Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 506 - 500: Hero Saves the Beauty

Jian Bing slaughtered and hacked her way through, not knowing how long she had been doing so.

Her eyes were neither dry nor sore.

However, everything in her vision was painted crimson red.

She had no idea how many Gourmands she had killed.

All in all, a long "path" was left behind Jian Bing.

All around this path, the ground was covered densely with Gourmand corpses.

Actually, at this moment, Jian Bing was already exhausted.

The reason she could persist until now was thanks to her overpowering willpower, pushing her mechanically to swing the White Tiger Battle Saber.

And during this period, the Gourmands charging at her were not that powerful, otherwise, Jian Bing would’ve already been exposed.

If another Gourmand with the strength akin to the rhino Gourmand from before were to attack Jian Bing, she would undoubtedly perish.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

At this moment, another powerful Gourmand set its sights on Jian Bing.

"Oh!"

"What a strong human, her flesh must be exceptionally delicious," a charming and soft voice rang out.

Revealing itself was a Gourmand with a human face, yet a scorpion tail extending from its back.

This was the most human-like Gourmand Jian Bing had seen so far.

It was this Gourmand’s appearance that brought Jian Bing back to a semblance of her senses.

Though resembling a human, it still bore the trademark fangs, sharp teeth, and crimson eyes of a Gourmand.

Jian Bing was already exhausted, and even if she forced herself to rally, she could only unleash around thirty percent of her power.

Jian Bing knew well that to defeat this scorpion Gourmand, she must strike first.

In an instant, Jian Bing moved.

The White Tiger Battle Saber erupted with piercing Sharp Gold Power, a flash of white gleaming across the blade.

"Tzing!"

In the next moment, a crescent-shaped, several-meter-long sharp energy sliced toward the scorpion Gourmand.

As the White Tiger Battle Saber’s power swept forth, before the scorpion Gourmand, a shadowy layer of scorpion armor energy appeared and vanished.

"Boom!"

The collision of the White Tiger Battle Saber and the scorpion armor left both sides evenly matched.

However, it must be noted, this strike was Jian Bing’s full-force attack, and an active assault.

The scorpion Gourmand, on the other hand, was defending, passively.

If she couldn’t break through the defending layer despite striking first with a powered-up attack, then she had even less chance in direct confrontation.

With that move completed, both sides’ victory and defeat had been determined.

Jian Bing’s defeat seemed inevitable.

"You’ve lost, ready to face death?"

"Before you die, I will inject my poison into your body, paralyzing you and gradually robbing you of sensation, but your consciousness will remain clear throughout."

"Then, I will use my tail to slowly slice you into pieces, and chew you bit by bit."

"The venom will be my finest cure and dipping sauce." said the scorpion Gourmand, striding towards Jian Bing, asking softly, "Are you ready for me to consume you?"

The scorpion Gourmand, clearly a charming, delicate woman, nonetheless exuded an eerie impression.

But who was Jian Bing? An apprentice of the principal, a representation of Emperor Dragon City.

Facing death, she certainly would not surrender without a fight.

As the scorpion Gourmand smugly approached her, Jian Bing suddenly erupted and swung her blade at its chest again.

"Die for me!" Jian Bing shouted fiercely, swinging her blade.

This strike was evidently a surprise to the scorpion Gourmand; it didn’t expect Jian Bing, in such a state, still had the strength to swing at it.

"Clang!"

Unexpectedly, the strike landed on the scorpion Gourmand’s body, leaving a twenty-centimeter gash on its waist.

This was when Jian Bing also witnessed the scorpion Gourmand’s methods.

A swarm of small scorpions arrived swiftly, surprising Jian Bing.

Then, she saw these small scorpions climb onto the Gourmand’s injured waist, using their tails to hook one edge of the flesh and their mouths to bite the other, effectively stitching the wound together.

Jian Bing: "?????"

Watching this scene left Jian Bing dumbfounded; living for so long, it was her first time seeing such a peculiar mode of healing.

Clearly, if Gourmands could control themselves, they could be accepted and utilized.

However, having struck the scorpion Gourmand while exhausted, it became thoroughly enraged.

"Courting death!" shouted the scorpion Gourmand, swinging its tail towards Jian Bing.

Seeing the tail, Jian Bing’s heart trembled, though at this moment, she had run out of strength and was unable to resist.

At the last moment, she could only raise her blade to block.

Yet, Jian Bing knew well she likely could not stop this attack.

She was determined to die!

The thought filled Jian Bing’s mind, and then, she heard herself call out to the skies: "Lin Yuan, if there’s a next life, I’ll still be your woman."

"In lives to come, it’ll be the same."

In the distance, Lin Yuan, having reached the coordinates given by the principal, was searching for Jian Bing, and just happened to hear Jian Bing’s cry.

After shouting, Jian Bing had actually closed her eyes, bracing for death.

However, even after a while with her eyes closed, Jian Bing didn’t feel the scorpion tail pierce into her body or venom injected.

She opened her eyes to see a man standing before her, and this man filled Jian Bing with unparalleled security.

This man was indeed Lin Yuan.

At the moment, the scorpion tail was a mere five or six centimeters from Jian Bing’s forehead.

Yet, those five or six centimeters, intimate as they were, seemed a world apart.

Because, the scorpion tail was tightly grasped in Lin Yuan’s hand, unable to budge an inch.

Jian Bing exclaimed happily, "Lin Yuan, you’re here."

"Want to be my woman in the next life?"

"No need to wait, this life is enough!" Lin Yuan teased.

Hearing this, Jian Bing’s face instantly turned red, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Perhaps having faced life and death, Jian Bing was exceptionally brave, her face flushed, head held high, speaking with unwavering determination: "Yes, I want to be your woman, lifetime after lifetime, always your woman."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan’s heart warmed, he spoke softly, "First, I’ll take care of this monster harassing you, then take you away from here."

As he finished speaking, the hand holding the scorpion tail suddenly exerted strength, unleashing a power that eradicated everything.

Then, the scorpion Gourmand visibly disintegrated into void, leaving not a trace behind.
