"The Earth King... died just like that!"

Elsewhere, the Five Protectors were still locked in battle with the three deputy gang leaders. Neither side could gain the upper hand, and neither could defeat the other, leaving them at a complete stalemate.

What was more, unlike the desperate battlefield on the other side—

After realizing they could not easily defeat their opponents, the Five Protectors shifted to keeping them tied down, preventing them from interfering with the Earth King's battle.

They only needed to wait for the Earth King to defeat the werewolf, then join forces with him to capture the three deputy gang leaders alive. Perhaps they could extract some useful intelligence from them.

With the South Warehouse Earth King's strength, he should have been able to easily take down this obscure werewolf.

Although the strength he had displayed earlier was frightening, he was only a Black Iron Tier Professional. He could not possibly be a match for the Earth King.

The battle between the two also unfolded as the Protectors had expected. From the very beginning, both sides fought as though they were risking their lives.

What surprised them, however, was that the werewolf had not fallen into a disadvantage.

From that point on, the Five Protectors gradually began to sense that something was wrong. The werewolf seemed far stronger than they had imagined.

The crucial point was that the five of them were being held back by the three deputy gang leaders, making it difficult for them to support the Earth King.

They had originally planned to wait for the Earth King to come support them, since the enemy was indeed strange. Yet as the battle continued, the South Warehouse Earth King gradually fell into a disadvantage, even attempting to flee before ultimately dying at the werewolf's hands.
