Chapter 175: Chapter 82: Cave-In

As Li Yelai and the Flying Gunman charged into the mall,

the East City Branch immediately dispatched a Processor to provide support and evacuate the local population.

Inside the mall, Li Yelai uttered that obscure and ancient language, which was the Void Beast Language.

The Flying Gunman, who was eagerly awaiting Li Yelai to fall into his trap, suddenly felt a terrible sense of danger approaching!

With vast experience as a merchant guard, a Scavenger, a settlement guardian, and even time spent mining in the Lava Mine City, he had encountered Spiritual Ability Users, Abnormalities, and Void Realm Creatures in battle...

This gave him superior combat experience and a sharp sense for danger.

Thus, the moment the sense of danger struck, he decisively dodged to the left, while simultaneously triggering a "line explosion"!

Hundreds of Spiritual Power Threads exploded at once, powerful enough to shred a Third Awakening Spiritual Barrier!

In an instant, hundreds of crimson flames burst forth, resembling an unfurling wing of fire, and walls and pillars entwined with Spiritual Power Threads shattered noisily. With one move, the Flying Gunman destroyed nearly half the mall.

Such is the Divine Protection Path, the longer the preparation time, the harder it is to deal with!

However, within that unfolding flame, a huge black-furred tiger’s head charged out through the fire.

The fierce explosion left its fur in disarray, looking quite ragged. Multiple line explosions shredded the Mountain King Avatar’s Spiritual Barrier, but it only served to arouse its ferocity. Bearing the pain of the blast, it viciously bit down on the Flying Gunman’s right hand, which had triggered the "line explosion".

"Crack!"

The tiger’s teeth, like a farmer’s knife, cleanly severed the hand bone in the Flying Gunman’s right arm. With one strong yank, it tore off the limb.

Ha ha ha ha, the Flying Gunman had chopped off the arm of a Spirit Extinguisher, could he ever have imagined experiencing the same pain!

No, this was just the beginning!

"Ah ah ah!" An extreme, agonizing tearing sensation drove the Flying Gunman completely mad. But he was still quite the character, despite not knowing how such an Extraordinary Creature appeared, he quickly retaliated.

Unable to control his throwing spears from a distance, the Flying Gunman grabbed one with his left hand and stabbed directly at the face of the Mountain King Avatar.

The terrifying Anti-Spiritual Effect took hold, causing the Mountain King Avatar’s body to falter and fade away.

But the attack was far from over, for Li Yelai once again invoked the Void Beast Language.

"Claw!"

The Mountain King Avatar was driven once again, its Sharp tiger claws suddenly slamming towards the Flying Gunman’s back. Equally matched in the Third Awakening, barriers could cancel each other out; if caught, the Flying Gunman was certain to die.

But the Flying Gunman again twisted his left hand, desperately detonating the majority of the remaining Spiritual Power Threads.

This trap was meant for Li Yelai, the dense network of threads meant to prevent him from getting close, while allowing the gunman to shoot from a safe distance.

But now, to save his life, he was forced to trigger most of his trap.

And the Mountain King Avatar, already severely wounded by the Anti-Spiritual Effect, could not withstand the dense line explosions. Its outstretched claws only grazed the Flying Gunman’s back, leaving three deep scratches, before vanishing with a cry that sounded like whimpering and a low growl.

It was too injured; it began to resist Li Yelai’s subsequent summoning calls. It couldn’t be driven any further for the time being.

But it had been enough; the Mountain King Avatar had cleared a large amount of traps for Li Yelai.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt exerted its ability, Divine Speed Thunder Stepping!

Like a bolt of lightning, it pounced directly towards the Flying Gunman, the few remaining Spiritual Power Threads exploding along the way, but they were completely unable to harm Li Yelai’s Spiritual Barrier.

In an instant, Li Yelai had his mount rush the gunman, and the Red Dragon Spear shot out violently!

Facing such an onslaught, the severely injured Flying Gunman panicked, defending with his spear while performing Aerial Stepping to evade.

Three throwing spears instantly crisscrossed in front of him, accurately locking the long spear’s head, preventing Li Yelai’s deadly strike.

The other two spears then stabbed from above and below, obviously intending to take advantage of Li Yelai’s engaged weapon and strike at him directly.

This is the specialty of Divine Protection, the ability to control weapons to strike from extremely tricky positions that normal people can’t launch attacks from multiple angles at once.

However, Li Yelai extended his left hand to deflect the swiftly approaching spear towards his chest, while his right hand holding the Red Dragon Spear rotated and twisted. The spear that had caught the hook of the spearhead also turned with it,

quickly scraping past the Flying Gunman’s left thigh.

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Reptile Turn!

Like a crocodile’s death roll, the Flying Gunman’s own throwing spear mercilessly tore the flesh from his thigh. That powerful Anti-Spiritual Power Weapon ultimately turned against the gunman himself.

At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Colt beneath Li Yelai raised its hooves, and with a burst of thunder, trampled the spear coming from below into the ground.

Almost instantaneously, all of the Flying Gunman’s throwing spears were restrained.

Had there been distance, the Flying Gunman could have controlled the spears to break free and continue attacking.

But now, Li Yelai was right in front of him!

There was neither the opportunity nor the time.

This wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair, he had set so many traps, so why had they been foiled by that Extraordinary Creature?

The Flying Gunman felt a surge of unbearable frustration.

Ignoring his wounded leg, he tried to perform Aerial Stepping to widen the gap, even the slightest distance would give him a chance to counterattack.

But it was impossible to dodge!

He was facing a Cavalryman, how could he be faster than the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt?
