Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 672: Chapter 54 Suppression! (Two in One)_2

This didn’t prove that the three soul pets were weak!

Seeing the Laughing Monk make a violent charge, the three soul pets were no less aggressive, pouncing towards him almost simultaneously.

The fastest among them, Victor, was the first to reach the target.

The golden Chan Staff in the Laughing Monk’s hand was as agile as a finger. As Victor closed within a hundred meters of the Laughing Monk, the Monk immediately began to twirl his Chan Staff. The massive staff emitted a fierce whistling sound, creating successive Sound Explosions. A vague mist rapidly condensed where the staff passed—this was moisture in the air liquefying due to the extreme pressure! It was then instantly evaporated by the immense force.

Seeing this, Wen Yu’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

In terms of pure strength, I’m far weaker than the Laughing Monk!

BOOM!

The nearly three-meter-long Chan Staff slammed fiercely into the ground. The distant Wen Yu could even feel tremors, as if from an earthquake!

Dust filled the air, obscuring Wen Yu’s sight, but through the haze, he saw Victor appear behind the Laughing Monk.

The Netherworld had already been activated.

The next second, several figures emerged directly from behind the Laughing Monk—they were Netherworld Warriors! Several Level 4 Netherworld Warriors pounced onto the Laughing Monk’s legs, only to be stomped into oblivion by his feet!

However, they had played their part.

The brief delay caused the Laughing Monk’s movements to falter slightly. Immediately after, a massive Dragon Claw descended upon him!

BUZZ.

A piercing hum sounded as the Laughing Monk raised his Chan Staff, forcefully blocking Star’s attack. Then, like a nail, the Monk was fiercely hammered into the ground by Star’s assault!

Shell Breaking Storm activated. Dragon Flame activated.

Under the effects of Dragon Blood Amplification and the suppression from the Dragon’s Aura Field, the Laughing Monk was no match for Star in a head-to-head fight.

Into this deathly domain of Dragon Flame and Dragon Scales, a gray figure forcefully burrowed its way—Cyclops, wielding Ultra Mortal Combat and the Blood and Flesh Badge, was fearless against Star’s area-of-effect skills.

However, the negative effects of the Dragon’s Aura Field still affected Cyclops...

Black flames began to spread—within the Dragon’s Aura Field, Cyclops, whose Mortal Combat couldn’t unleash its full potential, dared not approach the Laughing Monk.

His physical attributes weren’t superior, and he even fell significantly short in terms of species innate talent. Despite having Great Feast, Cyclops still seemed somewhat powerless on the battlefield against Star and the Laughing Monk.

Great Feast, though an Esoteric Level skill, excelled in growth potential. In terms of combat prowess, it was inferior even to a B-Class Skill...

However, Cyclops’s approach was clearly clever: enduring the baptism of Star’s Shell Breaking Storm while slowly augmenting his own combat power.

Since upgrading Mortal Combat, Cyclops might never have fully unleashed the ultimate combat power of his Ultra Mortal Combat.

Perhaps this is a chance for me to witness something new?

Who knows...

Seeing the Laughing Monk completely suppressed by his soul pets on the battlefield, Wen Yu nodded lightly.

That’s more like it.

If the three soul pets I’ve painstakingly nurtured, two of which are divine beasts, can’t even handle a dead man, then all my efforts would truly be a joke...

Wen Yu selectively forgot the fact that the Laughing Monk was only Level 4.

But that’s not important. I can’t be bothered with any kind of warrior spirit—I just want results!

MOO!

The Laughing Monk once again unleashed an unknown Cultivation Technique, accompanied by what could only be described as a terrifying energy field. A vast spatial power began to spread. Star and Cyclops, who were close by, were instantly immobilized by this force, unable to move an inch.

The next second, the Laughing Monk violently burst out from underground, swinging his enormous Chan Staff and bringing it crashing down on Star, who was closest to him!

