Chapter 99: Chapter 45 You Must Meet Strong Enemies!_2

Competing in strength? Li Yelai’s power now rivals that of a Third Awakening True Martial!

How could a Spiritual Ability User who hasn’t even mastered the techniques of the Spiritual Barrier hope to compete?

But Li Yelai had no time to rejoice in his newfound power; instead, he quickly swung his long spear, knocking down all the Scavengers who surrounded him.

He took immediate steps to pursue them, charging toward the back door.

But then he heard the sound of the air breaking overhead, and instinctively felt that the attacker was formidable.

So, he raised his spear across to block, only to feel a Black Shadow bypass his defense, aiming for his head.

Li Yelai immediately dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the strike, even feeling the sharp point brush past his hair.

That was close, almost got his head blown off!

Li Yelai then took a step back, "A scythe, huh? I didn’t expect an expert!"

At that moment, the figure of the attacker finally emerged.

It was none other than the Scarred Woman who had previously told Li Yelai to leave her.

Currently, she was swinging the scythe, abruptly appearing in front of the backdoor.

At present, it was unclear whether it was due to the interference of the Spiritual Eyes Path or the optical invisibility of the Netherworld Path.

"Lucky you, I didn’t smash your head." The Scarred Woman spoke with relief, although her attack had shown no mercy.

No wonder he couldn’t block it earlier; the scythe was a weapon that couldn’t be blocked, only dodged. Otherwise, like just now, the Meteor Hammer would circle around the defense and heavily strike the defender.

Behind her, two more Scavengers holding weapons appeared.

The lights around them flickered momentarily.

Clearly, they were also Spiritual Ability Users, although not much different from a female bodyguard. Likely, they had only become Spiritual Ability Users recently. But that Scarred Woman had real skill.

"Have you considered the consequences?" Li Yelai frowned deeply, including the Scarred Woman and the two behind her.

This Red Dart Commerce already had five Spiritual Ability Users.

Were these the Wild Spirit Ability Users that had appeared because of the previous incident?

"We didn’t want to reveal ourselves, but you defeated her in one move, and we couldn’t let you continue your pursuit," the Scarred Woman chuckled. "How about making it easy for us and let us leave safely? When we rise again with those luck-bringing Gold Coins, we surely won’t forget you."

"So confident, huh? You think you can escape Giant City just because you dodged me?" Li Yelai raised his Red Dragon Spear again, "From today on, there will be no Red Dart Commerce!"

An open attack on a Processor, Giant City will no longer tolerate the existence of Red Dart Commerce.

But the Scarred Woman seemed unconcerned, "It’s a pity, took a lot of effort to get it. But soon, we will form a stronger force in the wilderness."

As she finished speaking, the two Wild Spirit Ability Users behind her charged at Li Yelai all at once.

Behind Li Yelai, those Scavengers controlled by some force surged forward, weapons in hand.

Li Yelai sighed, and spoke into the communicator, "Branch, get some more ambulances ready..."

Then, he wiped his hand across his face.

Champion Marquis Face!

"Thunder!"

The Shadow Army appeared to his left and right, transforming into Heavy Cavalry!

If he could penetrate battle formations, he could naturally crush the enemies before him!

Meanwhile, as Li Yelai drew out his Red Dragon Spear, at the West City Branch, groups of Processors and several military armored vehicles had already flooded into the Commerce’s plant.

Those Scavengers from the Commerce were astounded, not daring to resist and readily surrendered.

However, many Scavengers surprisingly raised their weapons right in front of everyone, attacking the Special Combatants and Processors.

Meanwhile, this also exposed many Wild Spirit Ability Users; they were mixed in with those resisting Scavengers, hastily dealing with the Processors.

Wild Spirit Ability Users appearing was within the expectations of West City Branch, hence, when they learned that a Night General had identified a Spirit Ability User.

West City Branch said it was expected.

On discovering a second Spirit Ability User, they said it was within acceptable limits.

But as nearly ten Wild Spirit Ability Users appeared,

West City Branch exclaimed, "Damn it!"

Fortunately, those Spiritual Ability Users were thrown out like discarded pieces, causing no real harm, but still drew most of the attention from the Processors.

As the external fight intensified, Xu Shi felt a chill. Those were his people, now controlled to attack the authorities.

"What have you done? Didn’t you say you could take Red Dart Commerce to the next level?" Xu Shi asked anxiously, looking at the male bodyguard beside him, "That’s why I risked hiring those Spiritual Ability Users, yet you brought them into Giant City and controlled them to fight against the authorities. If you want to die, don’t drag me into it! Why not sell directly to the authorities? We could still connect with them, maybe even become an officially recognized Commerce!"

