Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 70: Despair—Is There a Hero?
The corpse of the Headless General fell heavily to the ground, splitting into two right at the neck.
Once down, the left half of the Headless General’s corpse immediately turned into pure deceitful qi.
In an instant, the area was enveloped again in mist-like deceitful qi.
This deceitful qi, produced solely by half of the Headless General’s corpse, was no less potent than the qi emitted by all the Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals they had just slain.
This demonstrates the formidable strength of the Headless General.
However...
Remember, the Headless General’s corpse was split in two!
The left side of this corpse transformed into pure deceitful qi, but the right side remained unchanged.
At this moment, a Life Pattern Master, driven by curiosity, stepped forward to investigate.
"Boom, boom."
Indeed, this Life Pattern Master was quite bold; as he approached the Headless General’s remaining half corpse.
He kicked the Headless General’s corpse hard twice, seemingly trying to vent his dissatisfaction.
After two kicks, the corpse of the Headless General showed no reaction at all, clearly devoid of any life.
"He’s totally gone!"
"He’s totally dead!" In excitement, this Life Pattern Master exclaimed in the local dialect.
Then, realizing using dialect might not be appropriate, he shouted again, "Dead! Completely dead!"
He turned his back to the corpse of the Headless Corpse King and faced the other Life Pattern Masters, waving his hands joyously.
Yet, in contrast to his joy, sheer terror was etched on the faces of the other Life Pattern Masters.
As if witnessing something extremely horrifying.
The curious Life Pattern Master was puzzled by this.
He wondered why they all looked so terrified, considering the Headless General was dead.
Quickly, his joyful expression froze in that moment.
Behind him, the supposedly dead Headless General was using his remaining hand to push himself up.
With a palm big as a fan, he grabbed the Life Pattern Master and squeezed hard.
Instantly, blood sprayed out, and the Life Pattern Master was crushed into pulp.
The soul and essence of this Life Pattern Master transformed into blood-red light points and surged into the body of the Headless General.
"How infuriating!"
"A mere ant could injure me this way!" The Headless Corpse King’s stomach pulsed, his voice filled with animosity.
Previously, when Headless Xingtian’s Daoist Axe delivered that fatal blow.
The Headless General put all his strength into swinging the Wolf Fang Club, but it shattered instantly before the Giant Axe.
It was then that the Headless General realized, this strike required cunning, not brute force.
Force would lead to death.
In a blink of an eye, as the Giant Axe was about to strike the Headless General.
He devised a strategy.
He sealed his soul entirely in one half of his body, leaving the other half void of a soul.
Thus, Headless Xingtian’s axe only split the physical body of the Headless General, leaving the soul intact.
Thanks to this, the Headless General managed to survive.
"You destroyed my body, so I’ll supplement it with the essence and souls of everyone in this city!" The Headless General’s voice was chilling, riddled with disdain for lives.
In the eyes of such evil spirits as the Headless General, humans were merely their sustenance, nourishment to strengthen themselves.
With one step forward, the vast aura of the Headless General engulfed all Life Pattern Masters, leaving them short of breath.
Despite having only half a physical body left, he still wasn’t someone they could handle.
Before the Headless General, these Life Pattern Masters were as insignificant as ants.
"Lü Dong sacrificed himself but couldn’t kill him; who else can stop him?"
"We’re doomed, Peng City is doomed!"
"We’ve let down the survivors of Peng City!"
....
....
Instantly, pessimistic voices arose among the group of Life Pattern Masters.
They despaired!
Many Life Pattern Masters already shut their eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.
Despair wasn’t just theirs but also all the survivors of Peng City.
Definitely, a sleepless night awaited.
Every survivor in Peng City stayed glued to their phones and computers, watching the live broadcast of the battle.
Upon witnessing the Headless General rise again, all Peng City’s survivors were filled with despair.
Many survivors trembled uncontrollably, sobbing bitterly.
Five Dragon Mountain.
The official shelter.
At the central position of the underground bunker within the shelter.
An elderly man with white hair and a square face, eyes resolute, was also watching the TV screen intently.
He was Yang Dingguo, the current number one official in Peng City.
Seeing the Headless General, cut in two, rise again, even Yang Dingguo, who had seen countless significant events.
He couldn’t help but shut his eyes.
But closing them couldn’t stop the flow of old tears.
At that moment, he seemed to have visualized Peng City’s complete destruction.
Peng City was about to fall into Yang Dingguo’s hands.
Yang Dingguo was Peng City’s sinner!
After a long time, the old man’s hoarse voice echoed: "Evacuate!"
"All official personnel, including Life Pattern Masters, put down everything and organize the evacuation of citizens from Peng City."
"Evacuate as many as you can, save as many as you can."
"Peng City cannot be saved!"
...
...
At the same time.
Among the Life Pattern Masters facing the Headless General, the leading official middle-aged Life Pattern Master stepped forward.
"Brothers!"
"We cannot retreat, we cannot retreat!"
"Behind us lies Peng City, where we were born and raised. Behind us are our wives, children, parents, brothers, and sisters."
"This is our home! We have no retreat!"
"Even a weak insect can shake a tree, I can’t believe the Headless General is unbeatable!"
"Fight! Let’s fight him!"
"Even in death, we will spill his blood!"
The official middle-aged Life Pattern Master’s shout reignited the fighting spirit among the Life Pattern Masters.
Indeed!
They might not match the Headless General, but they couldn’t sit and await death.
As Lü Dong said before his self-sacrifice, we may lose, but at least we’ve struggled.
One, two, three....
All Life Pattern Masters stepped forward, straight-faced against the Headless General.
Compared to the Headless General’s vast frame, they appeared small.
However, in spirit, they were towering giants.
"Mere ants, overestimating their own abilities!"
"You do not deserve my personal attention!" By then, the Headless General’s stomach wriggled, emitting an eerie sound: "Awaken my...."
As the Headless General spoke, the deceitful qi from his remaining half turned into deceitful qi snakes.
These deceitful qi snakes darted through the air, burrowing into the dried corpses drained of essence and soul along the path the Yin Soldiers traversed.
In an instant, the mummified bodies in surrounding areas began to rise, moving like zombies, rushing towards the scene.
The Headless General transformed these dried human corpses into Yin Soldiers under his command.
(ps: Sorted the plot and wrote a Chapter until 5. Tired, going to sleep, will write more after waking up. There are still three Chapters today.)
