Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 96 - 94: The Might of Lingguan, Bai Ling’Er Gravely Injured
Lingguan leaped up with a move of Powerful Split of Hua Mountain, the golden whip in his hand radiating dazzling golden light, smashing towards Bai Ling’Er.
At this moment, Lingguan’s entire body was emitting golden light, as if the whole person was shrouded in golden flames.
Bai Ling’Er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes in contemplation. Though her eyes were closed, everything around her was within her perception.
Centered around Bai Ling’Er, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped. The scattered snowflakes in the sky transformed into heavy snow.
The heavy snow fluttered and fell, under Bai Ling’Er’s control, forming multiple white fox heads around her.
"Roar!"
"Roar! Roar!"
The fox heads around charged towards Lingguan, their numbers overwhelming, each containing frightening energy fluctuations.
Lingguan knew that if he let the fox heads bite him, he would be severely injured, perhaps even lose his life here.
Forced by circumstances, Lingguan could only change his tactic.
Originally meant for Bai Ling’Er, the golden whip had to first strike the surrounding fox heads.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Lingguan wielded the golden whip, continuously striking at the fox heads around him. Each hit reduced a fox head to a flurry of snowflakes.
Indeed, as the second strongest in the Zhang Family’s hunting squad, Lingguan’s combat prowess was impressive.
The golden whip in his hand was wielded flawlessly, naturally and seamlessly.
Each strike was fast and fierce, akin to The Flood Dragon Rises to Sea, or a ferocious tiger breaking free.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
The golden whip emitted dazzling golden light, hitting the fox heads with loud energy collision sounds that made one’s eardrums ache.
The fox heads burst and reverted to snowflakes, inadvertently covering Lingguan’s body.
The more Lingguan fought, the braver he became. Approximately two to three minutes later, Bai Ling’Er’s conjured fox heads were completely destroyed by Lingguan.
"Demon Fiend, is that all?" Lingguan pointed the golden whip directly at Bai Ling’Er, arrogantly saying, "Fox Demon, what else do you have?"
Seeing the combat power Lingguan displayed, Bai Ling’Er couldn’t help but marvel at the magic of tattoo abilities!
In just over a month since awakening tattoo powers, numerous strong individuals had emerged in this world.
Not mentioning that monster Lin Yuan for now, this Lingguan in front of her could actually match her evenly.
However, though Lingguan was powerful, Bai Ling’Er, as an outstanding youth of the Qingqiu Fox Race, was no mere herbivore.
Lingguan, holding the golden whip, pointed it at Bai Ling’Er, then swiftly charged towards her.
Lingguan was no longer willing to give Bai Ling’Er any time to cast spells; his next strike was sure to take the Fox Demon’s life.
Watching Lingguan rush towards her, Bai Ling’Er rapidly formed seals with her hands, then softly uttered a word.
"Freeze!"
As soon as Bai Ling’Er spoke, the snowflakes that had fallen on Lingguan when he smashed the fox heads rapidly solidified into ice at a visible speed.
"Crunch."
"Crunch, crunch."
Lingguan clearly heard the sound of rapid freezing, as the temperature around him plummeted, then felt his running movements suddenly freeze in place.
Looking down, he saw that his lower legs had been firmly frozen, meanwhile, the snowflakes were transforming into ice faster, spreading to his upper body.
In just two or three seconds, Lingguan was completely frozen into an ice block.
Previously, Bai Ling’Er used magic to condense the snowflakes into fox heads, an apparent ultimate move, but in reality, it was merely a setup.
The purpose of summoning the fox heads was to make Lingguan destroy them so the snowflakes could fall on his body.
All was laid out just for this moment.
The snowflakes covered his entire body, Lingguan didn’t pay attention. It was precisely these small oversights that led to Lingguan being sealed in ice.
Although Lingguan was sealed in ice, he wasn’t dead; his consciousness remained clear.
Now, he’s trapped within the ice and unable to move.
At this moment, Lingguan was fully activating his Wang Lingguan tattoo.
In Daoism, Wang Lingguan’s full title is the Innate Chief General, Hallowed Daoist Protector, Three-Five Fiery Carriage King, Heavenly Lord of Reverent Manifestation.
From Wang Lingguan’s lengthy name, one can pinpoint a focus on abilities related to fire.
Lingguan fully activated the Wang Lingguan tattoo, and the tattoo seemed to sense Lingguan’s predicament.
At this moment, the awakened tattoo ability was operating almost at full capacity.
Lingguan’s body emitted over three feet of scorching golden flames, yet the ice sealing Lingguan showed no signs of melting under the fiery blaze.
Bai Ling’Er watching the struggling Lingguan said, "No point in wasting effort, this is the Qingqiu Race’s Profound Nether Ice Sealing Technique, you can’t break the seal."
However, Lingguan ignored Bai Ling’Er’s words.
If this fox demon, considered a pet, could seal him, just how strong must the master Lin Yuan be?
The strength of the Day Traveler could absolutely not evade Lin Yuan.
Once Lin Yuan dealt with the Day Traveler, he would return to kill him.
If the Fox Demon’s seal isn’t broken now, when Lin Yuan returns, Lingguan will surely die.
Currently, these are Lingguan’s thoughts.
