Others might not know the true strength of the devil generals, but Shen Siyu was very clear. In the previous war between gods and devils, many devil generals fought with him. At that time, Shen Siyu also possessed the Light God’s peak strength, just like today, but no matter which devil general he fought with, it was a very difficult battle.
But this time, Shen Siyu had a completely different feeling when he faced Yao Ren.
Although Yao Ren was from a new generation of devils, he was quite adept at fighting. Shen Siyu wasn’t able to find any chance to kill the other party. He could clearly feel that Yao Ren was deliberately hiding his strength and did not give his all in their fight. Otherwise, it would have been impossible not to find out the disparity between them after fighting Yao Ren for such a long time.
Although Yao Ren did a very good job at defense, he was obviously inadequate in attack.
This kind of situation simply wouldn’t happen with the top powers of the Devil Race, especially in such a life and death battle.
Before their side exchanged blows with the devil generals, Shen Siyu had already estimated the odds of everyone winning, and the chances of victory were pitifully slim. What was more, this estimation was still based on the premise that the Phantom’s magical beasts were by their side. Right now, the magical beasts of Shen Yanxiao and the others were all far away; it was utterly impossible for the situation on the battlefield to be so much better than he had estimated.
Even without mentioning the new generation of devil generals, there was obviously something amiss with the strength of the devil generals who had experienced the war between gods and devils in the past. For ten thousand years, their strength seemed to have not improved at all, even giving Shen Siyu a feeling of retrogression.
This was obviously impossible.
The moment Taotie’s group appeared, the twelve devil generals retreated decisively, which made the suspicion in Shen Siyu’s heart even stronger.
That was why he blocked Tang Nazhi and Shen Yanxiao from continuing their pursuit.
“Big brother Siyu, tell me the truth… Can it be that the devil generals have not shown their real strength so far?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Siyu with a straight face.
Shen Siyu nodded his head.
“Dragon God, do you think so, too?” Shen Yanxiao reconfirmed with the Dragon God.
The Dragon God nodded without hesitation.
Shen Yanxiao’s eyebrows were tightly knit. If Shen Siyu were the only one who felt this way, she could still argue that it might be an illusion, but even the Dragon God felt the same. Then, things were probably not much different from Shen Siyu’s guess.
In fact, as early as when they fought Tian Jue and Ji Ying, Shen Yanxiao had already sensed that although she and Tang Nazhi could limit the other party’s combined attacks, she did not have any chance to kill either of them. Whenever she wanted to provide long-range support to other battlefields, Tian Jue and Ji Ying, who had been pinned down, would suddenly launch a fierce attack.
Once Shen Yanxiao’s attention was drawn back to their battlefield, they would return to their initial state.
“Since they are much stronger, why not just kill us directly?” Mengmeng Qi was brought to Shen Yanxiao’s side by Glory. The situation was very dangerous just now. If Taotie’s group hadn’t appeared in time, maybe he and Glory wouldn’t have lasted too long.
“They seem to have deliberately hidden part of their strength. This hidden part makes them completely unexposed. But if it is within the scope of their revealed strength, they will not hesitate to kill.” Shen Siyu took a look at Tang Nazhi.
Li Xiaowei’s death, Xi Yan’s death.
All casualties were within the scope of the strength the devil generals had exposed thus far.
