I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 461: Chapter 361: Breaking Through_1

The strong wind blew, and those approaching wolf demons were annihilated in an instant. Supreme Demon servants, this type of creature from the demonic tribe, had various innate advantages over the human race, but facing Liu Hongzhao and without much defense, killing them was as easy as slaughtering chickens.

The wolf demon patrol team was wiped out so quickly that they couldn’t even send out an alarm, but after making their move, it wouldn’t be long before Zheng Yichen and his group were exposed. Without any hesitation, the fishing rod in his hand was covered with a black substance, and he charged directly towards the demonic tribe’s main camp ahead.

Real men should face things head-on. Sneak in? Forget it. Just his aura was different, not to mention he didn’t have a way to disguise his appearance. Projection camouflage could be an option, but a projection mainly couldn’t mimic something like an aura.

So thinking too much was less useful than just showing up and launching a frontal assault. His abilities were also suited for group battles; the more wolf demons that died, the more powerful he could become.

As Zheng Yichen began his assault, Liu Hongzhao followed closely behind, watching the team’s strongest combatant charge out. The Diviners had twitchy expressions but ultimately said nothing.

"He is truly... brave," said Yui Anhe after a moment of silence.

Yi Nan forced a smile, "What comes next is not for us to consider. Everyone, take care of yourselves."

Main character? They never were. They could help with the battle, but now these Diviners were all severely drained of energy, each one weak and incapacitated. Up against a few Supreme Demon servants was one thing, but charging directly into the main camp of Supreme Demon servants?

That wasn’t just bullying.

On Zheng Yichen’s side, however, the situation was different. As they charged in, the wolf demons also reacted. A tall wolf demon roared, inciting the howls of other wolf demons.

These howls quickly joined together to create an onslaught wave. Zheng Yichen swung the long spear in his hand to meet the impact wave head-on, bringing his charge to a halt, with two deep gouges appearing beneath his feet.

The strong feedback force made him shake his hand involuntarily before he continued to charge. According to Lilith’s records, these wolf demons had an ability to howl, which could greatly enhance their strength in a short time, and the sound could coalesce and strike the target with an impact.

The human race had encountered these wolf demons before, and these records were quite accurate—just like those about Asura Demons, whose multiple arms could be used flexibly and were adept at wielding various weapons.

Other demonic tribes each had their own characteristics too.

Now, having experienced the ’talent’ of the wolf demon clan, Zheng Yichen found it quite formidable. This type of wolf howling was similar to a first strike; with enough numbers, it could be used in group battles to eliminate the enemy’s vanguard.

To seize the initial advantage, and then... and then there was no after that.

Once Zheng Yichen broke into the camp, the wolf demons were thrown into disarray. Their close combat abilities weren’t weak, and their fur had strong defenses, but ’not weak’ and ’not low’ are relative terms. Against Zheng Yichen, the defenses of those from the demonic tribe were as fragile as paper.

Zheng Yichen’s spear pierced through a wolf demon, and the blood dragon, with its momentum unabated, wiped out the others behind it.

Blood mist filled the air, and before it even touched the ground, it converged towards Zheng Yichen. For him, the cycle of battle began, and after the collective howling, it seemed the wolf demons’ sense of fear and such emotions were eradicated. Even as fiercely as Zheng Yichen struck, they had no thought of retreating.

In less than half a minute, the number of wolf demons that died by Zheng Yichen’s hand exceeded the hundreds. Here, his killing efficiency was extremely high. As for group battles... from the very beginning to now, he had never encountered a shortage of them. When facing a cancerous planet, at that time, he was against a planet on the verge of coming fully alive.

The threat from the wolf demons here was not significant to him. Occasionally, some formidable wolf demons would get close to Zheng Yichen, swinging their claws or the weapons in their hands, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to him. However, their attacks failed to even break the air membrane around his body.

Some wolf demons knew spells or the like, with new howls seemingly amplifying a creature’s sense of fear and exerting additional suppression. However, the wolf demon trying this was utterly baffled, watching Zheng Yichen completely unmoved before he could react, as his head was pierced by a black spear.

The blood on the black spear turned more and more intense. After accumulating to a certain extent, Zheng Yichen jumped up, targeting the location with the densest number of wolf demons, which also made him the focus of their collective fire. Being in the air drew more attention; his leap was effectively challenging all the wolf demons present.

Wolf demons weren’t lacking in ranged attack methods. Although using bows and arrows was difficult due to the structure of their hands, they could utilize slings to throw stones, which were no weaker than arrows, and Zheng Yichen noticed some ’siege crossbows’ being moved into the distance.

They might not be siege crossbows; what Zheng Yichen saw was that these crossbows were an assembly of a multitude of skeletons. The types of bones were varied, and with that kind of combination, they displayed considerable intimidation. Frightening, and on closer inspection, one might realize the device was somewhat like a composite bow...

