Chapter 413: Chapter 196: Catastrophe Strikes!

No tender sentiments were spared as the long spear directly shattered Mei Wu’s skull.

The human traitor who had haunted the dreams of countless creatures was gone.

Her shadow was absorbed by Li Yelai, transformed into a new member of the Shadow Army.

And her soul arrived in the Mist Space.

In this Mist Space, there were several angels and knights she knew well, all previously slain by the hand of Li Yelai, Forbidden Zone Creatures and Forbidden Zone Humans.

At this moment, these angels no longer looked handsome or beautiful but had turned into grotesque beings.

Some were large eyeballs with wings, others were rings made of feathers, covered in sinister-looking eyes.

Ferocious and terrifying, that was the angels’ truest form.

In contrast, Mei Wu retained her human form.

And these angels, now in their true forms, screamed in terror.

They were supposed to be immortal beings, merely banished to the Void Realm after death.

But now, they all sensed deadly danger! They had not returned to the depths of the Void Realm; instead, they were dragged into this space, before some dreadful entity!

They wailed, pleaded, and resisted, but everything was in vain.

Innumerable pitch-black tentacles stretched out from the mist, dragging them all into its depths.

Mei Wu was also entangled by the dark tentacles, looking at the mist in horror, her eyes lit up with a white glow, as if she glimpsed some invisible entity, issuing a mad and terrified scream.

"Time... Worm!" She cried out these incomprehensible words as her body rapidly mutated, expanded, twisted, and dissolved.

This was the cost of her peering into something, the already distorted her, mutated even further.

But it did nothing to stop her fate; she was still pulled deep into the mist.

Soon, nothing could be heard from the depths of the mist but the horrifying sounds of chewing.

Li Yelai, who was looting corpses in the Physical World, couldn’t help but sneer at this scene.

This was the end of a human traitor!

Return?

Die already!

But what exactly is a Time Worm?

At the same time, Li Yelai also saw a pitch-black tentacle extending from the mist, unveiling a new blank mask.

A new Face!

Li Yelai couldn’t help but inwardly criticize, "Truly heartless!"

He knew that the closer he got to the end, the harder it was to obtain new Faces, requiring more sacrifices.

But this time, after killing the Five Senses strong Mei Wu and at least five Four Awakenings angels, only one was given?

What would he need to offer for the next Face?

The Sixth Sense? Or even higher? Surely he wouldn’t be expected to slay an Overlord?

As he internally mocked Mr. Shadow, Li Yelai didn’t delay in his actions, quickly looting Mei Wu’s corpse.

Indeed, Mei Wu was a rare beauty in life, but now, her body was smashed, not to mention alluring—she didn’t even have a head.

However, she truly had some good items on her.

Li Yelai took the bracelet with green leaves from her wrist.

Nine green leaves, three of which had already been damaged.

Mind you, whether it was the Super Dragon Thunder, Dharma Phase Armor Removal, or Evil Star Falling (Cute Star Sky Collision), each was powerful enough to kill a Five Senses strong person.

It was this bracelet that blocked three fatal attacks for Mei Wu.

Otherwise, Li Yelai could have accomplished his mission much earlier.

Also, with her curse, she was never short of suitors, like Gretwin, so it was normal she had good items.

If it weren’t for the sudden assassination, Mei Wu might have brought some troublesome Spiritual Ability Equipment or even Taboo Items.

She lost because she never imagined someone would ignore her charm, not even allowing her to prepare Battle Armor.

If she had been fully prepared, Li Yelai might not have been able to defeat her.

Of course, that could also mean even more bountiful loot for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai put the green leaf bracelet on his wrist.

After injecting a small amount of Spiritual Energy into it, he lifted his arm and a green leaf floated out from the bracelet, placing itself in front of him.

Excellent, simple to use. Just lift an arm and inject Spiritual Energy to defend.

But the consumption of Spiritual Energy was significant, it couldn’t be used continuously.

Next, he picked up the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear.

This spear was about thirty percent heavier than the Azure Dragon Halberd, but its quality far surpassed it.

Li Yelai originally thought it contained a projection like the Mountain Lord, but after using it, he realized that Golden Dragon was the ability of this Spiritual Ability Equipment, currently unknown, likely Wanxiang.

With Li Yelai’s current level of Spiritual Energy, he couldn’t use such a high-level ability; it would immediately cause distortion.

However, even without the ability, the spear was still a powerful weapon.

All were treasures.

Now, they all belonged to Li!

With the loot secured, Li Yelai spoke in Virtual Realm Beast Language, "Mountain Lord, come here!"

The next second, a black, four-eyed tiger emerged from beneath nearby ruins.

Carrying the broken Azure Dragon Halberd in its mouth, it swiftly approached Li Yelai’s side.

It, too, was covered in scars, whimpering softly like a kitten in response to Li Yelai’s call.

If the Mountain Lord’s actual self saw this, it would probably die of shame on the spot.

The Azure Dragon Halberd was now useless, so Li Yelai had the Mountain King Avatar enter the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear.

Afterward, he mounted the Heavenly Meteor Qilin.

Old Horse Number Two had a wing penetrated, but it wasn’t fatal, the worst was a reduction in speed.
