Chapter 389 - 388: Insta-killing the Mercenary Guards

Nearby, some passersby saw Tang Yi forcing his way in and stopped in their tracks. They gathered around to watch with great interest, discussing it endlessly.

They had never seen anyone dare to pick a fight with the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps.

What kind of influence was the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps? They were the top dog in the Western Desert Mercenary World, immensely powerful with experts as numerous as the clouds. Who would dare to cause them trouble?

Let alone trying to force one’s way into the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ stronghold!

In their stronghold, Wolf Fighting Slope, the number of experts was incalculable. Battle Spirits were as common as ants, Battle Kings roamed everywhere, and there were also numerous, incredibly powerful Battle Emperors—not to mention existences even stronger than them.

Forcing your way into the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps? Wasn’t that just courting death?

Yet someone was doing just that right before their eyes, which immediately piqued the curiosity of the gossiping passersby.

"If you don’t stop now, we won’t go easy on you!"

"I can see you’re just a boy, too young to know any better. The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps isn’t unreasonable. Leave now, and we’ll overlook your transgression. But if you insist on forcing your way in, then we won’t let you off lightly, boy or not!"

"Back off, now!"

Seeing Tang Yi continue to walk straight toward them, ignoring their warnings, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guards’ threats grew harsher. Their eyes filled with vicious expressions, hoping to scare him away.

If not for the many eyes and ears around, and the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ reputation as a force for justice—which prevented them from committing vile acts in broad daylight—these mercenary guards would have likely attacked and driven Tang Yi away long ago.

"What’s wrong? Am I not allowed inside?" Tang Yi asked coolly.

"Do you have a pass? Or an invitation from our Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps?" a mercenary guard asked Tang Yi.

"No." Tang Yi shook his head.

"Then you have no right to enter. This is the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ stronghold. Outsiders are forbidden!" the mercenary guard barked, trying to shoo him away.

"And what if I insist on going in?"

The corners of Tang Yi’s mouth lifted into a cold smirk.

"Insist on entering?"

The mercenary guard laughed as well. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Anyone who dares to trespass in the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ stronghold will be killed on sight!"

"Oh? Then I’d like to see just how you plan to kill me!" Tang Yi said with contempt.

With that, utterly unfazed by the guards’ threats, he walked straight toward the entrance of Wolf Fighting Slope.

Clearly, Tang Yi was going to force his way in.

’So what if they won’t let me in? I’ll go in on my own. Let’s see who dares to stop me. Whoever tries, dies!’

"You’re courting death!"

"This damned brat is looking for trouble! Everyone, get him!"

Seeing how arrogant Tang Yi was, daring to ignore the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ warning, the mercenary guards became incandescent with rage. Brandishing their weapons, they moved to surround him.

In the eyes of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guards, Tang Yi was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with no real strength. He must have lost his mind to dare and barge into their stronghold. They figured if they just surrounded him and used a few simple techniques, the boy would be captured without a fight.

So, while the mercenary guards were angered and annoyed by Tang Yi’s open provocation, they didn’t take him too seriously.

However, what they didn’t know was that this very underestimation would cost them their lives.

As the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guards reached Tang Yi, before they could even make a move, he waved his hand. Instantly, a great gust of wind erupted from his palm. WHOOSH! It sent the guards scattering and tumbling to the ground, unable to get back up.

Did you think Tang Yi would let them go just like that?

Of course not!

Tang Yi was here to cause trouble, to get revenge. How could he possibly let anyone from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps go?

Tang Yi was well aware of the truth. Although the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps claimed to be a force for justice on the surface, performing deeds like punishing the strong and helping the weak to win public favor, they were engaged in filthy business behind the scenes. Take Li Kuang, whom Tang Yi had encountered before, or the assassins who had repeatedly attacked him—they were all nothing but hypocrites, putting on one face in public and another in private!

So, how could Tang Yi possibly spare people like them?

’One kill is one kill. With every one I kill, there’s one less menace in the world!’

So, once the mercenary guards were all on the ground, Tang Yi gave a slight kick, sending the gravel at his feet flying.

Instantly, the pieces of gravel broke into countless tiny shards and shot toward the fallen mercenary guards.

To an ordinary person, they were just small stones. But when kicked by Tang Yi, they became incomparably powerful hidden weapons!

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The countless shards of gravel struck the fallen mercenary guards with perfect accuracy, causing blossoms of fresh, red blood to sprout from their bodies.

After being struck by the gravel, the bodies of the mercenary guards shuddered. Their heads snapped back as they coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then their necks went limp as they fell silent.

A dozen or so guards from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps died a miserable death at Tang Yi’s hands, killed by nothing more than a few small stones.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guard. You have obtained 6,214 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guard. You have obtained 3,245 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guard. You have obtained 7,451 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guard. You have obtained 4,544 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."

"..."

These Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guards were merely Battle Spirit Level Martial Artists. As Tang Yi’s own Level increased, killing Martial Artists at the Battle Spirit Level no longer gave him much Experience Value.

A few thousand Experience Value was merely a drop in the bucket for Tang Yi, who needed hundreds of millions to level up. As such, he showed no sign of excitement after killing these men.

Having dealt with the guards and with no one left to stop him, Tang Yi continued on into the entrance of Wolf Fighting Slope, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ stronghold.

Meanwhile, the crowd of onlookers and gossips who saw Tang Yi effortlessly kill the mercenary guards and force his way into Wolf Fighting Slope erupted in an uproar, utterly astonished.

He sent more than a dozen Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps guards flying with a wave of his hand?

He obliterated those guards with a hail of gravel from a single kick?

How could anyone be so powerful? So domineering?

And the person responsible for it all was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy!

A supreme expert at sixteen or seventeen?

How could anyone be such a genius?

The passersby who saw this scene were not only shocked, but also incredibly excited.

The boy was so powerful, so formidable. He had killed men from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps on sight, making them his enemy. He had clearly come prepared. This was the prelude to something huge!
