Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 259 - 253: The Final Assault Begins

Seven days later.

The forces dispatched by Ye Qing have already arrived near Lin’an City.

A massive net targeting the Deceitful King Faction has been thoroughly woven into shape.

The time for the final reckoning has come.

At this moment, the Deceitful King Faction has already received the news internally.

The Ghost Leader has forcibly gathered forces from the other seven families, preparing to defend Lin’an City to the death and resist the official forces to the end.

For the Ghost Leader, Lin’an City must not be lost.

Or rather, the headquarters of the Deceitful King Faction cannot afford any loss.

His flesh is unable to move during the process of stealing power from the World Honored’s remains.

Once moved, it would all be for naught.

Give him three more months, and he would be able to fully absorb the power of this World Honored’s remains.

By then, he has a great chance to step into Tier Three.

Keep in mind, even in the Mysterious World, Tier Three is capable of achieving sainthood and establishing a sect.

If he breaks through to Tier Three in the Real World, then all the official forces, Lin Yuan, would have to bow to him.

He decides who lives and who dies.

A few days ago, the Ghost Leader was still searching for the whereabouts of the Liu Family and Huang Family.

Many strongholds of the Liu Family and Huang Family have been eradicated by the Ghost Leader, and many members died at his hands.

Moreover, the Ghost Leader directly hung their bodies on streetlights in Lin’an City, seemingly warning others that this is the fate of traitors.

Recently, life has not been easy for the Liu Family and Huang Family.

Under the Ghost Leader’s command, various factions of the Deceitful King Faction have united to conduct a thorough search in the city.

Even, if they continue searching, the safe houses of Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Huang are at certain risk.

Fortunately, the official forces arrived just in time!

At the critical moment, the arrival of the official forces made the Ghost Leader redirect his search power to face the official forces.

Suddenly, the pressure on the Liu Family and Huang Family was greatly alleviated.

...

...

"Patriarch Liu, we meet again?" Lin Yuan’s voice appeared in Patriarch Liu’s office.

Seeing Lin Yuan suddenly appear in his office, Patriarch Liu was startled.

Just now, Lin Yuan merely asked him his location through the communicator.

He just sent over his location, and in the next moment, Lin Yuan was right in front of him.

To know, he only gave Lin Yuan two Teleportation Gates in total.

Those two Teleportation Gates should have been used up, right?

Having experienced great events, after a brief shock, Patriarch Liu’s expression quickly returned to normal.

"Mr. Lin, apologies for not welcoming you!" Patriarch Liu smiled.

What kind of apology for not welcoming!

Lin Yuan didn’t need him to welcome, he just came right in.

After sitting down, Lin Yuan said with a smile to Patriarch Liu: "Patriarch Liu seems to have great enlightenment?"

Hearing Lin Yuan’s tease, Patriarch Liu smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, this enlightenment came a bit late!"

The two chatted briefly, and Lin Yuan informed Patriarch Liu that the Liu Family’s children had been arranged properly.

Hearing this, Patriarch Liu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The fate of these old guys is sealed, those children are the hope of the Liu Family.

"If you need something from our Liu Family, just say it!" Patriarch Liu said straightforwardly.

Since Patriarch Liu was so forthright, Lin Yuan didn’t beat around the bush.

He said directly: "We need the Liu Family to cooperate internally and externally and create some commotion in the city."

Coordination inside and outside, blooming from the center.

The Liu Family is like a bomb buried in Lin’an City; once exploded, it would make the city completely chaotic.

By then, the final assault will officially commence.

"Certainly, not a problem."

"Not just us, the Huang Family can join in too!"

"I’ve already reached an agreement with the Huang Family, successfully gaining control of their power," Patriarch Liu said slowly.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at Patriarch Liu with an odd expression.

Goodness, he has a couple of tricks up his sleeve!

In such an almost desperate situation, being able to persuade Patriarch Huang to hand over their power to him for deployment.

Then, Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Are your Liu Family members familiar with the Deceitful King Faction headquarters at the lake bottom?"

Hearing Lin Yuan ask this, Patriarch Liu was taken aback.

He then responded: "I know the general layout, there’s also a rough map of the terrain inside."

"However, only the general public areas are known."

"The Deceitful King Faction base at the lake bottom was the Ghost Leader’s data center before the mysterious invasion. It’s his domain, areas involving confidential information, even I have no access."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, the Liu Family knowing some rough details is better than them being completely in the dark.

The task of destroying the Ghost Leader’s flesh needed some guides.

