Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 145 - 143: Yang Jing’s Challenge

Without a doubt, Lin Yuan has gotten even stronger now.

As for who’s stronger between Lin Yuan and Yang Jing, Day Traveler can no longer tell.

Because, whether it’s Lin Yuan or Yang Jing, both give her the feeling that they could instantly kill her.

"You’ve gotten stronger again!" Day Traveler stared at Lin Yuan for a while, unsure of what to think.

Only after a long time did Day Traveler continue speaking, "Since you’re confident in dealing with Yang Jing, I’ll have to inform him that you’re back."

"My task is to keep an eye on you. If I can’t relay the news of your return, they might grow suspicious."

Lin Yuan had no fear of Yang Jing.

At this stage, he didn’t care how strong others were.

Because, no matter how strong they were, they couldn’t possibly be stronger than him.

"Let him come then!"

"Yang Jing, is it? Someone from the Deceitful King Faction’s Ghost Leader Ma Family?"

"I want him to know that Peng City isn’t a place they can just come and go as they please!" Lin Yuan’s tone carried a murderous intent.

Having said what she needed to say, Day Traveler turned to leave, but then seemed to think of something.

"Oh, right!"

"I need you to take care of someone for me!" Day Traveler made a request.

Upon hearing this request, Lin Yuan’s first thought was, who does this crazy lunatic want to kill this time?

In Lin Yuan’s eyes, Day Traveler was a bona fide lunatic.

Though they were partners, he didn’t dare to agree to her request lightly.

Who knows who she wants to kill? What if she wants to kill Yang Dingguo?

After all, a lunatic could do anything.

Helping her take care of someone wasn’t a big deal.

But whether he could help her or not depended on who she wanted to deal with.

"Who do you want to kill?"

"Let’s hear it," Lin Yuan decided to get to the bottom of things before making a decision.

Day Traveler didn’t beat around the bush, and directly said, "Poison Lord, you’ve crossed paths with him."

"The last remaining member of the Zhang Family hunting squad, apart from me."

"At the time, he’s the only one left who directly caused Night Traveler’s death. He must die, and it’s best if he dies in great pain."

"If possible, can you capture him alive and let me deal with him?"

Lin Yuan: "?????"

Lin Yuan wore a baffled face, thinking, this lunatic is at it again, that one code-named ’Poison Lord’ is in for a world of pain.

However, Poison Lord is a member of the Zhang Family. Lin Yuan was eager for these tycoon family members to die.

Since this lunatic’s target is a member of the Zhang Family, he could agree to this matter.

Capturing Poison Lord and handing him over to Day Traveler wasn’t difficult, and he could do her a favor, which might make her help him in the future.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to agree, Zhuge Ming tugged on his sleeve.

Lin Yuan turned to Zhuge Ming, who gently shook his head.

"No!" Lin Yuan didn’t think twice and directly refused Day Traveler’s request.

Lin Yuan’s refusal surprised Day Traveler, as Lin Yuan had been about to agree, but that kid behind him interrupted.

"Why not?"

"He’s from the Zhang Family. Don’t you want him dead?" Day Traveler retorted.

Lin Yuan exchanged a glance with Zhuge Ming and said, "Zhuge Ming, tell her why not."

Zhuge Ming faced the lunatic Day Traveler with calm and reason.

He slowly began to speak, "Miss Day Traveler, not killing Poison Lord is actually for your own good."

"Last time, when the Zhang Family hunting squad failed in Peng City, aside from Zhang Peng and the third young master of the Zhang Family, you and Poison Lord were the only ones left from the eight-person hunting squad."

"If Yang Jing dares to make trouble for our boss, he’s doomed to die. If Poison Lord also dies, then you’re the only one left."

"If something happens once, it could be a coincidence. But if it happens a second time, it will definitely draw attention."

"Last time, you were the one who returned alive, and this time you’d be the only one to return alive again. If the Zhang Family becomes suspicious of you, how will you explain?"

"You yourself have issues that can’t withstand scrutiny. The Deceitful King Faction isn’t to be trifled with, and if they investigate seriously, your identity could be exposed."

"Keeping Poison Lord alive provides a scapegoat. Even if the Zhang Family grows suspicious, you can put the blame on Poison Lord."

"With our cooperation, it would be easy to pin everything on Poison Lord."

"If you kill Poison Lord now, though you might vent your anger, you’re cutting off your own escape route."

After Zhuge Ming finished his speech, Lin Yuan nodded frequently.

It made a lot of sense!

Day Traveler is an important pawn, and keeping Poison Lord around means he could take the fall for Day Traveler if she were ever exposed.

Day Traveler might be a lunatic, but she wasn’t stupid.

With Zhuge Ming laying it out like this, Day Traveler naturally understood the pros and cons.

"Okay!"

"Then let’s spare his life for now!" Day Traveler agreed, then turned to leave, quickly disappearing.

...

...

Still in that abandoned apartment building.

Yang Jing lay on the sofa, with his legs crossed, seemingly watching a show, with sounds coming from his phone.

"Sister-in-law, open your mouth."

"Old Sun is coming out!"

Yang Jing was watching the 1992 version of Journey to the West, the scene where Sun Wukong passes by the Flaming Mountain and asks Princess Iron Fan for the Bajiao Fan.

