Apex War God

Yang Wu crushed both shoulders of the prisoner on the spot. Several others broke out in a cold sweat at the sound of breaking bones and the prisoner’s screams.

Yang Wu threw the prisoner to the ground like a dead dog and said coldly to the other retreating prisoners from cellblock 1, “Are you not going to break your arms? What are you waiting for?”

They hesitated for a bit; then, one of them raised the crowbar in his hand and hit his own arm.

“Argh!”

After that prisoner broke his own arm, no one else dared to disobey Yang Wu; the others also broke their own arms one after the other. To them, that was better than the young man taking action; they would suffer less this way.

“Scram!” Yang Wu dismissed them.

They scurried off, almost rolling and crawling away from that place.

The prisoners in cellblock 2 looked at Yang Wu with reverence. In the future, no one would dare to superficially obey but secretly oppose him.

Yang Wu looked at the injured Xu Jiaohua and said, “Well done. No one will trouble you from now on.”

“Thank you for saving me, Young Master!” Xu Jiaohua said gratefully.

Yang Wu responded, “From now on, just serve Senior Xun with care.”

After saying that, he made a beeline for cellblock 1.

Fatty Dong was very clever and immediately followed him, asking, “Is Young Master going to block 1?”

Yang Wu nodded, and Fatty Dong expressed his sincere loyalty. “I’m willing to go with Young Master.”

Looking at Fatty Dong, Yang Wu teased, “I’m going to challenge all of them; do you have the guts to be a part of this?”

Fatty Dong shrank his neck and smiled embarrassedly. “Then…then I won’t hold Young Master back.”

Yang Wu did not get angry but laughed, “Haha, Fatty Dong, what a nice man you are! You are sincere!”

The young man raised his head and walked away. He looked heroic and elegant without the slightest awareness of a sheep entering a den of wolves.

After all, the most powerful prisoners were assigned to cellblock 1. Although no one there had entered the General Realm, many were in the Warrior Realm. Together, they could trample even a General to death.

Some time ago, a Wolf General broke into block 1 and was killed by the prisoners there, which went to show how ferocious these prisoners were.

Last night, Yang Wu broke into the Superior Grade Warrior Realm, and his body had been tempered by the Wolf Companion Blood Crystal. He could ignore everyone below the General Realm now. His ultimate goal for this trip was not only to become the master of all the prisoners but also to hone his skills. He became increasingly aware of his combative nature and knew that only battle could accelerate his growth.

Furthermore, he had to become a warlord of death within a year. This was as difficult as reaching the sky, but he had no choice. He had to go through the killing fields to fight and undergo rebirth.

Yang Wu made his way toward cellblock 1, crossing mountains and rocks, traversing weeds and wildflowers. He was not the least bit nervous. Instead, the thousands of pores of the peach-pit dantian in his body were surging with Profound Essence circulating in waves, bringing him to a perfect state.

On his back was an iron crowbar left behind by Black Ape. It weighed half a ton—many times heavier than an ordinary crowbar—and would be regarded as an unorthodox weapon.

Yang Wu came to the intersection between blocks 2 and 1. Prison guards patrolled there. Catching sight of him, a prison guard walked over to stop him, but another guard shook his head lightly, preempting the former.

Naturally, Yang Wu noticed this detail, so he crossed the intersection without worries and entered block 1.

There were boundaries between each cellblock, so news naturally did not travel well between blocks. Few cared about the sudden appearance of Yang Wu. They only saw him as a fair-skinned and tender newcomer, who must have stepped on some influential people’s toes since he was assigned to block 1.

A prisoner walked up to Yang Wu and snarled, “New boy, get over here and report your name.”

Yang Wu responded with a bright smile, “My name is Yang Wu!”

“Sheep dance? Your family is named after livestock. How interesting! Hurry, bleat like a goat for me. If you do a good job, I’ll go easy on you. If you fail, then you have to crawl under my crotch like a dog!” the prisoner said arrogantly.

[TL Note: “Sheep dance” is also “yang wu” in Chinese, a homophone for Yang Wu’s name.]

“Duck Head, take it easy. This child looks so delicate, you might just make him cry. Let me give him some comfort,” another prisoner said, winking at Yang Wu.

“You old codger, everyone knows you like your meat fresh and tender. Just let me discipline him a little bit, then you can have your way with him!” The former prisoner then turned to Yang Wu and said, “Hurry, bleat like a goat! This old man’s patience is limited. Otherwise, I will throw you over to that old codger so he can bust your flower open.”

In that boring place, the prisoners did not seem to have any other entertainment aside from disciplining newcomers.

Yang Wu caressed Sooty, which was on his shoulder, and smiled indifferently. “Sooty, would you simply endure if someone insulted you?”

Woof! Woof! Sooty responded twice, bared its fangs, and jumped off Yang Wu’s shoulder, pouncing at the man who insulted Yang Wu.

The prisoner only saw a flash before his eyes and felt pain on his face before screaming in agony. Blood trickled down his face.

Sooty had scratched his face with its claws and bitten him on the neck, drawing blood.

