125: Destroy the city

Although Yi Xin was unwilling to participate in war, the tragedy unfolding before his eyes, coupled with the fact that it was monsters causing it and only ordinary citizens were suffering, meant he could not stand by.

Whoosh!

Yi Xin charged fiercely towards the Black Panther.

Qi Vortex Strike!

Qi swirled and gathered in Yi Xin’s hand, and he unleashed a strike from the side, hitting the Black Panther’s body.

Boom!

The Black Panther was sent flying, tumbled several times on the ground, and then stood up. Attacked, it lowered its body, a low growl emanating from its throat, and its purple eyes stared at Yi Xin.

Yi Xin turned his head to look around; it was complete chaos.

Fires, explosions, screams.

People fleeing for their lives, soldiers fighting, adventurers offering aid.

The entire city had fallen into great disorder.

“A Crevice! There’s a Crevice in the city!”

“How could this happen?!”

“How could a Crevice appear here?! Aren’t Crevices only supposed to appear outside?!”

“Damn it! Who knows?! Now’s not the time to discuss this!”

Yi Xin heard some voices and realized that the monsters appearing in the city were not a simple demonic beast siege, but rather a Crevice appearing inside the city?!

So, this Black Panther was a Crevice Monster?

Yi Xin looked at the Black Panther in front of him, which suddenly lunged towards him.

Yi Xin assumed the Immovable as a Mountain - Stance.

The Black Panther opened its gaping maw, simultaneously striking down fiercely with both claws.

Yi Xin seized the opportunity, abruptly stepped forward, raised both hands simultaneously, and struck out fiercely. Qi enveloped his hands, hitting the wrist joints of the Black Panther’s descending claws, batting them aside. At the same time, he leaned back and performed a high kick.

Bone Shattering Kick!

He delivered a powerful kick to the Black Panther’s chin.

Its gaping maw was kicked shut.

Its massive body leaned back, and its charging form lifted into the air.

“Haa~!” Yi Xin roared, qi gathering in his hands, glowing brightly.

Tiger Emperor Fist!

Yi Xin punched the Black Panther’s body heavily.

The immense power sent the Black Panther flying directly.

Boom! Boom! The Black Panther crashed into a house, its massive body and the force of the impact utterly demolishing the building.

“Is it dealt with…” Yi Xin looked at the Black Panther that had crashed inside. With this punch, even a monster of the same rank would have its internal organs shattered and die.

Yi Xin’s punch not only utilized qi but also penetrating force.

Various types of force were also powers mastered by martial artists.

Crash!

The Black Panther stood up from the ground, broken stones and wood chips sliding off its body.

“It’s fine after that?” Yi Xin looked at the Black Panther’s appearance; it seemed… completely unharmed? Or… can these Crevice Monsters not be dealt with in ordinary ways?

Yi Xin felt there must be something he didn't know about this situation.

The next moment, the Black Panther charged towards him again.

Just as Yi Xin and the Black Panther were fighting fiercely.

On a mountaintop outside Aona City.

A Black Robed Man, completely shrouded in black robes, stood there, overlooking the chaotic Aona City.

“Ah~ the transfer plan was very successful! The power of the Crevice…” The man muttered to himself.

At this moment, several figures appeared behind the Black Robed Man. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be from the Church, but… unlike the pure white of Church attire, their base color was pure black, and the pattern on the borders was dark red.

“How are things on the Osland Empire side?” the Black Robed Man asked.

“That side was also very successful, and these two empires are already preparing for war… Oh, and it seems the Church has noticed us,” the man in black said to the Black Robed Man.

“Heh~ It doesn’t matter… We want them to notice!” The Black Robed Man sneered, saying, “It won’t be long before the plan is realized… The entire continent will be overturned by us!”

…

“Overlord Exploding Roar Fist!”

Yi Xin roared, qi suddenly gathering in his hand, erupting through his growth-type gauntlet, one thought.

It unleashed an attack that utilized 150% of his qi, erupting with over three times the power.

A massive qi wave slammed into the Black Panther’s body.

The immense power completely tore it apart.

“Whew~” Yi Xin exhaled softly, finally having dealt with it.

Although its attack power wasn’t very strong, it was extremely troublesome… Yi Xin had to expend a great deal of effort to finally kill it with one move.

“These Crevice Monsters… are truly troublesome! I wonder how things are in other places…” Yi Xin thought, turning his head to look.

He found… the entire city had fallen into ruin, with corpses, blood, flames, and smoke everywhere…

Warriors still fighting, civilians fleeing for their lives.

There were many Crevice Monsters, and they were extremely troublesome.

Aona City was a second or third-tier city in the Kluoma Empire, the kind that was neither exceptional nor terrible.

Its city defenses were not very strong either.

Furthermore, the incident happened suddenly, with the Crevice appearing directly inside, under the constant attack of continuously spawning Crevice Monsters.

The entire city was plunged into panic and war.

In just a few short minutes, the city was gradually heading towards its end.

Yi Xin saw the city’s fate; he sighed helplessly.

He had to leave; if he didn’t, he might end up dying here himself… Yi Xin quickly rushed towards the outside.

Three days later.

Yi Xin heard about the events in another city: Lanshan City.

Aona City had become a dead city; the Crevice had disappeared, and with it, the Crevice Monsters.

What remained was a city of ruined walls and debris. It was said that nearly half of the population in that city had died…

Yi Xin shook his head slightly; his power was still too weak.

There was nothing he could do; he was utterly helpless.

Looking at the more than sixty thousand source points he gained due to that Crevice incident, Yi Xin shook his head helplessly.

And because the Crevice incident was sudden and unusual, both the Kluoma Empire and the neutral faction, the Church, paid special attention to it.

After all, a Crevice meant disaster for everyone.

What a pity, the house in that city was also gone… Yi Xin sighed, took a sip of wine. Fortunately, most of his belongings were in his “System Backpack.”

Having such a “storage” place was very convenient; it could be said that this was the most worry-free function of the system for him.

“Hello!” At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in Yi Xin’s ear.

Yi Xin turned his head to look. So big! No, so white! No, what a beautiful person!

The newcomer was a woman with long blonde hair, wearing an orange-yellow sleeveless deep V-neck cinched dress, high-heeled boots, and holding a glass of wine, standing beside Yi Xin.

Yi Xin noticed her pointed ears; she seemed to be an elf.

“Hello, is there something you need?” Although Yi Xin was momentarily stunned by her beauty, with his martial arts state of mind, he naturally remained unmoved and looked at her openly.
