Chapter 10 Have you ever seen this kind of gunsmanship that descends from the sky?
Years later, facing a Calamity that could topple Giant City,
everyone present would remember that evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun was ultimately hidden by the high walls of Giant City, the shadows eroding the remaining sunlight, casting Giant City completely into night.
Under the dim light and shadow, they faced a monster akin to a natural enemy.
Overwhelmed by instinctive fear, everyone was petrified, not daring to make a sound.
They could only watch, helplessly, as the monster approached the girl step by step, opening its gaping maw as if to swallow her whole.
But in this desperate situation, he burst forth with a battle intent so fierce it startled the monster as if thousands of troops had arrived on the scene.
He forcibly diverted the monster's attention away from the girl.
With his terrifying Heavy Pupil, he looked down at the monster and uttered heart-piercing words.
In that moment, no one knew what he was thinking, only the monster's roar echoed through the building!
Then, the crimson steel knife transformed into a streak of light and shadow, plunging towards him!
That person was naturally Li Yelai, just like everyone else present.
When facing a monstrous foe, he too felt fear, his body stiffening.
The monster, summoned by special means from the Void Realm, was even more dangerous than other Awakened Sufferers and a natural enemy of life in the Physical World.
But compared to others, Li Yelai was in a much better situation.
Previously thinking the task was over, Li Yelai had reached the room's door to leave the gruesome scene that disgusted him.
He just needed to step out, and he could leave the room.
Compared to others, he had a greater chance of escape.
But at that moment, he hesitated.
He knew that if he also left,
without another Spiritual Ability User, everyone here would likely be killed by the monster.
At least Cheese, who was already face-to-face with the monster, couldn't escape this fate.
In truth, Li Yelai had only known Cheese for two days and wasn't very familiar with this beautiful senior.
Let alone the others he had met just today.
Run!
In such a situation, even if he ran, no one would blame him. He could survive…
But remembering the girl he couldn't save the day before, and Cheese and others who had just boasted to him, Li Yelai fell silent again.
Was he really going to flee? Abandon everything and escape in panic?
Allowing this inhuman monster to inflict more casualties in the city before reinforcements arrived?
Fight! They weren't without the strength to fight! They were merely intimidated by instinctive fear. If they suppressed this fear and coordinated their actions, they could definitely defeat the monster!
But… he might die.
The monster was too fast and armed with Spiritual Ability Equipment. Hadn't Starfire's arm been severed instantly?
And himself… could he really survive the first attack?
Could he hold out until the others reacted and helped?
Li Yelai was briefly torn between two choices.
But in the next instant, he decisively smeared something on his face!
Activated his ability, Overlord Face!
Li Yelai smiled wryly to himself. What was there to hesitate about?
Didn't he still have a trump card?
The upcoming adventure and potential death would all be paid for by Shadow Young Master of Black Shadow!
That's right, Li Yelai had decided that if he reached the brink of death, he would make another deal with Black Shadow!
With a chain as the price, to save the lives of everyone here and many more!
In a daze, Li Yelai heard laughter.
Unsure if it was in approval or mockery.
But Li Yelai didn't care, watching as the monster instantly charged at him.
Casting aside all fear, Li Yelai laughed loudly as he drew his sword and swung his axe!
The clash of the crimson steel knife and the steel axe sparked brilliant fireworks.
Li Yelai stepped back several steps, but caught the first strike!
Feeling intense pain in the web of his right hand, he hesitated not a bit, his left hand's steel knife slashing straight out!
Facing the monster's second strike!
He had already spotted several black lines on the monster, indicating its weaknesses!
A single strike along these lines, and the monster would be dead or crippled!
However, there weren't many black lines on the Spiritual Ability Equipment; it seemed his idea of breaking the weapon with one strike would have to be postponed.
That didn't matter!
Li Yelai let out a deafening roar, his steel axe and steel knife swiping rapidly.
As if returning to the battlefield.
Transforming into the Overlord of Western Chu, wielding a treasure sword and slaughtering the hundreds of War Soldiers surrounding him!
His battle skills were swiftly improving!
Light knife to lure the enemy, heavy axe for the assault.
Steel axe for defense, steel knife for surprise attacks.
Fighting with both hands, striking with both!
In less than three seconds, their weapons had ferociously collided over a dozen times.
The glow of the blades and the sparks burst forth.
Meanwhile, a strange force was also influencing the battlefield,
The ceiling lamp, barely holding on, suddenly fell directly towards Li Yelai. He stepped back just in time, allowing the monster, rushing forward, to be squarely hit by it. Sparks and electric arcs flickered on its Spiritual Barrier.
The recently hit cupboard was teetering. As Li Yelai passed by, it toppled down, but Li Yelai had already perceived it beforehand and stepped back again, letting the monster take the full brunt of the falling cupboard.
This was Li Yelai's curse, or rather, his Luck E.
After activating the ability, everything around him would lean towards some form of calamity,
creating coincidental accidents.
If this were on a street, a suddenly out-of-control vehicle would probably be heading his way soon.
