Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 137: Chapter 135: The Appearance of the Mother Wraith

Lin Yuan’s current strength is definitely the ceiling among Life Pattern Masters.

To block his mental perception proves that this Ancient Well is the core of this deceitful demon realm.

Mother-Child Deceitful King, the strongest Tier Six Evil Spirit Lin Yuan has encountered since coming across Tier Five Evil Spirits.

Far stronger than Mr. Yimu Wu or the Golden Armor Zombie.

The power of rules she holds, what exactly is it?

Lin Yuan was a bit curious.

The function of mental perception has almost completely disappeared, so he could only rely on his eyes to see.

Meanwhile, the icy, eerie feeling around Lin Yuan, as if he was in an ice cellar, was intensifying.

Lin Yuan knew it was the sensation of Evil Spirits approaching.

Hence, he quickly activated the ability of the Soul-Luring Lamp tattoo.

A Bronze Ancient Lamp with a faint flame appeared in Lin Yuan’s hand, and as soon as the Soul-Luring Lamp emerged, it illuminated the surroundings.

In front of him, Lin Yuan found himself in a cave resembling a rectangular tomb.

At the center of the cave was an icy jade bed.

On this icy jade bed lay a woman dressed in white, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Around the icy jade bed, nine Trickster Children were gathered.

Since the woman was lying down, her appearance was totally unclear.

Mother Gu?

The pregnant woman who suddenly appeared in the village, as mentioned by his little sister-in-law.

Just as Lin Yuan was looking at her, she slowly sat up from the icy jade bed.

Clad in white, with loose hair, at this moment Lin Yuan could vaguely make out her features.

Average-looking, not particularly attractive, but a vague sight of large patches of rash on her face.

It seems, not just her face, the exposed arms, legs, neck might also have large patches of rash.

It looked like someone suffering from psoriasis.

”You’ve come!” Mother Gu’s hoarse voice echoed in the cave, creating an impression of 3D surround sound.

”You’ve burnt my child into this, I want you to compensate my child.”

”You’re the strongest human I’ve ever met. You and I can definitely conceive even stronger deceitful offspring!” Mother Gu stared at Lin Yuan up and down, her eyes were filled with naked desire!

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded, damn, the first thing she says is she wants me to help her have a second child?

Are you obsessed with kids or what?

Just thinking about having kids all day.

Oh boy! The rule you possess, could it be the more children you have, the stronger you become?

After being puzzled, Lin Yuan felt a wave of disgust.

Wanting me to have a second child, you damn well should take a look in the mirror.

Not to mention that you’re an Evil Spirit, even if you were a wealthy woman offering numerous benefits.

With that kind of appearance, Lin Yuan wouldn’t compromise himself!

Your psoriasis look is utterly disgusting!

I fear you might have an infectious disease.

”Giving birth to NMLGB.” Lin Yuan’s response was direct, going straight to national essence greetings.

Seeing Lin Yuan not only refusing to cooperate but also having openly disdainful eyes, Mother Gu got angry.

”Dear children!”

”Seize him!” Mother Gu stared intently at Lin Yuan, pointing in Lin Yuan’s direction.

At Mother Gu’s command, nine Trickster Children leapt up together, charging towards Lin Yuan.

The nine Trickster Children lunging at him did not make Lin Yuan panic; he almost wanted to laugh.

Lin Yuan slightly raised his hand, then clenched his fist, and released a word from his mouth.

”Fire.”

As soon as he said ”fire,” sounds of ”whoosh” and ”whoosh” rang out.

Simultaneously, flames emerged from the nine Trickster Children, enveloping them completely.

”Ah!”

”Ah! Ah!”

Within the blaze, the nine Trickster Children struggled bitterly, rolling back and forth like several fireballs.

This sudden occurrence clearly caught Mother Gu off guard.

She paused for a second or two, then realized she needed to rescue her Trickster Children.

With a wave of her sleeve, a large quantity of yin energy condensed into yin rain, poured over the Trickster Children, trying to extinguish the flames.

Truth be told, that yin rain had some efficacy, as it indeed could extinguish the blaze on the Trickster Children.

Mind you, those flames were the Samadhi True Fire!

Evidently, last time at the ancestral hall, when Mother Gu saved the nine Trickster Children, she used yin rain to put out the Samadhi True Fire on them.

However, times change.

The efficacy of yin rain last time doesn’t guarantee success this time.

The previous Samadhi True Fire burned from the outside in, and Mother Gu’s timely rescue meant these Trickster Children merely suffered minor injuries.

But this time, the fire burned from within out, and when Mother Gu extinguished the exterior Samadhi True Fire.

The Trickster Children’s organs, even their brains, had already been incinerated completely.

Even their souls were burnt to the point of soul flying off!

Yin rain extinguished the Samadhi True Fire, and all Mother Gu obtained were several Trickster Children’s bodies charred like coke.

”Damn it!”

”You deserve to die!”

