Chapter 29: Spears in the sky
"Zhongli, what should we do? They look like two Hilichurl Chieftain!" Paimon exclaimed instinctively as she looked at the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python.
Back when she first met the Traveler, the Hilichurl Chieftain in the Dragonspine left a deep impression on them.
Although the Hilichurl Chieftain in the game didn't seem that large, in reality, they were several stories high.
At least they were stronger than these so-called Titan Giant Apes.
Moreover, Hilichurl Chieftain generally had elemental attributes, with different elemental Hilichurl Chieftain possessing different strengths.
"Do not panic!"
Zhongli instantly transformed into his "spirit possession" form. Nine fake spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—slowly appeared at his feet.
As the first "spirit ring" glowed, Zhongli clasped his hands together, and an amber light emerged.
This light enveloped Qian Renxue, Ci Xue, Paimon, and Zhongli himself, covering them all.
Chains-like objects locked the shield but did not hinder their movements.
Qian Renxue and Ci Xue examined this yellowish-brown shield, feeling an unparalleled sense of security.
This feeling was indescribable.
But they had an illusion that as long as the shield remained unbroken, they would not be harmed!
Such a powerful spirit ability, and it was only Zhongli's first skill ability?
How terrifying!
At this moment, the Titan Giant Ape's fist came crashing down on Zhongli.
The tremendous force made the ground tremble.
"Hm?"
The Titan Giant Ape withdrew its fist, showing a look of human-like bewilderment.
That punch was nearly its peak punch.
Yet, it didn't even break the opponent's shield?
This left the Titan Giant Ape utterly perplexed.
Impossible! How could its punch be so weak?
"No way, absolutely no way!"
With a roar, the Titan Giant Ape struck Zhongli again, but the result was the same, leaving it deep in thought.
Glancing at Qian Renxue and Ci Xue, who were watching the commotion, the Titan Giant Ape threw a punch at them.
"Miss, watch out!"
Ci Xue hurried forward to block, prepared for severe injuries.
But when he opened his eyes again, he and the ape exchanged a bewildered look.
What's going on?
A dominion body, a shield...
And a group shield at that!
Absolutely terrifying!
"Uh, Uncle Ci Xue, it seems we don't need to run," Qian Renxue remarked.
Zhongli's shield skill was so terrifying that even a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast couldn't break through it.
"Yes, Zhongli's strength is truly terrifying!" Ci Xue replied.
Taking a punch from the Titan Giant Ape without even causing a ripple in the shield was incredibly reassuring.
The Azure Bull Python's expression changed. It knew the strength of the Titan Giant Ape, but a few punches couldn't even break the opponent's shield?
If it took those punches, it would need time to recover, yet the opponent was unharmed...
But now that the arrow was on the string, it had to be released.
It accelerated the gathering of cyan thunder, and in the next moment, a cyan thunderball hurled towards Zhongli.
"Watch out!" Qian Renxue exclaimed, shouting to Zhongli.
She knew Zhongli was strong, but her concern was instinctive.
The cyan thunderball hit the shield without causing even a ripple, leaving both the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape dumbfounded.
How could this be?
Zhongli's first spirit ability, the weakest one, withstood their full-force attacks!
Wait a minute, could the opponent be a terrifying level 99 existence?
If it were such an existence, it would be normal for them to be unable to defeat him.
"Zhongli, are you alright?"
Paimon flew to Zhongli's side, asking nervously.
If something happened to Zhongli, what would she do in this otherworld?
She had no power, no knowledge.
She simply wouldn't survive!
"I'm fine," Zhongli said calmly, shaking his head.
Though his eye twitched slightly which was unnoticed by others.
He had used a bit more elemental energy than intended!
A few more attacks should have caused some ripples in the shield, making it seem like it was on the verge of breaking.
"Two beast kings, leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened," Zhongli said, reasoning with them.
After all, reasoning and physical power needed to be addressed today.
"Human, your spirit ability is so powerful, there must be a limit!"
"You can't deceive us!"
Which strong person would reason with spirit beasts?
Even if he didn't need spirit rings, what about hundred-thousand-year spirit bones?
This human must be trying to trick them into leaving!
Humans are deceitful, and this one is no different.
Zhongli: "..."
It seems that in the Douluo Continent, neither humans nor spirit beasts listen to reason!
Only when one is stronger than the others can reason be spoken.
"Are you two really not leaving?" Zhongli's expression turned more severe.
"Human, you can't deceive us!"
Seeing the hundred-thousand-year spirit rings on Zhongli, their anger grew!
"In that case, you two will stay here!"
Having given up on reasoning, Zhongli was quite speechless.
Several attacks couldn't even break his shield, yet they thought they had reached their limit.
"Roar..."
"Heavenly Judgment!"
With a wave of Zhongli's right hand, it seemed as if many suns appeared in the sky, illuminating the usually dim core area.
Huge rock spears appeared out of thin air, aimed at the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
There were about ten of these spears, amber-colored, glowing like the sun.
Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape: "..."
Wait, what is this?
Qian Renxue and Ci Xue: "..."
Their mouths slightly open, they were speechless.
Is this the strength of the esteemed guest Zhongli?
Terrifying!
As several rock spears fell, the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python showed shocked expressions.
What on earth were these spears, larger than their own bodies?
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
With several consecutive sounds, accompanied by the miserable screams of the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, by the time the third rock spear fell, they could no longer be heard.
This was the weakened version of the dozens of meters-long rock spears. If used at full strength, the kilometer-long rock spears could kill the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape several times over...
They had to listen to either reasoning or physical power. If they didn't listen to reasoning, then physical power would be used.
Qian Renxue and Ci Xue trembled, looking at Zhongli as if he were a monster.
Ci Xue had intended to help, but Zhongli waved his hand, and the two hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts were in a state of life or death.
"So, this is the power of the Morax?" Qian Renxue murmured, her beautiful eyes blinking.
