Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 475 - 469: Peacock Slays Tanlang

Tanlang, Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Cyan Lion Demon, White Elephant Demon, all five of them attacked together, yet they didn’t stand a chance against the Peacock Great Ming King.

Especially after that recent strike from the Peacock Great Ming King, it directly instilled fear in them.

Knowing they were no match for the Peacock Great Ming King, Tanlang and the others could only scheme to get others to join the fight.

"Great Ming King, if you cease now, there’s still room for reconciliation."

"If you continue being so aggressive, we will have no choice but to take action!" Bai Ze shouted towards the Peacock Great Ming King.

Tanlang and the other five were allies with this bunch of ancient beings from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and they couldn’t just sit back and watch Tanlang and the others die.

Now, the Peacock Great Ming King had resolved to kill them at all costs.

Left with no choice, Bai Ze had to unite with the ancient beings from the Ten Thousand Mountains to drive the Peacock Great Ming King away.

Bai Ze’s call to the Peacock Great Ming King was indeed his final warning.

The Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t even be bothered to respond to Bai Ze’s words.

In his view, the ancient beings from the Ten Thousand Mountains were nothing more than a bunch of decrepit and cowardly old fools.

What is there to fear from such insignificant weaklings?

The next moment, the Peacock Great Ming King made his move.

This time, his attack was no longer aimed at Tanlang and the five but at everyone present.

The Peacock Great Ming King revealed his true form, with the Five-Colored Divine Light emerging behind him.

Then, he swept it towards everyone below.

"Everyone, attack together and drive him out!" Bai Ze shouted.

The Ten Thousand Mountains were more of an alliance, a friendship without subordination.

Therefore, Bai Ze could only call upon them without being able to directly command them.

After all, in an alliance, when an ally is in trouble, whether you genuinely step in to help or just pretend to, you still have to take action.

If you help someone today, others won’t stand idly by when you’re in trouble tomorrow.

Among the ancient beings of the Ten Thousand Mountains, some thought the Peacock Great Ming King was too domineering and indeed needed to be taught a lesson.

While others believed that Tanlang and the five were merely reaping what they sowed and deserved to die.

Regardless of the differing opinions, they all eventually stepped in to help.

The Peacock Great Ming King clearly underestimated his enemies strategically but treated them with seriousness tactically.

When he made his move, it was with full force.

Wherever the Five-Colored Divine Light swept, things instantly started to disintegrate and disappear.

The Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock Great Ming King kept sweeping out, making it impossible for the ancient beings from the Ten Thousand Mountains to get close.

In a brief skirmish, the Peacock Great Ming King discerned subtleties among his attackers.

Among the ancient beings surrounding him, at least half were going through the motions, lacking genuine effort.

These individuals not only withheld their full strength but deliberately misdirected their attacks, merely grazing past the Peacock Great Ming King.

They didn’t want to injure the Peacock Great Ming King, to avoid future enmities and reprisals.

As for these idlers, the Peacock Great Ming King chose to ignore them.

The remaining group, like Divine Beast Bai Ze and others, truly aimed to drive away the Peacock Great Ming King to save Tanlang and the five.

They were indeed fighting with all their strength, yet stopped short of risking their lives.

Forced to choose between sacrificing themselves or their allies, they would undoubtedly choose the latter.

Realizing these motives, the Peacock Great Ming King boldly launched an attack, gathering immense strength to sweep his Five-Colored Divine Light at Bai Ze and his group.

Now, the Peacock Great Ming King shifted his main attack focus from the five towards Bai Ze’s side.

Once the main attack direction changed, Bai Ze and the others immediately switched to a defensive stance, and some even distanced themselves for safety.

As for Tanlang and the five, after the Peacock Great Ming King shifted his attack focus, they felt greatly relieved.

With reduced pressure, they didn’t immediately launch an attack on the Peacock Great Ming King but instead took the opportunity to catch their breath.

After all, with difficulty, the Peacock Great Ming King changed targets; they feared that attacking him would attract his attention back again.

Tanlang and the others felt it was better to let Bai Ze and his allies bear the brunt, as this outcome suited them well.

This incident made it clear that even though the ancient beings of the Ten Thousand Mountains were numerous, they lacked unity.

Most importantly, each of them was terribly afraid of dying.

As the saying goes, with cowardly soldiers, even a brave general can’t fight.

When everyone is cowardly, this battle becomes impossible to fight.

Tanlang considered himself clever, but little did he know he was a true fool.

It was this little scheming of his that cost him his own life.

The Peacock Great Ming King’s Five-Colored Divine Light continued to sweep, causing the surrounding space to continually fracture.

After forcing Bai Ze and others to retreat, the Peacock Great Ming King suddenly entered the shattered space.

Just as everyone was puzzling over this, the Peacock Great Ming King re-emerged from the fractured space.

This time, he appeared right behind Tanlang.

Tanlang had barely caught his breath when he heard the Ox Demon and Cyan Lion Demon shout, "Tanlang, watch out."

Unfortunately, their warning came too late.

Tanlang instinctively turned his head, only to see a blinding white light flash before his eyes.

A white peacock tail feather, like a sword, slashed towards Tanlang’s neck.

"Psshhh!"

This white peacock tail feather was extremely sharp. Tanlang’s Tier Two Powerhouse body was as fragile as tofu beneath it.

In the next moment, blood spurted, and a head rolled.

Tanlang’s headless body and head separated by about a dozen meters, visibly changing from human to wolf form.

After transformation, unless deliberately changing back to their true form, only death reveals their original appearance.

With the Wolf Demon dead, its soul vanished into oblivion.

The tail feather the Peacock Great Ming King used was exactly the divine light representing the metal element among the Five-Colored Divine Light.

It appeared as a peacock tail feather but was actually the concentrated essence of Western Metal.

This tail feather, if it pierced Tanlang, could even draw blood from the World Honored.

Seeing the Peacock Great Ming King swiftly and silently kill Tanlang, the ancient beings from the Ten Thousand Mountains looked at each other, a deafening silence surrounding them.

Right at their headquarters, amidst a dozen to twenty Tier Two Peak Powerhouses, the Peacock Great Ming King just killed Tanlang.

After Tanlang’s death, it was the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Cyan Lion Demon, and White Elephant Demon who were the most terrified.

With Tanlang, the main culprit dead, they knew one of them would be next.

The upcoming phase for them was akin to a lottery, selecting the next "lucky" spectator.

Tanlang’s death instilled fear in them; none wanted to die.

Yet, to fight the Peacock Great Ming King bravely, they lacked the courage.

Thus, they all turned their eyes toward Bai Ze.

Among the ancient beings of the Ten Thousand Mountains, only Bai Ze could hold the weight and take action.
