The Black Dragon was already violent and frenzied. Upon hearing the insults from the Giants, its eyes turned slightly red. With a furious roar, it swept over the Demon and Beastman troops, heading straight for the Mountain and River Origin.

Zhou Leng noted that the aura was from the Late Stage of Body Refining, and felt reassured.

A Giant Dragon at the Late Stage of Body Refining could contend with humans of the Vitality Stage's middle or even late period, but so could a Giant.

Zhou Leng glanced at the Beastmen with long spears on their backs.

The Black Dragon and the Mountain and River Origin clashed in the open space between the two teams.

"Huff..."

The Black Dragon opened its mouth, spewing flames filled with a sulfuric smell.

Mountain and River Origin sidestepped to dodge, suddenly delivering a hand chop squarely to the Black Dragon's throat.

"Cough..." The Black Dragon's flames were interrupted, smoke puffing from its mouth, as it clawed and tore a large piece of flesh from Mountain and River Origin's upper arm.

Mountain and River Origin seemed to feel no pain, stepping on the ground, the body suddenly lunging forward.

Iron Mountain Lean.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie witnessed this scene, their pupils dilating abruptly.

The Giant's Iron Mountain Lean.

Mountain and River Origin rushed forward like a charging mountain, crashing solidly into the Black Dragon's chest.

Bang...

The massive Black Dragon's body was knocked down, collapsing a large swath of Demon and Beastman in its path, tumbling uncontrollably on the icy ground, wings and tail flailing wildly.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie exchanged a glance, understanding that if this strike landed on them, they'd be shattered.

Molten Hammer praised, "A giant who knows martial arts, no one can stop them!"

The group charged into the Demon and Beastman horde.

Though Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, Molten Hammer, and Black Barrel were powerful, faced with so many Demons and Beastmen, they could only initially defend passively.

But the Mountain and River brothers, with their massive bodies and formidable strength, scattered the enemy formation.

The result was six people overwhelming thirty-odd Demons and Beastmen.

Mountain and River Origin charged, taking the Mountain-Stepping Step, like a mountain with each step, scattering the Demons and Beastmen, heading towards the dazed Black Dragon.

The Giant Dragon, worthy of being one of the strongest races in the Ten Realms, quickly stood up, casting spells while fighting Mountain and River Origin.

The battle between the two was intense, and Jade Wings appeared at the rear of the passage, squinting his eyes to observe.

He was secretly shocked, seeing Mountain and River Origin's terrifying strength and exquisite skills.

"Can't go head to head with a Giant who knows martial arts. If he doesn't die, I won't fight head-on. I infiltrated here with many dragons six months early; I can't lose my life now. As for the human Master Frosty Hand mentioned..."

Zhou Leng found a flaw in the Demon ahead, struck with his palm, hitting the Demon's forehead.

Bang!

Red and white splattered simultaneously.

Then, with a sweeping kick, he broke another Demon's waist and abdomen.

"Hmm? Also quite powerful." Jade Wings glanced at Zhou Leng, then looked towards Mountain and River Origin.

Mountain and River Origin was very strong, and the Black Dragon was strong too, using various spells for protection, making it hard for Mountain and River Origin to prevail immediately.

Elsewhere, Mountain River Oak adhered strictly to Zhou Leng's tactics, not needing to attack primarily, using its huge body to charge back and forth, disrupting the opponent's formation.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie then joined forces, quickly eliminating one Demon or Beastman after another.

"Awoooo..."

A wail echoed through the passage.

Everyone's body shook, collectively looking towards the source of the Black Dragon's roar.

They saw Mountain and River Origin raise its giant foot, slamming down on the Black Dragon's head.

Bang!

The Black Dragon's head exploded.

The Giant slayed the Dragon.

Mountain and River Origin turned, running slowly towards the Demons and Beastmen, like a deity in the darkness.

The morale of the Demon and Beastman army collapsed instantly, fleeing chaotically.

