Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 162: Chapter 160: Saving Lin Yuan

Except for Zhang Zhen, none of the people present seemed to know who the ”little sister-in-law” was.

At this moment, Yang Dingguo hurried over to Zhang Zhen and asked, ”Zhang Zhen, who exactly is this ’little sister-in-law’ you mentioned?”

Yang Dingguo was aware of Lin Yuan’s feat of slaying the Golden Armor Corpse King and the Mother-Child Deceitful King.

However, he only knew the general outline; he was not aware of the specific details involved.

After all, he was an extremely busy man, and it was impossible for him to delve into every detail.

”Little...”

”The little sister-in-law is...” As Zhang Zhen spoke, blood trickled from his mouth.

Zhang Zhen’s injuries were too severe; he was in a desperate state, barely clinging to life.

Lin Yuan being taken away by that mysterious woman also unsettled Yang Dingguo.

It then occurred to Yang Dingguo that even if he wanted to find out who that woman was, Zhang Zhen needed to be treated first.

Otherwise, if Zhang Zhen succumbed, no one would know who the little sister-in-law was.

”Quick, treat his injuries first.” Yang Dingguo quickly ordered.

As soon as Yang Dingguo gave the order, someone rushed forward to attend to Zhang Zhen’s injuries.

After some emergency measures, Zhang Zhen’s condition improved significantly.

Thanks to the robust abilities of a Life Pattern Master, Zhang Zhen, though still somewhat weak, had no issues communicating normally.

”Elder Yang, the little sister-in-law is someone we encountered in Deceit Village when we eliminated the Mother-Child Deceitful King.” Zhang Zhen paused, hesitating: ”No, perhaps she can’t be considered as just a person anymore.”

”In the end, according to the boss, she was possessed by the Mother-Child Deceitful King. After the boss killed the Mother-Child Deceitful King, he sealed her body in a Vermilion Red Coffin.”

”It should, it should be that coffin we saw earlier.”

Following that, Zhang Zhen narrated everything they experienced in Deceit Village to Yang Dingguo as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After listening to Zhang Zhen, Yang Dingguo pondered for a moment and slowly said, ”So you’re saying Lin Yuan and the little sister-in-law have some connection.”

”Given the recent situation, that woman should be the little sister-in-law, not the Mother-Child Deceitful King.”

”According to you, the Mother-Child Deceitful King is murderous by nature, and we wouldn’t stand a chance against her.”

”If she were the Mother-Child Deceitful King, we would all be dead.”

Zhang Zhen agreed with Yang Dingguo’s analysis.

Indeed, not to mention others, just himself, Zhang Zhen.

The last time in Deceit Village, he was indeed at odds with the Mother-Child Deceitful King. If that had been her just now, he would have definitely met his end.

The fact that he’s still alive now indicates that it’s highly likely that woman is the little sister-in-law.

Moreover, the emotion that woman displayed towards Lin Yuan made Zhang Zhen more convinced she was the little sister-in-law.

The only thing still puzzling Zhang Zhen is that not long ago, the little sister-in-law was just an ordinary person.

And she lost her life to the Mother-Child Deceitful King. How exactly did she come back to life and gain extraordinary powers?

As Zhang Zhen pondered, he heard Yang Dingguo speak again, slowly saying, ”First, go to Emperor Dragon City. I have some old friends in Emperor Dragon City. Once there, I will seek their aid to find some experts to search for Lin Yuan.”

”No matter what, we must find Lin Yuan, dead or alive.”

Right now, Yang Dingguo and his group were like defeated troops.

It’s not an exaggeration to say everyone was injured.

Those severely injured, like Zhang Zhen, were covered in scars and had lost the ability to move on their own.

The lightly injured had broken heads, bleeding wounds, and broken bones.

If a stronger evil spirit appeared now, it could wipe them all out, let alone search for Lin Yuan.

They definitely didn’t have the strength to search for Lin Yuan now, so the only strategy was to go to Emperor Dragon City first, and let Yang Dingguo seek help to send experts to find Lin Yuan.

Although Zhang Zhen worried about Lin Yuan’s situation, he was helpless.

Because now, he himself needed two people to carry him on a stretcher to move forward.

”Alas!” Zhang Zhen sighed heavily and said helplessly, ”This is the only way!”

...

...

On the other side.

Deceit Village.

Suddenly, a red hue appeared in the sky.

That red hue wasn’t a sunset, but a Vermilion Red Coffin emitting a faint red glow.

It projected into the sky, resembling a sunset.

Inside the coffin, instead of a small, confined space as one might imagine, it was a spacious and boundless area like a paradise.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was standing face-to-face with the little sister-in-law.

Lin Yuan stood still, but his eyes blazed with intense flames.

The little sister-in-law gazed at Lin Yuan with eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

”The demonic qi invades the mind, and the demonic flames consume the body.”

”If this continues, you’ll burn out,” said the little sister-in-law, worry evident in her voice.

The reason Lin Yuan was in this state was entirely because he had forcibly used Zhong Kui’s abilities, triggering side effects.

Although he had awakened the Zhong Kui tattoo, it happened prematurely.