The prisoner wanted to catch the puppy. However, although Sooty’s teeth were small, they were extremely sharp, and they bit through the prisoner’s neck. Blood fountained with no way to stop it. Thus, the man dropped dead.

This was the first time Yang Wu saw Sooty act with such ferocity, going straight for the kill. He thought to himself, It seems Sooty changed after swallowing the Wolf Companion Blood Crystal.

The prisoner who had just been talking to the dead man called to the others, “What a fellow! To think you commanded your dog to bite someone to death?! Everyone, attack together and teach this brat a lesson!”

He was the first to swing a crowbar at Sooty, sensing that this little black dog might be more terrifying than a human being.

Unfortunately, his crowbar did not hit the puppy. Sooty had already leaped towards his neck and was biting away.

The prisoner failed to dodge Sooty’s quick and ferocious bite. The blood vessels in his neck ruptured, and he bled to death.

The other prisoners were horrified to see this but did not stop advancing. They attacked Sooty with the crowbars in their hands, and some even went to pick a fight with Yang Wu directly, believing that as long as they killed the kid before them, the little black dog might lose its will to fight.

“New brat, how dare you cause trouble in block 1! Kneel!” a prisoner yelled, smashing his crowbar toward Yang Wu’s head.

This blow was extraordinarily powerful, with at least fifteen stones of strength. This was the strength of the weapon of a Consummate Grade Warrior.

Before this powerful blow reached Yang Wu, the young man easily caught the crowbar with one hand. With a gentle pull, the prisoner went flying like dog shit.

“I’m here for the bosses of your alliance. Please inform them, and you lackeys should quit sending yourselves to your deaths!” Yang Wu said calmly, looking at the prisoners surrounding him.

The prisoners present had some strength, but they were just riffraff to him.

Some prisoners did not buy it and united against Yang Wu. Wielding crowbars, they attacked with vigorous shouts, aiming at Yang Wu’s different vital organs.

“How stubborn!” After this remark, Yang Wu finally made a move.

His palms shot out like the wind, so fast that his figure was barely visible. Before the attacks of the prisoners landed on him, the prisoners were already beaten and scattered all over the place.

Yang Wu pulled out the crowbar slung on his back and said again, “Whoever stands in my way will die!”

In the pose of a dragon turtle, Yang Wu seemed to walk on air, speeding up gradually; his chains could not restrain him. The prisoners around him only saw a flash before their eyes. When they looked again, the young man was already thirty meters away.

A prisoner exclaimed, “I know who he is! He is Yang Wu, the new boss of block 2. He killed Guo Jingshi and crippled several other fighters.”

“What nerve! How dare he barge into block 1 alone?! Let’s get him!”

“He looks powerful. We should report to the four alliance bosses.”

------

Some prisoners quickly intercepted Yang Wu, but no sooner had they approached than Yang Wu’s crowbar swept them up and blasted them away. No one could evade the might of his crowbar.

Yang Wu showed no mercy, striking flesh with every blow and making the prisoners howl in pain. Plenty of blood splattered the ground, a shocking sight.

Sooty weaved between people, biting wherever it could. Buttocks got bitten, some arms bled, and some necks were bitten through…no one was spared, and no one could hurt Sooty.

Yang Wu headed due east. Within fifteen minutes, dozens of people sprawled on the ground in his wake, frightening the prisoners so much that they did not dare to block him any longer. A stronger person would have to deal with him.

A barbarian prisoner stormed out and shouted, “Who dares to throw his weight around here? Our brothers will tear you up alive!”

This time, there were four barbarians, all tall and mighty, possessing shocking Barbarian Energy. They each carried a half-ton boulder, which they hurled at Yang Wu in unison.

These barbarians were all Warriors, and they hurled the rocks with such astonishing force that even a Superior Grade Warrior could be stoned to death.

Four huge boulders fell from the sky like meteors, rushing toward Yang Wu. The young man planted his feet on the ground, taking no evasive action, and swung the crowbar in his hands skyward.

Profound Energy shot out of his crowbar like a heavy rainstorm, blasting the four boulders to pieces. The debris flew in every direction, pelting prisoners, and many fled in a panic.

When the boulders cracked, the four barbarians had already surrounded Yang Wu. They swung their fists at him in unison, moving with such harmony that their minds seemed connected.

Profound Energy shot out from the four fists, extending as far as three meters. The Barbarian Energy contained in the blows was brutal. If hit, even a Consummate Grade Warrior would die.

“I’ll use your fists to try out my newly tempered body!” Unexpectedly, Yang Wu stood steadfast, welcoming the punches. He did not even bring out his cicada armor, allowing the four fists to land on his body.

Boom!

The four punches fell on his body simultaneously, and brutal Profound Energy rippled back and forth within him, trying to destroy his meridians and internal organs.

The four barbarians thought Yang Wu was over, and one of them said, “That’s all you’ve got?”

To their surprise, the young man retorted immediately, “That’s all there is to Barbarian Energy?”

The four barbarians were shocked and wanted to retreat. Unfortunately, they were already too late; the crowbar had already flashed before them.

Bang! Bang!
