Apex War God

Chapter 61: Human-Corpse Transformation

A long, bloody path stretched toward the mountain like a red carpet. A young man with a little black dog on his shoulder walked forward, dragging a crowbar. No prisoner remained to provoke him.

Too much blood had spilled along that path. Too many were injured, and too many had died. No one dared to underestimate this young man anymore.

The young man looked up at the dozens of prisoners on the mountain, and his gaze fell on the three bosses in the center. He pointed his crowbar at them, obviously raring to fight.

Swift Feet Ai Feili was a middle-aged man with a vaguely youthful and handsome face. Unfortunately, his hair had grayed prematurely, and his legs were no longer as swift as before. One of his legs was already crippled. Even so, this Warrior, who was previously a General, could still hold his head high in the mountain prison.

Zombie Han Wuqing, however, had the face of a dead man. He looked as if everyone owed him large sums of money, gloomy and frightening. His body emanated an aura of death and nauseated anyone who came near.

As for Shi Lengmei, she possessed an alluring figure like that of a succubus. Her curves in all the right places could really awaken the beastly nature of most men. If not for her ugly, disfigured face, she would have been taken as a pet by the prison guards of the mountain prison a long time ago.

The fact that these three could become the top three bosses among all the prisoners was a testament to their extraordinary combat power.

The prisoners who guarded the three bosses saw the young man pointing his crowbar at their bosses from a distance, and they glared at him with intense hostility. The dozens of them were nothing like the good-for-nothings that Yang Wu had just fought. They are all either Medial Grade or Superior Grade Warriors; together, they could kill a Consummate Grade Warrior and take on a General.

Bosses, let us go down and slaughter this arrogant kid. A prisoner volunteered.

Yes, even if he can kill everyone below, he cant kill us. Hes dead meat! another prisoner said.

Dozens of prisoners were about to take action, eager to fight Yang Wu to the end.

Ai Feili waved his hand and said, Even if you took him on, youd only exhaust whats left of his energy, but you would all die. This is not the best way forward.

Whats the use of speaking nonsense? Im going to kill this brat! Zombie Han Wuqing said in a starkly emotionless, unpleasant voice.

Hehe! Im fine with anything! Shi Lengmei said with a smile that was uglier than a crying face.

Yang Wu was already approaching the summit, climbing upward step by step.

Bosses, Yang Wu just wants to ask for a little Scarlet Steel Rock. I come in peace. Please dont be too stingy! Yang Wu greeted Ai Feili, Han Wuqing, and Shi Lengmei.

Along the way, Yang Wu had already killed countless prisoners. Declaring now that he came in peace was truly a joke.

Little friend, how much Scarlet Steel Rock do you want? If it is five or ten tons, I, Ai Feili, am willing to offer it to you myself. Ill take it as an exchange for your friendship! Ai Feili said first.

Five or ten tons is too little! How about adding another zero at the end? Yang Wu said, shaking his head lightly.

He had no other objective for this trip, only Scarlet Steel Rock. He wanted to collect enough for both Skinny Monkey and Barbiefifty tons in totalso that he could leave the mountain prison with them.

Now, that would be a little too much, Ai Feili responded, frowning.

I know its a little much, so lets do this in accordance with the rules of the prison. Whoever has the stronger fist has the final say! Yang Wu said with great enthusiasm for battle.

I guess you only have thirty percent of your strength left at most. Are you not afraid of being slaughtered by us? Ai Feili asked.

Even if I only have thirty percent left, it would be enough to show you that this viscount is the strongest among us! Yang Wu said confidently, clenching his fists.

At this moment, Zombie Han Wuqing could no longer hold back. He shouted, Enough of your nonsense! Defeat me, and all my Scarlet Steel Rock will be yours!

Upon saying that, Han Wuqing rushed down from the summit, the crowbar in his hand dragging on the ground and sending sparks flying everywhere.

Shi Lengmei looked at Ai Feili and asked, Are we not going to take action?

You can take action. My leg is crippled, so I dont really want to bother, Ai Feili replied indifferently.

Then I must see if he can handle both Zombie and me working together. If he can, then Ill happily give him my share of the Scarlet Steel Rock! Shi Lengmei made her way down the mountain.

The other prisoners did not dare to take action, well aware that this fight no longer had anything to do with them now that the two bosses were joining forces.

If the young man could defeat even these two bosses, going against him would only lead to death.

Circulating the Supreme Nine Profound Art and the Dragon Turtle Water Suppression Stance at their limits, Yang Wu watched as Han Wuqing approached relentlessly. His feet and pores steadily absorbed Profound Energy from his surroundings, restoring the energy he had expended in battle.

Yang Wu had thirty percent of his energy left, but that quickly reached forty percent. When Han Wuqing arrived, Yang Wus energy was fifty percent restored. And by the time Han Wuqing attacked, the young mans energy was at fifty-five percent.

Die! Han Wuqing was truly ruthless; the crowbar in his hand was clad with icy Profound Energy as it stabbed toward Yang Wus heart.

Yang Wus strength was great, and he could clearly see the trajectory of the stab. He dodged in a flash, but his clothes still got slashed. Han Wuqings attack was that quick.

A sardonic smile appeared on Han Wuqings cold, dead face, and he hastened his attacks.

