Chapter 462: Chapter 362: Their Own Ways to Start_1
"Quick! Load the arrows! Where’s the commander? Where did our commander go??" Within the wolf demon camp, a wolf demon clad in armor was bellowing loudly, as some lower-ranked wolf demons were hastily reloading the bolts for the recently used ballista.
Some wolf demons were tossing burning oil jars at Zheng Yichen, but they did so with trepidation, the move Zheng Yichen had just performed had caused them immense psychological pressure.
The initial enhancement from their wolf howls had been shattered under the immense pressure of that move, and they felt a pressure from Zheng Yichen as if a Supreme Demon had descended upon them.
Some wolf demons couldn’t help but think of fleeing, but those who tried to run and exposed their backs were shot dead by the enforcing archers.
The whole wolf demon camp was in disarray, but Zheng Yichen didn’t stop his cleansing of the wolf demons. Dealing with these wolf demons no longer offered him any improvement. As for additional special traits, those would be verified later; they wouldn’t immediately show themselves.
Right now, he was gathering strength, a large amount of blood energy converging towards him, continuously boosting him in the form of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin. Zheng Yichen was also paying attention to the battle situation on Liu Hongzhao’s side. The girl was performing well, not imitating the Blood Combustion Transform to Origin he used.
She merely gathered the blood energy, using it as fuel for the Blood Sacrifice Burst. For outsiders to forcibly use Blood Combustion Transform to Origin without his kind of special extraordinary abilities would easily contaminate oneself. The price for a single moment of power increase would be a permanent decrease in one’s potential peak performance.
It was an issue that no martial artist or cultivator pursuing the peak could tolerate.
Using it to offset the consumption of a Blood Sacrifice Burst was no problem, however. Blood Asura’s attacks during group battles worked like a snowball effect; once sufficient blood energy was accumulated, using the Blood Sacrifice Burst to launch a super-enhanced attack would then kill even more enemies and gather more blood energy.
As long as the enemies didn’t die out completely, the snowball would just keep rolling.
Zheng Yichen was leveraging his own uniqueness, ensuring that while the snowball effect was in motion, the snowball wouldn’t just roll downhill uncontrollably, but rather, it was within his control. The way Liu Hongzhao fought was like a snowball growing bigger without affecting the person rolling it, while he ensured that as the snowball grew, the person rolling it became stronger too.
Liu Hongzhao had no troubles on her side; the wolf demons couldn’t pose a threat. In the current battle, Liu Hongzhao would only grow stronger. What threatened her were the Skeleton ballista in the wolf demon camp. The aftermath of ’Dragon Head Rises’ had destroyed the platforms the wolf demons constructed.
Otherwise, they would have had aerial advantage by now, using those Skeleton ballista from the high ground to attack, and those ballistae had some kind of force enhancement. When the blood-colored charge burst forth, some of the ballistae were affected; the wolf demons around them were shaken to death, but the Skeleton ballista remained unscathed.
Those weapons needed to be cleared out as a priority.
Seeing Zheng Yichen approaching, the armored wolf demon couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye. He kicked aside a nearby wolf demon, reached a Skeleton ballista, and grabbed the massive weapon, aiming it at Zheng Yichen.
A gigantic Skeleton Crossbow Arrow, with a sonic boom, hurtled toward Zheng Yichen.
Zheng Yichen’s black spear lanced forward to meet the incoming Skeleton Crossbow Arrow. The blood dragon on the spear roared, exploding in unison with the Crossbow Arrow upon impact. Fragments of bone scattered everywhere with the blast, clearing out everything around Zheng Yichen.
Further away, some wolf demons were pierced by the flying fragments; the fragments were so powerful that they penetrated through more than a dozen wolf demons before getting stuck inside the body of the last one.
Ding—
Liu Hongzhao held her Supreme Demon Weapon like a shield at her side, the direction from which the shockwave came. Feeling the power feedback from the weapon’s collision, the red-dressed girl frowned slightly. Her position in the battle was quite far from Zheng Yichen’s.
As someone also practicing the Blood Asura martial arts, she understood its characteristics: strengthen through battle. Once one reaches a certain level, it’s best not to crowd together during battle, otherwise their martial arts could interfere with each other. If the relationship was good, one could actively avoid such problems, but doing so meant expending a bit more mental effort.
If they kept their distance, there would be no such worry.
With the distance between them, the blast and the fragments of the Skeleton ballista from Zheng Yichen’s side still reached her, colliding with her weapon with great force. She couldn’t help but wonder: could Brother Chang Qing, who was closer, be injured?
With this thought, her strikes became even sharper and more brutal. Wherever her sword wind passed, the wolf demons were torn to shreds, and after falling, nothing was left but withered bodies, their blood completely siphoned away. A faint glow emanated from the mark on the girl’s forehead.
The blood drawn towards her formed a Blood Sphere above her head, swiftly pulling all the blood in the vicinity to form a massive blood orb. Some wolf demons realized they couldn’t let Liu Hongzhao continue with her move.
They wanted to break the Blood Sphere, but the wolf demons that approached were promptly and neatly slain, and even the more formidable wolf demons that came later couldn’t bypass Liu Hongzhao to directly damage that Blood Sphere.
