Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Tang... Tang... Tang One?”

As a ”partner” of the Demigod, Ye Nan had naturally heard about what happened to Tang Haofei, the entanglement between Tang One and Tang Two.

He’d originally thought Tang One had long since been crushed by Tang Two and completely vanished from this world, yet now, from the clear eyes of Tang Haofei, Ye Nan immediately sensed that something was off...

All of their damn plans were built on the premise that Tang Haofei was Tang Two. If Tang Haofei suddenly turned back into Tang One... letting this big brother out would just be asking for trouble...

”Tang One... Mm, that’s what you’re calling me, huh? Fair enough.”

Tang Haofei’s lips curled into a smile, but his hands didn’t move any further—he’d heard of Ye Nan’s name before. If you didn’t clear out this guy’s Avenger bodies, you couldn’t kill him at all. Although Tang Haofei really wanted to see just how annoying an undying body was, now was not the time.

”I’ll give you a chance. Tell me what the hell is going on right now...”

Ye Nan looked helpless, but as a breeze brushed past, he quickly calmed down.

”The will of Earth—mm, our Mother—wants to see you.”

...

Tang Haofei fell silent, thinking, then after a while still shook his head. His punch shot out like lightning, the power not leaking a single bit... Tang Haofei’s mastery over his strength had already reached some kind of limit.

He lifted his head again and looked at Ye Nan, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.

”Bang.”

A simple straight punch slammed out, smashing heavily into Ye Nan’s body, but aside from a powerful collision, it had no other effect.

”Undying body? Relatively Invincible or absolutely Invincible?”

Tang Haofei pondered as he sighed over how troublesome Ye Nan’s class was. Then he let go of Ye Nan and said, ”Then lead the way...”

Ye Nan was probably also frightened by that sudden heavy blow just now. Now that he relaxed, he immediately remembered his own ability...

Mad, I’m undying, remember.

Thinking of that, Ye Nan gradually calmed down. He looked at Tang Haofei and spoke out the content from their original plan.

”There’s one more thing not done. You need to take back Eternal Sky City’s control authority.”

”No need. Things are fine as they are now.”

Tang Haofei spread out his perception, clearly sensing the chaos in the Yanjing Assembly Site below, as well as the total number of powerful experts in the entire Eternal Sky City and Yanjing Assembly Site.

There were hundreds of Breakthrough Achievers. The Yanjing Assembly Site had flourished and grown in just five years; just the strength on the surface was already strong enough.

Yanjing was developing well... the people were prosperous, the army strong and full of Strong Power. Tang Haofei couldn’t be more satisfied.

And this was exactly what he and Lin Haifeng had wanted when they drew up the sleep plan, right?

Thinking of this, a sudden smile hooked up at the corner of Tang Haofei’s mouth.

So there wasn’t much that needed changing... Maybe his awakening instead would cause unease and turmoil and actually affect this great situation.

Five and a half years... kind of feels unnecessary now... but that’s fine too...

Thinking of this, Tang Haofei glanced at Ye Nan, a dangerous light filling his eyes.

”Let’s go, hurry up and lead the way. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting you taste everything I went through, like lying in some crappy coffin for ten or twenty years.”

Hearing that, Ye Nan was stunned, then his face immediately turned ugly—undying didn’t mean Invincible. With Ye Nan’s Peak Level 6 physical stats, the ways Tang Haofei could torment him were countless.

In less than two seconds, Ye Nan had already weighed the pros and cons and promptly submitted to Tang Haofei’s tyranny...

”Alright, alright, you’re the boss, you call the shots. Follow me.”

Ye Nan got up from the ground and lifted his foot, ready to walk off into the distance, when a big hand suddenly slapped down on his shoulder, pressing down and stopping his next move. Then another voice rang out.

”Letting you take back Eternal Sky City’s control authority isn’t about wrecking the Yanjing Assembly Site’s peace and stability, it’s just to rein Wen Yu in a bit. While you were gone, Wen Yu’s been living pretty damn carefree. Your Eternal Sky City created way too many convenient conditions for Wen Yu and made his growth speed impossible to restrain.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demigod’s figure appeared behind Ye Nan...

Watching the Demigod slowly walk out from behind Ye Nan, staring at the mask covering the Demigod’s face, a vicious light flashed in Tang Haofei’s eyes.

”You bastard... you should be the main culprit of this whole mess, right? You caused this much damage to Yanjing—no way in hell I’m letting you off this time.”

The Demigod couldn’t help but snicker at that. He shook his head lightly, still locking his gaze on Tang Haofei’s eyes. ”In this kind of situation, I think you should let Tang Two come out and see me.”

”Tang Two... what Tang Two? There is no Tang Two!”

Tang Haofei cracked his knuckles and strode toward the Demigod. He really did look like he wanted to teach the Demigod a lesson, but his unhurried movements clearly exposed what he was thinking.

”Wen Yu’s power has to be suppressed. That’s not my idea—that’s Earth’s will. Alright, since you don’t get it when I say it that way, I’ll switch it up!”

The Demigod cleared his throat, then said to Tang Haofei in a grating, punchable tone, ”It’s been five and a half years, Tang Haofei. Your strength is obsolete. Wen Yu can tidy you up with ease now. You’re no longer the so-called world’s strongest from the legends! So, for the sake of your dignity, for your pride, hurry up and take back Eternal Sky City’s control authority. Mm...”

The Demigod checked his watch.

”You’ve got about an hour. Otherwise, when Wen Yu comes back, he’ll beat and seal you again. This time he doesn’t even need Faceless; he just needs to pound your face with his fists, one punch at a time, and you’ll get wrecked head-on till you’re unrecognizable, all your white teeth knocked out, your face covered in blood. Put it that way, you get it now?”

Tang Haofei stopped walking...

Maybe he thought the provocation wasn’t deep enough, so the Demigod added another line.

”Trust me, Tang Haofei, your strength really doesn’t cut it anymore, it’s re—mm...”

Before the Demigod could finish, a huge palm had already slapped across his face. With just one smack, the Demigod’s mask was sent flying on the spot, his face torn open, features mangled, all his white teeth knocked out, his face covered in blood.

And faced with this giant slap he couldn’t defend against or even see clearly, the Demigod just clutched his face, letting out a low, rumbling chuckle.

”Stings, doesn’t it? Pisses you off, huh? Feel humiliated yet? The son of the world, and you can’t even beat some random wild card...”

He’d barely said half when a big hand grabbed a fistful of the Demigod’s hair and hoisted him up.

Fresh blood was still dripping, yet the Demigod just beamed at Tang Haofei in front of him.

Those beastlike, blood-red eyes were staring straight at him, the unhidden frenzy and bloodlust in them making the Demigod feel like he’d fallen into Chilly Winter.

”If you’ve got the balls, say that again!”
