I Break through Crazily

This Cat Demon was different from the others. Its body was twice as large, and it was covered in a blood-red glow. The sharp claws on its limbs were an oily green, as if coated in something, and their tips gleamed with a cold light.

Seeing Tang Yi running toward it, its pair of crimson eyes stared unblinkingly at him, creating an utterly terrifying sight.

He cast a Celestial Eye Technique on it.

Name: Poisonous Cat King

Level: 37 (Level 4 Demon Beast)

Description: A creature rumored to have escaped from the Land of Ruins. It later propagated and evolved in the Wind Moon Forest, eventually becoming a King. Its speed is like lightning, and its claws are coated in a highly poisonous substance. Within a certain range, it can also spray a poisonous mist. Contact is fatal.

Assessment: High Threat

Seeing the information fed back by the Celestial Eye Technique, Tang Yi thought to himself, ’This must be the boss of these Cat Demons, a Commander Level Demon Beast. It’s a Level 4 Demon Beast, too. Its strength is already comparable to a human Battle Spirit Powerhouse.’

However, Tang Yi had no intention of confronting it head-on. Against such a powerful boss, the slightest mistake could mean getting killed without even knowing how it happened.

He had Phantom Step. Even if the Poisonous Cat King’s speed was as fast as lightning, he was confident he could escape from its claws.

So, after seeing the Poisonous Cat King and its subordinate Bloodthirsty Cat Demons, Tang Yi followed his original plan, threw a rock, and then quickly fled.

As expected, the Poisonous Cat King took the bait and chased after him aggressively.

In this territory, the Poisonous Cat King was the absolute king. How could it tolerate someone provoking it in its own domain?

Therefore, the human who had intruded upon its territory had thoroughly aroused its fury.

With the Poisonous Cat King joining the pursuing army, more and more Bloodthirsty Cat Demons appeared in the territory. Even without Tang Yi trying to attract them, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demons would relentlessly chase after him.

It had to be said that Tang Yi’s monster-luring plan was very effective, and also extremely shameless. Having consumed several Speed Pills and possessing an Earth-level Stepping Technique like Phantom Step, even Demon Beasts renowned for their speed couldn’t catch him.

Moreover, although Tang Yi’s cultivation was only at the Battle Grandmaster level, not even a Battle Spirit Powerhouse possessed his skill for luring monsters, let alone his guts!

Most importantly, who would do something as dangerous as attracting so many Demon Beasts without some absolute benefit in it for them?

On the entire Saint Martial Continent, only Tang Yi would do such a thing. After all, the more Demon Beasts there were, the more he could kill. The more he killed, the more Experience Value he would gain, and the stronger his power would become.

As time went on, more and more Cat Demons chased after Tang Yi. And perhaps because of the Poisonous Cat King, what was once a journey through the Wind Moon Forest where he would only occasionally encounter a few Demon Beasts had changed. Now, with every step Tang Yi took, he could see hordes of Cat Demons covering the landscape, all joining the pursuing army.

Tang Yi wondered, ’Has my hatred level really reached this point?’

’Did I trigger the hatred of an entire race?’

’That’s impossible, right?’

’Aside from throwing a few rocks a few minutes ago to attract some groups of Bloodthirsty Cat Demons and then luring out the Poisonous Cat King, I haven’t done anything outrageous, have I?’

The Bloodthirsty Cat Demons that appeared afterward didn’t even need to be attracted. They all stared with their crimson eyes, chasing him in massive droves, eager to tear him to pieces.

This taunt effect was dozens of times stronger than the first time!

In just over an hour, the number of Cat Demons behind him had reached the four-digit mark. Led by the Poisonous Cat King, they moved in a neat, uniform phalanx formation as they chased Tang Yi, without any chaos despite their large numbers!

It was a world of difference from the first time!

The first time, because of the large numbers and mixed species, many of them had crashed into each other during the chase. Some of the Demon Beasts that considered themselves powerful even started fighting each other just because their claws brushed while running.

’It looks like this is all because of the Poisonous Cat King!’

Tang Yi thought to himself. While fleeing, he turned his head and flashed a knowing smile at the Poisonous Cat King.

’With this Poisonous Cat King, things are twice as easy with half the effort, am I right?’

’I don’t even need to attract them myself anymore!’

And because of the Poisonous Cat King’s command, all the Bloodthirsty Cat Demons were arranged neatly. They were packed tightly—not too crowded, yet not too sparse—just like an army.

This was exactly what Tang Yi wanted!

’The more tightly packed they are, the more Demon Beasts my Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash can kill in one go!’

As a King, the Poisonous Cat King had developed a sliver of intelligence, but it wasn’t high. It couldn’t discern that the purpose of Tang Yi’s actions was to gather them together for a convenient slaughter, nor could it understand the smile Tang Yi flashed it as he turned his head.

Seeing the human’s smile, the Poisonous Cat King felt a primal disgust. It believed its dignity had been provoked—that this human was mocking them!

”SCREEE!!”

The Poisonous Cat King tilted its head back and let out a sharp shriek. Then, its light red eyes turned a deep crimson, and its speed increased even more, seemingly in extreme anger.

The Bloodthirsty Cat Demons it was leading also shrieked in unison, their eyes emitting rays of blood-red light as they followed closely behind the Poisonous Cat King.

The night was already pitch-black. If Tang Yi weren’t using his Celestial Eye Technique to observe, all he would see were several thousand glowing red eyes moving rapidly behind him, their light shining toward him as if they were all staring right at him!

The scene, the feeling—it was terrifying enough just to imagine, let alone witness firsthand.

’Still not enough!’

Tang Yi glanced behind him. The number of Cat Demons was terrifying, already surpassing the amount he had attracted the first time.

However, because of their density and formation, they only occupied a very small area, one that had not yet reached the limit of what Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash could cover.

’Still not enough!’

Tang Yi ran for a while longer. The number of Bloodthirsty Cat Demons increased by several hundred more, but it still wasn’t enough.

Only after running a full circle around the area where the Cat Demons were gathered did Tang Yi finally stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

’Now’s the time!’

Immediately after, Tang Yi’s gaze sharpened, becoming incredibly piercing. With a flick of his hand, he took out the Shadow Remnant Sword he had just obtained.

The reason he took out this sword was that Tang Yi wanted to take this opportunity to conduct an experiment.

Whenever he used Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash, he had to make a gripping motion with his empty hand, as if he were holding some kind of weapon.

This led Tang Yi to guess, ’Does this Finishing Move originally require a weapon?’

’If I use a weapon, will its power reach a whole new level?’

Of course, he couldn’t know for sure yet. Only by testing it would he find out.

Gripping the Shadow Remnant Sword, Tang Yi’s figure moved, and he leaped into the air.

Leaping with such a heavy giant sword was actually quite difficult. If Tang Yi hadn’t reached the level of a Nine-star Battle Grandmaster, and if he hadn’t taken Power Pills, he might have crashed heavily to the ground the moment he jumped. At that point, forget using any skills; he’d be lucky not to be killed by the fall.

Of course, for the current Tang Yi, this was no great difficulty. In his hands, the giant sword weighing hundreds of pounds felt just a little heavy, that was all.

”Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!”

As Tang Yi fell from the sky, he faced the direction of the Cat Demons and, gripping the Shadow Remnant Sword, slammed it down with immense force.
