How is this possible?
How could Tang Yi be this strong?
The Chief Examiners of the West Mansion had questioned Tang Yi before, believing it was a death wish for him to fight a Battle Emperor Martial Artist.
But now, no one dared to question him anymore.
Killing over twenty Battle Kings in one strike, and even injuring a Battle Emperor—which Battle King could possibly do that?
Tang Yi had personally proven his strength, showing everyone that he wasn’t just bragging, but that he truly had the power to fight a Battle Emperor!
Inside the Void Warship, the crowd of examinees and the powerhouses from the West Mansion were also watching the battle in the sky. When they saw Tang Yi erupt with astonishing Combat Power once again, their reactions were much calmer than everyone else’s.
After all, they had seen it too many times. From the moment the Heaven-Devouring Thief attacked until now, Tang Yi had created so many miracles that they had grown accustomed to the feeling—even a little numb to it.
Now, even if someone claimed Tang Yi could defeat a Battle Emperor Powerhouse, the crowd would nod and believe it without hesitation.
Meanwhile, the Battle Emperor Martial Artist in the golden mask looked at his own miserable state in utter astonishment. He had never imagined that the young Martial Artist before him could unleash such immense Power.
This golden-masked Battle Emperor Martial Artist was named Du Penghui. He was a One-Star Battle Emperor, just a hair’s breadth away from reaching Two-Star. It had taken him a full sixty years of cultivation to reach his current level.
Before meeting Tang Yi, he had been quite pleased with himself, thinking that reaching the Battle Emperor Level in just sixty years already made him an extraordinary genius among Martial Artists.
But after meeting Tang Yi, he realized he had wasted the last sixty years of his life.
’How old is Tang Yi? He has already reached the Battle King Level and can kill dozens of Battle Kings in a single strike. If he were allowed to cultivate for several more decades, what heights would he reach?’
It had to be said that Du Penghui had truly stumbled at the hands of a genius this time.
Previously, when Du Penghui saw Tang Yi charging over, he paid him no mind. By the time he sensed the incredibly frenzied Energy from the Martial Technique Tang Yi was using, it was already too late to stop him.
In other words, the deaths of those Battle King Warriors were caused by Du Penghui’s own contempt!
If he hadn’t underestimated Tang Yi back then and had acted quickly to eliminate him before he could execute his Martial Technique, those Battle King Warriors would not have died.
The losses this time would not have been so great.
Unfortunately, there are no ’what ifs’ in the world.
"Who are you?"
Du Penghui stared at Tang Yi and finally spoke his first words. His voice was incredibly weathered, as if it had been through countless trials and held many stories.
The reason he wasn’t attacking immediately, but instead asking about Tang Yi’s identity, was because he was extremely curious about him.
Tang Yi was too young, and the power he had just unleashed was too immense.
So young, yet so powerful—it was impossible for Du Penghui not to take notice.
"Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that I am the one who will end your Life," Tang Yi said confidently.
’A Battle King Warrior is worth over 300,000 Experience Value... so what about a Battle Emperor Martial Artist?’
Tang Yi was incredibly eager to kill a Battle Emperor Martial Artist and claim their Experience.
Therefore, a battle between him and the Battle Emperor before him was inevitable. There was nothing more to say.
"Heh, young man, confidence is a good thing, but arrogance will get you killed early. Do you think you’re being confident right now, or arrogant?" Du Penghui sneered.
"Confident, of course," Tang Yi said without hesitation.
"But I think you’re arrogant. You think killing a few Battle Kings makes you my equal? You’re far too naive," Du Penghui said disdainfully, not viewing Tang Yi as an equal opponent just because he had killed over twenty Battle Kings.
’An ant may be strong, but it’s still just a slightly stronger ant.’
In Du Penghui’s eyes, Tang Yi was merely a strong ant.
"If he’s not enough, then what about me?"
Just then, Elder Lu finally reached Tang Yi’s side, took a step forward, and spoke.
"Elder Lu."
Tang Yi glanced over his shoulder.
"Mm," Elder Lu nodded, then said to Tang Yi with affirmation, "I acknowledge your strength. You are qualified to face this powerful enemy with me."
"Thank you, Elder Lu," Tang Yi said gratefully.
He was delighted to have his strength acknowledged.
"Alright, we can talk about the rest later. For now, let’s face our powerful foe," Elder Lu whispered to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi nodded to show he understood.
Across from them, Du Penghui heard Elder Lu’s words and chuckled, saying with equal disdain, "You? You still have any Combat Power left? You’re lucky my ’Celestial Spin Storm’ didn’t kill you just now, yet you dare come here to throw your life away."
"Whether I have any Combat Power, whether I’m here to die... why don’t you test me and find out?"
Elder Lu sneered, and as he spoke, he shot toward Du Penghui, swiftly striking out with his palm.
BAM!
Du Penghui had met his palm strike with one of his own.
The next second, Elder Lu was sent flying back to Tang Yi’s side, while Du Penghui wore a look of surprise.
"This... This is impossible! I clearly inflicted a Severe Injury on you! Even if you didn’t die, you couldn’t possibly still possess such powerful Combat Power!" Du Penghui said in disbelief.
"But the truth is right before your eyes. You have no choice but to believe it, don’t you? Now, do you still think that little friend Tang Yi and I together cannot defeat you?" Elder Lu said with a laugh.
He then turned to glance at Tang Yi, giving him a thankful look.
"Hmph. I don’t know how you managed it, but so what if you’ve recovered your Combat Power? Two ants trying to overturn the sun and moon... you want to fight me? Then bring it on! Allow me to show you just how brilliant the light of the sun and moon truly is!" Du Penghui said with contempt.
"Fine. Then let’s have another battle!" Elder Lu said in a grim voice.
At that moment, Tang Yi whispered into Elder Lu’s ear, "Elder Lu, can you hold him off for me? I have an ace up my sleeve that might be able to kill that golden-masked Battle Emperor Powerhouse in a single strike!"
"What? Are you serious? How confident are you?" Elder Lu looked at Tang Yi in astonishment upon hearing his words.
’He never expected Tang Yi to still have an ace up his sleeve at a time like this! And the Martial Technique that had just killed over twenty Battle King Warriors wasn’t even his trump card! This was simply beyond shocking. That Martial Technique was so powerful, yet it wasn’t Tang Yi’s final ace in the hole?’
At this point, Elder Lu had no doubt about the truth of Tang Yi’s words. After the battle just now, he knew Tang Yi wasn’t one to brag. If he said he had another ace, then he definitely had one.
"If it were just me, I’d only have a thirty percent chance of success. But with you, Elder Lu, I’m one hundred percent confident, as long as you can help me hold him off!" Tang Yi replied after a moment of thought.
