Chapter 959: The Ingenious Ambush
Zhao Hai laughed heartily as he looked at Xie Yu and the others, saying solemnly, "I've never understood why, since you have suppressed the Elder Supreme of the otherworldly divine race, you don’t attack them. If Dingxing can really suppress them for such a long time, allowing you to attack at will, those Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race would have been wiped out by you long ago. Now I understand, the reason is that as soon as they enter the mountain to attack, the suppression will immediately break. Hahaha, three elders, why don’t you hurry up and help?"
The three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race couldn’t help but laugh at Zhao Hai’s words. The elder from the orc tribe smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao Hai is indeed extraordinary, to notice this during a fierce battle. Impressive! Let’s move!" After saying that, he pounced toward Dingxing, while the other two flew toward Jin Ben, seemingly preparing to deal with him.
Jin Ben panicked when he saw the two rushing at him. He moved quickly and ran into the group that was entangled with the darkness king, ready to combine forces with them against the darkness king, the giant scorpion, and the two Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race.
At that moment, Dingxing also moved and joined the fray, and naturally, the Elder Supreme of the Beast God Clan turned around to attack Dingxing and his group.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, his expression changed slightly. He was well aware of the intentions of the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race. Although what they were doing seemed completely justified, wanting to focus their strength to deal with manageable enemies, Zhao Hai felt that this was only one reason; there was likely another, more sinister motive.
This sinister motive was that they wanted to use the strength of a few elders of the divine race to injure Zhao Hai. Then, even if they defeated the nine Elder Supremes of the divine race, Zhao Hai would no longer be a threat to them.
However, whether the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race had this intention, Zhao Hai had already been on guard against them. Nevertheless, Zhao Hai certainly wouldn’t let himself remain in a perilous situation, so he didn’t let the giant scorpion engage in that battle. Instead, he turned the giant scorpion around and brought it into his own battle group. With the giant scorpion’s addition, Zhao Hai’s pressure noticeably lightened.
Feeling the pressure ease, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but let out a wild laugh, strengthening his offensive power. Coupled with the ever-changing weapons in his hands, Xie Yu and the others quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Upon seeing this, Dingxing and the others’ expressions changed. However, they had no cards left to play. Under normal circumstances, Dingxing and the others should have been at a disadvantage, after all, the darkness king could block the attacks of four Elder Supremes, and the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race should have been able to deal with the other two elders without issue. But the reality was not like that.
With Dingxing’s involvement, the offensive power of the nine Elder Supremes of the divine race seemed to have suddenly strengthened, and they had pushed back the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race. If it weren’t for the darkness king, they would have been in danger by now.
Zhao Hai also noticed this situation but made no comment. He merely intensified his offensive, pushing Xie Yu and the others into an even more desperate situation.
Xie Yu was gasping for breath under Zhao Hai’s pressure, her face turning red with anger as she shouted repeatedly, desperately counterattacking. However, the gap in strength couldn’t be bridged merely by desperation. Xie Yu and the others slowly found themselves at a complete disadvantage, managing to counter only two out of ten attacks.
Just as Xie Yu and the others were completely at a disadvantage, Zhao Hai suddenly disappeared from beside them. The next moment, when he reappeared, he was already behind the Elder Supreme of the Pisces Tribe, who was entangled with the giant scorpion, and his staff transformed into a giant hammer, striking the Elder Supreme’s back.
