Chapter 4959

“I think they’re after the treasure land—Rhino City has occupied it, and Flying Tiger City refuses to accept that,”

Bai Yi said.

“Treasure land?” Kai was stunned, his face full of confusion.

“Brother, I’ll explain later. Let’s deal with these intruders first,”

Gadfly replied. As he finished speaking, his figure flickered and he charged straight at the Western Region spies.

Seeing this, Kai called out to Bai Yi and Fengxian, “Let’s go too—we can’t just eat and drink for free!”

With that, Kai unsheathed the Dragon Slaying Sword and rushed forward!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kai slashed three times in quick succession!

Each strike hit its mark—three Western Region spies fell, their lives ended in an instant.

These spies had been wearing specialized armor forged by the War Corps—armor that was not only incredibly tough but also infused with turtle blood to enhance its resilience.

Yet Kai’s strikes pierced right through, killing them outright, leaving the remaining spies in shock.

Already outnumbered and now facing a powerhouse like Kai, their morale crumbled instantly.

“Courting death…”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion roared and slashed at Kai with a blade.

A blood-red long knife shot into the sky, crashing down with a suffocating aura of death.

Kai, unfazed, raised the Dragon Slaying Sword to meet the attack.

“You dare lay a hand on my big brother?”

Fengxian shouted in rage. His figure darted forward, placing himself between Kai and the oncoming strike. With both palms, he struck out.

Twin red flames surged from Fengxian’s hands, colliding violently with the blood-red long knife.

In a thunderous explosion, the long knife shattered into countless fragments, and the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing into a pillar.

His helmet was knocked off, and he spat a mouthful of blood, staining the chest of his battle armor bright red.

“H-How is this possible…”
The shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion stared at Fengxian in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Y-You… you’re Fengxian?”

He was stunned. Fengxian had been trapped in the Purgatory for hundreds of years—everyone assumed he was dead. Yet here he was, alive and standing before him.

What shocked him even more was that Fengxian had just called Kai “Big Brother.”

He didn’t know Kai’s full identity, but the token had come from him—clearly, Kai had a special connection to the City Lord’s Mansion. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had that token.

“It’s you?”

Kai was also surprised upon recognizing the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion.

At that moment, Gadfly approached and clearly saw the man’s face. His pupils shrank, and a wave of shock washed over him.

“It’s you—Li Tianbao!”

Gadfly’s voice trembled with anger and disappointment. “I trusted you enough to put Tianbao Pavilion in your hands… but you were a Feihu City spy all along!”

Li Tianbao struggled to his feet, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth as he sneered.

“Gadfly, don’t be so naïve. In a world where the strong devour the weak, who doesn’t want more resources? Your Rhino City took the treasure land and monopolized it—of course Feihu City won’t just stand by.”

“Shut up!”

Gadfly roared furiously as his aura erupted, surging with killing intent.

“None of you will leave here alive!”

As he spoke, his hand formed a series of gestures, activating the formation above the City Lord’s Mansion. The barrier lit up, and chains materialized from the void, shooting toward the remaining Feihu City spies.

Just as the fierce battle raged on, a sudden cry rang out from the distance.

“Let me go!”

Niu Ben appeared, being dragged out of a room by a Feihu City spy who held him hostage. The spy’s hand gripped Niu Ben’s throat—one wrong move, and his life would be forfeit.

“Father! Save me!”

Niu Ben cried out in fear.

Gadfly froze, a flicker of panic flashing in his eyes.

“If you dare harm my son, I swear I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

His eyes burned with rage, and murderous intent surged through his entire being.
