Chapter 332 -329: Destruction Weapons Are a Disease

It seemed… perhaps… maybe… probably…

At first, they guessed that the enemy numbered between two and four people. Now it was clear that their guess was damn accurate!

They had exerted themselves through immense hardship, suffering heavy casualties, and finally took down a big BOSS… only to realize that it was one of the three major bosses!

Due to the overwhelming strength of the enemy, they had been so tense that they completely overlooked this fact.

How relieved they felt after taking down one of them!

The mercenary corps commander, a brawny man with a headscarf, wore a bitter smile.

Fear flickered in the eyes of the other battered and defeated soldiers, but due to their training and ingrained thinking, they did not immediately flee in panic.

Young Master Li, Li Ting, was also stunned.

Especially since among the two who had just emerged from the Secret Realm, one was clad in a black robe, wearing a butterfly mask, and looked nearly identical to the one they had faced earlier.

“No… it’s not possible there are so many experts. I know all the top powerful figures in Jing City by name and face. Right, the one guarding outside should be… no, it must be the strongest one. That’s why they’re alone. The remaining two, even if they are ability users, couldn’t possibly have the bizarre and terrifying ability to control blood as the one we just encountered, considering everyone’s Special Ability is unique…”

Li Ting murmured, his soft voice reaching the ears of the surrounding mercenaries.

The brawny man with the headscarf steadied himself, “Young Master Li is correct. We are not without chances. Don’t panic, panicking is useless!”

In command of hundreds in the Mercenary Corps, the brawny man obviously didn’t naively think that the man and woman who emerged from the Secret Realm were any less powerful than the one they had just faced. But this was the only way to boost the morale of his troops.

‘We have suffered heavy losses, but we still have a significant number of people. If we run… the ordinary soldiers have a high chance of escaping, but both Young Master Li and I… as the most noticeable targets in the team, clearly have no hope. Once we are separated and they catch up, we won’t stand a chance.’

‘Only by rallying the remaining forces of the Mercenary Corps might we at least injure the enemy. With my strong regenerative healing, I might still have a chance to escape!’

The brawny man’s mind was as clear as a mirror.

Li Ting even offered a substantial reward.

Under the promise of a great reward, there must be brave… or rather, death-seeking soldiers. The spurred remnants didn’t think much and charged with bloodshot eyes.

On the other side,

Tang Yu stood with his arms crossed, expressionless, even finding the situation slightly amusing at heart.

If told, these enemies that popped out of nowhere would definitely not believe… that the one they had barely managed to defeat, after heavy casualties, was just an Avatar of Red Moon, not even possessing one-tenth of Red Moon’s actual power.

He didn’t move; by his side was Red Moon, already advancing.

Her pace was slow, like people strolling leisurely in a park after dinner.

And the Awakeners charging at her ended with blood spurting from their seven orifices, their bodies bursting into a mist of blood, and with a thud, they collapsed onto the street.

“Blood… blood control.”

The others halted in their tracks, too afraid to step forward, their teeth chattering.

They remembered the terror of being controlled by blood manipulation just a minute ago.

The brawny man with the headscarf bellowed and quickly directed a response. Yet the actual Red Moon was far superior to the Avatar, faster and stronger, and not restricted by that scant amount of Source Power.

In a flash, she vanished from the view of the mercenaries, then reappeared at the center of the densest group.

With her as the center, the people of Li’s Mercenary Corps fell like dominoes, one by one.

The brawny man perceived the danger and quickly extended his arms to block in front of his chest, controlling his muscles to wriggle and seal off the main blood vessels.

Pop. Pop.

The blood vessels in his arms burst open, and blood sprayed out like a watering gun.

The brawny man clenched his teeth, and with the experience from before, he was less afraid. He tried to retreat swiftly while…

As he moved, he realized that all his strength was draining away like air from a deflated ball.

His vision turned a uniform red as warm fluid flowed from everywhere.

