“Old… old man… I might have to leave first…” The grey-robed old woman opened her mouth, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.
“Don’t speak!” The black-robed old man shouted loudly. Then, he rushed behind the old woman and sat cross-legged, raising his hand and pressing it on her back, while a stream of Chi energy flowed into her. However, the grey-robed old woman was already shattered, with her bones broken and her meridians severed, beyond saving. After dozens of seconds, she spurted out another mouthful of blood, and then her head dropped, twitching a few times before falling silent.
The black-robed old man screamed in anguish, his eyes bloodshot. “Damn it, you deserve to die!” After a while, he got up and walked towards Billy, gritting his teeth. “Today, I will make you taste the bitterness of death!”
“Is that so?” Billy said as he pulled out the Bloodshadow Fury Blade. “You still have one last chance, cut off one arm yourself, then bring my message back to the Meskill family. I can spare you this time!”
“You arrogant brat, prepare to die!” The old man roared and charged at Billy. He couldn’t do as Billy said. He was a Seventh-rank Sovereign, how could he surrender without a fight in front of someone weaker than him?
“What a pity, it was your only chance, and you didn’t cherish it. You only have yourself to blame!” Billy raised his hand to meet the attack.
The black-robed old man was burning with rage, so his first move was his most powerful killer move. As he unleashed it, the entire courtyard seemed to be covered by dark clouds, with howling winds, giving a sense of destruction. Casey, who was a kilometer away, felt the momentum and couldn’t help but show a hint of seriousness on his face. He wanted to go help, but he knew his own condition. He couldn’t even activate the strength of a Second-rank Sovereign now. Rushing over would only burden Billy.
“Die!” Just then, the black-robed old man roared. In the next moment, the wild winds that were originally chaotic in the air, seemed to gather intelligence and converged together, sweeping towards Billy. The fierce wind became almost substantial, like a giant blade slashing towards Billy, with an overwhelming momentum.
“Boss, be careful, he’s using one of the Meskill family’s ultimate moves, Wind Slashing Art!” Casey’s voice came into Billy’s ears from a distance.
“Interesting!” Billy narrowed his eyes when he saw the opponent’s attack. However, he didn’t have much time to consider. His figure flashed, his wrist kept rotating, and he immediately activated the Domineering Blade Art.
“Huh?!”
Just as the blade aura of the Domineering Blade Art was about to strike, Billy sensed an invisible ripple shooting out from the opponent’s brow, rushing towards him with force. Immediately after, Billy felt his consciousness being disturbed, and the blade aura in mid-air also seemed to stagnate.
In battles between powerhouses, victory or defeat often hung by a thread. Even half a second was enough to determine the outcome.
Soon, Billy spewed out a mouthful of blood and flew several hundred meters away. After smashing into the ground and creating a large pit, he lay there, gushing out a large amount of blood, looking weak.
“Boss!” Casey exclaimed and quickly ran over.
“Boss, are you okay?” After helping Billy up, he asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Billy wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. Then, he took out a healing pill from his body, threw it into his mouth, and activated Heart Sutra of the Azure Void to heal himself. The blow from the opponent had obviously injured him severely. It was only because at the last moment, he woke up and dodged half of his body to avoid the worst consequences.
“Not bad! Taking my blow head-on and still able to stand up, you really surprised me!” At this moment, the black-robed old man strolled over.
“Boss, you go first, I’ll hold him off for a minute!” Casey stepped forward to face the opponent.
“Come back!” Billy said in a deep voice, following closely behind.
“Boss, hurry up!” Casey turned his head to look at Billy. “He probably won’t kill me. I…”
“You step back!” Billy interrupted him. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the opponent.
“You dare to come again? Your courage is commendable!” The old man fixed his gaze on Billy. “Do you know why you were a step behind just now?”
“You are the first person I’ve encountered who can use spiritual attacks!” Billy continued. In that moment just now, his mind went blank and he had no control over himself. Clearly, his opponent had attacked his brain and disrupted his thoughts with their spiritual power. Fortunately, the opponent’s Spiritual powerwasn’t very strong, so it only caused interference. Otherwise, his nervous system would have been damaged. Actually, it was Billy’s own carelessness. He never expected that his opponent would use spiritual attacks. If he had, it wouldn’t have been him who got injured.
“Not bad! You know spiritual attacks!” the old man spoke again. “But do you know that no matter how incredible your martial talent is, even if you can challenge opponents two levels higher, your Spiritual power can only stay at the level of your cultivation? In other words, once you reach the mid-Sovereign stage, if your opponent’s Spiritual power is stronger than yours, you have no chance of winning!”
“Is that so?” Billy didn’t rush to make a move, he needed some time to recover. After a brief pause, he continued, “From what you’re saying, I won’t be able to defeat you today?”
“Do you still want to try?” the old man coldly responded. “You were lucky just now to escape unscathed, but your luck won’t always be so good!”
“I never rely on luck!” Billy retorted once again.
“Quite arrogant!” the old man took a deep breath and continued. “I advise you to take your own life, otherwise, when you fall into my hands, you will definitely wish you were dead!”
“Those words should be said by me!” Billy sneered coldly.
“In that case, let me see how you will make me wish I was dead!” the old man didn’t intend to waste any more words.
“You will see soon enough!” Billy didn’t bother with more talk either.
“Take action!” as the old man’s words fell, his aura surged once again. Immediately, he activated the Wind Slashing Technique, and the nearly substantial wind blades swiftly slashed towards Billy.
At the same time, he released another spiritual attack, an invisible ripple emanating from his forehead.
“Hmm?!”
But the next moment, his pupils contracted to the size of needles. The old man realized that not only could his Spiritual power no longer affect Billy, but his own consciousness was being attacked, weakening the power of Wind Slashing Art by several degrees.
