Chapter 330: The third hell level?

“Gulp.”

Behind the defensive line, a young warrior swallowed hard.

He watched the twenty-meter-tall demon god, watched him forcefully pull the colossal beast from underground, then swing it to the ground like a whip, his mind a blank.

“This... this is... something a human can do?”

The veteran next to him, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, muttered, “I thought the one playing with the sword was already absurd enough...”

“I didn’t expect this one to be even more absurd!”

Two words.

Brutal!

Too damn brutal!

If Yaso’s combat was a sword dance full of violent aesthetics, then Xiang Yu’s combat was the purest, most primitive, most unreasonable display of overwhelming power!

Every punch, every kick, was filled with a world-shattering visual impact!

“Hiss—!!!”

From within the giant pit, the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent let out a pained shriek.

On its house-sized head, the dark scales had long been shattered, and dark green blood gushed out like a spring.

The intense pain drove it completely insane!

It wanted to retaliate.

But the undying demon god gave it no chance at all!

Xiang Yu’s palm, as huge as a fan, pressed down on its snake head, while his other fist rained down furiously on its head like a deluge!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull thuds, like the dense beating of war drums, were incessant!

Every punch that landed made the earth tremble!

Every punch that landed brought up a bright red damage number from the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent’s head!

-54712!

-58974!

-60124!

At the same time, in mid-air.

Yaso’s figure once again transformed into a streak of lightning.

He and his three lightning Clones, like four golden flashes, surrounded the huge snake head, launching a storm-like attack!

Sword Qi woven like silk, thunder rumbling incessantly!

Golden Sword Qi and violent lightning intertwined, cutting the already battered snake head into a bloody mess!

-31457!

-15478! (Clone)

-32414!

-16214! (Clone)

For a time, that once arrogant Hell-level BOSS was being brutally suppressed on the ground by the two of them in a near-abusive manner!

Its health began to drop rapidly at a visible speed!

Soon, it fell below the 18 million mark!

...The sky gradually darkened.

The second night was about to descend.

Jiangning City, Governor’s Mansion.

Hou Changfeng stood before the massive holographic sand table, his brows tightly furrowed, his face so grim it looked as if it could drip water.

On the sand table, large areas of Dongning Province were already covered in the blood-red color representing the beast tide.

“What’s the situation in Donghai City now?”

He asked, his voice hoarse, without turning his head.

“Are there still survivors coming through the teleportation array?”

He wanted to use this to judge the current situation in Donghai City.

Theoretically speaking, with Donghai City’s defensive capabilities and the overall strength of the professionals within the city, it could at most hold out until yesterday night.

A military intelligence officer hurried forward, his expression a bit strange.

“Reporting, Governor.”

“Donghai City’s teleportation array is still continuously sending survivors over.”

“What?”

Hou Changfeng suddenly turned around, his face filled with surprise.

“Still sending?”

“Donghai City... hasn’t been breached yet?”

“Yes.”

The intelligence officer nodded, his tone also carrying a hint of disbelief.

“According to the latest batch of survivors who teleported over, although Donghai City’s east, west, and north city walls have all been breached, the professionals and military warriors within the city are still resisting street by street, relying on the city’s buildings.”

“And...”

The intelligence officer paused, seemingly organizing his words.

“They said there seems to be a Hell-level BOSS in the city.”

“A Hell-level BOSS?”

Hou Changfeng’s brows furrowed even deeper.

While he was relieved that Donghai City had held out until now, with a Hell-level BOSS appearing, how could they still defend it?

Li Gang only brought a little over a thousand military warriors.

All the City Guards in Donghai City plus the professionals from various guilds, at most, numbered less than ten thousand.

Their strength was also uneven.

What could they use to contend with the attacks of a Hell-level BOSS?

“Could there be some hidden ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ powerful individual in the city that we don’t know about?”

A thought flashed through Hou Changfeng’s mind.

He immediately gave an order.

“Go investigate at once! Interrogate everyone who has teleported from Donghai City thoroughly!”

“I want to know what exactly happened in Donghai City!”

“Yes!”

The intelligence officer took the order, turned, and quickly departed.

No sooner had he left than another intelligence officer walked in, his face heavy.

“Governor.”

His voice was filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

“Just received news.”

“Futai City and Xiyuan City have... completely fallen.”

“The support troops dispatched by the Yunan Military Region encountered a large number of Strange Beast surrounding them about thirty li from Futai City; they can barely protect themselves and are unable to provide effective support to Futai City.”

Hearing this news, Hou Changfeng’s body swayed.

He reached out and grabbed the table beside him, barely steadying himself.

Although he had long anticipated this outcome, when the bad news truly arrived, the heavy pressure still made him feel breathless.

Just then.

“Report—!!!”

Another intelligence officer stumbled in, his face filled with terror.

“Governor! This is bad!”

“Outside the city... traces of a beast tide have been discovered outside the city!”

“The scale is immense, and it’s less than twenty li from Jiangning City!”

At these words, the air in the entire command room seemed to freeze at that moment.

Hou Changfeng took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the tumultuous waves in his heart.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only a cold resolve in his cloudy gaze.

“Issue my order!”

His voice was not loud, but every word was clear and forceful, ringing out distinctly.

“Mobilize all military forces in the city, all guild members, all professionals who can still pick up a weapon!”

“Prepare... to defend the city!”

“Yes!”

...The sky grew even darker.

The second night of the beast tide siege had finally arrived.

Donghai City, East City Gate.

Above the ruins, Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, once again released a round of Meteor Fire Rain, clearing out a large section of the fearless beast army below.

He looked up, silently gazing at the distant sky, at the huge figure still circling in the air.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon.

The scorching flames burning all over its body were particularly conspicuous against the dark night sky, like an ominous star hanging in the heavens.

Zhou Huai couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

The west city gate was fighting so fiercely.

Yaso and Xiang Yu, working together, were almost done smashing the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent.

This guy, however, showed no intention of going to support them.

He just stubbornly guarded the sky above the east city gate.

Neither fighting nor retreating.

What did that mean?

With the intelligence of these Hell-level BOSSes, it was absolutely impossible for them to be doing something useless.

There must be some unknown conspiracy behind them.

However, Zhou Huai was still not in a hurry.

He was still waiting.

Waiting for Moria to revive.

As soon as Moria revived, and with the Zhen Tian Seal, launched a suicidal sneak attack.

No matter what schemes or tricks, just kill both of these Hell-level BOSSes.

At that time, the beast tide would be leaderless, and this crisis would naturally be resolved.

However.

Just then.

Ding!

A cold System prompt sounded in his mind without warning!

“Warning! Your Clone, Da Yi, has observed a large number of Strange Beast gathering in the North Gate direction!”

“Warning! There is a Hell-level BOSS’s aura among them!”

Zhou Huai’s pupils suddenly constricted.

He subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

No way?

A third Hell-level BOSS?
