Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 46: A formidable foe is inevitable!

As Li Yelai drew the Crimson Dragon Halberd from the large black umbrella, his aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

To outsiders, Li Yelai, apart from being rather handsome, had no special temperament and could be considered quite ordinary in a crowd.

But now, when he drew the Crimson Dragon Halberd, many scavengers who had seen blood suddenly changed their expressions.

They were all thugs who had seen blood, and their ruthlessness alone was enough to send chills down the spines of ordinary people.

But now, they were seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood in a daze, as if a pungent smell of blood was wafting into their nostrils!

This is natural, as they were facing psionicists who were far more dangerous than themselves, and who were fierce and brave generals who had single-handedly broken through the cavalry formation, killed more than two hundred riders, and killed the enemy's leader!
When they faced Li Yelai, who was displaying malice, they naturally felt an astonishing sense of oppression!
Li Yelai was indeed angered.

Since the Black Prison incident, Li Yelai has been extremely wary of losing control over forbidden objects.

In the Black Prison Incident, far too many comrades sacrificed their lives.

They gave their lives to suppress the out-of-control taboo, precisely to prevent even greater casualties.

However, now, some people are aware of their own official positions.

They even planned to take away forbidden items, completely disregarding the potential loss of control and sacrifice.

This directly angered Li Yelai.

So he drew his weapon and exerted full pressure.

"Knowing I'm an official clerk, you still try to stop me?" Li Yelai said coldly, pointing his halberd at the male bodyguard with one hand: "Don't you know the dangers of forbidden items? Hand over the forbidden items, and we can compensate you for all your losses and even give you a considerable surplus. Don't make a mistake for yourself. Put down your weapons, and your Red Dart Merchant Guild can prosper even more."

He was certain that the male bodyguard behind Xu Shi was the real person in charge.

Xu Shi was more like a puppet he pushed to the forefront.

Seemingly sensing Li Yelai's hostility, the male bodyguard was somewhat surprised, but still managed to steady himself.

"What compensation could possibly match the benefits it brings? Besides, isn't your government using the wondrous effects of all those forbidden objects?" The male bodyguard shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. "I believe we can make good use of it too."

This is a common flaw in intelligent people: they always think they can do things that others can't, and that others can't because they're not smart enough.

"It seems I have no choice but to resort to force and coerce a sale." Li Yelai's words were tinged with regret, but the Crimson Dragon Halberd in his hand gleamed with a cold light.

He kicked the gambling table in front of him away, brandished the Crimson Dragon Halberd with one hand, and charged straight at the treasure chest.

In fact, Li Yelai was not sure if he had any reinforcements. He had been blocked by the fierce-looking burly man and had not found an opportunity to contact the authorities directly.

However, it is certain that the authorities have received the message he sent.

Therefore, as long as we obtain the forbidden item, we can delay until reinforcements arrive!
On the other side, when the old butler saw Li Yelai raise the Crimson Dragon Halberd, he decisively turned around and ran with his men, grabbing the boss who was still in a daze.

His mission was complete, and he dared not stay in this place any longer.

The others, belatedly realizing what was happening, followed closely behind them.

The scavengers who were supposed to stop them were also stunned by Li Yelai's actions and did not give chase.

Faced with Li Yelai's sudden advance, Xu Shi's expression had not yet shown surprise, and he had not yet recovered from the shock of the word "official".

What does "official" mean? Does it refer to the official website of Giant City?
The thing I got actually provoked the giant city?
Xu Shi was taken aback, but immediately spoke up.

"Wait! No!"

He had no intention of going against Jucheng. No matter how large the Red Darts Chamber of Commerce was, in Jucheng's eyes, it was ultimately just a small chamber of commerce.

He only wanted to secretly retrieve the gold coins that could make him rich, quietly develop the merchant guild, and recruit more wild psionicists to make the guild bigger and stronger.

These gold coins possessed an extremely powerful effect of good fortune, allowing his merchant guild to reap substantial benefits during a scavenging operation. If they could retrieve all the gold coins, their guild would rise to a new level!
He dared not do something that would directly offend the city.

However, before he could finish speaking, his arm was grabbed by the male bodyguard.

"Stop him!" the male bodyguard roared, grabbing Xu Shi with one hand and lifting the treasure chest with the other. He then quickly retreated and disappeared through the back door.

Clearly, he had no desire to risk fighting Li Yelai, or rather, wild psionicists generally didn't want to fight official handlers.

Without hesitation, the female bodyguard drew two hunting knives and approached Li Yelai.

Clearly, this was to buy Xu Shi and his male bodyguard time to evacuate.

Among the scavengers, some hesitated, but a considerable number, after a moment of blank stare, immediately raised their weapons and charged at Li Yelai.

