Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 493 - 82: Arrive_2

An immense force surged, and with a crisp CRACK, Qin Tian’s bone sword snapped in two. Then, the giant sword slowed ever so slightly. And this tiny deceleration was Qin Tian’s only chance of survival!

His legs completely immobilized, Qin Tian could only twist his waist with all his might. A startling CRACK rang out! Amidst the violent muscle contractions, he felt a sudden pang of pain around his waist before a flash of icy light instantaneously slashed across his arm. The next instant, blood spouted from Qin Tian’s shoulder like a fountain! Within just a few brief exchanges, Qin Tian had lost an arm to the combined assault of four Undead Arthurs and a Peak Level 5 Tentacle Demon Fiend!

At this moment, what Qin Tian felt was not pain, but utter despair!

My left hand severed, my waist injured from my own sudden exertion, my legs bound by two tentacles, completely immobile... The flesh cocoon above is about to clone a duplicant of me any second, and I’m facing Undead Arthurs whose strength rivals my own... This is a completely hopeless situation.

Never mind what happens when my duplicant appears; just surviving now is a monumental challenge.

Watching the nearest Undead Arthur, not content with severing his arm, raise its giant sword once more and bring it down like thunder, Qin Tian mustered all his strength and unleashed another Profound Sword Technique! Of course, it was a double-strength version. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This Profound Sword Technique, combined with the Power that Breaks Space and Space Slice, slammed directly onto the Undead Arthur’s blade, unleashing an enormous force. Perhaps because it was Soul-Armored, the Heavy Sword in the Undead Arthur’s grip seemed an extension of its arm. The Heavy Sword, along with the Undead Arthur, was sent flying backward, crashing hard into a distant storefront.

Then, almost simultaneously, three Heavy Swords pierced Qin Tian’s body.

Bright red blood bloomed like an eerie flower, spraying onto the ground beneath Qin Tian.

Deep beneath the earth, sudden vibrations echoed. Dozens of tentacles of varying thickness shot out from the ground, greedily absorbing the blood that had sprayed onto the soil.

Qin Tian’s body twitched slightly, but the intense pain that followed made him instinctively stop struggling.

The next moment, the Undead Arthur who had been sent flying with its sword emerged nonchalantly from a pile of rubble. It even took a moment to dust off its armor before striding forward, hoisting its Heavy Sword, and aiming a strike at the head of Qin Tian, who was pinned helplessly in place.

BOOM! The sound explosion echoed in the distance. The Heavy Sword transformed into a silver flash, hurtling at lightning speed toward Qin Tian’s face. This attack was a killing blow!

And Qin Tian, fully aware of his grim situation, closed his eyes in despair. Struggle? It’s meaningless now.

But the next second, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot to Qin Tian’s side in the twinkling of an eye. The violent force instantly sent the leaping Undead Arthur flying. This was followed by three consecutive heavy kicks that ruthlessly launched the three Undead Arthurs in front of Qin Tian into the air as well. The three Heavy Swords, still clutched firmly in their hands, were ripped from Qin Tian’s body by the force of the kicks, sending blood spraying everywhere.

As the saying goes, "An eye for an eye." Just moments ago, Qin Tian had bisected four Arthur duplicants. Now, the force and angle at which the three Heavy Swords were ripped out severed Qin Tian at the waist. And Faceless seemed indifferent to Qin Tian’s life-or-death situation.

Subsequently, the ground began to tremble...

Accompanied by a force akin to an earthquake, sharp roars surged up from beneath the ground. Then, a large earthen sphere, nearly ten meters in diameter, rose from the ground. Inside, it enveloped a grotesque, octopus-like Demon Fiend.

Dozens of its slimy, sticky tentacles flailed ceaselessly, but they were utterly unable to break free from the earth confining its body.

When it came to ambushes, this bizarre-looking Demon Fiend was quite strong. But in a head-on assault, it was simply not up to par!

While the octopus-like Demon Fiend struggled desperately, a black shadow sped approached from the distance.

The newcomer was, naturally, Wen Yu. After severing his mental link with Victor, he had already sent Faceless to the battlefield ahead of him.

Although, in terms of overall strength, Faceless was definitely no match for Wen Yu, who possessed the Soul Battlefield, Faceless was far superior in speed. This was due to physical attributes, species innate talent, and skill-based speed enhancements; in all these areas, Wen Yu could not compare to Faceless.

After obtaining the Soul Battlefield, Wen Yu had also formulated a general plan for his power system and combat style: it would certainly not be geared towards close combat.

As for now, judging by the results, sending Faceless ahead had been a brilliant move. At least, Qin Tian had been saved, albeit only by a hair’s breadth.

Wen Yu slowly crouched beside Qin Tian. Looking down at him, once again missing his lower body, Wen Yu felt a sense of helplessness.

This kid... he hasn’t even been with me for a month, and he’s already had half his body destroyed twice...

But that’s not important. What matters is that in this world, as long as you’re not dead, you can be saved!

Wen Yu promptly opened his space ring and poured bottle after bottle of high-efficiency healing medicine into Qin Tian’s mouth. Qin Tian’s injuries this time were far more severe than the last; he didn’t even have the strength left to access a space ring himself.

Seeing Qin Tian’s wounds slowly healing and a faint glimmer returning to his eyes, Wen Yu finally stood up to assess the surrounding battle.

Arthur was still entangled with two impostors. Judging from his heavy panting, his stamina was almost completely depleted.

Behind him, the octopus Demon Monster, imprisoned in the earthen sphere controlled by Faceless, seemed to sense impending doom and struggled even more fiercely.

Not far away, the four Undead Arthurs had stood up again. Carrying their giant swords, they trudged forward step by step, their gazes fixed on Qin Tian lying on the ground. Perhaps this is their desire for resurrection...

After a moment of calculation, Wen Yu decisively said to Faceless, "Take care of them. I’ll deal with this thing behind us. And let me deliver the final blow to those four."

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s command, Faceless clenched his fists and shot forward without a word.

As Faceless rushed forward, the Undead Arthurs sensed a great threat and raised their swords, preparing to defend. Though their intelligence was unknown, these duplicants possessed genuinely terrifying combat instincts.

The moment Faceless moved, the earthen sphere encasing the octopus Demon Monster collapsed. The Demon Monster, as if finding a renewed hope for survival, began to thrash its disgusting tentacles even more violently.

As long as I touch the ground, I’ll have a chance to live! the octopus Demon Monster thought.

However, Wen Yu was not some soft-hearted fool who would let a tiger return to the mountains or show misplaced kindness. He hadn’t ordered Faceless to finish off the octopus Demon Monster directly because... this was a Peak Level 5 Demon Fiend! A truly substantial source of nourishment!

Before the octopus Demon Monster could touch the ground, a black light instantly enveloped its body! A binding force far stronger than before rendered the Demon Monster completely immobilized, unable to even move its tentacles.

The next second, a verdant plant abruptly shot out from Wen Yu’s body. It drilled straight into the black sphere of light, and the octopus Demon Monster felt a wave of pain. Instantly, an endless stream of its Blood and Flesh Essence was decomposed, devoured, and transmitted through the Almighty Demon Vine into Wen Yu’s body!

Feeling the upper limit of his physical strength slowly rising, Wen Yu sighed in satisfaction, "Just as I thought, quite the nourishment. A full 10 physique points..."

After obtaining the Almighty Demon Vine, the power of this terrifying biological weapon, nurtured by a cultivation civilization, was displayed to the world for the first time!
