I Break through Crazily

Seeing Tang Yi stand completely still in the face of the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s powerful tongue of flame, the candidates from the Three Major Zones burst into discussion, their opinions all over the place.

Some felt it was a pity, some gloated over his misfortune, and some were simply terrified of the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog. The reactions were varied.

Meanwhile, Jiao Zhiming watched the distant Tang Yi, who seemed to be just standing there ’waiting for death.’ Confused, he said to Shao Yushan, ”Why isn’t he moving? Even the two of us nearly died facing that frog’s flames. He can’t possibly think he can resist it, can he?”

”I don’t know. Maybe he’s given up hope because he can’t escape. Or maybe he’s just frozen in shock, not expecting the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog to have such a terrifying attack.” Shao Yushan paused, then added with lingering fear, ”But it makes sense. Forget about that candidate from the North District; even I didn’t expect this. The flames the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog used before weren’t its true power—this is. If it had used this level of fire against us earlier, we would’ve had no chance of survival, even as Battle Kings, even with ten lives, even with the Ghost Head Shield. It’s just too horrifying.”

”The Fire Scorpion Giant Frog truly is a top-tier Level 5 Demon Beast. It really lives up to its reputation. It seems the second-ranked candidate from the North District is doomed,” Jiao Zhiming agreed with a nod.

”Heh, it’s better if he dies. It saves us the trouble,” Shao Yushan said with a laugh after a moment’s thought.

”True. That way, Captain He won’t have to look for him anymore, and we won’t need to send a message back,” Jiao Zhiming added, also smiling.

Both of them were happy to see Tang Yi die sooner rather than later. Whatever his reason for standing motionless, all they cared about was his death. That would make all their troubles disappear.

Besides, Tang Yi was now helping everyone gauge the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s true power, a fact that made Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming genuinely delighted.

Otherwise, when their Three Major Zones besieged the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, a single moment of carelessness could have gotten them killed without them even knowing how.

But what Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming didn’t know was that Tang Yi wasn’t dodging because he had lost hope, nor had he frozen up and forgotten to move. It was because... he didn’t need to dodge at all!

With his power, a mere Level 5 Demon Beast was nothing. If he wanted to, he could instantly kill the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog. A casually used Celestial Tier Martial Technique would be more than the beast could ever hope to resist!

Even if the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog was a top-tier Level 5 Demon Beast, it was still just a Level 5 Demon Beast. It was a far cry from a powerful Level 6 Demon Beast, whose strength was equivalent to a Battle Emperor’s.

Against a Level 6 Demon Beast, Tang Yi might have had to retreat for the moment. But a Level 5 Demon Beast...

As the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s tongue of flame shot toward him, the corner of Tang Yi’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile. ”Playing with fire against me? Heh. You beast aren’t worthy. I’ll show you what true flame is!”

”Three Thousand Flame Flames, manifest!”

As he spoke, he extended his hand. With a slight flick of his wrist, a wisp of purple flame appeared in his palm.

This wisp of flame was only the size of a thumb. Compared to the torrent of fire spewed by the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, it was like a drop in the ocean—infinitesimally small, not even a ten-thousandth, or even a hundred-millionth, of the frog’s attack.

It looked completely unremarkable. To an onlooker, there was nothing special about it at all, aside from its purple color.

And yet, it was this tiny, inconspicuous wisp of flame that brought a colossal shock to everyone present!

When Tang Yi summoned the purple flame before him, it seemed to come to life, floating in midair.

Then, facing the torrent of fire from the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, the purple flame seemed to flare in anger, as if its majesty had been challenged. It quivered furiously, and an immense aura and terrifying heat rapidly spread out from it in all directions.

Instantly, the temperature within a thousand meters skyrocketed, becoming unbearably hot.

Within a hundred meters, the moisture in countless flowers, grasses, and trees was baked away as if by an oven, evaporating in an instant and causing them to wither rapidly.

The air itself carried a searing, scorching sensation! Even the ground beneath their feet grew incredibly hot!

The candidates from the Three Major Zones had already retreated far enough to be unaffected by the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s flames. But when Tang Yi summoned that wisp of purple fire, they all felt a searing heatwave wash over them.

This heatwave was so intense it felt as though they were being roasted in a furnace. In an instant, everyone’s lips chapped and their skin became painfully dry.

Furthermore, the purple flame emanated a powerful pressure, as if a Fire God had descended. The aura was incomparably immense, giving everyone the urge to kneel and prostrate themselves in worship.

Under the dual assault of the intense heat and crushing pressure, some of the weaker candidates had already turned pale. Their spirits flagged, and their bodies trembled, looking as if they could collapse at any moment.

Even the more powerful candidates weren’t faring much better!

Under such duress, they felt extremely uncomfortable. As time passed, the pressure intensified and the surrounding temperature continued to climb, causing their faces to turn as pale and their spirits to wane just like the weaker candidates.

”Everyone, fall back! If this keeps up, we’re all going to die!”

At that moment, someone shouted—no one knew who—and upon hearing the warning, all the candidates from the Three Major Zones hastily retreated, trying to get away from that bizarre purple flame.

If they didn’t move quickly, they might really end up just as the person had said: all dead!

They would either be burned to death by the high temperature or crushed to death by the immense pressure!

What candidate could possibly withstand such a twofold assault?

Even Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, who were at the Battle King Level, felt immense pressure, to say nothing of the far weaker candidates.

The candidates from the Three Major Zones didn’t stop running until they were two or three hundred meters away, where they could no longer feel that suffocating pressure.

Although the air was still scorching hot here, it was at least manageable. The temperature back at their previous position was simply beyond what a human could endure.

At this point, all the candidates from the Three Major Zones were filled with countless questions. What on earth was that wisp of purple flame?

Why did it generate such terrifying heat?

Why did it exude such terrifying pressure?

How could a tiny wisp of flame be so horrifying?

And why did that candidate from the North District possess something so terrifying?

But before the candidates from the Three Major Zones could even begin to figure it out, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s tongue of flame finally reached Tang Yi, about to collide with the wisp of purple flame in front of him!

And then, an even more shocking scene unfolded!

No matter how ferocious the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s flames were, no matter how scorching their heat, no matter how much fire poison they carried—that purple wisp of flame simply floated there, hovering silently in front of Tang Yi, and not a single inch of the frog’s fire could advance past it!

It was as if the frog’s fire had encountered a terrifying natural predator. A strange SIZZLING sound erupted as the entire tongue of flame began to churn and scatter in chaos!

It was almost... as if the fire itself was panicking in fear, just like a person!

The scene was utterly bizarre!
