159: If we can't outsmart them, then let's attack them head-on!

Whoosh!

A faster blue light, like a sharp arrow, was the first to rush into the crack.

Xu Le's eyes were wide with rage, and he accelerated desperately. Just as he was about to touch the crack, that blue light patted the turtle shell in its hand.

A gray light burst forth, striking Xu Le squarely.

Like an ant falling into slime, his speed instantly slowed down.

An Earth Dragon saw Xu Le's movement, swatted him away with its tail, and immediately blocked the entrance of the crack with its own body.

If you want to pass, you have to kill it!

"Good!"

The leading Earth Dragon cheered loudly; they had almost lost two spots, and they had almost been forced to fight the King Crabs head-on.

"Kill him!"

"After killing him, we'll split the spots evenly."

"Good!" The King Crabs then sent one of their underlings to guard the gap, while they themselves, along with the remaining King Crabs, prepared to hack Xu Le into pieces.

The weak are prey to the strong; the strong are the kings.

Xu Le no longer relied on luck; he drew his yanyue saber and began to fight.

Since he couldn't win by wit, he would attack by force!

Nine Clones stepped forward together, completely ignoring the two creatures guarding the crack.

One Cut, Two Halves!

Xu Le aimed at the King Crab that had been burned to low health earlier and slashed down; the sharp blade light split it into two halves.

【EXP + 99.99 million】

A white light flashed, and Xu Le leveled up to 79.

"Fourth, he killed Fourth, we must take revenge!"

"Kill him! I want to hack him into eight pieces and mince him into meat paste."

The King Crabs went crazy.

Originally, they all had thick shells and hard, large claws, making them extremely difficult to kill. They never expected Xu Le to split one directly into two pieces.

The Earth Dragons took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Two of them burrowed directly beneath Xu Le, twisting their bodies to bind him.

Xu Le sneered and, together with his nine Clones, aimed at the King Crab with the lowest HP.

Mental Shock x 10

Earth Spike x 10

Chain Lightning x 10

That King Crab, which already had only half its health bar, saw it plummeting rapidly until it was completely emptied.

【EXP + 99.99 million】

The remaining four King Crabs trembled, looked at the eight Earth Dragons beside them, and without hesitation, fled directly.

An alliance requires equal strength. Now that they were severely reduced in number, the result of continuing would be either being killed by Xu Le or being killed by the Earth Dragons.

The results were gratifying, but the cost was also high.

Xu Le's health bar was now less than 1/3.

He swung his yanyue saber and slashed at the Earth Dragon in front of him. The sharp blade slipped, only managing to cut a small wound.

The Earth Dragon's skin was too slippery, and it possessed the Skill of limb regeneration; that strike only shaved off a sliver of health.

Xu Le hurriedly put away the yanyue saber and began smashing around with the two golden hammers in his hands.

Bang!

A hammer slammed into the Earth Dragon, and the hammer bounced high up. The opponent suffered blunt damage and hissed in pain.

The leading Earth Dragon burrowed in front of Xu Le, suddenly raised its tail, and with a whistling wind, swatted him into the sky.

Immediately after, it stepped on an Earth Dragon, rose from the ground, and began spewing acid at the boy.

Xu Le immediately used the "traceless ring", and most of his Skills cooled down rapidly. Only the "Heavens Mandate Regeneration" Skill, which requires accumulating life force over time, could not be used at this moment.

Raise Fire to Burn the Heavens.

Earth Fire Flowing Slurry.

Blazing Blue Lotus.

Meteor Fire Rain.

A dense barrage of fire-type Skills was released, and the power of the flames was amplified to the maximum.

Surging fire elements suddenly bloomed.

Fire!

Everywhere was blue fire. This time, without the King Crabs to block it, the damage of the flames was fully unleashed.

The two Earth Dragons that had pounced over were beaten to low health, and the rest of the Earth Dragons were also in extreme discomfort.

Mental Shock!

A low-health Earth Dragon was immobilized, and Xu Le hurriedly rushed up and unleashed a barrage of hammer blows.

"Awoo..."