Poison Lord was sleeping in the adjacent room. Yang Jing didn’t care for him, and he wasn’t eager to do Yang Jing any favors either.

So he blatantly slacked off.

After all, Poison Lord was from the Zhang Family, and Yang Jing still wanted that half Blood Pill from the Zhang Family.

Therefore, until Poison Lord truly angered Yang Jing, Yang Jing wouldn’t actually kill him.

Poison Lord slacked off, and Yang Jing couldn’t be bothered to manage him.

Anyway, having the Day Traveler watching outside is already enough.

"Tap, tap."

"Tap, tap, tap."

The sound of footsteps echoed, and soon, the Day Traveler walked in from outside.

"He’s back!"

"He’s right at the Wushan Shelter." The Day Traveler’s words were simple and direct, exactly what Yang Jing wanted to hear.

"Back."

Yang Jing jumped up from the couch, clearly very excited in his words.

The final payment from the Zhang Family, which is the remaining half Blood Pill, was something Yang Jing was determined to get!

Only by killing Lin Yuan could he secure the final payment.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn’t wait to head to the Wushan Shelter to kill Lin Yuan.

The sooner he killed Lin Yuan, the sooner he could get the remaining half Blood Pill to save his sister.

However, just as he reached the door, Yang Jing stopped in his tracks.

"Forget it, let him live for one more day."

"Tomorrow morning, I’ll go kill him tomorrow morning," Yang Jing muttered to himself.

Originally, Yang Jing was ready to set off and kill Lin Yuan right now.

But then he thought, tonight belongs to the Evil Spirits!

Fierce battles at night could very likely trigger a large-scale Evil Spirit outbreak.

At that time, unexpected complications might arise.

Therefore, it’s safer to go kill Lin Yuan during the daytime.

...

...

Early the next morning.

Yang Jing appeared at the entrance of the Wushan Shelter.

Zhang Zhen, leading several Life Pattern Masters sent by Yang Dingguo, was patrolling. Seeing Yang Jing at the entrance, he immediately went up to drive him away. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Who goes there?"

"This is a private shelter, no unauthorized persons are allowed near!" Zhang Zhen shouted, signaling Yang Jing to leave immediately.

Yang Jing gave Zhang Zhen a cold look and said harshly, "I’m looking for Lin Yuan, let him come out and see me!"

Zhang Zhen, being a hothead, flared up hearing Yang Jing’s tone.

"Who the hell are you!"

"Do you think you can see our boss whenever you please?"

"What kind of rank are you, daring to say you want to see our boss."

"Better scram before I get angry, or I’ll show you why the flowers are so red," Zhang Zhen’s sharp tongue lashed out, while he kept pushing Yang Jing.

"Bang!"

Yang Jing prefers action over words.

He punched Zhang Zhen in the face, sending him flying a dozen meters away, hanging onto a distant tree.

Yang Jing only wanted Lin Yuan’s head to exchange for the Blood Pill to save his sister.

He really didn’t want to involve others, but Zhang Zhen’s mouth was simply unbearable, leaving him no choice but to act.

Even when acting, Yang Jing didn’t strike lethally, only sending Zhang Zhen flying.

"You hit me!"

"You dare hit me!"

"I won’t let you off!" Zhang Zhen unleashed his Wind Thunder Wings, struggling down from the tree, preparing to fight Yang Jing.

"Zhang Zhen, you’re no match for him!"

At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice sounded, as Lin Yuan appeared at the outskirts of the Wushan Shelter.

Lin Yuan appeared drowsy, with messy hair, wearing only sleepwear.

It’s clear Lin Yuan had just woken up!

"Boss, who is he?"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Zhang Zhen withdrew and flew behind Lin Yuan to ask.

"He’s here to kill me!" Lin Yuan said with utter calmness.

Zhang Zhen: "?????"

Zhang Zhen looked bewildered, thinking, someone’s here to kill you, and you’re this calm!

Boss, are you still half-asleep?

"Boss, did you wake up too abruptly?"

"Why don’t I handle him for a while, until you wake up fully?" Zhang Zhen suggested tentatively.

"Hmph!" Lin Yuan glanced at Yang Jing, sneering, "Deal with him?"

"Not to mention waking abruptly, even sleepwalking would be enough!"

"Alright, just stay aside, I need to return for a nap after dealing with him!"

After having Zhang Zhen and the others retreat to a safe distance, Lin Yuan sized up Yang Jing.

"Deceitful King Faction’s dog?"

"The True Monarch Erlang’s tattoo is wasted on you!"

"Why would anyone turn themselves into a dog for the Deceitful King Faction?" Lin Yuan’s tone was icy.

Yang Jing frowned, not understanding Lin Yuan’s words.

Yang Jing truly didn’t know what the Deceitful King Faction was?

All along, he was just a driver, and in his eyes, he was serving a business association.

The Ghost Leader in his eyes, was just the president of the association.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

"But, I must kill you!"

"I have no choice but to kill you!"

After saying this, a Three-Pointed Double-Blade Knife manifested in his hand, and with a fierce stomp, he leaped up, slashing down at Lin Yuan.
