Chapter 725: Chapter 339: Invincible Below Sixth Sense, Equal Exchange Above Sixth Sense!_2
Zhao Lin’s body trembled as he quickly rushed out of the crowd.
“Lord Ye, please… spare his life!”
At the same time, Zhao Xiao roared and launched a fierce attack.
Despite being consumed by rage, he still retained impressive combat instincts. Axes crisscrossed, performing Charging Heavy Strikes repeatedly. The frequency of attacks was not as high as before, but the power had doubled. Every strike was a Charging Heavy Strike!
He abandoned all defense, relying solely on his Vajra Body to withstand hits, creating a piercing metallic clanging as the long spear stabbed into him. Meanwhile, he furiously slammed his axes onto Li Yelai’s Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, forcefully halting Li Yelai’s advance.
Kill, kill, kill! Battle, battle, battle!
Zhao Xiao felt his strength growing stronger, was this the gift of battle? Good!
Let me continue to fight!
Rage robbed him of his rationale, continuously enhancing his combat power. Even if it meant walking toward the Abyss…
Red patterns spread across his muscular body, making his Vajra Body even more resilient. Li Yelai too felt a hint of pressure.
This caused many experienced Spiritual Ability Users to change their expressions.
Could Zhao Xiao be corroded by Chaos?
Li Yelai, however, had anticipated this. He gestured with his left hand, causing the approaching crowd to back away.
‘So this is Curse Enhancement, huh? Truly a heaven-defying ability! I wonder, can he also enhance my Calamity?’
Always enhancing the target’s curse, discarding even his own comrades to probe Li Yelai’s strength?
Hahaha… Excellent, it will probably be very joyous to kill him.
Li Yelai’s expression remained indifferent, but his spear burst into a dragon’s roar.
A Golden Dragon with five claws seemed to roar out from the halberd.
Following Li Yelai’s Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Bee Swarm, Dragon Claws continuously clawed at Zhao Xiao, leaving behind bloodstains.
‘Isn’t the ability of Spiritual Ability Equipment enough to tear through the Vajra Body’s defense? The power of Chaos has already started to take effect,’ Li Yelai thought. As for using Face? Indeed it was possible. Under Weakness Perception, even the strongest physical defense was invalid, but Li Yelai did not want to fulfill Ye Han’s wishes.
These were all trump cards to be used on Ye Han, not to be revealed just yet.
‘Well, let’s try the new move,’ Li Yelai thought.
His Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd continued to stab out. At the same time, spinning rapidly!
Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Bee Swarm·Spiral!
Each thrust of Li Yelai’s spear spun like a drill bit at high speed.
In an instant, more than a dozen drill-like strikes mercilessly bombarded Zhao Xiao, the spinning spearhead ruthlessly slicing through Zhao Xiao’s Vajra Body, splattering flesh and blood!
Hundreds of wounds, large and small, appeared on his body. Vajra Body, broken!
“AAAH!!!” Zhao Xiao screamed in agony, pain, and blood causing his eyes to turn even redder. He resisted the attacks, attempting to trade blow for blow. His axes viciously smashed down at Li Yelai.
Li Yelai backed up to dodge the attack, then surged forward again in the blink of an eye as his long spear punctured Zhao Xiao’s shoulder with the Single-handed Eighteen Pokes·Rhinoceros Charge!
The sharp spear tip ‘pfft’ pierced directly through Zhao Xiao’s shoulder, completely penetrating the Vajra Body’s defense!
Zhao Xiao let out a wretched scream as Li Yelai swung the halberd, lifting Zhao Xiao up, and performed another Dragon Rise!
He fiercely swung Zhao Xiao up into the air, tracing a perfect circle before slamming him heavily onto the ground.
A massive roar erupted as the stone tiles on the ground shattered completely.
Zhao Xiao was momentarily dazed by the impact, but the surging rage threw him back into madness.
He grabbed the spear, attempting to pull it out of his shoulder.
However, the spear continued to sink, gradually cutting through his flesh and bones.
With a ‘crack,’ the sound of broken bones made Zhao Xiao even more furious. He struggled against the shoulder nailed by the spear, attempting to break free from the restraints and continue the fight.
However, the next moment, Zhao Xiao saw Li Yelai’s cold gaze.
Zhao Xiao’s bloodshot eyes faltered, for he… seemed to have seen a more terrifying and noble existence.
