"And you are?"
Tang Yi stopped in his tracks, looking doubtfully at the group of black-robed men blocking the middle of the road. ’Don’t tell me I’ve run into robbers?’ he thought.
What kind of blind fool would dare to rob him?
Before Tang Yi could even use his Celestial Eye Technique to check their levels, a masked man with a scar over his eye stepped out from the group.
"Tang Yi, remember me?" The man pulled down his mask, revealing his face as he spoke to Tang Yi with a smile.
And this black-robed man with the scar over his eye was none other than Li Kuang.
"It’s you! Li Kuang! How do you know my name?" Tang Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw the man’s face, then recognition dawned. He glanced at Li Kuang and all the black-robed men behind him, asking dubiously, "Were you all waiting for me here?"
When Tang Yi had killed Zhangg Yuxi and the others from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, he had never given his name. But now, Li Kuang actually knew who he was and was waiting for him on a major road to Fengyue City. It was obvious the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had investigated his background and learned that he was out training.
"That’s right."
Li Kuang nodded, a broad smile on his face as he watched Tang Yi. His gaze was like that of a predator eyeing its prey, as if Tang Yi were a fish in a barrel.
"Oh."
Tang Yi responded with a simple "oh," showing no significant reaction.
In just a few words, he understood the situation.
Li Kuang had investigated his background and brought men for revenge.
When Tang Yi realized there had been a fish that slipped through the net, he had anticipated this outcome. He just hadn’t expected the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps to be so capable as to track him down this quickly.
But Tang Yi wasn’t too afraid. After all, he had the Battle God System, and his leveling speed was astronomical. ’I’ll deal with whatever comes my way,’ he thought. So what if the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had great Influence? As long as he was strong enough, he wouldn’t fear any number of them!
He cast out his Celestial Eye Technique and began inspecting the information of every black-robed man.
In that moment, he got a clear picture of the group’s strength.
Unexpectedly, all these black-robed men were at the Battle Spirit Level, and one of them, a man named Feng Hua, was even a Battle King Powerhouse!
This was a powerful force. Tang Yi hadn’t expected the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps to dispatch so many elites for a nobody like him. It was quite surprising. ’The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps sure thinks highly of me!’ he mused.
If this had been ten-odd days ago, Tang Yi would have had no choice but to turn and run from such a force, without even thinking of resisting. But now...
After more than ten days of leveling up and raising his Martial Technique Skill Levels, his strength was on a completely different level. It had increased by an unknown number of times!
In particular, the Skill Level of several of his Martial Techniques had reached one hundred percent. Even Tang Yi himself was frightened by their power!
Tang Yi could easily kill a Level 5 Demon Beast, so he felt he could just as easily crush ordinary Battle Spirits, and maybe even a Battle King.
Therefore, even knowing that this group was full of powerhouses at the Battle Spirit Level and above, Tang Yi showed no trace of fear.
"Oh?" Tang Yi’s reaction made Li Kuang falter for a second. Puzzled, he said, "Tang Yi, now that you know we were waiting specifically for you, aren’t you afraid? Do you really think you can escape from our grasp this time?"
"Afraid of what? Of a Battle Grandmaster like you? I don’t need to escape," Tang Yi sneered.
"Hmph!" Li Kuang snorted, clearly displeased by Tang Yi’s mockery of his strength. However, he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he said, "Did you think we only sent a Battle Grandmaster Level Martial Artist like me for this revenge? You’re underestimating our Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. I told you before, nothing good comes from making an enemy of us!"
"I don’t mind telling you the truth now. I’m just here to identify you. The ones who are really going to deal with you are the men behind me. They are all at the Battle Spirit Level. Our Group Leader Feng is even a Battle King! Today, Tang Yi, no matter how strong you are or how great your Talent is, you won’t escape our grasp!"
After saying this, Li Kuang couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he imagined Tang Yi’s fate. His expression was one of pure smugness.
Seeing Li Kuang mention him, Feng Hua stepped forward and said, "Tang Yi, it’s not too late to surrender. If you come back with me obediently, we might just let you live."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Tang Yi once again responded with a simple "oh," his reaction just as calm as before.
This time, not only was Li Kuang stunned, but even Feng Hua, the Battle King, frowned. He couldn’t understand why Tang Yi’s reaction was so cold.
’Has he been scared stiff?’ Feng Hua couldn’t help but wonder.
At this moment, Feng Hua scanned Tang Yi carefully. His perception was excellent, and he immediately saw through to Tang Yi’s strength. He exclaimed in surprise, "You’re a Battle Spirit?"
A Martial Artist at the Battle Spirit Level was nothing special, but Tang Yi’s age...
Sixteen years old?
A teenager who was a Battle Spirit—that was what astonished Feng Hua.
With such Talent, he would be considered a peerless genius anywhere. As long as he was allowed to mature, he would undoubtedly become a famous powerhouse in the future.
But...
"What a pity."
Feng Hua shook his head slightly.
It was a pity that Tang Yi had made an enemy of their Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, so he was destined to die young.
"Tang Yi, it’s useless even if you’re a Battle Spirit. Everyone here is a Battle Spirit Level Martial Artist, and I am at the Battle King Level. Come back with me obediently and spare yourself the physical suffering," Feng Hua said.
"So you could see that I’m a Battle Spirit? Not bad. You have a decent eye. But..." Tang Yi’s gaze suddenly sharpened. He said in a low voice, "Just you lot? You think you can make me suffer? You’re thinking too highly of yourselves. If you’re going to make a move, then do it. Stop dawdling."
"You!" Feng Hua was taken aback. He didn’t understand why Tang Yi was still so fearless after everything that had been said.
What was he relying on?
"Hah, so arrogant!"
Li Kuang sneered with contempt. He thought Tang Yi was far too confident. Since he knew Tang Yi was only a Battle Spirit, there was no way he could win given the huge disparity in power. To actively challenge them was simply courting death.
"Group Leader Feng, let’s stop wasting our breath on him. Since this kid is looking to die, let’s just grant him his wish!" Li Kuang said, extremely irritated by Tang Yi’s arrogance.
"Tang Yi, I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you come back with me obediently, I guarantee I’ll spare your life." Feng Hua ignored Li Kuang and tried to persuade Tang Yi one last time.
