Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar-Chapter 1156 - 508: The Onset of Desperation
The words of the Vine Gourd Demon almost spoke to the hearts of the other demons.
Facing a presence capable of killing the Ironhide Shield Demon, it's better to encircle these human remnants, who are already at the end of their strength, with the main force here.
Therefore, several demon bodies chimed in supportively.
"Indeed! This human squad is now completely surrounded, with no chance to break through to the rear defenses, left only with a fate of being slaughtered. Rather than spreading our forces thin, it's better to focus them on one point!"
"Yes, yes, the human who killed the Ironhide Shield Demon must be quite strong, but as he's still causing trouble at the rear rather than fleeing directly, it shows he has blind confidence in his abilities. For now, let's leave him be. Soon enough, he'll pay the price he deserves!"
The Ironhide Shield Demon was highly regarded by the Silver Lion King Demon, so when he heard that such an important subordinate had been killed, he was nearly overwhelmed by rage.
But upon hearing the words of the Vine Gourd Demon and others, he gradually calmed down.
Being someone who could become the leader of this Demon Army, he pondered carefully, analyzed the pros and cons, and quickly made a decision.
"True, sending you over might not even be a match for that guy, which would needlessly disperse our combat power. If an accident occurs, the favorable situation could quickly become problematic; it's much better to concentrate our forces to resolve this group of humans first and then deal with the troubles at the rear. By then, that man, isolated, will surely be unable to overturn our demon army."
Seeing the Silver Lion King Demon being so reasonable, the few demon bodies secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The frontline battle was clear; the victory could be easily achieved if they continued step by step.
Contrarily, no one present, except for the Silver Lion King Demon, dared to confidently claim they could take down the human who could kill the Ironhide Shield Demon.
Even if it were two against one, or three against one, it would require fighting desperately, with a constant risk of falling.
But staying at the frontline posed no such risk.
So naturally, they hoped to resolve the matters at the frontline first, and then, led by the Silver Lion King Demon, together resolve the human who killed the Ironhide Shield Demon; this way, nothing could go wrong, maximizing risk reduction.
Though the demon side experienced a brief pause in their assault, giving the remaining human forces a bit of breathing space, anyone could see that everyone's state was quite poor.
The ocean of demons rushed in wave after wave, occasionally interspersed with Great Demons bringing danger to the human strongholders.
If a human strongholder wanted to pursue a Great Demon, they would inevitably be blocked by the ocean of demons. The Great Demons could swiftly retreat to safety, leaving the human strongholders unable to pursue, lest they became isolated and fought alone to their deaths.
Old man Xun Taomu of the Xun Family's elders was killed this way by the demons.
He was enraged.
The Xun Family seedlings were grabbed by Great Demons, and he charged into the Demon Army disregarding impediments, lost the protection of the Human Alliance, and was quickly engulfed and killed by the Demon Army, along with the seedlings of the Xun Family, who also died tragically on the spot.
All of this was personally witnessed by Hai Kongxin.
This brutal battle was harsher than any battle Hai Kongxin had ever experienced.
He gasped heavily, as if all his strength had been drained, yet it was not enough!
Because the demons' attack continued, those martial artists in the team with mediocre strength had already reached their limit, sporadically falling injured or killed amidst the humans' numbers being far less than those of the demons. If he didn't stand up to fill the gap in the lineup, to resist the demons, the entire team could be scattered, crushed, and quickly collapse completely at any moment.
Even more so when the team's top strongholders were fighting against the strongest Great Demons on the demon side, they, as Wood Realm Warriors, had to contribute and assist in coordination. Otherwise, with Elder Fu's increasingly weak condition, he could be defeated at any moment.
If Elder Fu fell, there'd be no generals in the army, and everything would be lost.
Preserving Elder Fu's undefeated status was the key to the Human Alliance hanging on until now, as for how long they could persist, whether there was a chance to break the demon entrapment and find a ray of hope, Hai Kongxin didn't know, or rather, he had no way to spare the effort to contemplate. If he were to ponder this issue, the belief, the craving for survival that they'd held onto until now, would collapse instantly.
"I want to live... I must live... Humans will prevail!!!"
Hai Kongxin roared and charged towards the front line of the team, his two brothers beside him having just retreated to the team for a breath, saw Hai Kongxin rushing forward impulsively, and immediately followed to assist.
But Hai Kongxin didn't notice that on the demon side, a few demon bodies, after returning to attack the team, suddenly became particularly fierce.
He only thought of fighting, killing, and breaking through.
Yet the prolonged combat, the oppressive atmosphere, the increasingly hopeless situation, caused Hai Kongxin to fail to notice that he was actually becoming numb.
So he hadn't paid attention to the condition of his brothers beside him.
So he charged forward like a Barbarian Bull, roared, unknowingly drawing a distance from his brothers.
When tragedy struck, the overlooked details, those that should have been sensed long ago, those responses that should have been made, were all vividly recalled, flooding into his mind.
But, it was already too late.
"First is... you!"
A moment of looking back.
Screech!!!
A bloody claw pierced through the chest of his life and death brother, Hai Congbo.
