74: Chapter 34 Breaking Army!_2 74: Chapter 34 Breaking Army!_2 At this moment, the stone statue was bathed in blood, moving freely as if it were a living creature, flying swiftly toward the intersection.

It was like a demon hunting humans.

A Level C taboo item, the Black Stone Gargoyle.

Its effect was to spawn a piece of black stone material every once in a while, one of the components for Spiritual Ability Equipment.

Once out of control, it would become a living being, hunting humans.

Even if its body were smashed, it could rapidly reassemble.

Its strength was about equivalent to a Spiritual Ability User who had experienced three Awakenings.

To suppress it, one had to shatter its head and prevent its body from approaching within a certain time span.

Only then could the suppression be completed.

With such abilities, even if Li Yelai summoned the Double Blade Knight, they would not be able to hold it down in a two-on-one fight.

They would likely be quickly killed.

But now, Li Yelai no longer feared it.

Or rather, it should be the one to fear!

Watching the approaching Black Stone Gargoyle, Li Yelai took out a strand of hair from the cloth bag in his arms, which still carried the delicate scent of a young girl.

But it was this strand of hair that made the Black Stone Gargoyle struggle in terror, falling from the sky.

Crashing heavily onto the ground, it scrambled away in a pathetic manner.

It was as if it faced not prey, but a natural predator!

This was the trump card the Doll had left for Li Yelai, a lock of hair carrying a portion of her curse.

It was also one of Li Yelai’s own trump cards, and one that only he could use.

Only he could wield such a method without fear.

Now, it was the perfect tool to delay the forbidden object.

Leaving the strand of hair in place, Li Yelai himself sped up to catch up with his companions.

Before the curse on the hair strand dissipated, whether it be the Black Stone Gargoyle or birds, none could pass through the intersection!

“What is that?” A Processor noticed Li Yelai catching up and couldn’t help but shout out in inquiry.

“The Doll’s hair!” Li Yelai responded quickly, “My curse resistance is high, I’m not afraid of this.

The forbidden object can’t handle it!”

“This…

is pretty awesome!” The Processor was somewhat astonished but had no time for gossip.

And Cheese took a quick glance back at Li Yelai but remained silent.

“Almost there, hold on!” Sha Li shouted, “Just a few more turns and we’ll be there!”

As they turned the first corner, the group saw a team of Processors and Iron Guards also rushing toward them in the distance, clearly in pursuit of the Mobius Ring Map as well.

At the moment, the effort wasn’t limited to Li Yelai and his party.

Many teams, through the use of taboo items or abilities, had located the whereabouts of the Mobius Ring Map and were rushing over with everything they had.

But unfortunately, they were being delayed.

They were simultaneously attacked by the Concealing Scarf and a large group of Grassland Cavalry.

Or rather, a group of Grassland Cavalry was attacking the Scarf and humans.

A fierce three-way battle ensued.

The Iron Guards’ thick Power Armor was riddled with arrow holes and sword slashes, and each Processor was also injured.

They fought while retreating, steadfastly moving closer to the Mobius Ring Map.

When the other side saw Li Yelai and his group, their eyes filled with surprise.

Among them, one young man immediately spoke out, though not for help.

“We’ll hold them off here; you go!

Hurry!”

As the young man spoke, an arrow pierced through his shoulder.

But he showed no fear, as if he felt no pain at all, and with his left hand, he snapped off the arrow.

With his right, he picked up a long spear and with one thrust, he sent a charging Cavalry and his warhorse flying.

The rest of his team also abandoned their route.

They immediately turned around, fighting fiercely with an endless stream of Grassland Cavalry and the Concealing Scarf, writhing like a huge serpent.

Upon realizing that their teammates were ahead, they decisively gave up advancing and chose instead to cover their retreat.

They placed their hopes on their comrades.

Li Yelai watched helplessly as a Processor’s arm was cut off, his heart’s flame growing fiercer.

Perhaps it was the influence of the Heart of Slaughter.

Li Yelai wanted to help them, to cut through these Cavalry.

“We…” Li Yelai’s hand clutched the cloth bag at his chest, still containing about half of the strands of hair.

They should be enough to drive away those knights!

“Don’t, there’s no time, keep going!

