But it was merely Wang Ye's gaze that instantly compelled the Fourth Grade Martial Warrior charging towards him to endure the potential backlash of hastily retracting their power, needing to withdraw their strength immediately.

In the moment they retracted their power, they wanted to flee!

Even though Wang Ye had not made a single move, they could sense, just from the look in his eyes, that Wang Ye had made a breakthrough just now.

A breakthrough to the realm of a Third Grade Martial Warrior.

And when Wang Ye made a breakthrough to the Third Grade Martial Warrior, no matter how deadly their attack was intended, from the next moment onward, they would be unable to deal with Wang Ye.

This was the gap between a Third Grade Martial Warrior and a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao, the very instant he broke through to a Third Grade Martial Warrior, looked at the things attacking him. In front of his body, he directly formed a barrier of Inner Strength, blocking all these things.

The sniper bullet, in the midst of being stopped by Wang Yao's Inner Strength, could not penetrate his energy barrier at all, and was instead completely blocked by it.

On Wang Yao's face was an expression of great joy.

He had made a breakthrough!

He had reached the realm of a Third Grade Martial Warrior!

Wang Yao cast his gaze upon the people frantically fleeing, a smile mixed on his face, he bellowed at them, "What are you afraid of? You helped me advance to a Third Grade Martial Warrior. I should be thanking you all thoroughly for this. Is there any need to run?"

"Thank?"

Ahead, the continually fleeing Fourth Grade Martial Warriors, some of them turned their heads to look at Wang Yao. Wang Yao wanted to thank them?

After all, what Wang Yao had just said was true. Indeed, it was because of them that he had managed to break through to the Third Grade Martial Warrior.

If not for them, Wang Yao probably would not have been able to make the breakthrough at all.

Therefore, in this situation, for Wang Yao to thank them seemed plausible to them.

However, the instant they turned around, Wang Yao's Liu Yun Sword burst forth with a powerful force, directly severing their heads.

Moreover, the force that decapitated them left a residue inside their bodies, and this lingering force finished off their physical forms in the subsequent moment!

Seeing this, Wang Yao's face revealed a trace of amusement.

Excellent!

The technique he had comprehended was very suitable for eradicating any trace of corpses.

With a single move, he finished off his opponents. Even if he didn't have the time to eradicate any trace of the bodies himself, the power his technique left in the enemies' bodies would help him do precisely that.

As for giving thanks?

Of course, he was thankful!

These people had helped him advance to a Third Grade Martial Warrior. As a good person, how could he not express his gratitude to them?

It's just that… his way of giving thanks was to let them experience the power of a Third Grade Martial Warrior and make them the first to witness the might of his newly comprehended technique.

Meanwhile, the people fleeing frantically would also glance back during their escape and upon seeing the scene behind them, they all felt a surge of fear.

The might Wang Yao had comprehended was truly terrifying.

With one move, at the beginning, it was only the head that separated from the body, but in the next second, both the person and the body were gone entirely.

It was as if they had never existed in this world at all.

These Fourth Grade Martial Warriors had previously encountered other Third Grade Martial Warriors and observed their power during those encounters.

However, no Third Grade Martial Warrior's power had ever been this terrifying.

With one strike, the person was completely obliterated, utterly erased from this world, leaving nothing behind.

While they were reflecting on this, they also cursed inwardly.

Idiots!

The people who had just turned their heads back were all idiots!

They couldn't fathom what they were thinking.

How could Wang Yao possibly thank them? If Wang Yao hadn't broken through to Third Grade Martial Warrior just now, they would have killed Wang Ye outright. To Wang Ye, they were mortal enemies.

And since they were mortal enemies, how could Wang Ye possibly have thanked them just now?

Of course it was impossible!

They fled desperately, but their speed was far too slow compared to Wang Ye's.

Wang Ye's speed was inherently faster than theirs, and now, his realm had already reached that of a Third Grade Martial Warrior.

So naturally, these people could never be a match for Wang Ye in terms of speed.

Thus, it wasn't long before Wang Ye caught up with them.

After dealing with a few Fourth Grade Martial Warriors, Wang Ye looked toward the location where the three snipers had been stationed.

Although Wang Ye had been fighting these Martial Warriors all along, he had managed to memorize the positions from which the snipers had shot and determined that there were three of them based on the sound of gunfire.

"Out of the eight Fourth Grade Martial Warriors, three were fourth-rank peak martial artists, plus there were three snipers. To kill me, these people were really willing to pay a heavy price," Wang Ye thought to himself, as he felt a sense of reflection and continued to rush toward the direction of the three snipers.

Since they had already taken action, let these three snipers stay here then.

Very soon.

Wang Ye had also dealt with the three snipers. Even though they had all run in different directions, and their speed at hiding was quite impressive during their escape, to Wang Ye, who had just advanced to a Third Grade Martial Warrior, these snipers' little tricks were just like child's play.

There was simply no way they could evade Wang Ye.

Now, after having dealt with these people, Wang Ye returned to the Sword Pointer Waterfall once more, contemplating the cascading waterfall, feeling that his grasp of that power had once again deepened.

It was in this moment that Wang Yao finally understood what it meant when they say 'a mountain is not a mountain, water is not water.'

At this time, the waterfall before Wang Yao was no longer just a waterfall, but had transformed into something else altogether.