However, the Blood Sphere she had created was ultimately too conspicuous. Moreover, Liu Hongzhao didn’t have the kind of energy membrane that Zheng Yichen’s Burst Mode provided, and she couldn’t ignore some of the wolf demons’ Spell-like attacks either.
This gave the wolf demons an opportunity. One of the stronger wolf demons found a chance to get around Liu Hongzhao, and its blade-like wolf claw grasped the giant Blood Sphere. The Blood Sphere was immediately blasted apart, and the wolf demon revealed a ferocious grin, "Daring to use such a useless move??"
In his eyes, this was indeed a useless move, conspicuous and quite fragile. It might be powerful once completed, but it took too much time, time enough to first engage Liu Hongzhao, then shatter the Blood Sphere.
"This is not a move." Liu Hongzhao’s words made the wolf demon’s eyes widen. He realized something and roared as he charged at Liu Hongzhao, but the blood that splattered around from the destroyed Blood Sphere had already begun to surge. In his eyes, the blood from the Blood Sphere transformed into individual crimson whirlpools upon explosion.
The gentle breeze swiftly turned into the howling of a gale, and every drop of blood that flew out from the Blood Sphere became a blossoming ’Blood Blossom’, with tiny ’Blood Blades’ wreaking havoc within the area alongside the wind.
The wolf demon approaching Liu Hongzhao was frozen mid-air, its fur sliced off by the dense Blood Blades. While there were no visible cuts on its skin, blood continuously spilled out and merged into the encompassing ’Bloody Storm’.
"Such a strong killing aura." Observing the Bloody Storm near Liu Hongzhao, Diviner Huan Zhen exhaled softly. From their perspective, the area around Liu Hongzhao was showered with ’Demon Flowers’ descending from the sky, each one claiming the life of a wolf demon.
"Is this a Spell?" Wei Xue wondered with some uncertainty. He did not sense much of a Spell’s aura from this move, but it also didn’t resemble a regular martial arts technique, even if the Bloody Storm that bloomed after the Blood Sphere exploded was transforming alongside Liu Hongzhao’s attacks.
The move really seemed more like a Spell.
A territorial type Spell—within the reach of the Bloody Storm peppered with ’Blood Blossoms’, Liu Hongzhao’s silhouette was no longer clear. The blood only appeared after passing through certain areas, followed by the wind, but where the blood had traversed, those wolf demons no longer bore a hint of life.
"The killing intent is heavy, but the resentment is even heavier." Yi Nan observed the Bloody Storm. The wolf demons that died within the Bloody Storm were not only drained of blood, but their resentment and fear before death were also preserved. Even because this was Hell, some of the relatively intact wolf demon bodies had started to undergo necrosis.
But the necrotic wolf demons had barely managed to stand before being slashed apart by the encountered Blood Blossoms, to no avail.
The Blood Sphere was merely a decoy, a bait to lure the monsters, attracting the wolf demons to focus more on attacking Liu Hongzhao, giving her the opportunity to kill them on a larger scale.
"Is this her Demonic Abyss Seven Kills?" Zheng Yichen watched the Bloody Storm Liu Hongzhao had stirred with some confusion. The move looked like a wide-ranging Spell attack, yet he felt something familiar about it—wasn’t it the same method he was currently using?
On one hand, he was drawing blood to enhance his Blood Combustion Transform to Origin, and on the other hand, he was using Asura Battle Intent to provoke the wolf demons’ battle suits, putting them in a slightly frenzied state of combat while absorbing a great amount of demonic thoughts.
Zheng Yichen’s method of absorbing demonic thoughts was by having the enemies continuously generate them, whereas Liu Hongzhao’s approach was extraction. Utilizing extremely cruel methods of killing, she greatly amplified the wolf demons’ fear and resentment, extracting a substantial amount of demonic thoughts from them as they died.
By comparison, Zheng Yichen’s method of absorbing demonic thoughts seemed much more legitimate, which made him somewhat concerned whether Liu Hongzhao could control the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills or not.
He knew that every time he used Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, he would be mentally unstable for a while. How would Liu Hongzhao handle it?
Therefore, he began to intensify his own attacks. The several powerful wolf demons that were facing him head-on were entwined by the blood dragon swirling around his black spear. The giant blood dragon grabbed the wolf demons with its huge claws. The wolf demons tried to break free, but they felt a severe weakness overtaking their bodies.
Their lustrous black fur turned pale, and their strong muscles weakened and became powerless as the aura of death penetrated, and as members of the demonic tribe, they could ignore the effects of Hell’s environment, but not the direct influence of the death aura.
They were in Hell, but they were also living creatures. Moreover, Zheng Yichen had tried before—the aura of death could even kill undead creatures.
The wolf demons, as living beings, had no resistance to the more potent influence of the death aura. Weakened and powerless, they were crushed by the blood dragon. Zheng Yichen broke through the wolf demons’ siege and made his way to the location he had intended to go, which was the powerful ’heat source’ he had locked onto early with his thermal vision.
The Supreme Demon that seemed to be role-playing to lurk and hide.
