Chapter 102: Desperate Situation (Third Update)

  Yat's long whip was incredibly agile, sometimes like a spiritual snake writhing, sometimes like a divine dragon swinging its tail. The long whip brought out a loud crackling sound in the air, and every time it struck, it was like a thunderbolt tearing through the sky. The golden long whip carried blue electricity, and with just one crackle, a scorched fissure would immediately appear on the ground!

  Yes, just on the ground!

  The three apes, with their strange and sinister movements, surrounded Art's flames. As soon as they saw him swing his whip, they immediately retreated. If they couldn't retreat in time, the three of them would punch out together, using their flame-wrapped fists to deflect Art's whip!

  So back and forth, Art's long whip was always ineffective, but it also forced the five fierce fire apes not to dare approach him easily.

  "Cross blades clash!"

  Brad Pitt held two large knives as tall as him, his hands stretched out straight, chopping wildly, and the golden crescent-shaped aura shot out from time to time. The aura of the tenth-order sword saint had unmatched lethality, and dozens of deep trenches, one palm wide and two meters long, appeared around him, all caused by his aura!

  And with his arm plus the length of the big knife, the area within three meters around him became his absolute domain. If Lie Huo Yuan entered it, what they would face would be a great knife that could cut through everything! Even if they didn't get close to Brad Pitt within three meters, the Dou Qi that shot out from time to time in this area made the seven Lie Huo Yuan besieging him only dare to dodge around and not dare to face his edge.

  However, against the purely defensive Luffy, Brad Pitt was just making useless efforts.

  Compared with them, Zayn's side is more direct and violent.

  Li Xie followed closely behind Zainnarde, while Zainnarde charged at a Flame Ape with bare hands. The Flame Ape's strength was no match for Zainnarde, and its killing power was one level lower than Zainnarde's. Moreover, Li Xie swiped his sharp claws, and anyone who got caught by them would be left with five bloody gashes.

  As a result, the eight-headed fierce ape that surrounded them had already taken down three heads and severely injured one head. However, Zaynarde didn't have time to finish off the severely injured one because the other seven were still moving freely, and they had set their sights on Li Xie, avoiding Zaynarde's fists and feet while focusing their attack on Li Xie. This undoubtedly restricted Zaynarde's movements, as he had to consider Li Xie's safety.

  At this moment, the four of them seem to be able to fight evenly with the twenty-headed and four-armed Flame Ape, and even Zainanad has an absolute advantage. Perhaps if they heavily injure one more head, Zainanad and Li Xie can slowly take down the remaining few heads of Flame Apes surrounding them!

  However, a huge concern can no longer be ignored by them!

  Lihuo Yuan's cleverness in fighting was too much for Arte and Brad Pitt, as they were able to dodge his attacks with ease. Whenever the two of them launched an attack, Lihuo Yuan would immediately retreat, while the other monsters nearby would immediately pounce on them, rendering their efforts futile.

  This is the most fatal point ---- the consumption of Dou Qi!

  To avoid being surrounded by the fierce flames and to seek a breakthrough, Arte and Brad must keep attacking, their aura is rapidly depleting.

  Although their strength is steadily better than the three-headed fierce ape, adding two more heads has become the current situation. This is like an adult chasing a child, the adult's combat power is steadily better than the child, but whether they can catch up is a question, even if they catch up, how much physical strength will be consumed? With two more children running around the adult, it is possible to exhaust the adult to death.

  The intention of the Flame Monkeys is now clear: they want to exhaust Arte and Brad Pitt.

  The two of them had already started panting heavily, continuously unleashing powerful killing intent that caused their physical strength to rapidly decline.

  In addition, Zainnarde's side was not easy to take, although his aura was hidden and not released, the consumption was greatly reduced compared to the two people beside him. However, he had to worry about Li Xie's safety and could not leave to help Arte Rayo and Brad Pitt, waiting for the two to exhaust their auras, the situation would not be what Zainnarde wanted to see.

  "These damn Fire Monkeys must have had some expert guidance! How can they be so clever!" Arte Yavo has already realized the problem and shouted loudly: "This won't do! Think of a solution quickly!"

  Art Ray's heart was racing more and more, he felt that he wasn't fighting against an eighth-tier magical beast at all, but rather a group of well-trained assassins.

  Such a formation, such tactics, such tacit understanding, even if the eighth-level demon beast is again clever, it is not as good as the ninth-level demon beast, nor is it as good as human beings. However, what they have shown is so shocking!

  Twenty eighth-level demon beasts are fighting against two tenth-level sword saints and a ninth-level summoner, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. But now, if they continue to fight, these twenty four-armed fire apes will be able to kill them with minimal damage!

  "Damn it!" Brad Pitt roared: "Rather than being exhausted to death, die staring at one, exchange injuries for life, maybe there will be a breakthrough!"

  They were pinned down to a large extent because they feared getting hurt, as they had the capability of taking out one or two, if only they abandoned defending against the flank attacks.

  The battle has just begun, who is willing to exchange injuries for life?

  But now it's beyond their control.

  The little cat on Li's head stood up, waving its front paws and raising its thumb-like claws, as if it also agreed with Brad Pitt's suggestion.

