“One-eyed!” Revenge furrowed his brows slightly and then continued to look at Billy. “Commander Gardner, I know you have strong skills and can kill opponents at the peak level. I have self-awareness and might not be your match. However, if you insist on acting alone, it may be difficult for all of you to leave here today unscathed!”
“Are you sure?” Billy squinted, “You seem quite confident.”
“Heartbreak Valley has no intention of being enemies with Commander Gardner. I hope Commander Gardner won’t force us into a difficult position!” Revenge continued.
“Commander Gardner should be very clear that Heartbreak Valley has a heritage of a thousand years, and its strength is far beyond what you see here.”
“If a conflict were to erupt, Commander Gardner, you wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning!”
“Today, I really want to see what kind of heritage Heartbreak Valley really has!” Billy smiled faintly again.
“Commander Gardner, I advise you not to go too far!” The one-eyed man pointed at Billy.
“We have nothing to do with each other. Don’t go too far. This is Heartbreak Valley, not your…”
Before the man could finish his words, Ian raised his hand and slashed out with his knife.
“One-eyed, careful!” Revenge furrowed his brows, raising his hand to sweep out a powerful wind to block Ian’s blade aura.
As a cultivator at the peak of the War God-Emperor realm, three levels higher than Ian Blade, Revenge could naturally block Ian’s attack.
“You…” The one-eyed man’s face changed, angrily shouting, “Everyone, if they dare to attack again, kill them all!”
“Understood!” Four to five hundred men and women responded loudly and walked a few steps closer to Billy and the others.
“Back off!” Revenge furrowed his brows again.
“Guild Master, they…” The one-eyed man continued.
“Didn’t you hear me? Back off, all of you!” Revenge interrupted him loudly.
“Yes!” The hundreds of men and women responded again and backed off twenty meters.
“Guild Master, do you still recognize me?” At this moment, Rowan Wheatly walked over.
“You dare to return to Heartbreak Valley? You really have the guts!” The one-eyed man frowned, looking at Rowan with a cold voice.
“Rowan Wheatly?” Revenge was slightly stunned. “Did you bring them in?”
“You overestimate me, Guild Master.” Rowan Wheatly took a deep breath and continued, “Under the sky, there’s no land not ruled by a king. There’s no need for someone like me, a small character, to lead the way for Commander Gardner.”
“A few years have passed, and you’ve really grown bolder!” Revenge squinted slightly.
“I’ve heard about your sister and Uncle Buck, but you also burned the mansion of the Silent Annihilation Sect’s master. That matter has been settled. What do you want to do by coming back this time?”
“Guild Master, don’t blame me for not reminding you!” Rowan Wheatly unconsciously glanced at Billy before continuing, “Commander Gardner’s visit to Heartbreak Valley this time is a good opportunity for you, Guild Master. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your own choice!”
“Rowan Wheatly, it seems like you’re itching for trouble, daring to talk to Guild Master with that tone. You…” The one-eyed man roared again.
“Quiet, One-Eye!” Revenge stopped him again and looked at Rowan. “What do you mean?”
“Heartbreak Valley has developed into this situation today. I believe Guild Master wouldn’t want to see this, right?” Rowan responded.
“However, Guild Master is willing but powerless, as there are many things you can’t control. It’s not just a scare, if things continue like this, I’m afraid it’s unknown whether Guild Master can continue staying in Heartbreak Valley!” Rowan continued.
“Rowan, what are you trying to say?” Another bald man shouted loudly.
“Guild Master, considering that you are one of the few people in Heartbreak Valley that I somewhat approve of, I’ll give you some advice.” Rowan ignored the bald man and continued to address Revenge.
“Surrender to Commander Gardner might be your only and best chance!”
“You scoundrel! You’re getting tired of living, actually saying such rebellious…” The one-eyed man shouted again.
“You talk too much!” Billy interrupted him sharply. “Be a quiet person in your next life!”
As he spoke, a strong wave of energy whistled out from his hand, causing a sharp howling sound.
“One-Eye, step back!” Revenge’s pupils shrank, and at the same time, he raised his hand, sending out a powerful gust of wind to counter Billy’s force.
The two waves collided, producing a loud roar, and both of them took two or three steps back again. Almost at the same time Revenge raised his hand to block, Ian had already moved. The war knife drew a cold light, slashing towards the one-eyed man.
Ian had understood Billy’s intention earlier when he heard his words. This was tacit understanding; there was no need for words.
“Don’t…” The one-eyed man, sensing an endless killing intent, shouted through his spirit.
At the same time, he subconsciously mobilized all his true energy to form a defensive barrier, attempting to withstand this strike. However, he obviously overestimated himself. As a warrior who hadn’t yet broken through to the War God-Emperor realm, how could he block Ian’s blade?
Before his words could finish, the blade flashed past his throat, and immediately after, his head flew up into the air. He watched his headless body fall to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the several hundred men from the opposite side couldn’t help but inhale sharply, each of their faces showing a trace of fear.
Really, if they had taken the lead, it would have been a disaster.
“One-Eye!” Revenge exclaimed in pain, then glared angrily at Ian. “You killed him! You are truly damned…”
As he spoke, a cold killing intent emanated from him, making everyone behind him shiver involuntarily.
“Do you want to avenge him?” Billy’s deep voice interrupted his words.
“I’ve been lenient many times, but you, Commander Gardner, are taking advantage!” Revenge coldly responded. “Since that’s the case, let me experience your tricks!”
“You’re just an idiot!” Iansaid with a speechless expression. “You, the Guild Master of Heartbreak Valley, ended up in this situation today; it’s quite reasonable!”
“What do you want to say?” Revenge glared at him.
“Barking up the wrong tree. My boss was helping you clear out the traitor!” Ian had a contemptuous expression.
“He was trying to provoke you to fight us just now. Can’t you even see that?”
This statement was half true and half false!
Billy had long seen that One-Eye was deliberately sowing discord; that was true. However, killing One-Eye was not to help Revenge eliminate a traitor; he didn’t have that leisurely intention.
“Hmm?” Revenge was slightly stunned.
“Not only him, but there are probably several others among your men who are Silent Annihilation Monk’s people. Go back and find out for yourself!” Ian spoke again.
Upon hearing this, among the people following Revenge, two or three individuals had a fleeting and imperceptible change in their eyes, but quickly concealed it.
