Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 263: Chapter 257: Successfully Infiltrating the Ghost King Faction Headquarters

Zhang Peng: ”?????”

Upon hearing Zhang Zhen’s shout, Zhang Peng was stunned!

In his mind, Zhang Peng thought, good grief, you’re truly shameless. Feng Wuji is already dead, yet you’re adding such a big son to his legacy.

If Feng Wuji knew, he’d jump out of his grave!

However, one must admit, Zhang Zhen’s shout did work.

Because Zhang Zhen was the first to speak, the reinforcements subconsciously believed Zhang Zhen’s words.

For a moment, the reinforcements stood there hesitantly, unsure of whom to support.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Peng was fuming.

”You bunch of idiots!”

”They are Lin Yuan’s men, hurry up and take them down for me!” Zhang Peng cursed angrily.

Zhang Zhen, though a bit of a rogue, showed some quick wit.

”I have a passage slip, but you’re deliberately blocking my way, clearly intending not to allow me to support the Ghost Leader!”

”Bold Zhang Peng, your Zhang Family has joined forces with the Liu Family and Huang Family to rebel!”

”And now, you dare to insult my brothers!”

”Zhang Peng, I won’t spare you!” Zhang Zhen raised the passage slip, cursed furiously, and charged at Zhang Peng.

Once Zhang Zhen mentioned the Liu Family and Huang Family, these people thought about it; if the Liu Family and Huang Family rebelled, then it’s not impossible for the Zhang Family to rebel too!

Moreover, Zhang Zhen had a legitimate passage slip in his hand! Zhang Peng had no reason to stop them!

Furthermore, Zhang Peng was cursing them, while Zhang Zhen was speaking in support of them.

For a moment, many directly attacked Zhang Peng, as if the Zhang Family had really rebelled.

Of course, among the crowd, there were those who had good relations with the Zhang Family, so naturally, they supported the Zhang Family.

In an instant, the scene devolved into a chaotic brawl.

The clash between Zhang Zhen and Zhang Peng had turned into an internal conflict within the Deceitful King Faction.

The battle erupted, making this place the focal point of the fight.

Ironically, this allowed Liu Family’s second son and the death warrior squad to infiltrate more smoothly.

...

...

By the lakeside, the battle between Lin Yuan and the Ghost Leader continued.

Both were Tier Four, in terms of combat power, they were evenly matched, neither having the assurance of victory.

”Buzz!”

A buzzing sound that resounded through the heavens erupted, and a scarlet light bloomed in the void.

At this moment, within the Ghost Leader’s Ant Empire.

Lin Yuan, wielding the Iron Blood Demon Bone Fan like Pangu splitting the heavens and earth, struck without any frills, directly shattering the Ghost Leader’s Ant Empire.

The endless scarlet light burst forth like an erupting volcano, brilliant and fierce.

The Ghost Leader’s empire was cleaved open, resembling a gaping canyon akin to a dragon.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan stepped forward.

Then, the Ghost Leader emerged from the field.

Now, both were clearly not in good condition.

Both Lin Yuan and the Ghost Leader were covered in numerous wounds.

Their wounds were imbued with each other’s Power of Laws, making them difficult to heal.

Visibly, both appeared extremely battered.

As the saying goes, simplicity is best.

At this point, any means seemed less effective for Lin Yuan compared to straightforward combat with real blades.

Ever since his debut, Lin Yuan had excelled in close combat.

Holding the Iron Blood Demon Bone Fan, Lin Yuan slowly advanced towards the Ghost Leader.

It seemed Lin Yuan’s strengths were precisely the Ghost Leader’s weaknesses.

The Ghost Leader was not adept at close combat.

Seeing Lin Yuan approach, the Ghost Leader gradually raised his hand, and the surrounding endless red mist swirled around him; instantly, a massive bird-like creature with a human face, standing dozens of meters tall, materialized before Lin Yuan.

This is....

One of the Buddhist Sect’s Dharma Guardian Deities.

Garuda.

In Buddhist legends, Garuda feeds on dragons, needing five hundred dragons a day.

Of course, the creature summoned by the Ghost Leader wasn’t a true Garuda.

Instead, it was formed by the red mist, possessing a slight degree of Garuda’s power.

”Chirp!”

The Garuda emitted a cry and charged at Lin Yuan.

As its wings spread wide, they stirred whirlwinds akin to a meat grinder, assailing Lin Yuan from all directions.

Lin Yuan remained fearless, wielding the Iron Blood Demon Bone Fan to summon tornados, countering the whirlwinds with tornadoes.

Next, Lin Yuan deployed the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo ability, the ”No Distance” pattern appeared, and in the next moment, Lin Yuan appeared behind the Ghost Leader.

From the Iron Blood Demon Bone Fan erupted scarlet, scorching demon flames, Lin Yuan used the fan as a blade, slicing towards the Ghost Leader’s shoulder with great force.

Lin Yuan had already realized that the Ghost Leader’s ant-like body was challenging to kill.

But as long as he could repeatedly injure him, the ants comprising his body would die.

As the number of dead ants increased, the Ghost Leader’s body would gradually diminish in size.

At the same time, the Ghost Leader’s soul would also suffer some damage.

