Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Xi Huang was candid, no longer making futile resistance, letting Lin Yuan impose layers of restrictions within his body.

”Xi Huang, you’re overthinking it. As long as the Peacock Great Ming King is safe, you’ll naturally be safe too!” Lin Yuan performed the restrictions while responding.

”Sigh!” Xi Huang sighed and said, ”What’s the point?”

”Even if you trap me, it’s only for nine days at most.”

”The result won’t change.”

Lin Yuan understood what Xi Huang meant. Xi Huang’s words clearly showed he didn’t believe in Lin Yuan and his group’s chances.

In Xi Huang’s view, during the war in nine days, the World Honored would surely win.

By then, if Lin Yuan and his group lose, nothing will change.

However, Xi Huang was also determined.

Xi Huang decided to repay grievance with virtue. No matter how Lin Yuan treated him now, when the time came, he would find a way to save Lin Yuan’s life and bring him to Wa Huang’s Palace.

Lin Yuan’s aptitude was undeniable; Xi Huang thought to himself, staying by Lin Yuan’s side these few days would be a good opportunity to see his character and nature.

Lin Yuan looked at Xi Huang and asked, ”So, in Xi Huang’s view, do we have no chance of winning?”

”Heh heh!” Hearing Lin Yuan’s question, Xi Huang sneered twice and asked, ”Where is your chance of winning?”

”With so many people, you were sweating all over just to capture me. What’s more, nine days later, it’s a life-and-death battle between you and the World Honored.”

The Four Great Primordial Spirits are said to be Level One, while Xi Huang is considered half-step Level One.

As for the World Honored, his strength is unknown.

He’s definitely weaker than the Four Great Primordial Spirits but stronger than Xi Huang.

Because Xi Huang has a long way to go to reach Level One, while nine days later, the World Honored is about to advance to Level One.

The World Honored during the battle in nine days will be just one step away from Level One.

If he wins, he’s Level One; if he loses, it’s a complete defeat.

Xi Huang’s words left Lin Yuan speechless.

Considering Xi Huang’s words, it made sense that he wasn’t optimistic about Lin Yuan and his group.

Lin Yuan and his people had already used all their means to capture him.

Bear in mind, although their fight was intense, both sides were still restrained.

Neither aimed to kill the other or take their life.

But nine days later, they were to stop the World Honored from attaining enlightenment; the World Honored would definitely fight them desperately.

Even if Xi Huang didn’t see them winning, they had to fight this battle.

”Let’s wait and see!”

”Nine days later, we may not necessarily lose!” Lin Yuan said to Xi Huang.

Looking at the determined Lin Yuan, Xi Huang seemed infected by his spirit and said, ”Very well, I hope you’ll create a miracle to shock me.”

Over here, Lin Yuan and Xi Huang’s relationship was actually quite harmonious.

Since Wa Huang now didn’t want to make a swap, then Xi Huang would be detained for a while.

If Lin Yuan lost the battle nine days later, it would all be for naught.

At that time, with Wa Huang’s protection for the Peacock Great Ming King, there was a chance of preserving his life.

If Lin Yuan won nine days later,

he could leverage his victory, and with Xi Huang as a hostage, Wa Huang probably wouldn’t dare look down on him and would agree to the exchange.

...

...

Compared to the relatively harmonious relationship between Lin Yuan and Xi Huang, Wa Huang in Wa Huang’s Palace was furious.

Wa Huang looked at the cross-legged meditating Peacock Great Ming King and shouted angrily, ”Is this how your son-in-law conducts business?”

”Did you deliberately let Xi Huang send a message for you so your son-in-law could detain him and exchange him for your freedom?”

”I’m telling you, once you’re in my Wa Huang’s Palace, getting out won’t be easy.”

Listening to Wa Huang’s rage beside her, the Peacock Great Ming King opened his eyes and said calmly, ”You’re too narrow-minded.”

Wa Huang: ”???

Wa Huang’s eyes widened, turning crimson on the spot.

Wa Huang had just been infuriated by his son-in-law, and now by his father-in-law.

Encountering this pair of in-law relatives, Wa Huang was extremely vexed.

”What?”

”Did you dare call me narrow-minded?” Wa Huang said through gritted teeth, ”Do you believe I could slap you to death?”

The Peacock Great Ming King met Wa Huang’s eyes and calmly said, ”You wouldn’t.”

”If you kill me, what about your collection of the Power of Faith? Can your path advance further?”

”To you, your path is more important than your brother’s life.”

”Nonsense!”

Hearing the Peacock Great Ming King’s assessment, Wa Huang howled like a cat with its tail stepped on.

The Peacock Great Ming King was right; in Wa Huang’s heart, her path was most important.

She wished to surpass the other three Primordial Spirits; to her, this was definitively more important than Wa Huang’s life.

Otherwise, she would agree today to exchange the Peacock Great Ming King for Xi Huang.

Why not exchange?

Because she needed the Power of Faith, and the Peacock Great Ming King was key to collecting it in the future.

As they say, lies don’t hurt people, but the truth cuts like a knife.

Wa Huang was enraged because what the Peacock Great Ming King said was true.

”No need to say more!”

”Nine days later, when I return to the battle, I will have Lin Yuan release Xi Huang first!”

”Xi Huang was detained for delivering a message for me; I won’t act without principle.” With that, the Peacock Great Ming King slowly closed his eyes again.

The Peacock Great Ming King closed his eyes, ceasing to acknowledge Wa Huang.

At this moment, Wa Huang had no more means to deal with the Peacock Great Ming King.

Couldn’t beat him, couldn’t scold him.

”Hmph!” Wa Huang snorted coldly, turned, and left.

...

...

East Sea.

In Elder Bai’s palace.

After the battle with Buddha’s four main disciples and the four Demon Kings under the Demon Lord, the Anti-Buddha Alliance suffered heavy losses.

Almost one-third of their members died, not to mention the remaining ones were mostly injured.

Yet, they had only the last nine days left to prepare for battle.

”Everyone, take these remaining nine days to heal well and stay prepared!”

”I need to return to the Real World to find that elder and discuss a strategy!” Lin Yuan said to the members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance.

Guanyin Bodhisattva nearby said, ”Fortunately, there’s still some Pure Water left that was condensed from the Five Elements Essence borrowed from the Peacock Great Ming King. I’ll use Pure Water to help them heal.”

”Within nine days, their injuries will surely be healed.”

After Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, Elder Bai nodded and said, ”That’s good!”

”If that person takes action, our chances of winning will increase.”

They knew there was a master in the Real World.

One could say that the Dean in the Real World was a trump card for them against the World Honored.

”Elder Bai, keep an eye on Xi Huang, don’t let him run away!”

”In the battle nine days later, if we win, he will be the key to exchanging for the Peacock Great Ming King!” Lin Yuan instructed.

After instructing about the matters here, Lin Yuan returned to the Real World to meet the Dean.

The World Honored has nine days left to attain enlightenment, leaving them with not much time!
