217: Fighting with the few against the many

Above a lush forest, a giant bird with a wingspan of several hundred feet was flapping its wings.

Its star-like eyes were incomparably sharp, staring intently at the group of people opposite.

On the ground beneath it were two other massive demon beasts, a Golden Toad and a Dark Tortoise, their enormous bodies crushing the trees beneath them into splinters.

Especially the Dark Tortoise, living up to its name with the character 'Giant', its body was a thousand feet in size, like a divine mountain.

Opposite them was a team of five, each radiating an aura that was no less powerful.

Led by a Nether Race God Realm peak expert, with four other God Realm late-stage experts, this lineup was undeniably strong.

This small world had numerous restrictions; not only was the territory vast, but the space and ground were much more stable than the outside, thus the destructive power caused would be significantly less.

Everyone's speed would be greatly limited, so the chance of encountering others was still extremely small.

It was unknown how the five opponents gathered together, or how they ran into the three Great Demon Gods.

That Nether Race God Realm peak expert happened to be the one who led the Ten Thousand Clans Grand Tournament of Geniuses.

He locked his aura firmly onto the three Demon Gods and said in a sinister tone, "Hehehe, over the past century, the prestige of our Three-Race Alliance has declined significantly."

"All of this is thanks to you Human and Demon Clans. I didn't expect such a good opportunity today; all of you shall stay!"

It could be said that from a hundred years ago until now, their three races had been incredibly stifled, just waiting for the day they could finally hold their heads high.

Therefore, when he inadvertently sensed the strong demonic qi of the three Great Demon Gods, he brought the other God Realm late-stage experts of the three races to find them.

"Hmph, you wouldn't think you've truly got us cornered, would you?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's star-like eyes shot out a tangible gleam, and it said with disdain.

Even facing a situation where the enemy was numerous and they were few, the three Great Demon Gods showed no fear.

In their view, the most difficult opponent to deal with was undoubtedly the Nether Race God Realm peak expert.

If the other late-stage experts were to engage in a head-on confrontation, they would certainly not be a match for them in a single move.

This was not blind confidence; anyone or any demon beast around Lin Yan, regardless of their original talent, now possessed at least the ability to fight above their level.

Even if they couldn't defeat them, they could maintain an undefeated stance, and working together, they absolutely had the ability to kill.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle was still unknown!

"Oh?"

The Nether Race God Realm peak expert was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion, "In front of our lineup, do you really intend to put up a stubborn resistance?"

"Croak!"

The Heaven Swallowing Golden Toad grew a little impatient, its deep voice resounding through the heavens and earth: "If you want to fight, then fight; stop the nonsense. My brothers and I have never been afraid of anyone!"

"That's right!"

The Giant Spirit Dark Tortoise also echoed, its lazy eyes gradually becoming sharp.

Clap, clap, clap!

Upon hearing this, the Nether Race God Realm peak expert and the four late-stage experts beside him exchanged glances, their spiritual power surging, overflowing with might.

The former couldn't help but applaud, delivering his final words.

"Commendable courage, but unfortunately, it's futile!"

With that, terrifying black spiritual power swept through the heavens and earth, and a palm strike fiercely covered the three Great Demon Gods.

"Screech!"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng let out a screech, its wings radiating golden light, as if forged from gold, rapidly flapping, and finally slashing out a blade-like light resembling a heavenly saber.

Boom!

The two collided, and the terrifying destructive power uprooted the forest beneath them, turning it into a sky full of wood splinters.

However, the palm print unleashed by the Nether Race expert was also canceled out.

"Huh?"

He was somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't gone all out just now, the gap between the two was like a chasm, to say the least.

The fact that the opponent could block this attack was enough to demonstrate their strength.

"I underestimated you!"

His expression became a little more solemn, and he said lightly.

"Croak!"

The Heaven Swallowing Golden Toad's massive body leaped from the ground, fiercely pouncing towards the late-stage experts, clearly intending to deal with the weaker enemies first.

The four late-stage experts were startled and angered; this was blatant contempt. They all unleashed an attack, striking towards the opponent.

But the Golden Toad ignored it, opening its huge mouth. A vortex slowly appeared, a black hole manifested, swallowing all the attacks into its belly.

"What?"

The several people were greatly astonished, not expecting the opponent to be so brutal, easily neutralizing an attack that was enough to severely injure ordinary late-stage experts.

A hint of disdain flashed in the Golden Toad's golden pupils. This was its innate divine ability; the term 'Heaven-Devouring' was named precisely for this reason.

Leaping again, it transformed into a golden light, striking like lightning at one of the late-stage experts who was somewhat unable to dodge in time.

"Dodge quickly!"

The others reacted more quickly, reminding their comrade.

But it was still a step too late. His body was fiercely sent flying by the massive Golden Toad, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

In just a few breaths, the opponent had nearly severely injured one of their own, which caused a look of solemnity to appear in their eyes.

Without giving them time to think, they felt the light above their heads disappear, and a huge shadow covered them.

Looking up, the Giant Spirit Dark Tortoise's mountain-like body crashed down.

Having learned from the previous lesson, this time they subconsciously began to dodge, narrowly avoiding being crushed just in time.

However, the shockwave still sent several people flying, their internal qi and blood churning.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the Nether Race expert was also inexplicably horrified, having never expected the opponent to be so formidable.

He wanted to help the late-stage experts, but the Golden-Winged Great Peng clung to him relentlessly.

Although in a direct confrontation, the opponent was still a little weaker than him, he couldn't shake him off in a short time.

"Damn it!"

A surge of anger rose in his heart. A dark spear appeared in his hand, exuding a power that seemed capable of piercing through everything in the world.

He thrust it fiercely towards the opponent. The dark spear shadow tore through the void, attempting to nail him to the firmament.

But he still underestimated the Golden-Winged Great Peng's speed, who dodged in a series of twists and turns.

Next, the Nether Race expert launched a continuous wave-like offensive, shattering all the surrounding space, with dark turbulent flows appearing.

"Heavenly Peng Slash!"

Seemingly angered by being suppressed by the opponent, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's wings radiated sharpness. It soared sharply into the depths of the firmament, carrying an irresistible momentum, and slashed out a golden saber light.

"Hmph!"

The Nether Race expert snorted coldly, simultaneously thrusting out a sky-rending spear shadow. The two collided, and both figures flew backward.

This time, the Golden-Winged Great Peng had a slight advantage, as the opponent was passively counterattacking and unable to use powerful moves.

However, the other battlefield had no suspense whatsoever.

Under the encirclement of the two Great Demon Gods, the four late-stage experts were retreating steadily, already showing signs of collapse.

"This can't go on!"

They communicated telepathically, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes. They nodded simultaneously, and all their spiritual power erupted.

The several people formed a special battle formation that the three races had constructed over the past century, standing in a four-cornered stance, capable of both offense and defense.

The spiritual power among them was also connected, allowing it to be shared.

"Hup!"

An aura far exceeding the previous one suddenly appeared, surprising even the two Great Demon Gods.
