The young men and women of the two cities laughed wantonly at the side. Now that Nelly was dead, even if Laylen had balls of steel, he wouldn't dare to kill Jeffrey using the Magical formation.
Not to mention them, even Jeffrey, who was still in the array, let out a sigh of relief.
But before he could laugh for long, the dust dispersed. When the people saw the corpse on the ground clearly, their faces became fearful.
"That, that is!"
"It seems to be mayor Ward!"
The corpse's face was very miserable. Not only was it covered in blood, but there were also a few shoe prints on it.
And the bloody hole in the center of the glabella was a fatal wound.
The corpse's eyes widened, and it died with its eyes wide open.
"Father!"
Ward's two children, John and Phil, cried out at the same time. They could not believe their eyes.
They had thought that the corpse that had fallen from the sky was Nelly, but who knew that it was their father.
The people of both cities were stunned.
Two tier 4 experts had gone to attack one tier 4 expert, and the one who had died was one from the side with two.
This was a fact that everyone could not accept.
Especially the two brothers, they were about to go crazy, because the one who had died was their father.
The guards of the mayor's manor heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that not only could the city lord fight two people at once, he had even killed a tier 4 expert.
Only Laylen remained calm. He had expected this outcome.
Laylen looked at the guards beside him and said, "Those who have broken through to tier 4, come here."
Only two or three people walked out.
"Young mayor, we have broken through to tier 4." The three of them looked at Laylen and said respectfully.
"Just the three of you?" Laylen was a little unhappy. After eating the flesh of the Starry Night Lion, only three guards had broken through to tier 4. To be honest, this result made him very unhappy.
The rest of the guards lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Laylen.
He had given them the flesh of the Starry Night Lion to improve their magical capabilities, but yet only three of them had broken through to tier 4. This made everyone feel that they had let down Laylen's expectations of them.
"Alright, this will do then."
Laylen randomly picked a guard. "Go in and fight that person to hone your battle experience. Now is the time to test all of you."
Laylen had never thought of fighting these people because it would be too boring. This group of people could be used to test the strength of the guards these few days. Even if they could not win, if they were injured, it would help their bodies absorb the blood of the Starry Night Lion.
"Yes, young mayor." The person who was called out said.
"Laylen, let me out! If you have the guts, fight to the death with me!"
Within the barrier, Jeffrey's eyes were red as he roared.
He finally understood that the thunder spears were not actually to kill him. It turned out that Laylen had deliberately kept him alive so that he could be the sparring partner of the mayor's Imperial Guards.
At the side, the group of geniuses felt that their worldview had been destroyed. After all, this was the first time they had seen a new tier 4 mayor's son being used as the training partner of an ordinary guard.
At this moment, the people were still immersed in grief. For example, the John Brothers, as well as the geniuses from Iron Sand City.
Ward's death did not have much of an impact on the people of the border city.
However, they had a bad premonition in their hearts. Two tier 4 guards had surrounded and killed one of them. Now that it was a one-on-one battle, they did not know if mayor White could defeat the traitor Nelly.
Laylen opened a crack in the barrier and allowed one of the guards who had just ascended to tier 4 to enter. He then stopped the magic array and allowed Jeffrey to be a sparring partner for the guards.
He then smiled and said, "My imperial guards are useless. I'll have to trouble you to train them properly."
When Jeffrey heard this sentence. He almost fainted from anger. His eyes were cold as he pounced on the imperial guards. He was prepared to get rid of these imperial guards as quickly as possible.
He wants Jeffrey to become the guards' sparring partner? Impossible!
Jeffrey mobilized his magic power and dived over. At the same time, he began to form a seal and chant a spell.
Violent energy overflowed in his hands, and he was full of power.
Then, he threw a punch.
The Imperial Guard, who had just ascended to tier 4, could be considered as someone who had been through hundreds of battles. Facing Jeffrey's ferocious attack, the imperial guard chose to temporarily dodge the attack. Unfortunately, Jeffrey's figure was too fast under the support of magic, and he did not have time to dodge.
"Pu!"
The punch landed on the Imperial Guard's forearm that was crossed in front of his chest, but it made him spit out blood and fly backward.
Tier 4 was the same realm, but there were differences in strength. For example, Jeffrey, who was the son of the mayor, had been well-groomed since he was young. All of his abilities were personally taught by White. Among those in the same realm, Jeffrey was definitely one of the stronger ones.
"Magical explosion!"
Jeffrey roared in anger, and the violent energy continued to wrap around his fist. The power he emitted seemed to want to destroy everything in front of him.
After the Imperial Guard was sent flying, he rolled around on the ground. However, the violent energy ball flew out of Jeffrey's hand and continued to hit the Imperial Guard's body.
The guard immediately coughed out another mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
The main reason was that Jeffrey's magic was on a completely different level from the magic of the guards. That was why he was injured in the first exchange.
Jeffrey's eyes were cold. He originally thought that two spells would be enough to kill the guard, but he did not expect for him to still be alive.
One had to know that the [ Explosive Spell ] he used was a tier 3 spell. It could extract the magic power in the body and release it in the form of an explosion. The damage was not ordinary
Normally, a person who had just ascended to tier 4 would explode after taking a punch. However, the guard in front of him had only received a few injuries after taking two of his attacks.
However, just as Jeffrey was about to launch his third attack and was about to kill him in one move, a dozen thunder spears condensed beside him.
They blocked in front of him.
Feeling the chill from the thunder spears, he hurriedly retreated.
Jeffrey waited for Laylen, anger surging in his heart. He was so angry that his body trembled, "Quickly let me out! If not, when my father kills the traitor Nelly, I will make sure I destroy your body!"
The barrier in front of the guards split open. He was stunned for a moment and took the opportunity to exit the barrier. At the same time, the crack closed once again and was completely undamaged.
"Young mayor, I'm sorry, I've let you down." The guards who had exited the barrier looked at Laylen and said with shame.
Laylen ignored Jeffrey's shouts and said to the guards, "No matter what, he's the son of a mayor. It's natural for you to lose to him. Go to the side and think through what has just happened."
"Come, next." Laylen pointed at the second guard and motioned for him to enter.
"I'm so angry!!"
Jeffrey's entire body was trembling and his face was red. White smoke was even coming out of his head.
This damned Laylen is actually treating him as a whetstone for the guards.
Magic power once again surged from Jeffrey's body as he flew over and attacked the new guard.
This guard performed even worse. He did not even have the time to resist before he was struck by Jeffrey's series of attacks until he vomited blood.
Just as Jeffrey was about to kill this guard once more...
A thunder spear condensed beside Jeffrey once again. The thunder spear slashed across his arm and instantly a burning smell spread out. Helplessly, Jeffrey could only retreat once more.
The guard beside him took the opportunity to escape the magical formation.
The people around could not bear to watch.
The son of the mayor of the border city had actually become a whetstone.
Before they came, the guards of Vader City had been their whetstones. Who would have thought that their roles would be reversed?
Their people had instead become the whetstones of the mayor's guards.
Furthermore... why was the battle in the sky not over?
As the battle dragged on, some people had a bad premonition.
