Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 104 - 102: Zhang Peng Has Completely Become Zhang Peng!
The other side.
After Zhang Peng fled, he grasped onto the Wind-Fire Wheel and was dragged hundreds of kilometers away to Tai Cheng before he dared to stop.
Thirty miles outside of Tai Cheng, there was an abandoned factory, where the Zhang Family had a safe house.
Hiding inside the safe house, Zhang Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on the floor, thinking of the Celestial King who fought to buy him time, Zhang Peng couldn’t help but tear up.
No wonder the Celestial King had treated him so well since childhood; it turned out the Celestial King was his real father.
Especially thinking about how the Celestial King gave up his life to buy him time to escape, Zhang Peng couldn’t help but feel touched.
"Lin Yuan, I will never reconcile with you!" Zhang Peng bit down hard and spat these words through his teeth.
At this moment, the blood from Zhang Peng’s broken leg had stopped, but ordinary Life Pattern Masters didn’t have the ability to regenerate limbs.
Looking at his broken leg, Zhang Peng showed a sinister grin: "Lin Yuan, you can’t imagine, you absolutely can’t imagine."
"I still have half a Blood Pill. This half Blood Pill can help me regenerate my limb."
"Just wait, the revenge for my broken leg, sooner or later I will return it all to you!"
After saying this, Zhang Peng took out the remaining half Blood Pill from his pocket and swallowed it.
Once the half Blood Pill was swallowed, Zhang Peng immediately felt a rush of heat all over.
Then, a tingling and itching sensation came from the stump of his right leg.
Soon, he noticed that flesh was starting to sprout at the stump, and the broken leg was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In about ten minutes, Zhang Peng’s broken right leg had fully grown.
This newly grown right leg, compared to the previous one, felt slightly unfamiliar but was otherwise identical.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"My leg grew back, my leg grew back!" Zhang Peng cheered joyfully, hopping around with his newly grown, yet unfamiliar, right leg.
However, at this moment.
Zhang Peng suddenly realized a serious issue.
It seemed that only his right leg had grown back.
The other severed parts hadn’t.
"Ah!" Zhang Peng was stunned, then held his empty groin and cried on the floor, "Wuwuwu!"
"Wuwuwu!"
"Kun’Er, my Kun’Er."
Had it been a whole Blood Pill, it would have been able to repair all of Zhang Peng’s injuries.
Unfortunately, the other half of this Blood Pill was used by the Day Traveler.
The remaining half was only enough to restore Zhang Peng’s broken leg.
Zhang Peng’s mental state had collapsed, completely collapsed.
He was, after all, the renowned human fire extinguisher experiencer, and now it was as if his qualification to use the human fire extinguisher had been stripped away.
This made it impossible for Zhang Peng’s mind to bear.
"Wait!"
"Yes, there’s still a way!"
"There are still two more Blood Pills, two more Blood Pills!"
"My Kun can still grow back!" Zhang Peng suddenly sat up from the ground, rejoicing wildly to himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Peng immediately pulled out his phone and called his uncle Zhang Yuandong.
"Dad!"
"Blood Pill, give me one of your Blood Pills!"
"I’m injured, after taking half a Blood Pill, my injuries haven’t fully healed!" Once the call was connected, Zhang Peng directly got to the point.
Back then, the Zhang Family got a total of three Blood Pills, and Zhang Peng, as the family’s battle strength, was allotted one.
The remaining two were kept by the Zhang Family Head, Zhang Yuandong.
Hearing that Zhang Peng was injured but had only taken half a Blood Pill, Zhang Yuandong on the other end of the phone was puzzled.
"You have one, don’t you?"
"Why did you only take half?" Zhang Yuandong questioned suspiciously.
"Half, the other half was used to save a member of a hunter squad."
"At the time, she had crucial information in her mouth!"
"Dad, there’s no time to explain, I’m injured and in the safe house in Tai Cheng, quickly send someone to bring me a Blood Pill!" Zhang Peng urged. As the Zhang family’s military asset, Zhang Yuandong certainly wouldn’t let anything happen to Zhang Peng.
Moreover, Zhang Yuandong was unaware that his driver was cuckolding him.
In Zhang Yuandong’s eyes, Zhang Peng was still his biological son, and saving his own son was a given.
After receiving Zhang Peng’s call, Zhang Yuandong immediately retrieved a Blood Pill and sent his trusted aide to deliver it to Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng waited in the Tai Cheng safe house for a whole day before the person delivering the Blood Pill arrived.
Seeing the Blood Pill placed inside the brocade box, Zhang Peng was filled with hope.
"Blood Pill!"
"Blood Pill, hurry give it to me!" Zhang Peng impatiently urged.
After getting the Blood Pill in his hand, Zhang Peng, like the Pigsy consuming the longevity fruit, swallowed the Blood Pill whole.
However, this time, after swallowing the Blood Pill, he didn’t feel anything.
After ten minutes, Zhang Peng reached out to touch, but found it was still empty.
"How dare you!"
