Chapter 516: Chapter 397: Is There Something Wrong with Someone?_1

"Why do I feel like I’m about to die again?" Zheng Yichen looked at some Devourers moving in the distance, whose numbers were increasing by the moment. Most of them could be considered as mere cannon fodder, but their relentless numbers were an advantage.

They all came directly through the Sky Pillar, which put a great deal of pressure on Zheng Yichen. A world where the enemy could keep coming for reinforcements was, in some sense, more troublesome than the Boundary Breaking Faction.

Boundary Breakers always carried out missions in small teams, whereas the Devourers represented an entire world converging. Of course, there were pros and cons. In an evenly matched battle, Devourers could accumulate more advantages, and when bullying the weak, they could pursue their victory even further.

However, if they encountered someone stronger, they might end up crashing without even a chance to flee.

The Devouring Faction was already continuously deploying reinforcement to deal with him alone, and it didn’t rule out that among them were very strong Devourers.

For example, the one who had just released the Sky Pillar lightsaber, whose attack left a mark on the ground that exceeded the range of a motorcycle’s measurement.

"Stop him quickly!!"

The cannon fodder Devourers formed an array, intercepting Zheng Yichen from afar. Some tried to engage in close combat, but they were slain before they could get close to Zheng Yichen. The strength these expendable Devourers displayed was truly mediocre in his eyes.

Even if the environmental level was high, which could enhance those who came here, not everyone was top-tier. The weak, even in such an environment, would grow stronger, but according to the ratio of strength, they still remained weak.

Wielding the black spear, a storm erupted from the ground, sweeping up all the Devourers in front of him. Those Devourers desperately released a layer of defense, which crumbled in less than two seconds, and the Devourers inside were screaming as they were pulled into the storm.

Zheng Yichen stuffed a Sky Pillar root into his mouth, and the returning wind gathered all the blood qi in the air back to him.

A Devourer near the Sky Pillar frowned slightly as he watched the Blood Sphere disappear beside Zheng Yichen: "These vampires are really filthy."

Although their dispatched cannon fodder included normal Devourers, there were also abnormal ones—those were modified cannon fodder specifically designed to deal with enemies with bloodsucking abilities. Their blood was filled with lethal pathogens and a large number of mutation-inducing agents.

At the same time, their blood lacked substantial nutrients, so even those who relied on blood could not benefit much from it. Instead, it could adversely affect them. Zheng Yichen, according to intelligence, possessed high mutation resistance and could ignore those factors. But in his view, plundering such pathogen-rich blood was quite filthy.

As for Zheng Yichen, he didn’t care much about that. Even if the blood was filled with pathogens and mutagenic factors, his bloodsucking wasn’t about stuffing blood directly into his mouth, but instead transforming it into another factor that benefited himself.

A mosquito leg is still meat. As long as he could obtain enough blood, he could maintain the state of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin for an extended period, further enhancing his combat prowess.

During battle, he was very economical with resources.

"Withdraw these cannon fodder, switch to zombies," said the Devourer. They were buying time and also conducting additional tests to gauge how high Zheng Yichen’s limits were. It turned out that the information provided by the Boundary Breakers regarding this aspect was absolutely accurate.

This guy’s resistance was just too strong. He had absorbed so much problematic blood and yet seemed unscathed, becoming even stronger.

Since that was the case, they might as well use entities that Zheng Yichen couldn’t feed on.

"?" After those cannon fodder Devourers howled as they transformed into zombies, Zheng Yichen was stunned. "You’ve got to be kidding me??"

He had no interest in zombie blood, or rather, any blood that had lost its vitality was enough to make him feel sick. Toxins could affect blood, but after repeated testing, he found they would impact it but usually not affect his own condition.

The reason he felt terrible was mainly that some toxins were too potent, completely stripping the vitality contained in the blood, so when he extracted such dead blood, he felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

Zombies were such entities... It was best not to expect their blood to be normal, unless they were in a special state. Although zombies, if their blood was filled with vitality, Zheng Yichen was going to show them some cruelty.

Beings like ghouls were also similar, and some ghouls were even easier to deal with than zombies. To others, ghouls might seem like moving corpses, but depending on the type of ghoul, Zheng Yichen could make different choices.

There was no need to mention ghouls with rotting blood, but some ghouls mutated, and their blood, although full of viruses, was not dead. The blood of strong and vigorous ghouls could even be of higher quality than that of normal humans.

However, the zombies that Zheng Yichen encountered now were those emanating an aura of death.

