I Break through Crazily

Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Making a Choice

That’s right. The one who saved the life of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps member and sent Zhao Wu flying with a single palm strike was none other than Tang Yi.

If Zhao Wu’s palm strike was that powerful, then Tang Yi’s just now possessed a demonic and divine might, something human strength simply could not Resist.

Zhao Wu, a Two-star Battle Grandmaster, was sent flying by this palm strike without the slightest ability to offer Resistance. From the looks of it, he was breathing out more than in, not far from death.

In other words, Tang Yi had just used a single palm strike to kill a Two-star Battle Grandmaster!

Of course, this was mostly because it was a sneak attack, and he hadn’t held back with the strike at all, which was why he succeeded in one blow!

At that moment, Zhao Wu finally breathed his last. His eyes rolled back, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing Two-star Battle Grandmaster Zhao Wu. You have obtained 110,000 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Player on leveling up. Current Level: Seven-star Battle Grandmaster."

Tang Yi, who had been just a little bit of Experience away from leveling up, finally did so thanks to the Experience from Zhao Wu!

A refreshing sensation that thrilled him to his soul washed over him. Tang Yi felt his Power had more than doubled!

Now, Tang Yi felt he could kill trash like Li Kuang and Zhao Wu with a single palm strike. Only their leader, Zhangg Yuxi, was worthy of a fight.

"Who are you?!"

Zhangg Yuxi glanced at Zhao Wu’s corpse, then turned to Tang Yi and asked in a low voice.

His tone carried a great deal of confusion, as well as intense anger.

The young man before him had actually killed his subordinate, Zhao Wu, with a single palm strike. As the leader, Zhangg Yuxi’s expression was incredibly grim.

What confused him was how this young man, who was clearly not emitting any aura and had been standing far away just a moment ago, had moved over so quickly to kill Zhao Wu.

This sudden variable gave Zhangg Yuxi a bad feeling. What should have been a surefire ’hunt’ had been disrupted by a young man who appeared out of nowhere.

It all happened too fast. Not only had Zhangg Yuxi failed to see clearly, but no one else present had managed to see how Tang Yi did it either.

The only thing they saw was Tang Yi appearing in front of the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps member, then throwing a palm strike that met Zhao Wu’s.

As a result, Zhao Wu was sent flying, spewing blood.

’In other words, this young man is even stronger than Zhao Wu?’

’Impossible!’

’How old is he?’

’Zhao Wu was a Battle Grandmaster. Could a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid actually possess the strength to match a Battle Grandmaster?’

This was simply astonishing.

Liuu Tian’s mouth hung slightly open as she gazed at Tang Yi’s back. It wasn’t a broad back, but it gave her an immense sense of security.

She hadn’t been mistaken. Her feelings were right. This young man truly was their savior, and he really did possess incredible strength.

"My name is Tang Yi. I’m just a passerby. You’re the ones who dragged me into this conflict," Tang Yi replied calmly.

If Li Kuang hadn’t rushed at him and attacked him earlier, he wouldn’t have bothered with this mess.

Who was good and who was evil had nothing to do with him. He only cared about who he could kill and who he couldn’t.

’Those he could kill were all Experience Value!’

"A passerby?" Zhangg Yuxi frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought.

Just then, Li Kuang walked over and whispered in Zhangg Yuxi’s ear, "He is a passerby, but he’s extremely strange. When I was luring the prey here, he was just standing there. I tested him just now, and his strength is unfathomable. And Brother Zhangg, look, there’s a huge pile of Demon Beast corpses over there..."

"He dares to come to the Wind Moon Forest in the middle of the night, and everything about him is strange. This person will be difficult to deal with."

Li Kuang’s expression was incredibly cautious. Since the young man could kill Zhao Wu with a single palm strike, he knew he absolutely couldn’t take one of his palm strikes either.

He was now glad that he hadn’t fought the young man to the death before Zhangg Yuxi and the others arrived.

If he had kept pestering the young man just now... the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Is that so?" This put Zhangg Yuxi in a difficult position. The young man’s strength forced him to be cautious.

After thinking for a few full minutes, Zhangg Yuxi finally said to Tang Yi, "Your name is Tang Yi? Hmm. Perhaps my subordinates offended you earlier. On their behalf, I offer you my apologies."

As he spoke, Zhangg Yuxi gave Tang Yi a respectful bow and continued, "As they say, ’we don’t get to know each other without a fight.’ I trust that Young Master Tang is not a petty person. Let’s consider our past grievances settled. Right now, this is a grudge between our Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps and the Nine Cities Mercenary Corps. I hope Young Master Tang won’t interfere. Otherwise..."

This was a classic case of ’courtesy before force.’ It couldn’t be said that Zhangg Yuxi handled it poorly. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Tang Yi; he just hoped Tang Yi would know when to back down, allowing their ’hunt’ to proceed more smoothly.

Leaving Tang Yi alive, a witness, would expose the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ actions, but who would believe him?

Who would believe the words of a mere boy?

Therefore, it was better to let Tang Yi go and secure their prey with near-certainty. That was the way to maximize their gains.

As for Zhao Wu, he was just a Battle Grandmaster, an outer member of the Mercenary Corps. If he was dead, he was dead.

"Otherwise what?" Tang Yi asked, his eyes wide as if filled with a great thirst for knowledge.

"Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of our Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. And those who oppose us do not meet a good end!" Zhangg Yuxi replied in a low voice.

"Oh? That’s a pretty big accusation. I’m a little scared," Tang Yi said, feigning a look of fear. Then he rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "But what if I insist on getting involved?"

"Then we can only fight. Either you die, or we do!" Zhangg Yuxi said coldly. His tone was utterly ruthless. From Tang Yi’s words, it seemed he had no intention of backing down!

"Young Master Tang, I advise you to leave quickly. If you provoke our Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, there will be consequences," Li Kuang also chimed in to persuade him.

"So he’s choosing the hard way! Hmph!"

"Brother Zhangg, I’m willing to go teach that brat a lesson! I’ll make him understand who he can afford to provoke and who he can’t!"

"That’s right, Brother Zhangg! Don’t let him get away! He’s the one who killed Zhao Wu!"

The Martial Artists in gray robes beside Zhangg Yuxi also spoke up, glaring at Tang Yi with murderous intent in their eyes. They all felt that Tang Yi was being far too arrogant.

’So what if he killed Zhao Wu with one palm strike and has some skill? There are five Battle Grandmasters here. Are we supposed to be afraid of him?’

"Hearing you all say that makes me certain I have to get involved!" Tang Yi chuckled, a smug and punchable look on his face.

Liuu Tian’s eyes lit up. She never expected Tang Yi would be willing to oppose the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps for their sake. Such courage was truly admirable.

However, a trace of worry also appeared on her face. Including Li Kuang, the enemy had five Martial Artists with the strength of Battle Grandmasters. Could this young man named Tang Yi handle them?

"It seems you’ve made your choice?" Zhangg Yuxi’s eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura radiated from his body. It was as if he wasn’t a human at this moment, but a terrifyingly powerful Demon Beast disguised in human skin.
