Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 186 - 180: Burning the Temples, Turning the Tables

There's not much time left for them!

Continuing passive defense will only let the evil spirits lead them by the nose.

If they want to turn the tables now, they must take the initiative to strike.

"This..."

"There are so many survivors in the sanctuary, they trust us so much!"

"If we deploy all the Life Pattern Masters, how will their safety be ensured?"

"At that time, even a Tier Eight Skeleton Novice Monk could easily kill them!"

"People will die, many people will die!" The official in charge of Tang City shouted hoarsely.

He is a local from Tang City, Lin Yuan could understand his feelings.

However, it's just understanding, nothing more.

Understanding, but not supporting.

"Now, it's a war."

"It's a war between humanity and evil spirits, the most brutal war humanity has ever faced."

"As long as it's war, there will be casualties!"

"What we can do is win with the smallest cost."

"Hesitating between attack and defense, we are doomed to fail!" Lin Yuan's tone was equally grave.

Lin Yuan was gradually losing patience; if he couldn't persuade this group, he would take his people and leave.

Then, find another way to exit the Realm of Deceitful Demon.

Joining forces with these people requires them to listen to him.

If they're incompetent teammates, he'd rather not have them.

At this moment, Zhang Zhen, who had been standing behind Lin Yuan, couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhang Zhen thought, do you dare to ignore my boss's words?

"Bang!" Zhang Zhen stepped forward and slammed the table, shouting, "My boss has finished speaking, hurry up and give an answer."

"Who's in support, who's against!"

To everyone's surprise, Jian Bing, who had always been at odds with Lin Yuan, actually spoke up.

"I support it!" Jian Bing took the lead in expressing his stance.

After Jian Bing stated his support, Ling Guang followed quickly, raising his hand to vote: "I support as well."

With Jian Bing and Ling Guang supporting, Zhi Ming couldn't oppose either!

So, he also stated: "Support."

The three Tier Five experts all supported it; everyone present then expressed: "Support, support."

Finally, when it came to the official in charge of Tang City, he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Then I also support."

With everyone's support for his proposal, Lin Yuan immediately commanded: "Act now, split into three groups."

"Burn down the three Buddhist Temples as quickly as possible. Trust me, as long as we are fast enough, the survivors in the sanctuary won't be in danger."

What's the purpose of the evil spirits kidnapping survivors?

They're using these people to create Buddha oil lamps and rebuild the Buddhist Temples damaged by Lin Yuan.

Damaging is definitely simpler than rebuilding.

When they realize Lin Yuan and his group's speed in damaging the temples is faster, their reconstruction becomes meaningless.

At that time, they'll need to first deal with Lin Yuan's group of temple destroyers in order to continue reconstructing the damaged temples.

When Lin Yuan's group is in danger, the survivors in the sanctuary are safe.

"Jian Bing, why did you agree to his plan?" Zhi Ming asked curiously.

Zhi Ming knows Jian Bing well; he's cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

This was evident when he was the first to go rescue people just now.

Zhi Ming originally thought Jian Bing would oppose Lin Yuan's plan.

Jian Bing responded in his usual indifferent tone: "If we don't agree with his plan, he would definitely leave."

"If he leaves, things will get worse."

Previously, the three of them had already confronted those evil spirits.

The three of them were no match for the evil spirit lurking in the shadows.

Lin Yuan is the only hope of defeating that evil spirit; if Lin Yuan leaves, they are surely bound to fail.

Once defeated, it means total annihilation.

Following Lin Yuan's approach might cause some survivor casualties, but at least there's hope for victory.

Jian Bing didn't necessarily agree with Lin Yuan but had no other choice.

....

....

Zhi Ming, Jian Bing, Ling Guang each led a group of Life Pattern Masters as instructed by Lin Yuan, beginning the search for the Buddhist Temples.

The area each of them searched was one of the three neighboring regions on the map, with Lin Yuan coordinating from the center.

Lin Yuan deployed all Life Pattern Masters from Tang City's sanctuary, splitting them into three groups, assigned to the three.

They pursued their predetermined targets with a thorough search.

When only the approximate range is known, a thorough search is the fastest method.

...

...

"Bang!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

A muffled sound echoed, and right after, a Life Pattern Master was seen flying out from the courtyard ahead.

He slammed heavily into a wall, collapsing an entire wall, then fell limp to the ground.

His chest had completely caved in, a clear fist print was visible, and blood continued to gush from his mouth.

Undoubtedly, this person won't survive.

This was within Ling Guang's search range, who detected the energy fluctuations of the evil spirit.

Ling Guang's Vermilion Bird battle armor, transformed with fiery wings at the back, flew directly towards this area.

In the blink of an eye, upon seeing the evil spirits strike, Ling Guang thought to herself, steady now!

The evil spirit that had just made a move, launching a Life Pattern Master with a single punch, was a Jin Guang Luohan.

The Jin Guang Luohan was, apart from the Great Black Heaven and the Four Directions Attendants, the most powerful evil spirit in this deceitful demon realm.

The appearance of a Jin Guang Luohan indicated that the Buddhist Temple they were looking for might be nearby.

