Chapter 362: Chapter 286: The Problem Lies with You_1

Blackening increases strength by tenfold? But on what basis was the adversary blackening, just because of excessive emotions, demonic thoughts too powerful? Hmm, that’s possible. After all, the energy level in this world is very high, and it is feasible that such intense emotions could cause this.

The charging Bai Liming wore a twisted smile on his face as his right hand condensed a black Light Blade that he swung toward Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen swung his long spear, and it clashed with the black Light Blade. The blade left a deep, long cut on the surface of the blood dragon, and the dragon’s shadow on the spear grasped the black Light Blade. Zheng Yichen then kicked Bai Liming, sending him flying.

Bai Liming, who was knocked back, landed on the ground. He glanced at his chest where Zheng Yichen’s kick hadn’t harmed him, thanks to the Black Light shield that blocked the strike. Yet in terms of strength, he was still at a disadvantage—he wasn’t strong enough.

The young man’s malice in his eyes intensified. He quickly got moving. Since his strength was insufficient, he decided to accumulate more power first!

He rushed toward another ally. Their Light type power meant nothing to him. As soon as they were touched by him, they would be corrupted and assimilated into a stronger Black Light.

The warrior who saw Bai Liming coming didn’t care that he was a prodigious young man. Crossing his hands, he fired a laser beam-like column of light at Bai Liming. This move could easily flatten a mountain, but Bai Liming simply ignored the attack.

The column of light swiftly darkened, and a black hand caught the warrior’s crossed hands, causing him to show a pained expression. His body quickly turned black, and the power that belonged to him was rapidly assimilated into the blackness, then utterly plundered.

When Bai Liming was about to strike his next target, Zheng Yichen intercepted him, "Enough, enough, let’s end this battle now."

Zheng Yichen definitely didn’t want to indulge some foul kid going through blackening, nor watch him continuously kill allies to strengthen himself, and then turn to deal with him. Considering the strong jealousy the other party had shown toward him, Zheng Yichen figured that even if he were to escape the combat, the other party would relentlessly pursue him.

Not to mention he would seek stronger targets before coming back after leveling up to face him. Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure how strong that brat could become, but he didn’t want to leave behind such trouble.

"Shut up! What right do you have to interrupt me! You’re next!!" Bai Liming roared at Zheng Yichen, wanting to escape the fight once more. But Zheng Yichen didn’t give him that chance. With a sweeping motion of his long spear, a ghastly green flame appeared in the sky. This flame formed a rain of fire, completely covering the surroundings and creating a circle of fire.

Bai Liming swung out a black Light Blade that barely cut an opening in the ring of fire. However, the flames at the edge quickly filled back in, and the strike, like cutting water, failed to fully break the circle.

Unable to break free, Bai Liming grew increasingly agitated. He wanted to gain sufficient power first and then brutally kill Zheng Yichen, not be stuck in this disadvantageous situation.

Screaming with rage, he turned and charged at Zheng Yichen, unleashing full firepower while seeking a chance to escape. Yet, as he drew close to Zheng Yichen, he noticed the expression on Zheng Yichen’s face had vanished, replaced by an indescribable indifference.

Furthermore, Bai Liming saw Zheng Yichen’s weapon had changed too. The long spear turned into a giant saber, and although the blood dragon was no longer visible on it, the weapon felt even more threatening.

Not only that, but Bai Liming also felt an intense sense of aversion emanating from Zheng Yichen. Was it not just because the opponent looked younger and was stronger than him, but also because after undergoing Demonization, Zheng Yichen was purer, too??

This realization made Bai Liming’s inner turmoil even more chaotic. Crushed at every turn, he had already forsaken all his honor to undergo Demonization, yet even in this aspect, Zheng Yichen managed to surpass him? Unbearable.

"Ahhh—Die!!"

Bai Liming’s hands spewed forth black beams of light, concentrating all his power for a full burst. Abandoning thought, his only intent was to kill Zheng Yichen. The intersecting black beams tore through the earth, breaking the fire circle and turning the region black once more.

Blacker than the darkest night.

Within this utter darkness, the warriors targeting Zheng Yichen felt a great discomfort. Some of them showed visible black spots on their bodies, and those who had been gravely injured couldn’t withstand it...

In the heart of the black column’s explosion, the destructive power collided head-on with Bai Liming’s all-out attack. Cutting through as if splitting bamboo, the giant saber pierced Bai Liming’s black shield, transfixing his body, draining his blood, and then Hellfire burned Bai Liming to ash.

The surrounding darkness returned to normal night. Some of the local powerhouses held off the corruption of the darkness with their own strength, while others went utterly mad. For those mad powerhouses, Zheng Yichen took them down one by one, incidentally absorbing the demonic thoughts they emitted.