Even worse, one of them pulled out a pistol from his waist, ignored his fellow scavengers in front of him, and fired directly at Li Yelai!
As the gunshots rang out, several scavengers fell to the ground, unable to get up. But even more scavengers surged towards Li Yelai.

'Is controlling behavior mere rambling? Or divine intervention?'

Li Yelai's gaze turned cold as he activated his psionic barrier to the maximum extent, blocking all the bullets to prevent further casualties.

At the same time, he leaped forward and smashed down with his Crimson Dragon Halberd.

Eighteen slashes with one hand, like an elephant's stomp!

With just one strike, he sent the female bodyguard flying back several meters. Her face turned pale, and blood trickled from her mouth and nose.

A contest of strength? Li Yelai's current strength is comparable to a True Martial Warrior at the third awakening!
How could a psychic who hasn't even mastered the technique of a psionic barrier possibly stand against it?

But Li Ye had no time to rejoice in his own power. Instead, he quickly swung his halberd and swept away all the scavengers who had surrounded him.

They immediately pressed on and rushed towards the back door.

But then he heard a whooshing sound as something crashed down on him. Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively sensed that the attacker was very strong.

So he raised his halberd to block, but felt a dark shadow pass over his defense and smash towards his head.

Li Yelai immediately turned his head to dodge, narrowly avoiding the attack, and could even feel the sharp tip brushing against his hair.

I almost got headshot!

Li Yelai immediately took a step back: "A flail? I didn't expect there to be an expert here!"

Only then did the attacker's figure appear.

It was none other than the scarred woman who had previously asked Li Ye to leave her with the flail. At this moment, she suddenly appeared in front of the back door, brandishing her flail.

It is currently unknown whether the visual interference is due to the Spirit Eye Path or the optical cloaking of the Netherworld Path.

"Thank goodness, I didn't blow your head off." The scarred woman's words were full of relief, but she had shown no mercy in her attack.

No wonder I couldn't block it just now. You can't block a flail; you can only dodge it. Otherwise, like before, the flail will bypass your defense and smash heavily into your body.

Behind her, two scavengers appeared, armed with weapons.

The lights flickered around them.

They were all clearly psionicists, but not much different from the female bodyguard. They were probably only recently become psionicists themselves. The scarred woman, however, seemed to have real strength.

"Have you considered the consequences?" Li Yelai frowned, looking at the scarred woman and the two behind her.

The Red Dart Merchant Guild already has five psionicists.

Are these wild psionicists who appeared because of previous events?

“We didn’t want to be exposed, but you defeated her in one move, so we can’t let you chase after her like this.” The scarred woman laughed. “But you, why don’t you do us a favor and let us leave safely? When we make a comeback with those lucky gold coins, we will never forget you.”

"You're really confident, aren't you? You think you can escape the giant city safely just because you can dodge me?" Li Yelai raised the Crimson Dragon Halberd again: "From today onwards, the Red Dart Merchant Guild will cease to exist!"

Openly attacking the handlers, the city will no longer allow the Red Dart Merchant Guild to exist. But the scarred woman didn't care: "That's a real pity, it took a lot of effort to get it. However, soon we will build a stronger force in the wilderness."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two wild psionicists behind her charged towards Li Yelai.

Behind Li Yelai, the scavengers controlled by some force rushed forward quickly, armed with weapons.

Li Yelai sighed and said into the communicator, "Branch, call more ambulances for me."

Then, he reached up and wiped his face.

Champion Hou's face!
"thunder!"

Shadow soldiers appeared, transforming into heavily armored cavalry on either side!

He can break through enemy lines, so he can certainly break through the enemy in front of him!

Meanwhile, the moment Li Yelai drew the Crimson Dragon Halberd, the West City branch's processing team, along with more than a dozen military armored vehicles, had already flooded into the Chamber of Commerce's factory area.

The scavengers from the merchant guild were utterly astonished, but dared not offer any resistance. They obediently surrendered.

However, right under everyone's noses, many scavengers suddenly raised their weapons and attacked the special forces and handlers.

At the same time, this also exposed many wild psionicists mixed in with the resisting scavengers and hastily dealt with the situation.

The appearance of a wild psionicist was within the West City branch's expectations, so when they learned that Night would discover a psionicist...

The West City branch stated that this was within expectations.

The appearance of a second digit indicates that this is still within the acceptable range.

But when nearly ten wild psionicists appeared.

The West City branch exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Fortunately, the psionicists were thrown out like expendable pawns, and did not cause any real harm, but they still attracted most of the handlers' attention.

Watching the fierce fighting outside, Xu Shi felt a chill run down his spine. Those were all his subordinates, now being controlled to attack the authorities.

