Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Xingtian Giant Axe, the Final Strike

Originally, everyone felt somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yuan absorbing eighty to ninety percent of the Deceitful Qi by himself.

However, after hearing what the officials said, they actually felt a bit embarrassed.

The lads of Peng City are mostly straightforward and bold.

After hearing this official remark, everyone understood the intention of the officials.

The goal of the officials was to enhance the overall strength of Peng City.

Particularly after Lü Dong’s suicide, turning into the Headless Xingtian.

The officials—or rather, Peng City—lacked a top-tier combat force.

If a similar supernatural being like the Headless General appears again, how should it be dealt with?

Therefore, to the officials, allowing Lin Yuan to absorb this Deceitful Qi might not be a bad thing.

”Forget it, forget it!”

”Whoever absorbs this Deceitful Qi, it’s absorbed. This kid’s absorption of it also strengthens our Peng City.”

”To be fair, our tattoos are no match for his, so the Deceitful Qi chose to let him absorb it. It’s his opportunity.”

....

....

The straightforward lads of Peng City, after understanding the good intentions of the officials, let go of their concerns about Lin Yuan absorbing the Deceitful Qi alone.

In reality, Lin Yuan himself is currently unaware that he has absorbed all the Deceitful Qi.

At the moment, he’s trapped in a profound state.

This state feels as though he’s wandering the heavens, as if merging with the cosmos.

In the endless world of darkness, Lin Yuan seems to see a short, broad, and black-skinned fat man.

The black fat man sits with crossed arms, grandly in front of a tumultuous crimson river.

He wears a tall pointed hat with the words ”World Peace” written on it, and black chains that resemble vicious pythons coil around him.

The black fat man, eyes wide with anger, with a ferocious look, seems to spot Lin Yuan and gives him a grin.

That grin gives Lin Yuan such a scare that he shivers, and the grin looked worse than a cry.

Without a doubt, this was Master Ba, Fan Wujie.

Master Ba, Fan Wujie, is what folks call Black Impermanence.

In terms of vicious methods and combat power, Master Ba Fan Wujie’s fighting prowess surpasses Master Qi Xie Bi’an.

Master Qi and Master Ba, this pair of partners had clear division of labor. Master Qi was the brains, while Master Ba was the brawn, taking the forefront in fights.

There is even a poignant friendship story about Master Qi and Master Ba among the folks.

Of course, if bromance counts as friendship.

This pair, Master Qi and Master Ba, certainly counts as good pals.

Good pals, a lifetime.

While they were alive, they were good friends; even in death, they were still great partners.

According to folklore, when they were alive, Master Qi and Master Ba were good friends. One day, they went out to play.

Halfway through, suddenly it poured rain, so they sought shelter under a bridge.

They waited for a long time in the rain, but it didn’t stop.

Master Qi, being tall and thin, could run fast, so he decided to go home to fetch an umbrella. Once he got it, they would continue their outing.

When leaving, Master Qi told Master Ba: ”Stand here and don’t move, I’ll buy you some oranges....No! Just stay here, I’ll go fetch an umbrella.”

After Master Qi left, Master Ba stood in the bridgehouse hiding from the rain. Little did he know, the rain grew heavier, and soon the river swelled up and flooded the bridgehouse.

Master Ba, also stubborn, thought, what if after I leave, my brother couldn’t find me?

He promised not to move, so he adamantly did not budge an inch.

He held his ground, even when the water rose to his neck, without batting an eyelid.

The essence was about honoring his promise, keeping his word, and valuing loyalty.

When Master Qi returned, he found that Master Ba had drowned.

Master Qi blamed himself deeply and hung himself on the bridge to join his brother.

This also explains why Master Qi’s tongue is so long; it’s because of the hanging, that’s how it looks.

Once their souls returned to the Underworld, King Yama heard their story and was moved by their sincere brotherhood, promoting them to be Deceitful Officers.

