Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 125 - 123: Master Qi and Master Ba, Soul Hooking and Spirit Seizing
The Golden Armor Zombie is considered invincible in physical form; since it’s impossible to break through its defense, perhaps it’s time to try a different approach.
Lin Yuan is convinced that it must have a weakness.
If it had no weakness at all, then the Golden Armor Zombie would be truly invincible among Tier Five Evil Spirits.
Right now, it’s the 2.0 version of the supernatural invasion, and at this stage, a Tier Five invincible evil spirit is unlikely to appear.
Moreover, until not long ago, this Golden Armor Zombie was still a Tier Six Evil Spirit.
To have advanced to Tier Five in such a short time is already quite rare; becoming invincible at Tier Five seems almost impossible.
The Golden Armor Zombie’s defense, which even the Power of "Obliteration" can’t break, is absolutely abnormal.
If one aspect is strong, it means there must be a fatal weakness.
Soul.
Lin Yuan has decided to gamble on the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul being weak.
With a single thought, Lin Yuan channels the power of the Black and White Impermanence Tattoo within him.
Suddenly, ghostly light emitted from his body, slowly forming two figures appearing behind Lin Yuan.
The one on the left is tall and skinny like a stick, his face pale as powder, with a bright red tongue hanging over his chest, and a face showing a expression somewhere between crying and laughing.
He holds a Soul-Suppressing Bell in his left hand and a Mourning Stick in his right, dressed in a white long robe, wearing a high-crowned hat with the words "Together in Wealth."
The one on the right is not tall but heavily built, his complexion as dark as charcoal, a face full of surly flesh, revealing a fierce look.
His entire body is wrapped in black chains like a flood dragon rising to sea, wearing a black long robe, with a high-crowned hat that also has the words "Peace Under Heaven."
Despite only having the power of Tier Six, the presence of Master Qi and Master Ba bring an eerie sense of oppression.
Upon seeing Master Qi and Master Ba, a cold glint flashes in the Golden Armor Zombie’s eyes.
Within his gaze is a trace of fear, but soon, it shifts to a fierce look.
As an evil spirit, it’s only natural to feel inherently fearful of deceitful officers like Master Qi and Master Ba.
However, upon realizing Master Qi and Master Ba’s powers are far below his own, the fear quickly turned into disdain, and the Golden Armor Zombie harbors ill intent, eager to eliminate Master Qi and Master Ba swiftly.
The Golden Armor Zombie looks Lin Yuan up and down, sneering, "Do you really think you can turn the tide with just these two Tier Six evil spirits?"
"Kid, let me give you some advice: while I haven’t changed my mind yet, you’d better make a quick escape!"
Tier Six Evil Spirit?
Black and White Impermanence are in spirit body form now, which happens to be tier six, so the Golden Armor Zombie regarding them as tier six evil spirits isn’t much of a problem.
The difference between Tier Six and Tier Five Evil Spirit is like that between clouds and mud; there’s a chasm-like gap in between.
And this divide is Deceitful Demon.
Thus, the Golden Armor Zombie truly does not view Black and White Impermanence with much regard.
Upon hearing the Golden Armor Zombie call them Tier Six evil spirits, Lin Yuan could clearly sense the anger of Master Qi and Master Ba.
They are legitimate Yin Spirits!
Their status cannot be compared to mere evil spirits.
Perceiving Master Qi and Master Ba’s anger, Lin Yuan promptly pointed at the Golden Armor Zombie and shouted, "Master Qi, Master Ba, help me extract his soul."
The Golden Armor Zombie’s body might indeed be strong, but if I let Black and White Impermanence employ the method of soul extraction, then how would sir handle it?
As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the "jingle" of the Soul-Suppressing Bell sounded.
With the sound of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, the previously arrogant Golden Armor Zombie’s body stiffened, and a look of struggle appeared on its face.
The attack of the Soul-Suppressing Bell is directed at the Golden Armor Zombie; evidently, this "jingle" sound is already affecting the Golden Armor Zombie.
"Ah!"
The Golden Armor Zombie roared in anger, seemingly breaking free from the influence of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, he stepped heavily forward, wielding the Coiling Dragon Fang Tian Halberd towards Black and White Impermanence.
"Jingle."
"Jingle-jingle."
The Soul-Suppressing Bell in White Impermanence’s hand was shaken more rapidly, and as the Soul-Suppressing Bell swung, cone-shaped energy sound waves rushed rapidly towards the Golden Armor Zombie’s ears.
The influence of the Soul-Suppressing Bell on the Golden Armor Zombie clearly still exists; the louder the bell, the slower the Golden Armor Zombie’s movement, and his steps become heavier.
At this point, Black Impermanence, Master Ba, also moved.
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh-whoosh."
Waves of netherworld aura surged, and the chains on Black Impermanence’s body rushed towards the Golden Armor Zombie’s direction like a flood dragon rising to sea.
Soon, those dark chains wrapped around the Golden Armor Zombie.
However, it seemed that the chains weren’t just wrapping the Golden Armor Zombie.
