I Break through Crazily

”Heh heh. You dare try to escape from me? You must be tired of living. Did you really think a petty trick like this would be enough to stop me?”

When he saw Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming immediately split up and flee after hearing his question, Tang Yi sneered. This only confirmed his suspicions. ’There’s something wrong with these two! Something very wrong!’

’Posing as candidates to enter the West Mansion... they must have some ulterior motive!’

With this in mind, there was no way Tang Yi was going to let them get away.

At that moment, Tang Yi extended two fingers and pointed them at Shao Yushan.

’Since the cunning one won’t talk... heh, then there’s no need for him to talk ever again!’

”Six Yang Rejuvenation Finger!”

WHOOSH!

A light flashed from Tang Yi’s fingertips, forming a dazzling Little Sun. As he pointed, six brilliant suns pulsed in unison, shooting out terrifying rays of light.

Seeing the rays of light shooting toward him, Shao Yushan raised his hands, still trying to resist.

But how could a Martial Technique of the Earth Tier, Upper Grade—especially one used by a Six-star Battle King—be so easy to resist? How could a mere One-star Battle King possibly block it?

Of course, he couldn’t!

So...

THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!

Shao Yushan hadn’t gotten far before six rays of light struck him simultaneously, accompanied by the sound of objects piercing flesh.

Two of the six rays pierced Shao Yushan’s brow, two pierced his throat, and two pierced his heart! His eyes widened in disbelief as he fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut, plummeting toward the forest below.

Without even a glance at Shao Yushan, Tang Yi’s figure flickered and he shot off in pursuit of Jiao Zhiming.

Of course, this wasn’t because Tang Yi was overconfident, nor did he intend to let Shao Yushan go. It was because with injuries like those, it would be a miracle if he survived.

Besides...

Tang Yi had also received a notification in his mind that he had gained Experience Value. The notification proved that Shao Yushan was well and truly dead.

That was why Tang Yi could confidently pursue Jiao Zhiming alone.

Meanwhile, Jiao Zhiming was fleeing for his life. Hearing several strange sounds from behind, he glanced back curiously and was instantly met with a sight that filled him with absolute horror.

He saw his good partner, his brother Shao Yushan whom he had known for several years, killed by Tang Yi with some kind of special Martial Technique, his body plummeting from the sky.

Tang Yi had merely pointed a finger, and Shao Yushan’s body was pierced through, blood spraying everywhere. In an instant, he was lifeless!

He was dead!

Seeing this, Jiao Zhiming was terrified. He turned and fled even more desperately, using every last ounce of his strength.

No one can remain calm in the face of death.

Even a Battle King like Shao Yushan had been killed instantly without being able to put up any resistance. He would be no exception!

Jiao Zhiming knew the candidate from the North District was strong, very strong, but he never imagined he’d be *this* strong. A Battle King insta-killed without being able to block a single move?

’This is too terrifying!’

Jiao Zhiming flew with all his might, pushing himself to the limit. He truly didn’t want to fall into the hands of that terrifying North District candidate, and he certainly didn’t want to die.

But no matter how desperately he fled, how could he possibly out-fly Tang Yi, who was countless times more powerful than him?

He didn’t get far before Tang Yi caught up to him.

It was laughable. Jiao Zhiming and Shao Yushan had actually thought they could split up and escape, assuming Tang Yi couldn’t chase them both and one would surely get away. They had no idea that for Tang Yi, killing them didn’t even require a chase. He just had to lift a finger!

How simple it was to kill someone...

”Run. Why don’t you keep running!” Tang Yi sneered contemptuously after catching up to Jiao Zhiming.

”N-No! Don’t kill me!”

Seeing Tang Yi in front of him, Jiao Zhiming trembled in fear. He wanted to say something, to beg for his life, but just then, Tang Yi closed in, grabbed him by the neck, and dragged him rapidly toward the ground.

After they landed, Tang Yi flung Jiao Zhiming to the ground.

THUD!

Jiao Zhiming rolled several times on the ground in a pathetic display. But at this moment, he couldn’t care less about his sorry state. He immediately scrambled up from the ground, fell to his knees before Tang Yi, and begged loudly, ”Don’t kill me! I’m begging you, don’t kill me! I’ll do anything you want!”

”Scared now? Still think you can pull any more tricks?” Tang Yi laughed contemptuously.

”I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!” Jiao Zhiming said at once.

After seeing Shao Yushan’s gruesome death, how could Jiao Zhiming possibly dare to try anything else? He was scared out of his wits.

Jiao Zhiming was different from Shao Yushan. He wasn’t as cunning and was far more cowardly. Right now, Tang Yi’s intimidation had nearly scared the shit out of him.

”Good. Now, I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. If I find you’re hiding anything from me, heh heh, I’ll send you to go see your brother!” Seeing that his intimidation had worked, Tang Yi said to Jiao Zhiming with a smile.

The reason he had killed Shao Yushan and spared Jiao Zhiming was that Tang Yi had noticed Shao Yushan was more stable and composed. Even when cornered, he had remained calm and was full of tricks. That kind of person was difficult to interrogate.

Jiao Zhiming, however, was different. This man wore everything on his face. He was terrified of death and acted like a total sycophant. This type of person was the easiest to question.

”Yes, Sir. Ask away. Please, ask anything,” Jiao Zhiming said obsequiously.

”First, who are you!” Tang Yi asked.

”This lowly one... this lowly one is...” Hearing the question, Jiao Zhiming hesitated, still seeming afraid to speak.

”Hm?”

Tang Yi’s eyes glared as he kicked Jiao Zhiming. ”What did I just say? I ask, you answer! Don’t try any crap with me. Hesitate again, and I’ll kill you on the spot!”

After being kicked by Tang Yi, Jiao Zhiming rolled a few times on the ground. He didn’t even dare to cry out in pain. He scrambled back up, knelt before Tang Yi again, and said while bowing and scraping, ”Yes, yes! I’ll answer, I’ll answer! I... I am a disciple of the Heaven-Devouring Sect.”

Hmph.

Tang Yi nodded. He knew Jiao Zhiming wasn’t lying because the information he’d obtained using his Celestial Eye Technique also showed that Jiao Zhiming was a disciple of the Heaven-Devouring Sect.

”Good. Now for the second question. Where is your Heaven-Devouring Sect, and what kind of influence is it? If you don’t tell me every single detail you know, I guarantee your fate will be worse than death!” Tang Yi threatened.

”Yes, yes! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Jiao Zhiming’s courage had long since been shattered. How could he dare to refuse?

After that, Tang Yi would ask a question, and Jiao Zhiming would answer it, explaining everything he knew in great detail.

This included the location of the Heaven-Devouring Sect, what kind of influence it was, what they were doing here, what their mission was, and even some of their secrets. All of it was revealed to Tang Yi.

After hearing Jiao Zhiming’s account, Tang Yi’s eyes widened. This was rather unexpected...
