Chapter 624: Chapter 291 Giant City Trap_2

And when Doll finally escaped the spatial rift, she saw Li Yelai gravely injured.

Li Yelai was still wearing his helmet and mask, but blood was flowing from the cracks in the mask.

“Why did you push me away?”

She hurried to Li Yelai’s side, complaining softly. Carefully inspecting Li Yelai’s wounds, her grievances turned into heartache.

The violent Spiritual Energy gradually calmed down. With reddened eyes, she stared at Li Yelai, wanting to punch him, yet fearing she might touch his wounds.

“Sorry, I wanted us to hide in there together.” After Li Yelai had gulped down a bottle of potion, he replied with difficulty, “Unfortunately, we just missed it…”

He truly had intended to hide with Doll in the spatial rift, which could evade attacks from those below the Supreme. Only a Supreme or even higher level could penetrate the spatial rift. Thus, if both of them had hidden there, they could have simply waited for Fen Xiao to explode on his own.

Unfortunately, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.

There truly was no chance then.

And Li Yelai himself had Mr. Shadow backing him up.

If Doll were hurt, or even… he would never forgive himself.

Therefore, he exerted all his strength to push Doll into the layer of the spatial rift.

“Don’t push me away again…” Doll whispered, her words sounding both like a request and a plea.

Li Yelai remained silent for a moment before nodding.

At that moment, an explosion suddenly erupted atop a distant high-rise building. A fiery dragon spanning a kilometer precisely struck that building.

The fierce Spiritual Energy scorched half of the building.

Li Yelai’s expression changed. Judging from the direction the arrow came from, it must be the location of the Wilderness Ranger. What? Was he under attack?

“It’s the Overlord!” Doll’s voice carried a hint of surprise, “The Overlord of the Giant City started—”

Her voice suddenly paused. Why would the Overlord of the Giant City attack the Wilderness Ranger instead of attacking the Chaos Chosen and the Demon Army?

Their eyes met, each seeing the panic in the other’s gaze.

…

Elsewhere, among the collapsed ruins, the Wilderness Ranger spat out a mouthful of blood.

He crawled out from the debris, but his black bow had snapped. He struggled to lift the arrows in his hand, pointing at a figure in mid-air.

“Why, Overlord of Border City, would you not deal with the Chaos believers and attack me instead?” The Ranger shouted furiously, “Can’t you see your people being harassed by the Chaos believers?”

“A wanted criminal has no place to speak! And… you too are a Chaos believer!” The newcomer was a robust middle-aged man, gazing down at the Ranger, his terrifying presence crashing down like a landslide.

Yet the ranger with the Fifth Sense straightened his body, raising the arrows in his hand.

“I understand, you fear my arrows, don’t you?” The Ranger sneered angrily, “Who would have thought! The mighty Overlord betraying the Giant City!”

He finally figured it out, saw through it all!

Why could the faction of Chaos infiltrate the Giant City so easily?

Because among the guardians of the Giant City, there were human traitors!

And him, being an unexpected combat asset outside their plans, possessing arrows that they feared.

Thus, the Overlord hesitated to show himself, hesitant to make a move.

But once he fired the first arrow, he became the human traitor’s top priority target to kill!

He wanted to kill him first, an unexpected combat asset that could pose a threat to him.

“Human traitor, you are doomed!” The ranger roared, his bronze arrow continually aimed at the Sky Burning Overlord.

“The Black Bow is broken, you merely have an arrow; how are you going to harm me?” Sky Burning regarded the Ranger indifferently, as flames blazed high in the sky.

“Should we try then? This arrow ignores space. Even if you hide in the Father of Plague’s pot, I can still shoot you!” The Ranger sneered, “I can still annihilate you without the bow!”

Indeed, Sky Burning feared the Ranger’s arrows, which was one reason he dared not attack rashly. Failing to kill the Ranger outright was a huge loss.

But now that he had made his move, there was no turning back.

So, he raised his right hand, the crimson flames seemed to illuminate the entire Giant City.

‘Let’s destroy this area along with it!’ he thought.

However, a voice came from afar.