Because when the Golden Armor Zombie reached out to grab and tear off these black chains, he had grasped at empty air.
Master Ba’s dark chains are visible, but when you try to touch them, you can’t feel them.
The dark chains seemed to turn solid into void and then merged into the Golden Armor Zombie.
Superbly, the dark chains accurately bound the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul, tying it up securely.
Soul Hooker.
Master Qi and Master Ba’s task is to extract the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul.
From the moment the Soul-Suppressing Bell rang, it was all to test the strength of the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul.
The Golden Armor Zombie was still affected by the sound of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, indicating that its soul’s strength was still within the range that Master Qi and Master Ba could draw.
Thus, after probing the soul strength of the Golden Armor Zombie, Master Ba decisively took action.
The pitch-black chains turned from solid to ethereal, wrapping around the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul, and then fiercely pulling it outward.
In the dim light, one could faintly see a soul glowing with golden light, ensnared by the chains, being forcefully pulled by Master Ba.
However, the flesh is the container of the soul, and inherently holds a certain attraction to it.
Only when the flesh reaches the end of its natural life does this attraction to the soul disappear; only then can the Deceitful Officer easily draw the soul out.
If the flesh has not reached its natural end, forcibly drawing the soul becomes very laborious.
One must break the body’s attraction to the soul to draw it out.
The Golden Armor Zombie, being a Tier Five Evil Spirit, coupled with the nature of a zombie, naturally has an almost endless lifespan.
Since the Golden Armor Zombie had not reached the end of its life, Master Ba could only forcefully draw the soul.
Master Ba tried several times but still could not pull out the soul of the Golden Armor Zombie.
"Ding."
"Ding ding ding."
At this time, Master Qi shook the Soul-Suppressing Bell faster and faster, and with the continued ringing, the body’s attraction to the soul weakened.
Meanwhile, Master Qi wielded the Mourning Stick, which grew with the wind, swiftly reaching over a meter in length.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Master Qi’s Mourning Stick struck the back of the Golden Armor Zombie’s head, causing its soul to tremble continuously, almost dislodging it from its body.
This move by Master Qi was called the Overhead Strike, delivering three consecutive strikes that made the zombie’s brain "buzz."
The coordination between Master Qi and Master Ba required no further explanation.
Master Qi’s Mourning Stick delivered three continuous strikes, causing the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul to tremble, and seizing the opportunity, Master Ba exerted a sudden force.
"Creak."
"Creak, creak."
At this moment, one could even hear the black chains on Master Ba tightening, uttering a sound like they were about to break.
Then, Lin Yuan saw the soul of the Golden Armor Zombie forcibly being pulled out of its body.
However, it seemed that the Golden Armor Zombie was not willing to give up yet. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Countless golden threads, like spider silk, emerged from its body, extending and wrapping around the soul.
These golden threads were also exerting force, seemingly trying to pull the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul back.
After all, the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul and body were one; thus, when the golden threads began to exert force, they actually started to pull the soul back.
The golden threads, though thin, were by no means inferior to Master Ba’s black chains.
Seeing this, Master Qi raised the Mourning Stick and struck the golden threads.
However, these golden threads seemed elastic, instantly bouncing the Mourning Stick away.
At this moment, the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul was already being pulled back, and Master Qi’s and Master Ba’s hard efforts to draw the soul were about to be in vain.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something.
"Go!"
Lin Yuan summoned the Soul-Luring Lamp, from which a blazing flame emerged, burning the golden threads.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Crisp snapping sounds followed, as one after another, the threads snapped, and soon, all the golden threads were severed.
With all the golden threads broken, the Golden Armor Zombie completely lost its ability to resist.
Its soul was forcibly dragged out by Master Ba, and then Master Qi raised the Mourning Stick and struck heavily on the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul.
There is an old saying among folks, that when a willow branch hits a ghost, with each strike, it shrinks by three inches.
The effect of the Mourning Stick was significantly more potent than a willow stick, by hundreds, even thousands of times.
With each strike on the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul by the Mourning Stick, the soul dimmed by three degrees.
Indeed, the more it was struck, the more its soul weakened!
After striking more than a dozen times consecutively, the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul became so faint it was almost invisible.
With the final strike from Master Qi’s Mourning Stick, the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul completely dispersed.
At the moment the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul dispersed, its towering body collapsed with a roar.
Simultaneously, the surrounding Deceitful Demon disappeared in an instant.
The zombie kingdom, once as if cast from gold, returned to its original appearance of the Han Dynasty Film and Television City.
Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward and began searching the Golden Armor Zombie’s body.
Lin Yuan was looking for the Power of Rules carrier.
For instance, the previously hunted Mr. Yimu Wu’s carrier was that single eye.
With the dispersal of the Golden Armor Zombie’s soul, the carrier of the Power of Rules it possessed was naturally still on its body.
Lin Yuan’s purpose for coming was for the Power of Rules, so he naturally began searching the corpse immediately.