  But she immediately meowed loudly, and saw that all the fierce fire apes quickly retreated thirty meters, keeping a distance from Li Xie and others. Zaynarde's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Meow sister said there are more demons coming!"

  These words caused everyone's face to change color, and they leaned in closer, already able to see some figures darting out of the distant mountain forest - another batch of magical beasts!

  "What?! It's a level 8 Earth Lynx! Thirty of them!" Arte's face turned pale: "I understand, they're not only draining my fighting spirit but also stalling for time! Damn it, in our current state, we can't withstand this many magical beasts!"

  Li Xie was also frightened, as a person, he truly felt the feeling of being hunted. The hunters around him were closing in step by step, and as prey, it was just a matter of time before they were pushed towards death!

  "What should we do? Are we going to die here?" Li Xie felt a sense of unwillingness, and at this moment he hated himself for being too weak!

  Perhaps Zainnade was not estimating his safety, he could have broken through earlier. If he had some real power, he could have really helped and the situation would have been different. Even now, Li Xie can only grit his teeth in hatred, after all, he can't come up with any ideas.

  Art Ray's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he said in a deep voice, "Zain, Blade, you two escort the Evil Brothers to the 9th tier region and escape, I'll cover for you from the side!"

  Brad Pitt understood what Yat Yiu meant and immediately said: "No way! If we go, we go together!"

  "Cut the nonsense! Even if I stay behind, you may not be able to leave. We can't go together anymore, take care of yourselves!"

  "Then I'll stay with you!" Brad Pitt's eyes were fierce: "Zane, evil brother, please!"

  Art Raynor gripped his long whip tightly: "Brad, this is not the time for courtesy! Zain and his evil brothers have never set foot on the mainland of the gods. They can't possibly get out by themselves after coming so deep in. You must lead them out. As for me, don't worry about it. If I die while you all escape with your lives, please tell my comrades in the Thunderbolt Mercenary Corps that their commander, Art Raynor, died in battle!"

  "Big brother!" Li Xie grasped Arte's hand: "If we leave, let's go together! If we die, let's die together! I, Li Xie, am a man who fears death, but not one to abandon his brothers!"

  Although Li Xie was afraid of death, at this moment, his hot blood rushed to his forehead!

  Between abandoning his brother and death, Li Xie's eyes were so resolute ---- he would absolutely not abandon his brother!

  Furthermore, Li Xie had an ace up his sleeve! Yes, although he didn't have the strength to fight against the eighth-stage magical beast, but his special body...

  Zaynord has reached the critical point of promotion, and as long as Zaynord eats one more portion of his body, he can immediately promote Zaynord to a tenth-order giant dragon! So, these fifty eighth-order magic beasts in front of him are nothing but clay chickens and tile dogs!

  However, this will undoubtedly expose Li Xie's secret that his body can upgrade the demon beasts, and also expose Zeennard's breath, making him a target of the dragon clan.

  That is to say, this killer can help them get through the current crisis, but it will put Li Xie and Zeennard in a desperate situation.

  Yi Tuo Rong opened his hand to push away Li Xie's hand, shouting: "Do you guys consider me as your big brother? Now we're almost at a dead end, do you think I'll sacrifice myself to cover for you so you can escape? Although we've sworn an oath, this time it's my mission. Protecting your safety is one of my tasks. No matter what, I don't want to die and also damage the honor of our Lei Meng Mercenary Group! I hope both brothers will cooperate, stop talking nonsense, everyone run south, I'll use all my strength to cover for you, don't worry about me, as long as you can run to the territory of the 9th level magic beast, it's safe!"

  "Ah!"

  Zayn stepped forward, his head thrown back and let out a mighty roar, but it wasn't human, it was the cry of a dragon!

  Looking at his upper body again, it suddenly became a circle bigger, the black clothes had been torn to pieces, and his body was getting bigger, the facial features were deeper, the mouth protruded forward, and the forehead bulged!

  A massive oppressive aura emanated from him!

  "Dragon!" Arte Yayo and Brad Pitt exclaimed in unison!

  "It's the Ninth-Grade Dragon of the Imperial Clan!" Zaynarde, who had already transformed into a half-human, half-dragon creature, gazed at the two with his lizard-like eyes: "Since running away won't guarantee survival either, let's fight! My dragon breath can attack over a wide range, and my true body isn't something an eighth-grade magical beast can easily harm! You'll use me as cover, but be sure to protect the master!"

  Zayn's words reignite hope for a One Direction reunion with Harry Styles and Brad Pitt!

  Although they are now facing fifty eighth-tier magical beasts, they have a royal ninth-tier dragon that is comparable to a tenth-tier giant dragon!

  The nine-level giant dragon transforms into a human form, making it difficult to exert the true strength of the giant dragon, and its physical defense will also be greatly weakened. However, if it changes into a giant dragon shape, not only will its strength increase greatly, but most importantly, it will possess unmatched killing power with its dragon breath, which is the ultimate tool for breaking through sieges and launching large-scale counterattacks!

  "Meow...... Meow meow meow......" The little kitten suddenly cried out non-stop, its paws gesturing continuously, as if saying something.

  Zain stopped transforming, his body shrinking back, his eyes puzzled and confused, but suddenly he punched Li Xie in the face!