Over a dozen massive ’skeletal siege crossbows’ targeted Zheng Yichen, who felt a twitch in the corner of his eye. He rapidly descended; although he was very strong in this world, he did not want to test the power of those deadly weapons, abandoning the attempt to maximize the killing zone to seek safety instead.

Just find a suitable place.

As Zheng Yichen rapidly fell, an explosive sound erupted from above his head, the fierce gale shaking the protective qi film around his body.

"..." It was certain now, taking a direct hit from that thing would definitely spell disaster.

The moment he landed, Zheng Yichen thrust the long spear in his hand fiercely into the ground. An unlucky wolf demon that didn’t dodge in time was skewered on the spot, exploding into a cloud of blood mist. This mist was drawn into the black spear, accompanied by the deep crimson, booming into the ground.

As Zheng Yichen picked up the long spear that had pierced the ground, a huge bulge emerged from the earth. His arm muscles swelled to their limits, the strain causing veins to appear even on his face and neck.

With the long spear breaking through the soil, a tumultuous dragon head also burst forth from beneath, capturing the nearby wolf demons who were unstable due to the swelling ground in one fell swoop, leaving nothing but new clouds of blood mist under the dragon head’s crushing impact.

"Is this the ’Dragon Head Rises’ from the Sky Dragon Spear Technique?" Wei Xue’s eyes twitched slightly as he watched the enormous dragon head Zheng Yichen raised from the ground. Was it as he had said before? The Sky Dragon Spear Technique, to his knowledge, was a mid-tier martial arts technique.

Mid-tier can’t be said to be poor, much like those peerless wonder skills that naturally come with their own unique characteristics when practiced, granting practitioners certain traits nonexistent in ordinary people after a certain level of mastery.

But the Sky Dragon Spear Technique lacks such characteristics. Even at its highest level, it is just a spear technique and won’t endow any new traits to those who practice it. If this martial arts were to be top-tier, then at a minimum, it would generate some ’Dragon’s Might’ after extensive practice.

It’s not about transforming the practitioner into a dragon, but enabling them to materialize such an aura strong enough to terrify people with just their gaze.

The Sky Dragon Spear Technique doesn’t fall within that category, even though it’s related to ’dragons’.

Yet, Zheng Yichen’s usage of the Sky Dragon Spear Technique challenged Wei Xue’s perception. Without discussing the quality of the martial arts, he was able to wield such ’ordinarily mundane’ martial arts to this extent with raw power...

"He should learn more powerful martial arts." Regaining his senses, Wei Xue stated, if the Sky Dragon Spear Technique he considered mid-tier could unleash such power, then surely the top-tier martial arts would be even stronger.

"Learning martial arts requires time, let’s not talk too much about this kind of thing." Yi Nan appeared calm. During their brief conversation, the ascending dragon head wreaking havoc in the wolf demon camp had changed direction, becoming a descending dragon.

The dragon head crashed toward the ground, its bloody impact erasing the nearby wolf demons from existence. Those in close proximity were reduced to ashes, while those farther away, bleeding profusely, either died on the spot or lost their fighting capability instantly.

Yi Nan continued from a distance, "Good martial arts are important, but what’s more important is suitability."

Yi Nan was more familiar with the situation in the Dusk Territory—Zheng Yichen might not even be from their world. What was considered mid-tier spear technique on their side may not be ’mid-tier’ in Zheng Yichen’s origin.

If possible, he too wished to get in touch with the Dusk, but in his previous attempts, he had been rejected by the Dusk just like most others.

"But against the Supreme Demon... it’s good to widen one’s advantage. However, as you said, it’s too late for that now," Wei Xue nodded. In his view, when fighting a Supreme Demon, one couldn’t just make do. It was essential to let their own people develop to their full potential whenever possible and fill in every detail to the utmost.

That included martial arts.

In past battles against Supreme Demons, there were many Mages aiding as well.

In such large-scale battles, the Mages were the most appropriate to step in. They always had the upper hand in group fights. Although Martial Artists weren’t bad in such situations, the more the enemies, the less effective Martial Artists became compared to a Mage’s wide-reaching spells.

They could fight, but after such battles, their condition would deteriorate much quicker than that of Mages in a group fight.

However, it seemed there was no need to worry about that for now with Zheng Yichen’s output. His single move, ’Dragon Head Rises’, had nearly breached the wolf demon’s camp.

Elsewhere, although Liu Hongzhao didn’t unleash an entire attack wave resembling a spell like Zheng Yichen’s, she created a massive crimson storm. The Supreme Demon Weapon, supposedly heavy, was effortlessly wielded in her hands. Her method of attack, although different from Zheng Yichen’s, shared a striking similarity in some of its features.

It was like an increasing cascade of waves, one stronger than the last.
