Qiu Wenguang and the four other burly mercenaries stared at Tang Yi, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
Only now did they understand. Their so-called viciousness was nothing in front of Tang Yi. Compared to him, it was like child’s play, not even worth mentioning.
Look at Tang Yi—after killing six people, his expression hadn’t changed at all. It was as if he had merely crushed six ants, not even frowning in the slightest.
’Is this the kind of person we can afford to provoke?’
Qiu Wenguang and the other four were terrified. If Tang Yi could kill six burly mercenaries with a mere wave of his hand, then killing the rest of them would be just as effortless. They had absolutely no ability to resist.
Now they finally knew they had run into a steel wall—an extremely thick and utterly unbreakable one.
Qiu Wenguang was filled with regret. If only they had shown weakness and retreated the moment Tang Yi appeared. At worst, they would have had to compensate for the damages and apologize, and that would have been the end of it. It wouldn’t be like this, stuck in an impossible situation where they couldn’t flee and couldn’t fight. It was utterly agonizing.
But unfortunately, regret was useless. There was no medicine for regret in this world.
Right now, the men of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps were in an extremely awkward position. They stood there stiffly, their faces ashen, not daring to move a muscle. They were afraid that the slightest movement would provoke an attack from Tang Yi, and they didn’t dare say another word to anger him.
’This was the kind of person who would kill at the slightest disagreement. Who would dare to speak recklessly now? Didn’t they see what happened to their colleagues just moments ago?’
However, while the Qianxi Mercenary Corps hesitated, unsure of what to do, Tang Yi had already decided their fate. At that moment, he spoke coldly, "Time’s up. Since you didn’t make a choice, that means you’ve defaulted to the third option: to be my enemy. And so... all who are my enemies deserve to die! Now, let me send you on your way!"
After speaking, Tang Yi once again extended his hand, raising a single finger.
"No!"
"No, don’t kill me!"
"I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Spare me!"
"Let us go! I’m begging you."
Hearing Tang Yi’s words, the five remaining members of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps panicked, their faces turning deathly pale. When they saw him raise his finger, they were so terrified their faces contorted in horror.
If any uninformed onlookers were to witness this scene and see the state of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps, their eyes would surely widen in utter disbelief.
A ridiculously young man had merely raised a finger, and a group of grown men were pale-faced and panic-stricken?
How was that not an exaggeration?
They would definitely think the Qianxi Mercenary Corps was utterly useless. Even if the young man were a ghost, they shouldn’t be this afraid.
Of course, what these hypothetical onlookers wouldn’t know was that in the minds of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps, Tang Yi was a hundred times more terrifying than any ghost.
’What was a ghost? Just some imaginary thing.’
’But this young man before them... he was a Demon who killed without batting an eye!’
’And not making a choice defaulted to the third option?’
’He was going to slaughter them all?’
’Wasn’t that a bit too tyrannical!’
’Where was the logic in that?’
And yet, Tang Yi was just that unreasonable.
In his eyes, the Qianxi Mercenary Corps was only begging for mercy now?
’It was too late!’
WHOOSH!
With casual grace, Tang Yi pointed his finger again, and six lethal rays of light shot out.
Of course, to Tang Yi, it was all effortless, as simple as eating a meal. After unleashing the Six Yang Rejuvenation Finger, he paid it no mind, not even bothering to see if the six rays hit their targets.
For the Qianxi Mercenary Corps, however, it was a different story.
They were drenched in sweat, their expressions tense, faces pale, and legs trembling. It was as if they weren’t facing an attack from a young man, but experiencing the end of the world!
That’s right—for them, this was the end of the world!
"No!"
The burly mercenaries of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps roared in defiance. Some fell to their knees, motionless with despair. Others slammed their foreheads to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly as they begged Tang Yi for mercy. Still others turned and tried to flee for their lives.
But without exception, every one of them was pierced by a ray of light. Their souls were sent to the Underworld, and they became Experience Value for Tang Yi.
There were five members of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps left. Tang Yi’s Six Yang Rejuvenation Finger could shoot six rays of light. He "gifted" one ray to each of the four burly mercenaries, killing them instantly.
The remaining two rays he "gifted" to the Battle King Level Qiu Wenguang.
When Qiu Wenguang saw two white rays speeding toward him, he was horrified. Biting his lip, he frantically pulled a small flag from his robes, quickly placed it on the ground, and began to chant.
VMMMM!
With a soft hum, a dazzling light burst forth, and a hazy, translucent dome of light instantly appeared within a three-meter radius around Qiu Wenguang.
The moment this dome of light appeared...
BOOM! BOOM!
The two rays struck the barrier, sending ripples across its surface. The dome held for two seconds, then began to shake violently before shattering with a loud crash.
The small flag Qiu Wenguang had placed on the ground also spontaneously burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, it was reduced to a pile of ash that scattered into the air with a gust of wind.
It seemed the small flag had been completely destroyed in order to resist Tang Yi’s attack. However, it had indeed managed to resist his incomparably powerful strike.
"Hm?"
The fact that his attack hadn’t killed Qiu Wenguang, and that he had managed to resist it, surprised Tang Yi slightly. But it was only a slight surprise. He had never really paid Qiu Wenguang much mind; everything up to this point was just to punish him, to toy with him for a bit.
’What was the fun in killing an enemy instantly? It was much more interesting to slowly drive them to despair, to make them suffer. Now that was satisfying! That was a way to vent!’
Qiu Wenguang was currently trapped in exactly that state of mind, so Tang Yi was quite satisfied. He didn’t plan to hold back any longer.
However, just as Tang Yi was about to deliver the finishing blow to annihilate Qiu Wenguang, the man across from him suddenly dropped to his knees. Trembling with fear, he pleaded, "Young Master! Esteemed Young Master, I was wrong, I was truly wrong! Spare me! I choose the first option! I’ll kowtow to you, and I’ll give you an Earth Tier item!"
As he spoke, he reached into his robes, pulled out a small booklet, and placed it in front of him. Then, he pressed his hands to the ground and began to kowtow to Tang Yi. THUD! THUD! THUD! He kowtowed ten times in a row, each one loud and clear.
The urgency and terror on his face were expressed to the fullest.
Of course he was desperate.
Who wouldn’t be, when death was just a moment away?
Who wouldn’t be terrified?
All of his subordinates had been effortlessly slaughtered with a mere wave of Tang Yi’s hand, completely powerless to resist.
And his precious treasure, the ’Spirit Banner’, had been turned to ash by Tang Yi’s attack.
The ’Spirit Banner’ had immense Defense Power. It could even resist the attack of a Battle Emperor for a short while. Yet, Tang Yi had shattered it with a single strike. Faced with such Attack Power, how could Qiu Wenguang not be afraid?
