Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 72 Things Flopped

They watched as the strange train suddenly burst through the tunnel and rushed towards them.

Everyone, including Li Yelai, was stunned.

Their original opportunity was to wait here for the enemies drawn by Li Yelai's curse of "inevitable encounter with a powerful foe".

Nearly a hundred handlers, along with fully armed special forces and border guards. What enemy can't they take down?

I never expected to be waiting for a train!

Is this what they mean by "a carload of people"? Or "a whole trainload of people"?

After a brief moment of shock, everyone immediately launched an attack on the train!

The guards and special forces quickly set up firing positions, while the handlers rushed towards the train. It was as if a large net had already been laid out, waiting for its prey.

The psionic barrier on the Underworld Train recovered quickly. This is why the captains were unable to effectively stop the train.

However, under the siege of such a large number of psionicists, the psionic barrier's recovery rate simply could not keep up with the consumption.

On the train, the members of the Ember Church, who were suddenly besieged, were also extremely surprised.

The surprise attack and infiltration had already caused them heavy losses. Now, their hard-won defensive forces were scattered.

They had no choice but to completely abandon the underground ritual, as well as all the construction and resources of this branch. They activated the Underworld Train and escaped.

This has already caused them great distress.

The urgency of the situation prevented them from taking enough resources with them.

The losses were enormous, rendering their branch, which they had painstakingly built up over a decade, completely obsolete.

Even so, nearly a hundred officers were on high alert along the escape route!

What happened?
How did the Yellow Springs Train choose its route?

Did they deliberately charge into the enemy's encirclement?
Even the chosen one of extraordinary status was taken aback for a moment.

Feeling the pressure of the psionic energy emanating from the large number of psionicists ahead, and the psionic barrier that was gradually being torn apart from the train.

His furrowed brow gradually relaxed: "Don't panic, keep accelerating, prepare to intercept the boarding. I'll intervene if necessary. As long as we hold the train, they can't stop us!"

This isn't blind confidence. The Underworld Train carries a large amount of firepower, a significant number of followers, and a rapidly regenerating psionic barrier. The Underworld Train is practically a mobile fortress!
As long as they don't lose control, they will always be able to escape the giant city.

"Yes!"

The loyal followers of the Church of Embers shouted excitedly and immediately launched a counterattack.

This person is the strongest in the branch who is closest to that great being, possessing the powerful blessing of that great being. He might even attract the attention of that being!
As long as the Chosen One intervenes, everything will be alright!
And these ordinary believers will be the witnesses to this miracle!
So they excitedly and enthusiastically launched a counterattack against the handlers.

Use your various abilities to battle the handlers who are approaching the train.

Like the goat-headed man, whose ability is corpse manipulation, he can precisely control corpses to fight enemies, or simultaneously crudely command them to react accordingly. Now, he has inscribed evil rituals within the collected corpses and controlled several to jump off a train, rush to the handlers, and self-destruct.

But the processors have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice.

The corpses were detonated remotely before they even got close. Some of the Divine Path Processors even began to seize control of the corpses.

Some fanatical followers, in an attempt to buy time, jumped off the train and fought against the handlers.

However, he was hacked to death by the even more ferocious handlers!

Zhenwu? There's a whole bunch of Zhenwu here!
For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with explosions and shouts of battle.

The train struggled forward, leaving behind a large number of corpses. Many bodies were caught in the wheels.

Blood and bits of flesh stained the train, turning what was once a rustic train into a sinister and eerie place.

This made the believers on the train even more nervous. They all looked at the Chosen One.

The chosen one, however, remained calm and composed, sitting comfortably in his seat in the carriage, even having the leisure to savor the fine wine.

He didn't seem worried.
That's true. Although there are many people blocking the way, given the nature of the Yellow Springs Train, even if some administrators jump on board, as long as the Chosen Ones are there, everything will be fine.

Outside the train, the dispatchers were gathering their superior forces.

While suppressing the fanatical cultists, the relentless attacks on the train gradually tore apart its psionic barrier.

As a dark blue barrier flashed across the train carriages, the operators, caught in the heat of battle, were instantly energized.

"Now! First quarter!"

"Mountain-Breaking Cone!"

