As cracks appeared, everyone was startled and scattered in all directions, 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 descending from the sky.
The slime dragon's attack was indeed ferocious, with immense lethality and destructive power. Although…
Its accuracy was not great, its deterrent effect was exceptionally strong. No one was willing, nor had the courage, to confront the slime dragon's meteor shower head-on.
In other words…
It was an excellent way to stall for time!
However, the meteor shower attack lasted only a moment. As the falling debris began to decrease, some individuals leaped onto the still intact parts of the bridge and began to sprint forward, intending to bypass Bai Ye, leave the Hongmen Bridge, and intercept Jinsha and Wailmer ahead.
Bai Ye sneered, flicked his wrist, and a playing card appeared in his hand. He tossed it to the side.
With a *thwack*!
A scream erupted. The person's ankle was struck by the playing card, instantly gushing blood. They nearly fell off the bridge.
But before they could celebrate, Bai Ye suddenly rushed forward.
*Bang*!
Bai Ye kicked the person in the head, sending them tumbling off the bridge.
However, this was merely the beginning!
As the intensity of the meteor shower slightly weakened, everyone started to surge forward.
They didn't charge directly at Bai Ye. In their eyes, it was impossible for Bai Ye alone to block everyone. But…
Bai Ye immediately conjured five Taoist talismans in his hand, rubbed them between his fingertips, forming a fan shape.
"Earth Spell!"
"Warm Mist!"
The talismans burned. Four of them transformed into earthen 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 continuously restore Bai Ye's stamina and heal his injuries. Additionally, the warm mist could obscure vision. With the bridge riddled with broken sections, poor visibility could easily lead to a fall.
This made many curse. Was he truly intending to block everyone by himself?
Someone, enraged, suddenly raised an M16 rifle and aimed it at Bai Ye, gritting their teeth. "We've already given you leeway, and you still want to block everyone? Then die!"
*Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat*…
The gunfire suddenly rang out as the attacker unleashed a barrage at Bai Ye. But at this very moment…
The slime dragon flickered and appeared directly in front of Bai Ye, shielding him from the bullets. Bai Ye, standing behind the slime dragon, immediately conjured another Taoist talisman.
"Thunder Flash!"
*Rumble*!
The relatively clear sky suddenly boomed.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and struck down at the man.
The man, who was firing at Bai Ye, was instantly shocked. He glanced around. The ground nearby was all broken. He could only leap towards a more distant section of the bridge. But at this very moment…
A cold gleam appeared!
The Ning Shuang Sword, inheriting the tradition and spirit of all previous "old sixes," had surpassed its predecessors and become the ultimate "old six." It suddenly emerged at this critical juncture…
*Thump*!
The sound of tearing flesh echoed!
The man's waist was sliced open by the Ning Shuang Sword.
The injury itself wasn't fatal, but the man, suspended in mid-air, was struck by the sword. His tensed body instantly lost its power. He failed to reach the bridge, and plummeted down.
At the same time…
Bai Ye also raised his gun and fired indiscriminately around him.
Damn it, as if only he had a gun!
However, the effectiveness of firearms, which were useful in Bai Ye's own world, was revealed here as being merely low-level items on the world battlefield.
At least half of the people were unfazed, possessing means to resist bullets.
A member of the Canglong Society directly tanked bullets. Their entire body was covered in a metallic sheen, transforming into a steel-clad human. They strode directly towards Bai Ye, a punch aimed at him.
But close combat?
Bai Ye was not afraid either!
The steel-clad figure's punch landed on Bai Ye's chest, and then they wore a surprised expression.
Bai Ye's physical attributes were already formidable. With the enhancement from the strong physique attribute and the activation of Iron Wall, ordinary punches and kicks had no effect on him.
After taking the opponent's punch, Bai Ye even had the leisure to grin and bare his teeth at them. He then raised his AK47 and smashed the butt of the rifle into the opponent's face, sending them flying.
And just as Bai Ye sent the person flying.
Another man from the futuristic technology world's trio, holding a grenade launcher, was aiming in Bai Ye's direction.
In the next moment, a total of six grenades flew towards Bai Ye's position.
"Slime Dragon!" Bai Ye commanded decisively, "Hyper Beam!"
"Yaa~"
The slime dragon roared, then concentrated a light sphere in its mouth. It leaned forward, and a beam of light appeared, firing forward.
*Boom, boom, boom*…
The Hyper Beam swept forward. The moment it collided with the grenades, the grenades exploded, emitting loud noises. Massive 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 aftershocks of the explosions gradually subsided, Bai Ye retreated about twenty meters. Although he created some space and gave the opponents a foothold, if he didn't create distance, he might also accidentally fall if the bridge beneath him suddenly broke.
On the other side, the leader of the Canglong Society and the woman from the futuristic technology world's trio exchanged glances, seemingly reaching a tacit understanding.
If this stalemate continued, no one would succeed. By cooperating, they might still have a chance to pursue.
"Listen up!" the leader of the Canglong Society shouted. "Don't get bogged down in a fight, charge forward immediately!"
"Ryder!" the woman said to her companion. "I'll hold him off, you chase!"
After speaking, both of them attacked simultaneously, rushing 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 off Bai Ye while others pursued forward. Otherwise, if this stalemate persisted, they would truly be unable to catch up.
Seeing the two charging towards him, Bai Ye did not immediately defend. Instead, he took out a box of playing cards, opened it, and flung them forward.
The playing cards flew everywhere, then shot forward like sharp blades.
They were not aimed at the two individuals but scattered outwards, forming a "U" shape. Apart from the space directly ahead, the sides were sealed off, thereby obstructing those who wished to rush past him.