Indeed, he viewed Bai Ling’Er as Lin Yuan’s pet.
But calling her a pet doesn’t seem incorrect.
Lingguan attempted multiple times to break the Profound Ice Seal, unfortunately, the ice didn’t budge.
An unwilling fury surged in Lingguan’s mind.
Under the blazing fury, the tattoo of Wang Lingguan on Lingguan’s body suddenly transformed from gold to black.
At the same time, the three-foot golden flame that burst from his body also turned into a three-foot black flame.
As the black flame emerged, the Profound Ice showed signs of melting.
In mythical legends, Wang Lingguan, named Wang Shan, originally had the real name Wang E.
He was originally a temple deity in a certain place, who liked to eat young boys and girls.
When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he sent Sa Shoujian, one of the four Celestial Masters, to capture him and bring him to the Celestial Court for punishment.
A mere temple deity was no match for one of the four Celestial Masters.
To put it simply, this was like a king fighting a bronze player; even Kun’Er could attack effortlessly.
Sa Shoujian casually sketched a talisman and burned down Wang E’s temple, then escorted him to see the Jade Emperor.
Perhaps the Jade Emperor was in a good mood that day because not only did he spare him from punishment, but he also appointed him as Lingguan.
Later, Wang E admired Sa Shoujian’s skills immensely.
So, he became Sa Shoujian’s disciple. Sa Shoujian, intending to persuade him to be good, gave him the name Wang Shan.
This mythical legend tells us that Wang Lingguan has two sides: good and evil.
Using his benevolent side couldn’t break Bai Ling’Er’s Profound Ice seal, so he was left with no choice but to use his malevolent side.
According to the rules of online novels, redemption weakens one by three points, while turning evil doubles the power.
Lingguan tapped into the evil side of his Wang Lingguan tattoo, and his power surged rapidly.
A black blaze three feet high burst forth from his body; under the roasting heat of the black flame, the Profound Ice began to melt.
At this moment, the space imprisoned within the Profound Ice allowed Lingguan some room to move.
He grasped the Golden Whip, which now emitted a scorching flame.
Then, he forcefully swung it towards the Profound Ice.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resounded, and the Profound Ice shattered into a heap of fragments, from which Lingguan burst forth.
"Demon, meet your end!" Lingguan shouted loudly, charging at Bai Ling’Er.
Vengeance must be exacted, grievances must be redressed.
Breaking the seal, Lingguan naturally intended to take the life of the Fox Demon.
Upon seeing this scene, Bai Ling’Er was somewhat flustered.
All usable magic had already been exhausted; now, only her last trump card could deal with Lingguan.
The Power of Rules.
In a blink, Lingguan was already upon her.
In that split second, before his Golden Whip came crashing down, Bai Ling’Er’s fox tails suddenly extended, wrapping like soft whips around the Golden Whip.
Then, the Power of Rules rapidly spread along the Golden Whip, extending all the way to Lingguan’s right arm.
The left tail severed luck, the right tail severed life.
In an instant, Lingguan felt as if something in his body was ebbing away.
Life essence?
No!
Aside from life essence, there was another mysterious and profound element flowing away.
"The Power of Rules from the Deceitful Realm of the Tier Five Evil Spirit?"
"Both kinds? Such an impressive Fox Demon, she can actually integrate the Power of Rules into herself?" Lingguan’s face showed a look of shock.
The Deceitful Realm within a Tier Five Evil Spirit harbors a formidable Power of Rules.
This is something all Life Pattern Masters know.
While Bai Ling’Er’s Power of Rules wasn’t as strong as that in the Deceitful Realm of a Tier Five Evil Spirit,
even within the Deceitful Realm of a Tier Five Evil Spirit, its Power of Rules resides outside.
Yet Bai Ling’Er had incorporated the Power of Rules into her own body.
Before this, Lingguan hadn’t even heard of this, let alone seen it.
It was something he wouldn’t have dared to imagine.
Sensing the rapid depletion of life essence within him, Lingguan knew he had to sever the connection with the Power of Rules quickly.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before his life essence was exhausted, ending in his death.
Lingguan was also a ruthless man; without a second thought, he severed his right arm.
The right arm that wielded the Golden Whip was entwined with Bai Ling’Er’s two tails.
With his right arm severed, even the Golden Whip was abandoned, cutting off the extension of the Power of Rules.
Then, Lingguan clenched his left fist, delivering a heavy blow to Bai Ling’Er’s abdomen.
From the severing of his arm to the heavy fist strike with his left hand—
all this happened in the blink of an eye.
Bai Ling’Er’s tails were still entwined around the Golden Whip, leaving her no time to cast spells, forcing her to endure Lingguan’s punch.
A mage in close combat with a warrior faces dire consequences.
Lingguan’s punch sent Bai Ling’Er flying over ten meters away, blood pouring from her mouth, and her tails released their grip on the Golden Whip limply.
The Golden Whip fell in the air, and with a leap, Lingguan caught it with his remaining left hand.
"Die for me!" Lingguan shouted with furious rage, driven by his severed arm’s hatred, swinging the Whip towards Bai Ling’Er’s head.
At this moment, Bai Ling’Er lay gravely injured on the ground, watching this incoming blow with closed eyes, waiting helplessly for death.