A processor on the zero-path roared, compressing a massive block of concrete into a stone cone the size of a washbasin. Simultaneously, it was being frantically accelerated and compressed.

It shot out instantly, unleashing several sonic booms, clearly exceeding the speed of sound. It slammed heavily onto the first carriage!
In an instant, the car window, no longer protected by the psionic barrier, was pierced through, the stone cone shattered, scattering countless bits of mud and ash, and widening the crack.

Several figures quickly slipped through the car windows and invaded the interior!
After they entered the carriage, the punctured window was repaired again, and the psionic barrier outside was rapidly being filled.

Inside the carriage, watching the mud and dust splatter, all the believers prepared to fight.

"Enemies have boarded the train!" a follower shouted frantically. "Prepare to welcome the boarding!"

"Sit down, what's the panic?" God's Chosen said indifferently, "Two people are enough to scare you like this. Don't tarnish the church's reputation."

He had already sensed it; there were only two people who had successfully jumped over to the handlers inside the carriage.

One of them was even a second-stage psychic.

Hahaha.
After finally managing to switch sides, they were delivered a level 2 awakened psychic. These calamity handlers really don't know what they're talking about.

However, the other one, the chosen one, was wary.

"A captain-level powerhouse?"

As the smoke cleared, many believers saw the faces of the defectors.

It was a young man with floral makeup on his face, standing at the bottom of the carriage holding a halberd.

Beside him, a shadow slowly spread out. A woman appeared in a nearby seat, holding a two-handed greatsword. She sat down without launching an attack, instead indifferently observing the crowd.

This woman is very strong and dangerous!
All the followers sensed the danger, but dared not show too much tension, instead remaining seated and forcing themselves to remain calm. They were more afraid of angering the chosen ones than dealing with a powerful handler.

The chosen one, however, looked strangely at the masked youth.

He sensed a certain unease emanating from the young man.

Those who came were naturally Li Yelai, and the Little Mad King who had always been hiding in the shadows!

The staff went to great lengths to get Li Yelai onto the train.

The plan has now succeeded.

Li Yelai looked at the people in the carriage and smiled, "Hello."

The crowd was somewhat taken aback when they saw that the two did not launch an attack.

The chosen one calmly said, "It's a bit too late to back down now."

His gaze swept over the Little Mad Queen, and his reason told him that she could erupt at any moment. She was probably the more dangerous one.

But I don’t know why.

The powerful inspiration bestowed upon him by the gods made him care even more about Li Yelai.

Is this second-awakening psychic more dangerous than the team leader?
What power does he possess? Could he be another deity?
"Impossible. If he's a follower of some god, why would he become a calamity handler?" The chosen one squinted, pondering.

He still did not get up, nor did he order an attack.

As a chosen one and a fellow sixth-level expert, he was completely unafraid of experts of the same level.

Therefore, even if only one captain enters the train, he still has a great chance of winning.

However, he was also concerned about why the two hadn't launched an attack.

They were even more eager to figure out where the power within Li Yelai came from.

"There is a power about you that I find intriguing. Who are you?" the chosen one asked indifferently.

These words startled the followers.

Could this masked youth also be a chosen one of some being?
Shouldn't they be accomplices?

Li Yelai did not respond to the question from the chosen one, but turned to the Little Mad King and said, "Little Mad King, please stand up first."

Stand up?
Little Mad King gave him a strange look, but silently got up and walked to Li Yelai.

With her there, even if the chosen one were to do something, she could guarantee Li Yelai's safety.

As one of the successors designated by the old Mad King, she possesses formidable strength and confidence.

So what if outsiders don't believe in her? She will prove everything.

Even when facing a chosen one who worships a deity and has gained certain mysterious powers, she remains fearless. She has sufficient means to bring Li Ye away from here.

Seeing that the Little Mad King had stood up, Li Yelai addressed the still-seated crowd, saying, "Then... everyone here is trash!"

"presumptuous!"

In an instant, a chilling killing intent emanated from the chosen one.

As he stood up, a surge of psionic energy swept through the entire carriage.

The powerful energy bestowed upon him by the gods was reviving within him, and he was indeed unable to face the combined attacks of several captains at the same time, especially the champion captain among them.

