Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 254 - 248: You Can Call the Ghost Leader Evil, But Never Call Him Stupid
After much thought, Lin Yuan decided to take the risk and head to the headquarters of the Deceitful King Faction to rescue someone.
This wasn’t originally part of the plan,
and Lin Yuan hadn’t discussed it with Yang Dingguo or any official figures like the dean, Ye Qing.
First, there was simply no time left.
By the time they had everything sorted out, Yang Jing’s grave would be covered in grass several meters high.
Second, if he did consult with them, they probably wouldn’t agree.
The waters of the Deceitful King Faction were too murky to discern any details.
If Lin Yuan recklessly went to rescue someone, not only would he be in danger, he might also disrupt the official plan.
Officials always like to play it safe, ensuring everything is foolproof.
Lin Yuan understood their mindset.
Understanding is one thing, but Lin Yuan had his own way of doing things.
So, he decided not to consult them.
But before rescuing Yang Jing, Lin Yuan had one more thing to do.
That is, to give Day Traveler a proper lesson.
Of course, this lesson wasn’t the kind people might think.
It was a very serious lesson.
Lin Yuan grabbed Day Traveler by the neck, like grabbing a rag doll, and dragged her outside.
"If this happens again."
"You’re dead!" Lin Yuan glared at Day Traveler, threateningly.
Lin Yuan understood perfectly that Yang Chan found him thanks to Day Traveler’s idea.
Even though Lin Yuan didn’t oppose rescuing Yang Jing,
being burdened with trouble coming his way felt really uncomfortable.
Day Traveler: "????"
Day Traveler fluttered her big Karzilan eyes, feigning innocence, "What do you mean?"
"I don’t understand what you’re saying?"
Lin Yuan’s grip on Day Traveler’s hand tightened, his fingers were like iron clamps, making her unable to breathe.
"Are you insulting my intelligence?"
"If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t know I exist." Lin Yuan said coldly.
It seemed that he could snap Day Traveler’s neck at any moment.
Yang Chan had no idea he existed, apart from Day Traveler, the only other possibility was Yang Jing telling her.
But Lin Yuan had long seen through it, Yang Jing was bent on dying, and wouldn’t possibly ask someone to save him.
After all, besides Day Traveler, who else could it be?
If it were someone else, exposed by Lin Yuan and faced with the threat of death.
They would probably be begging for mercy by now.
But Day Traveler isn’t a normal person!
She’s mentally ill, a mad woman!
"That’s right, it was me, so what!"
"Lin Yuan, if you have guts, kill me. Do it! Don’t make me look down on you!" Day Traveler, instead of begging for mercy, taunted Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan: "????"
At this moment, Lin Yuan was cornered.
This mad woman wasn’t afraid of death, she even, like Yang Jing, no longer wanted to live.
Killing her would be fulfilling her wish.
Furthermore, since the Deceitful King Faction hasn’t been eradicated, Day Traveler was still useful, so Lin Yuan couldn’t kill her.
Everyone has a weakness.
And for most people, death is a weakness.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t Day Traveler’s weakness.
Therefore, threatening her with death was ineffective.
When a person isn’t afraid to die, does that make them truly invincible?
No!
Of course not.
Not fearing death doesn’t mean they don’t have other weaknesses.
Even someone like Day Traveler, the mad woman, has weaknesses.
Her weakness is Night Traveler.
After a brief thought, Lin Yuan threatened, "If this happens again, I’ll take you to Night Traveler’s grave, strip you naked, and X you before X."
Sure enough, hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Day Traveler’s face changed instantly.
"You..."
"You dare!" She pointed at Lin Yuan, unable to utter any threatening words for a moment.
"Try me if you doubt I dare!" Now it was Lin Yuan who threatened her.
If Lin Yuan really did that, it would be as if Night Traveler was dead and had a green hat put on his head!
"I..."
"I was wrong!" Day Traveler had to concede, reluctantly explaining, "I saw their sibling bond and couldn’t bear it, so I brought her to see you!"
"I don’t want to hear explanations, I just want to tell you, there won’t be a next time!" Lin Yuan warned.
After giving Day Traveler a warning, Lin Yuan set off with Bai Ling’Er and Sister-In-Law to the headquarters of the Deceitful King Faction to prepare for the rescue.
...
...
At this moment, at the headquarters of the Deceitful King Faction, Yang Jing was engaged in a fierce battle with the Ghost Leader.
Rather than saying Yang Jing was battling the Ghost Leader, it was more like the Ghost Leader was toying with him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Yang Jing’s Three-Pointed Double-Blade Knife was capable of killing Wei Tian, capable of killing Feng Wuji.
However, it could not harm the Ghost Leader in the slightest.
Every time Yang Jing attacked, the Ghost Leader would evade using the Red Cloud Transformation move.
