Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1821: Missing
Whether facing the trials of the Star-Eye Clan in the garbage trial or on the battlefield hunting the Spirit Fire Rhino, Ye Zhongming had always kept his biggest trump card hidden until now.
Bloodline!
The Hell Envoy bloodline, which he had already upgraded to its highest level back on Earth.
In the Cloud Peak King’s view, this was his greatest reliance.
Now, surrounded by five level-nine opponents, Ye Zhongming finally played this card.
His eyes turned pitch black, the skin beneath his leather armor began to be covered in mysterious patterns, and his entire aura surged dramatically.
Ye Zhongming was already a top-tier evolved, but after being enhanced by his bloodline, the aura he emitted was enough to make other lifeforms tremble.
Behind him, a massive black hole illusion appeared, with lightning constantly crackling across it. Near the ground, countless white sands flowed out, and a monster with horns on its head condensed from the white sands, slowly rising.
Lightning Sand Monster!
A top-tier Lightning Sand Monster, massively enhanced.
Its appearance blocked Hawkins’s twin blades. Hands formed from condensed white sand reached out, enveloping the shimmering weapons.
The blade light and the force carried by the blades sliced through the Lightning Sand Monster’s hands and into its body as if they were nothing, but Hawkins immediately halted, attempting to withdraw his blades.
The originally fine, soft white sands instantly solidified, cement-like, trapping the twin blades within. Simultaneously, the horns on its head fired two purple lightning bolts straight at Hawkins’s face.
After failing to withdraw his blades, Hawkins abandoned them, drawing a circle in the air with his hands. A faint light shield appeared before him, barely forming before being struck by the lightning. The two energies erupted in a dazzling burst of light!
Attacking Ye Zhongming alongside Hawkins was Wade.
His attack was somewhat bizarre: his hands first became as soft as noodles, continuously elongating. They stopped after reaching about a meter in length, then began to harden, their tips sharpening and covered in barbs.
As he charged, his ten fingers stabbed toward Ye Zhongming like ten steel spears.
Ye Zhongming tore off the leather armor stained with disgusting mucus, revealing two bone blades in his hands. He swung them left and right, slashing at Wade’s hands, while his body advanced instead of retreating, crashing into Wade.
His speed was so fast that it showed no signs of having just endured two or three layers of Hofkof’s attacks.
Judging by Wade’s abilities, he seemed to be an agility-type warrior. Being entangled by such an opponent was troublesome, so Ye Zhongming decided to engage him in close combat to seize the initiative.
After activating the Hell Envoy bloodline, he was confident he could take down even a warrior from the Numao Race, let alone an agility-type fighter.
The little girl’s long blade struck the mountain shadow, causing it to stall—or more precisely, to enter a stalemate, locked in a standoff with the little girl!
The Mountain King Crown’s ability was no ordinary skill; Ye Zhongming used it as a killer move, so its power was imaginable. Although it had been partially depleted earlier by the Netherworld Starbeing, most of its energy remained. This showed just how terrifying the little girl’s strength was.
Her face flushed red, and the little girl was not having an easy time either. It was only when the light beam fired from Aimusi’s arm struck the mountain shadow that the deadlock ended.
The giant shadow vanished, and the little girl plummeted from the sky.
She had no flight ability; her combat style relied solely on raw courage. Now that her goal was achieved, her old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated, she could only fall.
Aimusi merely glanced coldly in her direction before turning her attention to Ye Zhongming. Whether the little girl would die from the fall was of little concern to her.
Of course, she knew death was unlikely, but an injury would be ideal.
Ye Zhongming was in dire straits.
Although the Lightning Sand Monster temporarily tied up Hawkins, and he had suppressed Wade, Aimusi, Hofkof, and the soon-to-rise little girl were about to free themselves. Once that happened, he would have no chance left.
Now, the only way for Ye Zhongming to seize the initiative was to kill Wade quickly.
But that was easier said than done.
Even if Wade wasn’t the strongest among them, he was certainly in the upper-middle tier. He understood the battlefield situation and Ye Zhongming’s intentions perfectly.
When he saw Ye Zhongming charging at him, his hands had just finished clashing with the Cloud Peak King’s bone blades. Originally planning to break the blades, he abandoned the idea and twisted his body like a fish to the side, avoiding the collision.
Opportunities often last only an instant. Since Wade dodged, it meant Ye Zhongming’s goal of quickly killing one life had failed.
Hofukafu filled the gap left by Wade, blocking Ye Zhongming. The little girl climbed to her feet, shook her dizzy head a couple of times, and gripped her long blade as she moved closer. Aimusi, whom she glared at angrily, only took two steps before stopping.
Though she desperately wanted to kill Ye Zhongming, these people were enough. Her gaze fell on the pitch-black hole.
She had a feeling that something inside posed a danger to her.
……………………………………………………
Earth.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds, just as it had for hundreds of millions of years, illuminating the land.
The only difference was that the life forms on the land continued to undergo changes, both normal and abnormal.
Under the sunlight, there wasn’t just beauty—there was also sin.
Xia Lei slightly narrowed her eyes, concealing the emotions in her heart. She knew that at this moment, she was sinful.
But she felt no guilt. She only knew that to achieve her goal, she had to make an example out of everyone who, upon learning of this, would either observe or resist.
It all came down to one phrase.
Those who submit will prosper; those who resist will perish.
The Beast Manor and Deacon Water had agreed to submit to Cloud Peak, but Chief Commander Mu refused. The Five Ring Money also refused, as did the Cannibal Chain.
Due to her relationship with Deacon Water, Director Tong completely defected to Cloud Peak with her people, splitting Five Ring Money. In the future, she, along with Deacon Water and Lu Yi, would support the commercial department and Puxing Town.
Xia Lei did not make her first move against former allies. Their refusal wasn’t absolute; they clearly didn’t want to sever ties with Cloud Peak. They were still hoping Ye Zhongming would return and stop Cloud Peak’s madness. Since that was the case, Xia Lei felt that if her man really did return and agreed with her methods, these forces could likely be absorbed peacefully.
For her first targets, she chose ten at once!
Cloud Peak’s forces were divided into ten groups to deal with ten renowned factions in the Chinese region.
What “accumulate resources slowly and claim kingship cautiously”? If they took it slow, everything would be too late to unify Earth within fifteen years!
They had to adopt an attitude of “who else but me?”
To ensure an initial victory, she personally led one of the teams!
But just before the battle began, someone suddenly brought her news that was both good and bad.
Qiuqiu… had gone missing!
