Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 64: Headless General, Half-Step Tier Five

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Headless General, Half-Step Tier Five

The young men of Peng City are inclined to martial arts and love fighting.

This is the place where the Han Dynasty originated.

The young men of Peng City have always been bold and passionate.

Now, they have awakened their Tattoo Power and have the strength to defend their homeland.

At this moment, no one will retreat.

Once the words left the lips of the beer-bellied middle-aged man, no one stepped back but instead moved forward in unison. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

They intend to actively engage the Yin Soldiers.

We, the young men of Peng City, advance without retreat.

If there is battle, there must be victory. If we do not win, our blood will stain the homeland, defending it to the death.

Soon, they met on a narrow path.

The two sides were less than five hundred meters apart, and the vast army of Yin Soldiers was already in full view.

A Headless General, over ten feet tall, wearing tattered armor and wielding a massive Wolf Fang Club.

Along with him, hundreds of Yin Soldiers.

Among them, three Yin Generals with Tier Seven strength, over thirty Yin Soldiers with Tier Eight strength, and the rest hundreds, all with Tier Nine strength.

This is a tough battle, the greatest crisis Peng City has faced since the Deceitful Charm invasion.

Drones in the sky were constantly monitoring, pushing updates of the situation to every survivor’s phone in real-time.

This battle is destined to be brutal.

After this battle, perhaps not even one in ten Life Pattern Masters who came to support would survive.

However, the officials want all survivors to see that the government hasn’t given up, and despite their limited power, they are still making efforts.

Similarly, officials want survivors to know that there are still so many unsung heroes among them.

The fierce Headless General, the grand army of Yin Soldiers, they exuded an almost tangible aura of death and malice.

The malice and death aura formed patches of dark clouds above their heads.

Dark clouds covered the sky, inevitably causing fear and oppression in people’s hearts.

At this time, the survivors of Peng City heard their phones ring with the latest updates about the Peace Bridge incident.

Many survivors opened the messages with trembling hands, holding their breath, watching the real-time synchronized footage with intense nervousness.

When they saw the Life Pattern Masters opposing the Yin Soldiers, the survivors of Peng City cried out in their hearts.

We must not lose!

We must win! We must win!

...

...

"Jie, jie, jie." Seeing the Life Pattern Masters who dared to block the way, the Headless General’s belly rose and fell, emitting an extraordinarily eerie laugh.

"Such pure power! Your souls and vital energies are comparable to tens of thousands of ordinary people!"

"By devouring you, I can grow my head back!"

"At that time, by consuming the vital energy and souls of the people of this city, my path will be complete."

The Headless General is not an ordinary Evil Spirit, comparable to a Deceitful Charm; he is a Tier Six Evil Spirit.

With his strength, in the world of Journey to the West, he would be considered a Little Demon King.

The Headless General had no head, and he spoke from his belly, with an extraordinarily eerie voice.

At the same time, the Headless General, along with his army of Yin Soldiers, began to emit a faintly glowing black light.

The black light spread like mist, and wherever it reached, all living things had their vitality stripped away.

Plants and trees withered, and birds, beasts, fish, and insects turned into dried corpses.

Fortunately, the surrounding personnel had been evacuated.

The black light emitted from the Headless General was too strong; most Life Pattern Masters present could barely withstand it using their Tattoo Power, with no means to fight back.

Even with strength like Lin Yuan and Bai Ling’Er, under the shroud of black light, it felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire.

"This...."

Lin Yuan’s expression was somewhat grim because he suddenly realized he had underestimated the Headless General and overestimated himself.

Though the Headless General was still Tier Six, he was at Tier Six Peak.

He was just one step away from Tier Five!

At this moment, Lin Yuan saw a tender sprout forming at the severed neck of the Headless General.

All it needed was to devour enough vital energy and souls, and the Headless General’s head could grow back.

For the Headless General, the day his head grows will be the day he steps into Tier Five.

It’s worth noting that this is still Deceitful Charm invasion version 1.0.

A Tier Seven Evil Spirit is already the top combat force in this version.

The appearance of the Tier Six Headless General would, in a game, be a system bug.

Yet, of all the Life Pattern Masters in Peng City currently, a Tier Six Headless General could still be challenged.

But if the Tier Six Headless General grew his head and became a Tier Five Headed General.

Then, not only would all present Life Pattern Masters die by his hand, the entire Peng City would be left without a single survivor, turning into a dead wasteland.

And now, the situation is far from optimistic.

The Headless General, with his black light alone, suppressed most Life Pattern Masters; at this moment, if he ordered the Yin Soldiers to attack.

In surprise, these Life Pattern Masters would suffer heavy casualties.

At that time, after the Headless General absorbed their vital energy and souls, he would become even stronger and more difficult to deal with.

Lin Yuan knows he can’t hold back any longer.

He is perhaps the strongest among these Life Pattern Masters present; if anyone could break through the Headless General’s black light, it would likely only be him.

He can’t continue to hide any longer, hiding further, this battle might not be won.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan said to Bai Ling’Er, "Let’s take action against the Headless General; they should be able to handle these Yin Soldiers."

"Alright!" Bai Ling’Er nodded in agreement.

However, just as Lin Yuan was preparing to act, Lü Dong, who had been standing at the front all along, stepped forward first.

"I, Lü Dong."

"Joined the military at eighteen, entrusted with important tasks by the organization at twenty-three, infiltrated dark forces as a spy."

"Undercover for eight years, eradicated the dark forces. Afterwards, I chose to retire."

"Retired three years ago, returned home to participate in grassroots work. Two years ago, I got married and have a lovely daughter."

"Once a soldier, always a soldier; if there is a battle, I will return when called."

"Since the Deceitful Charm invasion began, this has been the toughest battle I’ve faced. Perhaps, we might lose, but at least we fought hard."

When Lü Dong said this, he turned his head toward his fellow official Life Pattern Master companions behind him and said: "Surely you are curious why, since the Deceitful Charm invasion began, the organization has been intensely nurturing me!"

"At least a third of the Deceitful Qi you hunted has been absorbed by me."

"I know, you’re usually quite dissatisfied, many think I only absorb Deceitful Qi but don’t do any work."

"Some of you even secretly say I’m Elder Yang’s illegitimate son, a privileged connection. Right?"

"Absorbing so much Deceitful Qi, which should belong to you, my tattoo is already awakened. However, my tattoo is special; it can only be used once."

"Today, let me show you what my tattoo is."

"I am not Elder Yang’s illegitimate son, nor am I a privileged connection."

"I’ve been accumulating, waiting for the appearance of an Evil Spirit worthy of me using my tattoo."

"You are curious too, about what my tattoo might be?"

"Brothers, watch closely!"

"Today, let me Lü Dong burn through my brilliance, let me become a beacon in this vast darkness."

With these words, Lü Dong uttered a tearing sound, ripping apart his camouflage uniform.

Revealing the tattoo he got while undercover back then.

Perhaps, it’s not just a tattoo, it’s his merit.

His tattoo was unmistakably....
