Apex War God - Chapter 50

Being unjustly imprisoned was supposed to be a dead end for the young Yang Wu, ultimately leading to a miserable death. However, the situations coming one after the other in the prison gave him room to breathe, recuperate, and become stronger. When the opportunity came, he would definitely get out of this place and cast off his prisoner label.

Yang Wu did not want to divert so much of his attention to the wolf spirits invading cellblock 7, but he could not bear to watch so many prisoners get bitten to death gruesomely. Plus, he wanted to use this opportunity to consolidate his current strength, hence the scene Wan Lanxin witnessed.

Wan Lanxin was not shocked by Yang Wu’s strength, just happy to know he was doing well.

After slaying the wolf spirit, Yang Wu felt a gaze on him. He turned around to look in Wan Lanxin’s direction. Seeing the beauty riding on the leopard made his mind wander.

Among his childhood friends, his favorite was Little Snot-Nosed Bug, who always followed him around. Another of his favorites was this big sister, whom he listened to the most. She had the air of a gang leader—straightforward, enthusiastic, candid, and generous. More importantly, he liked looking at her perfectly matured body, which had a fatal attraction to him as a young kid.

Wan Lanxin was too busy to chat with Yang Wu, as wolf spirits still lingered in the area, causing more casualties. “Massacre the wolf spirits!” she commanded, raising her spear.

Wan Lanxin spurred her leopard into action, charging toward the nearest wolf spirit and leading her men into battle.

Yang Wu did not want Wan Lanxin to get hurt. Although she was a General, the wolf spirits’ numbers were increasing, so he needed to relieve some of her pressure. He turned to the surrounding fleeing prisoners and shouted, “Whoever helps with killing the wolf spirits will have free food for three days straight on me!”

Yang Wu had taken over Black Ape’s stockpile of Scarlet Steel Rock, which could be exchanged for food. This bounty was a huge incentive for any prisoner.

Most of the prisoners in cellblock 7 were only in the Foot Soldier Realm, but finding Scarlet Steel Rock in this area was no easy task. Their lack of basic provisions was not a problem that martial strength alone could solve.

Xu Jiaohua had barely acquired her position as a puppet leader and certainly did not want to lose it so soon. Naturally, she reinforced his message. “Everyone, if you follow what the young master said, we can eat grilled wolf meat tonight.”

At the mention of grilled wolf meat, the prisoners’ eyes gleamed with hunger. They stopped in their tracks and turned around to fight the wolf spirits with their crowbars.

“If we kill them all, we will get to eat meat tonight.”

“That’s right. There are so many of us; why are we afraid? Kill them!”

In the blink of an eye, the prisoners separated into a few groups and charged toward the wolf spirits. After all, they had already accepted death as their fate; what was there to be afraid of?

The prisoners significantly reduced the load on Wan Lanxin and her men.

Yang Wu did not slack off, either, charging into battle in Wan Lanxin’s direction. Even if her cultivation was higher than his, he was a man, and a man naturally had to protect women, right?

More and more wolf spirits joined the fight, and a powerful Medial Grade Wolf General appeared. It bit numerous prisoners to death, one after another, even tearing two guards apart alive.

After killing two wolf spirits, Wan Lanxin approached the Wolf General.

It lashed an azure light from its mouth toward Wan Lanxin like a sharp blade slicing through the air. The azure light was overbearing, extending ten meters.

Wan Lanxin’s spear flashed with blue light as she wielded it elegantly to parry with three rapid strikes, forcefully breaking the azure light blade.

Wan Lanxin was only an Inferior Grade General, so being able to fend off the Wolf General’s attack was already quite a feat.

Wan Lanxin’s arms trembled. The gap between our grades is truly hard to close. It looks like this will be a desperate struggle!

She gritted her teeth and leaped off the leopard’s back to plunge from above, executing a Mountain Crushing the Head on the approaching Wolf General.

Wielding her spear, Wan Lanxin charged toward the Wolf General relentlessly. Her leopard did not ease up, either, waiting for the right time to pounce. Given a chance, it would lunge at the Wolf General and pin it down.

On the other hand, Yang Wu was quickly approaching Wan Lanxin. None of the wolf spirits advancing toward him could take more than a single blow, either dying or sustaining severe injuries after a palm strike.

At that moment, he was brimming with unimaginable strength, feeling as if no one below the General Realm could harm him significantly.

Before the wolf spirit behind him could bite his bum, he had already noticed the attack as if he had eyes growing on the back of his head. He executed the Spiraling Waves Rending Palm Strike, unleashing a spiraling force. The Profound Essence drilled into the wolf spirit’s maw, shattering its teeth and causing its mouth to bleed ferociously.

Oowoowoo!

The wolf spirit crashed to the ground, its body spasming as it howled in pain, clearly rendered hors de combat. This was enough to display the sheer might of Yang Wu’s palm strike.

Damned chains! Without them, I would be way faster! Yang Wu cursed silently, speeding up his assault. He drew close to Wan Lanxin with much difficulty, only to see that her shoulder had been clawed while her spear had fallen to the ground. The situation was dire. Yang Wu’s heart exploded with rage. Like a lion pouncing on prey, he lunged forward even faster than the leopard, using all his power to catch the Wolf General in a death grip. Exerting his maximum strength through his palms, he roared with rage, “You deserve to die for hurting Big Sister Lanxin like this!”

