Chapter 461: Chapter 218: I Beg You, Beat Me Viciously! Let Me Howl in Agony

Just as Tang Yuan stepped out, he showed a flicker of surprise, his long, slender eyebrows knitting together.

’Something’s wrong. How did the mole I planted in the Martial Alliance disappear?’

He focused his senses, and the more he did, the stranger it felt.

’It doesn’t feel like they were destroyed!’

’If they had been, I would have definitely felt the feedback.’

’But if they weren’t destroyed, why can’t I sense them anymore?’

’Could there be another master within the Martial Alliance?’

This made him frown.

’I’ve been monitoring the Martial Alliance for days.’

’Who could possibly possess such an ability?’

’If they did, they would have used it long ago, not waited until now.’

’Forget it. I’ll just go and see for myself.’

A smile spread across Tang Yuan’s face. "All the better if there’s a master," he said. "Someone who can truly excite me. I crave it... for someone to break my bones, to crush me. Only then will I feel that exquisite thrill!"

He was just about to step forward.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a formidable aura erupted before him.

Dozens of Outer Saint auras flared up, sealing the path ahead with a thunderous roar.

Chai Hongyi, Li Dao Yuan, Lu Qilin, Gongsun Wuwo, and the other mountain lords of the Grotto Heavens appeared, their faces grim and their auras surging. They had cornered him within Earth Hero Mountain.

"You damned thing! How dare you go on a killing spree in the Grotto Heavens!"

Li Dao Yuan’s tone was glacial as his eyes swept over the scene. "To think you would annihilate all of Earth Hero Mountain!"

They had only learned of the monster’s rampage on Earth Hero Mountain after receiving a final message from its dying lord.

Fortunately, secret passages connected the various Grotto Heavens, saving them a great deal of travel time.

So they had been able to rush over quickly.

But they had never imagined they would still be too late.

All of Earth Hero Mountain was littered with corpses. It was a near-total annihilation.

"Oh? You arrived rather quickly."

Tang Yuan wore a morbid smile. He had an androgynous air about him; though clearly a man, at that moment he looked almost feminine.

"And Dharma Realm masters, too."

Tang Yuan’s gaze swept over Lu Qilin and Gongsun Wuwo, a smile playing on his lips. "Not bad at all. Come, let me see what you’re made of!"

"You’re courting death!"

Lu Qilin and Gongsun Wuwo’s expressions were dark.

They were veteran lords of the Grotto Heavens who had lived for countless years, having painstakingly clawed their way to the Dharma Realm.

BOOM!!

The two of them pressed forward, unleashing an incomparably powerful aura as they charged at Tang Yuan.

The remaining Outer Saint Level masters brandished their weapons and, without a moment’s hesitation, charged directly at Tang Yuan.

Unfortunately, they had still underestimated Tang Yuan’s power.

In the terrifying clash that followed...

Mountain lords were cut down one after another, their bodies sent flying as blood sprayed through the air.

The scene descended into chaos, terrifying bursts of energy exploding everywhere.

Even with the help of the two veteran lords, it was completely useless.

Tang Yuan’s power was bizarre. His body seemed almost transparent, making him impossible to lock onto.

No matter how powerful the attack, it would pass straight through his body as if he weren’t there.

It was as if he had a body of pure nothingness.

More bodies were sent flying, flesh and blood scattering through the air.

The remaining mountain lords were now terrified.

Fear was etched on every face as they rapidly backed away.

Even Lu Qilin and Gongsun Wuwo were retreating in shock.

In the sustained exchange, both had inevitably been injured.

A bizarre dark power invaded their bodies, seeming to corrode their True Essence.

’This monster’s power is completely different from what Chu Shanhe told us!’

’Chu Shanhe said he was at the Outer Saint Peak!’

’But this is far beyond the Outer Saint Peak!’

’He definitely has the cultivation of the Dharma Realm.’

"Is this all the strength you have?"

Tang Yuan wore his usual smile, advancing step by step with a nonchalant air. "How disappointing. I really thought you’d be a pleasant surprise. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die too quickly. I’m going to torture you, little by little. I’ll make you kneel before me, wailing in agony... Hmm, it would be even better if your families could come watch. To see you in this pathetic state. What do you think?"

"Retreat!"

Lu Qilin roared, retreating rapidly.

Without a second thought, everyone else fell back in a hurry.

A wide smile spread across Tang Yuan’s deathly pale face.

’Retreat?’

’Where could you possibly run?’

’This entire world is my playground!’

’No matter where you hide, I’ll find you!’

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly sensed something and snapped his head up.

In mid-air.

A figure in a purple robe had appeared, though no one knew when.

His arms were crossed.

He stood, hovering in the air.

His purple robes billowed without a wind, vast enough to blot out the sky.

His face was a blur, impossible to make out.

But his eyes were utterly soul-shaking.

Golden flames seemed to burn within them.

Even a single glance gave Tang Yuan the illusion that his body was searing hot.

The sky itself seemed to be shrouded in a golden heatwave, exuding an indescribable presence.

"Oh?"

Tang Yuan looked up at the figure in mid-air, a flicker of surprise on his face.

’Who is this?’

’To appear here so silently!’

"Who are you?"

Tang Yuan forced a wide smile onto his pale face, his gaze fixed on the sky. "I can feel it. You’re quite the powerhouse. Stronger, it seems, than anyone I’ve met before—including that Chu Shanhe!"

"Interesting. You’re a real surprise!"

"Come on! Break my bones! Make me wail beneath you!"

"Let’s see if you have what it takes."
