knight: "Kill that bitch first! Quickly!"

Once the cheese is killed, he will no longer be affected by this power and commit suicide.

Hurry, kill this woman before the protection of the ghost immortal completely disappears!
The dual-wielding knight, having received orders, attempted to teleport into the mist, but was unable to use his abilities due to the detective's close restraint.

He could only forcibly lift the detective up, and with his other hand he raised the large knife and charged at the cheese.

In less than two seconds, the knight had already rushed down the stairs, as if he were about to sever the cheese man's head in the next instant.

Affected by the curse and already in great pain, Cheese picked up a dagger and tried to buy a few more seconds.

She had already seen Wang De raise his pistol; he was about to commit suicide! Just a few more seconds of delay.
However, just as the dual-wielding knight raised his sword, just as a victorious smile appeared on Wang De's face...

A muffled thud came from the ruins of the collapsed brick house.

A blood-covered figure burst forth from the rafters of the ruins, wielding a knife and slicing through the rubble—it was Li Yelai!

Before becoming a psionicist, Li Yelai would probably have been crippled or killed if faced with a landslide.

But after becoming a psionicist, the psionic barrier helped him block the falling bricks and beams.

This allowed him to quickly escape the ruins.

Without any hesitation, Li Yelai, the instant he left the ruins, gripped his longsword in reverse and raised his right hand to strike. Clearly, he was about to launch some kind of attack!
"Wait until we get back." The look of surprise on Wang De's face hadn't even surfaced yet when he tried to send the dual-wielding knight back to defend.

However, before he could utter a single word, Wang De's voice abruptly ceased with a whooshing sound that tore through the air.

Because a scarlet longsword had pierced his neck and pinned him firmly to the wall.

Li Yelai didn't waste time getting close to Wang De. If he had, the detective and Cheese might have died.

So he chose the quickest way to kill! He threw his longsword directly!

He used a long sword as a spear and threw it to kill Wang De!

This is the Overlord Throwing His Halberd!
Without uttering any last words, Wang De, his eyes wide open after being pierced through the neck, let out a hissing sound before dying.

At the same time, the knight stopped swinging his blade and abandoned the detective. He sheathed his weapon and stood still, seemingly awaiting the next command.

Li Yelai, his face covered in blood, quickly approached Wang De. Instead of drawing his scarlet longsword, he raised his axe and stabbed Wang De again.

Only after taking the silver bell from his left hand did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you all alright?" Li Ye looked back.

"I'm fine, but the cheese doesn't seem right," the detective, who was also collapsed on the ground, shouted.

Upon hearing this, Li Yelai's expression changed. Without even taking back his long sword, he rushed towards the stairs.

The curse of cheese is that after using its power, one must consume a sufficient amount of sugar, or else the heart will weaken.

She had just been dragged into the shadows, and although she escaped thanks to the broken altar, the special saccharin she carried seemed to be lost. She is now threatened by a curse.

When Li Yelai rushed to the stairs, he saw Cheese, pale-faced, leaning weakly against the stairwell wall.

Her gorgeous dark red strapless dress was now torn to shreds by the dark arms, revealing her fair abdomen and thighs, and even more.

She weakly clutched her chest, looked at Li Yelai, and slightly opened her mouth, uttering an inappropriate remark: "While it's hot?"

"You do have some problems!"

Li Yelai hurriedly took off his suit jacket, which was already torn in several places, and covered the cheese with it.

He then hoisted her up in his arms, not caring about the warmth of her embrace, and rushed out of the basement.

Fortunately, Li Ye had seen the kitchen of this house before he came, and immediately carried the cheese into the kitchen.

His face was covered in blood, but his double pupils still carried a great sense of intimidation.

The servants and cooks in the kitchen immediately vanished.

Li Yelai ignored the curse of bad luck and quickly searched the kitchen. After being hit by several kitchen knives, he finally found the white sugar and rock sugar.

I helped Cheese up, stuffed a handful of white sugar and rock sugar into her mouth, and then poured a big gulp of milk into her mouth to help her swallow the sugar.

"Cough cough cough!" Cheese coughed, milk dripping from the corner of her mouth, down her fair neck and delicate collarbone, and falling under the suit jacket she was wearing.

But her complexion had improved a lot, and she was able to move around freely again.

She wiped the milk from her mouth and neck, giving Li Yelai a reproachful look. "You almost choked me to death, and you got it all over me." Cheese started pointing and gesturing: "You filthy scoundrel!"

Li Yelai ignored her antics and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After removing the mask and washing away the bloodstains from his face, he sat down on the ground and sighed, "I'm exhausted."

Cheese was wearing Li Yelai's suit. Li Yelai is over 1.8 meters tall, while Cheese is around 1.6 meters tall.

His clothes, however, did manage to cover the exposed skin on his upper body and thighs.

Cheese had a gentle smile in his eyes, but he complained, "I just came here to have a meal, and it almost killed me."

"This side job is more dangerous than I imagined," Li Yelai muttered to himself. "Now that Wang De is dead, I don't even know if I'll get paid."

However, not long after I sat down, I heard a loud bang, as if something had crashed down.

Li Yelai was astonished. Could it be that there were still enemies?
The next instant, someone rushed into the kitchen at a speed that even Li Yelai couldn't perceive. The speed was so fast that it created a gust of air in the kitchen.