He lowered the black spear he had raised, and then a ghostly green fire cloud appeared in the sky. Firebolts fell from the sky, and the impact of their explosion upon hitting the ground created a firestorm.

But the fiery cloud did not last long before it was dispersed by a shockwave from the Sky Pillar. He glanced at the magic array formation surrounding the Sky Pillar; the quality of the Devouring Faction this time was far greater than the last encounter, or perhaps this world was more important to them, prompting such a significant investment.

This time, however, the enemy did not employ the interception method from before, which left Zheng Yichen feeling slightly uneasy. If possible, he really didn’t want to achieve victory through death anymore; who knows if using serpent’s exuvia too many times would permanently turn him into a child.

Let’s speed up then!

Zheng Yichen’s speed suddenly increased, and a blood dragon emerged on his long spear. The gigantic dragon head merged with the speeding motorcycle, shattering any incoming attack and weakening the protective intercepts in its path.

The female Devourer who was preparing furrowed her brow, "This won’t do, there’s not enough time."

"It’s just the locking of space, it’s taking too long," another Devourer said with dissatisfaction. From Zheng Yichen’s arrival to now, they had sacrificed a lot of cannon fodder. Cannon fodder was meant to be consumed, but if it did not achieve its purpose of attrition, it would be a sunk cost.

Moreover, Zheng Yichen quickly realized something was amiss and began to accelerate.

The enemy’s purpose was very clear—they were after the Sky Pillar. If they let him touch it, then the Sky Pillar might be destroyed. As to whether a Proxy Agent possessed such power, they chose to speculate with the worst in mind.

"The environment of this world is high, locking space is not so easy. If the lock isn’t strong enough, he’ll definitely be able to escape!" the female Devourer huffed, "Instead of watching here, why not do something!"

"It has already started," the Devourer said, his figure gradually vanishing.

Zheng Yichen saw several unusual heat sources closing in; the fastest of them shattered the blood dragon in an instant. It was a fierce saber light that, after destroying the blood dragon, continued toward Zheng Yichen without losing momentum.

The falling saber light slashed down on the black spear. The surface of the black spear shattered, revealing the fishing rod underneath. The edge of the saber light twisted slightly, and as Zheng Yichen swung the fishing rod, part of the saber light was twisted apart, creating an opening. With that flaw, the once flawless saber light became fragile.

The shattered saber light dispersed, leaving marks on the ground where it fell.

"Hmm??" The attacking Devourer stared at Zheng Yichen in surprise. Before the second attack could be launched, a ghostly green fire enveloped the surrounding environment and divided the swiftly approaching heat sources; some were outside the reach of the Hellfire, others were trapped within its embrace.

The flames that emerged along with the distorted space’s gale-force winds produced a firestorm that changed the complexions of the Devourers caught within. They used all their might to resist the engulfing firestorm.

The saber-wielding Devourer cut through the surrounding Hellfire, and the sluggish feeling in his hand made him furrow his brows tightly. The killing power of the spatial distortion carried by Zheng Yichen’s attack was not excessive, but it was still a distortion of space.

When his saber hit the traces of spatial distortion, the trajectory of the blade became hard to control. The faster the attack, the more significant the interference, which was much more challenging than practicing saber techniques in flowing water.

But this was also an opportunity...

The saber-carrying Devourer’s eyes lit up. His slashes could follow the flow of water, producing perfect attacks without affecting the changes in the current. Such practice no longer satisfied him.

The distortions brought by the current winds, why couldn’t they be seen as an alternative type of flow?

If his attacks could smoothly pass through and cut open these spatial distortions, then his saber techniques would significantly improve and break through. These were attacks that interfered with space—an opportunity rarely encountered. Now that the chance presented itself, how could he miss it?

The saber-carrying visitor stared intensely at Zheng Yichen, noticing how he held a gun in one hand and a saber in the other, his brow furrowing slightly. To others, Zheng Yichen’s handling of the saber seemed fine, but as someone specialized in saber techniques, there were many shortcomings evident in Zheng Yichen’s posture.

It was almost unbearable to look at!

The saber was of good quality, but the man wielding it was lacking.

Of course, as a Proxy Agent, Zheng Yichen was not careless. After slashing through the encroaching flames around him, the saber-carrying visitor quickly approached Zheng Yichen, aiming a slash at his left hand. If he couldn’t wield the saber well, then he should not hold it at all.

His weapon touched the blood-colored Qi membrane coating Zheng Yichen, the intense lag forcing the visitor to exert more strength. As the intelligence described, the protective level of this Qi membrane was very high, and it also granted the user additional resistance.

Only an attack strong enough could break through!
