Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts
Chapter 964 - 303: The Death of Zhang Shaojie and the Tip of Bai’s Iceberg (Part 2)
Over there, a battle... no, a massacre is taking place!
The enemy count is twenty-three, intelligence Zhang Shaojie risked his life to gather. Yet in a short period, only twelve Demon Fiends remain visible on the battlefield, the rest of the Demon Tribe has vanished! Just by observing the surrounding gale and energy fluctuations, Cyclops can roughly estimate the power of these Demon Tribe members.
As a member of the Glory Squad of the Ancient Demons at Level 6, these Demon Fiends’ strength is extremely formidable, Cyclops saw four of them with a physical quality break of 30,000! The strongest among them, however, is the disappeared Koray.
Currently, Koray sometimes morphs into a raging hurricane that sweeps away everything, and sometimes reveals his form. At the moment of his appearance, Cyclops roughly estimates Koray’s true strength—physical quality over 50,000 points, and the glowing black crystal on his forehead proves Koray is also a demon spawn.
The combined powers are enough to make a normal Peak Level 6 life form despair! Koray alone is beyond what Cyclops can deal with.
Nevertheless, at this moment, Koray seems to be overexerted, standing in place while panting heavily, his eyes somewhat frantic as he looks at the humanoid creature less than two meters tall standing not far from him...
It is indeed a humanoid creature because Koray really doesn’t want to label this suddenly appeared fellow as a "human."
Following Koray’s gaze, Cyclops looks ahead, seeing Bai’s relaxed figure in sight.
The attacks from surrounding Ancient Demons seem like fireworks, highlighting Bai’s formidable defense capabilities, while Bai leisurely wipes the corner of his mouth on this light-shadowed stage.
"The taste is decent..."
After speaking, a scarlet tongue gently licks his lips, and the next moment, Cyclops, in shock, watches Bai’s neck elongate like a snake. Subsequently, his entire head transforms into a sinister, beast-like visage. In a flash of white light, Bai’s head passes over a Demon Fiend, whose figure suddenly vanishes.
Everything happens in an instant, even Cyclops’s keen eyesight senses a confusion of "this might be an illusion," but the disappeared Demon Fiend, Bai’s moving jaws, and the crunching sounds clearly explain what just happened!
Until there’s a crisp gulping sound, a Demon Fiend with a physical quality over twenty thousand points has been devoured entirely by Bai.
...
Seeing Bai’s satisfied smile and the remaining eleven Demon Fiends drenched in fear and despair, Cyclops silently steps back half a pace—the situation is clear here; Cyclops is not needed.
Having confirmed the battle situation is advantageous to "his side," Cyclops then turns his head to look around.
The current location is a pure white space with no extra scenic embellishments, but the space is quite large.
In this vast space, an odd device measuring nearly three meters tall, entirely pale blue, with a quadrilateral base and spherical top, stands not far from the battlefield.
"Is that the Boundary Cracking Device?"
Cyclops asks, then Ye Nan, also idling, responds with a simple "yes," as a form of reply.
Cyclops’s dislike for Ye Nan is obvious, and Ye Nan doesn’t need to warm the cold feet of a dog with warm face, creating a strange tension between them until another flash of white light occurs in the distance...
Perhaps Bai’s skill has a certain interval; this action takes place about ten seconds after the last one. However, judging by the effect compared with this skill’s impact, it is undoubtedly an Esoteric Level skill.
A definite one-hit kill! No chance of survival!
When Bai devours another Ancient Demon, the remaining Demon Fiends unleash more ferocious attacks powered by energy, yet they only falter before Bai’s defense capabilities, ten seconds later, another white flash...
This spectacle makes Cyclops’s eye twitch—this degree of crushing the Demon Tribe powerful expert, Cyclops can only think of Tang Haofei and his own boss, aside from whom no Earth life form could compare to Bai at this moment.
Mission completed... halfway...
Bai’s strength is immense, terrifying, and unfathomable.
Until another flash of white light before him.
...