"Buddha..."

"The Buddhist Temple is on his..." The Life Pattern Master lying on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, seemed to have a moment of clarity before death. He pointed behind the Jin Guang Luohan, barely getting the words out.

Before he could finish the sentence, his head tilted, and he was completely lifeless.

Seeing this, Ling Guang was also enraged, angrily saying, "Dare to kill my men, you're dead."

As Ling Guang lost her temper, the Vermilion Bird armor on her released a majestic energy.

A fiery red bow and arrow appeared in her hand.

Drawing the bow and aiming at the Jin Guang Luohan, a fiery red energy arrow took shape as the bowstring was pulled back.

"Chirp!"

The arrow shot out, and after leaving the string, it transformed into a Vermilion Bird spreading its wings and soaring.

The Vermilion Bird, engulfed in fiery red flames, charged towards the Jin Guang Luohan.

"Boom!"

The Vermilion Bird collided with the Jin Guang Luohan, the power of that arrow comparable to a missile.

The Jin Guang Luohan was sent flying by the Vermilion Bird, soaring hundreds of meters away, demolishing countless houses along the way.

Subsequently, a violent explosion sounded, leaving a dozen-meter-wide crater at the original site.

In the crater, besides the violent fire attribute energy, there were only some dismembered limbs left.

The Tier Six Evil Spirit Jin Guang Luohan was instantly killed by Ling Guang.

Below Tier Five are all ants; this scene said it all.

The difference between Tier Five and Tier Six is as vast as that between Tier Six and ordinary people.

"Dare to kill my people!"

"You must die!" Ling Guang rubbed her nose, complaining angrily, "There are dead!"

"I wonder if Sister Jian Bing will laugh at me when she finds out!"

After the Tier Six Evil Spirit Jin Guang Luohan was dealt with, quite a number of zombie warrior monks and skeleton novice monks jumped out from the surrounding houses.

However, these low-tier evil spirits were no longer worth Ling Guang using arrows on.

She simply swung her bow violently, smashing these evil spirits into smithereens.

After handling those evil spirits, Ling Guang set the Buddhist Temple on fire.

Just as Ling Guang succeeded here, Jian Bing and Zhi Ming succeeded as well.

Almost simultaneously, three other Buddhist Temples were destroyed.

Elsewhere, the three attendants of Great Black Heaven had just repaired a Buddhist Temple that Lin Yuan had damaged.

Then they received another message from the Great Black Heaven that three more Buddhist Temples had been destroyed.

This time, however, the Great Black Heaven gave them orders not to repair the temples.

Instead, they were told to go kill Ling Guang first.

Three against one, breaking them one by one, first kill Ling Guang, then Zhi Ming, and finally face the strongest, Jian Bing.

As for Lin Yuan, the Great Black Heaven wanted to deal with him personally, feeling that nothing would ease his hatred until he killed Lin Yuan himself.

So why didn't the Great Black Heaven intervene himself against Ling Guang now?

The reason is simple.

His posterior still ached!

The sword Lin Yuan thrust still hadn't healed entirely!

After receiving the Great Black Heaven's orders, his three attendants quickly rushed towards the directions of the ruined Buddhist Temples.

They were very cautious, always sneaking secretly, looking for Ling Guang's whereabouts.

When they encountered Jian Bing, they even proactively avoided her.

When Jian Bing transforms into a white tiger, the three of them indeed get a bit nervous.

Even if they could win three against one, Jian Bing might still take one or two with her.

Soon, they saw Zhi Ming.

They decided not to attack Zhi Ming either, as Zhi Ming excelled in defense, able to hold them off for a long time despite their attacks.

If they got stuck and Jian Bing and Ling Guang came to support, they would lose their advantage in a three-on-three combat.

After some searching, these three finally found Ling Guang.

Ling Guang was the best target, less powerful than Jian Bing, and not as defensively strong as Zhi Ming.

Without hesitation whatsoever, the moment they saw Ling Guang, they attacked.

An iron rod, a crescent shovel, and a Chan staff struck from three directions.

When three Tier Five evil spirits attacked simultaneously, these three weapons together could crush even a mountain into powder, let alone Ling Guang.

Alongside the Great Black Heaven, they might have learned nothing else, but they mastered the art of ambush almost perfectly.

All being Tier Five, their sneak attack left Ling Guang nowhere to escape.

Dodging now was truly too late.

In the nick of time, Ling Guang's form began to change, slowly transforming into a humanoid flame before her eyes.

The Chan staff, iron rod, and crescent shovel passed through the humanoid flame.

Moments later, the humanoid flame turned back into Ling Guang's form, spreading her wings and quickly pulling away.

At the brink of life and death, Ling Guang transformed into a humanoid flame, avoiding most of the physical attacks.

Of course, she wasn't completely unscathed.

This was apparent from the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

While the physical attack was dodged, let's remember that there was still an energy attack part I couldn't avoid.

At the moment the three attendants attacked Ling Guang, Zhi Ming, Jian Bing, and Lin Yuan all sensed the energy fluctuations from there.

Simultaneously, they quickly made their way over.