"What have you done? Didn't you say you could help the Red Dart Merchant Guild take another step forward?" Xu Shi looked at the male bodyguard beside him in horror. "That's why I risked recruiting those psionicists, but you let them into the giant city and even controlled them to fight against the authorities. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Wouldn't it have been better to just sell them to the authorities? We could have gotten in touch with them and maybe even become an officially recognized merchant guild!"

The male bodyguard handed the treasure chest to Xu Shi and said, "Those are just expendable pieces. If the Red Dart Merchant Guild is gone, it's gone. With these things, you can quickly accumulate wealth and build an even bigger merchant guild."

"Now, grab the boxes, drive off! Escape the megacity using our channels!"

"And what about you?" Xu Shi asked, taken aback.

"Me? I'll naturally help you hold them off." The male bodyguard chuckled. "Let's go!"

It seemed as if a magic was blooming in Xu Shi's mind. Xu Shi obediently sat in the driver's seat and placed the treasure chest in the passenger seat.

Then, with a tap of the accelerator, an SUV sped straight out of the factory.

One of the processors witnessed this and whispered, "It's Xu Shi! He's carrying the Greedy Treasure Chest!"

"Stop him!"

The two officers immediately pursued Xu Shi.

Meanwhile, the male bodyguard smiled, took another treasure chest, and safely placed it in the back seat of the vehicle.

He then got into the armored vehicle and drove it to the secret exit he had prepared beforehand.

Abandoned pawns? Who isn't an abandoned pawn?

Those scavengers were, those wild psionicists were, and even Xu Shi himself was.

Only he can have the last laugh.

With this treasure chest, who would still care about the Red Dart Merchant Guild?

As he sped past the factory, a window high up suddenly shattered.
On the other side, the scarred woman was shocked and quickly retreated, as if she had seen a monster.

Because, in the crowd, after Li Yelai changed into a certain mask, the shadow of a cavalryman appeared beside him, and then he directly rammed into the approaching scavenger with his bare body.

Although the speed wasn't particularly fast, it still sent all the scavengers surrounding him flying.

When he stopped charging, he swung his halberd like a whip, and with a single sweep, he sent all the scavengers who had surrounded him flying. Those scavengers coughed up blood and could no longer get up.

Then, the halberd emerged like a serpent from its hole, piercing directly through the shoulder of a wild psionicist.

The next moment, Li Yelai raised his halberd with one hand and actually lifted the psionicist up and slammed him to the ground.

The psionicist slammed his head to the ground, losing several teeth in the process, and immediately fell into a deep coma.

The next second, Li Yelai drew the Crimson Dragon Halberd, grabbed one end with his free left hand, and exerted force with both hands, bending the more than two-meter-long halberd into a bow shape in his hands. Then, it shot out instantly.

The halberd lashed out instantly, striking another wild psionicist who was approaching with an axe. The psionicist was sent flying several meters, crashing heavily against the wall. After twitching twice, the psionicist lost consciousness.

They broke through the encirclement almost instantly, and in less than ten seconds, they knocked out more than thirty people, including two psionicists.

This made the scarred woman tremble with fear, especially when she saw Li Yelai looking at her.

The scarred woman's fear intensified. Despite being a second-stage psychic, she lacked the courage to confront him.

So he immediately used his aerial stepping technique to escape to the third floor of the factory, intending to escape from the window there.

But, it's too slow!
"Wind!" Li Yelai shouted, and his speed suddenly increased.

He also used the aerial stepping technique, appearing in front of the scarred woman in just one step.

Scarface was terrified. She swiftly swung her flail and used her ability to conceal herself, attempting to create distance and escape Li Yelai.

But Li Yelai still held the halberd in one hand, the tip of the halberd moving rapidly and thrusting out continuously, as if he were thrusting out dozens of times at the same time.

Eighteen strikes with one hand, like a swarm of bees!

The scarred woman, who had been hiding, was forced to reveal herself and could only swing her flail quickly to defend and attack, but she failed to touch the Crimson Dragon Halberd even once.

Until a 'click'

The handle of the Crimson Dragon Halberd was fastened to the chain of the flail.

Li Yelai suddenly pulled, and the flail in the scarred woman's hand slipped out.

Then, with a single hand, he made eighteen thrusts, like a serpent emerging from its hole!
It pierced through the scarred woman's shoulder along with the window behind her.

The scarred woman lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Li Yelai stepped forward through the air, grabbed the scarred woman's arm, and landed on the ground.

The moment he landed, he saw an armored vehicle speeding towards him.

Looking at the male bodyguard inside the armored vehicle, who looked utterly shocked.

Li Ye arrived and understood.

We're bound to encounter a formidable foe, right?

What a lucky coincidence!
