As cracks appeared, everyone was startled and spread out, moving away from the collapsing ground to avoid falling into the river below the bridge.
In the next instant, the rising debris began to fall, transforming into meteors showering down from the sky.
The attack from Nami Dragon was indeed fierce, with immense lethality and destructive power. Although…
Its accuracy was not great, its deterrent force was incredibly strong. No one was willing, nor had the courage, to confront Nami Dragon's meteor shower head-on.
In other words…
It was exceptionally effective at buying time!
However, the meteor shower attack lasted only for a moment. As the falling debris began to lessen, some individuals leaped onto the still intact sections of the bridge and started to sprint forward, intending to bypass Bai Ye, leave the Red Gate Bridge, and intercept Jin Sha and Huhu Jing ahead.
Bai Ye sneered, flicked his wrist, and a playing card appeared in his hand, which he flung to the side.
With a *thwip*!
A scream erupted. The person's ankle was struck by the playing card, and blood instantly spurted out. He almost fell from the bridge.
But before the person could even feel relieved, Bai Ye suddenly sprinted forward.
*Bang*!
Bai Ye kicked the person in the head, sending them off the bridge.
However, this was merely the beginning!
As the power of the meteor shower waned, everyone surged forward.
They didn't charge directly at Bai Ye. In their eyes, it was impossible for Bai Ye alone to block everyone. However…
Bai Ye immediately conjured five Taoist talismans into his hand, rubbed them between his fingers, forming a fan shape.
"Earth Spell!"
"Warm Mist!"
The talismans burned. Four of them transformed into earth walls that rose from the ground, forming a straight line and completely blocking the path. The last talisman turned into a warm mist, which would not only continuously restore Bai Ye's stamina and injuries but also obscure vision. With the bridge now riddled with broken sections, poor visibility could easily lead to a fall.
This caused many to curse. Was he truly intending to stop everyone by himself?
Some, enraged, suddenly raised an M16 rifle and aimed it at Bai Ye, gritting their teeth, "We didn't pursue you, and that was giving you a way out. You actually intend to stop everyone? Then die!"
*Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat*…
Gunfire suddenly erupted as the person sprayed bullets at Bai Ye. But at this moment…
Nami Dragon flashed and appeared directly in front of Bai Ye, blocking the bullets for him. Bai Ye, standing behind Nami Dragon, immediately conjured another talisman.
"Thunderous Flash!"
*Boom*!
A deafening roar suddenly echoed in the otherwise clear sky.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking down towards the man.
The man, who had been spraying bullets at Bai Ye, was instantly startled. He glanced around. The ground around him was all broken, forcing him to leap towards a more distant bridge section. But at this very moment…
A cold glint appeared!
The Frost Sword, inheriting the tradition and spirit of all previous "old sixes," had surpassed them and become the ultimate "old six," suddenly emerging at this moment…
*Squelch*!
The sound of flesh tearing echoed!
The man's waist was sliced open by the Frost Sword.
The injury itself was not critical, but the man's body, in mid-air, suddenly took a sword strike. His tensed body instantly lost its strength, and he failed to reach the bridge section, falling directly down.
Simultaneously…
Bai Ye also raised his gun and began firing around.
Damn it, as if only he had a gun!
However, the effectiveness of firearms, while potent in Bai Ye's own world, was only a low-level item on the world battlefield, a fact that was now exposed.
At least half of the people were unfazed, possessing means to block bullets.
A member of the Hidden Dragon Society directly tanked the bullets. His entire body was covered in a metallic sheen, transforming him into a steel man. He strode forward, closing in on Bai Ye, and threw a punch towards him.
But close combat?
Bai Ye was not afraid either!
The steel man's punch landed on Bai Ye's chest, and then he wore a surprised expression.
Bai Ye's physical attributes were already strong. With the bonus from the robust physique attribute and activating the Iron Wall Physique, ordinary punches and kicks had no effect on him.
After taking the opponent's punch, Bai Ye even had the leisure to grin at him, then raised his AK47 and smashed the butt of the gun into the man's face, sending him flying.
And just as Bai Ye sent the man flying…
Another man from the three-person team from the future technology world, holding a grenade launcher, was aiming in Bai Ye's direction.
In the next instant, a total of six grenades flew towards Bai Ye.
"Nami Dragon!" Bai Ye commanded decisively, "Destruction Beam!"
"Yaa~"
Nami Dragon roared, then condensed a light orb in its mouth. It leaned forward, and a beam of light appeared, firing forward.
*Boom, boom, boom*…
The Destruction Beam swept forward. The moment it collided with the grenades, the grenades exploded, emitting loud noises. Large fireballs detonated in the air.
The bridge itself vibrated violently due to the explosions. The already dilapidated bridge deck began to collapse further downwards.
Once the aftermath of the explosions finally subsided, Bai Ye also retreated about twenty meters. Although he had given the opponents some space to establish a foothold, if he didn't create distance, he might also accidentally fall if the bridge suddenly broke.
On the other side, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Society and the woman from the future technology world exchanged glances, seemingly reaching a tacit understanding.
If this stalemate continued, none of them would succeed. By cooperating, they still had a chance to pursue.
"Listen up!" the leader of the Hidden Dragon Society shouted. "Don't engage in prolonged combat, charge forward immediately!"
"Ryder!" the woman also said to her companion, "I'll hold him off, you pursue!"
After speaking, both of them attacked simultaneously, charging towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming considerably more serious.
These two were undoubtedly the strongest among everyone. Their strategy was also clear: they would hold Bai Ye back while the others pursued forward. Otherwise, if this stalemate continued, they would never catch up.
Seeing the two charging towards him, Bai Ye did not defend immediately. Instead, he took out a box of playing cards, opened it, and flung them forward.
The playing cards flew everywhere, like sharp blades, shooting forward.
They were not aimed at the two, but scattered around, forming a "U" shape. Apart from the frontal space, the sides were sealed off, thereby obstructing those who intended to rush past him.
