Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 275: Slashing his past fears
In the past, Ye Zhongming didn’t even have the right to rub this person’s shoes.
He was Demon Gold, one of Soul Merchants’ nine Lords. He was a terrifying nine-star evolved that represented blood.
This was one of the most outstanding people in the apocalypse.
Bei Zi, Demon Gold, Absolute Dragon… Also Emotionless, Dusheng…
These names were people that Ye Zhongming had to look up to.
They were still the strongest even if their reputations weren’t good and their names were covered in blood. They were still people who stood at the forefront and looked down at Ye Zhongming like he was an ant.
Ye Zhongming feared them in his last life and would avoid people from Soul Merchants. That was because he knew the gap between them.
Not to mention the famous lords, even their servants and guards, were people Ye Zhongming could only look up to.
But this didn’t stop Ye Zhongming from hating this bunch of people.
Every survivor would think that way.
After saving Xia Bai and learning about Bei Zi from her, Ye Zhongming started to care about Soul Merchants. Young Master Yun was a part of his plan. He knew that he would be enemies with this bunch. He wouldn’t let these people continue what they were doing in the last life.
He saw Demon Gold today.
But he had nothing to fear in this life, so he attacked.
This blade shattered all possibility of the factions cooperating with Soul Merchants.
It was like that, at least today.
Blade light scattered.
Ye Zhongming waved his strongest attack since he got the Light Seal Blademaster.
Many people opened their eyes wide. They didn’t understand why this guy making huge trades would immediately attack.
Shouldn’t they talk first and then fight if they disagree? Since Demon Gold came here, it meant that he was confident. Was it good to fight right away?
Demon Gold was first stunned, and then he laughed. The Wolf Soul beside him pounced towards the blade light.
“A pig wants to bite?”
His roar reverberated in the room and caused one’s ears to feel numb.
The wolf soul and the blade light clashed. Many of the souls cried out in pain. That eye-piercing light dimmed and then disappeared.
A figure behind Demon Gold stood out. He was swift. The remnant bit of blade sliced his body, breaking open his armor and skin and leaving a minor wound.
“Lord, leave this fellow to me.”
Demon Gold’s eyes flashed, and he nodded, “Kill him; if not, these pigs won’t surrender.”
Killing the rest was to capture these survivors alive. Then he had to kill some to warn the others. This person who stepped up would be the best choice.
The guy in front of Demon Gold was young, he was around 20. But the scar on his face looked terrifying. He wore a black uniform and held an axe. Compared to his lord, he looked unassuming.
But Ye Zhongming recognized him.
Liao Chong!
One of Demon Gold’s six attendants.
In the last life, he took charge of the tunnels in Ying City.
He was someone that his battle squad leader had to respect.
Eight-star evolved.
Ye Zhongming returned after his first slash failed. He knew that he had met a formidable opponent. Although these Soul Merchant leaders didn’t reach the terrifying stage they were at in his last life, they were still the strongest now.
Demon Gold was a Spirit Feeder. The name didn’t sound strong, but this job was overpowered. He could kill some mutated animals to get their souls and use them to attack targets. Moreover, those souls will have stats. For example, fear, corrode, slow, etc. The terrifying thing was that these souls would absorb the life force of those they killed. When he absorbed the souls back into his body, the energy would be transferred, and they would get stronger.
Although only a tiny amount of energy could get converted, in the long run, one could imagine how many benefits the job user would get.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what job he was in his last life, but at least in this, he had the Spirit Feeder job.
As for Liao Chong, Ye Zhongming knew he was a Weapon Specialist.
A job that allowed him to use all sorts of weapons to a high level.
He was using an axe now, so the first job skill was probably related to axes.
Of course, as Ye Zhongming was living his second life, the butterfly effect might change Liao Chong’s job.
“You have to fight together with me.”
Ye Zhongming held his blade and stood before the Ying City elites.
Apart from a portion who heard his words, some didn’t care.
Demon Gold did have bad intentions but was there a need to risk their lives and fight to the death? This fellow looked very strong, so who would lead the way? People would die if they fought, so who will die?
“They are from Soul Merchant.” Ye Zhongming unbuckled his bag and placed a hand in, “Do you know how they evolve? They call you all pigs; what are pigs? If we get captured today, we are the pigs!”
Demon Gold’s expression changed. This was the first time he lowered his head slightly to use his dark eyes to look at Ye Zhongming.
“They will use us to feed the zombies that they control so that the zombies evolve. Then they will explode the micro bombs in the heads and kill the zombie to get crystals and then evolve!”
After saying everything, Ye Zhongming felt like something in his heart had dropped.
Those words bothered him since he heard of Soul Merchants in his last life. Many factions were enemies with Soul Merchants, and they fought many times. Ye Zhongming even participated in one. But he was a small soldier, and he could only fight. He didn’t have to face their terrifying high-level battle force, and he didn’t need to face those scary people.
But in this life, he was at the forefront, and such things will be in front of him.
For example, Soul Merchant. What should he do? If he wanted to solve the mysteries of the apocalypse and lead humans to victory, he had to wipe out this faction. This was a nightmare in his last life. He wanted to delay the direct conflict against Soul Merchants at first.
Find Young Master Yun to monitor and find Brother Bao to trade; all of this shows how terrified Ye Zhongming was of Soul Merchant.
But now, when he slashed the famous Demon Gold with Moon Edge, that blade shattered all the fear and turned into his courage.
Soul Merchants were strong, powerful; they were strong that they could drown Ye Zhongming and his Cloud Peak with the number of three-star evolved they had.
But so what? So what?
Could that change the fact that they were corrupted? Could that change the fact that they used humans as zombie food to obtain demon crystals?
They were two-star, three-star; how many humans died for those potions?!
Humans could die when fighting zombies and monsters, and they can die fighting other humans. However, they shouldn’t die like this!
This was disgusting, really disgusting!
Ye Zhongming’s hand was covered in human blood. But Soul Merchants’ soul was covered in blood.
That was why Ye Zhongming would slash without hesitation. He was waving toward one of Soul Merchants’ Lords, Demon Gold. He was waving toward his nightmares from his last life.
He was slashing his fear!
