Even for a Battle Supreme Master like Duan Dewen, killing several thousand Martial Artists at the Battle Spirit and Battle King Levels would require him to go all out. Even then, he might not succeed.
When completely surrounded and besieged, with attacks coming from all directions, how could a single person, no matter how strong, possibly Resist them all?
He could manage for a short time, certainly, but not for long. A single lapse in concentration, and he could be utterly doomed.
Don’t think for a second that ants can’t kill an elephant. When there are enough of them, even an elephant has to retreat from their swarm.
These several thousand Martial Artists at the Battle Spirit Level and above were no easy foe!
And among them were four Battle Emperor Level Purple Robe Mercenaries!
Having four Battle Emperors mixed in with several thousand Martial Artists at the Battle Spirit Level or higher greatly increased their lethality!
Facing occasional sneak attacks from four Battle Emperors while being worn down by countless Battle Spirits and Battle Kings, even a Battle Supreme Master like him might not have been able to escape unscathed!
And yet, what about that young man who called himself Tang Feng?
He didn’t have a single scratch on him, and his Spirit was exceptionally high. He showed no signs of having been through a major battle.
The way he looked, it was as if killing those several thousand Mercenaries had been completely effortless!
’Moreover, who knows what kind of techniques he used to kill those several thousand Mercenaries in an instant. From the moment the black Signal Flare was fired to the moment we arrived, very little time had passed. To kill several thousand Mercenaries so quickly... could that be done with ordinary techniques? Could he be some simple character? Could his power possibly be low?’
Looking at the field of ice and snow below, at the thousands of Mercenaries buried within it like ice sculptures, and feeling the aura emanating from it, even an expert of Duan Dewen’s Level felt a chill creep into his heart.
This chill didn’t just come from the ice and snow; it came from the young man who called himself Tang Feng!
’So, considering the disparity in strength, how could he not choose to let the matter rest?’
’Did he dare fight that young man?’
’He didn’t!’
’The losses were already immense. He couldn’t afford to lose any more.’
’If the remaining dozens of Purple Robe Mercenaries were also lost, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps would have to disband.’
In fact, there was another reason that made Duan Dewen decide to settle the matter peacefully.
The thousands of members of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had actually died long before they arrived; they had been dead for quite some time.
During that time, the young man calling himself Tang Feng could have left whenever he wanted. But instead, he had remained here, waiting, showing no intention of leaving at all.
’What did that prove?’
’It proved that he wasn’t afraid of anyone. It proved he had a trump card that let him fear no one!’
That confident demeanor, that ’I was just waiting here for you’ look on his face, made Duan Dewen deeply wary.
Yes, he was intimidated by the young man’s calm composure.
It was a good thing Duan Dewen had a quick mind and thought things through, noticing these details. If it had been Duan Dewu, a fight would have likely already broken out.
But starting a fight would mean facing even greater losses, something Duan Dewen definitely did not want to see.
So, facing the young man who called himself Tang Feng, even though he had killed several thousand members of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, Duan Dewen had no choice but to opt for peace and a temporary truce.
While the Purple Robe Mercenaries found this incomprehensible, to Duan Dewen, it was the only logical course of action. He was thinking of what was best for the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps.
"Dewu, let me handle this. Don’t say another word," Duan Dewen glanced at Duan Dewu and said firmly.
"But..."
Duan Dewu tried to say more, but Duan Dewen cut him off with a wave of his hand. "No buts. I’ll report this matter to the Corps Leader later. I alone will bear any consequences. You don’t need to worry about it. And that goes for the rest of you. No more talk. Just follow my orders."
The other Purple Robe Mercenaries also wanted to protest, but a single glare from Duan Dewen silenced them. Instantly, no one dared to speak.
After all, in the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, besides the Corps Leader, the Left and Right Guardians held the highest Position and had the greatest strength. Since the Corps Leader had left some days ago and wasn’t present, all matters were naturally decided by the Left and Right Guardians.
Now that the Right Protector said he wanted to make peace with the young man, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the others didn’t dare say a word. They could only glare helplessly, unable to do anything.
"Alright." Duan Dewu had always listened to Duan Dewen. After all, Duan Dewen was his older brother; how could he dare to disobey him? So, he had no choice but to concede.
With no more complaints from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, Duan Dewen turned back to Tang Yi. "So, Brother Tang Feng? Your father is not in our hands, nor have we ever seen him. Therefore, there is no irreconcilable grudge between us. We sent men to cause you trouble, and in return, you’ve killed several thousand of our people. Let’s call it even. We’ve gotten to know each other through this conflict, so let’s let the matter drop here. Neither of us will trouble the other again. What do you say?"
Duan Dewen’s words were extremely conciliatory, and he showed Tang Yi a great deal of respect.
Had it been an ordinary person, they would have been overjoyed to be offered a peaceful resolution after killing several thousand people and would have agreed immediately.
But would Tang Yi reconcile?
Of course not!
’Neither of us will trouble the other again? You want me to let this go so easily? In your dreams!’
Tang Yi sneered contemptuously. "Are the worthless lives of a few thousand members of your Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps even worthy of being compared to the lives of my Tang Family? My Tang Family, with its hundreds of members, was wiped out by you, and you think we can just call it even? You say my father isn’t here, and I’m supposed to believe you? Have you let me search the place?"
"Heh. It’s not impossible for me to let this matter rest. First, since you claim my father isn’t here, you will let me search the premises. Second, that old bastard with the scar on his neck was the mastermind of this whole affair. Everything is his fault, so he must die! Third, this Wolf Fighting Slope is no longer suitable for you. All of you will leave Wolf Fighting Slope and find a new base elsewhere. Agree to these three conditions, and I’ll consider the matter dropped. I won’t cause you any more trouble! But if you refuse, then this isn’t over!"
"You shameless brat!"
"You’ve refused our kindness, so don’t blame us for what’s next! I can’t take this anymore!"
"Right Protector, look! This brat is shameless! We offered him an easy way out, and he spat on it! There’s no need to be polite with him anymore."
"Damn it! AHHHHHH! I’m so pissed!"
Hearing Tang Yi’s words, the eyes of the Purple Robe Mercenaries burned with fury. They trembled with anger and roared in outrage.
