Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 630 - 16 Tripartite Chase_1

The scenery flashed past, but the increasingly familiar landscape evoked no emotion in Wanping.

Encountering Kasu was purely bad luck.

During their time at the Yanjing Assembly Site, military restrictions and prohibitions meant that even if Kasu held a grudge against him, he couldn't act on it. This showed that Kasu wasn't some utterly brainless, self-righteous fool; he assessed situations, followed rules, and avoided provoking those he couldn't afford to cross—hadn't both Tang Haofei and Wen Yu killed people before? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But it was this wishy-washy, half-baked nature of Kasu's that disgusted Wanping the most.

So he thinks I'm an easy target, huh?

Alright then, let's play!

He sprinted wildly through familiar streets, the sense of danger behind him drawing nearer.

Whenever Kasu flew into his perception range, Wanping would immediately use one or several escape items to get out of Kasu's attack range.

Wanping had plenty of escape items. Ever since offending Wen Yu, collecting them had become his top priority. However, while these items were very effective for a Third-level individual, they weren't nearly as useful against a Level 5 opponent.

These items couldn't help Wanping evade Kasu's senses entirely; they could only create distance. This also showed that if I really did run to Wen Yu, and Wen Yu wanted to kill me, there would be no escape.

Confronting Kasu's pursuit, Wanping had his strategy set from the very beginning. You want to kill me? Fine. But who do you want to kill more—me, or Akad? I'm going to find Akad right now. Let's see who you decide to go after then!

To divert the disaster onto others and fish in troubled waters—this was the only path to survival Wanping could devise in such a short time.

Crucially, Wanping had a good idea of where Ye Nan and his Avenger army were currently located.

「 」

BOOM!

The tremendous sound wave and thunder-like explosion jolted Ye Nan and the others from their deep sleep.

Ye Nan shot up in bed, kicked the loudly snoring Zhang Shaojie awake, and gestured towards the noise outside.

"Go see what's happening!"

Hearing Ye Nan's command, Zhang Shaojie groggily opened his eyes, let out a huge yawn, and then slowly shuffled outside.

A sense of crisis gnawed at Ye Nan. Seeing Zhang Shaojie dawdling, Ye Nan frowned and snapped, "Hurry up! I have a bad feeling we're in trouble!"

"Alright, alright! You're the boss, you're so awesome!" Zhang Shaojie grumbled, quickening his pace.

"Akad? Akad?"

"Huh?"

"Are you with—"

BOOM!

Another deafening explosion, and an intense white light blasted in through the window, making the entire room as bright as day.

Seeing this, Ye Nan and Akad froze.

Ye Nan was stunned by the sheer power of the attack, while Akad was terrified by its source.

Akad feared Kasu far more than he feared Wen Yu. After all, one could still reason with Wen Yu, but Kasu was just a "madman" obsessed with "purifying" evil!

After a long moment, Akad turned to Ye Nan, his face crestfallen, managing a smile that looked worse than tears.

"Sequence Number 5 Kasu. Ye Nan, he's here for me. You have to help me."

Ye Nan was rendered speechless.

To reap the rewards, one must first bear the burden.

Since contracting Akad, Ye Nan hadn't gained much benefit at all, and now he was already expected to help Akad deal with a Sequence Number 5 arch-enemy.

At this moment, it would have been a lie to say Ye Nan wasn't regretting his decision.

「 」

As they say, fate is fickle.

Just as Ye Nan was mulling over whether to abandon Akad or confront Kasu head-on, another piece of "good news" was delivered by a flustered Zhang Shaojie.

"Wanping's outside, and he's running straight this way! Boss, it's time for your revenge!"

Due to his limited perception range, Zhang Shaojie hadn't seen Kasu.

Time for my revenge? Ye Nan thought. We're about to be goddamn "purified" by that lunatic!

His long-sought enemy, Wanping, had unexpectedly delivered himself right to his doorstep. At this moment, Ye Nan's emotions were incredibly conflicted.

Take revenge first? I've lived this long solely for the purpose of getting revenge on Wanping!

Or escape first? Kasu is close by; that choice isn't wrong either.

The two options left Ye Nan caught in a dilemma.

"Ye Nan, that guy Kasu is here for me!" Akad exclaimed. "You can either abandon me and run, but you have to break this damn contract first! Or we run together! If we leave right now, we can still make it!"

"And you, goddammit, snap out of it! Don't even think about revenge right now! My identity, the very aura we exude—either one will make Kasu target us first! If Kasu slaughters us, you'll never get your revenge!"

Akad's words jolted Ye Nan to his senses.

Wanping is running straight for us. Combined with Kasu's relentless attacks outside, it's obvious: Wanping intends to lead this trouble straight to our door! If we don't run, we'll fall right into his scheme. We'll end up confronting Kasu, while Wanping seizes the chance to escape. We'd be doomed, and Wanping would slip away. Isn't that playing right into my enemy's hands?

With this realization, Ye Nan made his decision!

「 」

Sensing three auras within the residential complex, a flicker of malicious satisfaction flashed in Wanping's eyes.

Come on, Ye Nan. You hate my guts, don't you? So come and kill me!
