Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 70 Avenging the Sorrow!

Sensing Li Yelai's overwhelming killing intent, the tattooed man's face lit up with joy: "Very good, let us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yelai had already closed in with his halberd.

He brandished his halberd with dazzling flourishes, then swiftly thrust forward. His momentum was overwhelming!
Faced with the enemy who killed his comrades, Li Yelai responded with the fiercest killing intent, and his first move was a killing blow!
One-Handed Eighteen Throws - Rhinoceros Charge!
"Forget the formalities, let's fight to the death!" Even as Li Ye approached, the tattooed man continued to laugh, his crimson markings flashing. He simultaneously slashed out with his large sword!

'boom'

The air currents and sounds generated by the collision of weapons imbued with psionic energy exploded in the dimly lit underground pipes!

Then came a continuous series of metallic clanging sounds, with flashes of cold light and sparks flying everywhere.

The whistling sound of weapons tearing through the air transformed into a deadly melody!

Li Yelai held the halberd in one hand and thrust it out repeatedly.

One-Handed Eighteen-Shot Swarm!
He thrust out the Crimson Dragon Halberd with lightning speed, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

The tattooed man held knives in both hands, concealing them around his head from all directions, and accurately blocked each stabbing attack.

Feeling the other's strength, the tattooed man was astonished by Li Yelai's power, considering himself a psionicist on the True Martial Path of the Third Awakening.

It has received nurturing and resource support from the Church of the Ashes.

This guy with the Second Awakening All Things Path is actually able to match me in terms of power?
Why is he so tall?
At the same time, the opponent's weaponry also seemed to be on par with their own, being C-grade psionic weaponry.

Does someone with a second awakening have such resources?

Indeed, the opponent's marksmanship and halberd skills were terrifyingly strong. The combat power he displayed when he just killed the black zombie was also extremely frightening; he could be said to be among the strongest second-awakened individuals the tattooed man had ever seen. Calling him a genius wouldn't be an exaggeration. If he were in a church, such a talented follower might even be chosen by God to be a servant.

It is indeed normal that he is valued and cultivated by the authorities!

"Very well, the Calamity Management Department does have some discernment. They haven't let this person's talent go to waste. Then let me cut off this genius's head and offer it to my Lord!"

The tattooed man laughed loudly, and as his broadsword was knocked away by Li Yelai's halberd, he switched hands to hold the sword.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his right leg and stomped on the ground.

As the tattooed man's foot landed, Li Yelai, who was about to chop off his thigh, felt a sense of danger.

He decisively stepped back in mid-air, retreating ten meters away.

But then he saw numerous cracks appearing in the ground beneath the tattooed man's feet. Li Yelai's heart sank. That kick actually possessed such power? If he hadn't used his aerial stepping technique, he might have been injured by the impact, or the sudden instability of the ground might have created an opening, allowing the man to decapitate him with a single strike.
"Ability?" Li Yelai snapped out of his surprise, maintaining a distance of ten meters.

This is indeed one of the abilities of tattoos, the True Martial Path Third Awakening ability, Shockwave!
It can infuse psychic energy and power into the ground, creating a powerful, widespread tremor. If a captain-level psychic were to wield this ability, they could crush a tall building with a single step.

He's a level 3 psychic, after all; he's not so easy to deal with.

Li Yelai recalled the male bodyguard from the Red Darts Merchant Guild that he had arrested before.

He was also a level 3 psychic, but he was taken down without showing any power.

As expected, wild psionicists cannot compare to psionicists from the Church of the Embers, who have resources and training.

This tattooed guy could probably easily defeat that male bodyguard who's also at the third level of awakening.

Superb swordsmanship, powerful skills, and high-quality psionic weaponry.
'This guy is tough.' Li Yelai's heart sank slightly, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished. From their previous exchange, he could tell that this guy's strength was not greater than his own.

I'm not without a chance of winning. I have to kill this guy to avenge that mole and my other teammates!

"Wow, that's a really quick reaction!"

Seeing Li Yelai escape, the tattooed man couldn't help but laugh, "What a pity, the Calamity Management Bureau was the first to find you. If you had joined the church, you would have received more resources and guidance, instead of being beheaded here!"

He was genuinely disappointed. With Li Yelai's bizarre abilities and combat talent, it would have been wonderful if he were a member of the Ember Church.

Then, a faint red glow appeared on the broadsword in his hand, and flames soared up with every swing.

He activated the abilities of his psionic weaponry, clearly indicating that he was preparing to get serious.

Li Yelai then took out a silver bell from his pocket and shook it slightly. As the clear bell rang, the dual-sword knight appeared beside Li Yelai.

"A summoned creature?" The tattooed man frowned, then relaxed: "You're indeed highly regarded, making you all the more worthy of being killed!"

He was full of confidence. As a third-awakening psionicist, he naturally had no worries about a second-awakening and a second-awakening summon.

