Chapter 160 - 159: Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash Awes the Entire Arena
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Battle King Warrior, gaining 355,554 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
A notification sound rang in Tang Yi’s mind. In the sky, the approaching Battle King Warrior was reduced to a pile of mangled remains, killed on the spot. His corpse plummeted from the sky.
And just like that, a Battle King Powerhouse was dead.
The Battle King Warrior probably never imagined, not even in his final moments, that the candidate standing on the gangplank below possessed such terrifying power.
An uproar swept through the crowd!
GASP!
The powerhouses from the West Mansion and the candidates inside the Warship erupted into a clamor, punctuated by sharp gasps of shock. They were clearly terrified.
They had been watching Tang Yi the whole time, so they had a crystal-clear view of him casually flicking out three Qi Blade-like projectiles to kill the flying Battle King Warrior in the sky.
That was a Battle King! A Battle King who could fly, one with immense power!
This was a Battle King who could single-handedly defeat countless Battle Spirit Martial Artists—a being who could crush candidates like them as easily as ants!
To think he was killed just like that!
The sight was absolutely staggering.
Everyone stared at Tang Yi, dumbfounded and speechless.
And so, the question arose...
For those who didn’t know Tang Yi, the question remained the same: Who was this candidate?
And for those who knew him, the question was also the same: Just how powerful was Tang Yi? What were his limits?
It was one thing for Tang Yi to casually slaughter the Battle Spirit-level Masked Martial Artists as if he were dicing vegetables. But to now kill even a Battle King Powerhouse with the same ease, as if it took no effort at all... that was simply not something an ordinary candidate could do!
So, whether they knew Tang Yi or not, everyone shared a single, unspoken thought...
’Is this a fucking dream?’
Tang Yi, however, paid no mind to everyone’s astonishment. After killing a Battle King Powerhouse and gaining a massive amount of Experience Value, he had gotten a taste for it. He seemed almost possessed as he looked up, his gaze fiery, staring at the Battle King Powerhouses from the Skeleton Warship in the sky. His face was a mask of pure excitement.
That’s right. He had set his sights on the Battle King Powerhouses in the sky.
’They’re... all walking Experience Value! A massive amount of it!’
’Who said this was a crisis?’
In Tang Yi’s eyes, this was nothing more than an opportunity to level up.
’All these enemies will die by my hand and turn into my Experience Value!’
’One kill is over three hundred thousand experience. Ten kills would be three million. Thirty-something more and I can level up again!’
’Kill, kill, kill!’
The more Tang Yi thought about it, the more tempted he became. His gaze sharpened, and he made up his mind. He would join the battle in the sky and hunt down the Battle King Powerhouses!
However, before that, he had to deal with the Masked Martial Artists on the gangplank first. Otherwise, the moment he left, the West Mansion would be at a disadvantage against such a large number of them. The candidates might be hunted down by the ferocious Masked Martial Artists and killed.
He could accept others dying, but if Tang Piaomiao, Tang Shu, Tang Baijie, Wang Bi’Er, or Mu Xianling were to die... that was something Tang Yi could not tolerate.
’Therefore, all the Masked Martial Artists on the other side of the gangplank have to die first. Only then can I fly up to the sky without worry and fight the Battle King Powerhouses!’
Tang Yi turned his head and glanced at the other side of the gangplank. Over by the Skeleton Warship, there were over a hundred Masked Martial Artists. To deal with so many people at once, there was only one way...
Tightly gripping the Shadow Remnant Sword, Tang Yi’s aura exploded outward. He leaped into the air and brought the Shadow Remnant Sword crashing down toward the ground.
’That’s right. To deal with this many people, I can only use my Finishing Move: Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!’
"All of you, die!"
"Finishing Move, Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!"
RUMBLE!
Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash: Summons a Blood and Qi Sword and smashes it into the ground, creating a large-area shockwave to attack enemies. Additionally, the scorching blood-magma that erupts from the ground inflicts burning damage. Attack Range: 10x10. (Skill Power = Player’s Power x2).
Even though they weren’t on solid ground, the moment Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash was activated, its Special Effects were the same, and its power was just as incomparably immense.
In the 10x10 area in front of Tang Yi, countless gouts of scorching magma erupted—from the deck, from the gangplank, and even out of thin air, instantly engulfing the innumerable Masked Martial Artists.
Gales howled and shockwaves surged. Jets of flame swept back and forth, turning the entire Space into a sea of fire. A deafening RUMBLE filled the air, as if the world were ending.
It was a terrifying, apocalyptic scene.
The temperature in the air reached an extreme. Nearby Martial Artists felt a searing pain, as if their very skin was being scorched, and the acrid smell of burning flesh began to spread.
Even the West Mansion powerhouses behind Tang Yi were forced to retreat back into the Warship by the powerful shockwaves and scorching heat.
If even the West Mansion powerhouses far behind felt this, the fate of the Masked Martial Artists who bore the brunt of the attack was too ghastly to imagine.
To describe the state of the Masked Martial Artists at that moment, you only needed four words...
Reduced to flying ash!
Just a moment ago, there had been at least a hundred Masked Martial Artists standing on and across the gangplank, a densely packed, bobbing sea of heads. But after this one strike from Tang Yi, after the flames swept through, the area was instantly empty. Not a single figure remained.
All that remained were motes of black ash, drifting in the air, becoming one with the world.
Forget about survivors; not a single trace of flesh or a sliver of bone could be found!
However, the power of the Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash didn’t stop there.
The Void Warship and the enemy’s Skeleton Warship were both incredible treasures, possessing immense Defense Power. Even a full-on attack from a Battle King Powerhouse couldn’t damage them in the slightest.
And yet, under the impact of Tang Yi’s Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash, the hulls of both Warships were scorched black. A crack over a meter long appeared on the outer hull of both the West Mansion’s Void Warship and the Heaven-Devouring Thieves’ Skeleton Warship. The appearances of the two vessels were no longer perfect.
As for the gangplank, it had been snapped by the powerful impact and incinerated by the flames, vanishing from the space between the two Warships.
In other words, even if there were still Martial Artists inside the Skeleton Warship, unless they were a Battle King or could fly, they would no longer be able to cross over to the Void Warship!
WHOOSH!
GASP!
This time, the shock Tang Yi delivered to the West Mansion powerhouses and the candidates was even more intense. A torrent of gasps echoed through the crowd. Everyone’s jaws hung open, their eyes glazed over as if they had been struck dumb.
Over a hundred of them! A full hundred Masked Martial Artists! And with a single strike from Tang Yi, they had vanished without a trace!
’Just what kind of Martial Technique did Tang Yi use?’
