In the next moment, the clash of their blades sent Azure Dragon retreating about ten steps, while Phil stepped back about five or six steps. Azure Dragon, slightly at a disadvantage.
After Phil stabilized his figure, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn’t expect Azure Dragon to be able to force him back several steps.
“Surprised?” Azure Dragon pointed at him. “Consider this a warning. If you blabber again, I’ll take your head!”
Stout and Judge exchanged glances, each with a twitch at the corner of their mouths. It seemed those around Billy were extraordinary, good at making threats.
“If you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly oblige!” Phil, visibly angered, raised his blade to strike again.
“Phil, hold it!” Death intervened. Looking at Billy, Death continued, “King of the West, I’ll give you one last chance. Destroy your cultivation on your own, and I’ll spare those by your side. Otherwise, not only you and the two thousand people you brought, including the remaining members of Rakshasa Hall, but everyone here will die today!”
“Why are you acting so naive, Lord of Sanctum of Darkness?” Billy calmly responded. “Do you think I came here today just to ruin my cultivation?”
“In that case, let’s get down to business!” Death’s tone turned serious. “Let me see how capable Glavale’s King of the West really is.”
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him.
“Fine!” Billy’s eyes narrowed. “Are you planning to fight here, or should we find another place?”
“The space here is limited, let’s find another place.” Death replied. He was well aware that if they fought here, the twenty thousand people below would likely become cannon fodder without even lifting a finger. Turning, he walked towards an open lawn on the east side of the estate, accompanied by two Vice-Lords of Sanctum of Darkness who were Tier-two War God-Emperors.
This was their prearranged plan–take down Billy Gardner first, and the rest would be no challenge. Moreover, apart from the three of them, there were two Tier-one War God-Emperors and three Novice War God-Emperors in their group. In addition, there were four pseudo War God-Emperors, four half-step War God-Emperors, and eight War Emperors in the Dark Pavilion Elders. With such strength, it was obviously not difficult to take down the remaining people of the opponent.
“Billy, I’ll go with you?” Ivy Chandler remained concerned.
“No,” Billy shook his head. “Stay here and watch over everyone.”
“But…” Ivy Chandler seemed worried. Though she knew Billy could challenge higher levels, dealing with three War God-Emperors was undoubtedly challenging.
“Don’t worry!” Billy reassured her with a smile before following Death.
“Boss, be careful!” Casey and others simultaneously spoke.
“It’s time to act. Leave no one alive!” Billy, without looking back, gestured, and everyone responded in unison.
“Understood!” they echoed.
“Attack!” The onlooking followers of Sanctum of Darkness shouted again, and the twenty thousand people rushed forward, weapons raised.
“Idiot, don’t you want to start a war? Come on, I’ll give you a ride!” At this time, Azure Dragon looked at Phil and said coldly.
“Boy, I will definitely make you regret coming to this world!” Phil glanced at Azure Dragon with cold eyes. After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and shouted loudly, “Go ahead and kill them all!”
Ten to twenty thousand people mobilized at the same time, and they all surrounded Casey.
“Casey, Azure Dragon, leave the two God-Emperor Realm to me, and you two will deal with the other sub-leaders and the pseudo God-Emperor ones.” Ivy Chandler said and quickly rushed towards Phil and an old man with a goatee.
“Ivy, please pay attention to your own safety!” Casey replied, then raised his knife and dodged towards the other three deputy palace masters who had just become emperors.
Azure Dragon originally intended to challenge Phil directly but, seeing the situation, didn’t insist. He faced the four pseudo God-Emperors Elders.
Night Orchid and Frostblade confronted the remaining elders, while White Tiger and Judge dispersed, entering the crowd of twenty thousand followers.
“Tsk, there are indeed many beauties in Glavale!” Phil, watching Ivy Chandler, licked his dry lips, a fervent gleam in his eyes. “Beauty, if you surrender voluntarily and come with me to have some fun, I might spare your life.”
“Sorry to inform you, because of your foul mouth, you’ll experience a bit more pain than others before you die.” Ivy Chandler calmly spoke.
“Haha, didn’t expect the beauty to be quite humorous!” Phil chuckled. “Do you think you can defeat the two of us together?”
“What do you think?” Ivy Chandler replied again.
“Feisty, I like you!” Phil said, his tone turning serious. “Since you refuse my offer, I’ll grant your wish!”
After saying that, he looked at the old man with a goat beard. “Lord Yade, make your move, cripple her cultivation first. Don’t kill her; leave her a breath. I’ve never played with such a top-notch beauty in my life!”
“Understood!” Lord Yade nodded and attacked Ivy Chandler. A powerful palm wind swept toward her.
“Beauty, brace yourself!” Phil made a sound at the same time, took a few steps, and pulled out a cold blade in his hand and slashed it down.
Both of them were Tier-one War God-Emperors, and the old man with the goatee was at the late stage. When the two of them attacked with all their strength, the air waves surged and the attack was formidable.
“I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you two. You only have one chance to take action. You should use your cards from the beginning. Otherwise, you will die in a very uncomfortable way.” Ivy Chandler’s beautiful voice reached the eardrums of the two of them. Her voice was sweet and pleasant, but the meaning of her words made the two of them feel a little panicked inexplicably.
Without hesitation, Ivy Chandler poured all her Chi energy into the ancient sword. She activated the Ether Mountain Sword Art with a swift motion of her wrist.
Whoosh!
The despairing aura of death emanated from the sword, causing the temperature in the air to drop. Simultaneously, two sword energies, carrying the force of thunder, shot out, unstoppable and destructive.
“Hmm?” Phil and Lord Yade immediately sensed the thick killing intent enveloping them. Their pupils constricted, and a hint of horror appeared on their faces. From their souls, a profound sense of fear surged up.
Both felt that the power of this attack was more than enough to kill a Tier-two War God-Emperor in one go.
