Fatty: "Is it... over?"

Blade Warrior: "Seems like it...right?"

Xiu Yi's Team: "???"

Mengdie: "..."

If not witnessed firsthand, no one would believe that the mighty Titan royalty could be overwhelmed so easily before this Gun God. The might displayed by the king far exceeds what humans are capable of, even with today's genetic enhancements.

However, through Sky Eye's monitoring of the ground, the result is undeniable, leaving the bosses of various nations speechless. The man with a cigarette hanging from his mouth exudes a unique mysterious aura.

"Who knows who he is?"

"Rafael, appeared towards the end of the war in Saudi Arabia, rumored to be a gunner."

"Lock onto him."

"Yes."

And on the battlefield, under Zhang Xiaobo's persistent inquiries, Feng Yi lifted the brim of his hat slightly, revealing his face. He's Feng Yi!

Aside from Blade Warrior and Xiu Yi, very few people thought he was alive, including the people from Jade Clear Sect. But when they saw Feng Yi, even the serene and detached Mengdie was visibly shaken...

She seemed deeply moved, momentarily forgetting the injuries of Mingfei and the other Protectors as she flew over to Feng Yi's side.

Mengdie clearly wanted to confirm Feng Yi's identity. As her eyes briefly glanced at him, it seemed as if the world, which had been lacking a certain color, suddenly regained its vibrancy, as if the entire world stopped spinning.

Feng Yi, having lived through two lifetimes, faced the sudden appearance of this beauty with only a slight smile and greeted her: "Hey, little fan girl."

That greeting seemed brief yet carried an endless depth of meaning, and a rare blankness appeared in Mengdie's clear gaze.

But who is Feng Yi? The formidable Rafael wouldn't live a carefree life with her.

Fatty Zhang Xiaobo was momentarily dazed, replaced by an indescribable emotion. As comrades who had fought life and death together, and as friends who once bragged and talked about women, tears unknowingly welled up in his eyes: "Feng..."

Feng Yi quickly gestured for Fatty to keep quiet, saying: "Now's not the time to talk. Let's check their injuries while we walk."

Perhaps due to the joy of seeing Feng Yi, everyone remembered the key issue.

Mengdie quickly flew to Mingfei's side and checked the situation... She was also slightly surprised and hurriedly took out the Vitalizing Elixir for treatment.

Unfortunately, Protector Jin wasn't as lucky. Having suffered a sneak attack from a king-level warrior, being a magic-type profession, her physique was far inferior to a warrior's, and now she had no breath left.

Analyzing Blade Warrior's sunken bones, it's clear that the blow's power was far beyond what this group could withstand. Fortunately, Blade Warrior's special body structure allowed him to escape death, but his condition still required urgent care.

Zhan Yu's breathing was weak as well. On the whole, he was alive, far better than Protector Jin.

In Xiu Yi's team, the unconscious Xiu Yi was in terrible shape, with unhealed wounds having ruptured three consecutive times. Even if his body could endure, he was close to bleeding out. If they didn't retreat from the battlefield now, he'd likely die.

There was nothing more to say. Feng Yi suggested Xiu Yi's team and Jade Clear Sect retreat, and even Blade Warrior Yita should abandon the fight. Compared to some meaningless honor, isn't surviving far better?

Given Mengdie's proud nature, she wouldn't retreat unless absolutely necessary. After all, this was a mission, and she clearly had the credentials to stand on this battlefield, even if faced with a group attack from king-level warriors.

But the situation was almost at 'necessity.' With Feng Yi's suggestion, Mengdie surprisingly nodded in agreement, her gaze carrying subtle meaning as it swept past Feng Yi. Her look was deeply meaningful, as if affectionately watching yet seemingly casual, giving a near-and-far illusory dreamlike vibe.

"You truly are somewhat special, a bit inscrutable."

Listening to Feng Yi's half-teasing remarks and seeing his spirited yet warm smile, Mengdie gently turned around and activated the light teleportation for the three. As the white light flickered, a few vanished silently...

"You guys should leave too. Take them with you," Feng Yi said to Red Ghost.

"Hmm... And you?"

"End this meaningless battle quickly."

"End it?" Red Ghost was puzzled by Feng Yi's words, "Three days is the official conservative estimate, but it's only the second day. How do you plan to end it?"

"That's beyond your understanding. Go on."

"Hmm, okay then. But..."

Listening to Feng Yi's commanding tone, Red Ghost wanted to object but felt powerless to refute, and Xixi Kevin naturally had nothing to say.

As the team leader, if normally everyone followed Xiu Yi's words, facing Feng Yi, Xiu Yi would never doubt his judgment. Feng Yi's perspective was far broader than anyone's. If he advised them to leave, it was clear the team no longer suited the battlefield, though why remained unknown.

Red Ghost stubbornly made one last objection: "But, are we just leaving like this?"

"Hmm." Feng Yi seemed to sigh as he spoke to them, "On this battlefield, death and injury are everywhere. Even Jade Clear Sect's Protectors face desperation. Through this battle, you must have realized something?"

"Not worth it, maybe?" Xixi hesitated.

"Exactly, an Honor Ring isn't worth us fighting and killing each other."

"But, Brother Feng, you didn't strongly oppose us back then."

Feng Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "I tried to oppose. I didn't advocate for you joining this plan. Afterwards, surely everyone would regret it? Some things need to be experienced to gain different insights. The reason I taught you something new during those days was to give you reliance on this battlefield, to understand the essence of this fight."

Xiu Yi's team fell into a brief contemplation.

"We're not pawns. No matter the reason, we don't owe grandiose honor—truly ask yourselves, is 'honor' really the answer everyone seeks? When facing danger, compared to losing comrades, calling such things worthless isn't excessive. The fortunate aspect is Xiu Yi's growth; he broke through his limits and unleashed four Thunderbolt Blades simultaneously, which even surpassed me—the key to Xiu Yi's breakthrough wasn't honor, but his desire to protect something, his unyielding obsession. I think at that time, granting Xiu Yi countless Honor Rings wouldn't be as exciting as a single support shot."

"Brother Feng, did you arrive early?" Kevin was amazed, otherwise how could Feng Yi notice Xiu Yi unleashed Thunderbolt Blade.

"Yes, I arrived early. Although I have no interest in this battlefield, I also have someone I wish to protect."

Without a doubt, the person Feng Yi wants to protect is everyone. Because he wishes to see Xiu Yi and the team's growth, he delayed his appearance; concerning Protector Jin's unexpected fate, they'll need to find fortune.
