I Break through Crazily

In less than an instant, the once bustling Yangsha Ancient Dao fell silent. A dozen or so men had vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing behind but scattered ashes on the ground.

Feng Hua gritted his teeth, his eyes threatening to crack with rage. He was in a sorry state himself. Although he hadn’t been incinerated by the Purple Fire, his body was covered in purple patches, a testament to the fire’s cruel torment.

Feng Hua was considered lucky. If he hadn’t possessed the Cultivation of a Battle King, he might have suffered the same fate as his men—incinerated by the Purple Fire and erased from existence.

"You... How is that possible! What kind of technique was that?!"

Now, the look Feng Hua gave Tang Yi was no longer merely one of gravity. It was one of fear—absolute terror.

That tiny wisp of purple flame in Tang Yi’s hand was like Hellfire wielded by the Death God, reaping their lives with horrifying efficiency.

"It’s just a type of flame. I didn’t expect it to be this powerful either."

Tang Yi had already retracted the flame into his palm. He gazed at the wisp of the Three Thousand Flame Flames with a satisfied smile.

This was his first time using the Exotic Fire against enemies, and the results were shockingly terrifying.

Except for Feng Hua, who was at the Battle King Level and could use his Combat Energy to shield himself from the Exotic Fire, every other Martial Artist had perished on the spot, incapable of even the slightest resistance.

"A flame?"

Feng Hua’s gaze wavered, and he bowed his head in contemplation.

’He knew that the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ operation had failed. He’d never imagined Tang Yi possessed such a terrifying flame technique.’

’As long as he summons that flame, who can get near him? Tang Yi is basically invincible.’

The thought of retreat began to take root in Feng Hua’s mind. ’Even if I face severe punishment for escaping, saving my life is what matters most. Who knows if Tang Yi has other, even more miraculous techniques to kill me with?’

’This matter is already beyond my ability to handle alone. And Tang Yi’s secret... it’s not something I can monopolize. He must have had some unbelievable stroke of luck; otherwise, there’s no way he could be this formidable and possess such powerful techniques.’

’I’ll report this to the leadership of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. Maybe if they’re happy with the information, they won’t just forgo punishment—they might even give me a generous reward.’

’As for Round Dance, who’s still waiting for Tang Yi in Fengyue City...’

’He can just pray for his own good fortune!’

Having thought this through, Feng Hua shot Tang Yi a look. Without another word, he spun on his heel and fled for his life, moving at the fastest speed he could muster.

’Hm? He’s running away?’

Tang Yi was stunned by Feng Hua’s move. ’I can’t believe a Battle King like him would just turn tail and run without a single word. Does he have no dignity as a powerhouse at all?’

Tang Yi found it utterly contemptible!

However, Tang Yi had no intention of letting Feng Hua get away. Otherwise, who knew what kind of experts he might bring back for revenge?

Although Tang Yi wasn’t afraid of revenge, it was difficult to guard against a hidden threat. It was best to eliminate the problem at its source.

Tang Yi turned to look at Little Tiger and issued a command, "Little Tiger, this is your first battle as my partner. See that man up ahead? Go and bite his damn head off for me."

Little Tiger whimpered twice upon hearing the command and nodded in agreement. Then, scrambling on its short legs, it shot forward with a WHOOSH, chasing after Feng Hua. It appeared to be quite obedient.

Of course, it didn’t dare to be disobedient!

’Tang Yi is simply a devil!’

The Purple Fire moments ago hadn’t just frightened Feng Hua; Little Tiger had been profoundly shaken as well. ’If Tang Yi used that flame on me,’ it wondered, ’could I get away by relying on my superior speed?’

’The answer was... no.’

’Therefore, I have to obey Tang Yi’s words. I can’t give him any excuse to roast me into a tiger steak.’

’Besides that, there was another reason for my obedience... I want to get a reward from Tang Yi!’

Little Tiger was a Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger. Though only a cub, it already had the strength of the Battle King Level. It was also a Demon Beast that specialized in speed. Its short legs were irrelevant; its swiftness was what counted. If not for its speed, it never would have escaped from the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird.

WHOOSH!

Little Tiger caught up to Feng Hua in an instant, and with remarkable ease. Even though Feng Hua was a Battle King, his speed was no match for Little Tiger’s.

"AH!"

"What is this Demon Beast?!"

After catching up, Little Tiger opened its deceptively small mouth and lunged, sinking its teeth into Feng Hua. It ripped a chunk of flesh straight from his arm, making Feng Hua shriek in agony, his face pale with terror.

Feng Hua couldn’t believe it. A mere ’pet’—or what looked like one—at Tang Yi’s side was this formidable. ’I’m a Battle King!’ he thought, horrified. ’And this pet can keep up with my speed? This is shocking!’

’I originally thought that with my speed as a Battle King, I’d at least be able to escape, even if I couldn’t defeat Tang Yi and his flame shield.’

But that hope was shattered in an instant. The fact that a cute little pet of Tang Yi’s could overtake him was a crushing blow.

Infuriated, Feng Hua launched a palm strike, trying to kill Little Tiger. But with a WHOOSH, the cub darted aside in a flash, effortlessly evading the blow.

"It actually has the strength of the Battle King Level!"

Only now did Feng Hua realize that this skinny Demon Beast wasn’t just incredibly fast—it also had the power of the Battle King Level!

How is that possible!

All of Feng Hua’s follow-up attacks were dodged by Little Tiger; not one of them managed to land.

It was a well-known fact on the Saint Martial Continent that a Level 5 Demon Beast could completely dominate a human of an equivalent level. Of course, Tang Yi, an anomaly with his Battle God System, didn’t really fall into the category of ’human.’

Therefore, at this moment, Feng Hua stood no chance against Little Tiger!

"AHHH!"

Only a few moments after being caught, Feng Hua had already been bitten several more times by Little Tiger. Chunks of his flesh were ripped away, and blood gushed from his wounds.

Feng Hua was now a gruesome figure drenched in blood. Between the charred black patches from the fire, the rest of his body was a shocking canvas of crimson—a truly bloody and terrifying sight.

Most importantly, Feng Hua was completely pinned down by Little Tiger!

If not for Little Tiger’s youth and its inexperience in battling humans, Feng Hua wouldn’t have just been entangled—he might have been killed in an instant.

The power of a Level 8 Demon Beast’s offspring was nothing to scoff at!

’This can’t go on.’

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Feng Hua knew he’d be bitten to death if this kept up. He stopped holding back, suddenly unleashing an astonishing burst of power to break away. Once he’d put some distance between himself and Little Tiger, he shot up into the air.

Battle King Powerhouses had the ability to fly.

He was making his escape through the air!

Little Tiger was knocked back, and by the time it recovered, Feng Hua was already airborne.

No matter how high Little Tiger leaped or how frantically it swiped its claws, it couldn’t reach Feng Hua in the air.

"Meeeow~"

Little Tiger’s face scrunched up and its mouth formed a pout. It could only look back at Tang Yi, its expression pleading for help.
