Chapter 250 - 249: Using the Heaven Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique: Ice Seal of Ten Thousand Miles

Ma Long turned and said to the crowd from the Three Major Zones, "Brothers, let’s attack together! We’ll take out this examinee from the North District and snatch that Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal!"

Hearing this, the group of examinees who had come with Ma Long all tightened their grip on their weapons and slowly advanced toward Tang Yi.

Although they were somewhat intimidated by Tang Yi’s power, attacking together in such numbers bolstered their courage, and they were no longer afraid of him.

"You too. Attack with us."

Ma Long turned to Yui Mu, Miao Yuan, and Jiang Kangcheng and said, "With all of us dealing with this kid together, even if he’s strong, there’s no way he can be our match."

Hearing Ma Long’s words, Yui Mu, Miao Yuan, and Jiang Kangcheng exchanged a look, then nodded. They too gripped their weapons and, leading their own men, slowly advanced toward Tang Yi.

They agreed. Tang Yi’s strength was impressive—extraordinarily so. Even an examinee as powerful as Shan Hua couldn’t withstand a single one of his moves. However, with so many people attacking him at once, no matter how formidable he was, it was impossible for him to resist.

One man can’t fight a crowd. So what if he was powerful?

That was why they joined Ma Long and the others to advance on Tang Yi.

Over fifty examinees, under Ma Long’s command, slowly closed in on Tang Yi. The sight of so many people moving in unison was indeed imposing.

"Oh? You’re all coming at once? Trying to use your numbers to bully me? Heh."

Seeing the examinees from the Three Major Zones advance together, Tang Yi gave a scornful laugh. He looked at them and said, "I have other things to do. I was just wondering how to get rid of you all at once. Now you’re all coming to your deaths together. Heh, that’s fine by me. It saves me a lot of trouble."

"So what if we’re using our numbers to bully you? What are you going to do about it?"

"Take us all out at once? You talk a big game."

"Take a good look at how many of us there are! And look at who’s leading us! Brother Ma, Brother Jiang, Brother Yui—are any of them weak? You’d be lucky to beat just one of them, yet you think you can take all of us out at once?"

"There’s a limit to confidence. Don’t let it become arrogance."

"Heh, no matter how strong you are, can you defy the heavens? I refuse to believe one person can take on more than fifty of us!"

"If the fifty-plus of us can’t even beat one guy, then we might as well forget about entering the West Mansion and just go home."

"..."

Hearing Tang Yi claim he would dispose of all fifty-plus of them from the Three Major Zones at once, the examinees burst into scornful laughter.

They admitted Tang Yi was powerful. They admitted his techniques were extraordinary, perhaps even surpassing their leader, Ma Long. But could one person, no matter how powerful, really defeat more than fifty people?

Absolutely impossible.

Even a Battle King might not be able to defeat so many opponents, let alone a mere examinee from the North District. So, they didn’t take Tang Yi’s words seriously. They just assumed he was scared and was trying to intimidate them with empty threats.

Ma Long also laughed at Tang Yi’s words. "Kid, just accept your fate. You still want to fight so many of us? Heh, this is no time for empty boasts. You’re strong, I’ll give you that, but you can’t possibly win against all of us. And... don’t bother trying to scare us. It’s useless. We are determined to have the Demon Beast Crystal in your hands; it wouldn’t matter if you exaggerated your power to the heavens. If you must blame something, blame yourself for getting something you shouldn’t have. Blame yourselves for being examinees from the North District! This has always been the fate of examinees from the North District, year after year. You will be no exception."

"Is that so? It’s always been this way? No exceptions? Heh."

Tang Yi sneered, a sharp glint in his eyes. "No exceptions? Then... I will be the one to create that exception!"

With that, Tang Yi looked up at the sky, brought his hands together before his chest, and put on a look of utmost sincerity, as if he were praying.

The reason Tang Yi had delayed so long, allowing the examinees from the Three Major Zones to survive until now, wasn’t because he wanted to waste time, nor was it that he couldn’t bear to kill them. Rather, he was contemplating which Skill he should use to annihilate the entire group in an instant.

If there was one thing Tang Yi had in abundance, it was wide-range Martial Techniques!

There was the Earth Tier Upper Grade sword skill, Celestial Heart Guidance; the Heaven Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique, Ice Seal of Ten Thousand Miles; and the Finishing Move, Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash. Aside from Celestial Heart Guidance, which was a linear attack that only struck enemies in a straight line, the other two were large-scale Range Skills capable of covering an entire area.

Of course, there was also Exotic Fire, another method for attacking enemies over a wide area.

By just tossing out the Exotic Fire, he could indiscriminately attack the enemies before him and burn them all to death.

Exotic Fire also had a collateral effect. Even if someone wasn’t caught in the initial blast, if they came to rescue another or simply got too close and were touched by the Exotic Fire, they too would be burned to cinders by this flame that water could not extinguish.

Naturally, using Exotic Fire in the forest would be incredibly effective. Surrounded by trees, it would be easy to start a massive blaze that would engulf all the examinees from the Three Major Zones.

However, Tang Yi had no intention of using his Exotic Fire.

He thought for a moment and ultimately decided to use the Heaven Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique, Ice Seal of Ten Thousand Miles!

Tang Yi hadn’t had this Heaven Tier Martial Technique for very long, but it wasn’t a brand-new acquisition either. Yet, he had never once used it.

After all, the last time Tang Yi had used the Heaven Tier Martial Technique, Flame Dance, it had caused a huge commotion. Since he was currently in the West Mansion, and Wang Zongyao had instructed him to keep a low profile, Tang Yi hadn’t dared to test the might of a Heaven Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique there, fearing it would attract unnecessary trouble.

But now, here in the Little Extreme Sacred Land, there were no such restrictions.

This was the perfect moment to witness the power of this Heaven Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique.

Besides wanting to use it to eliminate the examinees from the Three Major Zones, Tang Yi himself was also very curious to find out just how powerful a Heaven Tier Lower Grade Level range-type Martial Technique truly was.

"Oh, great God of Ice and Frost, please grant me your power and freeze this land of sin!"

"Ice Seal of Ten Thousand Miles! Activate!"

Tang Yi muttered the words of the Spell, and as he spoke the final word, "Activate!", his clothes began to stir without a wind, and his body actually started Floating into the air!

At this moment, Tang Yi was not using the Flying Skill exclusive to a Battle King, nor was he controlling his body himself. He was simply following the system’s requirements for casting the Martial Technique, Ice Seal of Ten Thousand Miles, and was instantly lifted into the air by a mysterious power.
