Chapter 298: Chapter 140: Funeral

Ben Lei’s body was completely twisted, and muscles inside rapidly proliferated, even swelling so much they broke through his skin.

Immediately afterward, that tough, deep red musculature covered his entire body, transforming into a horrifying, flesh-and-blood armor.

He grew tusks and claws, and images of humans emerged on his fleshly body, eerie and terrifying.

He had finally become the very thing he despised and hated the most.

He was no longer a human but a pitiful sufferer, a detestable monster!

Yet, Ben Lei didn’t care at all. His consciousness had degenerated, as if returning to the memories of him leading the Rangers in killing human enemies.

Seeing Li Yelai in front of him was like seeing the dangerous, powerful foes he had faced with his teammates!

He cried out, roaring, "Rangers, charge!"

He would, along with his teammates, once again annihilate the enemies of mankind!

Watching the completely distorted Ben Lei, Li Yelai suppressed the sorrow in his heart and summoned up a fighting spirit capable of igniting everything.

At this point, nothing could be salvaged... so it was time to give him a send-off.

Come, Ben Lei, fight! Offer the Rangers one last battle!

"Mountain King!"

Obscure words resounded.

A huge black shadow appeared behind Li Yelai, and the Mountain King Avatar acted boldly, materializing a massive tiger claw in an instant and smashing it down on Ben Lei.

The next second, the floor of ward 420 was completely blown apart.

With a powerful and forceful strike, the Mountain King Avatar smashed through the floor, thrusting Ben Lei down to the second level.

At the same time, shadows appeared around them, other members like Huang Tu and Heavy Knight coming to aid.

When Li Yelai shouted out his identity, they knew the battle had commenced and immediately threw their support.

Heavy Knight held dual hammers, leaping down to strike directly at Ben Lei. True Martial Path, Charging Heavy Strike!

The principle of this path was, the longer the charge, the greater the force of the attack.

Heavy Knight had been charging up since Li Yelai entered the room.

Now this hammer strike was her strongest attack!

Even a Fourth Awakening like Ben Lei had to be careful!

Meanwhile, Huang Tu clenched his fist and the ground’s debris swiftly gathered, forming a more than three-meter-tall stone giant, raising a basin-sized fist and smashing it at Ben Lei amidst the ruins.

At the same time, Heavy Knight plummeted from the sky, her dual hammers striking towards the neck of Ben Lei, wrapped in muscle, intending to shatter his skull as he rose.

"Thump!"

However, the stone fist that struck Ben Lei shattered on impact.

Among the falling debris, Ben Lei was unharmed, his pupils even bursting with golden light.

And Heavy Knight’s Charging Heavy Strike, upon hitting Ben Lei, emitted a metallic roar. It couldn’t smash Ben Lei’s skull; at the last moment, he raised his hand to block.

Instead, the powerful recoil caused Heavy Knight’s palms to tear, and a strong force surged into her body, turning her pretty face pale, and she spat out blood, quickly retreating after swallowing it.

"It’s the Vajra Body and Inner Strength!" Huang Tu quickly spoke, his tone full of caution.

The True Martial Path already provided the strongest physique, but the Vajra Body enhanced his physical hardness even further.

At the least among his peers, he was impervious to blades and spears, truly unbreakable!

He didn’t even need to use weapons; his body had become a weapon. Barehanded, he could withstand Spiritual Ability Equipment!

After the transformation, his physique was even more robust!

The attack from the Stone Fist was like light rain falling, causing no harm.

And Heavy Knight’s Charging Attack was actually repelled by Ben Lei’s reactive force.

Ben Lei was originally a highly experienced Processor, even able to trigger Inner Strength within an enemy’s body upon defending.

Heavy Knight attacked, but she herself was severely injured.

"Be careful, his defensive power is extremely strong, avoid close combat!" Huang Tu shouted.

Facing an enemy adept in close combat, they needed to leverage their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Among the present Processors, only she was a Fourth Awakening, and even her attacks couldn’t break through the Vajra Body, so they would have to employ delay tactics.

The next second, Huang Tu caught a glimpse of Li Yelai lifting his long spear and leaping forth.

Huang Tu felt a surge of alarm; everyone knew Ben Lei’s defense was extremely strong, and yet the Night General was engaging in close combat?

Li Yelai, however, danced single-handedly with the Azure Dragon Halberd, performing the Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Elephant Step!

The air seemed to tear apart, emitting a piercing whistling sound. His attack concentrated at one point, seemingly tearing through any obstacles.

Ben Lei looked up, laughing wildly as he punched out.

His fist collided with Li Yelai’s long spear in midair, producing a deafening boom.

The sound, like metal slicing through metal, was piercing enough to make one’s heart tremble.

Their forces met in midair, creating a powerful shockwave that instantly scattered the surrounding debris.

After the impact, both Li Yelai and Ben Lei stepped back. Li Yelai was tossed by the immense force, crashing heavily against a wall, the wall cracked, and plaster splashed, hiding his figure. But Ben Lei merely retreated a few steps, his body as stable as a mountain.

In terms of power, it seemed Ben Lei had the upper edge.

However, those surrounding Ben Lei soon focused on his right arm, where the defense of his Vajra Body seemed breached, that indestructible musculature vividly marked with gruesome bloodstains.

Amid the debris and plaster dust, Li Yelai slowly stood up, his Azure Dragon Halberd still firmly in his hand. Despite the powerful force of that strike, it hadn’t been knocked out of his hand. Those terrifying Overlord’s Double Pupils, however, were fixedly staring at Ben Lei.

Yes, with Weakness Perception before him, under the Overlord’s Double Pupils, there are no absolute defenses!

The Vajra Body was broken by Weakness Breakthrough!
