Chapter 729: Chapter 543 Be Prepared to Pay the Price When You Come_1

"Is it this sturdy?" Zheng Yichen was shocked to see his own palm bleeding from the rebound damage. The Army Decimating battle saber’s cutting force field combined with the spatial distortion, his Burst Mode, and Blood Sacrifice Burst had failed to blast through the protective layer, which was quite outrageous.

It was impossible for him to operate this thing with technique, so he would just have to use even stronger attacks!

He took a deep breath.

The blood in Zheng Yichen’s body began to heat up and evaporate. Through Blood Combustion Transform to Origin, the consumed blood erupted with even greater power like high-pressure steam.

The crimson slash struck down on the town’s protection, adding a substantial blood-colored trace from the cut that momentarily paused the intense battles elsewhere. Whether it was the Dusk mercenaries or the Boundary Breakers, they stared in astonishment at the shattered defense.

The protective barrier that had been untouchable for the Dusk mercenaries was now so easily broken?

Well, it only looked easy. If it were truly simple to break, they wouldn’t have been held up until now.

"The opportunity has come, charge!"

Some Dusk mercenaries immediately escaped the combat and rushed into the town. The damage to the town’s protection was extensive, and fragments like shards of glass still floated everywhere in the air.

The Oath Keepers associated with the Boundary Breaking Faction desperately tried to block them. Some truly didn’t want to resist, but bound by their Oaths, they were compelled to do so; failing to stop the mercenaries meant death.

One of the formidable Boundary Breakers who were fighting other Dusk mercenaries was also taken aback, his gaze filled with surprise as he looked at that remaining bloody slash. One of them swiftly caught the same look of bewilderment on his opponent’s face.

He suddenly realized something, "It’s the Proxy Agent, don’t wait any longer, use the ultimate weapon."

"Don’t think about escaping!" Seeing the two Boundary Breakers trying to leave, the two Dusk mercenaries immediately intercepted them. They also realized the Proxy Agent had entered the fray and, of course, they could not let such powerful foes escape.

Although they were reluctant to see the arrival of the Proxy Agent, he was already here, so they aimed to secure at least a baseline advantage.

They held nothing back and launched their full power. The strength they had reserved was meant to eventually break through the town’s defenses, but that was no longer necessary – it was time to eliminate the two Boundary Breakers!

These two Boundary Breakers were also very powerful, and defeating them would yield additional merit points.

After a brief pause, the battle intensified even more.

Inside the town, the moment Zheng Yichen entered, he felt something was off. It was incredibly oppressive here, not only suppressing power but also exerting immense suppression on life itself. Some of the Dusk mercenaries hadn’t even had the chance to do anything before they lost their ability to fight.

"..." Are you guys this useless?

Zheng Yichen’s eyes twitched slightly. Although the ones who lost their fighting ability directly were the weaker mercenaries, the rest of the Dusk mercenaries were still okay, but their fighting ability was impacted.

This unknown suppression even affected Zheng Yichen, directly acting on his lifeform level, reducing his condition by... let’s say, 10%.

For him, this level of impact was quite significant. The Great World always had new tricks up their sleeves. Scanning his surroundings, Zheng Yichen saw many civilians within the town.

He was prepared and took out a magic tool. The radiance emitted by this item penetrated the buildings and formed a layer of protective film over the ordinary people. His thermal vision and Life Perception let him distinguish between ordinary people and those hiding their strength.

This served as protection but also as a special kind of marker.

As for the effect that suppressed lifeform levels, he currently had no better solution and had to withstand it with his own resilience.

However, the Boundary Breakers seemed unaffected in such an environment. To counter this, Zheng Yichen activated the Eye Pupil of Life, and under this giant eye’s gaze, the Dusk mercenaries felt a special enhancement.

The Dusk mercenaries here were all veterans, and once they realized they had been strengthened, they quickly understood the ’principle’ behind this enhancement. The more intense their fighting spirit, the more noticeable the boost became.

"An enhancement to Life Force, huh... But does this Life Force feel a bit fake?" One of the Dusk mercenaries swung out a vine that immediately coiled around a closing Boundary Breaker. Despite the latter’s struggle, the vine demonstrated formidable vitality.

Soon, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Even a somewhat fake Life Force could be used for casting spells, and as this Life Force increased, their resistance to the environmental suppression of their lifeform level also improved.

Yet, some realized that this enhancement had a relatively lower effect on calmer individuals, while those whose emotions could be easily stirred up showed greater Life Force when their emotions erupted more powerfully.

Moreover, the fighting Dusk mercenaries wisely avoided the ordinary people protected by the shield. This device originated from the Proxy Agent’s hand; attacking those civilians would be like slapping the Proxy Agent’s face.

