Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 195: Chapter 151: The Correct Way to Open Dislimning!_1

”Well then, good luck to you!”

After Wen Yu offered his final blessing, he immediately deactivated his combat state, withdrew Cyclops into the Soul Realm, and then re-entered combat state, his feet slowly sinking into the ground.

Dislimning!

He used Dislimning to merge his entire body into the earth, then began moving towards the edge of the barrier, using this method to avoid the chaotic battle raging above.

Perhaps a few creatures possessed burrowing abilities, but with Wen Yu’s current physical prowess, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage, even if fighting underground.

The Dislimning ability seemed simple, but the more Wen Yu used it, the deeper his understanding of it became.

Every S-rank skill and above was anything but simple!

As Wen Yu’s body slowly sank, he finally encountered resistance after a while.

Looking down, he saw a black screen of light emitting a faint glow. This was the boundary of the underground barrier.

The entire Two-Realm Battlefield was enveloped by a circular barrier; there was no escape, whether one flew to the sky or burrowed into the earth.

Well then, so be it...

Wen Yu sighed softly and looked upward. Through the thick layers of earth, it was as if he could see the battlefield above, where creatures were slaughtering each other. It was as if he could see Little Dragon silently enduring the onslaught of all the creatures, Sun Ruixing wandering aimlessly at the edge of the barrier, and the good... and evil hidden deep within the hearts of all beings.

Is this what you wanted? Is this your purpose? Is this the will to survive that you wished to witness?

I’m sorry. All I see is ugliness, though I am one of them.

The battle on the surface raged for an unknown duration. However, Wen Yu could feel himself steadily rising from his initial position as the barrier continuously shrank.

During this time, Wen Yu shifted his location several times, surfacing to reach the Exchange Stone Pillar and trade for some Energy Recovery Potions. This was the primary reason he could remain burrowed underground for so long.

By the time Wen Yu emerged onto the surface for the sixth time, the battle had mostly concluded.

The barrier’s range had shrunk significantly, now possibly less than a kilometer in diameter. Within this area, blood and mangled corpses were strewn everywhere.

A few mutant beasts and a handful of professionists were locked in a desperate struggle.

A chilling killing intent gleamed in their bloodshot eyes. Whether Human or mutant beast, none cared who their next opponent would be.

Because it didn’t matter who the opponent was; ultimately, every other living being was an enemy!

In the spot where Little Dragon had been, countless creature corpses were now piled up, completely obscuring it from view.

Wen Yu didn’t know if Little Dragon was actually dead, but just by looking at the black scales scattered about, he knew that even if Little Dragon wasn’t dead, it was perilously close.

The barrier’s range was small, so Wen Yu’s appearance naturally drew the gazes of the few creatures still present.

”Brother Wen Yu, hurry up and help me!”

The speaker was Sun Aotian.

The kid had vanished somewhere during the battle against the Demon Tribe and hadn’t reappeared even after all the Demon Fiends were dead. It wasn’t until the barrier had shrunk considerably that Sun Aotian finally joined the fray.

Consequently, Sun Aotian hadn’t expended much stamina, which was how he’d managed to last until now.

Zhang Lifei, who was battling Sun Aotian, was in a far more wretched state.

He was covered in wounds and caked with blood, unclear if it was his own or someone else’s.

Li Shanlin lay at Zhang Lifei’s feet. The grievous, hideous wounds on his body indicated he was unmistakably, irrevocably dead.

”Brother Wen Yu, quickly, help me kill this bastard! He ambushed me just now!”

When Sun Aotian saw Wen Yu calmly surveying the surroundings, he grew anxious.

Zhang Lifei was considerably stronger than Sun Aotian. Even now, despite his significant injuries, he was still fighting Sun Aotian on even terms.

However, upon hearing Sun Aotian’s words, Zhang Lifei’s eyes immediately reddened, and he couldn’t stop himself from cursing loudly.

”You goddamn bastard! Me, ambush you? Didn’t we agree to eliminate the mutant beasts first? Then you fucking turned around and sold us out! You dare deny you killed Uncle Shanlin? You dare say these injuries I have aren’t your fault?”

Hearing Zhang Lifei’s roar, Sun Aotian remained silent. Instead, he quickened his attacks while continually sneaking glances towards Wen Yu.

Observing their fight, Wen Yu silently summoned Cyclops.

”Go. Clean up all remaining mutant beasts.”

There weren’t many mutant beasts left to begin with, and their injuries had worsened after the brutal battle. Facing a fresh combatant like Cyclops, they had almost no chance to fight back.

Seeing Wen Yu summon Cyclops but not take a step forward, Sun Aotian called out again.

”Brother! Help me!”

Looking at Sun Aotian’s desperate expression, Wen Yu chuckled softly.

He slowly pulled a cigarette from his space ring, slowly lit it, took a slow drag, and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke.

Then, he drawled, ”Is this amusing?”

Indeed. Is it amusing?

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Sun Aotian and Zhang Lifei, who had been engaged in a fierce ”battle,” slowly ceased their movements. Their gazes, now fixed on Wen Yu, slowly filled with killing intent.

”No more acting,” Sun Aotian said, a bitter smile on his face as he shook his head. He and Zhang Lifei slowly backed away together. ”It really is boring.”

Sun Aotian then asked, ”How did you see through it?”

”I can only say your acting is terrible. Truly awful,” Wen Yu replied.

”The blood on you,” he said, looking at Zhang Lifei, ”isn’t even yours. I’ve been watching for a long time, and I haven’t seen any of your wounds actually bleed.

”Most importantly, you two are ruthless. Especially you!”

Wen Yu fixed his gaze on Zhang Lifei.

”That was your uncle, wasn’t he? And you just killed him. Just like that. From behind? With a skill like an ice spike, wasn’t it? There are still some ice fragments on Li Shanlin’s wound that you didn’t clean up properly.

”Did you see the look in his eyes before he died? He must have been in agony, right? He trusted you enough to leave his back exposed to you, and you killed him. Why?

”Why?”

Wen Yu’s voice was calm, cold.

But Zhang Lifei, as if deeply provoked, roared at Wen Yu, ”What choice did I have if he didn’t die? Only one of us could survive anyway!

”If he hadn’t died, we could never have set up this act, this trap!

”He was going to die anyway! Why couldn’t his death have had more value?!

”And you! Why didn’t you fall for it? Why didn’t you fall for it?!

”Because you didn’t fall for it, he died for nothing! So, it’s you! You’re the one who caused his death!

”That’s right! You killed him!”

”That was a neat trick, shifting the blame like that. I’ll give you props for it.”

Wen Yu nodded at Zhang Lifei and ungrudgingly gave him a thumbs-up.

Then, ignoring Zhang Lifei’s livid face, Wen Yu turned to Sun Aotian.

”I can understand why you’d try to scheme against me. I don’t blame you for that.

”In fact, I should thank you. Because you’ve just given me the perfect reason to kill you.”

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Sun Aotian actually laughed.

”Hypocrite!”
