Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

"When I block this strike, it will be my turn to attack!"

"Kid, within thirty moves, I’ll have your head!" thought Kshatriya.

Clearly, Kshatriya hadn’t realized the severity of the situation. Instead of thinking about how to survive, he was plotting a counterattack.

However, Kshatriya would soon regret.

He would regret not fleeing at the first opportunity.

Instead, he stubbornly chose to withstand Lin Yuan’s assault head-on.

The Bronze Sword carried a majestic sword intent and stabbed into the Nine Army Shield.

"Crack!"

"Crack! Crack!"

The Nine Army Shield, Kshatriya’s pride, was as brittle as tofu under the Bronze Sword, unable to withstand even a single blow.

As the tip of the Bronze Sword touched the Nine Army Shield, it shattered into spider-web patterns as if it was made of fragile glass, though it had blocked countless attacks for Kshatriya in countless battles.

"Boom!"

Finally, the Nine Army Shield couldn’t bear the weight anymore and explosively shattered into fragments.

Without the obstruction of the Nine Army Shield, Lin Yuan’s sword pierced through Kshatriya’s body with ease.

Endless sword energy erupted like a volcano through Kshatriya’s body.

Numerous sword lights flashed within Kshatriya’s body.

Kshatriya looked down, only to find that his own body, like the Nine Army Shield before, was cracked all over.

Dense spider-web-like cracks spread across his entire body, even to his soul...

At this moment, an image flashed in Kshatriya’s mind.

Once, Human King Di Xin used this very sword with this very move, leaving countless dense cracks on his master, Buddha’s golden body.

It took his master, Buddha, a thousand years to heal the scar left by that single stroke.

The sword, it was still the same sword from back then.

But he was Kshatriya, not his master, Buddha.

Even though Lin Yuan didn’t have the prowess of the Human King back then, it was enough to kill him.

"Pft!"

Kshatriya spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, then watched as his flesh and soul disintegrated under the ravaging sword light.

"Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother."

Just before death, Kshatriya heard the heart-wrenching cries of his Senior Brother and two Junior Brothers.

Kshatriya was dead.

Killed by one strike from Lin Yuan, the whole process leaving him utterly defenseless.

In the shadows, the Four Great Demon Kings were observing silently.

"Is this person a descendant of the Human King, or a disciple?"

"To be so powerful, killing Kshatriya with just one strike?" Demon King Bosun was utterly shocked.

At this moment, Demon King Indra spoke up beside him: "Brahma and the others might not be able to hold on."

"Should we go out and help?"

Among the Four Great Demon Kings, Indra was relatively straightforward.

Indra pondered that they were allies now!

Since their ally was in trouble, they should go out and assist.

However, the cunning and sly Demon King Bosun clearly had different thoughts.

Demon King Bosun gave Indra a look as if he were an idiot: "Are you stupid?"

"We don’t know this person’s true capabilities; if we go out now, wouldn’t we just be courting death?"

"I have a plan!"

"Now, Brahma and the others are holding them back. Therefore, their interior must be vulnerable."

"We might as well go and raid their base, exterminating anyone they left behind."

"We kill their people here, and Brahma loses his people there. In the future, they’ll never be able to raise their heads in front of us again."

As soon as Bosun spoke those words, the other three Demon Kings’ eyes lit up.

The ones getting beaten up were Brahma and his group, while they got to reap the benefits.

"Why wouldn’t you take advantage of such an opportunity? Only a fool wouldn’t."

"It’s a good plan, a good plan, let’s do it!"

"Bosun, you’re the man!"

"Let’s get going before the fight ends!" The remaining three Demon Kings all unanimously agreed with Bosun’s plan.

Moreover, they admired him to the core.

Demon King Bosun and the others didn’t waste any time and swiftly left, preparing to raid the base.

....

...

The four Brahma brothers had lived together for countless years, and their bond was deep.

Having witnessed Kshatriya being slain by Lin Yuan in one strike, the remaining brothers were filled with rage and grief.

"Ah!"

"You scoundrel, you killed my Junior Brother, I’ll make you pay in blood!" Brahma gritted his teeth, filled with a desire to devour Lin Yuan whole.

Lin Yuan pointed his sword at Brahma, coldly saying, "Can’t take it after just killing one of you?"

"You all killed seven of ours."

"If we really settle the score, you still owe us six lives. Killing all three of you wouldn’t be enough to pay it back."

Hearing Lin Yuan, Brahma retorted indignantly, "We only killed three of yours, the other four were killed by Bosun and his group."

Brahma thought, if we killed them, we’ll admit it.

If we didn’t, you can’t just blame us for everything.

Lin Yuan: "?????"

Hearing Brahma’s words, Lin Yuan frowned, realizing there were others involved?

Right now, Lin Yuan was also worried that his home might get raided.

However, he had to kill Brahma and his group first, then he could return.

He could only hope that Peacock Great Ming King could hold the fort.

Knowing that besides Brahma’s group, there were other Outer World People, Lin Yuan was indeed a bit anxious.

He rushed back, no longer wasting words with Brahma and the others, and went directly into attack.

As Lin Yuan struck, Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder also made their moves.

Lin Yuan targeted the strongest, Brahma, first.

Meanwhile, Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, along with other Tier Two Peak experts, intercepted the other two Outer World People.

In the face of Lin Yuan’s swinging sword, Brahma remained unmoved.

He held a Zen staff in one hand and a scripture in the other, silently chanting.

With inaudible chanting emerging from his mouth, large golden scripture words manifested around him.

These shining golden scripture words assembled like bricks, forming a Golden Buddha Tower.

The Buddha Tower rose, pressing down towards Lin Yuan.

Brahma intended to suppress Lin Yuan within this Buddha Tower.

The Buddha Tower approached, its golden shadow looming over Lin Yuan like Mount Tai.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan raised his sword and slashed.

He intended to cleave the Buddha Tower.

"Clang!"

A crisp sword peal rang out as an over-ten-foot azure-black sword light slashed toward the Buddha Tower.

"Boom!"

Gold energy clashed with azure energy, and in the next moment, both the sword light and the Buddha Tower exploded simultaneously.

Lin Yuan staggered back three to five steps, while Brahma was sent flying straight backward.

Meanwhile, a deep, bone-visible sword wound appeared on his chest.

In this initial clash, Lin Yuan once again held the upper hand.
