Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2257: Fighting peak expert

Two rays of bright light, almost filling his entire field of vision, stabbed in from the left and right of Ye Zhongmingʼs head, and at the same time, a third surge came from behind his back.

And White Dragon Horse and Leilei Bird, who had just left, had also returned.

Having one eye blinded did have a certain effect on Kunzuo, but at his level, he could compensate through his other senses.

However, in combat at this level, even a slight awkwardness could have an impact, and Kunzuoʼs mind was entirely focused on killing Ye Zhongming.

So by the time the two rays of light reached the sides of Ye Zhongmingʼs head, Kunzuo finally responded. He blew a puff of air from his mouth, which instantly transformed into a mysterious symbol that appeared in front of his face.

With two soft pops, the lights shattered upon hitting the mysterious symbol, which startled Kunzuo because the attack had been far too weak. He had sensed the aura of great experts from the two who had launched those attacks; that should have been the Star-Eye Clan leadersʼ doing.

But...

Before he could find the answer, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand. He instinctively tried to withdraw it; after all, he had already crushed this personʼs heart, so he was surely dead.

But Kunzuo discovered that his arm was clamped by something. With his one eye, he saw that this Star-Eye Clan member, whom he had just killed, had somehow wrapped his arm in his own sternum!

In his final moments, instead of trying to resist, he had used his last strength to make his sternum grow wildly, trapping Kunzuoʼs hand?!
Kunzuo felt a chill from deep within his heart.

When someone was so ruthless that they did not care about their own life, only about killing you, it truly made one shudder and fear.

The pain instantly intensified; Kunzuo felt as if his hand was about to be sliced off.

He could not worry about anything else. That hand barely clenched and punched forward, sending out an invisible wave of energy that blasted away the figure attacking him from behind.

But because his hand had already been injured earlier, and his arm was clamped by the deformed sternum, this strike had less than one percent of his peak power.

At that moment, White Dragon Horse and Leilei Bird arrived and, just as before, launched their attacks at Kunzuo.

But Kunzuo at this point was no longer in the dazed state from earlier. He suddenly shook his body, and a powerful energy burst out from within, sending White Dragon Horse and Leilei Bird flying.

”Ah!”

Yet he suddenly let out a low growl, lowered his head, and saw that both sides of his abdomen had been slashed open!

White Robeʼs attack, launched from within Ye Zhongmingʼs body, had blasted away the relatively stronger White Dragon Horse and Leilei Bird, but had somewhat overlooked the two Star-Eye Clan leaders who had made the initial feint.

By the time Kunzuo wanted to counterattack, the two leaders had already vanished.

That was, after all, the style of assassins.

When he had struck out to blast away White Robe, White Dragon Horse, and Leilei Bird, he had also shaken free of Ye Zhongmingʼs sternum. The man Kunzuo wished he could kill all over again finally crashed to the ground, his life extinguished.

But Kunzuo had paid a price for it. From the moment Ye Zhongming attacked him to the moment he killed Ye Zhongming, one arm was useless, one eye was blind, the other hand was half severed, both sides of his abdomen had horrific gashes with internal organs exposed, and countless other wounds covered the rest of his body!

For anyone of another rank, even a great expert, in such a state they would either be dead or long since unconscious. Yet Kunzuo remained awake, and seemed to retain the ability to fight.

A peak expert was truly terrifying.

Kunzuo wanted to roar at the sky to display his might, but he could not—he feared he might shatter his own heart.

”Those who dare to provoke me must all die!” Kunzuo said with a single eye fixed on the Su Clan and the small-race alliance, carrying an air of contempt for the world.

”His death does not absolve you of the crime of offending me, so you will still pay the price.”

Kunzuo knew that further negotiation was useless at this point. He decided to use the momentum of having killed Ye Zhongming under the attacks of almost all their great experts to extort whatever he could.

But before he could voice his terms, Kunzuo noticed that the people on the other side seemed somewhat abnormal.

How to put it? He thought for a moment and realized with a start that they did not show the emotions he had expected.

There was no fear or terror, no anger or resentment, no grief or weeping, no despair, no overwhelming sorrow and fury...

They were too calm, and within that calm, there was an eagerness to act.

This was absolutely not how a side should behave after their core figure had been killed.

”My lord!”

A cry of alarm came from behind; it was the shout of his clansmen.

The other Huoʼer Star people had not helped during the fight because they all knew Lord Kunzuoʼs temperament. If they acted without permission, even if they truly helped, they would surely be punished upon their return.

If he truly needed help, Kunzuo would say so. So they had all watched the battle from behind, even retreating some distance to avoid being caught in the residual effects of the fight.

This allowed them to see an unbelievable scene from the rear.

A shadow that should not have appeared emerged behind Kunzuo.

Almost at the same time as the Huoʼer Star people shouted, the ground shook violently, distant mountains collapsed, and a colossal shadow appeared!

This sight was familiar to many, because they had seen it not long ago!

Kunzuo spun around swiftly, and in his single eye, he saw that figure.

”Impossible! You died!”

Even Kunzuo, with all his composure, could not help but be greatly shocked.

He saw the man he had just killed standing before him again, alive!

And at the same time, he saw a blue-skinned figure beside this man!

Ye Zhongming smiled. ”To kill you, I had to have something up my sleeve!”

As he spoke, black energy began to swirl around him, and in an instant, Ye Zhongming completed his transformation, becoming a massive giant of black mist!

To one side, the colossal Stone Dragon also flew over, hovering above the battlefield.

Ye Zhongming had resurrected, and not only that, he had brought two brand-new great-expert-level fighters into the fray! And after his transformation, his own strength had also broken through the hundred-thousand Furelai barrier, making him another great expert!

This meant that, on top of their existing strength, the Su Clan and the small-race alliance had suddenly added three fully intact great experts!

The hearts of all the Huoʼer Star people sank. After two seconds of stunned silence, they let out discordant roars and charged toward the battlefield.

But before they could move, the resurrected Ye Zhongming had already begun his attack. After summoning the Mountain Fury, he let out a roar that shook heaven and earth!
