The Aberrant Blood Relative had likely never faced such a setback since mastering this ability. They roared once more, producing loud "heh heh" sounds.
The remaining monsters' strength surged again, directly elevating them to five and a half levels. In the previous encounter, a six-star powerhouse from a mysterious force was overwhelmed by a swarm of this magnitude.
Ye Zhongming's expression turned serious. The war knife in his hand lost its previous brilliance and became unadorned, but that was only in comparison to the explosive professional skills demonstrated earlier. The star point blade technique combined with the blazing flame combat technique created a visual effect and power that was in no way weaker. These five and a half level monsters could not withstand a full strike from him.
He advanced and swung his knife, bringing death in his wake. Although it seemed that the hordes of monsters had surrounded Ye Zhongming, they posed no real threat to him. Under his impenetrable knife technique, the insects were all sliced in half, while several beasts could only temporarily evade his sharp edge, daring not to press forward.
The Aberrant Blood Relative was almost covered in blood. The spirit pattern battle body could indeed regenerate, but it required sufficient time to nurture. For some reason, Ye Zhongming's attacks carried an energy that instilled fear in them, as if the spirit bodies he had killed could no longer be reborn.
The Aberrant Blood Relative didn’t know where this feeling came from, but it was undeniably real. They panted heavily, then lifted their feet again, stomping heavily on the ground.
"Heh heh!"
After two sounds, the greatly reduced number of monsters gained strength once more, reaching level six!
This time, even Ye Zhongming was taken aback. The strength of the Aberrant Blood Relative was indeed formidable, only at the five-star evolutionary level, yet it could resist many six-star foes. However, relying on their bizarre yet powerful spirit pattern battle body and blood relatives, it was unlikely that the monsters they summoned could surpass their own evolutionary level.
Yet now they had done it, which was astonishing!
The crowd from Cloud Summit, who were observing Ye Zhongming's battle from the Shield of the Water Bottle, felt their hearts leap into their throats. They had confidence in Ye Zhongming, but facing so many level six monsters exceeded everyone’s comprehension.
After the Aberrant Blood Relative used this ability, blood began to flow from their orifices. Every inch of their skin cracked, and beneath their feet, a pool of blood formed. Having supplied energy to the monsters, their body had shrunk to just over a meter and had become emaciated, resembling a withered ghost.
Ye Zhongming felt a surge of pressure. Through the gaps in the monster horde, he saw the state of the Aberrant Blood Relative and realized that even if they managed to escape, they likely wouldn't live much longer.
But he had no intention of retreating. He spun the war knife in his hand, activating the skill of the Bloodstained Battle Boots. He chose this moment to dash outward.
The monsters naturally wouldn’t let him go, attacking him frantically. The radiant seal blade master’s professional skill activated once more, golden light spreading. These level six monsters, primarily insect-like, lacked the excellent defensive abilities of other mutated beings and couldn’t block this attack. Ye Zhongming carved a hole through the encirclement and swiftly dashed out.
With a "poof poof!" sound, the head of the Aberrant Blood Relative flew off, and the monsters that followed Ye Zhongming let out unwilling roars before vanishing instantly.
On Ye Zhongming’s chest emblem, the number changed to 21, marking the points for Cloud Summit Villa, which had changed for the second time since the battle began.
Stepping on the corpse of the Aberrant Blood Relative, Ye Zhongming took a moment to recover from the pain in his back.
Though he had only charged a short distance, there were simply too many monsters, and their strength was formidable. Ye Zhongming had taken a few hits; although he dodged the vital areas, he still sustained minor injuries.
