Tang Yi let out a deafening roar and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.
BOOM!
At that moment, a massive boom echoed as the ground trembled and spiderwebbed with cracks. A thick, pungent, bloody stench wafted out from an unknown source.
Streams of crimson mist instantly billowed out from Tang Yi’s body, enveloping all the surrounding Demon Beasts.
The crimson mist was like countless invisible hands. Emanating from Tang Yi, it coiled around every Demon Beast in the area, binding them tightly.
[Blood Qi Burst]: A Heaven Tier Middle Grade Martial Technique. The Player unleashes a burst of Blood Qi at surrounding enemies, inflicting powerful spray damage in a set area. Once cast, any opponent entering the area of effect is automatically locked down, rendered unable to move or take any action.
(This effect only applies to enemies of a certain power level. Enemies far stronger than the Player are immune to this effect.)
The Demon Beasts had seen Tang Yi climb out of the crater and were about to charge forward to tear him to shreds, but they suddenly found they couldn’t move.
A hazy, crimson mist swirled around them, creating an incredibly eerie atmosphere.
Furthermore, a tremendous, formless pressure, like Mount Tai crashing down, weighed upon them, causing immense discomfort.
At that moment, every single Demon Beast present found its efforts to be in vain, no matter how it resisted, no matter how it struggled, no matter how strong it was, and no matter what powerful trump cards it possessed.
In the face of the crimson mist, their bodies felt chained, completely immobilized.
Just then, as if drawn by Tang Yi’s crimson mist, countless ghastly, vivid-red streams of Qi erupted violently from the fissures in the earth, like a volcano.
WHOOSH! Like fierce, swift gales and surging, violent rapids, they spewed forth endlessly with terrifying force.
These torrents of Blood Qi shot toward the heavens, a brilliant, vivid red, and their stench was overwhelming.
All around, countless bits of gravel, weeds, and dead branches were swept into the sky by the currents. Trees, flowers, and grass swayed violently under the impact. The scene was one of terrifying devastation.
All the Demon Beasts present were still immobilized. When the Blood Qi erupted from the ground, they bore the full brunt of the assault. Regardless of whether they were Level 4, Level 5, or even the powerful Level 6 Demon Beasts, their bodies were all uncontrollably blasted into the air by the gale-like torrents of Blood Qi.
Their bodies drifted helplessly, locked in mid-air, where they were continuously battered by the spray of Blood Qi!
WHOOSH!
Under the relentless assault of the Blood Qi, the Demon Beasts’ faces contorted in pain and agony. It felt as if every second was an eternity of torment, each moment a heart-rending ordeal. They wanted to scream but could not make a sound; they wanted to flee but could not move. It was absolute despair.
Just like that, an unknown amount of time passed—it could have been centuries, or perhaps only a few seconds. Finally, Tang Yi’s body shuddered, and he deactivated the Skill, Blood Qi Burst.
After deactivating the Skill, Tang Yi gasped for breath, looking utterly exhausted. His Spirit also seemed drained.
’I never expected this Heaven Tier Middle Level Martial Technique to consume so much Heart Power.’
Just ten seconds of use—and that was within the system’s default safety limit—had left Tang Yi feeling physically drained and mentally exhausted.
If he had tried to force it for even a few more seconds, he felt his body might have collapsed, or his mind might have shattered!
However, with great cost came great power. The might of the unleashed Martial Technique was absolutely immense!
The moment Tang Yi deactivated Blood Qi Burst, the fissures in the ground finally stopped spewing Blood Qi. The gravel and dead branches fell from the sky, and the trees and plants ceased their violent swaying. Everything was calm and still.
As for the Demon Beasts in mid-air, they regained control of their bodies the instant the Blood Qi vanished. But after just a few struggles, their bodies suddenly tensed up. With a series of pops—POP! POP! POP!—they all exploded into clouds of blood mist and disappeared.
Not even a corpse was left behind—not so much as a single shred of flesh and blood!
Whether they were Level 4 Demon Beasts, Level 5 Demon Beasts, or even those three powerful Level 6 Demon Beasts, not a single one survived the ten-second onslaught of Blood Qi Burst!
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 6 Demon Beast. You have obtained 4,231,562 Experience Value and 10 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 6 Demon Beast. You have obtained 3,785,412 Experience Value and 10 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 6 Demon Beast. You have obtained 4,154,215 Experience Value and 10 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 5 Demon Beast. You have obtained 335,421 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 5 Demon Beast. You have obtained 312,565 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 4 Demon Beast. You have obtained 36,821 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"..."
A stream of notifications echoed in Tang Yi’s mind. He had gained tens of millions more Experience Value. Although the cost was immense, the results were more than satisfactory. The power of the Heaven Tier Middle Grade Skill, Blood Qi Burst, was simply unparalleled. Three Level 6 Demon Beasts and hundreds of Level 4 and Level 5 Demon Beasts—all annihilated in just ten seconds.
Of course, using a skill like Blood Qi Burst on the remaining Demon Beasts was, in truth, a bit of an overkill.
Although there were still three Level 6 Demon Beasts among them, the most powerful Level 6 Demon Beast—the Phoenix Crowned Three-Eyed Tiger—had already been killed. For Tang Yi, defeating the rest would have only been a matter of time.
He had used Blood Qi Burst to finish them all at once on a whim, simply wanting to experience the Skill’s power for himself.
’After all, if you’ve never used a Skill or experienced it firsthand, how can you know the true extent of its power just from the description on the Attribute Panel?’
’Only by experiencing it and using it once can you get a real feel for it, understand its strengths and weaknesses, and grasp its true power. That way, when danger strikes in the future, you’ll know which Skill is most appropriate to use.’
Now that Tang Yi had used Blood Qi Burst once, he had a much better understanding of its power. The damage was indeed high, and its crowd control and area-of-effect properties were excellent. However, the cost was far too great. A single use left him utterly exhausted and mentally drained. A Skill like this was completely unsuitable for a battle of attrition.
’However, it would make for an excellent trump card in the future.’
’Unleashing a burst like that at the most critical moment to decide a battle would surely have a miraculous effect.’
After slaughtering the horde of monsters he had lured, Tang Yi took stock of his spoils.
Besides the massive amount of Experience Value that had leveled him up from Battle Emperor to One-Star Battle Emperor, he had also gained a considerable amount of Battle God Value and some pieces of Equipment.
