Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 132 - 130: The Real Master Appears
Ox Head and Horse Face, along with Black and White Impermanence, joined forces to battle the nine Trickster Children. These nine Trickster Children were not weak.
All nine Trickster Children had the power of Tier Six Evil Spirit. Together, they could indeed match up with Black and White Impermanence, as well as Ox Head and Horse Face.
Of course, the main fighters were Master Qi, Master Ba. Ox Head and Horse Face had already fallen behind in the Supernatural Invasion 2.0 version.
"Alas!"
"Looks like once we get back, we’ll have to let Ox Head and Horse Face work as security in the shelter!" Lin Yuan thought, looking at the somewhat lackluster Ox Head and Horse Face.
Master Qi and Master Ba were all about action, not words. Master Qi’s Soul-Suppressing Bell and Mourning Stick would strike a Trickster Child and send him tumbling.
Master Ba was even more violent, with black chains emitting searing fiendish flames, constantly whipping the Trickster Children.
As for Ox Head and Horse Face, they were both chasing and beating the weakest Trickster Child, number 9.
The gods and demons were all showing off, while number 9 was just getting beaten.
From the battlefield situation, Master Qi and Master Ba seemed to be slaughtering wildly.
However, if you looked closely, the situation seemed to be balanced.
In fact, it seemed as if the Trickster Children didn’t suffer much injury.
Just then, Master Ba’s chain struck one Trickster Child, leaving a ferocious wound on him with the scorching black flame.
However, only a moment later, the ferocious wound instantly healed as if it had never been hurt.
What the hell?
Another one with extremely strong healing ability?
Why do all these Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charms have such formidable recovery powers?
Lin Yuan observed carefully again and found it was true.
Every time a Trickster Child was injured, whether lightly or seriously, it was just a blink of an eye before it returned to normal.
No wonder it appeared on the surface that Master Qi and Master Ba were slaughtering away and defeating the Trickster Children.
However, upon closer inspection, the situation was balanced, and they couldn’t inflict any substantial harm on the Trickster Children.
No wonder!
No matter how grave the wounds the Trickster Children suffered, they could return to their prime in the blink of an eye.
Continuing the fight like this, even after a hundred years, it would result in a stalemate.
After a careful observation, Lin Yuan seemed to discern something.
At this moment, Lin Yuan activated his Yellow Springs Road Tattoo to appear directly behind one Trickster Child. Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword was unsheathed, piercing through the Trickster Child’s chest.
Then, the Soul-Luring Lamp appeared, engulfing the Trickster Child in searing flames.
"Ah!"
"Ah! Ah!"
The Trickster Child let out heart-wrenching screams while being burned by the flames.
As the flames consumed him, the Trickster Child was burned to ashes.
It seemed that he was utterly destroyed.
However, it only seemed so.
Because, in the next second, the Trickster Child burned to ashes by Lin Yuan reappeared out of thin air.
Lin Yuan’s attack was just a test.
A test to see if his hypothesis was correct.
And now, indeed, his hypothesis was correct.
Not only could these Trickster Children recover instantly from injuries, but they could also resurrect even when killed.
Lin Yuan guessed the reason behind this: the nine children shared the same fate, bound together. To harm them, one must injure the same part of all nine at the same time.
Similarly, to kill these nine Trickster Children, one must kill all of them simultaneously for them to truly die.
Otherwise, you encounter situations like this.
Injure one, and he recovers in the next second.
Kill one, and he also resurrects in the next second.
Unless you can simultaneously harm or kill all nine Trickster Children, otherwise, it’s a futile effort.
Now that he had seen through the Trickster Children’s fatal flaw, Lin Yuan decided to take action.
If the Mother Gu didn’t appear, he would force her out.
If he killed her nine Trickster Children, surely she would appear and fight desperately.
"Master Qi, Master Ba, trap them!" Lin Yuan shouted.
As soon as his words fell.
"Ding."
"Ding ding."
The continuous ringing of the Soul-Suppressing Bell sounded, and the black chains on Master Ba extended rapidly, forming a square cage that trapped all nine Trickster Children inside.
The nine Trickster Children scurried around inside the chain cage, trying to escape.
However, although there were gaps between the chains, they emitted searing black flames.
The Trickster Children seemed somewhat afraid of the black flames, wanting to squeeze through but fearing the fire burning them.
Trickster Child number 1 was the smartest, but also the largest.
He seemed to realize that staying trapped here led only to a dead end.
The desire for life restrained his fear of the black flames.
After all, during the battle earlier, they confirmed that the black flames could only hurt them, not take their lives.
Trickster Child number 1 darted forward abruptly, attempting to squeeze out of the chain cage.
"Boom!"
Just as his head squeezed through, Master Qi’s Mourning Stick knocked him back inside.
With Trickster Child number 1 setting an example, the other Trickster Children suppressed their fear of the black flames and started trying to escape.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Master Qi’s Mourning Stick swished through the air with a whooshing sound, as if playing a game of whac-a-mole, repeatedly knocking the Trickster Children back.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan also summoned the Soul-Luring Lamp.
