Lord of Prayer - Chapter 300 206: Villain's Style (Part 2)
“Now’s the time! He’s weakened, finish him! Kill him!” the members of the Blood Race roared as they charged.
‘I wish to be restored to my peak condition.’
Zhou Chen calmly made the wish in his mind. In an instant, all the negative effects on his body miraculously vanished. His depleted Physical Strength, Spiritual Power, and Essence, as well as his injuries, all began to rapidly recover. He swung his blade to meet the charging Blood Race. It was a brutal, one-sided slaughter.
Meanwhile, Li Xiye was also locked in a fierce battle with a large number of the Blood Race. She was no longer the untrained Ascender she once was. During this time, she had learned many Fighting Skills through training, and her combat ability far surpassed what it used to be.
BOOM!
She threw a fierce punch. Cyan electric arcs crackled and exploded as tyrannical power blasted out, caving in a Blood Race member’s chest. She followed with another punch, shattering the creature’s skull and brain. Then, she spun around and delivered a vicious roundhouse kick. A piece of reinforced concrete flying at her was shattered by her kick, sending rubble flying.
“She’s a fucking monster!” The Blood Race member who had thrown the concrete shard from a distance broke out in a cold sweat.
A little over a month ago, it had taken part in the siege against Li Xiye at the Li Family Manor. An enraged Li Xiye had shattered its lungs and spine with a single punch. Back then, it had lamented how terrifying this person was and how she would surely become a great threat in the future. It never expected that day to come so soon.
Even back then, Li Xiye could repel them with sheer brute force. Now, that cruel violence had been taken a step further, sending a chill down one’s spine.
In that moment of shock, the Blood Race member saw Li Xiye rip the head off one of its kin. With a single pull, she tore out the poor bastard’s spine and, dripping with blood, swung it around like a weapon, lashing out at the surrounding kin.
‘So terrifying… so brutal… Is she even a human girl?’ The Blood Race member was utterly horrified, frozen in place.
Li Xiye swung the Spinal Sword, drenched in blood, reveling in the slaughter. With the link from the Contract Ring, she could use Zhou Chen’s Extraordinary Abilities. The days when she couldn’t effectively harm the Blood Race were long gone; now, she too could kill them for good.
Her fighting spirit soaring, she was like a meat grinder, tearing apart and blowing up any Blood Race member that came at her. Furthermore, her Extraordinary Ability, “Aspiration of the Blue Clouds,” also had the effect of resisting weakening Skills like Curses. As long as her will was strong enough in the moment, no negative weakening Skills would have any effect.
BANG!
The steaming Spinal Sword was smashed to pieces by Li Xiye. She abruptly stabbed forward, plunging the remaining sharp half of the spine into a Blood Race member’s heart. Then, she detonated the Cyan Flame, blasting her opponent into nothingness.
Next, a vortex of pale white flames swirled up from beneath her feet. Using Flame Jump, she appeared before another group of the Blood Race. Her fist, crackling with cyan electric arcs, suddenly shot toward one of their faces.
SPLAT!
The head burst like a watermelon.
Before the group of Blood Race could react, Li Xiye grabbed two of them by the head and violently smashed their skulls together. A gruesome crunch of shattering bone rang out. As she released her grip, two corpses with caved-in heads slumped to the ground.
‘This move Zhou Chen taught me is pretty useful. What was it called again? Oh, right, Skull Crusher.’
The thought flashed through Li Xiye’s mind. She unleashed all the Fighting Skills she had learned these past few days on the Blood Race. This was a rare opportunity to hone her skills; only real combat could improve her fighting techniques.
Like a tornado sweeping through, she slaughtered every last one of them. Li Xiye paused to catch her breath for a moment. Blood that wasn’t hers dripped from her face as her gaze, filled with fierce and brutal killing intent, began to search for her next target.
She erupted with cheetah-like speed, stirring up a gale as she charged toward a dazed Blood Race member in the distance. She slammed into it with her shoulder like a mountain. With a dull THUD, the creature was sent flying as if hit by a speeding dump truck. The crisp sound of shattering bones echoed from its body as it flew backward through the air, crashing into a streetside shop with the sound of breaking glass.
