Chapter 228: Chapter 107: Let’s See Who Can Live Longer_2

However, just as the rocks swept swiftly past Li Yelai, two fierce shadows pounced out from behind the rocks.

Those were Hunting Insects!

They hid behind the rocks, concealing both their forms and breath. At this moment, they launched a lethal two-stage pursuit attack!

Li Yelai’s heart sank. Even with "Swift as the Wind" now in effect, dodging this sudden ambush proved difficult.

His only option was to stab with his long spear at full power—the Three-pointed Two-edged spear shot out like an Abyss Dragon, piercing through the chest of the first Hunting Insect.

But the Hunting Insect, with its four arms clasped together, didn’t counter-attack at the threshold of death. Instead, it gripped Li Yelai’s Three-pointed Two-edged spear tenaciously. Seizing the opportunity, the second Hunting Insect leaped onto Li Yelai’s back.

Its sharp claws and tail spike couldn’t tear through Li Yelai’s Abyss Dragon Scale or Spiritual Armor, but the two heavy bodies together succeeded in slowing Li Yelai down,

forcing his body downward, closer to the ground.

Li Yelai shook his right-handed long spear, then he executed a Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Reptile Turn!

The bladed edge of the Three-pointed Two-edged spear whirled within the first Hunting Insect’s inner body, completely dismantling its vitality.

Simultaneously, Li Yelai’s left hand transformed into a claw, gripping the neck of the second Hunting Insect. His arm muscles bulged.

The next second, he brutally yanked out the creature’s windpipe!

But even in death, both Hunting Insects did not relent their grip.

Even in death, they dragged Li Yelai along as if they were companions unwilling to part, binding Li Yelai’s body tightly and slowing down his speed.

When the War Worm’s heavy arm slammed down,

Li Yelai understood their plan.

The War Worm, with its immense strength, was hurling rocks from a distance, aiming for Li Yelai while two Hunting Insects concealed within them.

To slow Li Yelai down,

so the War Worm could catch up to him and deliver a thunderous strike!

"Really fucking clever!" Li Yelai roared, "Mountain!"

If he couldn’t avoid the attack, then he would use the strongest defense at his disposal to withstand it!

As the War Worm’s arm smashed down, an array of phantom Heavy Armor Shield Guards emerged beside Li Yelai, forming a Shield Formation in front of the War Worm’s limb.

The next second, Li Yelai felt a massive force hit him. The Shield Formation was completely scattered, half of the Armored Soldiers vanished, and he himself was flung through the air.

He slammed heavily into a car on the roadside and, carried by the inertia, crashed into a nearby office building. After shattering the tempered glass and punching through a wall, Li Yelai finally came to a stop.

"Cough cough!" Li Yelai spat out a mouthful of blood and then, struggling, rose from the rubble, discarding the corpses of the Hunting Insects on his body.

Thankfully, his defensive power was strong and the Hunting Insect carcasses provided cushioning; otherwise, that hit would have smashed his body to pieces.

But even so, Li Yelai felt a sense of stuffiness in his chest. He had definitely suffered some internal injuries.

Then, a tremendous vibration gripped the area. The three rooms around Li Yelai instantly shattered.

The War Worm’s colossal body crashed into the building, while also blocking Li Yelai’s escape route.

This was the tactic of the War Worm, or rather, the Insect Swarm.

Because in the complex and narrow rooms, Li Yelai’s speed advantage was nullified. Whether breaking through walls or smashing glass, it would cause a moment’s delay for Li Yelai.

He wouldn’t be able to dodge the War Worm’s imminent attacks!

It could fail countless times, but Li Yelai could only make one mistake. One hesitation would decide life or death!

But Li Yelai didn’t choose to break through the wall to escape; instead, as he spat out blood, he swiftly wiped his face.

Then he wielded his long spear, not retreating but advancing.

As the War Worm reached out to attack, Li Yelai had already invaded its space.

Holding the Three-pointed Two-edged spear, he stabbed directly at the War Worm’s solid chest plate, executing a Single-handed Eighteen Pokes·Rhino Attack!

This time, the long spear penetrated the War Worm’s shell with a crack.

The War Worm’s thickest armor now displayed several large fissures!

This was the Weakness Perception! Li Yelai had already employed the Overlord Face, Heavy Eyes Appear!

With that strike, he practically opened a can in the War Worm.

The War Worm reacted with fury and desperation, reaching for Li Yelai, but Li Yelai leaped onto its hefty arm.

His long spear left a trail of sparks, moving along the limb up to the shoulder of the War Worm.

Was he aiming for the War Worm’s head or planning to flee the building?

The War Worm violently crashed into the building, slamming Li Yelai, now at its shoulder, back into the room.

The collision caused blood to seep from Li Yelai’s mouth and nose.

Yet Li Yelai was undeterred, his long spear smashing a nearby column to pieces.

Then, with a kick, he sent a chunk of rock the size of a human head flying.

The rock wasn’t meant for attacking the War Worm, as in truth, unless Li Yelai launched a direct attack, the Spiritual Barrier would deflect other assaults.

But Li Yelai didn’t hesitate, dodging the War Worm’s attacks as he kicked out chunks of rock multiple times.

The shards tore through the air towards a certain column in the building.

This confused the War Worm, but it didn’t stop its onslaught against Li Yelai.

Its six arms struck rapidly, little by little forcing Li Yelai into a dead end.

Just one more time, one more hit!

The War Worm grinned viciously, for just one more opportunity to land a hit and Li Yelai would no longer have the strength to counter!

However, it suddenly heard strange sounds.

’Creak,’ ’Crack’—

Eerie noises emanated from the building, growing denser and more grating.