As long as those people don’t take action, it’s fine. Oh, some are itching to take action, but the Dusk mercenaries discovered that these light shields are bidirectional; external attacks can’t break through, nor can attacks from within.

Even those who secretly carry weapons and try to shoot find it futile.

"No wonder he’s a big shot, so cautious!" a Dusk mercenary gasped with some difficulty. The environmental Life Suppression was speeding up his stamina consumption during the fight. Normally capable of taking down ten Boundary Breakers, he now felt exhausted dealing with just two or three.

Even with the enhancement of Fervent Blood Life through the Eye Pupil of Life, without such an enhancement, handling one or two would have likely worn him out completely.

"Since that’s the case, then I’ll just do a..."

"Wait, don’t go into a rampage yet. This special kind of life force enhancement needs a positive emotional outburst for a significant boost," his comrade hurriedly stopped him as the Dusk mercenary contemplated using some hidden techniques.

"Other powerhouses have analyzed and found that your rampage tends towards a murderous frenzy; using it would only make things worse."

"What the fuck? Does this ability need to come with truth, goodness, and beauty?" The Dusk mercenary planning to rampage was taken aback.

"Um, it probably has something to do with that big eyeball. Despite its unsavory appearance, its aura is undeniably that of a benevolent and lawful entity."

"... So what do I do?"

"How about trying to fight with the thought of saving those civilians? If we can’t resolve the battle quickly, the Boundary Breaking Faction will surely detonate other weapons of destruction."

"... I have no personal connection to the people in this world; I also won’t see those killed by a detonated weapon. You want me to have a positive outburst of righteous anger over that? Why not ask me to have an even stronger positive emotional surge to protect the world?!"

The Dusk mercenary’s comrade erected a magic shield to block incoming attacks and, after a moment’s thought, said, "That could work too."

"Or you could let those young ones over there give it a try... Uh." While speaking, the Dusk mercenary glanced at two young Dusk mercenaries who had gone into Burst Mode nearby, and suddenly paused, "Is it really that powerful?"

The two young Dusk mercenaries were radiating intense life force, with a certain enhancement that significantly reduced the effect of Life Suppression. Each of their strikes created powerful impacts, leaving him staring in astonishment.

"In fact, that thing contains Divinity, and this special life force boost is somewhat idealistic. You tell me, is that strong or what?"

"Youth is wonderful." The Dusk mercenary shook his head. An explosive outburst of positive emotions isn’t something that can be readily produced; after all, it’s truly difficult to deceive oneself if it’s not heartfelt.

"Actually, I do have a method we could try."

"Then I’d rather rampage!" The Dusk mercenary spoke very decisively, guessing what the so-called method involved—it must be a mental spell, a kind of powerful self-hypnosis that convinced himself he was fighting to protect the world.

This too could work, possibly not as powerful as those genuinely heartfelt emotions, but it was still quite an effective approach.

"Let’s forget it. Sigh—let’s hurry up and find the ’Source of Boundary Breaking.’ I’m feeling very uneasy right now."

The warrior Dusk mercenary nodded in agreement, aware that his comrade practiced prophecy skills and related magic. While such magic couldn’t entirely predict the future, it had significantly improved his sixth sense. If he could learn it, he would have liked to practice this as well.

As a warrior, he knew full well the importance of a sixth sense.

"Let me catch my breath first."

He looked at the sky, Zheng Yichen and the released Eye Pupil of Life had disappeared without a trace. While they were conversing, Zheng Yichen was also moving, and with better efficiency.

This directly forced out the hidden contingency plans of the Boundary Breakers, as Arrivers that had been in the Great World arrived.

Facing these Arrivers, Zheng Yichen didn’t give them a chance to react and directly swept away all the demonic thoughts from the battlefield, delivering a decisive blow with one saber strike.

The two Arrivers at the forefront set up their defenses but were engulfed by the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills. The remaining Arrivers scattered immediately to avoid being annihilated by Zheng Yichen’s single strike, overwhelmed by the tremendous power of the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills.

"Huh?" Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly. Among the Arrivers, he spotted a familiar figure wielding a silver-white light power. An acquaintance, indeed.

Watching them, Zheng Yichen’s empty hand conjured a tangible orb of light that quickly transformed into black, shaping it into a spiked ball he threw. The spiked ball did not reach the Arriver wielding the silver-white light before being blasted away.

The Arriver’s expression was cold as they stared at Zheng Yichen. This was a provocation!

And with his head slightly tilted, eyes covered by Black Light, Zheng Yichen was provoking. Even if he defeated the Arrivers from the Great World here, he couldn’t kill them for good, but since they had come, they might as well pay a price before returning.
