Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar-Chapter 1158 - 509: Sneak Attack

Disappeared.

After Hai Jingfu's death, everyone thought the Demon Army would launch their final cleansing against them, and everyone was preparing for the last desperate fight.

But in reality, the situation was not so.

That relentless, suffocating pressure of attack suddenly vanished.

In its place was a somewhat weak offensive.

The vast Demon Army surrounding them was still present, but only the Little Demons surrounded without attacking or merely feigned attacks and stopped short.

Compared to the previous relentless assaults that came like a tidal wave, it was not the same.

It's as if the previous orders to the Demon Army were to kill them all, and now, it's only to encircle and delay them.

The different orders from behind resulted in a change in the Demon Army's attack rhythm, leading to a completely different experience for the human team.

The most direct feeling was that without the previous suffocating attack pressure, defending against the demons' attacks became much easier.

They didn't even have to put in much effort, merely striking a few times could repel the demons' attacks, unlike before when the demons almost used their bodies as a pile, fearlessly fighting which exerted a great pressure on them.

"What's going on? It seems like the demons have weakened?"

Someone couldn't help but voice their doubts.

Being on such a battlefield, the sudden shift from suffocating pressure to a light and simple response was something they couldn't quite adjust to.

"No, it's not that they've weakened, the main force has shifted... Haven't you noticed? Those Great Demons that occasionally sneak attack us from within the Demon Army haven't shown up for quite a while."

After Hai Jingfu's death, the entire human team was practically leaderless.

But after all, the name of the Seven Great Families was still there, so when the leaders of the remaining families like the Ke Family and Qing Family gathered, everyone naturally gravitated towards them as the core.

Hou Xingchao, as the veteran Guest Elder of the Qing Family, was also the leader of the Qing Family, and practically served as their representative.

He looked around, keenly noticing something, and said in a deep voice.

"After Elder Hai was slain by the demons, the demons didn't take this opportunity to completely resolve us, but instead suddenly slowed their attack rhythm and almost stopped attacking altogether, choosing to lie in wait. Regarding this, I have two hypotheses."

"First, although these Great Demons successfully killed Elder Hai, they're in bad shape themselves and need to lie low to recuperate before coming to crush us again."

Hearing this, some people started nodding, excitedly believing this hypothesis to be quite reasonable. However, these people were from the 'peripheral' group and had not been directly involved in the prior confrontations with the Great Demons with mid to low-level combat strength.

They hadn't delved deeply into this confrontation, lacking understanding of the Great Demons' specific conditions and battle dynamics.

Yet, any Martial Artist who was weighty and had fought those Great Demons intensely was frowning slightly and remained silent.

Because although they fought fiercely with those Great Demons, causing severe losses on both sides, they were nowhere near needing to hide and recuperate before continuing the fight.

Even if Elder Hai was strong, he was only on par with the strongest Silver Lion King Demon, and couldn't possibly cause so many Great Demons to simultaneously lose their combat ability.

While the mid to low-level combatants were excitedly whispering, feeling hopeful of breaking through, the high-level combatants mostly stayed silent, waiting for Hou Xingchao's next analysis.

"Second."

Hou Xingchao extended his second finger.

It's because the demon's attack pressure had decreased significantly that they could gather to discuss the situation, otherwise, with the previous attack pressure, they wouldn't even have half a moment to breathe, let alone gather to discuss strategies.

As for gathering to discuss strategies, that would absolutely provoke an immediate surprise attack by those Great Demons lurking within the Demon Sea, continuously compressing their attack rhythm to push them without time to think or discuss strategies.

But now, the situation was different.

"Then on the demon's side, rather than taking us down in one fell swoop, there might be something more important they need to address first before turning to us."

Someone keenly picked up on the undercurrent in Hou Xingchao's words.

"Lord Hou means... those Great Demons might not be nearby now, but have gone elsewhere to handle something? Doesn't that mean now is the perfect time for us to break through!"

Hearing this, everyone was energized.

No one expected that when they were strongest, they saw no hope of breaking through the Demon Army.

But after the strongest force Hai Jingfu was killed, and the human team's strength drastically reduced, the situation turned around.

"With that being the case..."

The people exchanged glances, all itching to spring into action.

Because this was a chance, perhaps the only chance to escape alive, if missed, once the Great Demons finished handling their other matters and returned, they would inevitably die!

When Hai Jingfu was there, they could still somewhat stand toe to toe with the Demon Army, but now without Hai Jingfu's top-tier strength, if the Great Demons returned, they were all doomed!
