“Hmm?!”
The two elderly men’s faces turned even more horrified at the sight of their two companions’ fate.
“Come on then!” Billy said, looking at the two men.
“If you can survive under my hand, I promise you that the Prime Minister won’t touch you!”
Phew!
The two elderly men breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
“Well, if Commander Gardner is in such good spirits, we’ll accompany him for a few moves,” said the first old man in a deep voice.
He had thought he was on a dead end path but after hearing Billy’s words, he had an extra glimmer of hope in his heart. He didn’t really believe that Commander Gardner could beat them with only half-step Sovereign cultivation. After all, he himself was an authentic third-grade Sovereign powerhouse and although he had just broken through last month, it was definitely not something that second-rank Sovereigns could compare to.
As soon as his words fell, both attacked simultaneously. Each raised their hands and sent out more than ten palm strikes containing majestic momentum towards Billy. The scene was filled with howling winds and imposing momentum.
Billy didn’t hesitate either; holding onto his mad knife and pulling out several blood-red blade rays to meet them head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were bursts of muffled sounds followed by strong airwaves shaking open one after another causing nearby pavilions and trees to collapse loudly.
Obviously, both wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible so they did not hold back any punches; every move they made aimed for death. However, what frustrated them most was that Billy did not intend to fight head-on with them despite pulling out his mad knife; instead constantly dodging their attacks while flashing around like lightning.
After more than ten rounds of fighting passed by without affecting Billy’s combat power despite sustaining some injuries on his body from time-to-time, both elderly men felt like they were running out of options.
“Damn it!” The western-looking man shouted angrily, “The famous Commander Gardner only knows how to hide?”
“If you have what it takes then face me head-on,” continued the western-looking man, “If you can take my attack then I will commit suicide in front of you.”
“You don’t need to commit suicide because… you won’t have the chance.” Replied Billy coldly.
After speaking these words aloud, Billy’s aura continued climbing up while turning his mad knife into blood-red color again. He looked at the two opponents and said, “Come on, you want to attack head-on! As you wish!”
“Alright!” The two responded loudly with a renewed look in their eyes.
“Domineering Blade Art!” Billy spoke deeply and immediately activated his trump card.
A bloody blade curtain fell from the sky, carrying an earth-shattering aura as it slashed towards the two opponents. The momentum was overwhelming and the attack was fierce. With his current level of spiritual power, controlling Domineering Blade Art was not too difficult for Billy anymore. He could already unleash about eighty percent of its power while ensuring that he would not be backlashed.
“Hmm?” The two opponents clearly did not expect Billy to be able to activate such a powerful move and were startled.
Without much thought, they took deep breaths before unleashing their own trump card attacks with twelve points of force.
Boom!
A deafening sound echoed through the air as shockwaves flattened everything within kilometers in an instant. A section of courtyard wall nearby along with two buildings were directly shattered into dust clouds. After the loud noise subsided, the western-faced old man sprayed out a mouthful of blood before flying outwards; his body split in half mid-air into flesh and blood messes.
Meanwhile, both Billy and another old man opponent retreated backwards by twenty or thirty steps respectively; cracks appeared on the cement ground beneath their feet. Both sides’ breathing became extremely chaotic while traces of blood oozed from their mouths.
“How is this possible?!” After stabilizing himself mid-air, the old man looked at his companion’s severed body parts with horror written all over his face.
He never expected that under both him and his companion’s full strength attacks that Billy would not only kill one but also injure him severely as well. It should be noted that Billy was only a half-step Sovereign. If Billy had already reached the real Sovereign realm cultivation level, they would have been killed long ago.
“Not badm you can still take my hit.” After taking a deep breath to suppress surging Chi within himself, Billy continued speaking, “Come again!”
“Alright!” The old man narrowed his eyes then spoke deeply. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed like a ghostly shadow moving extremely fast. However, his direction wasn’t aimed towards where Billy stood but instead moved away from him. He no longer had any intention to fight anymore.
Billy could take on two opponents at once, but now he was the only one left. If they continued to fight, he would be the one to fall in the end.
“Did I let you go?” Billy narrowed his eyes and chased after him.
There was no way Billy would let those foreign martial artists dared to come into the capital of Glavale and act recklessly leave alive.
As his figure flashed out, Billy’s wrist flipped over and a blood-red blade shot out like lightning. The old man felt a crisis behind him and immediately dodged aside. The blade left a deep trench in the ground just before him. Just as he was about to continue fleeing, a wave of air with an astonishing momentum swept towards him. It was too fast for him to react; within a breath’s time it had already attacked him from behind.
“…”
He opened his mouth but didn’t have time to say anything before being lifted into mid-air. A large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth as all of his bones broke instantly. After crashing heavily several hundred meters away, there were no more movements from him.
“A third-rank Sovereign being who doesn’t even have the courage for one battle against someone half-step Sovereign being is just wasting food!” Urban Woolery said indifferently after stopping himself from attacking further.
After killing Casey’s two opponents with just one move earlier, Urban Woolery saw Billy’s opponent run away without fighting back so he casually swept out another gust of wind.
“Thank you, Minister Woolery!” Billy gave a subtle smile.
“Too heavy-handed, I forgot to leave anyone alive.” Urban Woolery shrugged his shoulders. “These Eastern faces must be from one of the surrounding countries.”
“More than likely!” Billy smiled.
“From their appearance and accent, they’re either from Oriana or Veridiania.”
“And if I’m right, there will be more from these two countries coming tomorrow.”
“Agreed!” Urban Woolery nodded. His tone became solemn. “These two small countries need to be taught a lesson. They won’t learn unless we hit them hard.”
“After the national celebration, Commander Gardner, you should pay them a visit to their capitals.”
“Alright.” Billy nodded in response.
This was already in his plans. Any country that sent people to interfere with the arrival of the national celebration in Glavale would not be spared. As for the Western countries, Glavale would settle the score with them one day.
That night, apart from the six old men who appeared at the SHADOW base, another thirty-odd foreign martial artists were caught by Otis Hum and Milo Guzman, including over half of them being Sovereign realm experts and the rest all God-Emperor experts.
The outcome was inevitable, all of them were executed on the spot, no survivors!
The first wave of attacks had come to an end.
The next morning, at six o’clock.
Two helicopters took off from the SHADOW base, heading towards the Kun Lun Mountains.
