Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 283: Chapter 75: The Strength of Kuangliu_1

The giant serpent demon spawn unleashed its second ability.

Shedding (SS-Class, Active Ability): An ability only super-powerful serpentine creatures possess. Once triggered, it permanently reduces the user’s physique points by 10, leaves behind a snakeskin at the original location, and allows the user to teleport anywhere within a 1,000-meter radius!

This was a terrifying life-preserving ability!

The giant serpent demon spawn had already returned to the Ancient Demon spawn’s side, glaring maliciously at Star.

Star, in turn, stared fiercely at the two demon spawns, then at the eight distinct-looking Level 4 demon fiends standing behind the Ancient Demon spawn. Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips slightly, Star glanced at the large, bloody hole in his body, which was already moments from healing completely. Then, he launched an attack against the ten demon fiends!

Watching Star’s ferocious advance, the Ancient Demon spawn’s brow furrowed. With a swift glance at the eight Level 4 demon fiends behind it—weakened to mere dregs by the Dragon’s Aura Field’s suppression—it quickly ordered, ”You lot, go and kill those two humans! You!”

The Ancient Demon spawn pointed at the Soot Skin Demon Fiend.

”Activate Blood Beast immediately.”

Following the Ancient Demon spawn’s command, seven demon fiends from its rear immediately advanced towards Wen Yu and Kuangliu, who were already encircled by eight Level 4 demon fiends. Simultaneously, the Soot Skin Demon Fiend that remained in place began to emit bursts of crimson light from its eyes! The two demon spawns, meanwhile, were already rushing rapidly towards the advancing Star!

「...」

At this moment, Wen Yu and Kuangliu were facing an onslaught from eight demon fiends!

Wen Yu currently possessed only 200 physique points, while Kuangliu had around 230. Facing eight Level 4 demon fiends, their battle looked incredibly difficult! A barrage of diverse abilities relentlessly hammered the area, putting Wen Yu and Kuangliu in an extremely precarious situation!

Of course, this was merely how it appeared on the surface!

Although these demon fiends possessed Level 4 physiques, the situation was similar to the Human Race: among Level 4 professionists, there were Sequence-class experts like Wen Yu and Kuangliu, but also average ones like Fang Wenhai. At the Level 4 stage, rank was clearly no longer the primary factor determining combat strength! And among these eight Level 4 demon fiends, there were no Ancient Demons, nor any particularly strong powerhouses!

Wen Yu even found the time to steal glances at the battles involving Star and Cyclops! Star’s side was hardly a concern; Wen Yu had immense confidence in Star’s strength. However, the two creatures with black crystals on their heads, resembling Giant Eagles, appeared to be extremely difficult opponents. Cyclops and Faceless, on the other hand, were currently unleashing their might, sending the opposing demon fiends scrambling in disarray! Unfortunately, among the opponents faced by Cyclops and Faceless, a Bone Demon and a Bull Demon were performing exceptionally well, preventing the two soul pets from breaking the stalemate.

”Hey, hey, hey... what are you looking at?” Kuangliu, beside him, grumbled continuously while raising his battle saber to shatter an ice-based skill. ”Compared to your soul pets, our performance is utter trash. Aren’t you going to come up with something?”

Wen Yu, however, had the leisure to banter with Kuangliu. ”You’re not doing much either!”

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Kuangliu pursed his lips, then swung his battle saber to drive back a Level 4 demon fiend. Seeing the Ancient Demon spawn dispatch another seven demon fiends to charge furiously in their direction, Kuangliu glanced at the composed Wen Yu and couldn’t help but sigh internally. ”You seem relaxed enough, but I’m worried about those demon fiends heading for the forward outpost...”

”In that case... playtime’s over!!!”

Accompanied by Kuangliu’s furious roar, his body began to flicker with crackling lightning!

Thunder (SS-Class, Active Ability): Wielding the power of lightning to enact Heaven’s punishment! This ability, much like Cyclops’s Flames of Tyranny, can produce countless variations.

As a human, Kuangliu’s application of this skill was far superior to that of Cyclops! The lightning surrounding him was quickly absorbed into Kuangliu’s body. He looked as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, his hair standing on end, followed by a surge of immense power from within! He used the power of lightning to drastically boost his physique and simultaneously heighten his reaction speed! This was a special application method for Thunder that Kuangliu himself had developed!

Violent crackling sounds erupted continuously from Kuangliu’s body. Then, with an explosion of immense power, he slashed his battle saber at an oncoming Level 4 demon fiend! The power of thunder roared along the blade. The originally two-meter-long massive battle saber, now wreathed in blue lightning, instantly extended to five meters! With a single slash, this Level 4 demon fiend was torn to shreds!

Then, a brilliant white light suddenly enveloped Kuangliu’s body. Under its protection, incoming abilities or attacks couldn’t affect him in the slightest!

Invincible (SS-Class, Active Skill): Once activated, the user will not receive any damage for 10 seconds!

Kuangliu, cloaked in white light, appeared like a demigod, ceaselessly unleashing massive arcs of blue-white blade light, sending the surrounding demon fiends scattering in panic!

Then came Kuangliu’s third ability!

White Tiger’s Divine Might (SSS-Class, Active Ability): Summons a phantom of the White Tiger to envelop the user, tremendously enhancing their power and providing a five-fold boost to their physique! Simultaneously, the White Tiger phantom will autonomously engage surrounding enemies! The White Tiger only uses physical attacks, and its attack power is comparable to the host’s own physique!

Wen Yu was rendered speechless at the sight of the colossal White Tiger phantom, nearly 20 meters tall, enveloping Kuangliu.

It wasn’t clear whether Kuangliu had gained this ability because he was known as the War God White Tiger, or if he had received the title *after* obtaining the skill!

But there was no doubt that Kuangliu’s own strength was absolutely terrifying!

At least, without his soul pets, Wen Yu knew he would be no match for Kuangliu!

Then, the White Tiger phantom enshrouding Kuangliu let out a soul-shattering roar as his fourth ability activated!

Slaughter (S-Class, Passive Ability): In any single battle, the more enemy units killed, the greater the increase to physique. Simultaneously, the speed of stamina recovery will increase dramatically!

The combination of these four S-Class or higher abilities formed the military’s strongest human expert—the War God White Tiger! He was also the Human Race’s Sequence Number 3!

Rampant power surged continuously from Kuangliu’s body. Under the terrifying physique-boosting effects, his physique points soared to nearly 2,000 in a short period! Combined with the massive White Tiger phantom enveloping him, this man became a nightmare for the Demon Tribe members currently besieging Wen Yu and Kuangliu!