Li Yelai didn't respond, silently scanning the weaknesses of the tattooed man's psionic weapon. If he could break the weapon, his chances of victory would be much greater.

However, the weaknesses of psionic weapons are elusive and difficult to pinpoint in combat. Opportunities must be created.
Li Yelai thought to himself, and once again held the halberd in one hand.

The next second, Li Yelai and the dual-sword knight attacked simultaneously.

The dual-wielding knight flashed to the tattooed man's side and, before the man could react in surprise, slashed down with his twin blades!

The tattooed man took a step back, creating several meters of distance, and quickly dodged the attack, only to find that the dual-wielding knight had disappeared again and reappeared in front of him.

The double swords were changed from slashing to thrusting, aimed straight at the tattooed man's chest.

This is the danger of the Dual-Sword Knight. As a knight from the forbidden zone in his previous life, his combat skills and countermeasures were extremely high. Even when Li Yelai sparred with him, he had to be careful of being ambushed by him in succession.

Now it's time for tattooed men to consider this issue.

The tattooed man raised an eyebrow. After failing to shake off the pursuer despite several retreats, he swiftly swung his flaming greatsword, the blazing blade striking the dual-wielding knight's weapon. Then, he twisted his blade and struck the knight's shoulder.

This is a baffling move. The dual-wielding knight is wearing thick plate armor; you might not even be able to cut through it with your sword. What's the point of slapping him?

This simple strike caused the dual-wielding knight to tremble, and flames began to seep from beneath the plate armor on his shoulders. The knight let out a silent cry of pain and then quickly retreated.

The strike had actually ignited the dual-wielding knight's arm, burning the powerful knight.

The mysterious material used in this psionic weapon comes from the igniting ability of the Zero Path. It can ignite the opponent's body simply by touching them. Therefore, anyone who touches it will be injured.

However, before the flames in front of him had even dissipated, the tattooed man felt a chill run down his spine.

In the next instant, a halberd appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the flames and heading straight for the tattooed man's neck!

It was Li Yelai. He charged directly into the raging flames in mid-air and used it as cover to launch a surprise attack from an angle the tattooed man hadn't expected.

One-Handed Eighteen Throws - Rhinoceros Charge!
"That's really tricky!" The tattooed man's heart tightened, and he cursed the insidious nature of the situation in his mind. He immediately blocked the attack with his broadsword.

'Click'

But then they heard a strange metallic clanging sound.

It was his broadsword blade that was caught by the handle of Li Yelai's Crimson Dragon Halberd!
This made the tattooed man's heart pound, and he felt a huge pulling force, causing the blade to be pulled away.

Then, the halberd thrust forward in an instant!
One-Handed Eighteen Throws - The Serpent Emerges from Its Cave!
By using the handle of the halberd to catch the enemy's weapon, pulling and swinging it away or deflecting it, and then quickly thrusting forward, one can make it difficult for the enemy to defend against or parry.

The tattooed man, true to his status as an elite member of the church, managed to dodge a fatal blow that should have pierced his neck the instant his weapon was deflected. The tip of the halberd grazed past his left cheek.

At the same time, he took a sudden step forward.

Shockwave!
Li Yelai decisively twisted his halberd, simultaneously leaping into the air to dodge the shockwave. He then took several steps in mid-air, pausing in mid-air.

The tattooed man covered his left cheek, crimson blood seeping from between his fingers.

"Good, very good!" he roared in agony, his left cheek and left ear already torn apart.

He did indeed dodge Li Yelai's "Snake Emerging from its Cave" attack, but as Li Yelai spun his halberd, the sharp halberd handle whirled and sliced ​​off his left ear and cheek. To be injured to this extent by someone at the second awakening stage filled him with both anger and excitement.

If such enemies were to behead and offered to my lord, my lord would surely bless me!
Li Yelai's expression changed, because he faintly heard the sound of the wall above cracking and metal twisting.

The misfortune continues; even at this level, a collapse is still possible.

That makes sense. Given the intensity of the battle and the extent of damage on the upper level, a landslide was a highly probable accident.

With myself as the unlucky one, what was a high probability becomes an absolute certainty.

And it might even hit you on the head!
Looking at the tattooed man below, Li Yelai had an idea and immediately changed the direction of his steps in the air.

It suddenly plummeted, crashing down on the tattooed man like a meteorite.

He slammed down with a long halberd, unleashing the Eighteen Single-Handed Thrusting Move – E

Upon seeing this, the tattooed man roared in anger, gripping his knife with both hands, the blade bursting into flames. He leaped into the air, engulfed in flames, intending to fight Li Ye head-on!

This was his strongest strike! And his fastest strike!

"Kill you! Offer you to my lord!" he roared, his legs suddenly thrusting forward, leaping through the air! Flames trailed behind him, leaving a dazzling trail of light!

The two seemed poised to collide violently in mid-air.

However, just as they were about to collide, at the very moment when a single move would decide the outcome.