Cyan Flame entered its body. The Blood Race member, which had landed on the shop’s shelves, became a living torch and burst into flames. A moment later, it was burned to a cinder.
“Fuck, every single one of them is a monster. What do we do?”
Several Blood Race members in the distance saw this and panted heavily in terror. Although they had come with the resolve to die, facing death itself still struck a Fear that came from their very Souls.
“Concentrate your fire! Even if we can’t kill them, we have to injure them badly! Make them lose an arm or a leg!” one of the Blood Race snarled through gritted teeth.
Then, it suddenly heard the sound of tires screeching against the ground. It spun around, its pupils contracting, only to see the Hell Tank, covered in blood and gore, executing a perfect drift and swinging its rear end around to slam into them, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This was accompanied by an excited bark.
The heavy vehicle, boosted by its speed and momentum, solidly sent the few Blood Race members flying, making them cough up mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
The Hell Tank took the opportunity to spin in place. Its massive, dog-head-shaped cannon aimed at the Blood Race members still soaring through the air. In the driver’s seat, the husky stuck out its tongue and slammed its paw down on the fire button.
BOOM!
The few Blood Race members were hit by the beam cannon and instantly blasted into countless pieces of flesh.
The PAW Patrol had saved the day.
Li Xiye gave the doggy in the driver’s seat a thumbs-up and praised it with a smile.
“Woof!” the doggy responded excitedly, starting up the Chariot again.
The Isekai Reincarnation Dump Truck makes its grand debut!

「Year 234 of the New Calendar.」
The night was dark and overcast. A cold, damp wind blew in, carrying moist air. The city had fallen into a state of chaotic disorder.
It was about to rain.
Perched on a high-rise rooftop, Yang sighed. This was not good news.
For a sniper, harsh weather like rain could severely affect performance.
He held a pair of binoculars, observing the distant Woolworth Building. Suddenly, a light flashed from below the building, followed by a loud explosion. Gunsmoke filled the air.
“Hm?”
Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, raising the binoculars to get a better look. He saw a group of black-robed figures taking advantage of the chaos from the explosion to storm the Woolworth Building.
His heart skipped a beat. Those sneaky figures didn’t look like they were from the Star Association. Based on current intelligence, there was only one faction that would stir up trouble at a time like this!
The Crimson Sect!
They wanted the Eternal Life Machine, too!
The Crimson Sect had been secretly clashing with the Blood Race recently. How could they possibly miss an opportunity to fish in troubled waters?
‘Is the allure of eternal life really that great? Still, with these guys clearing the way, things should be a little easier for me…’
Yang looked at the case lying on the ground, his expression complicated. ‘What’s the use of a sniper rifle at a time like this? Couldn’t they have sent a fully-equipped exoskeleton Alchemy Armor…?’
But then, something horrifying happened.
Without any warning, starting from the top, the upper half of the Woolworth Building began to gradually disappear, as if it were a drawing being slowly erased, bit by bit.
‘…Forbidden Object B-026: Void Eraser?’
Yang was stunned. This bizarre scene strongly resembled the Ability of Forbidden Object B-026: Void Eraser.
‘Is it the Star Association, or the Crimson Sect?’
He stealthily scanned his surroundings, trying to find who had used the Forbidden Object.
Soon, Yang found his target. On the roof of a commercial plaza, a man in the uniform of a Star Association Operator was holding a rubber eraser, using it to wipe away the distant Woolworth Building. With every swipe, his face grew a shade paler.
‘This guy… a disposable tool sent by headquarters?’
Seeing the familiar uniform, Yang relaxed considerably.
A dozen or so seconds later, the man stopped erasing. He turned his head and looked across the distance toward Yang, startling him so much he shuddered. But when he saw the man merely give him a slight nod, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Woolworth Building was now shorter. The secret laboratory at the top was completely exposed, and from Yang’s position, he could clearly see inside it.
‘So that’s how it is…’ Yang thought, a pensive look on his face as he quickly set up his sniper rifle.
He flexed his fingers, his gaze turning grim and cold as he patiently waited for the right moment.
