Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 82 Prey
Inside the metal shack, the one-armed girl was chained to the wall. Her mind was already a mess.

She watched helplessly as her relatives and family members, who had accompanied her as she grew up, were pierced through the chest and slaughtered.

I have also watched helplessly as someone chopped off my arm with an axe.

She knew she would never hear the neighbor's young man's dry, empty words of love again.

Because he was dead, his neck broken, his face contorted as he lay before me. Clearly, continuing to hide offered a chance of survival.
She knew she would never get to wear the manicure she had been longing for from the big city again.

Because all four of her limbs would be severed, and her skin and bones would be peeled off and made into some kind of weapon right in front of her.

She knew her fate: she would be turned into a human pig, continuing to bring profit to these beasts.

The future is bleak, filled only with despair.

She wanted to die, she really wanted to die.
At this moment, her originally dull eyes reflected a dazzling light.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the camp's walls! The newcomer, wielding a long halberd and riding a dragon steed, exuded domineering power and divine might!

The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire abandoned tunnel. It illuminated her despairing eyes.

It also illuminated the astonished faces of the three gunmen.

This was clearly their safest camp, yet suddenly cavalrymen broke through the wall and entered. Anyone would be confused in that situation.
The visitor was naturally Li Yelai, after learning that the Flying Gunman had left the subway midway.

He then deduced the approximate location of the gunman: it must be somewhere within the tunnel.

After splitting up with the two night watchmen, they successfully located the hideout of the gun-throwing thief.

So, they just broke through the wall!
Without any hesitation, the dragon steed stomped forward, unleashing another thunderous charge! Li Yelai thrust his halberd forward!

The woman smoking closest to the wall was the first to be hit. Before the shock on her face had faded, she saw the halberd thrusting straight at her.

Li Yelai has always believed in gender equality and will not hesitate because the enemy is male or female, good-looking or handsome.

An enemy is only a dead enemy!

Thus, Li Yelai's thrust was swift and deadly!

The woman smoking was startled. Facing the charging Thunder Dragon Steed, she had no time to dodge, but her eyes flashed. Activate your ability!
Spirit Eye Path, Illusionary Eye!
The scene before Li Yelai suddenly changed; the dark, sunless underground tunnel transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse. The woman smoking instantly transformed into a gigantic butcher wielding a machete.

The butcher wore a pig's head mask and was taller and bigger than the Iron Guard. His machete was stained with blood and he had a very strong intimidating presence.

Even knowing it's some kind of illusion, the sight of a butcher raising his cleaver sends a chill down your spine.

This is the Illusionary Eye.

Its effect is that once the target makes eye contact, it can drag the target into a certain illusion, and the more powerful the psionicist, the more realistic the illusion will be.

A powerful processor can even inject the pain from hallucinations directly into the target's brain.

Therefore, even if someone is injured in a hallucination, their body may be perfectly unharmed, yet they will still feel very distinct pain. This is because the brain is misled by the hallucination.

Even more extreme, some can drag illusions directly into reality, achieving the ability to distort reality!

The woman smoking was the one who dragged Li Yelai into the illusion, intending to create an opportunity for her companions to attack, and to buy herself time to create distance.

Even for a fleeting moment, even if the cavalryman was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the butcher, or if the butcher's attack altered the direction of his thrust, she would have had a chance to escape.

However, she underestimated Li Yelai's strength. How could a mere pig-headed butcher force Li Yelai to retreat?
He had seen far more terrifying monsters!

Without hesitation, he wielded his halberd, ignoring the butcher's raised blade, and thrust it out with the speed of a snake, piercing the butcher's abdomen!
One-Handed Eighteen Throws - The Serpent Emerges from Its Cave!
In an instant, the hallucination vanished.

The smoking woman's chest was pierced directly by the halberd. Li Yelai used one hand to lift the struggling woman up and slam her to the ground.

The smoking woman, who was already on the verge of death, slammed her head to the ground and fell silent.

From an outsider's perspective, Li Yelai's actions consisted of charging, launching enemies into the air, and slamming them into the ground!

He instantly killed the smoking woman!
This made the jackals outside the metal house and the gunmen inside tense, but they did not stop.

They already viewed Li Yelai as a psychic who had come to steal their property.

The Soul Reaper is their most precious asset; her blood, her bones, and her muscles all possess anti-spiritual properties.

