Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 179 - 173: Tier Five Battle

Tang City.

In the underground parking lot of an abandoned building, in the shadowy environment, there stands a temple.

This temple was built by an evil organization. If one could get hold of a map outlining all the temples built by the evil organization in Tang City,

one would discover that this temple is located at the very center of all the temples.

The surrounding temples are like the petals of a lotus flower.

And this temple is the heart of the lotus.

At the entrance of this temple, a curly-haired teddy dog lay sprawled.

Undoubtedly, the stray dogs in the city are under its control.

Through the shared vision of these stray dogs, the curly-haired teddy has already seen Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and their team.

"Master!"

"They are coming, they are all coming!" The teddy at the door bounced and sprinted towards the temple.

Suddenly, a black stone Buddha in the temple slowly opened its eyes; this stone Buddha is a blue-faced, fang-toothed evil Buddha, resembling a malicious apparition.

He is the Tier Five Evil Spirit from the Mysterious World, the master of this deceitful demon.

However, he is not an ordinary Tier Five Evil Spirit, but a Tier Five Peak, with half a foot stepping into Tier Four.

He descended into this world to find a real opportunity to step into Tier Four.

In the Mysterious World, his name is Great Black Heaven.

Within the temple, to the left and right of Great Black Heaven, there are two stone Buddhas on each side.

These four stone Buddhas, like Great Black Heaven, have blue faces and fang teeth, appearing more like demonic apparitions from Hell than Buddhas.

"Awaken!" Great Black Heaven’s voice echoed within the temple.

As Great Black Heaven’s voice sounded, the fierce stone Buddhas on both sides slowly opened their eyes and began to awaken.

These two stone Buddhas, flanking him, are the Four Directions Attendants of Great Black Heaven, spirits that have submitted to him.

Though merely attendants of Great Black Heaven, their strength is formidable.

The Four Directions Attendants, all possess Tier Five Evil Spirits of deceitful demon strength.

"Master!"

"Master, Master!"

After the Four Directions Attendants awakened, they called out in unison to Great Black Heaven.

"The opportunity we’ve been waiting for has arrived!" Great Black Heaven’s voice echoed in the temple.

Great Black Heaven had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for him to ascend to Tier Four Evil Spirit.

He had been waiting for Lin Yuan, Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and these masterful fighters to arrive.

To step into Tier Four, Great Black Heaven needs to completely merge his deceitful demon with the Real World.

However, he descended too early.

At this stage, the Real World and the Mysterious World are not deeply converged.

The Real World has a repelling force against deceitful demon, making it hard for his foreign deceitful demon to merge with the Real World.

But it’s not impossible to merge them.

This method is through a blood sacrifice.

By offering a blood sacrifice of people from the Real World, using their blood as the catalyst to merge Great Black Heaven’s deceitful demon with the Real World.

Upon just descending into this world, Great Black Heaven wanted to blood sacrifice all the survivors of Tang City.

But he calculated that the survivors of Tang City were not enough.

Especially the strong ones, there were far too few strong ones in Tang City.

For someone like Lin Yuan, the strength of a blood sacrifice could at least match that of tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Upon determining that sacrificing all survivors in Tang City wouldn’t fully merge his deceitful demon with the Real World,

Great Black Heaven began to fish, using these survivors of Tang City as bait, waiting for people from outside to come and rescue them.

Indeed, Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, Ling Guang, and others brought people here.

The officials sent these people, seen as big fish by Great Black Heaven.

As for Lin Yuan, he was an unexpectedly big fish.

Lin Yuan’s accidental entry into the deceitful demon was unforeseen by Great Black Heaven.

With more people with Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang, Great Black Heaven naturally chose them as the target.

He’d deal with their larger group before turning to Lin Yuan’s smaller group.

...

...

Jian Bing and their team were on the move, not slowing down, now less than twenty miles from Tang City’s refuge.

At that moment, an evil aura suddenly enveloped them all.

Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang instantly felt a spine-chilling sensation, being top fighters among humans.

They were highly sensitive to such sinister auras.

This wasn’t the first time they had felt this aura.

This was the aura of a Tier Five Evil Spirit, and it wasn’t just one.

Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang seemed to realize something, their expressions serious, looking sharply ahead.

The skin-crawling feeling intensified, and soon, their bodies stiffened on the spot.

One moment, there was nothing ahead; the next, four bald men in monk robes appeared.

The four bald-headed monks in robes are precisely the Four Directions Attendants who have reawakened.

The reawakened Four Directions Attendants, just from appearances, don’t seem much different from humans.

Apart from their somewhat fierce looks, there doesn’t appear to be any other abnormalities. The Four Directions Attendants emit clear fluctuations of their realm, indicating they are clearly Tier Five Evil Spirits.

Zhi Ming glanced at Jian Bing beside him, slightly furrowing his brows and lowering his voice, "Four Tier Five Evil Spirits, that’s a bit tough to handle!"