According to the grade of the Zhong Kui tattoo, it should only awaken at the earliest during the early stage of the Eerie Invasion 3.0 version.

Now, it’s just the mid-stage of the Eerie Invasion 2.00 version.

The premature awakening of the Zhong Kui tattoo gave Lin Yuan a strength that could be called invincible.

However, his body couldn’t support such an almost invincible power, so he had to endure powerful side effects.

As she spoke, the sister-in-law gently caressed Lin Yuan’s face and said softly, ”Don’t worry, you will be fine.”

”I’d rather die than let you die.”

...

...

The reason the sister-in-law could come back to life was twofold: one was the drop of Nai River water Lin Yuan left in her body, and the other was the Vermilion Red Coffin.

The function of the Nai River water is nourishment. With the nourishment of Nai River water, the fragment of the soul that remained in her body gradually became whole, slowly restored her consciousness, and regained control over her body.

Subsequently, the sister-in-law received a mysterious inheritance within this coffin.

This coffin was a chance acquisition by the Mother-Child Deceitful King, known as the Deceitful Coffin. Besides enhancing the divine soul, its most crucial feature is that it hides an extremely powerful inheritance.

Although the Mother-Child Deceitful King obtained this coffin, she never received its recognition, so she was unable to receive that powerful inheritance.

Contrarily, by a stroke of luck, the sister-in-law received the recognition of the Deceitful Coffin and gained that incredibly powerful inheritance.

It was precisely because she obtained this powerful inheritance that the sister-in-law now possessed such strength.

Unfortunately, the sister-in-law had acquired the inheritance too recently to fully understand and digest it.

Therefore, she currently had no method to save Lin Yuan without harm.

Through her time at Deceit Village, the sister-in-law had developed feelings for Lin Yuan.

Love may be odious, but it pledges life and death.

The sister-in-law actually had only one way to save Lin Yuan, and that was to trade her life for his.

The main reason Lin Yuan became like this was due to the demon energy and demonic flames in his body.

The method to save Lin Yuan was simple: the sister-in-law had to draw this demon energy and demonic flames into her own body.

...

...

Drawing the demon energy and demonic flames from Lin Yuan’s body into her own was easier said than done.

Indeed, it’s not difficult.

As long as they first connected, after connecting, then moved, the connection plus the movement would allow the deceitful Qi to be discharged from Lin Yuan’s body into the sister-in-law’s.

With the plan in mind, the sister-in-law didn’t hesitate, and took action immediately.

Soon, within the space of the coffin, a new round of ”test drives” began.

Don’t say it, seriously, sometimes this second-hand car really isn’t worse than a new one.

A new car needs to be broken in! But this second-hand car doesn’t need any breaking-in, you can start it right away, aggressively pressing the gas pedal, it drives incredibly well.

However, with Lin Yuan currently in a coma, how is a test drive under this condition any different from drunk driving?

At this moment, above the sky outside.

The Vermilion Red Coffin was soaring through the sky like a car!

The red coffin emitted a red halo, resembling a red Ferrari, sometimes veering left, sometimes right, sometimes speeding, sometimes braking sharply...

However, the concentration of the demon energy and demonic flames within Lin Yuan was far beyond the sister-in-law’s expectations.

The sister-in-law was unable to completely absorb all the demon energy in Lin Yuan’s body in one go, it seemed like it would take at least one course of treatment!

For seven consecutive days, the red coffin would occasionally fly up to crazily soar in the sky, after an intense racing session, rest back in the Ancient Well.

After resting, it would soar in the sky again day and night.

After the full seven-day course, the sister-in-law finally managed to draw all the demon energy and demonic flames from Lin Yuan into her own body.

It was only now that the sister-in-law realized how powerful the inheritance she received was.

As the demon energy and demonic flames entered her body, the inherited cultivation technique she received began to operate intensely, trying to digest those energies.

However, these demon energies were too abundant, as the digestion deepened, the sister-in-law also felt her emotions starting to grow irritable, her intent to kill becoming intense.

”No!”

”If this goes on, I might lose control too.”

”If I lose control, I will definitely hurt him!” the sister-in-law thought, looking at Lin Yuan.

At this time, a thought suddenly emerged in the sister-in-law’s mind, suggesting she leave this place and head to a mysterious location.

There, she could completely refine the demon energy and flames within her and maintain her consciousness.

”Yuan!”

”I have to leave for a while, once I refine these demon energies and flames, if I’m still alive, I will definitely come back for you.” The sister-in-law said with deep affection, gently stroking Lin Yuan’s face.

Having finally come back to life and reunited with her beloved, unless absolutely necessary, the sister-in-law was unwilling to leave Lin Yuan.

However, she understood that if she didn’t leave, she would be tainted by the demon energy and flames, losing her consciousness, and in that state, it would be hard not to hurt Lin Yuan.

To ensure Lin Yuan’s safety, she had to leave.

”Clang.”

The lid of the Vermilion Red Coffin opened, and Lin Yuan was pushed out from inside.

Then, the Vermilion Red Coffin transformed into a streak of red light, flew out of the well opening, and disappeared beyond the horizon.