We must take this treasure with us!

Then, the jackal unleashed his power. In an instant, thick black smoke billowed from his body.

It covered the entire camp.

Netherworld Path ability: Mist Concealment!
Li Yelai stopped sprinting. Rushing into the smoke without any visibility was dangerous and could potentially injure the Soul Reapers.

But he did not come alone.

At that moment, a figure appeared at the other end of the camp; it was a member of the Night Scout Team.

He simply exclaimed, "Gale!"

In an instant, a powerful airflow swept through the entire tunnel.

All the black smoke was blown away.

The metal hut was revealed, and it began to move rapidly, crashing headfirst through the camp's wall.

It turns out that the metal hut was originally an abandoned train locomotive.

This is also one of the escape methods used by the Flying Gunners! Once the camp is discovered, they can start the car and escape the encirclement.

As the smoke lingered, they successfully started the engine, and now they were ready to escape with the Extinction Warriors.

In an instant, the front of the vehicle had already sped out of the camp.

However, a second member of the Night Scouts appeared before the front of the vehicle. He stepped forward alone, his pupils turning golden. Golden patterns shimmered faintly on his body.

The True Martial Path, the Vajra Body.

Then, he swung the broadsword and cleaved the front of the car in two!

This terrified the wolf, who then chopped off the front of the car with a single blow.

This must be a psionicist with the fourth sense, or even a higher level!
"What do we do?" the jackal asked urgently.

He didn't know if he could survive if he handed over the Soul-Slaying One.
Even the most powerful spirits are precious, but none are as precious as one's own life.

However, the gunner did not respond to his question.

The jackal turned around in panic, but saw no one, not even the spear-wielding assassin.

He's gone? No, he's already run away!
Only the ticking countdown echoed in the carriage.

So, I was the bait all along?
"You beast!" The jackal was terrified, but then Night Stalker came up behind him and chopped off his neck.

After the two night scouts boarded the carriage, their expressions simultaneously darkened.

Because the Soul Reaper had a set of explosives strapped to his body.

This type of explosive is actually not considered dangerous for night watchmen.

Their thick psionic barrier can withstand the explosion of bombs.

However, the special abilities of the Spellbreakers cause the spiritual energy of any approaching psychic to be suppressed.

Moreover, the Spiritbreaker herself has no psionic barrier. The explosion would kill her instantly.

Seeing the numbers rapidly receding, the two Night Scouts didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward. The moment they approached the girl, they felt their spiritual energy being suppressed. Even the Well of Souls couldn't provide even a trace of spiritual energy.

As Ye Bushou activated his Vajra Body, his golden eyes became cloudy, and the golden meridian patterns on his body flickered between light and dark.

After being suppressed, he could no longer maintain his invincible body.

The powerful Night Watchman was originally an elite among psionicists. However, under the influence of the Spirit Absolute, he seemed to have reverted to an ordinary person without psionic abilities.

If the bomb explodes, there will be no more psionic barriers protecting them.

But they remained unmoved and instead quickly began researching methods to dismantle the explosives.

At the same time, one of the Night Scouts spoke up: "Night General, you go after them. Leave this to us!"

"Okay, be careful!" Li Yelai responded quickly.

He glanced around the camp and noticed that after the original metal huts were moved, a passage had appeared in the tunnel wall behind them.

This should have been a safety passage in the tunnel, usually concealed by a metal hut, but now it has become the escape route for the gunmen.

Using companions and the Soul Reapers as bait, what a cold-blooded beast!

Li Yelai controlled the dragon horse to rush into the passage, and soon arrived at a new tunnel.

At the same time, I heard the sound of the companion beetle again, which meant that I was very close to the gunner!
However, as a subway train drove away in the distance, the sound disappeared again.

"That son of a bitch is addicted to hanging things up!" Li Ye cursed under his breath, knowing that the Flying Gunman had hung up on the subway again.

However, before the dragon horse had run a few steps, Li Yelai heard an explosion.

Is it... the explosion on the side of the Soul Reapers?

Li Yelai immediately asked, "Are you all alright?"

The communicator was filled with noise.

Then, someone replied breathlessly, "It's alright, you continue the pursuit! But the Soulbreaker is too badly injured, we need to get her away immediately!"

"Damn it, her tendons in her hands and feet have been severed!" another night watchman's voice was filled with rage. "Even a piece of skin on her back has been torn off!"

