"If what you say is true, that’s really incredible!" said Liu Hongyuan, the guard from the West Mansion, nodding.
The onlookers nearby who believed Tao Siyuan’s story also nodded one after another, sighing in amazement.
"See? Incredible, right? And what a massive formation! When I saw it, I couldn’t help but tremble. I have no idea what that young man’s heart is made of. He saw all those Mercenaries and wasn’t the least bit nervous!" Tao Siyuan said.
"Maybe the boy is just mentally tough, or maybe his skill makes him fearless. Brother Tao, what happened next? What happened? And why did you run away in terror? What else did you see?" Liu Hongyuan asked urgently.
"Yes, that’s it! His skill makes him fearless!"
"Don’t rush me. Let me tell you the story slowly."
Tao Siyuan nodded emphatically in agreement. Then, putting on the air of a storyteller, he slowly began, "After several thousand Silver Robed Mercenaries and a few hundred Golden Robed Mercenaries arrived as reinforcements, that young man, unexpectedly, showed no fear in the face of such Power. Even while completely surrounded, he fought with ease. No one could get near him, and no one could pose a threat! It didn’t look like the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps was besieging him at all. It was more like he was slaughtering them. It was just too easy!"
"Not only that, but the young man fought more and more fiercely inside the encirclement, growing more excited with every kill. In the blink of an eye, several hundred more Mercenaries had died at his hands. The scene... the shock... I don’t even know how to describe it. You have to understand, these weren’t ordinary Mercenaries! These were the Silver Robed and Golden Robed Mercenaries of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps—their elites! They possessed the strength of Battle Spirits, some even Battle Kings or higher. And a force like that was also slain by that young man as easily as chopping vegetables?"
"On top of that, this young man has an incredibly powerful Martial Technique. With a single strike, lava would surge and Flames would Fill the Sky. Then, the strange phenomenon of the Ice and Fire Two Realms would appear! Countless Mercenaries from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps died or were wounded under this attack, suffering enormous losses. The dense black tide of people was instantly cleared, leaving a huge empty space. Tell me, isn’t that terrifying? Isn’t it horrifying?"
"Terrifying! Very terrifying!"
"Horrifying! Absolutely horrifying!"
The onlookers’ blood boiled with excitement as they listened, nodding in emphatic agreement.
"What’s so terrifying? What’s so horrifying? This is obviously not real. It sounds exactly like a storyteller’s tall tale. Where in the world would you find a teenager that powerful?" someone disagreed.
However, Tao Siyuan completely ignored those who didn’t believe him or disagreed, making no effort to argue.
After some time to adjust, and with experts from the West Mansion now keeping order, Tao Siyuan was no longer so terrified by what he had seen. On the contrary, energized by the crowd’s response, he grew incredibly excited. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, as if, for this one moment, he was the main character.
He continued, "Even for a massive organization like the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, such heavy losses were completely unbearable. So, the high-ranking members of the Mercenary Corps, the Purple Robe big shots who were holding down the fort, could no longer remain calm. They finally made their move! There were four of these Purple Robe masters, and all four of them attacked that powerful young man at once!"
"Within the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, a single Mercenary of the Purple Robe Level is said to possess the strength of a Battle Emperor. Four Purple Robes means four Battle Emperors! Four Battle Emperors attacking a single young man—can you imagine how shocking a scene that is? How great of a threat would that be? And those four Purple Robe masters were also very clever. They knew the young man was powerful and not easy to deal with, so they didn’t attack him head-on. Instead, they hid and launched a sneak attack. A sneak attack from four Battle Emperors... that’s even more terrifying. Who could possibly Resist that?"
"A sneak attack from four Battle Emperors!!"
Hearing that four Purple Robe Mercenaries attacked at the same time, and with a sneak attack no less, everyone in the crowd held their breath and focused their full attention. They listened intently to Tao Siyuan’s tale without a word, completely captivated, as if listening to an epic story.
A young man, single-handedly challenging thousands, defeating an Ultimate Venerable, and sweeping away all who stood in his path—who wouldn’t love a story as exaggerated as a legend?
Who wouldn’t want to imagine themselves as the hero of the story?
Thus, everyone was mesmerized, even those who didn’t believe Tao Siyuan’s words.
Tao Siyuan continued his endless torrent of words, "A sneak attack requires waiting for the right moment, right? After waiting for a long time, those four Battle Emperor Level Purple Robe masters finally found an opportunity. They all dove down at once, launching their assault on the young man from the air. The ambush was about to succeed, but guess what happened?"
"It turns out the young man had noticed the four Purple Robe masters long ago! The instant they dove down, the youth raised his sword, and a beam of Sword Energy shot straight into the heavens, blasting toward the four of them. In that moment, two of the Purple Robe masters were struck by the Sword Energy and blown into bloody chunks, dying at the young man’s hands. The other two managed to escape, but they were also covered in wounds..."
"So... so powerful!"
"That young man is defying the heavens!! His strength is just too immense!"
"Killing two and injuring two with a single sword strike, and they were all big shots at the Battle Emperor Level! Heavens, that’s just too incredible!"
"Just who on earth is this Divine youth? How could he possess such strength?"
"He can kill Battle Emperor Level experts at such a young age. If he were given a little more time, what would he become?"
"He must be from a Major Sect or a great Clan. Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to be such a peerless genius!"
"I’d love to see such a talented prodigy for myself."
"The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps is really unlucky to have provoked someone like that."
"Right, I wonder what the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps even did to provoke a monster like that to come knocking on their door."
"Heh, you guys might not know about the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. On the surface, they act like a righteous force, but behind the scenes, everything they do is utterly depraved. Plenty of people have wanted revenge on them, they just never ran into a brick wall until now, so their crimes never came to light."
"Shh! Are you looking to die? There are eyes and ears everywhere. If you want to discuss this, don’t do it here! Don’t you want to live?"
Hearing Tao Siyuan’s account, the onlookers’ jaws all dropped, completely dumbfounded.
A flurry of discussion about Tang Yi erupted.
To kill two and injure two Battle Emperors in a single strike—what an incredible battle record! What an incredible display of strength!
In the Western Domain, where had anyone ever seen such a character?
And he was just a teenager, no less! How could the crowd not be shocked?
He was already so powerful as just a youth. What would he be like when he grew up?
However, what would truly astonish the crowd was yet to come.
