I Break through Crazily
Chapter 422: Chapter 421: Questioning the Black Robe’s Identity
The blood-red mist spread from Tang Yi’s body like countless invisible hands, coiling around all the surrounding men in black and binding them tightly.
No matter how strong the men in black were, or how powerful their Martial Techniques, they were utterly helpless before these hands of blood-red mist, unable to move even an inch.
An immense pressure also bore down on the minds of all the men in black, making them miserable as even breathing became difficult.
As more and more blood-red mist filled the air, the entire sky turned crimson. Against this bloody backdrop, the setting sun looked incredibly eerie, and the nauseating, metallic tang of blood grew even more pungent.
Just then, Spatial Rifts suddenly tore open in the sky. As if drawn by Tang Yi’s blood-red mist, countless enchanting crimson currents erupted violently from the rifts, like a volcano, in a spectacular display of power.
This blood energy was unbelievably frenzied. After erupting from the rifts, it shot toward the men in black, slamming into their fragile bodies.
SPLATTER!
Amidst a rising crescendo of agonizing screams and desperate cries, dozens of men in black were simultaneously subjected to a baptism of frenzied blood energy.
One after another, the men in black were battered by the blood energy, their bodies bursting like balloons. They dissolved into clouds of blood mist, incinerated into nothingness.
"Ding, congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Battle King, gaining 220,128 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding, congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Battle King, gaining 154,213 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding, congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Battle King, gaining 197,452 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding, congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Battle Emperor, gaining 3,623,481 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"..."
As he reaped the lives of the men in black, a continuous stream of prompts sounded in Tang Yi’s mind, rewarding him with enormous amounts of Experience Value.
「Ten seconds later.」
All the strange phenomena vanished. All the blood energy vanished. And all the men in black... had vanished as well.
The only ones left in the sky were the leader of the men in black and an indifferent-looking Tang Yi.
The leader had only been spared because Tang Yi had intentionally controlled the blood energy, deliberately avoiding him. That was the only reason he was lucky enough to be alive.
Otherwise, despite being a Nine-Star Battle Emperor, he would have been obliterated by the immense power of the Blood Qi Burst, turned into a mist of blood just like the others, with not even a bone left behind!
Of course, even though the leader was still alive, Tang Yi had held back. Still, the man was covered in wounds, his clothes were in tatters, and he looked to be in a wretched state.
The leader of the men in black was gasping heavily, his entire body trembling. The way he looked at Tang Yi was with utter terror; he was frightened to his core.
’I’ve never seen such a terrifying attack, never seen such terrifying blood energy, and I’ve certainly never seen such a terrifying young man!’
Tang Yi, Floating in the air, was quite satisfied with the terrified expression on the leader’s face.
Tang Yi was especially pleased with the power of the Martial Technique, Blood Qi Burst.
Moreover, as his own power grew, not only had the technique’s destructive force increased, but the drain it placed on him had also lessened significantly.
Previously, whenever Tang Yi used this Martial Technique, he would immediately fall into a weakened state, feeling mentally and physically drained.
But now, he felt nothing of the sort. He could use it normally, and it would be no problem to cast it three to five times in a row.
After quietly savoring the feeling of casting Blood Qi Burst, Tang Yi turned to the sole remaining man in black. "Speak," he said. "Who sent you after me? You’d better start talking while I’m still in a decent mood!"
"Yes, yes! I’ll talk! I’ll talk! I beg you, sir, please don’t kill me!"
Hearing this, the man in black, terrified, immediately gave in and began begging Tang Yi for mercy.
In truth, the higher the Level and the more powerful a Martial Artist becomes, the more they fear death.
Although a long life might make one indifferent to certain things, it can also make one cherish their own life all the more—just like this man in black.
Seeing Tang Yi crush them so easily, leaving them utterly unable to fight back, he had surrendered immediately without a second thought.
Defiance meant certain death, and this man in black did not want to die!
"Speak," Tang Yi said coolly.
"Yes, sir."
The man in black gave Tang Yi a deep, ninety-degree bow in a weak but respectful manner. Then he said, "I am a disciple of the Heaven-Devouring Sect. I was dispatched by the Sect on a mission to assassinate you, sir."
"The Heaven-Devouring Sect?"
Tang Yi was slightly taken aback.
When he had used his Celestial Eye Technique on these men earlier, it had only displayed information like their Levels and names. It hadn’t shown any affiliation, which was why Tang Yi had to ask who they were.
’To think they were actually disciples from the Heaven-Devouring Sect!’
If it was the Heaven-Devouring Sect, then it made perfect sense that they would try to assassinate him.
Considering how Tang Yi had completely ruined the Heaven-Devouring Sect’s meticulously laid plans in the Little Extreme Sacred Land, it would be stranger if they *didn’t* hate him and want him dead.
The two sides had well and truly become mortal enemies.
However, why hadn’t the Celestial Eye Technique shown this Heaven-Devouring Sect disciple’s background? This made Tang Yi extremely curious, and also very concerned.
After all, the Celestial Eye Technique was one of his greatest assets.
The information it provided allowed him to learn an enemy’s strength, assess his chances against them, and even identify their affiliations. As the saying goes, ’know thyself and know thy enemy, and you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.’ It was this knowledge that allowed him to remain so calm and composed.
But now, it had suddenly failed to show their origins. What if more assassins came in the future, their affiliations also hidden? And what if they refused to talk, even under pain of death? Who would Tang Yi seek revenge against then? Who could he hold accountable?
If he couldn’t find the source and eliminate it, wouldn’t the trouble and the attempts on his life be endless?
This was a serious problem, and not a situation Tang Yi wanted to find himself in!
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Yi turned back to the man in black and asked, "Let me ask you, have you officially joined the Heaven-Devouring Sect? Or do you have some other identity?"
"How did you know, sir?"
The man in black was stunned for a moment before replying, "Your insight is truly god-like, sir. While I am a disciple of the Heaven-Devouring Sect, due to arrangements from the higher-ups, their operational needs, and various other reasons, my identity was concealed. I was placed outside to act as a Loose Cultivator. I haven’t truly joined the Sect, and my name is not on their official rolls."