"We have a team that needs to infiltrate the Deceitful King Faction headquarters to carry out a secret mission."

"We need someone familiar with the terrain to guide us!" Lin Yuan paused here, emphasizing, "This is a mission with certain death, those who undertake it have a ninety percent chance of not returning."

"You should carefully consider the choice of guide."

Lin Yuan did not tell Patriarch Liu the specifics of the mission, just spoke in general terms.

Patriarch Liu was smart; he didn’t ask much, just nodded and replied, "Alright, I will make appropriate arrangements."

"Wait for my message. As soon as it arrives, act immediately!" With that, Lin Yuan vanished from the spot.

This time Lin Yuan came only to touch base with Patriarch Liu and confirm the situation on the Liu Family side.

The Liu Family’s preparations were far more thorough than he had imagined, and they even pulled in the Huang Family.

With this, Lin Yuan felt reassured.

Everything is ready; we can launch the full attack at any time.

...

...

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As several violent explosions sounded, it marked the beginning of the end for the Deceitful King Faction.

At this moment, the Liu Family and Huang Family had detonated several resource warehouses of the Deceitful King Faction.

The successive explosions threw the entire Lin’an City into chaos.

Simultaneously, Lin Yuan once again arrived at the lakeside.

He was about to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Ghost Leader; their battle was truly the key to winning this fight.

"Ghost Leader, come out!"

"You should know better than I what’s at the lake bottom!"

"I reckon you don’t want to battle at the lake bottom either!" Lin Yuan stood by the lake, his voice echoing across the surface.

Below was the Deceitful King Faction headquarters; Lin Yuan couldn’t say whether there were any traps inside against him.

Thus, it’s best to fight above if possible.

At the lake bottom, the Ghost Leader’s expression was sour; he naturally understood Lin Yuan was talking about him stealing power from the World Honored.

"How does he know?"

"On that day, Yang Jing was clearly dead, his soul scattered!"

"Could it be that Lin Yuan has the ability to make a corpse speak?" The Ghost Leader’s face was full of incredulity.

Having said thus much, the Ghost Leader had no choice but to come out and confront him.

At this moment, he also didn’t want Lin Yuan to come down.

The energy fluctuations in a battle between Tier Four are too great; the Ghost Leader feared damaging his own flesh vessel.

The reason he escaped to the lake bottom last time was out of necessity.

Then, he’d been injured, and continuing to fight Lin Yuan was disadvantageous to him.

Escaping to the lake bottom was the only option left.

Now, after days of healing, his injuries were mostly healed.

Since both he and Lin Yuan are Tier Four, he does not fear Lin Yuan.

As Lin Yuan’s voice echoed on the lake surface, the Ghost Leader soon appeared before him.

The two were about ten meters apart, the Ghost Leader still radiated the aura of an old farmer, with not a trace of energy on him.

"You’ve finally come out!"

"I thought you’d stay turtled at the lake bottom, continuing to be a cowardly turtle!" Lin Yuan teased.

At these words, the Ghost Leader’s face sank, he coldly remarked, "Last time, I was injured, so I let you have your way."

"Now, my wounds have healed. Lin Yuan, you still dare to come, how insolent!"

"When the tiger doesn’t show its power, you really think I’m just a sick cat?"

Lin Yuan sized up the Ghost Leader, with mockery said, "You really don’t say, I do think of you as a sick cat."

"Don’t forget, you were beaten by Yang Jing!"

"A Tier Four injured by a Tier Five, how could you not be a sick cat?"

At Lin Yuan’s words, the Ghost Leader’s face turned instantly grim.

A Tier Four being injured by a Tier Five is an utter disgrace!

This level of insult only falls short of the Jade Emperor being beaten by a monkey.

"Lin Yuan, stop with the cheap talk!"

"Officially, there is only one Tier Four expert like you."

"Between you and me, it’s hard to decide a winner. As long as I don’t die, even if the Deceitful King Faction is eradicated, what can you do?"

"Rebuilding a Deceitful King Faction, for me, is a breeze."

"If the officials withdraw troops, I will offer Lin’an City, nominally submit to the authorities. I can let the officials manage ordinary people while I manage the Life Pattern Master."

"How is this deal?" The Ghost Leader said slowly.

The reason the Ghost Leader said this was to tell Lin Yuan, continuing to fight is meaningless.

Even the authorities eradicating the Deceitful King Faction is a meaningless act.

Moreover, he had already offered a price he deemed very suitable.

Lin Yuan looked at the Ghost Leader, solemnly said, "Once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back!"

"Enough of this nonsense, let’s fight!"