The voice in his mind that bewitched him to keep fighting suddenly stopped abruptly.
At the same time, Li Yelai slipped his left hand into his trench coat pocket and quietly took out the Emotion Pocket Watch from the Ark Space.
He forcibly turned the watch’s hand to the calmness indicator.
This was Li Yelai’s test; although he had not a shred of fondness for Zhao Xiao, you could even say disgust, he still maintained goodwill toward the pitiable girl Zhao Lin.
This made him choose not to deal a killing blow but to attempt to suppress Zhao Xiao’s curse with the Emotion Pocket Watch.
Ultimately, Zhao Xiao’s curse was just an extreme emotion—it just happened to more easily attract the corruption of Chaos. Before complete corruption set in, it should be controllable by the Emotion Pocket Watch.
Sure enough, following Li Yelai’s manipulation, Zhao Xiao stopped struggling. The red lines that looked like meridians on his body gradually disappeared.
His gaze cleared gradually, but the severe pain made his consciousness blur.
‘Sorry…’ He struggled to open his mouth, apparently apologizing for his actions.
However, Li Yelai’s gaze remained indifferent. Glancing at the tearful Zhao Lin who was running over, he muttered, “The one you should be apologizing to is your sister, you fool!”
Whether Zhao Xiao heard him or not, he then fell unconscious.
This caused Ye Han in the distance to frown slightly. What’s going on?
The anger disappeared? Shouldn’t Zhao Xiao be withering in endless rage?
This had just begun, so why did it suddenly stop?
‘Such a waste, in a state of rage and he couldn’t even force out a single Face from Li Yelai! He didn’t even compel out an ability!’ Ye Han cursed inwardly, but his expression remained worried. Together with his companions, he moved forward, intending to take Zhao Xiao away. That was his comrade.
However, Li Yelai pulled the long spear out of Zhao Xiao’s body and said, “Medical team.”
“Present, Captain.” An official member immediately responded from the crowd.
“Treat him, deduct the cost from my Merit Points,” Li Yelai said. “Given his condition, I reckon he won’t be able to make it to the Immortal Palace. Don’t leave any lingering illnesses.”
“Rest assured, Night General Captain,” an official Spiritual Ability User said after checking Zhao Xiao’s injuries. “We are professionals.”
Then, Li Yelai glanced at the weeping Zhao Lin next to Zhao Xiao and said, “Family members should accompany him. The rest of you, please do not disturb.”
“Yes!” the official members answered.
Zhao Lin nodded gratefully and, with the medical team, lifted the unconscious Zhao Xiao onto a stretcher. Then they quickly left the plaza.
During this, she didn’t even glance at Ye Han.
She was very clear that Li Yelai was providing her with an opportunity to break away from Ye Han.
Getting treated within the official circle would prevent Ye Han from contacting Zhao Xiao again, even if Zhao Xiao still believed him to be a good brother.
As for what came after… Ye Han probably wouldn’t have a chance anymore.
This caused Ye Han’s complexion to shift slightly: ‘Could it be that Li Yelai has sensed something? Impossible! No one knows my ability!’
But under the public eye, he could only say to his companions, “Looks like Brother Zhao Xiao won’t be making it this time. Blame me, I couldn’t suppress his curse in time.”
“It was his own choice; you don’t need to blame yourself,” Snow Mountain Blind Hero shook his head. “The fact that he survived is already fortunate. Thanks to Lord Ye holding back, or else…”
Ye Han’s gaze flickered as he nodded silently.
Meanwhile, someone in the crowd started to clap in praise.
Without using any abilities, Li Yelai had defeated a Fifth Sense True Martial purely through close combat.
It was enough to prove the value of his unbeatable status among his peers!
And Li Yelai flicked the blood and flesh off the spear, speaking in the calmest of tones, “I am unbeatable below the Sixth Sense; above it, it’s one for one.”
“So, does anyone else wish to challenge me?”
Li Yelai was not an arrogant person; he normally wouldn’t speak such words.
But at this moment, he wanted to provoke someone into action. It could save a lot of trouble.
Yet Ye Han remained unmoved, blending into the crowd and leaving.
Only his faintly twitching nerves hinted that his mood was anything but calm.
‘Just wait, if I can’t kill you here, when we enter the Immortal Palace, no one will know how you died!’
