Li Kuang, Zhangg Yuxi, the Battle Spirit Level Silver Robed Martial Artists, and even two Battle Kings like Feng Hua and Round Dance—these were not experts an ordinary force could possess.
Combined, their strength was more than enough to wipe out all the other forces in an entire city.
’With such formidable strength, is the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps really just a Mercenary Corps?’
’This kind of power would be more than enough to establish a Sect, wouldn’t it?’
’And from the looks of it, these people are just lackeys. The true leaders must be someone else entirely!’
The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps didn’t just have numerous experts; their methods were also completely different from other Mercenary Corps.
A normal Mercenary Corps would typically grow and strengthen itself slowly by taking on quests and going on expeditions.
But what about the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps?
’The first time I encountered them, didn’t it seem like Li Kuang had set a trap to victimize other Mercenary Corps for profit?’
This kind of shady business wasn’t something a respectable Mercenary Corps should be involved in!
Yet, according to what Tang Yi had discovered, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had an excellent public reputation. They were known as a righteous force, open and honorable, dedicated to punishing the wicked and eliminating evil.
This was a far cry from what Tang Yi had witnessed with his own eyes.
It was as if they weren’t the same Mercenary Corps at all.
Possessing numerous experts and a sterling reputation, yet engaging in shady business behind the scenes and being ruthlessly vindictive—when all these clues were pieced together, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps suddenly became shrouded in mystery in Tang Yi’s eyes.
’What kind of force are they, really?’
Tang Yi couldn’t help but ponder this. But regardless of what kind of force they were, the fact that they dared to come after him time and time again was simply intolerable.
Tang Yi secretly made a decision. After he went to the West Mansion and completed the mission his Clan had given him, he would definitely find the time to "pay a visit" to the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’s headquarters and see what kind of Mercenary Corps they truly were!
And just as Tang Yi made his decision, a prompt sounded in his mind.
"DING! Main Quest received: Investigate the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps and wipe out their dark operations!"
Tang Yi smiled in delight upon seeing the prompt. He never expected that simply making a decision in his heart would trigger a main quest. It was a pleasant surprise.
If he could complete it, he would receive a handsome reward.
Meanwhile, Round Dance’s short blade once again cut off Little Tiger’s path of attack as he viciously slashed at the beast.
If Little Tiger didn’t react immediately, it would crash right into the blade in the next second.
ROAR!
Seeing Round Dance’s short blade coming at it, Little Tiger let out a low growl and twisted its body again. It intended to do the same as before: rely on its superior Speed and physical advantages to dodge Round Dance’s attack.
After dodging, it would repeat its previous maneuver: using the rebound from its landing to leap up again and attack from a different angle.
This sequence of moves seemed flawless. No matter how many times Round Dance blocked its path or parried its strikes, Little Tiger could rely on its extraordinary Speed and reaction Ability to unleash a continuous series of attacks.
After all, Little Tiger’s Speed was countless times greater than Round Dance’s. Even if Round Dance could clearly see its movements and attempt to Resist, he still couldn’t keep up with its incomparable pace.
’He can block once with his right hand, and once with his left. But what happens after he’s used both?’
’Can he still Resist?’
However...
Just as Little Tiger dodged to the side, intending to use the rebound force to change its angle of attack as before, Round Dance suddenly shouted an order to the Black Robe men, "All of you, listen! Attack to your right!"
Upon hearing the command, the Black Robe men reacted instantly. Some drew their swords, others threw their fists, all striking to their right as Round Dance had ordered.
And at that very moment, Little Tiger, having changed direction, appeared on the right—just as it was leaping into the air!
It was completely committed to the motion!
Round Dance’s two parries weren’t just to Resist Little Tiger’s attacks and block its path. They were also meant to force its positioning.
His two attacks had been meticulously designed. First, he redirected Little Tiger’s frontal assault to the side, and then he guided it to the right. The moment Little Tiger entered the designated kill zone, Round Dance alerted his men, who perfectly caught it with their attack.
Such a meticulously designed trap in the heat of battle was terrifying. Little Tiger was, after all, a Demon Beast. Despite its incredible Speed, it was no match for a human in a battle of wits.
Thus, in a moment of carelessness, it fell into the trap Round Dance had laid and was besieged by all the Black Robe men.
It seemed as if all the Black Robe men’s attacks were about to land on its body.
But at that moment!
SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!
With three distinct sounds of flesh being cut, three of the Black Robe men about to strike Little Tiger were suddenly cut in half at the waist. Blood sprayed out wildly, drenching the ground.
Three more were dead!
Only four of the Battle Spirit Level Black Robe men remained!
Seeing their comrades die so suddenly, the other four Black Robe men, who had been about to attack Little Tiger, froze. They forgot to press the attack, staring in horror at the bisected corpses of their companions. They had no idea what had just hit them!
Little Tiger seized the opportunity to recover. Its leaping body quickly pounced toward the four remaining Black Robe men, claws extended, and attacked.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Its sharp claws slashed through the air. Little Tiger’s agile figure moved like a ghost dancing on the very tips of the Black Robe men’s blades, appearing here one moment and there the next.
After it had swept past all four Black Robe men, Little Tiger’s form wheeled around, putting distance between itself and Round Dance’s group, and returned to Tang Yi’s side.
At that moment, the four Black Robe men’s eyes went wide before they collapsed to the ground, their bodies reduced to countless chunks of mangled flesh. It was a gruesome sight. Blood pooled on the floor, staining the arena Red.
At this point, all of the Black Robe men at the Battle Spirit Level were dead. Only Round Dance remained.
"This... What the hell is going on!" Round Dance’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.
’I was just about to succeed! That damned pet was about to be beaten to death, and Tang Yi was about to fall into my hands.’
’How did my men suddenly get split in half and die so violently?’
’What in the world just happened?’
Round Dance looked at the bodies of his men. He saw that on the first three to die, the cuts at their waists were perfectly clean, as if made by some sharp blade.
However...
’On this stage, besides Tang Yi and that pet, who else could possibly have harmed my men?’
Frowning, Round Dance was filled with confusion. Just then, he looked over in Tang Yi’s direction and found Tang Yi watching him with a smile.
Round Dance’s heart lurched. He pointed a finger at Tang Yi and said, "It was you?"