Zhi Ming, Jian Bing, and Ling Guang, all possess the strength to single-handedly face Deceitful Demons and battle Tier Five Evil Spirits head-on.

However, there are only three of them!

Now, they are facing four Tier Five Evil Spirits.

If they knew that besides these four, there was a stronger Great Black Heaven hidden in the shadows, even the three of them would be scared out of their wits.

"No wonder this Deceitful Demon realm is so large; it turns out, it’s a fusion of four!"

"These four powerful Tier Five Evil Spirits combined their Deceitful Demon realms, making it so vast?" Ling Guang speculated.

However, Ling Guang was entirely wrong; none of it was correct.

After becoming servants of the Great Black Heaven, the Four Directions Attendants voluntarily merged their Deceitful Demon realms into that of the Great Black Heaven.

It was precisely because of this that the Great Black Heaven’s Deceitful Demon realm became so vast.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. After the Four Directions Attendants abandoned their own Deceitful Demon realms, they gained partial authority within the Great Black Heaven’s realm.

In this Deceitful Demon realm, the authority of the Four Directions Attendants is only second to the Great Black Heaven.

Therefore, when the real fight begins, the Four Directions Attendants can still leverage the realm to take the initiative.

"Since they’re here!"

"Then let’s kill them!" Though Jian Bing is a woman, she acts swiftly and decisively when making a move.

As soon as she finished speaking, she activated her tattoo ability.

The White Tiger armor instantly formed on her body as a White Tiger Battle Saber appeared in her hand.

The White Tiger Battle Saber she wielded is similar in style to the legendary Cyan Dragon Crescent Blade of Guan Yu.

Except, the Cyan Dragon Crescent Blade has a dragon coiled on it, whereas Jian Bing’s White Tiger Battle Saber has a crouching white tiger on its back.

The White Tiger Battle Saber is nearly three meters in length, and its weight is difficult to estimate.

Considering its style and length, its weight is likely not insignificant.

Yet, with this massive saber, Jian Bing maneuvers it as if it’s an extension of her own body.

Bear in mind, Jian Bing is a striking beauty with a cold, lofty demeanor, complete with white hair and blue eyes!

To see such a goddess-like girl wielding such a large saber in battle is truly astonishing.

If Jian Bing’s weapon were a sword or a short knife, the scene wouldn’t feel so discordant.

Truth be told, Jian Bing is fierce in battle.

"Boom!"

Zhi Ming and Ling Guang hadn’t even reacted when Jian Bing was already engaging in combat with the four monks.

The Four Directions Attendants also drew their own weapons—zen staff, crescent-moon shovel, cudgels, and more—and went forward.

The White Tiger Battle Saber in Jian Bing’s hand clashed with the crescent-moon shovel and zen staff of the Four Directions Attendants. In an instant, terrifying energy transformed into tangible ripples, spreading outwards.

Dust and debris filled the air, engulfing their figures.

At this point, Zhi Ming and Ling Guang finally reacted, quickly joining the battlefield.

"The rest of you, retreat first!"

"Head to the official refuge; we’ll meet at the entrance of the official refuge!" With a large iron hammer in hand, Zhi Ming entered the battlefield, not forgetting to instruct his subordinates.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

If they stayed here, an unintentional wave of power could easily take their lives.

Moreover, the purpose of bringing them was to eliminate Low Tier Evil Spirits.

Against these boss-level Evil Spirits, they are no match.

The official action team is highly disciplined and receptive to advice.

They wouldn’t dilly-dally here, insisting on helping while actually being burdensome.

Upon hearing Zhi Ming’s order, they swiftly circumvented the battlefield and continued towards the refuge.

The Four Directions Evil Spirits didn’t block them; there was no need to.

Currently, in this whole Deceitful Demon realm, the only threats to them are Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, Ling Guang, and Lin Yuan.

If they could deal with these four, everyone else, whether ordinary survivors or Life Pattern Masters, would be as good as trapped.

Among Jian Bing, Zhi Ming, and Ling Guang, Jian Bing is the most powerful, Zhi Ming has strong defense but lacks offensive techniques,

As for Ling Guang, though talented, he’s too mischievous and doesn’t apply himself.

Therefore, of the three, Ling Guang is the weakest.

Three against four, they are at a slight numerical disadvantage.

Jian Bing pulled the two into her battle zone, allowing Zhi Ming and Ling Guang to each face one opponent.

Jian Bing wielded the White Tiger Battle Saber, taking on two foes alone, the saber’s cold gleam relentlessly fierce, her attacks exceptionally ferocious.

The two of the Four Directions Attendants exchanged no words, merely glancing at each other, yet they coordinated seamlessly, working together to counter Jian Bing.

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

The White Tiger Battle Saber continuously struck against the zen staff and Demon-Subduing Pestle, the three battling fiercely back and forth.

Jian Bing, despite being a woman, displayed no weakness facing two opponents.
