I Break through Crazily

Chapter 25: Chapter 24: Killing Tang Fangzhou

An Earth Tier Martial Technique... was truly this powerful!

Though the attack hadn’t hit Tang Fangzhou directly, the powerful shockwave sent him flying. The aftershock slammed into his body like a giant boulder, leaving him dizzy and on the verge of passing out.

A single strike, and one that didn’t even land a direct hit, had left Tang Fangzhou with a Severe Injury. He flew back several meters to the very edge of the arena, nearly tumbling off.

PFFT!

After crashing to the ground, Tang Fangzhou coughed up a spray of blood that shot half a meter into the air, splattering all over his face. He then lay on the ground, wailing in agony.

HISS!

Seeing Tang Fangzhou’s miserable state and the power of Tang Yi’s strike, the crowd below the stage gasped. An unnerving silence fell over the arena, broken only by the sound of sharp intakes of breath. No one dared to utter another word.

No one had expected a single strike from Tang Yi to be so terrifying.

’What-grade Martial Technique did Tang Yi just use?’ A question mark appeared in everyone’s mind.

’What kind of Martial Technique could inflict a Severe Injury with just its aftershock?!’

’What kind of Martial Technique could blast a huge crater into the marble floor with a single blow?’

Ignoring the shocked Tang Family disciples below, Tang Yi walked up to Tang Fangzhou and said coldly, "Well? I told you not to force my hand, but you just wouldn’t listen."

Tang Fangzhou, his face covered in blood, looked at Tang Yi in terror. "What are you trying to do? You can’t kill me!"

"Can’t kill you? Tang Fangzhou, I don’t think you’ve grasped the situation." Tang Yi looked at Tang Fangzhou as if he were already a dead man.

"Tang Yi, with so many people watching, if you kill me, my grandfather won’t let you off the hook! The elders won’t let you off the hook either!" Tang Fangzhou threatened.

"Hm?" Tang Yi’s brow furrowed.

’He has a mission to complete. Tang Fangzhou must die!’

’However...’

’Tang Fangzhou actually managed to dodge that last attack.’

Tang Yi had been trying to create the illusion of an accidental death, making it look as though his Martial Skill Power was simply too great to control. But Tang Fangzhou had dodged, only getting caught in the Vibration of the aftershock and suffering a Severe Injury.

’If I kill Tang Fangzhou now, in front of everyone, it will be a little hard to explain.’

For a moment, Tang Yi hesitated.

Just then, a sinister glint flashed in Tang Fangzhou’s eyes. Seeing Tang Yi’s hesitation, he secretly reached into his embroidered robe and carefully pulled out a silver needle.

The needle was exquisite and small, about the length of a finger. Its tip had a verdant green hue, as if it had been coated with a Highly Poisonous substance. Tang Fangzhou was exceedingly careful as he brought it out.

His movements were so surreptitious that no one in the crowd saw him. They were all still stunned by the incredible power of the Martial Technique Tang Yi had just displayed.

Others might not have seen it, but Tang Lian did. She had been worried about Tang Yi getting hurt, so her gaze had been locked on the arena. Nothing, whether from Tang Yi or Tang Fangzhou, escaped her careful observation.

How could Tang Fangzhou’s subtle act of taking out the silver needle possibly escape Tang Lian’s notice?

"Brother Tang Yi, look out!" The moment Tang Fangzhou produced the needle, Tang Lian shouted a warning to Tang Yi.

But she was too slow.

"Tang Yi, you think a piece of trash like you can beat me? Go to hell!"

WHOOSH!

The silver needle flashed with a terrifying light as Tang Fangzhou flicked it straight at Tang Yi’s face.

The two were so close, and the needle was so fast. If it hit, Tang Yi would either die from having his skull pierced or from the Highly Poisonous substance on the needle.

In that moment, Tang Yi’s life was hanging by a thread.

The glorious light of victory already shone in Tang Fangzhou’s eyes, radiant and dazzling. He watched Tang Yi with the gaze of an admirer, watching him about to be killed by the needle, like a great artist admiring a masterpiece nearing completion.

’Once Tang Yi is dead, no one will be able to compete with me for Tang Lian!’

Dreams... are beautiful, but reality is exceptionally cruel.

Hearing Tang Lian’s warning, Tang Yi was instantly on alert. Every cell in his body was mobilized.

Seeing the silver light flying toward him, about to strike his face in the blink of an eye, he was horrified and hastily activated Phantom Step to retreat.

His figure flashed, a dream-like Illusion.

In the eyes of the crowd, Tang Yi split into four images, his Speed as fast as lightning.

If Tang Yi had shown this kind of Speed earlier in the fight, Tang Fangzhou would have likely been defeated long ago.

SWISH!

Tang Yi had just retreated half a step when the silver needle flew past, slicing off a single strand of his black hair, which fluttered gently to the ground.

’That was close!’

Having used Phantom Step to escape the crisis, Tang Yi looked at the severed strand of hair and let out a breath, feeling immensely relieved. Then, his gaze turned to Tang Fangzhou, filled with extreme rage.

If it weren’t for a life-saving Body Technique like Phantom Step, he might have just lost his life.

Furious, Tang Yi once again walked up to Tang Fangzhou.

"He didn’t die!"

Tang Fangzhou’s face fell. He never imagined that Tang Yi would be unharmed even after that!

His sneak attack had failed to kill Tang Yi. Sensing the murderous rage in Tang Yi’s eyes, an infinite terror rose in Tang Fangzhou’s heart.

He was scared.

This time, Tang Yi would definitely kill him. Invoking his grandfather or even an Immortal would be useless.

’But I don’t want to die!’

"Tang Yi, spar... spare me! I lose! I won’t do it again."

Tang Fangzhou scrambled to his feet with all his might, then, ignoring his injuries, knelt on the ground trembling and began to kowtow to Tang Yi.

His forehead banged against the floor. THUD, THUD, THUD.

’This is my last resort: begging for mercy. If I just beg, maybe Tang Yi won’t kill me.’

Seeing Tang Fangzhou act so spinelessly, the crowd was filled with contempt. Putting aside his dirty sneak attack, he had dared to sign a death waiver, yet now he was afraid to die after losing. What a coward.

"Spar... Spare me, Tang Yi. If you spare me, we can wipe the slate clean of all our past grievances," Tang Fangzhou said in a final, desperate struggle.

How could Tang Yi possibly spare him?

Tang Yi was now burning with rage. His decision to kill Tang Fangzhou was set. Not even the Heavenly King himself could save Tang Fangzhou now!

"Tang Fangzhou, since you tried to kill me with a sneak attack on this stage, I have no reason to hold back. Go and meet King Yama!" Ignoring Tang Fangzhou’s pleas, Tang Yi flipped his hand, and a Gale Blade appeared in his palm.

"No, no, no!! Don’t!" Seeing the Gale Blade, Tang Fangzhou’s eyes widened in horror, and his body scrambled backward in terror.

"Die!" Tang Yi flicked his wrist, and the Gale Blade flew toward Tang Fangzhou.

"Stay your hand!"

"You mustn’t!"

"Tang Yi, you dare kill my brother!"

At that moment, several voices from below the stage cried out to stop him, but it was already too late.

The Wind Blade sliced toward Tang Fangzhou at extreme speed. With a soft ’thwump,’ Tang Fangzhou’s head flew into the air. His headless body slowly toppled over, and blood splattered across the ground.
