Lord of Prayer - Chapter 330 - 222: Magnetic Field Lunatic

In the dense forest.

Li Chengtian leaned against a snow-covered boulder, panting heavily. His Essence pulsed, his body radiating a scorching heat. Wisps of hot steam spewed from his pores, melting the surrounding snow. Large patches of charred scars flaked off as his muscles and skin slowly regenerated.

Specks of dried blood dotted the area around his eyes, ears, nostrils, and the corners of his lips—injuries from the mental explosion caused by the detonated Cyan Flame. However, as time passed, his damaged Sea of Silver gradually calmed and recovered, and the mental anguish faded just as quickly.

After a long while, Li Chengtian stood up, spear in hand. In a flash, he vanished into the woods.

Not long after, a heavily armored military Chariot came rampaging through the forest, stopping beside the boulder Li Chengtian had just been leaning against.

Zhou Chen leaped from the vehicle. Surveying the large patches of charred skin on the ground, he clicked his tongue in amazement. “What a powerful constitution. He’s recovered this quickly?”

After destroying the cave, Chengzi and the others had joined him to encircle and attack Li Chengtian. The guy was strong, but his fists and spear were ultimately no match for a 30mm autocannon and high-explosive grenades. Through their coordinated assault, Li Chengtian was quickly put at a disadvantage.

First, he had been struck by Zhou Chen’s blade several times, allowing the Cyan Flame to invade his body and doubly sear his flesh and spirit. Then, he had taken a high-explosive grenade head-on while his mind was simultaneously battered by the detonated Cyan Flame…

Any other Ascender would have been eliminated by now, but Li Chengtian, as if forged from iron, stubbornly endured it all. Despite his horrific injuries, he used the light and smoke from the explosion to make his escape.

After chasing him all this way, the Essence Zhou Chen had left in his opponent’s body had been completely ground away, and the trail had gone cold.

Of course, he could make a wish to find Li Chengtian’s whereabouts and continue the pursuit, but there was no longer any need.

Li Chengtian was a Strength Type Ascender of the simple, brutal, and tough-as-nails Martial Artist Style, possessing no flashy Extraordinary Abilities. His Power, speed, defense, constitution, and spirit were all at the Tier Two Pyramid Peak Level. After a short period of recovery, his injuries were already mostly healed.

’Chasing him again would definitely lead to another vicious battle, and he might just escape again. Rather than waste time on the pursuit, I’d be better off going back to collect the loot and build up some stronger, fiercer firepower.’

Half an hour later, a figure slowly rose from the silent, snowy landscape. Confirming that Zhou Chen was no longer pursuing him, Li Chengtian shook the snow off his body and finally relaxed, heading off into the distance.

In the dead of night, dozens of flickering torches appeared in the distant darkness.

“Brother Li!”

From a great distance, Li Chengtian heard Sun Shiheng’s pleasantly surprised voice as dozens of figures hurried toward him.

“[A Cold Light First Arrives]… Li Chengtian?”

Someone in the Slaying Alliance saw his ID and looked astonished. This was a real powerhouse, not to mention his formidable strength, he also came from a profound background—the East Continent Li Family.

Seeing Li Chengtian in tattered clothes, Sun Shiheng quickly called out, “Quick, get Brother Li a change of clothes! Brother Li, did you manage to take them out?”

Li Chengtian put on the down jacket and shook his head. “Zhou Chen is very strong; killing him is difficult. His teammates were all in a helicopter, so I couldn’t reach them.”

“What a pity. But no matter, we’ll have a chance to make a comeback.” Sun Shiheng introduced the Dragon Lady beside him. “This is Philis, the captain of the Slaying Alliance.”

“The Slaying Alliance?”

“Yes. Based on current intel, Zhou Chen’s team is the strongest. We have to team up to deal with them. We can’t let them keep picking us off one by one,” said Dragon Lady Philis.

One team becoming dominant would inevitably draw the ire of others. Moreover, Zhou Chen’s group had been rampaging everywhere, eliminating wave after wave of contestants. They had become too conspicuous, a thorn in many people’s sides. The members of the Slaying Alliance either wanted revenge for their teammates, simply didn’t want to see Zhou Chen’s group succeed, or had ulterior motives, hoping to pick up the scraps after both sides were battered and broken.

However, on a broader level, their goal was unified: eliminate Zhou Chen’s team of four first!

Li Chengtian scanned the Slaying Alliance members in the snow and shook his head, unconvinced. “If it’s just you guys, the Slaying Alliance is no match for them.”

“We have another group of members who are rushing to forge a secret weapon.”

Philis said with a serious expression, “[Akina Mountain Car God] and [Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God] are also on our team.”

“They’re here too…? In that case, our chances of winning are much higher.”

Li Chengtian nodded in understanding. “I’m with you.”

Countless bullet comments scrolled across the live stream. Donated gifts from the audience refreshed madly, including many large donations like rockets, super rockets, and spaceships. Dazzling gift animations flooded the entire screen.

“LMAO, Li Chengtian got owned!”

“Alright, the Colonel’s jinx is as terrifying as ever. He totally jinxed Li Chengtian into oblivion.”

“Looking at it this way, Li Chengtian’s raw power is still insane. It’s a classic trope that Lancers have E-rank luck, and on top of that he got jinxed by the Colonel, but he still wasn’t eliminated.”

“Maybe two negatives make a positive?”

“Hold on, is no one going to point out how the Dragon Lady said ’[Akina Mountain Car God]’ and ’[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God]’ with a straight face, and how Li Chengtian gave a dead serious reply? Why do I find this so hilarious? How can there be such ridiculous troll names in such a serious situation? How are they not cracking up?”

“Forming a Slaying Alliance? Damn, so that’s a thing now. Looks like [Joyful Sawman] and [Black Pepper Fried Chicken Forging Workshop] have really pissed everyone off.”