The tattooed man witnessed a bizarre scene: Li Yelai suddenly took a step to the right, abruptly changing his falling direction and avoiding a collision with the tattooed man.

Afraid to fight head-on? Coward!

The tattooed man was furious, but in the next instant, all that fury turned into boundless terror.

Because, right after Li Yelai dodged, the ceiling behind him suddenly cracked.

Then, the entire underground exploration machine, along with the Chaos Egg and the powerful figures from both sides, crashed down all at once!
The tattooed man was positioned directly below them!

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" he screamed in terror, frantically trying to change direction. Who could have imagined such danger lurking behind the enemy?
Unfortunately, he rushed too fast and too close. Even as he took a step in the air to try and shift his position, he couldn't shake off the momentum from his full-speed sprint.

It crashed head-on into the massive tracks of the underground exploration machine and was slammed into the ground.

The massive impact shattered his psionic barrier, causing him to cough up blood uncontrollably. Despite this, he managed to use his full power to perform an aerial step, barely managing to escape the underground excavator before it crashed into the ground, thus avoiding being crushed into a pulp.

Boom! The enormous crashing sound almost echoed throughout the entire underground space.

The underground excavator smashed through this layer and continued to smash into an even deeper one.

The tattooed man rose in terror from the ruins, seeking help from his fellow believers.

However, when he looked up, he saw Li Yelai standing in front of him.

Li Yelai was also in bad shape. As the target of misfortune, even though he had dodged the underground excavator in advance, he was still hit by the falling steel bars.

His body was already stained with blood.

But he remained unmoved and slammed his crimson dragon halberd down.

The tattooed man was suffering from chest pain and serious injuries, but all he could do was raise his knife and fight back.

Flames ignite, each blade a blazing inferno!

He launched his furious counterattack, unleashing a dense net of sword fire!

'boom'

'boom'

'Bang' 'Bang'.
The sounds of weapons clashing grew increasingly violent, yet they carried a sense of despair.

Li Yelai was wielding a halberd, while he himself was wielding a broadsword, but he couldn't match Li Yelai's halberd in terms of slashing speed.

From the initial clashes to the later parries, and finally to the horizontal defense with a horizontal blade.

Each time Li Yelai slammed down, it made his blood surge and his internal organs tremble.

Li Yelai's halberd continued its relentless assault, crashing down relentlessly. The sound of it tearing through the air was like thunder, or the thunder of galloping warhorses!

One-Handed Eighteen Throws - Horseshoe Thunder!

After being struck more than eighty times, the tattooed man was bleeding profusely from his mouth and nose, and was vomiting a large amount of blood.

He was literally injured by Li Yelai's shockwave!
He stomped his foot hard on the ground and unleashed the power of the Shockwave once more.

Li Yelai, however, leaped ahead of time, dodging the shockwave while simultaneously throwing out his halberd with one hand.

One-Handed Eighteen Throws - Elephant Stomp!
"This is unfair..." the tattooed man said with difficulty and pain. It was indeed unfair; he had been caught in the crossfire and seriously injured, not at his peak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

Li Yelai did not stop; he would not accept any surrender from these beasts!

Fairness? You still have the nerve to ask for fairness? Misfortune is his weapon of attack!
He swung his halberd down, aiming for the weak point!

‘click’

He cut both the flaming swordsman and the tattooed man in two at the same time!

He said he would avenge his colleague, and now he has fulfilled his promise!
Without any hesitation, Li Yelai suddenly jumped up.

Less than a second after Li Yelai left, the Chaos Egg that had fallen from the collapse to this level extended its tentacles and slammed heavily onto the spot where the tattooed man's corpse was.

The tattooed man's corpse was crushed and devoured by the Chaos Egg.

Then, the bloated body of the Chaos Egg rushed towards Li Yelai.

Clearly, they targeted Li Yelai, who had the lowest level of awakening among those present, as their prey.

Well, we're bound to encounter a formidable foe, so you're going to give us a Chaos Egg, huh?
The Chaos Egg was moving so fast that Li Yelai couldn't create any distance between them.

He gritted his teeth and reached into his clothes.

"Run! Night General!" An officer blocked Li Yelai's path.

Meanwhile, several processors rapidly approached the Chaos Egg. But the Chaos Egg was already too close!

"Don't look at me!" Li Yelai shouted back, then quickly pulled a lock of hair from his bosom.

In an instant, the Chaos Egg, which had extended its tentacles, suddenly screamed and rolled backward in terror.

The curse of the doll is something even the Chaos Egg fears!
The handlers, who listened to the advice, were overjoyed and decisively stepped forward to attack the Chaos Egg, which was still gripped by fear.

He commented, "Holy crap! You really are having an affair with the doll!"

Li Yelai did not respond to his teammates' complaints.

Instead, in a daze, he saw the tattooed man come back to life in front of him in a strange space, shouting something in terror.

Then, it was dragged into the mist and swallowed up completely by a tentacle.