Jade Wings was greatly pleased, thinking, "I was indeed sharp-eyed; had I fought that Giant, I'd likely be like the Black Dragon now."

He saw some Beastmen approaching, frowned, opened his mouth, and a toxic swamp appeared ahead, blocking the Beastmen's path.

"How dare you flee, cowardly like mice!"

After speaking, Jade Wings rapidly retreated, closely watching Mountain and River Origin.

Zhou Leng and the others gave chase to the remaining Demons with large strides, stepping forward when dense, black silhouettes loomed ahead.

Everyone simultaneously halted.

The fleeing Demons, having escaped death, pointed loudly at Mountain and River Origin, shouting, "They killed our comrades! They even killed Pure Black Fang!"

"Who killed Pure Black Fang!" roared a new Black Dragon larger than the previous one.

Vitality Stage Giant Dragon.

"It was that Giant!" a Demon said.

"Kill him, and you shall have my gratitude!"

"Kill!"

Zhou Leng and the others looked on, besides that Vitality Stage Black Dragon, there were four other Vitality Stage Demons.

But like Jade Wings, their aura was not especially strong, as if they had just advanced a few months ago.

Zhang Xinglie immediately understood and said, "I got it! For this operation, they infiltrated here in batches several months or even a year ago! At that time they were only at the Body Refining Stage, so even high-tier Giants wouldn't notice. But many of them were at a critical point for promotion, so now they've all ascended to the Vitality Stage."

"Everyone, be careful, it's completely different after the Vitality Stage," Molten Hammer said solemnly.

Mountain and River Origin stepped forward and said, "You all fall back, leave all the Vitality Stage to me."

"Brother..."

They believed that if Mountain and River Origin were to fight a single Vitality Stage Giant Dragon, victory was possible.

But now, in addition to four entire Vitality Stage Demons.

Even combining all their efforts might not ensure victory.

Mountain and River Origin grinned, saying slowly, "In the Giant World, they curse me as a human; in the Human World, they curse me as a giant. Here, you only regard me as a comrade. No one can kill my comrades while I stand."

Everyone looked at Mountain and River Origin's silhouette from behind.

Mountain and River Origin shouted loudly in Dragon Language, "Black Dragon, do you want to fight me? Let your Vitality Stage Demons face me."

"Fine! Let's all attack together." The Black Dragon was unreserved, then glanced at Zhou Leng and the others dismissively, saying, "Capture if you can, if not, break their limbs."

Over a hundred Demons and Beastmen surged forward.

They wisely bypassed Mountain and River Origin, charging towards Zhou Leng and the others.

Zhou Leng looked ahead, facing too many Demons and Beastmen.

Even Late Stage Body Refining was strong, unable to tread over them as before, to kill the Spellcasting Demons or Beastman Wizards.

The group charged several times, only to be firmly blocked each time.

"Let's back up against the wall and defend!"

"I want to save my brother," Mountain River Oak stubbornly said.

"Oak, help protect our teammates," Mountain and River Origin instructed, striding forward to confront the Vitality Stage Black Dragon.

A dragon and a man collided violently, entangled in combat.

The earth trembled, and flames splattered.

Giant fists struck out, dragon wings flapped madly.

Four Vitality Stage Demons constantly sought opportunities to attack Mountain and River Origin.

Before long, Mountain and River Origin was covered in injuries, his body scorched and blackened.

However, after merely a dozen exchanges, Mountain and River Origin tore off one of the Vitality Stage Black Dragon's wings with a fierce pull.

Hiss...

Mountain and River Origin flung the dragon wing far away, while the Black Dragon retreated, shouting.

"Kill him! Kill him!" The four Vitality Stage Demons surrounded and attacked from four directions.

Mountain River Oak glanced at Mountain and River Origin, who was wounded all over. Tears welled in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth, standing beside Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, Molten Hammer, and Black Barrel, fighting shoulder to shoulder.

The nearby demons and beastmen were of little consequence in their eyes.

