Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 965: Chapter 459_2

From a certain perspective, the conversation here indeed won’t be known by the outside world.

Just now, was some presence in the tomb trying to communicate with me through the residual sound avatar?

But Li Yelai acted too quickly, so much that he couldn’t even finish his words before being taken out instantly.

That is a possibility.

But it could also be a probe by the Church, after all, the Jile Sect obtained all the permissions from the Gravekeeper.

Could it be… that they’re imitating this sound to test Li Yelai?

Intending to deceive Li Yelai’s purpose or other thoughts.

Li Yelai quickly pondered the possibilities.

Simultaneously keeping some distance, waiting for the next residual sound avatar to appear.

After more than ten minutes, a new residual sound avatar quickly emerged near the stele.

This time, what appeared was a knight wearing slender golden armor, holding a sickle with a long handle in one hand and a sword in the other. A flowing red cloak swayed behind him.

Still the Sixth Sense strength, but indeed felt stronger to Li Yelai!

Li Yelai raised the long spear and tried to speak, “You…”

Before he finished speaking, the knight in the distance launched an attack, the sickle in his hand instantly danced, slashing out a gold-glowing disc.

The disc spun rapidly, resembling a sharp circular saw, ejecting instantly.

Damn it!

Li Yelai cursed inwardly, thinking he was truly foolish to be deceived by this kind of thing.

Is there any conversation here? Wouldn’t this be some kind of psychological warfare played in this challenge?

Causing the challenger to mistakenly believe they’ve discovered a secret, leading to hesitation when making a move.

With the long spear in hand, Dragon Shadow emerged, and Dragon Claw stretched out, crushing that disc directly.

However, more discs appeared in the distant sky, transforming into dangerous discs slashing toward Li Yelai.

Perhaps to suppress Li Yelai’s speed and explosive power, the knight distanced himself instantly upon appearing, unleashing more discs.

Meanwhile, the knight raised the long sword high in his hand.

Ten light spheres emerged, and in the next instant, dense light spears burst out from each light sphere.

Like a close-in weapon system, conducting a barrage on Li Yelai!

This is the ability of the Divine Protection Path, namely Circular Blade and Holy Light Chain Attack!

The former is quite powerful and extremely sharp; the latter has an extremely fast attack speed, capable of firepower coverage!

Clearly, it’s a suppression aimed at Li Yelai’s explosive power, intending to use ranged output and decent mobility to suppress and kite Li Yelai.

Li Yelai frowned upon seeing this.

If it were a usual day, facing such an enemy playing long-range, Li Yelai would activate Mimicry Dragon Soul and engage in a heated duel with the opponent.

But residual sound avatars are unaffected by spiritual attacks. The Dragon Soul is ineffective here.

Thus, Li Yelai chose to activate Mythical Mimicry, Kunpeng!

Huge golden wings unfolded behind him.

With a gentle flap of the golden wings, Li Yelai instantly ascended to the sky.

Lines of fire followed Li Yelai’s rapid ascent, but no matter how they adjusted their direction, they couldn’t hit the swiftly moving Li Yelai.

At this time, Li Yelai heard the voice again.

“Respond with caution, I can only communicate with you, can’t make the heroic resonance go easy,” the voice sounded neither male nor female, ethereal and uncertain.

Li Yelai frowned, continuing to evade attacks, spiraling and diving like a fighter jet in the sky.

During the gaps in dodging attacks, Li Yelai activated Blood God Seven-layered Shield, layers of blood-colored petals unfolded, forming a thick shield wall, resisting the dense firepower raining down.

Cute Star Sky Collision, juvenile version!

This move directly slammed the golden knight.

Simultaneously, Li Yelai asked, “Who are you?”

After getting close to the golden armored knight, unable to lift the sickle in time, Li Yelai’s long spear had already descended.

At this distance, the golden knight couldn’t safely activate abilities anymore.

Only able to engage in close combat with Li Yelai, decisively dropping the sickle.

The long sword danced in the hand, obviously a skilled two-handed sword user.

But… this still couldn’t avoid being overwhelmed by Li Yelai’s physical power!

When both sides’ skills don’t have a huge gap, Li Yelai, who is stronger and faster.

Gained the advantage the moment weapons collided.

Long spear danced like the wind, strongly suppressing the golden knight.

Forcing him to busy parrying, every heavy strike from Li Yelai could break his offensive and force him back a step. Despite retreating over ten steps, he couldn’t escape Li Yelai’s suppression.

In their fierce engagement, an ethereal voice came from the knight’s helmet, “I am the Gravekeeper, also the Protector of Flame…”

Gravekeeper? Li Yelai’s attack didn’t pause, but his eyebrows under the faceplate furrowed.

According to the Jile Sect’s intelligence, it was due to a betrayal among the Gravekeepers that led to the complete downfall of Ming Xia Civilization’s legacy into Jile Sect’s hands.

Indirectly causing this civilization’s decline, otherwise, acquiring these legacies would make humanity here even stronger.

“You dare mock the Divine Chosen? Is it Fallen Wish making you do this? I will demand an explanation from her!” Li Yelai chose not to trust but to intimidate as the Divine Chosen.

Simultaneously, the spear ear of the long spear caught the knight’s two-handed sword, forcefully disarming him.

Then, twisting their body to swing the spear, heavily slapped the knight’s shoulder. Under immense force, the knight’s armor twisted instantly, sending his body flying more than ten meters.

After getting up, the knight attacked again, only to be kicked away by Li Yelai.

“I am not a traitor, this is my tomb… and I am the Gravekeeper of Ming Xia Civilization.”

This made Li Yelai’s expression change, his tomb.

Wouldn’t the one talking with him now be the Nameless King?

Moreover, what does “before I died” mean?

Is this king already dead? Able to communicate with him in this way?

Or, is it… Mechanical Soul?

“I don’t like this kind of joke. Will you continue to offend the Divine Chosen?” Li Yelai kept his actions relentless, the long spear descending, severing the knight’s arm.

“I know you’re cautious, but please don’t worry. I connect to all the remaining facilities in both spaces. I know your true identity.”

The knight struggled frantically, but a certain laughter came from the helmet, “The great existence feared by all humanity’s enemies, Ninth Generation Human Champion!”

Li Yelai remained unmoved, the long spear descended, pinning the knight to the ground.

“Your information is outdated, I have ventured into Chaos, about to become the Divine Chosen, not the Champion….”

“I know, but I also saw… your companions using residual sound avatars to pass information to the human strongmen on the third layer…”

Li Yelai’s mind sank slightly, that is indeed the method Liu Yun and the others used to convey information.

Recorded on the second layer of the ruins, transmitting intelligence to Captain Yang Chen and them through residual sound avatars.

“Moreover, I can discern… Even if you’re the Divine Chosen, you still have humanity’s interests at heart.” The knight’s breath began to weaken, and upon detecting failure against the challenger, it seemed the stele needed to replace the next residual sound avatar.

“Looks like this heroic resonance can’t hold out, you’re really strong. We’ll have to wait for the next wave to continue chatting; remember, don’t hold back or get distracted.”

“Also, rest assured. They don’t know of my existence; over the years, I’ve never intervened.”

The knight’s body began to disintegrate, yet divulging a lot of information.

He seemed to have existed for a long time, but sat idly while Jile’s corruption and erosion occurred. Or rather… he was powerless to change anything, only able to watch it happen.
