Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Lip-smacking appetizers before the showdown, named How Yanjing Punishes Traitors.

Watching Qin Tian and Walter below, Wen Yu slowly squinted his eyes, continuously adjusting his state of mind.

The true battle, inevitably, was a contest between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, with Wen Yu certainly left for last—although unwilling to admit it, Wen Yu had been chasing Tang Haofei’s footsteps all along until today. Wen Yu finally gained confidence in facing Tang Haofei, the darling of this world, head-on and aimed to seize the title of the strongest on the most radiant stage.

The Sequence Member-Ranking Battle was the perfect opportunity.

And before that, Wen Yu didn’t mind allowing this group of lower sequence members to put on a good show, serving as a warm-up for the ultimate sacred duel...

When the words of the Golden Armor signaled the start of the battle, a ghastly white bone sword appeared in Qin Tian’s hand. He glanced at Walter ahead, silently uttered an apology in his heart, and immediately, his entire demeanor transformed!

The bone sword in his hand swiftly emitted a dazzling light, the fierce sword qi began flickering, and gradually merged with Qin Tian himself. At the same time, Qin Tian’s aura grew increasingly fierce, increasingly strong, and rapidly surpassed the peak that Qin Tian’s level of strength should possess. As Qin Tian’s opponent, Walter could only watch as Qin Tian’s momentum kept rising.

”Profound Sword Technique... Are you actually serious?”

A cry of disbelief escaped Walter’s mouth, not waiting for the echo to dissipate. Qin Tian’s aura had already reached a level that made everyone’s heart skip a beat. Even Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, observing from the box, widened their eyes, staring intently at the bone sword in Qin Tian’s hand.

”I’m sorry...”

Qin Tian’s body trembled continuously, as if bearing immense pressure, until the words ”I’m sorry” were spoken. Only then did Qin Tian slowly raise his right hand, and then gently slash...

It seemed as if he just waved his hand, yet after Qin Tian’s wave, the aura that had just gathered instantly dissolved, and subsequently, Qin Tian, as if exhausted, fell headlong to the ground.

Everything seemed as if nothing had occurred, accompanying Qin Tian’s fall, Walter’s body instantly froze, without any further movement, leaving the entire arena silent for approximately three to five seconds. Even the spectators by the Exchange Stone Pillars became somewhat impatient.

”This looks like match-fixing, doesn’t it?”

”What the hell, with such an impressive aura, turns out to be just for show...”

”Couldn’t be that he didn’t hit, right?”

Various comments emerged at the Exchange Stone Pillars, even on the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle field, most didn’t comprehend what had just transpired, only Wen Yu and Tang Haofei in Box 1 swallowed simultaneously, faces heavy.

No, this sword, only Tang Haofei and Wen Yu saw the truth...

”Profound Sword Technique, really? How come there’s something like this!”

Looking at Qin Tian gasping like a dying dog on the stage, Tang Haofei glanced at the immobile Walter, speaking gravely.

Whereas Wen Yu merely showed a thoughtful expression, after a while, muttered to himself: ”Absolute Kill Slash... Hey... This is a conceptual killer!”

Since there’s conceptual Immoveability—also known as conceptual defense—there is, indeed, conceptual Absolute Kill Slash—also known as conceptual offense.

Profound Sword Technique, as an Esoteric Level skill, theoretically shouldn’t produce this kind of ultimate Deadly Weapon, yet seven years of nurturing led to a qualitative change in weight, this sword transformed from purely enhancing power to some form of conceptual one-hit-kill attack.

As for what sparks would fly when conceptual Immoveability encountered conceptual Absolute Kill Slash... This requires proof by fact.

...

The Qin Tian versus Walter arena remained silent for over ten seconds... Until Walter’s body began to fluctuate.

This wasn’t muscle spasms, but similar to ripples, the ripples quickened, intensified, until eventually, Walter seemed like a basin of water splashed onto the arena, condensing into a small pool.

The pool kept rippling, yet the rippling speed slowed until tranquility returned. Meanwhile, Walter’s life aura rapidly vanished, and at last, Walter disappeared entirely, leaving only slight dampness behind.

”Dead!”

”Dead...”

Tang Haofei and Wen Yu simultaneously voiced, with Walter’s skills, there was no way to conceal aura under their gaze, his aura disappearing left only one possibility...

”The battle is over... Sequence Number 4 wins, Sequence Number 3 is dead, and the sequence ranking under it ascends by one spot, with the best performer from the challenge chosen as Sequence Number 100.”

The Golden Armor’s voice resounded, and the entire world instantly erupted!

”Dead? How did he die?”

”Damn, this Sequence Number 4 is incredible.”

”How come dead just like that? Aren’t Sequence Member-Ranking Battles supposed to guarantee absolute safety?”

Clamor arose from worldwide, even within Box 1, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei could hear discussions from surrounding boxes.

They fundamentally didn’t understand what conceptual Absolute Kill Slash entailed...

”The Dominator’s defensive shield and safeguards were only set for conventional sequence battle capabilities, just like the fight I had with Dick earlier, the Dominator’s methods couldn’t suppress me, and neither could it suppress this conceptual Absolute Kill Slash. Getting hit by this sword, there’s simply no conceivable reason not to die... Such a pity for Walter’s prowess.”

Wen Yu’s gentle sigh echoed, simultaneously feeling deeply troubled about Qin Tian—Wen Yu didn’t know if his Ancient Dragon’s Wrath could be exempt, but probably not, the skill level isn’t enough, the weight determination isn’t enough, so theoretically, if this sword struck Wen Yu, he’d have to endure obediently...

And Tang Haofei’s face was even darker—Walter hadn’t died at the Demon Tribe’s hand, yet perished under his own people. This was an unbearable agony for Tang Haofei!

”I’ll go to Lin Haifeng for an explanation!”

Old Tang immediately wanted to question Lin Haifeng, why he instructed Qin Tian to kill Walter, while Wen Yu just shook his head, advising: ”I reckon the old man didn’t foresee this development, look at Qin Tian, currently bewildered, perhaps even he doesn’t comprehend what just happened...”

...

In another box, when the Golden Armor’s voice sounded, Lin Haifeng promptly rose from his chair, eyes wide staring at Qin Tian below, his face full of astonishment.

The effect of Absolute Kill Slash exceeded Lin Haifeng’s expectations.

Around him, military strongmen swallowed simultaneously, countless eyes fell upon Lin Haifeng, and at this moment of worldwide attention, Lin Haifeng just managed a wry smile.

”I didn’t foresee this sword being this powerful either...”