An angry roar erupted, a chilling, terrifying sensation like being in an ice cave enveloped Lin Yuan entirely—this was the unmistakable, unmasked murderous intent of the Mother Gu.

Yet, that murderous intent only lasted a moment before it vanished without a trace.

The Mother Gu changed her mind, she couldn’t kill Lin Yuan.

The Trickster Child had already been reduced to ashes, even if she killed Lin Yuan, the Trickster Child could not be revived.

Since the main account was gone, she would have to develop a new account.

The most crucial part was that she couldn’t nurture this new account by herself; she needed a partner.

Right now, whether Lin Yuan agreed or not, he had to become her partner.

Join her to cultivate the new account.

Aside from wanting Lin Yuan to help her nurture the new account, the Mother Gu was also very curious about how Lin Yuan managed to instantly kill nine Trickster Children.

To actually kill nine Trickster Children in front of her, without even giving her time to react.

As the mother of these nine Trickster Children, she knew better than anyone how difficult they were to kill.

Not to mention killing, even injuring them was extremely hard.

Their lives were tied together; to injure them, you had to inflict the same damage on all nine Trickster Children at the same time.

A second too late, or if the damage was uneven, then the nine Trickster Children would remain unharmed.

With this ability, although the nine Trickster Children were Tier Six Evil Spirits, their lifesaving capability was on par with Tier Five Evil Spirits!

Lin Yuan being able to instantly kill the nine Trickster Children touched upon a knowledge blind spot for the Mother Gu.

”Want to know?”

”I don’t mind telling you!”

”I poisoned the nine Trickster Children with fire poison.”

”Just now, I simultaneously detonated the fire poison on their bodies, not even their joint lives could save them!” At this point, Lin Yuan deliberately slowed his speech, enunciating each word: ”Do you want to know how I poisoned them?”

”I placed the fire poison on....”

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s method of poisoning, the Mother Gu was furious beyond measure!

Impossible to defend against!

Impossible to defend against!

Who could have imagined Lin Yuan would poison them in such a place?

Originally, she had only planned for the nine Trickster Children to find healers separately so Lin Yuan would have no chance to strike them simultaneously.

In this way, the Trickster Children would be safe.

Never did she expect Lin Yuan had such a trick up his sleeve with poison.

The more Mother Gu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn’t help but howl to the sky: ”Is there any safe milk left in this world!”

The reason Lin Yuan divulged so much to the Mother Gu was to anger her and disrupt her mind.

With her child killed, how could a mother remain calm?

Even though the Mother Gu, as an Evil Spirit, might not have human-like emotions.

But these nine Trickster Children were birthed by her with great effort.

With the Trickster Children killed, she would undoubtedly be furious.

Everything went as Lin Yuan expected, successfully infuriating her.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Mother Gu looked up and howled, Lin Yuan unleashed all his power, using whatever tattoos he had on his body, whichever he could.

He charged directly toward the Mother Gu, intending to kill her while she was enraged and distracted!

With the Yellow Springs Road ability activated, Lin Yuan arrived in front of the Mother Gu in the blink of an eye, without a word, he swung Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword.

One strike after another.

Strike upon strike.

Waves of scarlet true qi, like a flood dragon rises to sea, or like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, surged toward the Mother Gu wave after wave, each more powerful than the last.

The Mother Gu, as the strongest Tier Five Evil Spirit Lin Yuan had encountered so far, wasn’t to be underestimated!

Just as Lin Yuan’s scarlet sword qi was about to strike her, her hair suddenly began to grow.

The Mother Gu, originally tousled and unkempt, now had hair that transformed into long spears, thrusting toward Lin Yuan.

”Clang!”

”Clang! Clang!”

The Mother Gu’s hair transformed into spears, withstanding Lin Yuan’s scarlet sword qi, the only price she paid was losing quite a bit of hair.

However, the minuscule amount of hair severed by the scarlet sword qi was negligible compared to the rapid growth of the Mother Gu’s hair.

Lin Yuan originally intended to infuriate the Mother Gu and strike unexpectedly.

In such circumstances, he failed to injure the Mother Gu.

It was enough to demonstrate the Mother Gu’s formidable power.

By now, there was no turning back.

Lin Yuan was all in, raising Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword and charging once more.

Taking the initiative twice was something Lin Yuan had never done since becoming a Life Pattern Master.

Engaging first is usually reserved for dealing with troublesome foes.

The main reason for engaging first is the enemy being too strong; acting first ensures the upper hand. If one acts later, they might be dealt with before getting a chance to act.

Lin Yuan and the Mother Gu were locked in battle, Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword tangled with the Mother Gu’s hair.

One must admit, the Mother Gu’s hair was truly formidable.

Fire-resistant, cut-resistant, yank-resistant, resistant to everything.

It could be hard or soft, long or short, transforming into sharp spears for head-on clashes with Lin Yuan, or morphing into chains attempting to bind him.

The Mother Gu might not look great, but she sure dreamed grand.

If Lin Yuan were so easily captured, he’d regret being among the elite Life Pattern Masters of humanity.