“I…”

The brawny man with the headscarf opened his mouth, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground, completely silent.

…

Li Ting watched as the Awakeners around him fell one after another, panic surging uncontrollably in his heart.

He was no fool, having fought to the death against Demonized Beasts. Although most of his strength came from the Li Family’s resources, he had not skimped on his own efforts… Yet, in the end, Li Ting could not compare to the mercenaries who licked their blades year-round.

At first, he was petrified with fear.

The blood manipulation ability of this cloaked figure was much stronger than that of the previous one.

The domino effect of falling figures was rapidly spreading towards him.

Li Ting lifted his foot, attempting to flee, but he grit his teeth and a fierce look flashed across his face.

He knew, with the speed the cloaked person had shown, a speed he couldn’t even keep up with his eyes, escape was impossible.

His only option was to fight desperately!

Li Ting burst forth instantly, moving even faster than the turbaned strongman—he was the most powerful person in the team.

However, his direction was not towards the cloaked man, but towards the young man standing at the entrance of the Secret Realm, arms crossed and watching the scene unfold as if it were a play.

He completely discarded everything, choosing to fight with the resolve to potentially die!

Naturally, Tang Yu noticed him.

Red Moon was slaughtering the minions, paying no heed to the approaching young man.

As the young man charged forward with indomitable will, Tang Yu sighed, touched the tip of his nose, and drew the Longsword that hung from his waist.

Did he look that easy to bully?

…

Seeing Tang Yu draw his weapon actually relieved Li Ting and brought a glint to his eyes.

When he closed the distance to about twenty or thirty meters, he reversed the grip on the Rune Battle Blade he had brought from the Secret Realm, an incredibly formidable weapon. The blade was plunged into the ground, scooping the earth as he surged forward.

Source Power flowed continuously from Li Ting’s hands into the Battle Blade. The mysterious runes on the blade lit up, and with an explosive burst of power, as Li Ting lifted the weapon, a half-moon-shaped Sword Light emerged, visible to the naked eye. The Sword Light cleaved through the ground; the earth cracked, and rocks flew as if a great white shark was swimming through water, its dorsal fin above the surface, while beneath lurked a deadly threat.

“Earth Split Slash!”

Li Ting roared to embolden himself.

The oncoming rush of air blasted towards him, with the debris flying past his face.

Tang Yu’s expression was unchanged; he just took an extra moment to observe Li Ting’s Rune Battle Blade.

‘It must be a C3 or B1 level weapon – the attached skill is quite good. It’s a pity… the user is too rigid. Who says that Earth Split Slash must be used with the blade plunged into the ground? It looks impressive but…’

It was nothing but a bluff for those with no real experience.

Tang Yu sidestepped with ease, moving leisurely to one side; Earth Split Slash’s Sword Light passed a meter or two from him, the wind it kicked up causing his hair to sway.

Li Ting, having unleashed Earth Split Slash, now charged right up to him, both hands on the hilt, poised to bring the blade crashing down from above.

Tang Yu’s eyes narrowed.

He lifted his Rune Sword slightly, Source Power circulating through it, and the Longsword sang out with a metallic ring, an unstoppable aura soaring skyward.

A brilliant streak of sword light, like the most dazzling river of stars in the night sky, shone forth, making all other objects in the vicinity seem dim and colorless.

The sword light swept across…

With a “ping,”

Half of the blade flew off into the soft earth.

Li Ting looked at the cleanly severed half of the Battle Blade left in his hand, his expression stunned, wavering, fearful… He stiffly lowered his head to see a line of blood, from his right shoulder to his left waist, slowly becoming clear.

…

Tang Yu sheathed his Rune Sword with satisfaction.

The remaining half of Li Ting’s Battle Blade dropped and rolled to his feet.

Glancing down at the damaged weapon, he noticed the mystical engravings were fading, rendering the blade simple and unadorned.

Tang Yu was momentarily stunned, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

“How wasteful can I possibly be——”