However, he is not someone a second-awakening psychic protected by a captain-level powerhouse can afford to offend!
Even if it might be another chosen one!
We mustn't offend him like that!
The being he worships is far beyond the reach of those nameless minor gods!

However, what he saw was that Little Mad King transformed into a black shadow, carrying Li Yelai and instantly smashing the train window, escaping from the Yellow Springs Train.

They escaped?

This left the chosen one quite astonished.

What? You guys came all this way just to spout some tough talk and then leave? Are you crazy?

Even the most fanatical people who worship a god of a thousand changes are not as sick as you!
Even a powerful being like God himself wouldn't dare disembark and pursue the enemies who escaped the train; he truly couldn't do anything about them. He couldn't very well get off the train and chase after them, could he?
However, in that moment of shock, he felt the entire train shaking.

'crunch'

The piercing sound of metal twisting echoed throughout the train.

"What's going on?" God's Chosen roared. "Has someone else defected?"

The terrified response from the train operators.

"No, the train has derailed! The engine is out of control! The brakes have failed! Get off the train quickly!"

The chosen one's eyes widened, and his first thought was, "Bullshit!"

Why do these problems occur with contraindicated substances?
This is the train to the underworld!

It forges its own path and automatically generates tracks. How did it derail?
Then, the chosen one saw several iron wheels flying outside the car window.
Damn it, those are the wheels of the train to the underworld!
(Vehicle Killer: Hello!)
The next second, the Chosen One felt a powerful impact coming towards him.

"Activate the psionic barrier and prepare for the impact!"

That was the most desperate roar of God's chosen one. He knew he couldn't escape.
Then, the entire train crashed heavily into the metal wall, tumbling, tumbling, and finally crashing down!
Even with their psionic barriers activated to the maximum extent, the cult members on the train were still thrown around in a daze.

Even the most powerful beings felt a wave of dizziness.

When his vision returned, he saw that several team leaders had been waiting outside the carriage for a long time.

What a desperate scene! They were about to escape when the car crashed, and when they looked up, they saw five team leaders handling the situation.

"God, let me try and see if your gods can save you."

A square-faced man, wielding a halberd and clad in bright armor, spoke in a cold voice.

It was none other than Captain Yang Chen!
The chosen one looked at the scarlet cloak behind the man; it carried a familiar scent—it was natural.
A powerful human once stormed a branch of the church, slaying a strong chosen one and a powerful divine servant, his cloak stained with blood.

Therefore, they were hailed as
The Chosen One gritted his teeth and roared, "Champion Team One!"

He roared, summoning his last bit of strength, determined to fight the five captains to the death!

This was his last act of defiance, and also his last hope.

"My lord, grant me strength!"

In a daze, he saw in the illusory realm that the blessings of the gods were converging across the galaxy.

God! God is watching me! My Lord has answered me!
God was overjoyed, but in the next instant, all that joy turned into despairing fear.

Because a tentacle suddenly appeared and severed that power!
The chosen one, his heart pounding with fear, cried out: "No!!!"

Meanwhile, the processors were praising Li Yelai's curse.

"Night General, well done!"

"I acknowledge you as the strongest!"

"While driving this car, one of the wheels just flew off!"

"Hahaha, it's curled up like a twisted dough stick!"

"Now the church has finally learned what a vehicle killer is!"

"I told you long ago, the night will work!"

Together, they helped Li Yelai onto the train.

Then, we witnessed the incredible scene of the train collapsing and going out of control on its own.

While the workers were pleasantly surprised, they hid their car keys even deeper.

Well, now all the processors in the entire megacity know that Night General of the East City branch is a vehicle killer.

It's unlikely that Li Yelai will be able to hitch a ride with anyone after that.

Li Yelai was unable to respond to his comrades' praise, and instead leaned against the wall, his face showing some pain.

He wasn't seriously injured, but his body was put under tremendous strain when Little Mad King grabbed him and quickly pulled him out of the carriage.

That speed was something even Li Yelai, with his third awakening True Martial Physique, couldn't withstand.

So much so that when an administrator approached, praising Li Yelai while patting him on the shoulder.

Li Yelai responded.

'vomit'

I need to catch a train to another city tomorrow to be a groomsman, so I might have to ask for leave.