If it continues like this, using prolonged tactics, the Ghost Leader could also be worn down to death.

Of course, Lin Yuan was not truly intent on dragging it out with the Ghost Leader, as he himself was also expending energy.

If the fight went on this way, it was hard to say who would give in first.

However, Lin Yuan had a backup plan; as long as the dispatched Death Warriors succeeded in blowing up the Deceitful King Faction headquarters, the Ghost Leader would inevitably be affected.

The fan blade turned into a sharp weapon, just as it was about to strike the Ghost Leader.

The Ghost Leader used a body-swapping technique, directly exchanging places with Garuda.

The next moment, Lin Yuan’s strike landed on Garuda’s body.

On Garuda’s body, Lin Yuan slashed a gash nearly two meters long.

This blow seemed to have angered Garuda, leading to even more fierce attacks against Lin Yuan.

Right at this moment, the Ghost Leader’s expression changed, as if he had noticed something.

”Lin Yuan?”

”You actually dared to send someone to infiltrate my base!” The Ghost Leader’s expression changed, turning to head back immediately.

The entire lakeside was enveloped in the Ghost Leader’s red mist, so the moment the Death Warriors reached the lakeside, the Ghost Leader sensed them.

The Ghost Leader wasn’t sure of the group’s intentions, but it was undoubtedly to his disadvantage.

However, at this moment, with the Ghost Leader wanting to leave, there was no way Lin Yuan would let him go.

Lin Yuan used the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo, sticking close in combat with the Ghost Leader, refusing to let him disengage from the battle.

”Ghost Leader, if you continue to be distracted, you might not survive!” Lin Yuan mercilessly struck.

Both were fighters of the same tier; the moment the Ghost Leader was distracted, Lin Yuan evaded Garuda’s attack and injured the Ghost Leader.

The Ghost Leader’s expression changed and he dared not be distracted again.

With Lin Yuan relentlessly sticking to him, he couldn’t disengage from the battle.

”Hmph!” The Ghost Leader snorted coldly, saying, ”Just a few people, even if they infiltrate my headquarters, it’s just a death wish.”

...

...

Deceitful King Faction Headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters was sparsely guarded.

Since the Liu and Huang Families’ rebellion, the Ghost Leader no longer trusted members of the other six great families.

Besides the Ma Family’s direct line, the Ghost Leader didn’t dare let others remain at the headquarters.

So now, at the Deceitful King Faction headquarters, it was all members directly from the Ma Family.

”It’s all Ma Family members guarding inside. With our numbers, we can’t forcibly break in. Thus, we can’t use force; we must use strategy!” said the second brother of the Liu Family in a deep voice.

The Death Warrior leader looked at the second brother of the Liu Family and asked, ”What’s the strategic method?”

It was agreed beforehand that before entering the headquarters, they would follow the second brother of the Liu Family’s suggestions.

After all, he was more familiar with Lin’an City and the headquarters.

The second brother of the Liu Family gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger, and slashed fiercely at his own abdomen, tearing the skin and flesh, with his intestines spilling out.

The Liu Family’s second brother held his wound, pushing his intestines back in, and endured the pain as he spoke to the Death Warriors beside him: ”You all should mildly injure yourselves too, light injuries will do, just don’t affect your subsequent actions.”

Upon hearing the second brother of the Liu Family, everyone hesitated not a moment, drawing their weapons and starting to cut themselves.

In an instant, they were all wounded, blood flowing, turning into bloodstained figures.

”Follow me!” The second brother of the Liu Family gritted his teeth and headed straight for the main entrance of the headquarters.

Rather than risking sneaking in through other parts, the second brother believed they had a better chance just boldly going through the front door.

This was reverse thinking.

Everyone thought a thief should climb walls or sneak through small holes, while the second brother of the Liu Family insisted on walking through the main gate.

”Who goes there!” As they approached, they were stopped by the Ma Family guards.

”I.....”

”We’re from the Zhang Family, there’s rebellion, many families have turned!”

”Outside, our Zhang Family’s defense zone is under attack!”

”Reinforcements, quick, send reinforcements!” the second brother of the Liu Family said weakly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave a glance to the Death Warrior leader beside him.

According to their plan, the Death Warrior leader grabbed the arm of a Ma Family guard and pleaded: ”Doctor, do you have a doctor?”

”Please help my brother, he can’t hold on much longer!”

”This...” The leader of the Ma Family guards at the gate hesitated.

”Hurry!”

”Right now, it’s only us Zhang Family that truly serve your Ma Family. Do you really want to see my brother suffer to death?” the Death Warrior leader shouted angrily.

Throughout the process, the second brother of the Liu Family and the Death Warrior leader spoke rapidly and non-stop.

This was to prevent them from having time to think.

The Ma Family guard hesitated too, reaching out to check the second brother of the Liu Family’s injury.

But upon pulling, the second brother of the Liu Family’s intestines spilled out.

”Ah!” With a cry of pain, the second brother stuffed his intestines back in, tightly covering his wound.

Injured like that, it must be real!

”Quick!”

”Take them to find a doctor!” the Ma Family guard leader ordered them.

Of course, he was cautious too, assigning two people to follow them to prevent any accidents.