However, the Laughing Monk’s attack missed once again...

Victor, standing in the distance, quickly activated the power of the Netherworld, instantly pulling Star and Cyclops to his side.

Netherworld...

This ability is perfect for both direct assault and support.

An ability with no weaknesses whatsoever. This is what earned it the title of the ’strongest divine beast species,’ as once mentioned by Lin Haifeng.

Of course, with Tang Haofei’s existence, that claim has long since become a joke...

The battle between the Laughing Monk and the three soul pets once again reached a stalemate.

The Laughing Monk stood his ground, a gentle smile still on his face, but Wen Yu could clearly sense that the aura fluctuations around him had weakened slightly.

These dead souls can still fight after death. I don’t know the principle behind it, but the law of conservation of energy is immutable.

After such a brief yet intense battle, and unleashing so many Cultivation Techniques and skills, he must have consumed a tremendous amount of energy!

Moreover, I firmly believe this Laughing Monk definitely can’t last much longer...

And the Laughing Monk, even without consciousness or a Soul, still possessed powerful combat instincts that allowed him to make the correct judgments—just like how he handled Victor’s sneak attack earlier!

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light erupted from the Laughing Monk’s body, as dazzling as a miniature Sun. In less than three seconds, the originally two-meter-tall Laughing Monk had transformed into a golden Buddha, ten meters tall, with a portly head and large ears.

Combat Gold Body (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skill)!

It’s definitely an Esoteric Level skill, no doubt about it. Just by looking at this light and shadow effect on the Laughing Monk, I can tell.

But so what if it’s an Esoteric Level skill?

The performance of my three soul pets just now was quite satisfactory, and their teamwork was rather impressive.

My three soul pets aren’t weak to begin with. In fact, by my estimation, any one of them, taken out individually, could put up a good fight against the Laughing Monk. Now, in a three-on-one fight where their skills complement each other, even if this Laughing Monk pulls out another Esoteric Level skill, he can’t escape the fate of being killed!

Besides, who knows if the Laughing Monk has already used another Esoteric Level skill?

That Illusion Technique that trapped Victor, the method of materializing the Chan Staff, that spatial immobilization ability, or the various light and shadow effects on his body... they could be inherent passive buffs. Or perhaps abilities that enhance his perception, or something like Great Feast that offers no direct combat assistance.

Who knows...

Things like skills... you definitely can’t figure them out just by guessing...

The giant golden Buddha, with an even more ferocious and indomitable aura, charged towards the three soul pets.

CLANG~~

A sound like a striking bell rang out. The lines of attack and blockades Victor had formed within the Netherworld were directly shattered by the Laughing Monk. Then, ignoring the attacks from Cyclops and Star, the Laughing Monk raised his equally enlarged Chan Staff and brought it smashing down on Victor—with Victor, or rather, with the Netherworld present, the Laughing Monk couldn’t hope to kill any unit on the field!

WHOOSH! Victor once again utilized the power of the Netherworld, instantly teleporting further back, leaving Cyclops and Star to face the Laughing Monk’s ferocious assault.

The Dragon’s Aura Field activated once more. But this time, the Dragon’s Aura Field, amplified by burning Dragon Blood, didn’t produce the effect Star had anticipated.

The giant Chan Staff and Star’s sharp claws instantly collided!

CRACK! Star cried out in pain.

One of Star’s fingers had been snapped by the Laughing Monk on the spot!

Combat Gold Body could negate negative statuses—this information was immediately relayed to the minds of the three soul pets.

Seeing the Laughing Monk raise his Chan Staff again, as if to chop down like splitting firewood, the Netherworld activated once more, instantly teleporting Cyclops and Star far away.

Well, regardless of whether the tactic is underhanded or not, it’s indeed the most effective combat plan.

They’re simply bullying the Laughing Monk for his poor mobility; the three soul pets are dead set on fighting a guerrilla war against him.
