I Break through Crazily

”What is that?!”

”Holy crap, that’s... No way! The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps actually fired a black signal flare!”

”Yeah, I think it’s weird too. The one who charged into Wolf Fighting Slope was just a young man. Is it really that serious?”

”Using a green signal flare against a single young man was already kind of bullying him, and now they’ve even fired a black one? Is that young man really that strong?”

”Aren’t they making too big of a deal out of this?! What on earth is going on? Is the battle inside really so brutal? Has it really reached the point where the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had to fire a black signal flare?”

”I’m so curious! What in the world is happening in there?!”

”...”

Seeing this Black Light, the more knowledgeable onlookers at the entrance stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with utter shock.

”Excuse me, but what does a black signal flare mean?”

Some less knowledgeable onlookers also poked their heads out, not ashamed to ask.

And there were many such onlookers who were not in the know.

A knowledgeable onlooker explained to these ignorant rookies with a hint of pride, ”They say the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps has three types of signal flares: basic, Mid-Level, and high-level. The basic one is white, used for general incidents involving the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. The Mid-Level one is green, launched only when they encounter an enemy they can’t defeat. You’ve probably seen that one before. And the third, the highest level, is this black signal flare right here! This is the first time I’ve ever seen a black signal flare myself. It’s said to be their highest-level signal flare, only to be fired in a life-or-death crisis for the entire Mercenary Corps!”

”It’s that serious?”

”So it’s actually the highest-level signal flare!”

”My heavens, what kind of grudge does that young man have with the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps for it to escalate this far?”

”You have to admit, that young man is just too strong. Who knows where he’s from, to have such power at such a young age.”

”You have to remember, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps is full of Battle Spirits and Battle Kings! There are even those stronger than Battle Kings. If even they can’t handle him and have to resort to a black signal flare, it just shows how much of a genius, how unbelievably powerful, this young man is.”

”Taking on the entire Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps alone... heh, now that’s just domineering.”

”I’m really, really curious. I wish I could see what’s happening inside.”

”Be patient. Didn’t a bunch of bold guys go in to watch earlier? We just have to wait for them to come out. They should know what happened.”

”True. They’ll probably tell us what went down inside.”

After learning the meaning of the black signal flare, the onlookers exclaimed in amazement one after another. At the same time, they grew even more curious about the great battle taking place inside Wolf Fighting Slope.

Moreover, with the unending shouts of battle and the ceaseless sound of explosions echoing from Wolf Fighting Slope, more and more onlookers gathered at the entrance. It even attracted the experts from the Blue Moon City West Mansion Branch.

Of course they would. With such a huge commotion, how could the people of the West Mansion—the sovereigns of the Western Domain and the keepers of order—not show up?

A large contingent of experts from the Blue Moon City West Mansion Branch arrived imposingly at the entrance to Wolf Fighting Slope. By listening to the onlookers and making a few inquiries, they quickly learned what was happening inside.

”Mansion Master, should we go in and see? After all, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps is under our jurisdiction. If something happens to them, we’ll be hard-pressed to escape blame,” a subordinate asked the Mansion Master of the Blue Moon City Branch Mansion.

The Mansion Master of Blue Moon City glanced toward Wolf Fighting Slope, shook his head, and said, ”No rush. We’ll go in when it’s almost over. Right now, they want to fight, so let them fight. The fiercer, the better.”

”Mansion Master, your meaning is...” the subordinate who had asked the question trailed off, confused.

”The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps has grown too fast and too strong these past few years. It’s about time they took a hit. Besides, as their power has grown, they’ve shown less and less respect for me, the Sub-Branch Master of this West Mansion Branch,” the Blue Moon City Mansion Master said slowly.

”I understand, Mansion Master. You want them to tear each other apart until both sides are crippled, right? It’s true, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps really needs to be taught a lesson. Just look at this Wolf Fighting Slope—the amount of land they’ve cordoned off is several times larger than our Blue Moon City Branch Mansion! They even threw a fit when we initially refused them. Do they really think they’re the sovereigns of the Western Domain?!” the subordinate said, suddenly understanding. He then began to vent about the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps.

”Heh.”

Hearing this, the Blue Moon City Mansion Master seemed to recall something. He let out a cold sneer, his eyes filled with resentment.

He said, ”As for both sides being crippled, I wouldn’t dare to hope for that much. After all, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps has been developing for years and has deep roots. It’s difficult to shake its foundation. Being able to deal them a heavy blow would be enough.”

”The Mansion Master is right,” the subordinate said obsequiously.

Then, as if remembering something, the subordinate added, ”Mansion Master, I heard the one causing trouble in Wolf Fighting Slope is a young man. According to these onlookers, he’s only about sixteen or seventeen—very young. Yet for a single young man to force the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps to treat him as a major threat and fire three different types of signal flares in succession... that’s just incredible. I’ve never heard of any genius in the Western Domain with that kind of power at sixteen or seventeen.”

”Sometimes, what you see on the surface isn’t the truth. Some powerful Martial Artists can use Secret Techniques to retain their youth. It’s not unheard of for an old monster who’s over a hundred years old to have the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old,” the Blue Moon City Mansion Master said.

”Oh, I see. The Mansion Master is truly wise and experienced.” The subordinate cupped his fists again, laying on another round of flattery.

The Blue Moon City Mansion Master shook his head at his subordinate’s flattery. While he didn’t particularly enjoy it, he didn’t stop him either.

”Alright. We’ll wait on the sidelines for now and go in to clean up the mess when it’s almost over. I just hope the person who charged into Wolf Fighting Slope doesn’t disappoint me. It would be no fun at all if this ends too quickly,” the Blue Moon City Mansion Master said, his voice full of shrewd calculation.

「Inside Wolf Fighting Slope.」

After dodging a blast of Tang Yi’s Sword Energy, the two Purple Robe Mercenaries saw their two companions get shredded into countless pieces of flesh by the Sword Energy’s strangulation. Their hearts seized with terror, and they were utterly horrified.

Seeing how powerful Tang Yi was—capable of instantly killing even Battle Emperor Level Martial Artists like themselves with a single strike—sent waves of shock through their hearts. The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.

If they hadn’t dodged just now, they would have been the ones to die!

Their hearts still pounding with lingering fear, the two exchanged a look and, without hesitation, took out the black signal flare and fired it into the sky.

The black signal flare that the members of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps saw was the very one these two Purple Robe Mercenaries had launched in a state of such terror.

The Tang Yi before them now posed an immense threat to the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. His ability to effortlessly and instantly kill even a Battle Emperor forced the Purple Robe Mercenaries to request aid by firing the highest-level black signal flare.

However, just as the two Purple Robe Mercenaries who had narrowly escaped death finished launching the signal flare, they suddenly saw a Black Shadow rushing toward them. This Black Shadow trailed a blinding tail of flame, making it incredibly dazzling.