From behind, various spells from the Demon Warlocks and Beastman Wizards continuously bombarded them.

Fear Technique, Chaos Technique, Darkness Descends, Slow Curse, Deepen Wound, Heart of Sorrow, Light of the Plague, Severe Pain Totem...

All sorts of negative spells poured down like a heavy rainstorm.

Before long, the five were frequently making mistakes, their bodies riddled with wounds.

Especially Mountain River Oak, with his large body becoming the main target of demons and beastmen.

The Demon Warlocks and Beastman Wizards seemed more inclined to capture rather than using particularly powerful attack spells.

Zhou Leng distributed the dispelling honey from the Dwarf Race to everyone, yet it was quickly overpowered by the overwhelming spells.

"No, Mountain River Oak, we must fight our way through, even if it means death, to first kill those warlocks and wizards."

"Alright! I've been holding back for too long!"

Mountain River Oak took out a three-meter long, waist-thick steel pillar from the Magic Spirit Bag, equipped with special grips.

He grasped it firmly, then swung it mightily in front of him.

The three-meter long steel pillar swept across, sending a slew of beastmen and demons flying to the sides.

Several were crushed and torn apart, lying on the ground, gasping their last breaths.

The five charged forward directly.

Those Demon Warlocks and Beastman Wizards retreated while casting spells.

The ground transformed into marshes, quicksand, webs, and walls appeared ahead.

Their speed greatly diminished, they were once again surrounded by demons and beastmen.

Mountain River Oak glanced into the distance.

Mountain and River Origin was being surrounded and beaten by the Black Dragon and four Vitality Stage Demons.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!" Mountain River Oak's eyes turned red as he frantically swung the steel pillar.

Yet, he couldn't touch the Demon Warlocks and Beastman Wizards.

Zhang Xinglie suddenly grinned.

"I didn't expect to die here. Since this place will be our burial ground, let's take down some companions before we die!"

Zhang Xinglie kicked through the chest of a demon.

"Haha, I've killed three beastmen already, quite the profit!"

Molten Hammer wiped beast blood from his face with his left hand, swinging his hammer with his right.

Faced with death, Zhou Leng's ferocity intensified, the image of the Cosmic Tsunami constantly appeared in his mind.

Even in death, one must be as magnificent and fierce as that Cosmic Tsunami.

To kill more demons before dying.

More.

Death?

If it can't be changed, don't think about it.

Unconsciously, Zhou Leng broke through the Mid-Stage Body Refining, entering the Late Stage of Body Refining.

The strength of his body soared dramatically.

Each punch and kick was imbued with tremendous power.

A Late Stage Body Refining beastman punched at him.

Zhou Leng responded with a palm strike.

Killing Move, Thousand Tides Pouring into the Sea.

Bang!

Both retreated simultaneously.

The beastman chuckled, stepping forward, intending to throw a second punch, only to notice something wrong with his right arm.

Turning to look, chunks of flesh fell away from his right arm, followed by bones fracturing into segments.

"You..."

Zhou Leng advanced, his right arm like a blade, piercing through the beastman's abdomen, True Qi swirling and shredding organs.

A demon's sharp blade cut into Zhou Leng's shoulder, slicing open an inch-deep wound.

Zhou Leng remained unfazed, continuing his attack.

A tragic scream suddenly echoed.

Zhou Leng and others looked toward the sound.

"Black Dragon? Vitality Stage?"

Mountain and River Origin's voice rang out.

The four Vitality Stage Demons slowly retreated, fear apparent in their eyes.

Mountain and River Origin raised the head of the Black Dragon high.

Blood flowed from the severed neck of the Black Dragon, its lifeless white eyes dim.

Mountain and River Origin dropped the dragon head, charging toward the four Vitality Stage Demons.

"It's your turn!"

Mountain and River Origin grinned, blood filling his mouth.

His body was covered in grotesquely large wounds, deep enough to expose bone.

The four Vitality Stage Demons repeatedly retreated, not daring to confront him head-on.