Later, they even became Yin Generals in the Underworld, receiving incense offerings from people.

Master Ba Fan Wujie turned his head and smiled at Lin Yuan; when their eyes met.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt the Black Impermanence Tattoo on him was awakening.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

The battle between the Headless Xingtian and the Headless General was nearing its end, with both sides utterly battered.

One of Headless Xingtian’s arms was broken, his body covered with wounds from the Wolf Fang Club, and through the wounds, one could vaguely glimpse the internal organs.

The Great Shield was nowhere to be seen, with only one hand left swinging the Big Axe, still fighting courageously without retreat.

The Headless General’s condition was slightly better than the Headless Xingtian’s, although his body was also riddled with wounds, he didn’t appear as ragged.

The Headless Xingtian was about to be defeated.

Lü Dong had sacrificed his life, using his blood and soul as a medium, forcibly awakening the Headless Xingtian tattoo.

He turned himself into a diminished version of the Headless Xingtian, but it was ultimately too weak.

His body couldn’t unleash the power of the Headless Xingtian tattoo.

Too early!

The Headless Xingtian tattoo awakened too early.

This is only the 1.0 version of the supernatural invasion, and the Deceitful Qi concentration in this version is utterly insufficient to support the full potential of the Headless Xingtian tattoo.

In the 3.0 version of supernatural invasion, that would be the stage for the Headless Xingtian.

In fact...

Even in the 2.0 version of the supernatural invasion, the Headless Xingtian could achieve victory.

Yet now, the Headless Xingtian is about to be defeated!

Lü Dong is already dead, what currently supports the Headless Xingtian in battle is Lü Dong’s obsession.

Lü Dong’s obsession, during his life, tells the Headless Xingtian he must not retreat, he must defend the land under his feet.

Yet now, he is about to be defeated!

The Headless Xingtian is approaching exhaustion, this body is riddled with wounds beyond repair to continue battling.

At this moment, Headless Xingtian raised his last remaining hand, lifting his Big Axe.

”Crack!”

The Big Axe reached toward the sky, invoking the mighty Thunder Power, electric snakes spiraled, terrifying aura burst forth from the Headless Xingtian.

It was the final strike!

This was the Headless Xingtian’s final strike, as well as Lü Dong’s last glimmering moment in his life.

Headless Xingtian lifted the Giant Axe, slow yet powerful, striking towards the Headless General.

The surging Thunder Power coursed through the Headless Xingtian and the Giant Axe, for an instant, the Headless Xingtian’s body turned into stardust merging with the Giant Axe.

Body turned into axe, a lethal strike.

The Headless General’s eyes revealed horror, fear, terror....

A mix of complex emotions, the Headless General realized that even if he fled to the edge of the world, this axe would follow him relentlessly.

This axe was unavoidable, he had to confront it head-on.

With this realization, the Headless General stopped being afraid. He gathered his overwhelming baleful energy onto the Wolf Fang Club.

The enormous Wolf Fang Club met the Xingtian Giant Axe head-on, it was also the strongest strike of the Headless General’s life.

”Clang!”

The Wolf Fang Club clashed with the Xingtian Giant Axe, a thunderous sound erupted.

The strongest strike of the Headless General’s life proved feeble as a clay doll under the Xingtian Giant Axe, shattered with a touch.

The Wolf Fang Club split into two, yet the Xingtian Giant Axe continued without losing momentum, slashing toward the Headless General.

The Xingtian Giant Axe struck the Headless General, cleaving him into two.

”Boom!”

A resounding noise, the lifeless body of the Headless General collapsed heavily to the ground.

”Dead!”

”He’s dead!”

”We won!”

”We’ve won!”

The Life Pattern Masters witnessing this scene saw the Headless General’s corpse split in two and fall, each one shouting loudly, embracing one another.

At this moment, the survivors watching the live battle stream on their phones were also crying tears of joy.