The Soul-Luring Lamp flew above the chain cage, spilling mixtures of rainwater and lamp oil, and then....
"Boom."
The golden flames rapidly engulfed the entire chain cage, spreading over all the trickster children.
All nine trickster children were simultaneously surrounded by the fire, struggling in pain within the flames.
Given the current situation, in just a matter of seconds, these nine trickster children would be burned to the point of soul dispersion.
If they die together, they’ll truly never revive again.
"Plop."
"Plop, plop."
The rain kept falling, but now it was different from before.
The rain had a heavy bloody odor, and the rain in the air had all turned into blood rain.
The blood rain fell on the trickster children, extinguishing the flames on them.
However, by this time, the nine trickster children were already scorched all over, weakly lying there, motionless.
Since all nine trickster children were injured together, they couldn’t recover for the time being.
The surrounding Yin energy became dense, deceitful Qi was eerie, utterly terrifying.
Lin Yuan seemed to be able to feel the Mother Gu’s wrath.
As expected, when the nine trickster children truly faced a life-threatening situation, the Mother Gu couldn’t sit still.
That Mother Gu, who had been hidden somewhere unknown, appeared.
Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword.
Soul-Luring Lamp.
Qiankun Umbrella.
Deceitful Gate Gate.
Naihe Bridge.
Lin Yuan instantly summoned all his tattoo abilities, preparing for the battle that might arrive at any moment.
Looking at everything he had experienced in the Deceitful Demon thus far, this Mother Gu was definitely the most difficult Tier Five evil spirit he had faced to date.
"Help!"
"Help...."
A cry for help rang out, then just as the plea escaped, a sound of throat grasping followed.
The plea for help was very familiar.
It was the little sister-in-law.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain.
However, Lin Yuan couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
"Master Qi, Master Ba, please keep an eye on these little brats!"
"I’ll go save someone first!" With those words, Lin Yuan used Yellow Springs Road and appeared at the location of the cry for help the next second.
At the moment, the little sister-in-law was hanging by a red rope from a tree, her face pale, about to suffocate.
If Lin Yuan had arrived a moment later, the little sister-in-law would have been hanged to death here.
Lin Yuan swung his sword, cutting the red rope with his sword Qi, causing the little sister-in-law to fall heavily into a mud pit on the ground.
Though dirty, he at least saved her life.
Without paying much attention to the little sister-in-law, Lin Yuan immediately used Yellow Springs Road to quickly return to the ancestral hall.
This was certainly Mother Gu’s ploy to lure him away, but Lin Yuan had no choice but to save her.
While Lin Yuan went to rescue the little sister-in-law, Mother Gu surely went to save the trickster children.
Lin Yuan could only gamble, gamble that his Yellow Springs Road speed would be fast enough.
However, reality proved him wrong.
When Lin Yuan returned, the nine trickster children trapped were already rescued; clearly, Master Qi and Master Ba failed to stop the rescuing Mother Gu.
Unexpectedly, this Mother Gu seemed to come just to rescue the trickster children.
She left immediately after rescuing the trickster children without wasting any time.
Even though Lin Yuan had injured her trickster children this badly, she didn’t seem to want revenge on Lin Yuan.
Just as Lin Yuan was pondering what the Mother Gu was up to, a figure staggered from afar.
It was the little sister-in-law.
She was drenched, her buxom figure covered in mud everywhere.
"How did you get caught?"
"Did you see what she looked like?" Lin Yuan asked.
The little sister-in-law shook her head, answering with a confused expression: "After you left, I was very worried and couldn’t sleep."
"I just drifted off into a daze and somehow fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself hanging from a tree."
"I called out for help instinctively, and then suddenly sank, the rope tightening around my neck, and I couldn’t make a sound."
"Then, you came."
Listening to the little sister-in-law, Lin Yuan sighed and said: "That Mother Gu is too crafty, using you as bait to draw me away so she could rescue the nine trickster children."
"What...."
"What, nine trickster children?" The little sister-in-law looked utterly shocked.
Having nine born at once, this thing is indeed quite unbelievable.
If it were a human, certainly it couldn’t be born.
But this thing is a deceitful, she’s not human!"
Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, there are nine trickster children in total."
"The trickster child you were feeding is the largest, and there are eight others. By the way, I also saw another nanny like you."
"This is not the place to talk, let’s go to the ancestral hall..."
Watching the little sister-in-law shivering in the heavy rain, Lin Yuan suggested.
However, halfway through the sentence, Lin Yuan suddenly realized they couldn’t go to the ancestral hall.
There were children’s remains inside that had been gnawed as snacks by the trickster children. If the little sister-in-law saw them, she’d definitely deduce her own child’s grim fate.
By then, she’d surely collapse.
Thus, Lin Yuan hurriedly changed his words: "Forget it, I’ll send you back first. If an evil spirit appears while you’re here, it will just be a hindrance to me."
After speaking, Lin Yuan didn’t allow the little sister-in-law to argue, he directly used the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo ability to take her back home.
