"It was me. A shame you found out too late," Tang Yi said to Round Dance with a smile.
When Little Tiger was about to be attacked by the men in black earlier, it was Tang Yi who had struck.
From an angle no one else could see, he had condensed three Wind Blades and launched them at the men in black. The cleanly severed corpses of Round Dance’s subordinates were the handiwork of those Wind Blades.
The powerful cutting force of the Wind Blades sliced through the men in black with ease.
Furthermore, their incredible speed and semi-transparent nature made them impossible to defend against.
So, no one knew Tang Yi was the one who did it.
Round Dance had only suspected Tang Yi because he’d seen the uncanny smile on his face. He never thought it was actually true!
But Round Dance still refused to believe Tang Yi could become so strong. He shook his head and said, "Impossible. The report we received said you were only slightly stronger than a Battle Grandmaster—at the Battle Spirit Level at most. How could you possibly possess such powerful techniques!"
The report stated that Tang Yi’s strength was at the Battle Spirit Level at most. How could he possibly possess such a powerful attack?
And when the attack was launched, even he, a Battle King, hadn’t noticed it!
Possessing a Battle King Level Demon Beast was explainable. After all, perhaps some great influence was backing Tang Yi, so providing him with a Guardian Demon Beast was understandable.
However, for his strength to skyrocket in an instant, giving him techniques that could instantly kill Battle Spirits—that just didn’t add up!
After all, even though Round Dance was a Battle King, and fighting several of his subordinates at once was no issue, he couldn’t instantly kill them. Especially not with such a bizarre technique that sliced them in half.
"Heh." Hearing this, Tang Yi chuckled. He didn’t answer Round Dance right away. Instead, he looked over at Little Tiger and said disapprovingly, "Oh, you. You let them catch you just like that? If I hadn’t stepped in, you little thing would’ve been hurt."
"Mrow~" Little Tiger cried out to Tang Yi, sounding wronged. It lowered its head, not daring to look at him, like a child who had made a mistake. It looked utterly pitiful.
Seeing it like this, you could hardly imagine it was the same terrifying Demon Beast from moments ago—the one with incredible speed that dismembered people with a single strike.
"Alright." Little Tiger’s human-like expression made Tang Yi chuckle.
Little Tiger was a juvenile Demon Beast, after all. Its mentality was still a bit immature. To think it could defeat a Battle King and a dozen-odd Battle Spirits by itself was an incredibly difficult task.
Besides, Tang Yi hadn’t expected Round Dance to be so cunning. He had not only reacted during such a fast-paced battle but had even managed to set a trap for his enemy. That was a combat skill well worth learning.
Tang Yi thought for a moment before finally saying, "In that case, I’ll take action myself. We’ve wasted enough time."
"Huh?"
Round Dance looked at Tang Yi, somewhat puzzled.
’Take action himself?’
’Tang Yi wants to fight me, a Battle King?’
’I have to admit, the way Tang Yi killed three of my subordinates just now was quite shocking.’
’But that’s all it was!’
’Even if his strength had grown to a terrifying degree, was he really qualified to fight me, a Battle King? He’s still out of his league, isn’t he?’
’I’ll admit I’m a little battered from fighting that Demon Beast, and I’ve suffered heavy losses with all my men dead. But so what?’
’My strength as a Battle King is undeniable. No one here is my match, not even that Demon Beast!’
Now that he was no longer constrained by his subordinates, Round Dance could unleash his full strength.
Killing all the men in black hadn’t weakened Round Dance. On the contrary, it had liberated his full power!
So, he wasn’t afraid of Little Tiger and Tang Yi at all.
Hearing Tang Yi’s words, Round Dance was extremely disdainful.
Round Dance sneered, "Tang Yi, aren’t you getting a little arrogant? Who the hell do you think you are? You want to fight me? I don’t know what trick you used to kill my men, but you’re still no match for me."
"You have two paths now. First: cut off your own hands and come with me obediently. Then, you will tell me everything you know. That includes who is backing you, how you obtained your strength, and what happened to the people who ambushed you on the Yangsha Ancient Dao. You’ll tell me every last detail. Otherwise, you can only choose the second path: death!"
Hearing this, Tang Yi said with a smile, "What if I want to choose a third path?"
"There is no third path," Round Dance said immediately. His voice was already laced with a ruthless, impatient tone.
"If I say there is, there is. And the third path is... your death!" Tang Yi narrowed his eyes, his voice turning sharp.
As he spoke, his hands blurred, condensing several Wind Blades.
He then quickly launched them toward Round Dance.
Tang Yi condensed these Wind Blades with such incredible speed that none of the spectators, disciples of the Noble Families, or experts from the West Mansion saw his movements, nor did they see the blades now flying toward Round Dance.
Previously, Round Dance’s attention had been focused entirely on Little Tiger, so he hadn’t noticed when Tang Yi sent out three Wind Blades to kill the men in black.
This time, however, Round Dance’s attention was fixed on Tang Yi. When he saw him make a move, he focused intently. Only then did he discover Tang Yi’s technique: an attack similar to a Qi Blade. ’No wonder it’s so powerful,’ he thought. ’No wonder it’s so hard to detect.’
Seeing this attack, Round Dance smirked in disdain. "No wonder you could kill my men," he jeered. "So you have a technique like this. Its power looks impressive, I’ll give you that. But! You think you can kill me with this alone? I can only say, you’re far too green."
With that said, Round Dance’s figure flickered as he dodged to the side, moving out of the Wind Blades’ path.
’He’s a Battle King, after all, and incredibly fast. Tang Yi’s Wind Blades are quick, but now that I’ve seen them clearly, dodging should be no problem.’
"Is that so? Heh."
Hearing Round Dance’s smug words, Tang Yi let out a cold laugh. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the Wind Blades speeding toward Round Dance instantly changed direction.
What he had launched before was Multiple Wind Blades!
But in that instant, they became Curved Wind Blades!
With these two aspects combined, no matter how powerful Round Dance was, he could never react in time!
Round Dance dodged to the side, thinking he could easily evade Tang Yi’s attack.
But when he landed and looked again, he was horrified to find that the Wind Blades had changed course and were now following him.
"Impossible!"
Round Dance’s pupils widened. He was horrified beyond belief, unable to accept what he was seeing.
’An attack like a Qi Blade... can actually change direction?’
However, there was no more time for him to be surprised.
A few soft sounds were heard—PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!—as the Wind Blades passed straight through Round Dance’s body without any suspense.
Instant kill!