One minute later, six consecutive white flashes occur, each interval lasting ten seconds, each shot bringing certain death!
Within a brief minute, only three Demon Fiends remain in the space, and at this point, Koray, leading the three Demon Fiends, finally crumbles.
The three Demon Fiends exchange glances and simultaneously halt their actions, simultaneously turning, simultaneously rushing toward the space’s exit—where Cyclops and Ye Nan are situated.
Behind them, Bai, unhurriedly, extends his tongue, slippery and incredibly long, hanging down to his chest, followed by the whip-like scarlet tongue of a snake suddenly shooting out, directly hooking onto the neck of the last Demon Fiend, then Bai’s neck stretches again, another white flash, and the two Ancient Demons behind Koray disappear in an instant...
"Crunch..."
"Crunch..."
Crisp chewing sounds emanate from Bai’s mouth, and the quantity of the two Ancient Demons might have filled Bai a bit, his jaws frantically chewing, a series of hair-raising bone-cracking noises bursts out continuously. Not to mention the enemies, even Cyclops and Ye Nan find Bai’s current appearance putting them in a peculiar head-tingling sensory state.
Hearing the bursting sounds behind him, sensing his comrades’ life aura fading away instantly, Koray’s remaining pupils dilate, seeing Cyclops and Ye Nan ahead getting closer, his entire body transforms into a howling gale, rushing straight towards Cyclops.
Anticipating an intercept, Cyclops slightly crouches, facing the oncoming gale, brewing Flames of Tyranny in his mouth.
The situation is simple and favorable to Cyclops.
As long as Cyclops intercepts Koray for a few seconds, waiting for Bai to finish digesting, Koray will have no chance of escape.
"Boom!"
A demon and a dog collide directly!
...
Cyclops’s prediction is indeed correct, and in fact, Cyclops excellently accomplishes his task—he entangles Koray for over ten seconds...
But the anticipated aid does not appear, and Cyclops’s individual strength is insufficient to intercept Koray for an extended period. When the harsh gale suddenly shifts to a mild breeze and drizzle, Cyclops, unblemished, is blown aside—the understanding that Koray knows Cyclops’s skill system means Ultra Mortal Combat is not triggered...
Cyclops can only helplessly watch Koray disappear into the dimensional teleportation tunnel behind him!
"What are you doing?"
The failure to intercept means mission failure, a situation that infuriates Cyclops!
On one hand, the anger stems from his evidently inadequate strength; on the other, it’s the infuriation at Bai’s indifference...
Scarlet dog eyes turn to Bai behind him, at this moment, Bai is embracing himself with a smile, watching Cyclops. The chewing has long stopped, yet his feet remain unmoved.
"I’m full, so I’m too lazy to kill him."
Bai provides a "completely reasonable" explanation.
"Damn you..."
Cyclops curses under his breath while jumping, glancing at the Dimensional Maze behind, then at Bai and Ye Nan who walks over to Bai; he is caught in a dilemma of whether to advance or stay.
To chase or continue monitoring Bai, that is the question.
Bai quickly offers a suggestion.
"Soon I’ll activate the Boundary Cracking Device to head to the Demon Realm, are you coming?"
Cyclops’s anger halts, shaking his head directly.
"So, at this point, our cooperation can be considered terminated. As for the issue of standing by just now, sorry, my agreement with your boss didn’t include helping him chase and kill people."
Cyclops glares at Bai, furiously shouting, "Damn it, don’t you know what contributions you’ve made? We found the location, handled the troops outside; besides reminding my boss and eating a bit, what else have you done? You’re being so fussy about killing an Ancient Demon."
"I lent Akad to Wen Yu."
"My boss has already paid for that!"
Bai smirks, looking at Cyclops’s indignant persistence, decisively removes the watch from his wrist and tosses it to Cyclops.
"Consider us even with this. By the way, you’ve been acting like a mad dog since the beginning, eyeing this thing, haven’t you? I’m giving it to you, hurry up and chase him, that guy isn’t slow in his run..."
