Just as Leroy Hayes and his companions had yet to run a kilometer away, two to three hundred sharp swords had already attacked. In the blink of an eye, their bodies were covered in densely packed bloody wounds.
After running several dozen meters, Errol Valdez was directly stabbed through the heart by a sword, piercing through his body, and fell to the ground twitching before becoming still.
Leroy Hayes’s situation wasn’t any better; he had more than a dozen deep wounds all over his body, and blood was gushing out. As he was about to reach the entrance of a building, he sensed a strong aura of death coming from behind. With a shiver, he quickly dodged to the side. However, to his horror, just as his body was about to land, he saw a sword swiftly shooting towards him. He wanted to dodge, but in mid-air, he had no way to do so and could only watch as the sword passed through his throat. After crashing heavily onto the ground, he opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word. A large amount of blood gushed out from his throat, and then his legs kicked a few times before he lost his breath. His eyes wide open, he died without closing them. Leroy never imagined that he, the esteemed leader of Saint Sky Sword Pavilion, a Sovereign realm expert at the fifth rank, would die like this. And, he died in the courtyard of his own sect.
Cause and effect, everything was predetermined. Since the moment he sent someone to Ozin ten days ago, his fate had already been sealed. Billy specially came to Saint Sky Sword Pavilion today; even if he didn’t kill the others, Leroy Hayes, as the sect leader, had to die. Revenge’s debt must be repaid.
At the same time, Phil Strickland was pierced through his right scapula by a sword, directly impaled on a large tree a kilometer away.
“How is this possible? How can you be so strong?” He struggled to say a word before his entire body slumped down like a deflated balloon. On his face was an expression of disbelief. Obviously, he never expected that Billy could unleash such a terrifying martial technique. He knew his own limitations; even if he were at the fifth realm, whether he could withstand Billy’s attacks was still unknown.
Seeing this, a chorus of amazed gasps echoed around. Everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
“My Lord!” Thousands of people from Saint Sky Sword Pavilion mourned in unison, and the elders hurriedly ran towards Leroy Hayes.
“My Lord!”
“Elder Valdez!”
The people from Yin Yang Shrine Sect and Wind & Cloud Holy Sect shouted in grief as well, then they headed towards Phil Strickland and Errol Valdez.
“Boss, are you alright?” At this moment, Casey and Azure Dragon had already arrived by Billy’s side.
“I’m fine!” Billy smiled faintly.
Now that he had unleashed the Five Elements Secret Art, he wouldn’t suffer any backlash. Of course, he only used about seventy to eighty percent of the power of the Five Elements Secret Art. If he were to fully unleash its power, there might still be some risk involved.
“My Lord” Soon, after confirming that Leroy Hayes had died, the elders of Saint Sky Sword Pavilion shouted in agony once again.
“All of you, attack together, fight them!” One of the elders in a white robe shouted angrily.
Before, Billy’s Five Elements Secret Art didn’t work on the sword in his hand, indicating that he had cultivation at the Sovereign realm.
“Let’s fight!” Immediately after, three to four thousand people rushed towards Billy and his group behind the elder in the white robe.
“Are we going to kill them, boss?” Azure Dragon turned to Billy and asked.
“I’ll handle it!” Billy responded, then looked at the approaching crowd and spoke loudly, “If you all really want to die, then I’ll grant your wish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist and unleashed the Bloodshadow Blade Technique. In the next moment, a blood-red blade light, accompanied by a terrifying aura, descended like lightning from the sky. A loud crash echoed through the sky above the courtyard as a massive trench, stretching for a kilometer, extended deep into the compound. Simultaneously, buildings and trees on either side of the trench collapsed, filling the air with dust and leaves. The hundreds of disciples from Saint Sky Sword Pavilion who were running in front were all turned into a mist of blood by the shockwave. Among them were several elders from the inner sect, with their cultivation at the first realm, also sliced into nothingness by a single slash. Witnessing this scene, the remaining people couldn’t help but halt their footsteps, fear evident on their faces. With Billy’s displayed skills, it would probably take less than five minutes to slay them all.
“You wanna revenge on me for your sect master, don’t you? Why aren’t you moving?” Billy asked calmly.
One of the elders from Saint Sky Sword Pavilion finally spoke, exhaling heavily. “You came here with the intention to kill, Commander Gardner. But you have already killed our sect leader and four to five hundred disciples. Shouldn’t the grudge between you and our Saint Sky Sword Pavilion end now?”
“Are you really going to kill us all before you stop?” he continued.
“Now you’re afraid?” Casey responded in a low voice. “When you were trying everything to deal with my boss, did you ever think it would come to this?”
“My boss had long predicted that once the national fortune arrived, it would be the time for your Saint Sky Sword Pavilion to be destroyed. Did you think he was just joking?”
The elder snorted coldly. “I still don’t believe that you dare to kill every last one of us!”
“Casey, slay him!” Billy said in a deep voice.
“Alright!” Casey nodded forcefully, then with a flip of his wrist, he unleashed an extremely sharp blade light that slashed out like lightning.
“Huh?!” The elder clearly didn’t expect Casey to really make a move. His pupils constricted, and he quickly lifted his sword to block the attack. However, his cultivation was one level lower than Casey’s, so there was no way he could withstand it. The next moment, the blade light tore through his sword’s momentum, and the force went straight into his chest. A bloodline extended from his shoulder to his waist as blood gushed out.
The elder opened his mouth, but not a word came out. His body split in two and collapsed, flesh and blood mingling together.
“Run!”
Upon witnessing this, most of the disciples from Saint Sky Sword Pavilion no longer harbored any thoughts of escape. Many of them began to flee in all directions. As for those who had come to attend the banquet, they all huddled together on an empty space to the west of the courtyard, trembling and pale-faced. They wanted to leave, but without Billy giving the order, they dared not go anywhere.
“All those who try to run, slay them!” Billy coldly commanded.
Casey and the others responded loudly before swiftly chasing after the fleeing disciples.
