Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

The child’s anger was justified. Three against one, their side could barely suppress Mu Qing. But with Wen Yu’s underhanded move, one could only imagine the situation for Mu Qing and the woman.

To say Wen Yu caused the woman’s death was completely justifiable!

Seeing the kid’s angry face and the old man’s increasingly cold gaze, Wen Yu scoffed.

”Want to kill me? Don’t you realize which side is the strongest here? If you kill me, Luo Hai’s squad will kill you, and then they’ll go help their teammates... TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK. One wrong move and the whole game is lost. Little friend, wipe your eyes and see clearly who your biggest opponent is!”

This was why Wen Yu hadn’t immediately pulled the old man and the boy to his side. If only Wen Yu, Tang Haofei, and Luo Hai were left on this battlefield right now, and the old man and boy were just teleported over, I really wouldn’t know who they’d attack first.

Luo Hai was indeed the mission target, but Wen Yu was also indirectly responsible for their teammate’s death!

This was a choice between duty and emotion. However, this choice depended more on each person’s personality, temperament, and way of doing things—in other words, it depended on the human heart...

But the human heart is unpredictable...

However, with Luo Hai’s squad now assembled, the situation became clear: as long as the old man and the boy hadn’t lost their minds, they had only one choice.

The pair’s decision surprised neither Wen Yu nor Luo Hai.

Seeing the old man not far away lock his gaze on him, Luo Hai shrugged slightly. ”Old man, that fellow caused your teammate’s death, didn’t he...”

”Partly so...”

The old man gently tapped the enormous pipe in his hand and, baring a large yellow tooth at Luo Hai, said, ”But isn’t your teammate, Mu Qing, the one currently fighting Yao Yao?”

CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.

From a distance, Wen Yu, unafraid of stirring up trouble, clapped his hands. ”Old man, you understand reason. This young one is impressed! Impressed!”

The old man turned his head and grinned at Wen Yu from afar, his mouthful of yellow teeth on display along with an increasingly cold gaze. Anyone could tell this was not a friendly smile.

If this old fellow gets a chance, he absolutely won’t be stingy with landing a heavy punch on Wen Yu!

He took a deep drag from his pipe, and the thick smoke filled his chest cavity. Then, the old man’s chest visibly swelled.

”Take out Luo Hai directly.”

The old man transmitted a mental message to the boy via Spiritual Fluctuation, his gaze slowly locking onto Luo Hai’s squad.

Seeing this, Luo Hai shook his head slightly. I initially wanted to stall for time here, to see if I could change the old man’s mind with words. But unexpectedly, while Wen Yu and I weren’t in a hurry, these newcomers certainly were!

They probably want to quickly resolve the battle here and go support the woman...

Wu Long’s four-person team had cooperated for many years, and their bond was unusually strong. In Luo Hai’s eyes, such sentiment was truly boring to death.

He transmitted a Spiritual Fluctuation to his teammates’ minds.

”Hawk, are your skills ready now?”

”All set, just need to trigger it!”

”Good. In a moment, Hawk, you tie down the old man. Ah Gui, you tie down the boy. Zang, you go kill the person next to Wen Yu. Remember, make it a quick battle. After you’re done, reinforce Ah Gui.”

The man called Zang, who was the last to arrive and also a Level 7 Breakthrough Achiever—currently the strongest among Luo Hai’s four-person team—nodded slightly, his gaze firmly locked on Tang Haofei.

As for Luo Hai, he glanced at the distant figure clutching dual guns and lightly licked the corner of his mouth.

”As for His Highness the Young Master, I’ll see him off personally...”

Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere among the eight people and the sudden end to their idle chatter, Wen Yu knew the time had come...

No matter how much planning or thought went into it, in the end, what decided everything was still battle, and only battle!

All the maneuvering and balancing acts Wen Yu had performed earlier were merely to make his final battle simpler and more advantageous. However, the true objective had always been singular: to completely obliterate the enemy in both body and spirit!

This was also why Wen Yu had always emphasized that strength was paramount—how does one defeat an enemy? Naturally, by killing them! And battle is the prerequisite for killing!

The long-unseen Palpitation and Mad Medley slowly materialized in his hands. In the absence of all his skills, weapons he had long since abandoned and hand-to-hand combat methods he had already discarded were now being picked up by Wen Yu once more.

The increasingly still and oppressive air, like the calm before a storm, cast a pall over everyone’s heart—all eight of them knew that likely only one squad would leave this area alive...

The survival rate is one-third. No, for me, this probability is likely even lower...

This continued until a sound like a wild beast’s snore reached the eardrums of the eight people present. The next second, the tranquil atmosphere instantly exploded!

WHOOSH...

The dense smoke rapidly transformed and brewed within his chest cavity, turning into a scorching torrent of air.

The next second, the old man opened his mouth wide. Thick smoke instantly spewed forth, transforming in mid-air into a ferocious, dark-red flaming dragon that lunged wildly towards Luo Hai’s position!

The instant the old man spewed out the smoke, the remaining seven figures vanished from their spots. The next second, a massive mushroom cloud billowed up from the battlefield.

Amidst the gunpowder smoke, the light of numerous skills flashed rapidly, and simultaneously, explosions rang out continuously like a string of firecrackers.

Level 7 individuals were already considered the backbone of the professionist system, and the strength of Tang Haofei and Wen Yu needed no further elaboration. The entire battlefield, in less than a second, switched from silence to chaotic slaughter. Immense energy was unleashed everywhere. In a brief instant, the small hillock where the eight had stood was razed to the ground!

The roaring flaming dragon surged forth. The old man, having just made his move, wasn’t idle either. Wisps of green smoke curled up from the top of his pipe, then transformed in mid-air, one after another, into ferocious-looking monsters that roared as they charged at Luo Hai’s squad.

However, the next second, amidst the chaos, a streak of greenish-yellow light flashed past the corner of the old man’s eye. Seeing the light about to strike him, the old man gently shook his pipe.

A large cloud of ash quickly sprayed out from the pipe. Like a layer of armor, the ash securely covered the old man’s body.

CRACK.

The greenish-yellow light struck the old man, making a crisp sound like an egg hitting a stone. The old man was completely unharmed, while the greenish-yellow light seemed to shatter, gradually dimming.

Seeing this, the old man slightly frowned.

The strength of this attack is pitifully low...

Just as the old man decided to ignore this inexplicable attack, the nearly shattered greenish-yellow light pulsed rapidly. The next second, the light violently erupted and then completely dissipated. However, a fissure resembling a space crack appeared where the greenish-yellow light had vanished.

A slender arm shot out from the space crack and grabbed the old man’s ash-covered ankle!

”Dimensional Maze!”

As echoes whose direction couldn’t be discerned resonated in his ears, the old man felt a sudden, immense force transmit from his ankle. In an instant, his body was actually dragged directly into the space crack!
