Chapter 292 - 291: Interrogating Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the East District. You have received 2,311 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value points."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the East District. You have received 10,214 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value points."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the West District. You have received 3,542 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value points."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing an examinee from the North District. You have received 4,412 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value points."

"..."

Hundreds of notifications rang in Tang Yi’s mind. He had received the Experience Value from hundreds of examinees.

However, since most of the examinees were of a relatively low Level, the Experience wasn’t much. Thus, the haul this time was just average. Furthermore, he didn’t know if it was bad luck or if the low Level of the examinees affected the drop rate, but out of hundreds of examinees, not a single item had dropped. It was pathetic.

Although his total Experience Value had increased by a chunk after receiving all this Experience, he was still quite a long way from leveling up to a Seven-Star Battle King.

After dealing with the examinees from the Three Major Zones, Tang Yi gazed in the direction where Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming had fled. He narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Heh, if I just let you two escape like that, wouldn’t I lose a lot of face?"

With that, Tang Yi turned and instructed the three people behind him—Tang Piaomiao, Tang Baijie, and Fan Wei—"The three of you wait for me here. I’ll be right back!"

Without waiting for their reaction, Tang Yi flew into the air and chased after Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming.

Those two, Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, were disciples of the Heaven-Devouring Sect. Their strength was a cut above the ordinary examinees, and their behavior was exceptionally strange. It was obvious they had entered the Little Extreme Sacred Land for the House Entrance Examination with some kind of ulterior motive.

How could Tang Yi let them go without getting to the bottom of things?

SWOOSH!

With a sound of tearing air, Tang Yi’s figure shot forward like a shuttle, rapidly chasing after Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming.

Although Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming had taken advantage of the chaos to escape and had already covered some distance, Tang Yi’s Speed was twice as fast as theirs. Before they knew it, he was right behind them.

"Damn it, he’s coming after us! Run!"

Seeing Tang Yi in pursuit, Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming panicked. With a flicker of their bodies, they flew up into the sky.

They were Battle Kings too, and also possessed the ability to fly.

If they hadn’t been afraid of Tang Yi discovering them earlier, they would have taken to the skies long ago. But they never expected that even after fleeing through the jungle, Tang Yi would still find them and catch up with his incredible speed!

Now that they were discovered, Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming no longer hid themselves. Using the abilities of Battle King Powerhouses, they flew into the sky and fled at top speed.

They both knew what would happen if Tang Yi caught them!

While they were escaping, they had seen Tang Yi attack. They had watched a huge swathe of examinees turn to ash in the blink of an eye. His aura, his strength, that terrifying power... it was simply horrifying.

How could they not be afraid after witnessing such a scene?

Seeing Tang Yi closing in, their hearts were filled with terror. They gritted their teeth and fled for their lives.

"Trying to escape? Heh, who could possibly get away from me, Tang Yi?"

Tang Yi sneered and said confidently.

At the same time, he accelerated in pursuit.

Although Tang Yi couldn’t use the Divine Boots that increased Speed by 15% in the air, he had consumed so many Attribute Pills that his agility had increased significantly. His Speed was now off the charts!

Besides, Tang Yi was a Six-star Battle King, while Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming were only One-star Battle Kings. Whether it was physical constitution or Level, Tang Yi completely suppressed them in every aspect.

Even if they flew with all their might, how could they possibly out-fly Tang Yi?

In just a few breaths’ time, Tang Yi caught up to them.

WHOOSH! With a graceful twist, Tang Yi appeared in front of Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, blocking their path.

"Where do you think you’re running now? Heh heh!" Tang Yi sneered, looking at Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming.

Seeing that Tang Yi had caught them, Jiao Zhiming looked at him in terror and stammered, "You... why are you chasing us?! If it’s about... an explanation... you’ve already killed so... so many people from our Three Major Zones. Isn’t that enough of an explanation for you?"

"Heh heh, have you forgotten what I said? I told everyone they had only two choices: either crush the Help Stone and withdraw, or die! Since you didn’t withdraw, death is your only option! And you actually have the nerve to ask me why? How ridiculous!" Tang Yi said with a disdainful laugh, crossing his arms.

"You! You’re going too far!" Jiao Zhiming was furious, but he was also helpless, feeling utterly wronged.

"Going too far? Heh heh, that’s right, I am. So what? On the Saint Martial Continent, the strong are respected. Don’t you even understand a simple principle like that?" Tang Yi glared at Jiao Zhiming and said sharply.

"You!" Jiao Zhiming wanted to say more, but Shao Yushan, who was beside him, stopped him.

"Brother, just say it. What will it take for you to let us go?" Shao Yushan asked in a low voice.

"I’ve already told you. Crush the Help Stone, and I’ll spare your lives," Tang Yi replied.

"What about other conditions? Besides that one, what will it take for you to let us go? Martial Techniques? Treasures? Money? Just say the word, and we two brothers will hand it over with both hands," Shao Yushan negotiated.

"Heh heh."

Tang Yi gave a cold laugh and glanced at Shao Yushan with disdain. "Forget it. I’m not interested in any of that," he said. "However... it’s not entirely impossible for me to let you go."

"Really? You’re actually willing to let us go?" Upon hearing this, Jiao Zhiming’s face immediately broke into an unconcealable expression of joy.

Shao Yushan frowned, displeased that Jiao Zhiming was wearing his heart on his sleeve. ’We’re in the middle of negotiations right now,’ he thought. ’How are we supposed to negotiate when you’ve already shown our hand?’

’He’s just asking to be taken for a ride!’

’What a useless teammate!’

Of course, he was displeased, but right now they were two grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn’t show it now. They had to deal with the examinee in front of them first.

Thinking of this, Shao Yushan said to Tang Yi, "I wonder what this brother’s requirements are. As long as you spare our lives, feel free to name your price!"

"Really? I can name any price?"

The corner of Tang Yi’s mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. "Actually, my demands aren’t high. In fact, they’re quite simple. I just need you to honestly answer a few questions for me."

"A few questions?"

Hearing this, Shao Yushan’s heart sank with a GULP. ’This is bad,’ he thought inwardly. ’Could this examinee have seen through us? Our identities cannot be exposed here!’

Shao Yushan had a bad feeling. His eyes darted around for a moment. He turned and exchanged a look with Jiao Zhiming, giving him a signal, and then immediately turned to flee!

Having received Shao Yushan’s signal, the instant Shao Yushan fled, Jiao Zhiming also spun around and ran in the opposite direction.

They had made up their minds. By running in different directions, they’d see who Tang Yi chose to chase. At least one of them would survive!

But if their identities were exposed, they would both die!

That’s why they made this choice now: to split up and run!

However, they had underestimated Tang Yi’s power...