Hurry!” Sha Li’s eyes were bloodshot, yet he dared not pause, continuing to lead the team forward.

The closer they advanced, the more battles they saw.

Even I saw several corpses of Processors.

Those critically injured Processors revealed a glint in their eyes when they saw them.

It was the light of hope.

So, they desperately blocked the Taboo Items, buying time for Li Yelai and the others.

Li Yelai saw, the one who wanted to become sworn brothers with him, Ye Boshou, Bai Yang!

At this moment, Bai Yang was engaged in a fierce battle with a creature from the Void Realm.

It was…

one of the Taboo Items, a bounty hunter from the Red Wanted Order!

A creature from the Void Realm, not inferior to the Four Awakenings, possessing two types of bizarre Spiritual Ability Equipment!

Even the elite, Ye Boshou, couldn’t take him down easily.

Bai Yang’s broadsword continuously unleashed slashes, cutting through metal gates as if they were nothing.

Yet, it could not sever that creature from the Void Realm’s dagger.

Upon seeing Li Yelai and the others, Bai Yang let out a crazed laugh, his broadsword becoming even more ferocious!

“Don’t look back, don’t look back!” he roared, laughing wildly.

He abandoned all defense, attacking the creature from the Void Realm crazily, preventing it from moving an inch.

“It’s close, it’s so close, just past the last intersection, only three hundred meters…

Ahhh!!!”

Sha Li’s eyes were bloodshot, her voice hoarse; she saw the bodies of several friends.

She also saw several colleagues in need of assistance.

But she couldn’t stop, she could only leave her colleagues behind and keep moving forward!

However, just beyond that final turn, hundreds of Grassland Cavalry were charging in this direction.

They…

They were also in pursuit of the Mobius Ring Map and met with humanity’s last squadron!

At that moment, everyone in the team felt despair.

There was no time, not to mention whether they could withstand the charge of so many Cavalry.

Just considering their own speed, they definitely wouldn’t make it to the corner on time.

However, in the next second, those charging Cavalry fell to the ground with a crash, and the warhorses behind them, unable to stop in time, trampled the fallen riders.

Afterward, more Cavalry and warhorses fell into panic, causing the entire charge of the Cavalry to be forcefully stopped.

It was Li Yelai!

From the very back of the team, he took out all the strands of hair from his bag.

The doll’s Fear Curse made the oncoming Cavalry instantly fall into a panic.

This gave everyone the final hope, allowing them to reach the corner before the Cavalry.

“Good!

It’s just ahead, only two hundred meters!

Damn it, there’s another Taboo Item in front, the last one!

Hold it off!

I’m going to break the Mobius Ring Map!” Sha Li, seeing a beast-like Taboo Item emerging ahead, shouted, both crying and laughing like a crazy woman.

“Just one, just hold it off!” another Processor shouted excitedly, “Well done!

Night General!

Thank you, Doll, thank you Night General!

You are all heroes!”

But they didn’t hear a response from Li Yelai.

Preparing for battle, Cheese felt a sudden jolt in her heart and turned sharply to look back.

But she did not see the figure that was supposed to follow closely behind her.

Instead, she saw, at the corner, the slowly gathering Grassland Cavalry.

And…

the lone figure with a sword standing in front of the troops.

The curse…

Has the Doll’s curse worn off?

That moment, Cheese felt as if her heart had been ripped open.

“You bastard, what heroics are you trying to pull!” Cheese roared, turning to swallow a handful of candy, looking at the last Taboo Item blocking the way.

Hold on, I’m coming to save you!

Cheese’s eyes lit up with determination: “Speech Spirit·Bursting Flame….”

On the other side, Li Yelai, sword in hand, watched the approaching Cavalry, put down the ineffective hair strands, and gently shook the Summoning Bell.

The Double Blade Knight materialized beside him.

Playing the hero?

No, he didn’t count as a hero.

Unlike other Processors, he dared to take risks because he knew Mr.

Shadow would back him up.

What kind of hero was that?

How could he be compared with them?

He was just a despicable imitator.

But…

at least for now, he could…

Revenge!

And so, the terrifying Heavy Pupil looked down upon the Legion, his Heart of Slaughter pounding wildly!

Today, Breaking Army!

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone)
