Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

The members of the Spirit Hall felt their scalps tingle, a cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

This was utterly unbelievable!

They knew exactly how powerful Golden Crocodile Douluo was.

It was precisely because they knew his strength that they felt the threat of death looming over them.

If Zhongli hadn't come today, and they had decided to fight these Hilichurls to the death, would they have all perished?

No wonder, no wonder Diluc, despite his terrifying strength, still sought "allies" to help exterminate these Hilichurls.

And this was just one of them! It didn't mean that all Hilichurls were of this level.

Judging by their size, the torch-carrying Hilichurls were the smallest, and their strength among the Hilichurls wasn't particularly high.

"Are we... truly the strongest force on the Douluo Continent?"

At this moment, everyone in the Spirit Hall, including Qian Daoliu, fell into deep contemplation.

After cultivating for so many years, they had thought themselves invincible in the world.

Who could have imagined that there were always greater beings beyond their knowledge?

These seemingly unintelligent Hilichurls had just taken down one of their top fighters with a single combo...

Golden Crocodile Douluo, despite his age, was a formidable force.

Now, he had become the standard measure of combat strength.

The Spirit Hall had only one such second elder.

In the entire Douluo Continent, there was only one peak existence at the 98th level.

Even Qian Daoliu couldn't easily defeat Golden Crocodile Douluo in a short time.

But these Hilichurls...

Fortunately, Hilichurls couldn't fly, so he was in an invincible position.

The commotion here had caught the attention of the Hilichurl Berserkers and the Stonehide Lawachurl.

The Stonehide Lawachurl, marked with the seal of the abyss.

They were different from ordinary Hilichurls, exuding an aura of the abyss.

"Roar~"

A deafening roar echoed through the skies.

The Stonehide Lawachurl stood up from the ground, and visible amber light began to flow into its body.

The amber gemstones on its body started to glow.

The terrifying aura made everyone's expressions change, and even Diluc looked somewhat grave.

Wait, the person beside him was the Geo Archon...

The grave expression on his face quickly faded.

As the Stonehide Lawachurl began to stir, all the Hilichurls in the camp stood up, wielding their weapons and charging at the group.

Those without weapons roared and screeched, rushing toward them.

With Golden Crocodile Douluo's fate as a cautionary tale, and the protective shields around them, the group wasn't as terrified as before.

They released their spirits and prepared to face the Hilichurls head-on.

Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu chose not to confront the Stonehide Lawachurl directly, opting instead to deal with the Hilichurl Berserkers.

This particular Hilichurl Berserker wielded an axe.

It originally had an indestructible shield, but Diluc had destroyed it.

Seeing Diluc again, it wanted to settle the score, but was intercepted by a spider and a bird-like human.

"Roar~"

The Hilichurl Berserker didn't hold back, swinging its axe at the "spider."

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, but the shield blocked the attack, and she let out a sigh of relief.

Every time the shield was hit, ripples would appear, making it seem like it was on the verge of breaking, yet it never did.

This happened every time, which meant it was intentional.

As expected of the Martial God, even the shields he created were so...

Wait!

As if realizing something, Bibi Dong and the others froze, instinctively turning their gaze to Zhongli.

If they remembered correctly, Zhongli hadn't used any spirit skills when he cast this shield!

He hadn't even released his spirit ring...

At this thought, their minds raced.

There was something off about Zhongli. He definitely had a big secret!

If there wasn't, they'd eat their hats!

Damn, he had hidden it well!

Creating fake spirit rings to deceive them...

At first, he claimed to be at the 98th level, but when he couldn't hide it anymore, he said he was at the 99th level.

In the end, he wasn't a spirit master at all!

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was at the 98th level with the same spirit ring configuration as Zhongli, had already been beaten.

The two at the 99th level, with better spirit ring configurations than Zhongli, were also being beaten.

Those weren't spirit rings!

Sensing their gazes, Zhongli seemed to realize something. Though his expression remained unchanged, a hint of helplessness flickered in his eyes.

How could he have forgotten that spirit masters needed to release their spirits and show their spirit rings when using spirit skills?

Thinking about it, Zhongli shook his head. Qian Daoliu had already guessed his identity, though not entirely accurately, he had figured out that Zhongli wasn't "human."

Qian Daoliu didn't know how powerful a god could be, but he knew exactly how strong a human could be.

Even with the power of the angel god, he could only reach the level of a demigod.

With a bit more strength, he could become a quasi-god.

But a quasi-god couldn't be that much stronger than a demigod...

Thus, Qian Daoliu had deduced that Zhongli wasn't human.

At the very least, he wasn't an ordinary human.

Meanwhile, the Stonehide Lawachurl bent its knees slightly and leaped into the air, crashing down toward Zhongli and the others.

"Martial God, be careful!"

"Watch out!"

This was the Lawachurl!

Its attack, "Jumping Slam," was a devastating blow from above.

The impact of this strike could likely create a massive crater in the ground.

The Stonehide Lawachurl, descending from the sky, was like a meteor, terrifyingly powerful.

Xianyun, standing beside Zhongli, had initially planned to leap away to avoid the attack, but seeing that Zhongli hadn't moved, she decided to stay.

If the Geo Archon wasn't moving, why should she worry?

Thus, neither of them made any move to dodge.

"Move out of the way..."

The speed of the descent was incredibly fast.

Speaking a full sentence was already pushing it.

Just as everyone was filled with concern, Zhongli's eyes glowed with an amber light, and his arms transformed into hands covered in ancient runes.

At that moment, his aura shocked everyone.

This aura was something the Stonehide Lawachurl couldn't even compare to.

Zhongli extended one hand, reaching out to catch the descending Lawachurl.

To everyone's astonishment, the Stonehide Lawachurl was like a child, leaping into Zhongli's hand without causing even a ripple.

The Stonehide Lawachurl blinked, confused.

This move of his had crushed countless creatures, yet now it had been caught by a "human"?

And not just caught, his entire body had been stopped?

At this moment, the Stonehide Lawachurl was baffled. Even though it was influenced by the abyss, it was still stunned.

This didn't make sense!

Seeing the devastating attack being so effortlessly neutralized by Zhongli, everyone was equally dumbfounded.

Just how terrifying was this man?

While they marveled, they also wondered how Zhongli would deal with this Lawachurl.

The Lawachurl looked fearsome, yet Zhongli had lifted it with one hand.

This only made Zhongli seem even more formidable...

With one hand holding the Stonehide Lawachurl, Zhongli's other hand was not idle.
