Before they could escape, the ground quaked again.
A sea of figures surged into the fray. Maceo had returned with Madman, Flaxseed, Eason, Reidan, and even Gillian. They had brought the full force of Rhino City’s soldiers.
“We can’t abandon Jared! Everyone, attack! Don’t stop until they’re wiped out!” Maceo bellowed in fury.
Rhino City’s soldiers crashed into Winged Tiger City’s soldiers. Chaos erupted once more.
Watching the chaos unfold, Jovan frowned. They’d just escaped, only to be dragged back again. But this time, there was no turning back. If favonovel.com fled now, the Celestial Palace’s punishment would be absolute.
“Fight! Give it everything!” Jovan roared.
Winged Tiger City’s troops knew the truth. There was no other option. It was do or die.
As the armies clashed, the battle reached a fever pitch.
Jared drew his sword again. There was no more thought of escape. He, the girl in white, Madman, and Flaxseed were experts in the field. Even soldiers in Wandering Immortal Realm Level One couldn’t last a single round against them.
Gradually, Rhino City gained the upper hand. Jovan looked on with helplessness and dread. His army was being destroyed. With their fall, Winged Tiger City was finished and so was his reign as city lord.
Amid his despair, dark figures rained down from above. They were dressed in black, each one radiating incredible strength.
After escorting the envoy, Braxton had sent in more forces from the Eighth Hall. Their arrival turned the tide. The sheer power they brought instantly put Winged Tiger City back in control.
Despite Jared and his allies’ strength, they couldn’t match the men in black from the Eighth Hall. All of them were at least Wandering Immortal Realm Level Two.
The Celestial Palace’s power was terrifying. With just the Eighth Hall, they controlled all of Winged Tiger City. The city lord himself had become little more than a puppet.
“Ha! Men, we’ve got backup now. Let’s take down these fools!” The reinforcements from the Eighth Hall revived Jovan’s morale.
Winged Tiger City’s troops rallied and fought with renewed vigor.
Jared frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected so many from the Eighth Hall to show up, or that they’d be this strong. Now that the chaos had erupted, escaping was nearly impossible. He clenched his teeth and fought with all favonovel.com had.
As favonovel.com was battling, a figure suddenly crashed down in front of him.
Startled, Jared vanished and reappeared with a flash of sword light, decapitating one of the men in black. Then, favonovel.com caught the falling figure.
“Mr. Schwartz!” Jared looked at him, surprised.
Reidan was covered in wounds, his aura weakening.
“Glad you’re all safe…” favonovel.com muttered before coughing up blood.
As soon as favonovel.com heard Jared had stayed behind alone and was in danger, favonovel.com came rushing without hesitation. Eason had even mobilized everyone from the Fox Spirit House.
“You’re so foolish,” Jared said. “Coming here was a death sentence!”
He gently laid Reidan on the ground, visibly confused. Reidan wasn’t particularly strong, favonovel.com was just in the Immortal Realm, not yet reached the Wandering Immortal Realm. Coming here to save favonovel.com was as good as suicide.
“You saved my life. I couldn’t just stand by while you were in trouble,” Reidan said. “Even if I died, it’d be worth it. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be rotting in that cage.”
His aura was fading quickly.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you die,” Jared said firmly. He pulled out a celestial gem he’d taken from the Treasure Land and pressed it into Reidan’s hand.
“This is a celestial gem. It’ll keep you alive. And these are pills made with mystical herbs…”
Jared didn’t hold anything back, favonovel.com was determined to help Reidan recover