The ones who hadn’t gone mad watched Zheng Yichen who, with struggling eyes, was actively resisting the deep influence of demonic thoughts. Demonic thoughts profoundly affected him, and while he remained himself, his style of doing things changed. He wanted to control demonic thoughts while using Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, not to be deeply affected by them. The fact that he hadn’t slaughtered all the sane ones yet was a result of his resistance against the profound influence of demonic thoughts. That was the situation for now, but once they went mad, he would still act without hesitation.

Zheng Yichen also saw some people who were not much affected; they planned to escape, but before they could get far, he chased after them one by one, chopping off their limbs and throwing them back, incidentally cleansing some of the native warriors who could not withstand the darkness.

As for those native warriors who were still desperately fighting against the madness, Zheng Yichen chose to watch from the sidelines. At his feet lay the dismembered non-native Boundary Breakers; the dark power had a very strong influence on the natives, not just because of their physical constitutions but also due to the type of powers they wielded.

The Boundary Breakers infiltrated in this world were also using Light type powers, but it seemed like an ability they obtained later and not their main power, so the impact on them was not severe, which also became an important criterion for selecting them.

There might have been mistakes, but... what did that have to do with him? Those people attacked him, so essentially, they were all enemies.

"Kill me!!" A warrior covered in black spots stared at Zheng Yichen; he could feel his sanity slipping. When he came here, he was prepared to die in battle, but he never expected that his end would come by the hands of his own people.

The power that turned light into Black Light was like a specialized virus, targeting their power. Once affected, even if you resisted with all your might, it would only delay the time of Demonization.

Rather than turning into a madman and then being slain by this alien world invader, he preferred to die while his consciousness was still clear!

Whoosh—

The giant saber glided across the other’s neck, and the Blood Asura inner force instantly scattered the last bit of vitality in the head, while the blood spouting from the body was absorbed in its entirety.

Zheng Yichen didn’t speak but looked towards the others with a clear message... who else?

Indeed, there were others, but instead of giving in to slaughter, they charged at Zheng Yichen before they went completely mad. Like others with dignity, they did not want to become lunatics to be killed; dying in battle was somewhat more acceptable to them.

Soon, there were quite a few new heads at Zheng Yichen’s feet. He turned his gaze towards the remaining native warriors who were still struggling against the effects of the dark power; they were also those among the natives least affected.

"Why, why are they not affected?" A warrior with the least black spots on his body asked with difficulty. Those who had reached the Three Glory level—apart from Bai Liming who had been killed by Zheng Yichen—all had sufficient experience and insight. The difference between those who had their limbs chopped off and themselves had raised suspicions.

If everyone was the same, then why were some unaffected? Was it a difference in physical constitution? Maybe, but without the influence of Asura Battle Intent, he had begun to recall the details he’d previously overlooked; his allies had used methods in battle that he had never seen before...

He couldn’t be certain if those people had issues, but some things deserved extra doubt.

"They are Boundary Breakers."

"Boundary Breakers..." The questioning warrior showed confusion. "Aren’t the Boundary Breakers the Dusk mercenaries?"

Seeing that Zheng Yichen had no intention of explaining further, his expression grew increasingly ugly. Perhaps... they really had made a mistake?

His emotions began to stir as he thought of this, and the suppressed black spots on his body rapidly expanded. The warrior then roared, releasing all of his Light type power that had not yet been contaminated. This power landed on a few of his teammates nearby, forming a barrier that suppressed the black spots on their bodies.

As his power was depleted, he instantly went mad. Just as he was about to attack and kill those few allies, a giant saber rung out from behind before arriving first, taking him away.

The native warriors whose black spots were temporarily controlled gasped for air and glared at Zheng Yichen. They knew what Zheng Yichen did was not wrong, but that didn’t mean they could accept his actions. Immediately, some wanted to stand up and continue to fight but were held back by their companions: "Save the others first; too many have died here! We need to find those who are compromised!"

The Three Glory warriors who had died there represented half of the world’s high-end combat strength; the rest were distributed in other areas to maintain order.

Engaging with Zheng Yichen at this point would be irrational, even if many comrades had perished at his hands. But if their side had problems...

Since they couldn’t take down Zheng Yichen, a knowledgeable party, they’d have to acknowledge their mistake even if they confirmed it. The priority was to quickly save people, lest the rest go mad, causing Zheng Yichen to ’chop vegetables’ as he methodically eliminated the survivors.

They also needed to spread the message. A swath of light characters emerged in the sky, visible even from afar. This message was not about Zheng Yichen’s combat abilities but about the issue of Bai Liming’s ’Demonization.’ That Black Light power that could affect their abilities was too much of a restraint on them!
