Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2025: Killing (2)

When Ye Zhongming broke through the door and entered, the first person he saw was Lilaiqiya, who had already walked to the front.

Accustomed to fighting prepared, the Cloud Peak King knew this personʼs name, knew this personʼs status within the Huoʼer Star Race, and various circumstances. He also knew this was a trap, a trap specifically set for him and the Changxu Water Race people.

Only, a trap could only be called a trap if it captured prey. Otherwise, it was just a bit of trouble.

Lilaiqiya, in Ye Zhongmingʼs eyes, was that bit of trouble.

According to the information Ye Zhongming obtained, this ʼSlave Traffickingʼ team captainʼs Furelai exceeded seventy thousand.

Such a person was definitely a top-tier expert in Darkstrip City. Moreover, he had over one hundred warriors under him, all quite strong, with an average Furelai exceeding thirty thousand. Among them, the deputy captainʼs Furelai exceeded sixty thousand, also an expert.

Such a lineup was beyond the already severely weakened Changxu Water Raceʼs capacity to contend with. Given their combat strength, they might need someone with Furelai exceeding one hundred thousand to rival Lilaiqiya. And such people had basically died first during these years of resistance and escape.

Even the slightly better-off Star-Eye Clan, wanting to eliminate this hundred-person squad, might have to mobilize all their Gold Mask warriors and all their experts, still suffering huge losses.

This was also why, even though the Star-Eye Clan clearly knew the Changxu Water Race had a perfect relationship with Ye Zhongming, they could only watch from the sidelines as the slave trafficking team swaggered around.

It wasnʼt that they didnʼt want to intervene; they just didnʼt have the capability.
Because of this, they completely gave up on the Changxu Water Race, no longer dreaming of controlling them.

”Come to die.”

Regarding this face, Lilaiqiya felt somewhat familiar but couldnʼt quite remember where heʼd seen it.

Novice First—sounded impressive, but within the Huoʼer Star Race, many people had backgrounds as Novice Firsts; it wasnʼt strange at all. The reason he had that vague impression might still be because Ye Zhongming created a historical points record. Lilaiqiya might have glanced at it sometime...

Ye Zhongmingʼs aura at this moment was very strong, startling the others. But this level of Furelai wasnʼt much to Lilaiqiya.

He wore beautiful battle armor suitable for banquets; naturally, its functionality couldnʼt compare to what he usually wore. But this was also equipment second only to Red Condensation-grade, sufficient to deal with this person.

As for weapons... his fists were his most powerful weapons.

The Huoʼer Star people didnʼt know someone would attack them today. But this moment reflected the combat discipline a super raceʼs warriors should have. Almost as soon as Lilaiqiya gave the signal, over one hundred people had already made combat preparations, following their captain to kill the intruder who broke in.

Their faces bore cruel smiles. They counted the attackers and gauged their strength. In their view, this was undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.

Later, they would use these peopleʼs blood and wails to add the most wonderful annotation to this banquet.

”Ye Zhongming?”

”Star-Eye Clan?”

The high-and-mighty Lilaiqiya might not recognize Ye Zhongming, but the people living in Darkstrip City all recognized him. Over so many years, only this one celebrity had emerged here. Those Eight Powers clan members attending the banquet cried out one after another.

They were initially surprised; later, they became excited.

Finally, an opportunity to erase the Star-Eye Clan from Darkstrip City. Their population, wealth, and already developed underground fortress clusters would all become their wealth.

Every time a small clan perished in Darkstrip City, it was a feast for these mid-level races. They could unscrupulously feast and suck blood to replenish their already emaciated bodies.

”They really are related to the Changxu Water Race people!”

The five people behind Ye Zhongming, even though their attire differed greatly from the Changxu Water Race people seen earlier, their aura made it clear at a glance they were of the same race.

”Come here for what? Get lost!”

Who wouldnʼt know what was happening in this situation? Those captured Changxu Water Race people roared at their clansmen.

They knew their clansmenʼs combat abilities too well. Over so many years, probably only He was slightly more adept at combat, and that was relative. Others coming here was simply handing themselves over to be captured.

Why were they so foolish? Couldnʼt they see this was clearly a trap?

Many people in the Changxu Water Race closed their eyes in pain.

They could already foresee the outcome. Among these five people, probably one would be killed—likely the oldest or weakest. This was the Huoʼer Star peopleʼs consistent method, used to intimidate the Changxu Water Race people and other races.

The rest would become tools and playthings of this super race, just like them.

But before they could continue being shocked, they saw the young man who entered first—looking very disheveled—become enveloped in a layer of black mist, wrapping his entire person within it. That personʼs aura also abruptly rose to the peak among all lives present!

”Huh?”

Lilaiqiya was momentarily stunned; he didnʼt understand how this person could have such a change.

But this moment of stunned became the last instant of his life.

Above the black shadow manifested by Ye Zhongming, a phantom spear seemingly burning with black flames suddenly appeared. It manifested and then abruptly shot out, directly piercing into the head of Lilaiqiya, who was not far away.

Seemingly, there was no dent, no blood; even Lilaiqiyaʼs head remained intact, without even a tiny wound.

But his whole body leaned back, arms spread, mouth wide open as if roaring at the sky, yet his body didnʼt move at all.

The people present were all very strong; they easily sensed that at this moment, Lilaiqiya had lost his life, becoming a corpse.

”That was... the materialization of mental energy?!” An older Changxu Water Race captive suddenly uttered a sentence, providing an explanation for that stunning attack just now.

This phenomenon occurred only when both the total amount and quality of mental energy reached an awe-inspiring realm. It could already be considered a major killing move because this attack was locked on via mental energy. If the target couldnʼt contend in this aspect, they could hardly even move or dodge.

Lilaiqiya clearly was such a case.

The now black-mist-person Ye Zhongming extended a hand, clenched it in the air, and that mental energy spear subsequently exploded. A violent mental impact roared and rampaged through the hall.