He repeated it countless times; the move was old, but incredibly effective.
Unfortunately, Yang Jing couldn’t break this move.
However, this relentless, tedious attack allowed Yang Jing to uncover some secrets.
It seemed that the Ghost Leader would not stray from the lakeside.
No matter how Yang Jing maneuvered or from which angle he attacked, the Ghost Leader always stayed within several dozen meters of the lake.
It was as if he was guarding something.
The Ghost Leader showed no signs of exhaustion, which was not the usual fighting style of a Life Pattern Master.
At this moment, Yang Jing had an intuition.
Could it be that the Ghost Leader was not a Life Pattern Master, or perhaps he wasn’t human?
The lake bottom!
Something beneath the lake had to be problematic.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing leaped up, quickly creating distance.
After flying several hundred meters, he glanced back, confirming that the Ghost Leader hadn’t pursued him.
The fact that the Ghost Leader didn’t follow further confirmed his suspicions.
The Ghost Leader must be guarding something.
He’d rather let Yang Jing leave than abandon the lakeside.
No wonder he had never seen the Ghost Leader leave the Deceitful King Faction headquarters before!
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Eye on Yang Jing’s forehead slowly opened, emitting a white light towards the lake’s surface.
The Heavenly Eye gave off a feeling that it could survey the heavens above and the Yellow Springs below.
The Ghost Leader, who had never taken Yang Jing seriously,
was astonished upon seeing him open the Heavenly Eye to probe the lake’s depths.
It was as if his secret was about to be discovered.
The Ghost Leader, who had always been defensive, took the initiative this time.
"Yang Jing, you are courting death!" the Ghost Leader’s voice resounded, filled with endless fury.
At that moment, the space around Yang Jing cracked open, and a palm formed by a red cloud suddenly slapped him heavily, sending him tumbling.
Yang Jing saw nothing. His exploration was interrupted.
Although he didn’t see anything, the Ghost Leader’s furious reaction further confirmed Yang Jing’s suspicions.
There indeed was a secret beneath the lake, and besides the Ghost Leader, no one in the Deceitful King Faction knew about it.
Not even his confidants like Wei Tian and Feng Wuji.
It was the Ghost Leader’s most important secret, one only he knew.
Knowing this secret meant a dead end.
The Ghost Leader admired Yang Jing; initially, he intended to spare his life.
But Yang Jing dared to probe his greatest secret and even guessed that the secret lay at the lake bottom.
Since that was the case, Yang Jing could no longer be spared.
"You’re courting death; I cannot let you live!" the Ghost Leader’s fiery voice echoed.
Then, Yang Jing felt the surrounding space twist, and in the next moment, he was back at the lakeside.
Throughout this process, Yang Jing was like a toy to the Ghost Leader.
Yet, it’s important to know that Yang Jing was considered the strongest below Tier Four.
So there was only one possibility: the Ghost Leader was Tier Four.
Tier Four?
How could it be? How could the Ghost Leader have silently advanced to Tier Four!
To know, the constraints of heaven and earth still existed, making a breakthrough in this world impossible.
And since the Ghost Leader never left the Deceitful King Faction headquarters, he couldn’t have gone to another world like Lin Yuan to break through.
Then how did he reach Tier Four?
Yang Jing took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Are you Tier Four?"
"To a dying man, it does no harm to tell you!" The Ghost Leader gave Yang Jing a glance and answered, "I recently broke through, indeed reaching Tier Four!"
Receiving a definitive answer from the Ghost Leader, Yang Jing continued to ask, "The heavenly restrictions still exist, making a breakthrough supposedly impossible?"
"How did you manage it?"
How did he break through?
This question involved the Ghost Leader’s greatest secret.
He naturally wouldn’t tell Yang Jing.
"Foolish people are bound by the constraints of heaven and earth!"
"With superb wisdom, how can mere heaven and earth constrain me?" the Ghost Leader replied proudly.
The Ghost Leader’s words left Yang Jing speechless.
With the Ghost Leader’s wisdom, even Yang Jing had to admire it.
When the strange invasion began, he single-handedly orchestrated the formation of the Deceitful King Faction.
Facing the strange invasion, his response speed could even rival that of state machinery.
And now, by unknown means, he successfully broke through, becoming a Tier Four master.
He possibly even broke through earlier than Lin Yuan.
Remember, Lin Yuan was a transmigrator!
He returned fully prepared in advance.
But the Ghost Leader relied purely on his wisdom.
You can call the Ghost Leader evil, but you cannot call him stupid.
The Ghost Leader’s gaze shifted to Yang Jing, and he slowly spoke, "Any other questions?"
"If not, you may die!"
Today, the Ghost Leader must kill Yang Jing.
Anyone who tries to uncover his secret must die.