The man's skin was crimson red, and his eyes shone with golden light.

The terrifying sense of oppression made Li Yelai feel suffocated.

But soon, the pressure decreased dramatically.

Because the man had already spoken: "Are you alright?"

Only then did Li Yelai recognize that this was his captain, Yang Chen!

Wasn't Yang Chen on an investigation mission in the old city? Even if Cheese called for backup earlier, how could he get here so quickly?
Moreover, his posture is
"The True Martial Path is an extremely rare ability that the captain awakened for the fifth time. Due to the surge in blood and qi, the skin turns crimson, like Guan Yu, so this ability is called the Martial Saint Form! Against that knight who was just entangled with you, I reckon one punch would be enough to knock his insides out." Cheese seemed to have noticed Li Ye's confusion and explained a few words.

He then said to Yang Chen, "It's been resolved, and there's no danger now. But there are still injured people in the basement."

"Yueying went to the basement before me; he's taking care of the wounded," Yang Chen replied, his expression somewhat strange.

He certainly didn't feel that terrifying anger anymore.

Just now, he thought some kind of virtual being was trying to forcibly enter the physical world.

Not only him, but the entire city's government was alarmed, with thousands of guards mobilized and a large number of officials on their way.

As it turns out, everything is perfectly fine now. The shadow cast by the illusory creature vanished quickly, and no one knows exactly what happened.

Of course, the virtual realm is extremely dangerous. Who knows what that being might have discovered and quickly fled?

"What about the forbidden items?" Yang Chen continued to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yelai replied, "The Ghost Immortal Altar? I chopped it down! The situation was urgent, and I had no choice but to do it."

“Indeed, if it weren’t for him, Captain, you would only be able to collect our corpses by now,” Cheese said, standing behind Li Yelai in Li Yelai’s suit.

Yang Chen stared at them in shock, utterly stunned: "What was that being yelling about? So you were the one who cut down the forbidden object? That's too dangerous! If it really came to the physical world, no one would be able to save you in time!"

"Can't...can't we attack forbidden objects?" Li Yelai asked, puzzled. He hadn't looked up any information about forbidden objects yet.

"Not really. If we can safely eliminate the forbidden items, that would be best. These are all hidden risks."

Yang Chen deactivated his Martial Saint form and explained to Li Yelai, "But as I said before, forbidden objects are the physical manifestations of certain forces. Some even contain certain rule-like forces. Completely destroying a forbidden object is very risky. Therefore, our department's approach is suppression. We will use it when necessary."

Li Yelai felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, but upon reflection, he realized that he had no other choice but to split open the altar.

“However, this time it might be just good luck, or…” Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, looking at Li Ye, he really couldn’t convince himself that the other party was just lucky.

One can only guess: "Or perhaps they were just unlucky and attracted multiple beings at the same time. They became wary of each other and retreated, allowing the incident to pass smoothly."

Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat; Yang Chen's guess was very close. But 'Mr. Shadow' didn't just scare away the ghost immortals; he directly devoured them.
At this moment, Cheese complained, "Multiple? Then Xiaoye's luck is too bad. She can't even withstand the arrival of a Void Realm being?"

“His bad luck is indeed troublesome. I need to ask headquarters if there's any way to suppress it,” Yang Chen replied. “Letting him be so unlucky isn't a good thing. What if he gets struck by lightning one day? I'd have no one to complain to. He's my teammate.”

Li Yelai retorted, "You'd better not just be saying that!"

He made up his mind that he would never use his powers outdoors during a thunderstorm! With the effect of the curse, he would definitely be struck by lightning!

Soon, many police cars and ambulances poured into the manor.

The medical staff quickly put the Wang family members and the detective into the ambulance.

The detective was also there.

Li Yelai also wanted to hitch a ride, but was stopped by Cheese.

"Don't let your bad luck affect others. I'll take you home later." Cheese, who had changed back into his hoodie, complained, "Have you forgotten about the three ambulances from before?"

Yes, Li Yelai fell unconscious after fighting the Skinner and was taken to the hospital, but all three ambulances broke down. In the end, Yang Chen carried Li Yelai into the hospital.

After realizing what was happening, Li Ye returned to his room to wait.

He sighed, "When will this misfortune end?"

Because of Wang De's actions, a large portion of his assets will be investigated and frozen.

I wonder if the girl in the white dress will still be able to offer payment.

If it doesn't work, then we'll really be losing money this time.

However, Li Ye looked at the silver bell in his hand.

This is my spoils of war, the psionic weapon I retrieved from that old bastard Wang De's corpse.

It's clearly a bell, but no matter how much I shake it, it doesn't make a sound.

It seems that a little spiritual energy needs to be injected.

Where does Wang De's spiritual power come from? Was it given to him by a ghost or immortal? Or by someone else?

After pondering for a moment, Li Yelai meditated and checked that he still had a small portion of his spiritual energy reserves. He then guided the spiritual energy into the bell.

Then, with a gentle shake, a clear bell rang.

The next second, a dual-wielding knight clad in silver-gray plate armor appeared beside Li Yelai.

He knelt on one knee before Li Yelai, awaiting orders.

Looking at the knight in front of him.

Li Yelai smiled and said, "It seems we didn't lose out after all."
