Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 161: Chapter 159: Sister-in-Law Appears to Save Lin Yuan

On the other side, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Peng’s battlefield.

Zhang Peng had somewhat recovered a little strength and energy, he glanced at Zhang Zhen lying not far away.

At this moment, Zhang Zhen was struggling to get up as well.

Clearly, Zhang Zhen too, like him, had partially regained some strength and energy.

Ever since Lin Yuan transformed him from Zhang Peng with a bird to Zhang Peng without one.

Besides losing his bird, Zhang Peng seemed to have also lost some of a man’s courage.

The fight between him and Zhang Zhen was simply too fierce.

The most crucial was that Zhang Peng had no intention of winning.

Thinking this, Zhang Peng lost his fighting spirit.

Using what little energy he had, he summoned the Wind-Fire Wheel and fled towards the distance.

Zhang Peng wanted to escape, but Zhang Zhen wanted to determine a winner.

”Don’t run, you brat!”

Seeing Zhang Peng flee, Zhang Zhen shouted loudly, flapping his Thunder Wings in pursuit of Zhang Peng’s escaping direction.

Zhang Peng’s escape route was precisely towards where Yang Jing and Lin Yuan were battling.

Zhang Peng wanted to see whether Yang Jing and Lin Yuan had reached a conclusion, if they could create an ally for him like this, then he could turn back to deal with Zhang Zhen.

However, the fleeing Zhang Peng ran headlong into several blood-soaked monks.

Zhang Peng recognized these monks!

This was the Ma Family’s hunting squad, the strongest hunting squad of the entire Deceitful King Faction.

The Eighteen Arhats!

How did they end up looking like this?

Zhang Peng felt something was amiss and quickly asked: ”Why are you here, where are the others?”

The blood-covered ”Dragon Slayer” saw the equally beaten-down Zhang Peng and replied, ”There are no others left, some ran, some died.”

Though Zhang Peng knew things were bad upon seeing Dragon Slayer and the others, hearing this personally still left him immensely shocked.

”Yang...”

”Yang Jing lost?” Zhang Peng asked solemnly.

”Lost!”

”Our brothers teamed up with Yang Jing to deal with Lin Yuan, but that Lin Yuan was too insane, his tactics never ended.”

”Yang Jing lost to him, being split into two, and the body was taken away by someone!”

”Of our eighteen brothers, only a few of us are left!” Dragon Slayer said coldly, ”Alright, don’t ask, let’s run!”

”If Lin Yuan catches up, we’re all done for.”

Even Dragon Slayer, a monk, burst out with curses, showing the pressure Lin Yuan placed on them.

Just moments ago, when Lin Yuan split Yang Jing in half with one strike, Dragon Slayer and the others had made a break for it.

Therefore, they didn’t know that Lin Yuan was already unconscious.

Dragon Slayer, Zhang Peng, and the others fled swiftly out of fear of Lin Yuan catching up.

As Zhang Peng and the others left, Zhang Zhen caught up from behind.

Before Zhang Zhen could find Zhang Peng, he heard cries for help not far away: ”Quick, save people, hurry.”

”First save Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin is unconscious.”

Hearing the urgent cries, Zhang Zhen’s face dramatically changed.

Mr. Lin was unconscious!

Mr. Lin.

The boss?

”Damn!”

”The boss is unconscious!” Realizing this, Zhang Zhen disregarded chasing Zhang Peng.

He quickly flapped his Thunder Wings to join the main troop to check on Lin Yuan’s situation.

When Zhang Zhen arrived, the Deceitful King Faction had either fled or died, and everyone was cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded.

Several people surrounded Lin Yuan, yet none could approach him.

Despite Lin Yuan being unconscious, demonic flames still surrounded his entire body.

Life Pattern Masters below Tier Six couldn’t come close, once they did, they’d be burnt to ashes by the demonic flames.

The few remaining Tier Six Life Pattern Masters were all guarding Elder Yang, fearing the Deceitful King Faction would return.

”Boss, boss!”

”You can’t die! If you die, Wushan Shelter won’t have a leader!”

”You didn’t even leave an heir, whom can I assist?” Zhang Zhen lay sobbing beside Lin Yuan.

However, at this moment.

”Boom!”

After a loud bang, Zhang Zhen was sent flying, spewing a mouthful of blood while airborne.

Then, he heavily crashed into the ground, scattering dust everywhere.

Originally injured from fighting Zhang Peng, Zhang Zhen felt his body fall apart after this harsh fall.

”Who!”

”Who hit me!”

”Who the hell hit me?” Zhang Zhen struggled to get up, looking around and shouting angrily.

As Zhang Zhen got up, Lin Yuan also rose on the other side.

Zhang Zhen: ”?????”

Zhang Zhen understood that it was Lin Yuan who slapped him away.

”Boss, why did you hit me?” Zhang Zhen asked, feeling aggrieved.

Zhang Zhen thought, I cried so earnestly, why did you hit me?

However, Lin Yuan paid no attention to Zhang Zhen.

Soon enough, Zhang Zhen noticed Lin Yuan’s abnormality.

By now, Lin Yuan no longer looked like the Zhong Kui avatar, but had reverted to his original appearance.

Yet this Lin Yuan now was enshrouded in demonic flames, and his eyes showed no pupils but were replaced by burning demonic flames.