At the critical moment, they defused the bomb. However, they were still injured by the blast. Fortunately, they were physically strong.

But the already fragile Soul Reaper coughed up blood. Even the Night Shield, who was used to seeing death, could not hide his shock when he saw the shocking wounds on her body.

Upon hearing this, Li Yelai gripped his halberd tightly, channeling more spiritual energy into the bell, causing the dragon steed to accelerate suddenly.

"Tell her I will help her get revenge!"

On the other side, the gunman who was clinging to the end of the subway also faintly heard the sound of an explosion.

He couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, I survived.

Although we lost the Spirit Slayer, we will never give up what we cannot have for others! I wonder if the explosion will kill those other psychics? If they die while trying to save the Spirit Slayer, that would be fantastic.

"I just don't know, which force contacted me?"

The Flying Gunner pondered, "Was that cavalryman riding a summoned creature? Could he be from the Black Umbrella organization? What a beast! I really shouldn't have traded with him. Did he add something to my weapon that found me?"

As I was thinking this, I saw a flash of lightning appear in the distance.

At the same time, an astonishing killing intent swept through the entire tunnel.

The Flying Gunner's expression changed as he looked at the cavalry figure charging towards him, enveloped in lightning.

He was somewhat incredulous; he was practically glued to the subway, how could the other person catch up to him like that?
"He really is a persistent nuisance!" The gunman knew that once the subway slowed down at the station, Li Yelai would definitely catch up with him.

So he stopped hiding and acted decisively.

He is also a level 3 psychic, possessing two attack abilities and anti-psychic weapons. There's no reason for him to lose against a fellow psychic!
Five javelins shot out instantly, hurtling towards Li Yelai at incredible speed, piercing from various tricky angles.

This is one of his abilities: psionic manipulation. His psionic energy manifests as threads that connect to weapons bearing his psionic imprint.

This allows the weapon to move and fly autonomously within a certain range.

The tips of these spears are infused with fragments of the bones of the Spiritbreakers, giving them a powerful anti-spiritual effect.

Li Yelai brandished his halberd, unleashing the Eighteen Single-Handed Swarm of Bees!

In an instant, the halberd and the javelin collided, creating a series of dazzling sparks.

So what if it's anti-psychic?

Li Yelai had no intention of using psionic energy to deal with the javelin throwers; his specialty was weapon warfare!

Despite the repeated thrusts from the javelins, Li Yelai quickly approached the subway.

The gunslinger grew anxious; this fast-moving terrain was unsuitable for him. He also dared not disembark directly to fight Li Yelai.

We have to drag him to a terrain where he can take advantage.

When the subway quickly exits the underground tunnel and enters the ground-level overpass section.

The scattered pedestrians on the street below stared in astonishment at this scene, some raising their phones to record the shocking sight.

At the same time, the gunman was secretly delighted.

He was actually riding a flying spear, flying directly towards the area below. The speed was much faster than stepping in the air.

Li Yelai's heart sank, and his dragon steed, Ta Lei, leaped up and followed closely behind!
Through the chase, the two had moved from the south of the city to the east, arriving at a small shopping mall in the old town of the east.

However, it was already late, and there was almost no one in the mall.

And this is the place where the Flying Gunner can best demonstrate his skills!

The gunman who crashed into the mall immediately raised his hand and fired all five javelins.

Invisible threads of psionic energy descended from beneath the spear.

The more complex the terrain, the more threads he can lay out.

The more threads he has, the stronger his attacks become.

His second offensive ability is Thread Burst, which explodes his psionic threads. A single thread isn't much more powerful than a firecracker, but when the number is high, the power is considerable.

Given enough time, this place will become his home ground!

The moment an enemy enters the area, they will be entangled by the ubiquitous threads due to their movement. Then... they'll explode!

He was like a spider, weaving his own web and waiting for his prey to arrive.

Once the opponent is exhausted from running away due to the explosion, my anti-psychic spear can kill them in one blow!
So when Li Yelai rode his dragon steed into the mall, he felt a sense of danger coming from all directions.

The Divine Path is a path for psionicists that becomes increasingly difficult to deal with the longer one prepares.

Looking at the uncharacteristically different Flying Gunman standing not far away.

Li Yelai did not charge immediately, but instead said coldly, "Mountain Lord, devour him!"
