Qiu Wenguang now replayed Liuu Tian’s words in his mind. She had said that Tang Yi was merely a Battle King!
Remembering Liuu Tian’s deceptive words, Qiu Wenguang couldn’t help but feel the urge to curse out loud.
’Is this the f*cking strength a Battle King is supposed to have?’
’Even a Battle Emperor wouldn’t be much more than this, right?’
’Dammit, I was set up! I was totally set up!’
Qiu Wenguang was filled with immense regret.
To save his own skin, on top of the ten resounding kowtows Tang Yi had demanded, he performed another ten heavy kowtows.
Moreover, he performed each kowtow with extreme force, slamming his head until his forehead bled and the ground echoed with loud THUDS.
His attitude made it clear just how desperate Qiu Wenguang was to live...
Tang Yi was too powerful, and Qiu Wenguang was too desperate to live. He had no other choice.
But...
’Was it... a little too late?’
No, it wasn’t that he was too late. It was just that Qiu Wenguang’s luck had run out.
Of all the brick walls to run into, he just had to run into Tang Yi.
He was no ordinary person, but a Son of Destiny with a system at his disposal.
After all, killing people awarded Experience!
Qiu Wenguang had run into someone like that. If he didn’t die, who would?
"Heh, apologizing now? Begging for mercy and kowtowing now? It’s too late!"
Tang Yi said with a cold sneer.
He had already decided to kill everyone from the Qianxi Mercenary Corps, which was why he had repeatedly provoked them. Why would he go soft now just because someone begged for mercy? That was a huge pile of pure Experience Value at stake!
With a flick of his wrist, a small, purple flame suddenly appeared in Tang Yi’s palm.
"Three Thousand Flame Flames!"
"Go!"
With a gentle toss, Tang Yi threw the Three Thousand Flame Flames toward Qiu Wenguang.
Qiu Wenguang was already uneasy and frightened. When he suddenly saw Tang Yi toss a strange, small purple flame toward him, his heart leaped in shock and he was filled with terror.
However, the small purple flame wasn’t flying very fast. If he had just turned and run, with his Speed as a Battle King, the flame would never have caught him; it would have been powerless against him.
But perhaps because he was in such a panic, Qiu Wenguang didn’t flee. Instead, he chose to raise the Great Saber in his hand to Resist the purple flame!
’Use a Great Saber to Resist the Three Thousand Flame Flames?’
’How is that even possible!’
’An Exotic Fire isn’t something you can just Resist with a Great Saber!’
"WHOOSH!"
The Three Thousand Flame Flames was exceptionally ferocious. It burned whatever it touched, and its intensity only grew.
The moment it touched Qiu Wenguang’s Great Saber, it was as if it had found an abundant source of fuel. It instantly grew more violent, expanding from a small flicker into a raging inferno several times its original size.
The blaze continued to grow, bathing the entire area in a purple glow. In the blink of an eye, the Great Saber was completely engulfed by the purple flames.
However, it wasn’t over. The purple flames snaked rapidly upward, nearly reaching Qiu Wenguang himself.
Having never seen such a terrifying flame, Qiu Wenguang was so scared he instantly dropped his Great Saber. But was that even a Great Saber anymore?
The moment it left his grasp, there was a soft CRACK. The once-gleaming blade had turned pitch-black. As he tossed it away, it disintegrated with a CRUMBLE, turning into a pile of black ash that scattered on the ground.
Did he think that by dropping the Great Saber, he would be safe?
Of course not!
Before he had thrown the blade, a tiny spark had already landed on him.
FWOOSH.
That tiny spark burst into flame!
And it couldn’t be slapped away! It couldn’t be smothered!
The saying "a single spark can start a prairie fire" was a terrifyingly apt description for what was happening to Qiu Wenguang.
Once that tiny spark landed on him, it immediately erupted into a monstrous inferno, swallowing Qiu Wenguang in the blink of an eye.
"No!"
Along with Qiu Wenguang’s agonizing shriek, his body was enveloped by the purple flames right before the eyes of Tang Yi and the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps. He was burned to ashes, which then scattered to the winds...
A Battle King of his generation, burned alive just like that!
"HISS!"
One of the members of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. The loud gasp echoed in the silent canyon entrance, a testament to how shocked and terrified they were by the power of the Three Thousand Flame Flames!
It was too terrifying!
A tiny flicker of flame, just by barely touching someone, could erupt into such a devastating inferno and burn a man to ash. It was too horrifying!
’How can such a terrifying flame exist in this world!’
’What in the world is that?’
It wasn’t just the members of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps; even Liuu Tian was scared out of her wits by Tang Yi’s display.
If Tang Yi’s nonchalant slaughter of the Qianxi Mercenary Corps members had given the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps one hundred points of shock and terror, then watching him use the Three Thousand Flame Flames to incinerate Qiu Wenguang gave them one thousand points, maybe even two thousand—a ten or twenty-fold increase!!
This just went to show how immense the shock and terror this small purple flame had brought upon the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps.
And yet, this terrifying thing, with a simple beckoning gesture from Tang Yi, flew back obediently into his palm. Then, with a slight flick of his hand, it vanished!!
And throughout it all, Tang Yi’s hand remained completely unharmed!
This display of his Techniques left the members of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps completely dumbfounded.
’This purple flame, which can incinerate a Battle King Powerhouse with just a tiny spark, poses no threat to Tang Yi?’
’He can control it so freely?’
’He’s just too incredible!’
’Then again, how could his own Techniques hurt him? That would be a joke, wouldn’t it?’
Seeing how powerful Tang Yi was, with his seemingly endless bag of tricks, everyone was deeply impressed.
Even Wang Dali, lying on the ground with Severe Injury and just barely able to open his eyes, couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe as he watched.
’Now *that* is a true powerhouse!’
’He’s the kind of peerless figure who is worthy of Liuu Tian!’
’For him, Wang Dali, a lowly mercenary, to think of competing with Tang Yi... it was simply courting death.’
After this incident, Wang Dali would never again dare to show Tang Yi the slightest disrespect, nor would he dare to harbor any improper thoughts about Liuu Tian.
"Sister Liuu."
As everyone watched, Tang Yi acted as if he had just done something trivial. He dusted off his hands, slowly walked over to Liuu Tian, and pretended to reach into his robes for something. In reality, he opened his system inventory, took out the small cloth pouch containing the Jiuli Flower, and handed it to her. "Sister Liuu," he said, "this is for you."
"This is..." Liuu Tian looked at the small cloth pouch, momentarily stunned. She didn’t understand why Tang Yi was suddenly handing it to her.
"You’ll know if you open it," Tang Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liuu Tian gave Tang Yi a suspicious look before taking the small cloth pouch from him and opening it.
"This is... this is the Jiuli Flower!"
After opening the pouch and seeing what was inside, Liuu Tian’s eyes widened in delighted surprise.