Moreover, Lin Yuan’s aura was anything but normal.

His whole aura was...

Slaughter, rage, brutality, evil, eerie...

The current Lin Yuan, besides having a human shape, didn’t resemble a human at all.

He more closely resembled a demon, an evil spirit.

Demonic energy invaded his mind.

Lin Yuan had gone mad.

”Retreat!”

”Quick, retreat, he’s not right!”

Zhang Zhen shouted urgently, signaling the surrounding Life Pattern Masters to retreat quickly.

Right now, the more people there are around, the more likely it is to provoke Lin Yuan.

At this moment, anyone, let alone Zhang Zhen, could see that Lin Yuan’s state was abnormal.

A group of Life Pattern Masters quickly retreated, then gathered around the real Yang Dingguo, surrounding him protectively.

Lin Yuan was now demonized, in a state of unrecognizing anyone.

They were afraid that if Lin Yuan went berserk and harmed Yang Dingguo, it would be troublesome.

If Yang Dingguo didn’t die at the hands of the Deceitful King Faction, but in Lin Yuan’s hands, it would be a colossal joke.

”Boss, it’s me, Zhang Zhen!”

”I’m Zhang Zhen, wake up, you must wake up!”

”Think of Sister Ling’Er, think of Sister Ying, you mustn’t have anything happen to you!”

”If something happens to you, how can I explain when I go back!”

”Go back? If something happens to you, how could I even show my face going back!” Zhang Zhen looked at Lin Yuan’s condition, almost on the verge of tears.

....

...

Meanwhile.

Deceit Village.

Inside that Ancient Well.

”Dong.”

”Dong, dong.”

The Vermilion Red Coffin inside the well made some vibrations, as if sensing something.

The supernatural woman within the coffin suddenly opened her eyes.

A moment later, the Vermilion Red Coffin flew out of the well, disappearing at the horizon.

....

...

”Boss!”

”Wake up! Wake up!”

”I’m Zhang Zhen, wake up!”

”If killing me can wake you up, then kill me!”

At this moment, the demonized Lin Yuan was violently beating Zhang Zhen, and although blood kept gushing from Zhang Zhen’s mouth, he still tightly held onto Lin Yuan’s waist from behind, trying to awaken him.

”Bang!”

”Bang! Bang!”

Lin Yuan’s fists kept pounding Zhang Zhen, and Zhang Zhen finally couldn’t hold on, collapsing at his feet.

”Boss, wake up....”

”Wake...” Zhang Zhen weakly said, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.

After knocking down Zhang Zhen, Lin Yuan stepped step by step towards Yang Dingguo’s group.

”Tap.”

”Tap, tap.”

Lin Yuan’s footsteps echoed; it wasn’t just stepping on the ground, it was like stepping on everyone’s heart!

”Quickly, go!”

”First, escort Elder Yang away!”

”Quick, quick!”

The Life Pattern Masters responsible for Yang Dingguo’s safety saw Lin Yuan’s state and knew that the most dreadful scenario was unfolding.

Lin Yuan was demonized, not recognizing anyone, wanting to kill all the living nearby.

These Life Pattern Masters realized they had to escort Yang Dingguo away from there.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Lin Yuan was faster, blocking their path.

A powerful energy erupted from Lin Yuan’s body, and the violent Energy Wave fiercely flung everyone away.

”Lin Yuan, don’t act recklessly!”

”Lin Yuan, you....”

Lin Yuan was about to strike at Yang Dingguo, and everyone shouted in unison.

However....

At this critical moment.

”Boom!”

A loud crash sounded, as if something had descended from the sky, hitting the ground heavily and stirring up billowing dust.

When the dust settled, everyone saw what had descended from the sky.

It was a Vermilion Red Coffin, carved with dragons and phoenixes, clearly not an ordinary item.

Upon seeing this coffin, everyone fell into despair.

Lin Yuan’s demonization was bad enough, and now it seemed another evil spirit had arrived?

”Clang.”

At that moment, the lid of the Vermilion Red Coffin opened.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a dignified-looking woman stepped out of the Vermilion Red Coffin.

She covered her face with a white veil and wore luxurious ancient clothing. It didn’t seem like it was meant for humans to wear, more like the clothes worn by deities in statues.

Her delicate jade-like hand gently took Lin Yuan’s hand, and moments later, the demonic aura on Lin Yuan’s body seemed to dissipate a bit.

”Let’s go!”

She softly called out, and the demonized Lin Yuan actually nodded blankly, then followed her back onto the Vermilion Red Coffin.

Soon after, a ”clang” was heard again as the lid of the Vermilion Red Coffin closed.

Moments later, the Vermilion Red Coffin shot into the sky, taking Lin Yuan away from their sight.

”Who?”

”Is she a human or a ghoul?”

”She....”

”She took Mr. Lin away!”

The crowd looked towards the sky, speaking incoherently.

For a moment, they couldn’t tell if the woman who had just stepped out of the Vermilion Red Coffin was human or a ghoul or an evil spirit.

She seemed human, but stepping out of a Vermilion Red Coffin felt unsettling.

But if she were a ghoul, an evil spirit, then why hadn’t she harmed anyone?

”Little....”

”Little sister-in-law, is it sister-in-law?” Zhang Zhen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Even though the aura of the woman had completely changed and her face was veiled, Zhang Zhen still recognized her.
