“This is what you asked for, can’t blame me!” Thomas responded before walking towards the referee. Naturally, approval from the organizing committee was required for this matter.
A few minutes later, Thomas returned and said to Billy, “The organizing committee has agreed. Commander Gardner, please wait a moment. I’ll call them up.”
“Good!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Soon, this news spread throughout the entire competition venue, shocking the majority of people who heard it. Following that, everyone started heading towards Arena No. 6. Such a lively scene was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that couldn’t be missed.
At this moment, Opal, Azure Dragon and the otehrs also gathered near Arena No. 6. Billy had already informed Opal of today’s arrangement, so she wasn’t surprised. Actually, she was initially against it, considering the high level of danger involved. Facing opponents at the Sovereign Realm all at once was no joke. However, Billy repeatedly assured her that there wouldn’t be any problems, so she reluctantly agreed. She understood Billy’s intentions very well. He planned to take them all out in one fell swoop, seeking revenge for their compatriots from a hundred years ago. And she had also decided that she would be watching from the sidelines. If a crisis really occurred, she could intervene at any time to save the day. She couldn’t care less about the rules of the competition. In the face of absolute strength, all rules were meaningless. Otherwise, Glavale wouldn’t have suffered such a miserable defeat a hundred years ago.
“Fairy Opal, why is Lord Dragon doing this?”
Ernest Shepherd, Otis Hum, and Milo Guzman approached. There was a trace of worry on their faces as they looked at Opal and asked.
“Elder Guzman, you don’t need to worry. Billy knows what he’s doing!” Opal smiled lightly.
“But…” Otis Hum took a deep breath and spoke.
“I guarantee that he will be fine!” Opal interrupted Otis Hum’s words with another smile.
“Well, alright then!”
The three of them nodded. They were concerned because they knew Billy’s personality very well. He must have his own confidence in doing this, otherwise, he wouldn’t act so recklessly.
After about a quarter of an hour, more than 400 qualified participants, led by Northfortia, stood on the arena, with Northfortia as their leader. The arena for the Global Martial Arts Competition was quite large, even if five or six hundred people fought on it at the same time, it wouldn’t feel too crowded. After all, in this level of duel, if the arena was too small, the majority of people would be knocked out before they could even make a move. It was worth mentioning that apart from the nine Western countries, people from Veridiania were also present, including their princess, Princess Liz.
“Commander Gardner, Princess Liz also wants to join the fun. I suppose you don’t mind a few more people, Commander Gardner?” Thomas looked at Billy and spoke.
“It doesn’t matter!” Billy replied nonchalantly. He was just thinking about how to deal with the people from Veridiania, and now it was just what he wanted.
At the same time, the leaders of the various countries and their respective staff members also arrived near the arena. The entire arena was surrounded by layers of people, and the other arenas’ matches were temporarily suspended as all the spectators gathered here.
“Harleen, with so many people teaming up, can Billy really handle it?” Felicia looked at the arena and couldn’t help expressing her concern.
“Felicia, don’t worry too much. Boss should be confident, otherwise, he wouldn’t take such a risk.” Casey, who was beside her, replied.
“But what if something happens?” Felicia frowned.
“No worries. Opal will be watching, and if Billy is in any real danger, she’ll step in.” Harleen took a deep breath and reassured Felicia, although her worry was evident on her face.
“Alright,” Felicia nodded slightly, still concerned.
Apart from Harleen and the others, the staff members of the nine country delegations were also engaged in conversation. Their cheerful expressions indicated their excitement. For them, this was a golden opportunity to defeat Commander Gardner from Glavale. They were delighted at the prospect. Especially the representatives from Northfortia and Xidengia. They had been worried about the fate of their participants, as most of them had already been killed by now. They didn’t know how they would explain this failure upon returning. They had come with the mission of annihilating Glavale just like what had happened a hundred years ago. But instead of Glavale’s participants dying, it was their own countrymen who had suffered the most casualties. If they returned like this, they would face severe consequences. However, if they could eliminate Billy, they could redeem themselves and perhaps even receive rewards.
“Commander Gardner, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure about this?” the referee on the platform asked Billy.
“Let’s begin!” Billy surveyed the more than 400 people surrounding him and gave the command.
“I must say, Commander Gardner, you truly have the courage. We all admire you for it!” Princess Liz looked at Billy with a hint of icy resentment in her eyes. Her hatred for Billy had reached its peak since he had not only killed her master but also taken the life of her lover. This grudge was irreconcilable.
“Lord Thomas, shall we start?” Princess Liz then turned to Thomas.
“Alright!” Thomas nodded in response and raised his hand. “Attack! Everyone, give it your all. No holds barred, let’s finish this quickly!” he ordered.
“Kill!” As soon as he finished speaking, more than 400 people shouted in unison.
Immediately, a strong aura surged into the sky, enveloping the entire area in an instant. Then, everyone simultaneously unleashed their strongest power and attacked Billy with full force. Among them, there were about twenty to thirty individuals who possessed cultivation levels at the Sovereign Realm and above. Working together, their combined forces created a formidable wave of energy, with an overwhelming momentum.
“Five Elements Secret Art, the Art of Metal!”
At the same time, Billy’s voice resounded. In an instant, an incredibly violent surge of energy erupted from his body. The onlookers near the platform, who had come to watch the spectacle, suddenly found their weapons slipping out of their hands as if under a magical spell, hanging in mid-air.
“Strike!”
With Billy’s command, thousands of weapons shot towards the more than 400 people, each following its own trajectory, unstoppable and powerful.
“Huh?!” At this sight, the hundreds of people on the platform were stunned, and many couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily. Not only them, but the people from the ten countries surrounding the platform also had shocked expressions on their faces.
No one had expected Billy to possess such formidable secret arts.
