Chapter 670: Chapter 314: Unmatched Among Peers
Blood rain fell, dyeing the flattened battlefield red. It also stained Li Yelai, who stood amidst the ruins.
The corpses, turned into a mire of blood and shattered bones, had their shadows break free and surge towards Li Yelai like a black tide.
Swallowed by Li Yelai’s shadow, they transformed into new members of the Shadow Army.
This addition to the Shadow Army increased Li Yelai’s forces to over nine hundred…
Each battle further enhanced his combat strength.
The bloody and eerie scene left the arriving Human Warriors at a loss for words.
Had he killed them all, alone vanquishing all foes of humanity?
Arriving swiftly at the battlefield, the shaken Ye Boshou exchanged glances, each reading shock in the other’s eyes.
The West City Captain who had come to help could not hide his astonishment either.
They had come at utmost speed from their respective strongholds or streets.
According to the intelligence they had received, there were hundreds of Chaos War Servants here, even a Chaos Egg and a Fifth Sense Bloodsucker.
It was supposed to be a tough fight.
Yet it had been suppressed… suppressed by one person.
Night General himself was only at Fifth Sense. Facing adversaries of the same level and the tricky Chaos Egg, he had achieved such battle results?
Was he truly unbeatable amongst his peers?
Yang Chen, Yang Chen!
You little rascal, you’ve been hiding such a figure!
With such power at Fifth Sense, once he advances to Sixth Sense…
That captain thought to himself, then entered the ruins and after surveying the surroundings to confirm all enemies were dead, he asked, “Night General Captain, are you injured?”
“No.” Li Yelai responded, “But my curse is rather troublesome, it’s not good to move at will. And those Chaos Eggs seemed to contain some plague viruses.”
Li Yelai had already used the “Face,” and moving recklessly might bring about some Calamity. Falling into a pit himself would be considered fortunate, not to mention it might further harm the nearby allies.
But he remembered those dangerous Chaos Eggs; they were dead through and through, yet the viruses on their corpses still posed a threat to Giant City.
“I understand.” The captain nodded, and immediately, Ye Boshou with gas masks began releasing Spiritual Flames to incinerate the corpses on the battlefield.
Especially those of the Chaos Eggs, which were given special attention, even their burned ashes were carefully sealed to ensure the plague virus would not spread further.
Subsequently, more teams arrived.
Due to the presence of the plague virus, official logistical personnel, carrying hammers, directly hammered out a temporary hospital and management area nearby.
Each one of them was a top-notch gifted student, known as civil engineering experts.
Using Divine Protection and Path of Zero abilities, they quickly built sturdy houses around that were supplied with water and electricity.
This provided effective aid to the infected patients, and a detailed investigation into the accident was conducted.
Only after making sure his own Calamity had disappeared did Li Yelai leave the ruins.
But having fought with the virus-carrying Chaos Eggs, he also had to be isolated for a while and undergo full-body disinfection.
In the shower of the temporary isolation area.
Watching the blood wash off his body with the water stream, Li Yelai slowly exhaled a heavy breath.
In this conspiracy, over thirty police officers were sacrificed, more than eighty workers twisted. A processor had his spine broken, Starfire was still not out of danger, and Heavy Knight was still unconscious after emergency treatment…
Damn!
Li Yelai almost crushed his teeth, the endless rage made his veins bulge.
Ember Church wanted to grant Li Yelai merits, and in a self-sacrificing manner, they offered many lower-level believers’ lives. It was to make the incident appear more dangerous and challenging. And by suppressing this danger, Li Yelai was to gain greater glory and attention.
If it were just that, Li Yelai would probably be pleased. He would prefer more of the Church’s people to die; the more of them that died, the less danger for the residents of Giant City.
But this time, the plot was built on the sacrifice of the residents of Giant City.
This made Li Yelai feel a sense of guilt.
Looking at those Human Warriors thanking him, the survivors grateful for his fast response, and the processors thanking him for avenging their colleagues.
Every word of theirs made Li Yelai feel anguish and suffocation.
Only after being rushed by the cold water for several minutes did he calm down.
Changing into clean clothes, he walked into the corridor of the temporary hospital.
“Night General Captain.” At this moment, a young processor with an arm in a cast stepped forward to greet him.
“You’re a processor from the East City Branch, right?” Li Yelai looked at the young processor, somewhat familiar but unable to recall his name.
“Yes, I am from the East City Branch, a member of the third Ranger group, Ci Gu.” The young processor replied, “Thank you for your support, you saved many people.”
Li Yelai paused for a moment, then shook his head, “Still, I arrived a bit too late… How is Starfire doing?”
“He is out of danger now, his Spiritual Ability Equipment shielded him from most of the impact.” Ci Gu responded, “Five of his ribs are broken and his organs were ruptured. Fortunately, the rescue was timely. With proper rest, he can return to the front lines.”
“That’s good to hear. He, being a Path of Zero Spiritual Ability User, was too risky to engage in close combat with a Fifth Sense Bloodsucker.” Li Yelai sighed in relief, and continued, “How about your team leader, Heavy Knight?”
Ci Gu paused before responding, “Part of her organs were crushed, but fortunately, not vital. The doctors removed some of her damaged intestines. She’s awake now. Would you like to see her?”