“Yes, Sky Burning… you just try.” The voice was all too familiar to Sky Burning, yet it also greatly surprised him.

“Jiang Shui…” Sky Burning looked astonished at the old man in the distance, “Why are you here?”

In Sky Burning’s plan, this dominator should have been surrounded and attacked jointly by several Sixth-sense Experts. Why was he here?

Hadn’t the Supreme from the Giant City and the other two Overlords gone to protect Mo Chen?

“Isn’t the Supreme and the Overlord still battling outside?”

The Sky Burning Dominator’s face changed dramatically, but he heard Jiang Shui whispering, “The cost is huge… but after all, we’ve drawn out these tumors.”

Almost simultaneously, every Chaos Legion suffered a severe blow from the Giant City Army!

While attacking the high walls, the Plague Legion, after demolishing a section of the wall, saw the Giant City Army outside, fully prepared.

And on the battlefield where Li Yelai was located, a terrifying bombardment fell.

Those of the Fifth Legion and sub-branch elite fighting there all suffered the horrific bombardment.

After a standard advancing barrage, a large number of Border Iron Guard charged into the battlefield.

“How could it be the 23rd Armored Regiment?”

“Hadn’t they gone silent? Weren’t they transferred out of Giant City?”

“Damn it, this is a trap! A trap set by Giant City!”

“Fen Xiao… Fen Xiao, this traitor, he truly has betrayed the Church!”

“He summoned us here just to collaborate with Giant City and surround and annihilate us!”

“This beast, he actually betrayed our Lord!”

“Break out, break out quickly!”

At that moment, those of the Fifth Legion and sub-branch experts, who had just been fighting fiercely, stood united.

Fen Xiao really was a damned traitor! This operation was a trap!

Fortunately, Lord Di Yun saw through the truth!

Wait… Lord Di Yun?

“Quickly go save Lord Di Yun! Fast!” Bai Ya saw a dozen Elite Night Patrol rushing onto the battlefield and screamed frantically, “Quick!”

Li Yelai and Fen Xiao having left, the legion had moved away from the core of the battlefield. Now, Lord Di Yun was isolated and without support!

Bursting with all his might, Bai Ya charged toward the core of the battlefield but was attacked by three Elite Night Patrol.

Even as a Chaos Demon General, he struggled to break through.

Elsewhere, several figures appeared in the ruins where Li Yelai was, moving at the fastest speed towards Li Yelai and Feixue.

Feixue, having fought fiercely against the Little Mad King, was covered with several wounds.

Upon seeing the Elite Night Patrol, his expression suddenly changed.

This was definitely not part of their plan.

Now, with Fen Xiao dead and Emperor’s Fall a betrayal, the legion was facing encirclement… Their plan had utterly failed!

Yet, those Elite Night Patrol were blocking the Little Mad King for her.

One of the Elite Night Patrol even asked, “Master Feixue, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, you came just in time!” Feixue’s eyes flickered, followed by a loud shout, “That’s the Blood God Chosen, Emperor’s Fall! Kill him!”

She was, after all, an official captain of the Giant City, and Emperor’s Fall… regardless of whether he has betrayed the Church, was indeed a bona fide Chaos Chosen!

She could completely use this opportunity to kill that Chosen, thus securing her own identity.

Li Yelai, under Feixue’s identity, slandered Fen Xiao as a traitor, while Feixue didn’t need to slander at all, merely revealing Li Yelai’s Divine Chosen identity to expose him to an ambush.

Therefore, that official captain, along with several elite Elite Night Patrol, charged towards Li Yelai.

One of them, clad in a red robe, was indeed Ma Hongyi!

Seeing Li Yelai, Ma Hongyi’s face changed.

He recognized Li Yelai, not that they were familiar.

But because Li Yelai looked largely unchanged from their last meeting,

Especially the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd in Li Yelai’s hand…

Wasn’t that the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear that Gretwin gave to Mei Wu?

Could it really be him? The one… the Night General?

Ma Hongyi’s gaze shifted to another battlefield, where the one fighting with Feixue… wasn’t that the Little Mad King?

The Night General… the Little Mad King…

Could it be…
