BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
First, the power of the Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash erupted instantly.
As Tang Yi’s hand smashed into the ground, the earth within a ten-by-ten-meter area fractured and split apart, with deep fissures suddenly appearing before everyone’s eyes.
Immediately after, countless streams of scorching magma surged out, accompanied by plumes of black smoke and rolling waves of fire.
The temperature skyrocketed in an instant, turning the entire area into a furnace.
Even the members of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps, watching from a distance, could feel wave after wave of heat washing over them, making their cheeks burn and filling the air with the smell of scorched hair.
The Giant Sword, which had been flying through the air to strike Tang Yi, was halted by the impact of the flames.
HISS!
The torrent of energy from the Giant Sword clashed with the magma erupting from the ground. The flames scorched the once-flawless, silver-white blade until it was pitch-black. Under the assault of the raging fire, the Giant Sword seemed unable to Resist, teetering on the verge of collapse as its body began to tremble violently.
In the distance, Zhangg Yuxi, who had been maintaining the Dharma Seal, grew pale. His body trembled uncontrollably, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
As the onslaught of magma and fire grew fiercer, the Giant Sword turned even darker. It became coated in a thick layer of magmatic ash, losing its original ferocious Sharpness and the bright, white luster of its metal, until it looked like a small, blackened hill.
In the end, Tang Yi’s Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash was a notch more powerful!
Finally, with a soft *thud*, the Giant Sword fell to the ground, where it was engulfed by the countless blazing flames.
CRACK!
With a soft sound, the hill-like Giant Sword shattered into countless fragments, merging with the sea of fire.
As the Giant Sword disintegrated, Zhangg Yuxi coughed, "PFFT," and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. He then collapsed to his knees, having suffered significant internal injuries, his face a mask of utter disbelief.
"Impossible... impossible... Why did I lose? Why?!" Zhangg Yuxi murmured, his gaze unfocused and bleak.
"It’s time to end this," Tang Yi said coolly, arriving in front of Zhangg Yuxi.
Zhangg Yuxi looked up at Tang Yi, his eyes filled with terror, resentment, and indignation. He screamed, "No, you can’t kill me! I am a Silver Robed Martial Artist of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, a core member! If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of my Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps! From now on, you will face their endless pursuit!"
"The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps?" Tang Yi sneered, then said with immense confidence, "Don’t worry. A Mercenary Corps like that, full of fiends in human skin who only do dirty deeds behind the scenes? Sooner or later, I will wipe them out, root and stem!"
This wasn’t just empty boasting from Tang Yi. With a heaven-defying cheat like the Battle God System, all he needed was a little time. The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps? He could annihilate them with a wave of his hand!
Therefore, he paid no mind to Zhangg Yuxi’s threats.
’Pursuit?’
’If one comes, I’ll kill one. If ten come, I’ll kill a group!’
’Perfect. They can just deliver some Experience Value for my next level-up!’
"N-No... Don’t kill me." Seeing his threats had no effect, Zhangg Yuxi was terrified. He scrambled backward, his body trembling nonstop.
He didn’t want to die, and he especially didn’t want to die at the hands of some young brat.
But Tang Yi showed no intention of letting him go. He advanced slowly, his gaze icy cold.
"Fine! If you won’t let me live, then I’ll drag you down with me!"
Zhangg Yuxi gritted his teeth, a vicious resolve hardening in his heart.
Reaching into his robes, he pulled out a pitch-black, circular object of extremely exquisite craftsmanship.
It was a Spiritual Energy Bullet. Once detonated, it would unleash the power of a Level 5 Demon Beast’s strongest attack.
Spiritual Energy Bullets were expensive, single-use consumables that ordinary people could never afford to buy.
However, they were incredibly practical and immensely powerful, absolutely worth the price. A Battle Grandmaster possessing a Spiritual Energy Bullet might even be able to kill a Battle Spirit Powerhouse, a feat that crossed a major cultivation level.
This just went to show how tremendously powerful the item was.
When Tang Yi saw Zhangg Yuxi reach for the Spiritual Energy Bullet, he was startled. Although he didn’t know what this round, black object was, its shape was strikingly similar to a bomb from Earth. Moreover, he felt a sense of dread from it, as if it posed an extreme threat to him.
Therefore, Tang Yi immediately activated his Celestial Eye Technique to identify the object.
The Celestial Eye Technique could identify anything in the world.
And from the Celestial Eye Technique, Tang Yi received the following item information.
Name: Spiritual Energy Bullet.
Description: A single-use consumable Weapon made by using a special method to compress the entire Energy of a Level 5 or higher Beast Core into a unique container, which is then sealed with immense Power.
Function: Once detonated, it can unleash the power of a Level 5 Demon Beast’s Absolute Strongest attack. Everything within a five-meter radius will be caught in the blast.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing the Spiritual Energy Bullet’s Description, Tang Yi acted decisively without a second thought!
If Zhangg Yuxi were allowed to detonate the Spiritual Energy Bullet, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Gale Blade!"
WHOOSH!
A white Wind Blade shot forward and, just as Zhangg Yuxi’s fingers touched the Spiritual Energy Bullet, sliced off his arm. The Spiritual Energy Bullet he was holding rolled onto the ground with a *clatter*.
Without pausing, Tang Yi flung another Gale Blade.
This one went straight for Zhangg Yuxi’s head!
SWISH!
Zhangg Yuxi’s head was severed. His eyes were filled with extreme unwillingness to accept his fate. Even as his headless body slowly collapsed, his eyes remained wide open for a long time, staring in the direction of the Spiritual Energy Bullet, unable to rest in peace.
"Phew!"
Tang Yi let out a breath, picked up the Spiritual Energy Bullet from the ground, and thought to himself, ’That was close.’
Thank goodness he had a Divine-level Skill like the Celestial Eye Technique. It allowed him to uncover Zhangg Yuxi’s plot in time and nip it in the bud. Otherwise, he might really be in the Underworld meeting King Yama right now.
"It’s finally over."
The battle hadn’t actually lasted very long, nor was it particularly perilous. If Zhangg Yuxi hadn’t underestimated Tang Yi so much at the beginning, allowing Tang Yi to kill the Gray Robe Martial Artists one by one and leaving Zhangg Yuxi isolated, the outcome would have been uncertain.
After all, six Battle Grandmasters were a formidable Power. Adding Zhangg Yuxi, a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster who already possessed the strength of a Battle Spirit, would have made it truly difficult for Tang Yi to win.
Even with a Finishing Move like Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash, he might have had to pay a certain price, perhaps even suffering a Severe Injury, to win this battle.
However, there are no do-overs in life. If you underestimate your enemy and get killed, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Besides, running into someone like Tang Yi, who possessed a system cheat, could only be considered bad luck for Zhangg Yuxi and his men. They deserved to die.
After killing Zhangg Yuxi, Tang Yi’s Level rose again, reaching the rank of a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster. He was just one step away from advancing to Battle Spirit. This Speed was like riding a rocket—unimaginably fast.
"Killing people really is the best way to level up," Tang Yi remarked with a slight smile.
