Rex Greene didn’t have time to think, quickly dodging to the side. He knew very well that Revenge was preparing to self-detonate! However, even though he reacted in the first moment, he was still a beat slow.
Boom!
Just as he ran a distance of less than a few dozen meters, a loud bang echoed through the air, and a violent shockwave sent him flying hundreds of meters away. A waist-thick tree snapped in half and crashed heavily to the ground, blood pouring out of his mouth.
“…” He lay on the ground lifelessly, mouth open but unable to make a sound, his legs twitching with no breath left.
The self-detonation of a late-stage War God-Emperor expert was no less powerful than heavy artillery. Coupled with the close proximity of the two, the power was even more terrifying.
It was only thanks to Rex Greene reinforcing his defensive aura at the last moment that there was still something left of him, otherwise, there would probably be nothing left but ashes.
At the same time, Scarletwind Cohen was also sent flying, but luckily he was a bit further away, so although he was affected, he at least survived.
“Lord Revenge…” Scarletwind Cohen lay on the ground, looking ahead with a face full of grief.
Billy received a call from the SHADOW brothers half an hour later. Upon learning of Revenge’s death, he felt uncomfortable. Although he had only met Revenge once, he had a fairly good impression of him. He didn’t expect Revenge to sacrifice himself like this.
Before hanging up, he instructed the SHADOW brothers to find Revenge’s family and bring them to SHADOW. As long as SHADOW still existed, his family would be safe.
“Boss, how is it going with Ozin?”
After Billy hung up the phone, Judge looked at Billy and asked.
“Revenge is dead!” Billy’s face was not good, his tone heavy. He then briefly explained the situation to everyone.
“I didn’t expect Scarletwind Cohen and Revenge to be such loyal and righteous people!” Azure Dragon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “We’ll settle this account with Saint Sky Sword Pavilion when the national fortune arrives!”
After that, no one said anything else and they continued to climb up the mountain.
Everyone had Emperor-level cultivation, so they climbed quickly and soon reached the halfway point.
“Boss, there’s someone!” When they arrived at a relatively flat open space, Frostblade pointed to a nearby area and spoke.
Billy and the others looked over and saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a large rock, whose actual age was indiscernible. Dressed in a gray robe, ordinary-looking face, and a slender figure, there was no trace of aura fluctuation around him.
“Who’s blocking the way?” Stout stepped forward a few steps and asked.
“Are you Commander Gardner from Glavale?” The old man ignored Stout and looked at Billy, speaking in broken Glavale language.
“Oriana’s people?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man.
“Did you order the execution of Bond Hampton?” The old man continued to ask.
“Bond Hampton?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“Boss, he should be the deputy minister of Oriana’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the one we demanded three trillion in compensation from last time we went to the capital.” Night Orchid reminded from the side.
“It’s him.” Billy smiled faintly and looked at the old man, “Are you here to avenge him?”
“Come with me, and they will live!” The old man pointed at Casey and the others, “Otherwise, you and they will all die!”
“Damn! Are all of Oriana’s people idiots?” Soul Chaser cursed.
Before Soul Chaser finished speaking, a strand of finger wind shot out from the old man’s hand, causing a slight breaking sound.
“Soul Chaser, be careful!” Casey said and took two steps forward to flip his wrist, holding his sword horizontally in front of his chest.
Bang!
A seemingly casual finger wind, like a high-pressure shockwave, collided with Casey’s blade, emitting a crisp sound. Casey immediately retreated more than ten steps, leaving deep footprints on the hard mountain ground, his aura slightly disturbed. Just a casual finger wind was able to push Casey back so far, indicating the skill of the attacker.
“This is just a warning. If you can’t control your mouth, you’re dead!” The old man continued to speak coldly, looking at Soul Chaser.
“Damn, who the hell…” Soul Chaser wasn’t intimidated by him and continued speaking.
“Soul Chaser!” Billy stopped him, his face slightly serious. He could sense the opponent’s cultivation, a strength that was halfway into the Fourth-rank Sovereign Realm. He didn’t expect Oriana to send such a high-level old monster to the Kun Lun Mountains.
“So, Commander Gardner, will you come with me or die here with them?” The old man’s sharp gaze continued to look at Billy as he spoke.
“I advise you not to hold any illusions and hope that someone will come to save you! Today, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful experts lurking in the Kun Lun Mountains. Your city’s old folks are busy dealing with others and have no time to care about your life and death!”
“Oh, really?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, “You seem quite confident in yourself?”
“Killing you is enough!” The old man replied with four words.
“Forget about whether you can kill me or not!” Billy calmly spoke, “Aren’t you worried that your country will pay a heavy price for your actions today?”
“That’s none of your concern.” The old man stood up from the rock as he spoke, glancing at Casey and the others, “And what you should worry about is not Oriana, but your own Glavale.”
Sweeping a glance at Casey and the others, he continued, “I guess, other than the Northern Territory, all the commanders of the other three territories of Glavale are here?”
From his words, it was clear that he was still unaware that White Tiger had already been promoted to the position of Northern Territory Commander.
“You guessed wrong!” Billy smiled and said, “Not three territories, but all four territory commanders are here!”
“Oh?” The old man paused for a moment and continued, “You seem quite confident in your border army. I have to admire your boldness!”
“The one you should be admiring is yet to come!” Billy smiled again and said, “With your skills, you must have some status in Oriana. How about revealing your identity?”
“It won’t hurt to tell you!” The old man responded in a deep voice, “I am Hisham Hampton from Oriana!”
“Hmm?” Before Billy could react, Casey frowned slightly and said, “Oriana is really something, sending an old guy like you!”
“Have you heard of him?” Billy looked at Casey and asked, “Who is he?”
“He’s the elder brother of Oriana’s ruler!” Casey nodded and replied, “They say he’s also the strongest martial artist in Oriana!”
“Oh?” Billy raised an eyebrow.
“Boss, are you confident?” Azure Dragon hesitated for a moment before asking.
The faces of Casey and the others also showed a hint of seriousness at the same time. Although they couldn’t sense the opponent’s cultivation, if he was truly Oriana’s strongest fighter, he wouldn’t be weak. And from the way the opponent easily repelled Casey’s attack with just a casual finger wind, it was clear that he was formidable.
