“Received!” Stout and the others didn’t insist on staying.
With their understanding of Billy, the small fries in front of them were not even worth mentioning to their big brother.
“Commander Gardner, I’ll stay and help you!” Rowan Wheatly shouted loudly.
“Alright, don’t cause trouble here!” Soul Chaser grabbed his collar and stepped back, with the others following suit.
“Go ahead!” Billy looked at the opposing group and calmly said, “I’ll give you a chance to go all out!”
“Then let us experience the skills of King of the West!” Harold Flower shouted, the imposing aura of a War God-Emperor in the early stage evident.
Without further words, all of them released their full power.
There were a total of eight people on the other side. Erasmus Douglas led three elders from the Douglas family, and Brooke Nunez and Harold Flower each led their own elders.
All eight of them had broken through to the War God-Emperor realm. Erasmus Douglas was even a War God-Emperor in the advanced stage, while the other seven were War God-Emperor in the early stage. The two Douglas family elders were at the War God-Emperor realm in the initial stage.
As their auras swept through the area, the entire courtyard was shrouded in a suffocating pressure, and a fierce killing intent filled the air.
“Attack!” Harold Flower shouted again, and the others unleashed their full power, launching formidable attacks from eight different directions towards Billy. The attacks were overwhelming, and the air was filled with waves of energy.
“A bunch of parasites of the nation, seeking death like this. I’ll grant your wish!” Billy’s eyes narrowed, and he activated the Bloodshadow Blade Technique, slashing with the Bloodshadow Fury Blade.
A blood-red blade aura, carrying a shocking amount of energy, descended from the sky. Half of the void turned red, and thunderous sounds echoed as the blade aura passed through, leaving a trail of destruction. With the explosion of energy from Billy, the two Douglas family elders at the War God-Emperor realm in the initial stage were directly sent flying, creating two arcs of blood in the air.
The attacks from Harold Flower and the others at the War God-Emperor in the early stage also stagnated. Shock and horror appeared on their faces simultaneously. Until this moment, they finally understood how naive they were. Just the aura alone was enough to make them despair.
In the next moment, the blood-red blade aura descended towards Harold Flower. A horrifying gash appeared, extending all the way to the depths of the courtyard. The steel-framed structure of the platform in the distance was split in half. Several wooden buildings not far away were shattered, and wood splinters filled the air. Simultaneously, apart from Harold Flower, the other five were sent flying like leaves in the autumn wind. They crashed to the ground, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. Besides Erasmus Douglas, who quickly got up, the others lay on the ground without any movement.
Harold Flower, kneeling on one knee, uttered a word. A bloodline extended from his forehead to his waist, blood spurting out uncontrollably. Then, his body split into two, collapsing to the ground, flesh and blood blurred.
At his very last moment, he truly regretted it. If he had known how strong King of the West was, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to provoke him. He was the Young Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and his beautiful life had just begun. There were countless beautiful women waiting for him! But unexpectedly, he was cut down by a single attack.
If he had known, why bother in the first place?
Seeing this, there was a series of dropped jaws around. Except for Stout and Soul Chaser, everyone was petrified.
The thunderous onslaught of eight War God-Emperor powerhouses was shattered by a single slash from Commander Gardner. Was he really so powerful?
“Young Master…” The black-robed old woman from the Hundred Flowers Sect looked up at the direction of Harold Flower. After saying a few words, she kicked her legs, and her head dropped, lifeless.
In that moment just now, although the slash directly struck Harold Flower, she, being closest to him, received the strongest shockwave. With her cultivation level, surviving was naturally difficult.
“Young Master!”
Four female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect shouted in pain simultaneously. Their faces lost color, and their delicate bodies trembled uncontrollably.
“Brooke, Second Elder!” At this moment, Salena shouted, quickly running towards her brother and the white-haired old man.
Brooke Nunez and the two Douglas family elders, though not in mortal danger, were seriously injured, with less than thirty percent of their combat power remaining.
Vivian Douglas also ran towards the two Douglas family elders.
“You got skills like that, single-handedly holding off all eight of us…” At this moment, Erasmus Douglas took a slight breather and looked towards Billy, his eyes flashing with a hint of fear. He was well aware that if Billy’s recent strike had been aimed at him directly, his fate would be no different from Harold Flower’s.
“Surprising?” Billy spoke casually. “Two months ago, in Aquilandia, I took down twenty War God-Emperors on my own, including two Tier-two War God-Emperor! And, half a month ago, in Place of Darkness, I cut down two War God-Emperors in the pinnacle realm.”
Erasmus Douglas deeply gasped, his face showing endless horror. He didn’t think Billy was just boasting.
“Flowers Prince is the junior master of the Hundred Flowers Sect. If you killed him, the Hundred Flowers Sect won’t let it go…” After exhaling heavily, Erasmus Douglas spoke.
“Old man, maybe you should think about your Douglas family first!” Stout and Soul Chaser approached.
“Plotting to murder a high-ranking minister of the country, your Douglas family is in for a rough time!” Soul Chaser said with a deep voice.
“Big words!” Just at that moment, an angry voice rang out.
Then, Magnus Douglas, the head of the Douglas family, with an unpleasant expression, led a group of people and walked quickly towards the square. He was well aware of what had happened there, including Erasmus Douglas leading the attack on Billy, and he had already received the news. The reason he didn’t step in earlier was that he tacitly approved of Erasmus Douglas’s actions.
Billy killed Ruthless Lordling, so Magnus Douglas would be pleased to see Billy’s death here. However, he never expected it to end up like this! So many people crippled by a single slash from Billy, and as the head of the Douglas family, he couldn’t stay hidden any longer.
“Father!” Vivian Douglas greeted him, “Father, Silent Mirage Duke and the Second Elder are severely injured. Please check on them quickly!”
“Uncle, please.” Magnus Douglas turned his head and spoke to the old man behind him, whose actual age was hard to discern.
The old man was none other than the Second Uncle of Magnus Douglas, also the top powerhouse of this family. He had officially broken through to War God-Emperor pinnacle realm a year ago.
“Sure thing!” Tristan Douglas nodded and walked towards Silent Mirage Duke and the others.
“You finally show your face?” Billy looked at Tristan Douglas, smiling faintly.
Billy knew why Tristan Douglas had only appeared now. It was to let others take revenge for his son!
