Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 513: Chapter 95 The Horrifying Killing Scheme from the Outside World_2

「Further afield.」

A nearly fifty-meter-tall, grotesque demon spawn resembling an ape was surrounded by hundreds of irregular stones, each almost five meters in diameter. The ape-like demon spawn gazed towards the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, its eyes revealing a wild killing intent and brutality.

「Elsewhere...」

Amidst the boundless demonic tide, a small demon spawn, like an upright spider with eight arms and three pairs of eyes, carried a nearly three-meter-tall Giant Bow and Arrow. Its three pairs of tiny, green-glowing eyes swiveled relentlessly, as if searching for its next target.

There were only five demon spawn in total, but that wasn’t the real problem.

The biggest threat was a formation near the edge of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

A total of one thousand Ancient Demons stood in ten neat rows. An atmosphere of deadly silence spread out from this formation, with rampant Demonic Qi boiling above it, forming a pure black cloud.

The Demon Tribe had many high-ranking powerful experts, but their most terrifying aspect was still their endless armies. Among their army units, there were not only cannon fodder troops but also elite ones. The formation ahead, a super army composed entirely of Middle Stage Level 5 Ancient Demons, belonged to one of the top troops within the Demon Tribe’s Level 5 Army.

...

Wen Yu tilted his head upwards, striving to discern the scene in the sky.

The outer wall of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, which had turned from purple to blue, was becoming increasingly faint, and Wen Yu’s vision grew clearer.

Then, Wen Yu saw an enormous, flaming meteor...

”Run!!! Fast!!!”

The furious roar reverberated throughout the entire Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier. The next second, Wen Yu bolted towards the edge of the barrier.

...

「Inside the Red Stone Hotel.」

When the words ”Run Fast” rang out, Arthur already felt strong Energy Fluctuations rapidly closing in from above. Even though he didn’t know what it was, its energy level was undeniable... A skill of this energy level was absolutely unprecedented for Arthur. With a flicker of thought, Arthur instantly knew what he had to do.

Run! Run as far as possible!

After the duplicant lost its ability to move, Arthur easily slipped out of its wax-figure-like constraints, eager to rush out of the Red Stone Hotel, see with his own eyes, and determine what the unknown Energy Fluctuations overhead were.

Just then, a faint sob came from the direction of the basement.

Qin Shiyuan... She was still alive...

Ah... Sensing the Energy Fluctuations from above drawing ever closer, every cell in his body screamed danger signals to his brain.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Arthur’s eyes. Then, he gritted his teeth, turned, and rushed towards the basement.

...

BANG!

Arthur brutally kicked open the heavy iron door to the basement. The stench of blood, like a nauseatingly hot wave, hit him squarely in the face.

At a glance, Arthur saw Qin Shiyuan, hugging Annie and crying incessantly.

Taking large strides, Arthur moved swiftly, kicking away the duplicant of Qin Tian frozen behind Qin Shiyuan.

A harsh crack of bone sounded. The duplicant Qin Tian’s bone sword was still embedded in Qin Shiyuan’s shoulder. Due to Arthur’s rough action, the bone sword directly tore Qin Shiyuan’s arm off.

”AH!!!”

The extreme pain jolted Qin Shiyuan awake. Unfortunately, she couldn’t even manage the simple act of turning her head. Enduring the excruciating pain, she let out a heart-rending scream.

In this situation, Arthur had no time for tenderness. He swiftly retrieved a healing potion from his space ring, shoved it into Qin Shiyuan’s remaining hand, then scooped up both the woman and the child. Heedless of whether they could withstand his frantic speed, he bounded up the stairs.

...

Although he was awkwardly holding two people, Arthur’s fundamental strength was considerable, so his speed was barely affected; his arms, however, were not as free to move.

In less than ten seconds, like a charging heavy tank, Arthur had crashed headfirst through a wall of the Red Stone Hotel and into the street beside it.

Feeling the heat from the sky intensify and the sense of impending doom grow stronger, Arthur picked a direction and sprinted, glancing up at the sky.

The barrier of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier had become exceedingly thin, enabling Arthur to clearly see the situation above.

In the sky, a giant vortex, fully half the size of the entire Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, churned ceaselessly. Within the vortex, an enormous, blazing rock was ”struggling” to push its way out...

Seeing this, Arthur’s eyes widened. A word abruptly surfaced in his mind—meteor.

The Demon Tribe had actually summoned a meteor!!!

All sorts of thoughts quickly flashed through Arthur’s mind, and then he promptly quickened his pace.

For a Level 5 professionist, faced with an attack of this magnitude, any tactic was useless. Fleeing for one’s life was the only option...

...

Arthur’s realization that a meteor was falling was relatively late.

The first to spot the meteor was naturally Wen Yu. At that moment, Wen Yu had already fully activated his Pitch-Dark World, sprinting towards the edge of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

It wasn’t that Wen Yu wasn’t giving his all; the enemy was just too overwhelmingly powerful. Wen Yu didn’t know how long the Demon Tribe had been preparing this, but the situation was clear: the moment the meteor descended, if he didn’t get far enough away, the outcome would be death or grievous injury. Besides, with an unknown number of Demon Tribe powerful experts lurking outside, if he were injured, forget saving anyone; he’d be lucky to survive himself!

So... when disaster struck, it was every man for himself...

...

The second person to vaguely spot the meteor was Qin Tian.

The instant Wen Yu destroyed the control core, Qin Tian’s opponents—three duplicants—froze in place.

Qin Tian keenly noticed this shift.

With a few simple slashes, the duplicants, now immobile, found their defense capabilities to be as flimsy as paper.

After effortlessly tearing through the bodies of the three duplicants, Qin Tian looked at the perplexing battle situation, confused. After a good while, he finally understood.

Wen Yu must have succeeded, Qin Tian thought.

The next second, sensing the Isolation Barrier of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier slowly dissolving, Qin Tian surveyed his surroundings.

Demonic figures flickered outside—this was no surprise to anyone. The Demon Tribe would certainly establish another layer of encirclement beyond the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier; it was a simple tactic and strategy.

And this also meant the battle still wasn’t over!

Then, sensing some other commotion overhead, Qin Tian looked up and vaguely saw an enormous light source in the sky...

...

His vision was somewhat blurry, and Qin Tian tried to more carefully discern the unknown object in the sky.

It wasn’t until Wen Yu’s shout of ”Run! Fast!” echoed throughout the area that Qin Tian was jolted to his senses.

That... looks like a meteor...

The next second, Qin Tian turned abruptly, charging towards the Red Stone Hotel.

Although that direction was closer to the meteor’s impact center... Although, by doing this, he was potentially exposing himself to grave danger... But, that was his only family...

At this thought, Qin Tian instantly grew anxious.

Judging by the meteor’s formation speed and energy level—even if he rushed back to the Red Stone Hotel, he probably couldn’t escape the meteor’s blast radius. He himself wouldn’t die, but Qin Shiyuan would definitely be obliterated by the shockwave.

However, for Qin Tian, even if hope was slim, he had to try.