Inside Yang Wu’s peach-pit dantian, mist gushed out from its thousand holes. His twelve major meridians, one minor meridian, and eighty-one acupoints exploded with energy. Nascent Profound Essence converged on his palms, locking the Wolf General in position. Their limbs entangled, the two tumbled to one side.

Yang Wu’s arm dug into the Wolf General’s body; he wanted to strangle it to a gruesome death.

Nonetheless, the Wolf General was powerful; after all, it was a Medial Grade Wolf General. Spirit Energy surged from its body to break free from Yang Wu. Its forelimbs flailed in the air as it tried to grip the ground to stabilize itself and eat Yang Wu alive. Unfortunately, Yang Wu released it a step before, letting the Wolf General hit a pointed, awl-like rock.

Crash!

The Wolf General rammed into the protruding rock. The awl-like rock shattered, yet the Wolf General did not suffer much injury. It scrambled up from the ground, lunging angrily at Yang Wu to eat the damned human alive with its bleeding maw.

“Little Brother Wu, get away!” Wan Lanxin shouted in fear as she watched Yang Wu get to his feet. She had retrieved her weapon—too late to help him.

As if Yang Wu did not hear her, he firmly planted his feet on the ground, Profound Energy flowing around his body to form a solid cicada armor as his energy peaked. A silhouette seemed to hover over him, eyes set on the rapidly approaching Wolf General. He took up a stance with one hand resembling a dragon’s fist and the other resembling a turtle’s flipper. He attacked with a combination of the fist and palm at full power. The light-blue energy projected almost seven meters, clashing with the Wolf General.

Dragon Turtle Sea Flipping Art!

This was Yang Wu’s strongest attack, his final trump card. The power it contained already exceeded that of a Consummate Grade Warrior, reaching the General Realm.

The overbearing force containing Nascent Profound Essence sent the Wolf General flying back, blood spurting from fresh wounds on its body.

Yang Wu failed to kill the Wolf General in one shot. When he wanted to attack again, the Wolf General’s azure energy lashed out at him, breaking his cicada armor. Blood spurted.

Wan Lanxin did not have time to worry about Yang Wu. She attacked at full strength, her weapon piercing the wounded Wolf General, opening a bloody hole in its side. The Wolf General growled in pain as her leopard bit it from the other side, the woman and her mount double-teaming the Wolf General.

The Wolf General had a strong vitality, continuing to fight back, knocking Wan Lanxin away and biting several pieces of flesh off the leopard. At this rate, it would swallow alive both Wan Lanxin and her leopard.

On the other hand, Yang Wu immediately stood up again like a persistent cockroach; his wounds healed quickly. He continuously drew water-attributed Profound Energy from the ground and Profound Energy from the surroundings. He had no time to accumulate energy as he charged forward to execute the Dragon Turtle Sea Flipping Art again, but it was even stronger than before, now vaguely showing the proper form of the Dragon Turtle Sea Flipping Art.

Yang Wu moved so swiftly that water would not ripple if he stepped on it. His arms flailed like a dragon turtle swimming; two light-blue energies intertwined and locked on to the Wolf General, lashing out with nothing held back.

The Wolf General instinctively sensed the threat. It could no longer spare any attention for the leopard it was planning to devour. It shot energy from its mouth to counter Yang Wu’s attack, the clash creating concussive sound waves.

“I’ll kill you!” Yang Wu roared, malice lacing his voice. His arms moved nonstop as he continuously drew Profound Essence from his peach-pit dantian to power his relentless attacks. Wave after wave of attacks shot out. It was astounding how there seemed to be no limit to his energy.

Yang Wu’s peach-pit dantian was different from the dantian of a normal cultivator. The amount of energy it could store far surpassed that of others of the same cultivation, possibly even more than a General’s. Apart from that, the Supreme Nine Profound Art and the Dragon Turtle Water Suppression Stance allowed him to harness the Profound Energy in the surroundings while he fought, enough to sustain him in a drawn-out fight.

Yang Wu planned to keep attacking until he killed the Wolf General. If one strike was not enough, then he would make another, and another, and another…until he exhausted himself.

Similarly, the Wolf General was set on killing Yang Wu. However, despite its greater strength, its power was in decline as its injuries accumulated; it could not sustain its strength as the fight dragged on as Yang Wu could. The azure energy it released weakened. Eventually, it could only use its body to receive his attacks. Its head rammed Yang Wu’s abdomen as Yang Wu’s fist slammed on its eyes.

Yang Wu’s internal organs ruptured, while the Wolf General’s head shattered.

Covered in blood, he slumped to the ground, utterly drained. Although another wolf spirit was about to pounce on him, he could not even dodge and could only close his eyes and accept his fate.

At that moment, a spear pierced through the wolf spirit’s neck, pinning it to a rock and killing it!

A refreshing fragrance wafted to Yang Wu’s nose, and he found himself in a soft and warm embrace.
