“From Wind & Cloud Holy Sect?” Billy asked. “Your surname is also Strickland? Who is Wesley Strickland to you, ten days ago?” he continued.
“Although my boss was killed by Emperor Greenleaf, I’m holding you responsible for it!” Phil Strickland replied coldly.
“So, he was your boss?” Billy smirked. “Perfect, today I’ll send you to join him!”
“Commander Gardner, you have a sense of humor!” Phil Strickland responded nonchalantly.
“Don’t believe me? You’ll believe it soon enough!” Billy laughed again and turned his gaze to the gray-robed elder on Leroy Hayes’s right.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be from Yin Yang Shrine Sect. What’s your name?”
“I am the Outer Hall Master of Yin Yang Shrine Sect, Errol Valdez!” the elder replied coldly.
“You have quite the background!” Billy squinted his eyes slightly. “Ten days ago, your Yin Yang Shrine Sect must have sent many people to Kun Lun Mountains, right?”
Errol Valdez snorted. “Commander Gardner, you killed so many people from my Yin Yang Shrine Sect in the Ancient City. Today, it’s time to settle the score with you!”
“Haha, don’t worry, I’ll give you a chance!” Billy said coldly. Then, he turned to Leroy Hayes and said, “I once said that when the national fortune arrives, it will be the time for Saint Sky Sword Pavilion to be exterminated!”
“But now, I’ve changed my mind. I want to give you a chance. Do you want it?”
Leroy Hayes sneered. “You’re shameless! Today, no matter why you’re here, no matter how many people you’ve brought with you, none of you will leave this place!”
“Don’t want the chance I’m giving you?” Billy said calmly. “Well then, as you wish!”
“Sect Master Hayes, stop wasting time with him. Let’s fight together against this so-called Lord Dragon!” Phil Strickland said in a deep voice.
“Alright!” Leroy Hayes nodded and looked at Billy. “Don’t blame us for outnumbering you, this is all your doing…”
“Enough talking. Let’s get started!” Billy interrupted him. “If the three of you can survive against me, I’ll let the rest of your sect go!”
“You’re extremely arrogant!” Leroy Hayes responded coldly. “You’re the most conceited person I’ve ever met!”
“We’ll fight with you!” At this moment, an inner sect elder of Saint Sky Sword Pavilion spoke up.
“No need!” Leroy Hayes waved his hand. “Everyone, step back!”
He knew very well that if they couldn’t defeat Billy with the three of them, then having more people would be useless. This level of battle was not won by numbers.
The inner and outer sect elders of Saint Sky Sword Pavilion stepped back.
“Casey, you guys step back too!” Billy turned to Casey and gave the order.
“Boss, be careful!” Night Orchid, Frostblade, and Rakshasa all spoke at the same time, their faces filled with worry. While they knew that their boss could challenge opponents of higher levels, two of the three enemies were Fifth-Rank Sovereign powerhouses. It was no joke.
“It’s fine!” Billy smiled faintly and waved his hand. “Go!”
“Okay!” Casey and the others nodded and stepped back.
Two minutes later, only Billy and the three of them, Leroy Hayes, Phil Strickland, and Errol Valdez, remained within a kilometer radius.
Boom!
In the next second, three terrifying auras surged from the bodies of Leroy Hayes and the others, instantly enveloping the entire space. The disciples of Saint Sky Sword Pavilion and the onlookers who were standing a kilometer away couldn’t help but shudder and quickly retreated another two to three hundred meters.
“Don’t hold back, both of you. Let’s finish this quickly, so we don’t create unnecessary trouble!” Leroy Hayes said to Phil Strickland and Errol Valdez in a solemn tone. As he spoke, their auras reached their peak, and their swords were unsheathed.
In the next moment, fifty sword shadows flew in the air, each emitting a chilling aura. At the same time, Errol Valdez’s eyes narrowed, and he exerted ten percent of his power to create dozens of afterimages in the void. Soon, a swirling mist appeared above his head, exuding a deadly aura. In no time, a doorway emitting a deathly aura emerged from the mist, revealing the Yin Yang Door, one of the Sovereign arts of Yin Yang Shrine Sect. As the Yin Yang Door appeared, everything within a kilometer radius, including rocks and trees, flew towards the sky.
On the other side, Phil Strickland also unleashed his attack. He displayed one of Wind & Cloud Holy Sect’s Sovereign techniques, the Wind and Cloud Blaze Palm. As his hands continuously moved in the air, the surrounding wind and clouds churned, creating a tumultuous sea in the void. Soon, his palms were enveloped in a fiery mist, occasionally bursting with detonations, causing the temperature to rise several degrees.
The three of them unleashed their most powerful moves as soon as they made their move, clearly intending to kill Billy.
“Die!” they shouted in unison, launching an earth-shattering attack that seemed capable of tearing Billy to pieces.
“Is this all the power you have? It’s disappointing!” Billy calmly responded to their full-force attack. With a twist of his eyes, his aura instantly skyrocketed. Then, within a two-kilometer radius, every weapon in the hands of those below the Sovereign Realm was forcefully disarmed. Thousands of swords floated in the air, densely packed and obscuring the sky.
It was evident that Billy had directly activated the Metal Technique of the Five Elements Secret Art. With his current level of cultivation and mental strength, using this technique was a breeze. Moreover, his mental strength had increased several times, making the technique even more powerful than before.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, were filled with endless astonishment. Leaving aside the power of this move, the overwhelming aura alone was enough to fill them with despair.
“Kill!” Billy growled lowly. Thousands of swords, seemingly imbued with intelligence, attacked according to their own trajectories. The sky was filled with countless sharp sword auras, creating explosive sounds.
In the next second, the two forces collided, resulting in a series of muffled explosions. Many of the swords in the void were shattered into fragments, while others fell to the ground.
However, to the despair of Leroy Hayes and the others, there were still too many swords, and their attacks were weakened by more than half within a short period. After a few minutes, blood streaks appeared at the corners of their mouths, and their auras became extremely chaotic, indicating that they had suffered heavy injuries. The onslaught of thousands of swords had depleted their attacks, but there were still two to three hundred swords wreaking havoc in the void. Without thinking, the three of them swiftly moved aside, but within the two-kilometer radius, Billy had complete control. Their teleportation speed, no matter how fast, was unlikely to escape.
