He led the monsters on another chase through the Wind Moon Forest.
Tang Yi glanced back and estimated that the number of Demon Beasts behind him had reached the thousands.
There were countless Level 1 Monsters, hundreds of Level 2 Monsters, dozens of Level 3 Monsters, and several mini-bosses.
He smiled faintly. ’The great art of the taunt really is universal,’ he thought.
Tang Yi had once played a game called League of Legends, and in it, there was a champion named ’Teemo’.
This Teemo was the undisputed king of being infuriating.
There was a famous saying in the game: "The game can be lost, but Teemo must die." This just went to show the level of hatred players had for this champion.
’The Demon Beasts behind me must see me as the Teemo of this Otherworld,’ he mused.
As the number of monsters grew, so did the pressure on Tang Yi. Even though he pushed his Body Technique to its absolute limit, he was occasionally hit by a sneak attack and would suffer minor injuries.
From time to time, powerful monsters would block his path. If it weren’t for his exquisite Phantom Step and the numerous Agility Pills he’d consumed, he would have been trapped and swarmed long ago.
On several occasions, Tang Yi narrowly dodged what would have been a killing blow.
If Tang Yi had been an ordinary Martial Artist, he would have died countless times by now.
Then again, what ordinary Martial Artist would dare to attract such a massive horde of Demon Beasts in the first place? That would be suicide.
Seeing that he was at his limit and had gathered just about enough monsters, Tang Yi led the horde to a relatively open area and stopped.
He stood ramrod straight, an arrogant posture. As he watched the Demon Beasts charge toward him like a thundering army, he felt not a shred of fear. It was as if he wasn’t facing a terrifying, bloodthirsty horde, but a flock of meek sheep ready for slaughter.
He clenched his fists and waited for the perfect moment. When the monsters had swarmed to within ten meters of him, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
It was a triumphant smile, his face filled with uncontainable excitement.
With a great leap, he vaulted into the air and dove toward the swarm of Demon Beasts.
"Now’s the time!"
"Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The air temperature instantly skyrocketed. A searing heatwave surged outwards as the earth split apart, and intense tremors echoed throughout the Wind Moon Forest.
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi! Killed a Level 1 Demon Beast, the Gale Wolf. Received: 50 Experience Value, 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi! Killed a Second-level Demon Beast, the Gale Wolf King. Received: 10,000 Experience Value, 0 Battle God Value."

"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi! Killed a Third-level Demon Beast, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros. Received: 30,000 Experience Value, 0 Battle God Value."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi for killing..."
...
"Ding! Congratulations, Player! For your 500-kill streak, you have received ten each of: Power Pills, Agility Pills, Constitution Pills, and Intelligence Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player! For your 1,000-kill streak, you have received ten each of: Power Pills, Agility Pills, Constitution Pills, and Intelligence Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations, Player! For your 2,000-kill streak, you have received ten each of: Power Pills, Agility Pills, Constitution Pills, and Intelligence Pills."
"..."
"Congratulations Player Tang Yi, you have leveled up! Reached Level 20, promoted to Battle Grandmaster."
"Congratulations Player Tang Yi, you have leveled up! Current Rank: One-star Battle Grandmaster."
"Congratulations Player Tang Yi, you have leveled up! Current Rank: Two-star Battle Grandmaster."
...
"Congratulations Player Tang Yi, you have leveled up! Current Rank: Five-star Battle Grandmaster."
The notification chimes in his mind rang nonstop. Golden rings of light pulsed under his feet as a blissful sensation washed over his body again and again. At this moment, Tang Yi felt incredible. His entire being surged with power.
He clenched his fist. Judging by the immense power flowing through it, Tang Yi felt his strength had increased by dozens of times, if not more!
If Tang Fangzhou were here right now, Tang Yi was confident he could crush him into paste with just two fingers, without even using a single Martial Technique!
Even the likes of Tang Mingtian or the Seventh Elder would be no match for him now!
He consumed all the Attribute Pills he had obtained—several hundred of them in total. After swallowing them, the feeling of power intensified even further. His cells buzzed with energy, and his entire body felt like a volcano about to erupt.
He reached out and gave a nearby tree, as thick as a large bowl, a light flick, using no Cultivation Technique, only the raw power of his body.
BOOM!
With a tremendous CRACK, the bowl-thick tree snapped in two and came crashing down.
"This... So strong!"
Even Tang Yi himself was taken aback. He knew he had gotten stronger, but he never imagined he’d become *this* powerful.
The Bonus to Tang Yi’s body from the Attribute Pills, combined with his strength as a Battle Grandmaster, had reached an unimaginable level.
’If a Battle Grandmaster is already this powerful, what will happen if I keep leveling up...?’
Tang Yi dared not even imagine it.
AWOOO!
A silver flash! The sound of something slicing through the air followed.
It was a Gale Wolf King—one that had managed to survive.
Seeing Tang Yi staring into space, it launched a sneak attack.
Tang Yi had kited thousands of Demon Beasts, and while his Finishing Move was formidable, its range was limited. Plenty of monsters had survived, having not been instantly killed by the Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash.
"Hmph."
Tang Yi saw the silver light homing in on his neck with extreme speed. He let out a cold snort, utterly disdainful.
’If I still had my old strength, I would’ve had to dodge this,’ he thought. ’But I’m not who I was before. How could a measly Gale Wolf King possibly hurt me now?’
The Gale Wolf King was fast, but Tang Yi’s hand was faster!
As the Gale Wolf King lunged through the air, his fingers shot out and pressed against its head. He gave it a light flick.
BOOM!
The immense force made the Gale Wolf King’s head explode. Its body flew backward as brains and blood splattered everywhere.
The same Gale Wolf King that had once caused him so much trouble was now killed on the spot with a single flick, turning into nothing more than Experience Value for Tang Yi.
ROAR!
Tang Yi’s body was now stronger than a Demon Beast’s. He seemed more monstrous than the monsters themselves. With a ferocious roar, he unleashed the frenzied power that threatened to burst from within him.
Then, glancing at the surviving Demon Beasts that had been lured over, he charged toward them.
"Mountain Collapse!"
From ten meters out, Tang Yi jumped, soaring forward before slamming his elbow into the ground at the center of the monster pack.
KABOOM!
A massive crater appeared in the ground. A powerful shockwave blasted everything away from it. In the area surrounding the crater, all the Demon Beasts were blown to pieces by the force of the impact.
Blood, shredded flesh, and shattered bones littered the ground.
Now, after two powerful attacks, the area dozens of meters around Tang Yi was a scene of utter devastation.
There were countless monster corpses, a thick layer of charred ash covered everything, the ground was stained red with blood, and black smoke billowed endlessly into the sky.
The scene was just like Hell.
