My Crazy Upgrade System

Yi Tianyun’s killing intent terrified everyone, scaring the bandits so badly they pissed themselves. When had they ever seen such a terrifying God of Slaughter walk in? With just a single slash, he had killed their Hall Master Level leader, effortlessly cleaving him in two.

Yi Tianyun immediately charged. Despite wielding such a massive axe, he moved like a gust of wind, sprinting forward. He unleashed a vicious slash, and the arc of light that shot out from the axe’s edge was enough to sweep away everything in its path.

’If one slash isn’t enough, then I’ll use two!’

"AHHHH, RUN!"

"A demon! An absolute demon! We have to run!"

They descended into madness, turning tail to scatter in all directions. But their speed was no match for Yi Tianyun’s attacks. With each flash of cold light, they collapsed to the ground, never to move again, transforming into experience points and Madness Value that flooded into Yi Tianyun’s mind.

In the blink of an eye, the reek of blood filled the air. All who had been standing were now on the ground. The only ones left were a few scattered, wounded men, who had been lucky enough to avoid being cleaved in two.

Just then, a woman covered in scars ran out from one of the collapsed houses. She had hastily wrapped a bedsheet around herself, her face a mask of terror and humiliation. When she saw Yi Tianyun and Lian, she froze.

"Lian..."

"Menghua?" Liu Menglian stared, stunned to see the woman before her.

At that moment, someone suddenly grabbed Menghua, choking her and dragging her backward. It was none other than one of the bandits who had luckily survived the fatal blow. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly took Menghua hostage, his blood-soaked hand pressing against her throat and instantly staining her neck red.

"D-don’t move! If you come any closer, I’ll kill her!" the bandit shouted, his face pale. He held a short sword to Menghua’s throat.

"Don’t do anything reckless!" Liu Menglian’s heart tightened, and she held up a hand, signaling for him to stay calm.

"Don’t worry about me! Sir, just kill them! Avenge me! Avenge the other villagers!" Tears streamed down Menghua’s face. Since being captured, she had suffered constant humiliation, and her spirit had already shattered.

"Bitch, shut your mouth!" The bandit clamped a hand over Menghua’s mouth to silence her. He was terrified that Yi Tianyun would actually ignore Menghua’s life and kill him with a single slash. He didn’t want to die, so his only choice was to use her as a shield.

"Mmmph, mmmph..." Menghua, completely unafraid of the blade at her throat, began to struggle, trying to pry the bandit’s hand from her mouth.

"Menghua..." Tears streamed down Liu Menglian’s face. This was her childhood friend. To think things had come to this... She wanted to get closer, but she couldn’t.

Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind rush past her. The next moment, the bandit was sent flying backward with a bloody hole in his head. Yi Tianyun’s arm was still in a throwing motion; he had clearly flicked another pebble.

"No one will escape, and none of you will be harmed in the slightest," Yi Tianyun said, patting Liu Menglian’s shoulder. "Lian, I’ll leave things here to you. I’ll handle the rest."

This area was completely cleared. All that remained were the bandits on the other side of the mountain, where the Village Chiefs were.

As he charged forward, a powerful killing intent washed over him from a distance. Three figures were rushing toward him. None of them were weak; the weakest was at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Refining Stage, while their leader had reached the second level of the Core Formation Stage. ’To think a small stronghold like this has a Core Formation Stage expert,’ Yi Tianyun thought. ’How unexpected.’

"Who dares to trespass!" The one who shouted was the Village Chief of Treasure Dragon Stronghold, Long Batian!

These three were the three Village Chiefs of Treasure Dragon Stronghold: the leader, Long Batian, and the other two, Dragon Soul Heaven and Longquan Tian—the three brothers of the Long Clan.

Long Batian: Cultivation at the second level of the Core Formation Stage. Weapon: Longquan Blade (High-Grade Spiritual Artifact). Wears Medium-Grade Spiritual Artifact Armor. Comprehensive Combat Power: 18,000. Weakness: Left foot, previously injured. Focusing attacks there will make him easier to defeat. Potential drops upon kill: Buddha Slaying Palm (High-Grade Human Level Martial Arts), Wind Heaven Blade...

Dragon Soul Heaven: Cultivation at the first level of the Core Formation Stage. Weapon: Heaven-Dominating Blade (High-Grade Spiritual Artifact). Wears Medium-Grade Spiritual Artifact Armor. Comprehensive Combat Power: 16,000. Weakness: Chest. Fierce attacks will easily break his guard. Potential drops upon kill: Buddha Slaying Palm, Wind Heaven Blade...

Longquan Tian: Cultivation at the eighth level of the Spirit Refining Stage. Weapon: ...

Detailed data on all three was listed out. They all wielded greatswords of the High-Grade Spiritual Artifact Level, and the armor they wore was impressive as well, reaching the Medium-Grade Spiritual Artifact Level.

This surprised Yi Tianyun. ’I thought in a remote place like this, the strongest would be at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Refining Stage. But not only is there someone at the Core Formation Stage, they also have quite a few good weapons. This is truly unexpected.’

’Who knew they could get so rich hiding out here? The surrounding villages are all poor and run-down. Where did all the money come from?’

"The one who’s come to take your lives!" Yi Tianyun shot forward like a sharp glint of light. ’I don’t even need to activate Madness Mode. The Attribute bonuses from my gear set are enough to insta-kill them!’

WHOOSH! He charged, hoisting the giant axe onto his shoulder. His rapid sprint left a trail of deep footprints, pressed into the ground by the weapon’s immense weight. Though the axe was heavy, his speed was not hindered in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, he was upon them, swinging the giant axe in a vicious downward chop.

’I don’t need any Martial Arts. Just the power of this weapon and my own Attributes are enough to sweep everything away.’

"Fall back!"

The insane power terrified all three of them. Long Batian scrambled to retreat, but Longquan Tian, the weakest, was too slow. The sweeping axe easily cut him in half at the waist. Longquan Tian let out a bloodcurdling scream and collapsed. The tough armor he wore couldn’t block the terrifying arc of light from the blade; he was still sliced clean in two.

"Ding! Successfully killed Longquan Tian. Obtained 32,000 Experience Points, 800 Madness Value. Obtained Buddha Slaying Palm, Wind Heaven Blade!"

"Third Brother!!"

Seeing this, the two remaining brothers roared, their hearts torn with grief as uncontrollable rage surged through them.

"You bastard! I’ll kill you!" Dragon Soul Heaven roared, swinging his Heaven-Dominating Blade in a vicious chop. A berserk aura exploded from him, taking the form of a fierce tiger that pounced toward Yi Tianyun.

A glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes as he swung his axe to meet the attack. A flash of cold light shot out. Dragon Soul Heaven’s Heaven-Dominating Blade was sent flying, and he was thrown back along with it. By the time he hit the ground, both of his arms had been shattered, and a deep gash was carved into his chest.

The Soul Artifact Level Chaotic Celestial Saint Axe was simply too domineering. A casual swing could unleash an overwhelmingly powerful blade arc, utterly without equal!
