Chapter 4999

On the other side, the battle between Rhino City’s eight guardians and the thirty-six black-armored monks of Flying Tiger City had also reached a fever pitch.

Although the eight guardians were formidable, they gradually struggled against the overwhelming number of powerful enemies.

The Blood Blade Guardian, wielding a blood-colored longsword, charged relentlessly through the enemy ranks. Wherever his sword light swept, blood splattered.

But soon, five black-armored monks surrounded him and simultaneously unleashed the Black Sword Combination.

Five streaks of black sword light shot toward the Blood Blade Guardian like lightning.

Caught off guard, he couldn’t defend in time and was pierced through the body by the sword strikes. Blood gushed out as he let out a defiant roar before plummeting from the sky.

“Brother!”

The other guardians, consumed by grief and rage, fought back with even more ferocity.

Yet the monks of Flying Tiger City seized the momentum and launched an even more intense assault. One of the guardians, locked in a magical clash, was struck by a bolt of black lightning.

His body was instantly scorched, and his consciousness began to fade.

With his last ounce of strength, he activated self-destruction, detonating his own body in a violent blast.

The surge of light and energy engulfed nearby enemies—but he was gone forever, consumed by the explosion.

“Kill!”

The morale of Feihu City’s forces soared, and they pressed their attack with renewed madness.

Rhino City’s defenses began to crumble, and more and more of its monks fell one after another.

Seeing this, Xie Zhong’s eyes gleamed coldly. He quickly formed seals with both hands, chanting under his breath.

Moments later, black clouds blanketed the sky, and a massive black pillar of light descended from above, locking onto Gadfly.

Gadfly felt the terrifying pressure within the beam and turned pale as paper.

Clenching his teeth, he burned his own blood essence, causing the divine bull phantom behind him to blaze even brighter as it charged head-on into the black pillar.

The two forces collided, and a blinding explosion erupted. Within the light, Gadfly’s figure wavered, blood dripping steadily from the corners of his mouth.

Below, Rhino City’s army was in full retreat, overwhelmed by Flying Tiger City’s ruthless assault. The shadow of death hung heavy over the battlefield—Rhino City was on the brink of total collapse…

“Father…”
At that moment, Fengxian and Bai Yi emerged from the side of Feihu City, bringing Niu Ben with them!

If not for the chaos at the border, escaping Feihu City so easily would have been impossible.

“Ben’er…”

Upon seeing his son, Gadfly’s expression lit up with joy.

But as Gadfly was momentarily distracted, Jie Zhong suddenly drew his bow and launched a sword-shaped projectile at him!

Caught off guard, Gadfly couldn’t evade in time. The sword struck him, and his body crashed heavily to the ground!

“Father…” Niu Ben cried out and rushed over in panic.

Seeing his son unharmed, Gadfly managed a faint, relieved smile.

Fengxian and Bai Yi both looked grim.

Rhino City was clearly at a disadvantage, and many Feihu City monks hovered menacingly in the sky.

Even more dark-clad troops loomed on the ground below.

Even if the two of them joined the fight, it would be like a drop in the ocean—completely futile.

“I hope you two can escort Niu Ben back to the city. I’ll hold them off here,”

Though injured, Gadfly wasn’t dead yet and addressed Fengxian and Bai Yi with determination.

“City Lord Niu, are you still able to fight?” Bai Yi asked with concern.

“How about we stay and buy some time? Once big brother arrives, taking down those Feihu City bastards will be easy,”

Fengxian said to Gadfly.

Kai’s current strength was far greater than theirs. If he could defeat Jie Zhong and the thirty-six black-armored monks, Feihu City would lose its leadership and be forced to retreat.

“Aren’t you with big brother?” Gadfly asked, confused.

“We were being pursued. My son-in-law and Master Hu stayed behind to stall them. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it out so easily,”

Bai Yi explained.
