Chapter 5008

But before he could escape, the ground trembled, and a group of people charged over!

Gadfly had returned—with reinforcements. Fengxian, Hu Mazi, Bai Yi, Xiu Rui, Nuo Qing…

They had all come back, bringing with them the full force of Rhino City’s soldiers!

“How can we abandon our big brother? Kill every last one of them!” Gadfly roared.

The soldiers of Rhino City surged forward, clashing with the troops of Feihu City.

The battle reignited fiercely!

Xie Zhong frowned when he saw this. He had already escaped once but was now forced to return.

This time, he understood there was no way out—if he fled again, he would never survive the punishment of the temple.

“Kill them all! Fight to the last breath!” Xie Zhong roared.

The soldiers of Feihu City knew they had no path left except to fight to the death.

The battlefield erupted into chaos as both sides collided at full force!

Seeing this, Kai also charged forward with his sword, no longer thinking about retreat.

Kai, the girl in white, Fengxian, Hu Mazi—all of them were experts. Among the soldiers, they were unstoppable. Even those in the early stages of the Sanxian Realm couldn’t withstand a single blow from them!

Gradually, Rhino City gained the upper hand. Jie Zhong looked around, helplessness and fear filling his eyes.

With his forces crumbling, Feihu City was on the brink of collapse—and he, as city lord, would be finished.

Just as Jie Zhong was falling into despair, a sudden rain of black shadows descended from the sky.

These figures, all clad in black, exuded immense power.

After escorting the patrol envoy, Huo Zhao had dispatched reinforcements from the Eight Palaces.

Their arrival instantly shifted the balance in favor of Feihu City.

Though Kai’s group held the advantage in individual strength, the black-clad warriors from the Eight Palaces were all at least second-rank Sanxian Realm cultivators.

It had to be admitted—the strength of the temple was truly overwhelming.

Otherwise, how could the Eighth Palace alone dominate Feihu City and treat its city lord, Jie Zhong, like a mere subordinate?

“Hahaha, brothers, reinforcements are here! The temple’s forces have arrived—kill them all!”
Jie Zhong’s confidence surged!

The morale of Feihu City’s soldiers instantly soared!

Kai frowned. He hadn’t expected the Eight Palaces to have such overwhelming numbers—and such powerful forces.

But now that the battle had erupted into chaos, retreat was no longer an option.

He could only grit his teeth and fight on!

Just as Kai gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword and prepared to fight to the death, a figure suddenly fell in front of him!

Startled, Kai vanished in a flash. A burst of sword light shot out, instantly decapitating a black-clad warrior from the Eight Palaces.

After taking down the enemy, Kai swiftly caught the falling figure.

“Brother Xiu…” Kai looked down at Xiu Rui.

Xiu Rui was covered in wounds, his breath growing faint.

“I’m relieved… to see you’re safe,” Xiu Rui said, coughing up blood.

Upon hearing that Kai had been left alone in danger, he had rushed over without hesitation.

Bai Yi had even brought everyone from Linghu Square.

“You’re too reckless. Charging into a battle like this is basically suicide,” Kai said, puzzled, as he gently laid Xiu Rui on the ground.

Xiu Rui’s strength was limited. He was only at the peak of the Immortal Transformation Realm and hadn’t even reached the Scattered Immortal Realm.

Coming here to save Kai was practically a death sentence.

“You saved my life. I can’t just stand by while you’re in danger.”

“Even if I die, it’s worth it. Without you, I’d still be rotting in that cage for who knows how long,” Xiu Rui whispered, his breath weakening.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let you die.”

With that, Kai took out the immortal stone he’d found in the treasure land and placed it in Xiu Rui’s hand. “This is an immortal stone. It will heal you.”

“And these pills are refined from top-grade immortal herbs…”

Kai generously brought out every resource he had to help Xiu Rui recover.
