77: Chapter 35 The Second Face!_3 77: Chapter 35 The Second Face!_3 It was in just that instant, a figure charged into the chaotic ranks of the cavalry.

It was Li Yelai, who had employed visual disturbance!

The visual disturbance provided by the Spiritual Ability Equipment allowed Li Yelai to successfully breach the army’s formation.

Ironically, visual disturbance was meant for assassination, yet Li Yelai used it to break into the formation.

Roaring furiously, Li Yelai swung his long blade, once more opening a hunt.

In just a moment, he had shattered several cavalrymen blocking his path, while the Double Blade Knight guarded his rear, warding off cold arrows from behind.

Li Yelai’s target was directed straight at the Zhe Lan King!

The Zhe Lan King had clearly noticed this and allowed even more cavalry to fire in unison at Li Yelai, regardless of friendly fire!

Thus, in an instant, countless arrows fell, aiming directly at the cavalry formation where Li Yelai was.

In that moment, the Zhe Lan Cavalry who died under the rain of arrows launched by their own comrades almost reached the number killed by Li Yelai himself.

But Li Yelai was still not dead.

From the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emerged a figure.

Li Yelai held a blade in one hand, upon which several Grassland Cavalry were skewered, arrows piercing their bodies.

He used the Grassland Cavalry as a shield!

That blocked the round of volley fire, and he charged once more toward the Zhe Lan King!

Watching this ghostly figure, even the Zhe Lan King was taken aback for a moment.

Then, he ordered, “Continue the volley fire!”

“Where do you think you’re running to?” Li Yelai roared in anger, fiercely swinging his long blade, using the corpses to block the arrows, and employed the Virtual Realm Beast Language once again.

He closed the distance with the Zhe Lan King yet again.

Only fifty meters left!

Just fifty meters!

But the Zhe Lan King seemed to have noticed Li Yelai’s Beast Language ability and promptly ordered his warhorses’ ears to be plugged.

So much so that when Li Yelai charged forward the third time, using the Beast Language again, it had no effect.

Instead, the Cavalry who maintained their distance began to circle Li Yelai and initiated horseback shooting tactics.

They recognized Li Yelai’s formidable close combat strength and didn’t engage him in melee combat.

They intended to shoot Li Yelai down with their horseback shooting ability!

Li Yelai was already wounded by arrows, his left arm and right calf were grazed by them.

These were still minor wounds; the fatal ones were from the Iron Armor Knights’ Heavy Arrows!

Those heavy arrows were immensely powerful and even Li Yelai, continually strengthened by the Heart of Slaughter, couldn’t block them safely.

The cavalry corpses he had taken as shields were easily penetrated.

Those Iron Armor Knights were too elite; the Double Blade Knight was supposed to employ the Fogging Flash Body ability to assassinate the Zhe Lan King but was blocked time after time.

He even had his shoulder pierced by a heavy arrow.

It was no use; the Double Blade Knight with Flash Body ability couldn’t kill the Zhe Lan King, while Li Yelai, possessing powerful close combat strength, couldn’t catch up to the Zhe Lan King!

Dodging another heavy arrow assault, Li Yelai felt his heart pounding fiercely, unsure if it was due to overwhelming anger or a desire for slaughter.

His breathing grew increasingly rapid.

He was now in an awkward position, unable to catch up or outrun them.

He could only passively be shot at by the horseback shooting.

Continuing like this, no matter how limitless his energy, he would be worn down to death.

Moreover, Li Yelai had activated the Heart of Slaughter for over half an hour now.

How long had it been?

Forty minutes, or fifty minutes?

Li Yelai didn’t know at this moment.

He had been immersed in the slaughter.

He was completely unaware that he had been carrying the Heart of Slaughter for over an hour!

Furthermore, Li Yelai even felt that the Heart of Slaughter was fearing something, as if it wanted to flee from his body.

“Damn, what are you running from?

You keep messing with me!” Li Yelai tore off his upper clothing and pressed the agitated Heart of Slaughter against his scar-laden chest.

Without the Heart of Slaughter at this time, his weakened state would lead to his immediate death.

No, even with the Heart of Slaughter, he still couldn’t catch up to the Zhe Lan King.

Bad luck…

real bad luck, even if the enemy’s in the same region, at least give me a good terrain.

In this terrain, I can only be kited!

Could it be…

I have to make a deal with Mr.

Shadow?

“It seems it’s still…” Li Yelai, dodging arrows, suddenly had a thought.

No, it wasn’t time for that yet, he…

still had a Second Face.

Yes, the Second Face!

Give me a mask that can catch up to the Zhe Lan King!

In a trance, Li Yelai saw from his own shadow, a dark tentacle reaching out.

The tentacle unfolded, revealing a snow-white mask.

Li Yelai grinned, and with one swipe over his face,

At a distance, the Zhe Lan King suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, as if some natural predator had arrived…

Elsewhere, Li Yelai found himself in an illusion.

It was a strict ancient military camp, and a young general laughed within it.

“Uncle, I’m going to catch a tongue…”