"You actually dared to steal and swap my Blood Pill!" Zhang Peng shouted angrily, grabbing the neck of the person who brought the Blood Pill.
"Mast..."
"Master, I didn’t! I didn’t!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Even if you lend me a hundred guts, I still wouldn’t dare!" The person delivering the Blood Pill struggled to say.
"Nonsense!"
"This Blood Pill is fake, besides you, who else came into contact with it?"
"Quickly, tell me where you’ve hidden the real Blood Pill!" Zhang Peng’s hand applied slight pressure, and the person’s face turned red, almost suffocating.
"No!"
"Young master, this is real, it’s real!" The person delivering the Blood Pill was on the verge of tears, feeling he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"How bold!"
"Do you really think your young master is a fool?" Zhang Peng was furious. With a forceful twist, there was a cracking sound, and he snapped the person’s neck.
After tossing the body aside, Zhang Peng angrily called his uncle Zhang Yuandong, saying the Blood Pill had been switched.
Zhang Yuandong, a man who heads a major financial conglomerate, is far more intelligent than the average person.
After hearing Zhang Peng’s account, Zhang Yuandong fell into deep thought.
The Blood Pill is such a precious item, and those sent by Zhang Yuandong were trusted elders of the Zhang Family.
Thus, there was no possibility that the Blood Pill had been swapped.
Since the Blood Pill Zhang Peng consumed was genuine, there could only be another possibility.
The Blood Pill can only be taken once; a second time, it becomes ineffective.
"Peng’er, the Blood Pill should be genuine. I suspect it’s because you’ve already taken a Blood Pill once, so the second time was ineffective."
"Where are you injured? Come back first!"
"Once you’re back, we can look for similar treasures for treatment, or use modern medical methods," Zhang Yuandong spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Peng couldn’t hold back any longer and told Zhang Yuandong everything that had happened recently.
Of course, he certainly wouldn’t mention the incident between the Celestial King and his mother on a rainy night.
Zhang Peng was indeed reckless and impulsive, but he wasn’t a fool.
He definitely skipped over that story.
After hearing Zhang Peng’s narrative, Zhang Yuandong’s expression changed slightly, his face darkening as if about to drip water.
At the Zhang Family headquarters, Zhang Yuandong sat in the study without speaking for a full three minutes.
Zhang Yuandong said nothing, and Zhang Peng didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
Ever since childhood, Zhang Peng feared Zhang Yuandong; even now, as a Life Pattern Master, he still feared him.
"Well, Yang Dingguo!"
"He truly doesn’t take our Zhang Family seriously!"
"Luckily, besides Lin’an City, our financial syndicate needs to grasp other cities as well. I will propose to the president that the next city should be Peng City!"
"Peng’er, come back to recuperate first; you’ll eventually have the opportunity to seek revenge in Peng City!" Zhang Yuandong’s voice sounded over the phone.
The financial syndicate is difficult to deal with because, apart from harboring forces like the Ghost King Faction composed of Life Pattern Masters,
there are also many members of the financial conglomerate embedded within officialdom.
Currently, Lin’an City is entirely under the financial conglomerate’s control.
Of course, Lin’an City is just the beginning; the syndicate is not content with controlling only Lin’an City; they want more.
The Zhang Family holds considerable sway within the financial conglomerate.
Zhang Yuandong’s proposal would undoubtedly be seriously considered by the alien-like president of the conglomerate.
Peng City!
Once their financial syndicate controls Peng City, both Yang Dingguo and Lin Yuan will have to pay the price.
Another Blood Pill consumed, yet his Kun’Er had not regrown.
Zhang Peng had enough torment for today; his day had been a rollercoaster, one moment in heaven, the next in hell.
He was utterly exhausted.
For now, he could only return to the family and find alternatives for healing.
...
...
Peng City.
"Phew!"
"That Lin Yuan is truly terrifying! The boss and young master might be dead!"
"This place can’t be stayed in long; I have to return to headquarters!" Prajna whispered to herself, leaning against a tree for rest after running all night, utterly exhausted.
However...
At that moment, a figure appeared silently behind her.
Prajna had been running all night, both fearful and extremely exhausted.
Her vigilance had dropped significantly, and she didn’t notice the person behind her.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, Prajna felt a blow to the back of her head, and her vision went black as she collapsed limply to the ground like a heap of mud.
"You little bitch!"
"You sure run fast!" Day Traveler cursed angrily, stomping on Prajna’s face with his size 30 shoes.
Day Traveler then dragged the unconscious Prajna, disappearing into the woods ahead.
Though Day Traveler and Prajna were both part of the Zhang family’s hunting squad, they were highly antagonistic.
They often clashed; after the Night Traveler’s death, Prajna even gloated openly.
She’d frequently mock Day Traveler, calling her a jinx responsible for Night Traveler’s death.
She claimed whoever was close to Day Traveler would surely face premature death.
Today, with Prajna in Day Traveler’s grasp, she’s bound to face misery.