If Shi Taisheng was powerful with brute force, then Han Wuqings attacks were deliberate, cunning and difficult to avoid. Both methods had their merits. As for the level of danger, Han Wuqings attacks were definitely more terrifying.

Han Wuqings crowbar moved more like a sword. He kept thrusting wildly and could attack eighteen times in one breath, each with a different position. If Yang Wu had not advanced to the Superior Grade Warrior Realm and remained a Medial Grade Warrior, the crowbar would have stabbed him.

Yang Wu dodged again and again, and when he could no longer retreat, Shi Lengmei, who had rushed down the mountain, attacked without warning. She held a shorter crowbar, only about half an arm long. When she struck, a piercing light shot toward Yang Wus back, and the sneak attack hit its target.

The fact that this ugly girl could assume the position of the third boss meant she was very ruthless, and she did not show the young man any mercy just because he had a pretty face.

Yang Wu was beset, and the situation seemed dire.

Ai Feili and the other prisoners watched closely, wondering whether the young man had a way around the situation.

Yang Wu had not expected Shi Lengmei to attack him. He had thought she would not care to join forces with Han Wuqing; evidently, he had been naive to believe so.

Good timing! Yang Wu exclaimed in surprise, driving his Profound Essence, which had already recovered to seventy percent, to form a cicada shell over his body. Although he managed to dodge Han Wuqings frontal attacks, Shi Lengmeis stab landed on his back. The force cracked his cicada shell, and the remaining energy penetrated deep into his flesh.

Shi Lengmei was overjoyed, expecting she had landed a solid blow and dealt severe damage. However, she didnt have anything to smile about at the next moment.

After her attack, Yang Wus figure charged toward Han Wuqing at a much faster speed, as if plunging into Han Wuqings arms. Yang Wu made a move right then.

Promised Rainbow!

The crowbar in Yang Wus hand turned into a spear, and the spear emitted a light like a rainbow after the rain, colorful and dazzling.

Han Wuqings eyes narrowed at this brilliant, flickering light. For the first time, he went on the defensive, retreating to prevent himself from falling into danger. He had reacted very quickly, but Yang Wus attack was still faster. In the blink of an eye, the crowbar arrived before his head. He immediately turned his head to avoid the attack, but it tore off his ear. Blood instantly splattered his shoulder, and the pain made him choke on the cold air while backing away.

Yang Wu felt disappointed at his failure to kill Han Wuqing in one strike. However, Shi Lengmei had already recovered her wits and attacked again.

Shi Lengmeis short crowbar was a testament to the adage, A long weapon is strong, but a short weapon is dangerous. Every move was sharp and dangerous, pressing Yang Wu from all directions.

Han Wuqing did not stand idly by despite his injury. A dense, vicious, dark-azure-colored aura flashed over his face as he raised his crowbar and resumed his assault, appearing angrier.

Yang Wu no longer held back. He had not given it his all before because he was accumulating energy, but now that he had recovered to seventy percent, it was time to fight for real.

The crowbar in Yang Wus hand shot out left and right like a spear, executing the Rainstorm Spear Art. This Warrior Class spear art had reached Perfectionable to match a General Class technique at Proficiency. The young man blocked Shi Lengmeis and Han Wuqings attacks in one go, weaving a formidable defense.

Yang Wu grew more ferocious as the battle went on. His Supreme Nine Profound Art circulated faster, absorbing energy from his surroundings. The acupoints on his body flashed continually, showing vague signs of two more acupoints opening.

Can you hit harder? This is not enough to entertain me! Yang Wus cicada shell covered his body, which had also been tempered by the Wolf Companion Blood Crystal. His body was now invulnerable. He did not need to fear their attacks at all, now practically invincible.

This was also why he could withstand all those attacks from the prisoners.

I will definitely make your life worse than death! Han Wuqing shouted and threw the crowbar at Yang Wu, startling the young man. To think that Han Wuqing could control the crowbar remotely with his energy! Yang Wu dodged the crowbar and swatted it away, simultaneously leaning back to avoid Shi Lengmeis attack on his throat. He backed up a few steps, opening a distance between them.

Hah!

Han Wuqing let out a strange roar as his face gradually turned green. His front teeth became long and sharp, his arms thickened, and his nails extended. His prison clothes tore into pieces, and a terrifying Corpse Energy emanated from his body.

Shi Lengmei wrinkled her nose and retreated farther away, not daring to join hands with Han Wuqing any longer, as if disgusted by him.

Thisthis is a human-beast transformation? Nothis is a human-corpse transformation! Yang Wu exclaimed.

Han Wuqings body turned into that of a gorilla, like Black Ape, but if one looked closely, it looked more like he had turned into a zombie.

It was not unreasonable that Han Wuqing was known as the Zombie. He cultivated the Zombie Art, an evil technique of swallowing Death Energy and Corpse Energy. At the Accomplished stage, he could turn into a zombie with much stronger combat power.

Han Wuqing glared at Yang Wu and roared in a low voice, Im going to eat you!

At the next moment, he stepped forward and pounced on Yang Wu.

Note that Xiao Man has been renamed to Barbie. I have gone back and changed all the previous chapters already. So if you have been reading Barbie, just ignore this note. However, if you have been seeing Xiaoman and see Barbie now, this is why. Xiao Man can be literally translated to Little Barbarian. That's why we named her Barbie.
