I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 82: Only in Desperate Situations Can Heroes Emerge? (For the Alliance Leader, More Updates Requested)

"...You're right."

"Now that I think about it, it's actually advantageous for those idiots to go to Zhong Cang... They can buy us more time with their flesh and blood, preventing us from being attacked on all sides!"

The fierce attacks from the Demonic Beasts made them believe that this was the final wave of attacks. Demonic Beasts at the 7th, 8th, and even 9th level of Qi Refining could potentially appear.

However, Zhong Cang, who was at the 5th level of Qi Refining, was not a match for these Demonic Beast leaders.

They guessed correctly to some extent.

Less than three minutes into the battle, terrifying roars echoed from the four directions of the city ruins.

Accompanying the roars were four Demonic Beast leaders that were noticeably larger than ordinary Demonic Beasts.

Their appearance made the Demonic Beasts even more ferocious, increasing the pressure on Zhong Cang and his group.

Without time to pay attention to other areas, Zhong Cang immediately looked at the enemy in front of him.

Then, he discovered a giant ape-like creature with a massive body, black fur, and long arms.

Seeing its appearance and recalling it briefly, Zhong Cang realized that this Demonic Beast came from the mountains - the Mountain Ape.

"The Mountain Ape is the ruler of the mountains, incredibly powerful. It can tear apart tigers and leopards. After becoming a Demonic Beast leader, its strength will be even more formidable. I just don't know what kind of innate spells this Demonic Beast leader possesses."

As soon as he noticed it, Zhong Cang slowed down his killing and focused most of his attention on the Mountain Ape, observing its movements and weaknesses.

Zhong Cang was well aware that they could still contend with the demons and monsters because their battle line had not yet collapsed.

If the Mountain Ape broke into their formation and disrupted their ranks, they would all die.

However, his attempt to sense it was not very successful. The Mountain Ape's robust bloodline distorted Zhong Cang's perception. He needed some time to find its weak points.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang was not alone. While he was trying his best to sense, the surrounding cultivators also sensed the danger. They immediately launched a large number of spells towards the Mountain Ape.

"Boom..."

Fireballs, wind blades, and flying swords all flew towards the Mountain Ape.

However, the effectiveness of these attacks was not very good.

Before the Mountain Ape even made a move, the other Demonic Beasts intercepted and blocked these attacks.

"This is troublesome."

Seeing this scene, Fan Gong's heart sank.

The other cultivators also had serious expressions.

However, at this moment, they had no way to retreat. Even if their scalps were tingling with fear, they could only face the battle.

"Roar..."

The appearance of the Demonic Beast leaders made the battle even more brutal.

Especially when the Mountain Ape pounded its chest and let out a thunderous roar, jumping into the frontlines of the battle, the Demonic Beasts' attacks became even more frenzied, and the situation became even more dire for the humans.

Although there were brave cultivators among the humans, wielding their body cultivation weapons to attack the Mountain Ape, the difference between the 6th and 7th level of Qi Refining was significant. It was a transformation from the mid-stage to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the gap in strength was immense.

Especially the Mountain Ape in front of them was not an ordinary Demonic Beast but a leader among the Demonic Beasts, making it even more difficult to deal with.

The two body cultivators who went up were immediately beaten back and spat out blood upon contact.

Even more tragic was that Demonic Beasts were everywhere, making it impossible for the cultivators to provide assistance.

Seeing this, Zhong Cang could only command Maple Flower to stop roaming on the outskirts and fly towards the Mountain Ape.

"Swoosh..."

The sharp Maple Flower danced like a dragon, diverting some of the Mountain Ape's attention.

More importantly, under Zhong Cang's control, Maple Flower was extremely agile. The Mountain Ape tried to grab it several times but failed to touch it, infuriating the Mountain Ape.

In this situation, the two body cultivators who were fighting against the Mountain Fiend let out a sigh of relief.

However, before they could finish exhaling, another unexpected change occurred.

"Roar!"

After realizing that it couldn't catch Maple Flower, the Mountain Fiend let out a furious roar and stomped its foot forcefully.

"Splash!"

With its movement, the earth and rocks on the ground flowed towards its body like water, quickly forming a sturdy armor on its body. The rocks and soil soon composed a solid armor on its body.

The Mountain Fiend was already massive in size, and with the armor on, its imposing presence became even more fierce.

What frustrated the human side the most was that the rock armor could block most attacks. Fireballs, wind blades, and even Zhong Cang's Maple Flower strikes could only leave a mark on the rock armor without being able to completely cut through it.

As long as it couldn't be cut open, soil would continuously emerge from the ground to fill the damaged parts of the armor.

"Roar!"

With its already immense strength and the addition of the armor, the Mountain Fiend became an unparalleled defensive force. It charged recklessly towards the human defense line like a heavily armored tank.

"Block, block!"

"Boom..."

"Fight him."

"No!"

Although the human cultivators attacked with all their might, the difference in cultivation level made their attacks ineffective.

The ferocious charge of the Mountain Fiend broke through the human's defense line, disrupting their formation and turning it into chaos.

Even when Zhong Cang sent his second flying sword, it still couldn't do anything to the Mountain Fiend.

Even when Zhong Cang's Thunderbolt was sharper, it couldn't cut through the mud and rock armor. The Mountain Fiend stopped defending and allowed the flying sword to attack.

This scene made the cultivators following Zhong Cang despair, and the spectators outside shook their heads in regret.

"Indeed, even with excellent skills, a Qi Refining fifth layer cultivator can't defeat a Qi Refining seventh layer cultivator."

"He has done his best, but the gap in cultivation level is not easily bridged."

"It's over, this defense line is about to be breached."

While shaking their heads and sighing, someone said,

"Smooth sailing in normal times is nothing. Only in desperate situations can heroes emerge. Zhong Cang at the moment is clearly not an Apex Level genius capable of turning the tide..."

"Hmm?!"

"Hiss..."

"Impossible."

While the person was sighing, a series of astonished and gasping sounds rang out beside him.

These sounds made the person instinctively look over, and then his eyes widened in astonishment.

"How is this possible?"

It's no wonder he was so surprised. In the Illusory Realm, where he thought the situation had already collapsed, another change occurred.

The Mountain Fiend, which had been dominating and seemingly invincible, was now lying on the ground.

A flying sword with flickering lightning was nailed into the back of the Mountain Fiend's head, firmly pinning it to the ground.

All of this was naturally done by Zhong Cang.

To be honest, even he himself didn't expect the Mountain Fiend to be so arrogant and for it to be killed so easily.

He just needed some time to find the weak point in the Mountain Fiend's movements, not that it was impossible to find.
