The aura of everyone exploded, creating a vacuum within a radius of a thousand meters, making it suffocating. Following that, seventeen or eighteen individuals simultaneously unleashed their most potent moves, each activating their trump cards.
In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, waves of Chi surged, and howling winds created the ominous feeling of an impending storm. The next moment, eighteen phantom images appeared in the void, bearing weapons, fierce beasts, and thunder and lightning, creating a formidable momentum.
“Kill!”
Immediately after, Theobold’s group shouted loudly, both hands simultaneously smashing towards Billy. Eighteen phantom God-Emperor auras, accompanied by a world-shattering momentum, attacked Billy. The sky trembled.
“Five Elements Secret Art, Wood Technique!”
Simultaneously, Billy’s eyes narrowed, taking two steps forward. His hands drew a mysterious pattern as he shouted. Soon, powerful gusts of Chi swept within a two-kilometer radius, and a pervasive killing intent filled the air. What shocked Theobold and others even more was that shortly after Billy’s words, all the trees within a two-thousand-meter radius were uprooted.
This scene, with the earth shaking and mountains swaying, was truly breathtaking. Compared to the ‘Five Elements Secret Art, Mwtal Mastery’ Billy displayed a few days ago at the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking Competition, it surpassed it. This was undoubtedly related to Billy’s cultivation of Heart Sutra of the Azure Void. The power of the Five Elements Secret Art depended not only on the cultivator’s martial arts level but also on the strength of their spiritual power. Billy had been tirelessly cultivating Heart Sutra of the Azure Void for days, significantly enhancing his spiritual power. Therefore, when using the Five Elements Secret Technique, he found it more effortless.
“Break!”
Billy spoke again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Following his words, the floating trees quickly shot towards Theobold and others. Midway, most of the branches were cut off by the strong Chi winds, leaving only bare trunks resembling giant arrows, rampant and blotting out the sky. Witnessing this spectacle, everyone engaged in peripheral battles stopped, their faces filled with astonishment as they watched.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless tree trunks collided with Theobold and others’ phantom God-Emperor auras, producing intense explosions that echoed through the sky. Halfway through their charge, the eighteen phantom auras were quickly crushed into nothingness, leaving only the sight of tree trunks rampaging through the sky. With their emperor auras destroyed, Theobold and others simultaneously spat out a large mouthful of blood, sliding several hundred meters backward. Each person’s aura was in disarray.
“Run!” After a brief pause, Theobold shouted loudly, swiftly moving to the side.
Once the others reacted, they desperately fled in all directions. However, what left them in despair was that the two-kilometer radius was already filled with Chi winds and tree trunks. With injuries and nowhere to escape, their situation was bleak. The elderly woman who had just run less than two hundred meters had a tree trunk, as thick as an arm, thrust through her back and pierced through her. With unrelenting force, the trunk impaled her into a pile of yellow soil not far away.
The old woman opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word. A large amount of blood gushed out, and after a few convulsions, she fell silent. In her dying moments, she finally realized who had been so arrogant before. She had initially thought the opponent was a clown, only now realizing that she was the biggest fool.
Commander Gardner, despite only having the perfection cultivation of a War God-Emperor, indeed possessed overwhelming strength against them, easily resolving the battle within a single round.
Among the other dozen people, except for Theobold and the Grand Elder, everyone’s fate was similar. Either they died with tree trunks piercing through their bodies or had their chest bones or hearts shattered by large tree trunks. Two people even had their heads turned into a mist of blood by a waist-thick tree trunk.
Theobold and the grand elder were both at the Sovereign realm, so although their meridians were damaged earlier, they could still activate the War God-Emperor’s defensive Chi, barely preserving their lives. However, judging from their current states, although they survived, the situation was not optimistic, and their auras were extremely chaotic.
“Impossible. You can’t be this strong…” Theobold struggled to open his mouth.
Until this moment, he found it challenging to accept this reality.
“There’s something I forgot to tell you.” Billy strolled towards them.
“A few days ago in the Ancient City, not only did I defeat a Second-rank Martial Lord, but I also killed five First-rank Sovereigns within a single round. Their strength is not much weaker than yours!”
Theobold spewed out blood. He had the urge to curse. Why didn’t Billy say these words earlier?! He felt regretful. Three days ago, when the subordinates reported the situation of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking Competition, he was in a furious state due to his children’s affairs and had no interest in knowing too much. He only casually asked about the final results of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking but did not inquire about the specific details. Therefore, he did not know the details of Billy’s battles with those Martial Lords. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so arrogant earlier.
“Damn, you really deserve to die! You killed so many elders from my sect; I’ll take your life!”
Just then, an extremely angry voice echoed in the valley. At the same time, a majestic and majestic aura rose to the sky, once again shrouding this part of the void. It was several times stronger than the aura of Theobold and others just now.
As the words were completed, a palm force containing a surging and overwhelming energy attacked Billy. Sensing the opponent’s momentum, Billy’s pupils slightly contracted. The opponent’s cultivation was at least third-rank Sovereign or above.
With the intention of avoiding this blow, Billy realized that the opponent’s strength was far beyond his. The attack was launched without giving him time to react, leaving him with the only option of activating his defensive Chi with all his might.
Bang!
The wildly powerful palm force struck Billy’s defensive Chi like a moving mountain, instantly shattering the Chi shield. At the same time, Billy was ejected like a cannonball, spraying a large mouthful of blood in mid-air. After flying for three to four hundred meters, he heavily fell to the ground, spewing out copious amounts of blood. His aura was extremely chaotic.
“Boss!” Casey and the others exclaimed, rushing towards Billy.
Their opponents had all fallen within two minutes. The dozen or so elders from Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, who were initially evenly matched with Azure Dragon and the others, found themselves at a disadvantage shortly after Casey joined. The battle quickly turned one-sided.
In less than three to five minutes, they were all cut down, with not a single one spared.