But the male bodyguard handed a treasure box to Xu Shi, "Those are expendable. It doesn’t matter if Red Dart Commerce is gone. With these things, you’ll soon accumulate wealth and build an even larger Commerce."

"Now, take the box, get in the car, and run! Use our channels to escape Giant City!"

"What about you?" Xu Shi asked, stunned.

"I? I naturally went to hold them off for you." the male bodyguard said with a light chuckle, "Let’s go!"

As if magic had blossomed in Xu Shi’s mind, he obediently got into the driver’s seat and placed the treasure box on the passenger side.

Then he floored the accelerator, and an off-road vehicle burst out of the factory.

A Processor saw this scene and whispered sharply, "It’s Xu Shi! He has the greed treasure box!"

"Block him!"

Two Processors directly chased after Xu Shi.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the male bodyguard just smiled, took another treasure box, and safely placed it in the back seat of the vehicle.

Then, he got into an armored vehicle and drove towards the secret exit he had already prepared.

A scapegoat, who isn’t a scapegoat?

Those Scavengers are, those Wild Spirit Ability Users are, even Xu Shi himself is.

Only he could laugh last.

With this treasure box, who still cares about the Red Dart Commerce?

As he sped past the factory, the windows high above suddenly shattered...

...

On the other side, Scarred Woman’s heart trembled violently as she quickly retreated, as if she had seen a monster.

Because, among the crowd, when Li Yelai swapped to a certain Face, the shadow of a Cavalry appeared beside him, and then he bodily slammed into the nearby Scavengers.

His speed wasn’t particularly fast, yet he sent all the surrounding Scavengers flying.

As he stopped his charge, his long spear swayed like a whip, and a sweeping strike sent the gathering Scavengers flying, their mouths spurting blood, unable to rise again.

Then, the long spear, like a Spirit Snake Emerges, directly pierced through the shoulder of a Wild Spirit Ability User.

The next moment, Li Yelai single-handedly lifted the spear, dramatically smashed the Ability User onto the ground.

The Ability User hit the ground headfirst, his teeth scattering, plunging into deep unconsciousness.

The next second, Li Yelai pulled out the Red Dragon Spear, his empty left hand grabbing one end of the spear, his hands exerting force, the over two-meter-long Red Dragon Spear bent like a bow in his hands, then suddenly snapped forward.

The long spear instantly swung out, striking another ax-wielding Wild Spirit Ability User approaching, sending him flying meters away, and smashing heavily into a wall, twitching twice before passing out.

In virtually an instant, he broke through the encirclement. In under ten seconds, he had knocked out over thirty people, including two Spirit Ability Users.

How could Scarred Woman not fear when she saw Li Yelai’s gaze turning toward her?

The fear in Scarred Woman’s heart grew stronger, despite being a Second Awakening Spirit Ability User, she lacked the courage to confront him.

Thus, she immediately used Aerial Stepping to escape toward the third floor of the factory, aiming to flee through a window there.

But it was too slow!

"Wind!" With a roar from Li Yelai, his speed abruptly increased.

Also employing Aerial Stepping, it took just a step for him to appear in front of Scarred Woman.

Scarred Woman panicked, her scythe swinging rapidly while she used her ability to conceal herself, trying to create distance to elude Li Yelai.

But Li Yelai still held the spear in one hand, the spear’s tip rapidly shaking as he continuously stabbed, as if striking dozens of times simultaneously.

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes, Swarm of Bees!

The concealed form of Scarred Woman was directly forced out, only able to swing her scythe rapidly to defend and attack, yet unable to touch the Red Dragon Spear even once.

Until a ’snap’

The spear ear of the Red Dragon Spear hooked onto the chain of the scythe.

Li Yelai harshly yanked, and the scythe slipped out of Scarred Woman’s hands.

Then, Single-handed Eighteen Strokes, Spirit Snake Emerges!

He pierced through Scarred Woman’s shoulder and the window behind her.

Seeing Scarred Woman lose consciousness, falling toward the ground.

Li Yelai used Aerial Stepping to advance, reached out to grab Scarred Woman’s arms, landing on the ground.

And just as he landed, he saw an armored vehicle speeding towards them.

Looking inside the armored vehicle at the shocked face of the male bodyguard.

Li Yelai understood then.

You Must Meet Strong Enemies, huh?

Good encounter indeed!
