Run? Did I Allow That?

The next moment, battle erupted in an instant!

The members of the Tan Lang War Band did not hesitate in the slightest after receiving the order.

The Shield Warriors in the front row roared and charged forward, while the Mages and archers in the rear simultaneously raised their staffs and longbows.

"Flame Arrow!"

"Ice Cone!"

"Wind Blade!"

"Concussive Shot!"

For a moment, multicolored magical radiance and whistling arrows poured forth like a burst dam, forming an impenetrable net of skills that instantly engulfed Yang Yu!

The moment he gave the order, Tan Lang retreated several more meters. He was not confident he could withstand the concentrated fire of dozens of his own men.

Boom!!!

Countless skills struck Yang Yu's position with pinpoint accuracy at the same time.

The deafening explosions roared as violent Elemental Energy surged and churned, kicking up clouds of dust that instantly swallowed Yang Yu's figure whole.

Among the onlookers nearby, some timid Professionals instinctively covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the bloody aftermath.

In their eyes, that arrogant masked man was already dead.

Blasted so thoroughly that not even scraps remained.

The greed in Tan Lang's and Wang Jie's eyes grew even stronger!

They knew that while killing a Professional would not cause the items in his storage space to drop, all the equipment he wore could be dropped!

Those two pieces of the Wild Boar Suit would soon be theirs!

Lu Fei's and Leng Yuan's hearts rose to their throats as well.

However, just as everyone believed the dust had settled—

Screech!

A sword light brilliant beyond measure, like lightning tearing through the night, suddenly slashed out from the rolling smoke and dust!

That sword light was faster than anyone's visual limit!

Carrying an unmatched sharpness, it swept across the battlefield.

Slice! Slice! Slice!

A dense succession of dull sounds rang out as sharp blades cut into flesh.

The three Tan Lang War Band Shield Warriors charging at the front still had savage grins on their faces when their bodies suddenly froze.

The next second, their upper and lower bodies slowly separated along smooth cuts.

Blood shot into the sky like fountains!

"F-Fuck!"

"Bisected at the waist?!"

"One sword! Three of them! All instantly killed!"

"Ugh..."

A timid female Mage beside them immediately clung to the wall and vomited.

Instant kill!

Everyone was stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

The wild delight on Tan Lang's face instantly froze, replaced by endless horror.

This kind of attack...

Why could this man unleash such a terrifying attack?

Wang Jie was even more frightened out of his wits. He instinctively staggered several steps back and hid at the very rear of the crowd.

The smoke and dust slowly dispersed.

Only then did Yang Yu's figure gradually appear beneath everyone's horrified gazes.

He still stood quietly where he was. The brown armor on his body did not even have a single scratch.

Only his aura began rising once more.

[You have been afflicted with the "Slow" effect!]

[Set effect: Wild Heart has been activated!]

[Negative status detected. Your Strength has increased by 100%, and your Stamina has increased by 100%!]

An unprecedented power, like an erupting volcano, instantly flooded every part of his body!

He felt better than ever!

"Monster..."

No one knew who uttered those two words in a trembling voice.

The next moment, before everyone could recover from the shock of that heaven-shaking sword strike—

Yang Yu moved.

He lightly tapped the ground with his foot, and his entire body became a blurred afterimage, vanishing from where he stood in an instant!

"Where did he go?!"

"Behind us! He's behind us!"

"Oh no! Brother Jie!"

His target was not the enemies in front of him, but... Wang Jie at the back of the crowd!

Wang Jie only saw a blur before a chill of death enveloped his entire body.

That demon wearing the Wild Boar Mask had appeared before him like a ghost!

"No!"

Wang Jie let out a terrified scream. The reaction speed of a B-Rank Professional made him instinctively raise his arms to block.

But it was too late.

Yang Yu's hands, like iron pincers, seized both of his arms with perfect precision.

Then he twisted hard!

Crack! Crack!

Two bone-chilling sounds of shattering bones rang out.

Wang Jie's arms, along with the Wild Boar King Bracers on them, were forcibly torn from his shoulders by Yang Yu!

"Aaaahhh—"

A heart-rending scream finally burst from Wang Jie's throat.

Yang Yu did not pause in the slightest after doing that.

Without even looking at Wang Jie rolling on the ground and wailing, he swung another sword light with a backhand slash!

Screech!

The dazzling Sword Light swept through the crowd again like a scythe of death.

This time, its target was Tan Lang!

The members of the Tan Lang War Band were terrified out of their wits by such bloody brutality. Their formation collapsed into complete chaos.

As for Tan Lang himself, his eyes were filled with terror when he saw that Sword Qi.

He no longer had the time to check on his younger brother's injuries.

He hurriedly raised the massive axe in his hands before himself.

With a loud clang.

That sword light was simply too sharp!

The massive axe was cut in two!

The remaining Sword Qi viciously slashed across his legs!

"Aah!"

Tan Lang screamed as the portions of both legs below his knees instantly separated from his body, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

When the surrounding Professionals saw Tan Lang, who had always collected protection money, get cut down so easily—

They could hardly believe their eyes.

That had been far too easy!

As easy as stepping on an ant.

Only then did the others from Tan Lang's side finally react.

Panic spread wildly among the Tan Lang War Band members like a plague.

"Devil! He's a devil!"

"Run! Run now!"

"Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!"

Their War Band leader and his younger brother had been crippled in a single exchange. How were they supposed to fight?

The War Band of over a hundred people instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

Some turned and fled, while others knelt and begged for mercy. The scene descended into chaos.

Yang Yu watched those figures fleeing in all directions, his gaze beneath the mask cold as ice.

"Run?"

"Did I allow that?"

There was no way he could let them escape!

He was acting in self-defense, after all. He could... counterattack without limit!

The sword in his hand lit up once more.

Screech! Screech! Screech!

Several more sword lights shot out, as though they had eyes, precisely catching up to those running at the front.

The sword lights flashed, and without exception, all their legs were cleanly severed!

Screams rose and fell one after another.

In no more than a dozen seconds, the Dungeon entrance, which had merely been somewhat tense before, had completely turned into a hellish battlefield.

Blood dyed the ground red, and severed limbs lay everywhere.

Those who had still wanted to flee saw the miserable state of their companions and were scared out of their wits. One after another, their legs gave out as they knelt on the ground, trembling like sieves, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

The entire world seemed to have gone silent.

Only Tan Lang and Wang Jie were still wailing in agony on the ground.

Leng Yuan and Lu Fei in the distance had gone completely blank.

Their mouths hung open, their minds empty. They could only stare foolishly at that figure, like a god of slaughter descending into the world.

It really was him!

Those previous Sword Qi attacks had all been this man's doing!

He was far too strong!

Just one strand of Sword Qi had cut Tan Lang, together with his body, into two pieces.

What terrifying attack power.

She knew this skill very well. Sword Qi dealt half the damage of the close-range Blade Draw Slash.

Even so, it could defeat enemies above his level!

And that... style of doing things. He had to be a monster who had come out of the military!

The surrounding Professionals had long since been frightened out of their souls, unable to recover for a long time.

He could kill so many people without even changing expression.

He was practically an evil ghost that had crawled out of hell!

The reason Yang Yu had not immediately killed Tan Lang and Wang Jie, the two leaders—

Was because of... money.

After all, given the current situation, they should be more than willing to hand over all their money in exchange for their lives!

He was desperately short on money right now!

Thus, beneath everyone's fearful and unbelievably shocked gazes—

Yang Yu carried his still-dripping sword and walked step by step toward Tan Lang, who lay in a pool of blood.
