"Actually, we're quite strong in close combat..."
Wan Lei smiled faintly, his dog transformed into the Source Thunder Hammer, crackling with lightning in his hand, striking the enemy with thunder and lightning everywhere.
Everyone was fighting relatively easily. At this rate, they could exhaust all the enemy forces here within a day or two.
Of course, this was on the premise that the enemy would retreat and no reinforcements would arrive.
The battle continued. Wan Lei and the others were holed up within the formation, relying on it to desperately attack the enemies outside. Squirrel, however, had long since charged into the outside world, unleashing lightning wildly to slaughter the Demon Lords.
Squirrel rarely came to the Bitter Sea battlefield. As an elder of the Five Elements Hall and a good friend of the Five Great Immortal Venerables, it usually only needed to be cute... and to teach other disciples the way of formations. It wasn't needed for ordinary battles with its small animal physique.
This time, it had accidentally arrived at the Bitter Sea and happened to encounter so many demons to fight, so of course, it wanted to fight to its heart's content.
That's why, when everyone debated whether to break through or defend just now, it hadn't said a word.
These few enemies were not enough for it to kill alone.
At this moment, Squirrel had already charged into the enemy ranks. Everywhere it went, lightning spread, and the screams of demons rose and fell. The steel flying fish were all shattered, turning into sharp spikes that pierced the demons.
Suddenly, from the rear of the enemy army, a tall and powerful demon leaped into the air, brandishing a broad saber and slashing at Squirrel with a single strike.
Before the demon reached him, the saber's might arrived. Squirrel sensed the danger, turned around, and directly unleashed a Heavenly Dao Thunder, shattering the saber's might. It also retreated several steps.
"Hmph, a dignified high-level demon god, hiding behind others like a coward, not acting while I kill so many demons, just to sneak attack me. The demon race is truly despicable."
The demon god's face turned somewhat ugly. He had sensed that Squirrel was at the Golden Immortal realm, but he hadn't expected it to be so strong, easily dispelling his charged attack with a casual move.
But he was a proud demon. The honor of his race made him unable to retreat in the face of the enemy. He immediately swung his saber and engaged Squirrel in battle.
The battle between a high-level demon god and a Golden Immortal realm powerhouse was earth-shattering. For a time, all the demons in that area retreated, fearing that even a slight ripple would cost them their lives.
"That's a demon god! We have a demon god among the enemy; this battle will be tough."
Bao Bao pointed at the distant battlefield and shouted for her companions to look.
"Don't disrupt morale. It's just a demon god, Squirrel can handle it. Let's focus on killing the enemy."
Wan Qianxin glanced over and immediately turned back to continue fighting.
"Why are you being so fierce? I'm just saying, and besides, there wasn't a demon god before, and now another one has suddenly appeared. If there's a first, there might be a second."
Bao Bao felt incredibly wronged. She could tolerate anyone else being fierce with her, but Xin Xin couldn't.
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed from the formation in the sky, and then they felt the island they were on shaking violently.
Looking up, they saw a powerful demon standing on the formation, staring at them with cold, bloodthirsty eyes.
"Another demon god!"
Han Xiaoyun shrieked.
"Bao Bao, did your mouth get blessed?"
"Block him! Don't let him break the formation."
"Attack him!"
"Hurry and beat him!"
Everyone fumbled, attacking the sky, but their weapons were only useful against ordinary demons. Against a demon god, they were almost like tickles.
"It's useless. Save your ammunition for the demons. I'll maintain the formation."
Wan Lei finished speaking, soared into the sky, and arrived below the formation, facing the demon god above through the formation.
The demon god above swung his great saber, madly hacking at the formation. Wan Lei placed his hands on the formation, the formation's eye already activated, desperately maintaining the damaged formation.
But the speed at which he maintained it could not keep up with the speed at which the demon god destroyed it.
Cracking sounds echoed from the formation.
Fang Xiaoyu looked up, her gaze filled with worry as she watched Wan Lei above, a bad premonition settling in her heart.
The current scene was eerily similar to what had happened before in the Thunder Star Sea. They were maintaining a formation left by Squirrel, except the endless thunder beasts were replaced by demons, and the Mahayana stage thunder beast was replaced by a demon god.
Back then, Wan Lei, in order to protect the formation and her, had been severely injured by the backlash, becoming crippled.
The commotion here also attracted Squirrel's attention. It turned to support them but was locked in a fierce struggle with another high-level demon god, unable to break free.
Moreover, it knew that even if it returned and personally maintained the formation, it wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of two high-level demon gods.
"Kid, hold on! I'll kill this demon god and come over."
Above, the formation's cracking sounds grew louder and more frequent.
The four little ones and Fang Xiaoyu, along with Dada, killed demons, piling their corpses high on the island. However, the demons' fearless spirit meant that even knowing they would die if they charged forward, they would still rush forward without hesitation to their deaths.
Time ticked by, and the cracks on the formation multiplied. Wan Lei had already activated his Thunder Radiance Battle Armor to mitigate the damage, but how could he withstand the backlash from the demon god's power?
The vibrations from above made Wan Lei cough up blood, his meridians in excruciating pain, yet he dared not relax even an iota.
After another half an hour, the formation's cracks continued to increase, making it seem like it would crumble at any moment.
It wasn't just the demon god attacking the formation; there was also a demon army of tens of thousands!
Finally, after the demon god unleashed a final, desperate saber strike, with a deafening roar, the formation exploded. Wan Lei was sent flying down by the force of the formation's explosion, falling powerlessly.
The surrounding demons, seeing the formation gone, became instantly excited and launched their greatest offensive.
In an instant, the defensive line was on the verge of collapse.
"Wan Lei!"
Fang Xiaoyu roared, using her Wind Blade escape technique to fly into the sky and catch Wan Lei.
Meanwhile, the demon god in the sky slowly descended with a cold sneer.
The moment the formation shattered, it had already signaled the death of the humans below.
"It's over! The distress signal can't be sent out at all. This is the Bitter Sea, and Father and Mother can't sense us here. What should we do?"
Bao Bao was so anxious she was about to cry, fumbling to replace the Dao Yun power cores in her weapon.
Fang Xiaoyu retreated quickly with Wan Lei, but no matter how fast she was, could she be faster than the demon god?
The demon god unleashed a saber gleam, foreseeing the scene of the two in front of him being sliced in two.
Suddenly, a roaring figure soared into the sky, blocking in front of Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
It was a big fatty.
The saber gleam struck the big fatty, and dispersed on its own. Kaka, however, remained unharmed.