The Earth Dragon shrieked, its head taking a heavy hammer blow.

Even though it had tenacious vitality, it was in agony.

The second hammer followed the previous one, smashing down and knocking off another chunk of the opponent's HP.

However, Xu Le himself was also at low health.

"If we're going to die, let's die together!"

The Earth Dragon that had been smashed twice went berserk and tightly bound Xu Le's body.

The rest of the Earth Dragons swarmed over, fighting him to the death.

Xu Le only had three Clones left, but he was not panicked at all. He cast "Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens" again, and nine Clones with full Skills appeared once more.

Fire!

Fire-type Skills filled the sky.

Boom!

Waves of flames exploded, blowing both the low-health Xu Le and that Earth Dragon into dust.

"Finally won!"

The leading Earth Dragon muttered to itself, feeling a complex mix of emotions about losing a brother.

Suddenly, a huge egg descended from the sky.

No need to guess.

It must be Xu Le's Skill.

"Kill him, avenge Little Six!"

The leading Earth Dragon took the lead and sprayed a glob of acid, causing blood-red "-1 -1 -1" numbers to pop up on the eggshell.

Looking at that health bar that stretched to the heavens, all the Earth Dragons couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Completely impossible to fight!

But they didn't give up. It wasn't until they had attacked for a minute and saw the opponent's health bar faintly decrease by a tiny bit that they all fell silent.

The leading Earth Dragon: "Don't be afraid, this is a special defensive Skill. After he comes out, we can easily kill him in seconds. Let's recover our state first."

Nearly two more minutes passed.

The eggshell cracked open, and the Earth Dragons dumped all their Skills at it.

Repelling Fire Ring!

A halo of light appeared in front of Xu Le, deflecting all the incoming projectile Skills, and then he continued to cast fire-type Skills.

With the dense barrage of Skills thrown down, the leading Earth Dragon discovered that most of them were already at low health.

"We cannot let him cast the Blue Lotus again."

It gritted its teeth secretly and, pushing through the massive wave of Skills, charged in front of Xu Le.

Kill!

One man and one Earth Dragon engaged in a dangerous battle. Acid and sandstorms were flying everywhere in the sky, but Xu Le was not afraid at all.

The two golden hammers in his hands blasted the leading Earth Dragon away. Just as he was about to deliver the finishing blow, seven Earth Dragon tails whipped over.

Slap! Slap! ...

It was like playing ping-pong; Xu Le's body couldn't land at all. Seeing his health bar approaching the red line again, Xu Le didn't hesitate and dived directly into the Contract Space.

Then he activated "nanshan pure land". After one second, a day had passed in the inner world, and he resurrected with full health and full Skills.

Not only active Skills, but even passive Skills had stored enough blood Qi to be able to cast "Heavens Mandate Regeneration" one more time.

After reconnecting with "Nine Phoenix" and returning to the Void Realm, seeing another tail whipping over, he immediately cast "Repelling Fire Ring".

Barely blocking it for 0.1 seconds, he hurriedly flapped his wings to dodge the strike and threw down a dense barrage of Skills.

Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens.

Earth Fire Flowing Slurry.

Blazing Blue Lotus.

...

Seeing another Blazing Blue Lotus appear, the leading Earth Dragon's pupils constricted. It was too late to tell everyone to retreat, so it could only charge over with all its might, attempting to kill Xu Le.

The flower bloomed.

Terrifying heat erupted, and three of the six Earth Dragons besieging Xu Le were burned to death instantly.

"Run!"

The remaining Earth Dragons did not hesitate and turned to flee.

Boom, boom, boom...

Amidst the sounds of explosions of fireballs, only the leading Earth Dragon and the Earth Dragon responsible for guarding the crack escaped with their lives.

The Tanuki hiding in the crack suddenly jumped out.

"Meow..." (Master is so amazing, I like you.)

Xu Le: "..." Trash servant, should I just finish it off?

"Meow..." (Master, don't, I am very loyal.)

Xu Le snorted coldly and jumped directly into the spatial node. The Tanuki, seeing one last chance, followed and jumped in.
