Zi roared up to the heavens and a sudden change occurred in the heavy armored cavalry that had already rushed in close. All the Iron Armored Beasts, almost simultaneously, halted their momentum forcefully, resulting in the ones at the back crashing into those in front. The sound of the collision of the knights' armors echoed one after another, accompanied by the piercing screams of knight spears penetrating their bodies. The previously intimidating heavy armored cavalry squad, consisting of a hundred men, became chaotic in an instant.
Ye Yinzhu was certain that he could never forget the way Zi looked when he roared. His furious demeanor, bloodthirsty aura, and icy gaze were all deeply imprinted in his memory.
The heavy cavalrymen were taken aback, unaware of what had happened. They simply felt like their hearts were about to leap out of their throats amidst the deafening roar. The Iron Armored Beasts, which they had ridden into countless battles, trembled beneath them. Some were even frothing at the mouth.
"Move." Zi growled softly, taking a giant stride forward, with Yin Zhu landing behind him.
Zi's pace wasn't fast, but each step he took gave off an unyielding and steadfast impression. The Iron Armored Beast of the first heavy cavalryman had already collapsed, its lance raised subconsciously as Zi drew nearer.
Zi moved. His swift and simple action sent five knights and their spears flying with a horizontal sweep of his two-meter-long black iron rod. Their finely forged steel knight spears were now bent like serpents.
Zi now stood before the Iron Armored Beast, whose owner had been flung away. With another simple action, a swing of his right foot, an Iron Armored Beast weighing over two hundred kilograms was sent flying, landing heavily with a mournful cry. The same move sent five beasts tumbling aside, clearing Zi's path considerably.
The shock of Zi's strength had the heavy cavalry shivering with fear. The sight of five armored cavalrymen sent flying with one blow and their once thought formidable Iron Armored Beasts being kicked away like straw, not daring to retaliate, revealed an unimaginably terrifying strength.
"Move." Zi roared again. This time, the heavy cavalrymen didn't dare to attack at all. In the face of overwhelming strength, they silently parted, clearing a path and even dragged their collapsed Iron Armored Beasts out of the way.
Zi strode proudly ahead, seemingly disregarding the brightly gleaming knight spears on either side. Yin Zhu, curious about the Zi before him, walked beside him. It was his first time seeing Zi demonstrate his physical strength. He was taken aback by the level of Zi's immense strength — raw, brute strength.
No one dared to obstruct them. Even passing pedestrians did not dare to breathe too loudly. It wasn't until the figures of Zi and Yin Zhu disappeared at the end of the road that the Iron Armor Beasts gradually regained their ability to move.
The five cavalrymen who were sent flying all had their right arms broken into pieces, and their mounts, the five Iron Armored Beasts, some could no longer get up. Fragments of their organs were continuously spat out from their mouths.
"Zi, are you a warrior?" Yin Zhu asked.
"I guess." Zi's eyes had calmed down, his previous wildness completely gone.
"Zi, why did you fight back?"
Zi glanced at the blue sky and said calmly, "Because, no magical beast can make me step aside—not even a dragon."
Yin Zhu looked deeply at Zi, "Zi, do you know? The feeling you gave me just now was potent. But I didn't sense the reason for your strength. Can you use Douqi?"
"I don't need it." Zi glanced at Yin Zhu and suddenly showed a soft smile, "Aren't you going to protect me?"
Yin Zhu also smiled, "Of course. As long as you need me, I'll always stand before you to protect you. But next time, don't throw me up so high."
Rol City is a bustling small city, filled with bustling people who aren't as lethargic as those in Acadia. The refreshing air brings sensation of comfort, and the pleasant temperature makes for a suitable living environment.
The handsome Yin Zhu and resolute Zi frequently caught people's attention on the streets, especially the young girls. Some bolder ones would even cast coquettish glances at them. Zi maintained his icy demeanor, whilst Yin Zhu often responded with a smile. His gentle and handsome features were even more appealing to these love-stricken girls. However, if these girls knew what Yin Zhu was thinking, they might feel differently.
"Zi, why do those girls look different from us? Their chests are so huge!" Yin Zhu said enviously.
Zi's expression stiffened for a moment and then in a low voice said, "Didn't your parents tell you?"
Yin Zhu shook his head and said, "You were with me for so long in the Blue Sky and Sea, and as you have seen, I don't spend much time with my mother and father. And to avoid impacting my cultivation of Pure Qinxin, they never talked to me about the outside world. Do you know why girls have larger chest muscles than us?"
Zi looked helplessly at Yin Zhu and said, "I don't know."
"So you don't know either. It's a pity there are no girls who are my friends. It would be great to ask them. Zi, let's go buy unicorns. Are we staying here tonight or are we continuing our journey?"
As Yin Zhu was asking, suddenly, Zi's face changed dramatically. Yin Zhu, who was close to him, could clearly feel Zi's muscles tensing up. An odd aura spread from him, an indescribable feeling of anger and excitement.
Following Zi's gaze, they saw a group of over ten people in the distance walking in one direction. The one Zi had fixed his gaze upon had his head entirely covered in thick hair, a gloomy face, and a figure even taller than Zi. His whole body gave off a wild aura, the bulging muscles under his clothes clearly full of explosive power. His high cheekbones and dense facial hair made him significantly different from ordinary humans. The people accompanying him also appeared to be different in many ways, some even having long tails. The pedestrians on the street consciously avoided these people, seemingly terrified of them.
"Zi, what's wrong? Who are they?" Yin Zhu asked.
"They are the Beastmen from the Northernmost Wilderness. The one leading them belongs to one of the royal families of the Beastmen, the Lion Clan," Zi said ominously.
"Beastmen? What's a Beastman? Are they also human?"
