I Break through Crazily

”What do you mean, terrifying? What demon? What are you even talking about?” Seeing the ’brave passerby’s’ incoherent rambling, someone in the crowd grew impatient.

”It’s that boy, that boy! He’s a demon, a murderous demon, a demon whose hands are stained with blood!!”

The ’brave passerby’ was extremely agitated, his body trembling slightly. His complexion, which had just regained some color, instantly turned pale again.

It seemed that the mere memory of what he’d just witnessed filled him with absolute terror.

”Take it easy, just tell us slowly,” someone said soothingly.

”I...”

The ’brave passerby’ took a breath. Just as he was about to speak, someone pushed through the crowd and said to him, ”Brother, I am Liu Hongyuan, a guard of the West Mansion. Over there is the Lord of the Mansion of our Blue Moon City. Why don’t you come over and give us a full account? As long as your information is useful, my Lord of the Mansion will certainly reward you handsomely!”

”The Mansion Master of Blue Moon City!”

The ’brave passerby’ was startled and hurriedly said with respect, ”Greetings, my lord. Of course. I’ll go over and give a full account to the Lord of the Mansion right now.”

With that, the ’brave passerby’ walked toward the spot where the Mansion Master of Blue Moon City was standing.

The people from the West Mansion were intervening, and they wanted the ’brave passerby’ to speak directly to the Mansion Master. No matter how anxious or curious the onlookers were, none of them dared to complain. After all, the West Mansion was the ruling power of the Western Domain, dominating the entire region. In the Western Domain, they were heaven itself. Who would dare defy heaven?

Did they want to get struck down by heaven?

So the crowd could only part to make way, flocking around the ’brave passerby’ as he was brought before the Mansion Master of Blue Moon City.

”Lord of the Mansion.”

After arriving before the Mansion Master of Blue Moon City, the ’brave passerby’ clasped his hands in a respectful salute.

After taking a moment to compose himself, the ’brave passerby’s’ emotions had stabilized considerably. Although his face was still pale, he was no longer speaking in the same panicked tone as before.

He had been utterly terrified before and had nearly died. Having escaped by a stroke of luck, how could he not still be shaken to his core?

”Hm. What is your name? And which influence are you a Martial Artist of?” the Mansion Master of Blue Moon City asked.

”My name is Tao Siyuan, and I am a Loose Cultivator,” the ’brave passerby’ replied.

”Hm.”

The Mansion Master of Blue Moon City nodded in acknowledgment, then asked politely, ”Brother Tao, what exactly happened in there that threw you into such a panic? Could you describe it to me in detail?”

”Of course!”

Tao Siyuan nodded and began to explain, ”Lord of the Mansion, you may not be aware, but my panic isn’t because I’m a coward. It’s because the scene I just witnessed was simply too horrifying.”

”Here’s what happened. I followed that boy into Wolf Fighting Slope. And what is Wolf Fighting Slope? It’s the headquarters of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. Ordinary people can’t just go in. What’s more, that boy had killed the guards at the entrance. So after entering Wolf Fighting Slope, he immediately got into a conflict with the Mercenaries from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. Of course, that’s not the important part. What’s important is...”

Tao Siyuan paused, once again piquing the crowd’s curiosity before he continued, ”And guess what happened next? I never expected that boy to be so ruthless. I don’t know what kind of grudge they had, but the moment he saw the patrolling Mercenaries, he killed all of them. Every one was a one-hit kill, done with ease. Not a single one of those patrolling Mercenaries was his match. Left with no other choice, they fired a Signal Flare to call for reinforcements.”

”But who would have thought that even the reinforcements summoned by the Signal Flare were no match for that boy? In fact, there weren’t even enough of them for him to kill. However many came, that’s how many died! The Gray Robe Mercenaries at the Battle Grandmaster Level, the Silver Robe Mercenaries at the Battle Spirit Level—that boy could kill a whole swath of them with a single move! Even the Golden Robe Mercenaries couldn’t withstand a single finger from him. He was just unbelievably powerful!”

Hearing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Killing a swath of Battle Grandmasters and Battle Spirits with a single move and instantly killing a Battle King with one finger... What kind of incredible techniques, what level of power was that!

For a boy to be that powerful was a real eye-opener.

Even the Mansion Master of Blue Moon City and the experts from the West Mansion couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

However, there were some who didn’t believe him.

”Brother Tao, you’re not just making this up, are you? Is that boy really so powerful? Killing a whole swath of Battle Grandmasters and Battle Spirits in one move? What do you take him for, a War God? He’s just a boy. How could he possibly be that strong?”

”That’s right! You’re just making things up as you go. You’re standing right in front of the Lord of the Mansion and still dare to spew such nonsense. Aren’t you afraid he’ll punish you?”

”If you said he could kill Battle Grandmaster and Battle Spirit Level Martial Artists, or even instantly kill a Battle King Level Martial Artist, I’d believe you. But saying he can kill a whole group of people with a single move? That I don’t believe! What kind of Martial Technique is that powerful? Powerful enough to wipe out a whole group of people?”

”Look, Brother Tao, we asked you to tell us what you saw in there, not to spin a yarn. These embellished stories sound completely unbelievable.”

”I think what Brother Tao is saying is probably true, but he must be exaggerating. Maybe he really can kill a lot of people in one move, but it’s probably not on the scale of a ’whole swath’.”

”...”

”I’m not making it up, and I’m not exaggerating! In fact, I’m being conservative. The reality is even more outrageous! ’A swath’ was just my conservative estimate; in reality, it was even more!” Tao Siyuan immediately retorted.

”Sure you are!”

”Sigh. Even storytellers can become Martial Artists these days. What a tragedy.”

”Go on, keep making things up.”

”...”

Some people remained unconvinced.

”Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I’m just telling you what I saw,” Tao Siyuan said.

”Alright, Brother Tao, please continue. Pay them no mind,” Liu Hongyuan, the guard from the West Mansion, spoke up.

”Alright!”

Hearing this, Tao Siyuan couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore and continued, ”Right, I was talking about how the boy killed a whole swath of Gray and Silver Robe Mercenaries with a single move, wasn’t I? Let me continue. What do you do when the reinforcements from an ordinary Signal Flare can’t win? Of course, you summon even stronger support! The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps is huge and powerful; calling for more people is simple for them, right? So, seeing that the Gray, Silver, and Golden Robe Mercenaries were no match for the boy, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps fired a second, green Signal Flare!”

”And this green Signal Flare was no joke. It instantly summoned several hundred Battle King Level Golden Robe Mercenaries and several thousand Battle Spirit Level Silver Robe Mercenaries. A dense, dark mass of them—it was a terrifying sight. And among them were several figures dressed in Purple Robes! And what do Purple Robes signify? Those are the Purple-robed Envoys of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, a Position of incredible prestige. I’m sure all of you have heard of them to some extent. That boy managed to draw out even the Purple-robed Envoys of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. Now tell me, is that powerful or not?”
