After a loud bang, Billy and Waldo Lambert were simultaneously sent flying hundreds of meters away. With Billy’s cultivation reaching the seventh level, and with the activation of the Domineering Blade Art, his combat power was now strong enough to contend with a ninth-level expert.
Originally, Waldo Lambert could have used his spiritual power to attack, but unfortunately, he came across Billy, a genius of a millennium, whose spiritual power surpassed his own. So, for the time being, Waldo Lambert couldn’t do anything to Billy.
“You’ve got some guts, daring to take the bloodline of the Ravenwoods!” Waldo Lambert took a brief moment to catch his breath before looking at Billy and speaking.
“And not only that, you dare to do it so openly, I must say, I’m impressed!” Clearly, he recognized the dragon-shaped mark, and he also believed that Billy must have acquired the Ravenwood bloodline through some secret method.
“Who told you that I obtained my bloodline through usurpation?” Billy responded calmly.
“Heh, what a joke!” Waldo Lambert replied coldly.
“If you were a member of the Ravenwood clan, how could you be working in the capital city? The Ravenwoods and the capital city are not on the same page! Enough talk, take another palm from me. If you can survive, I’ll let you go today!”
As soon as his words fell, he launched another attack, and this time, his aura was even stronger than before. Judging from his stance, it seemed that he was about to unleash his ultimate move.
“Take my palm!”
Waldo shouted loudly, and a large palm appeared in the sky. Then, the phantom palm came crashing down like a small mountain towards Billy. For a moment, the air around them became turbulent like a tornado, and the entire void seemed to be in chaos.
“Billy, watch out!”
“Watch out!”
Several people a kilometer away shouted simultaneously. Even though they were a kilometer away, they could still sense the terror of this palm.
Swoosh!
Just as Billy gripped his mad blade, preparing to activate the Domineering Blade Art once again, a Chi-formed ancient sword shot towards the phantom palm at an incredible speed. The Chi-formed ancient sword effortlessly pierced through the phantom palm and directly pierced through Waldo Lambert’s heart, piercing right through him.
The scene instantly fell into silence, and the pressure in the air disappeared completely.
“Half… Half-step Saint…”
After a while, Waldo Lambert struggled to say a few words. Then, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he fell straight to the ground, a large amount of blood flowing out from under his body. A chorus of astonished exclamations sounded around, and everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Waldo Lambert, who lay motionless on the ground.
Just one move! Just one move!
A Ninth-rank Sovereign Realm expert was killed in a single move.
It was truly terrifying!
“Elder Lambert?!” The people from Wind & Cloud Holy Sect rushed over, shouting in pain, one by one.
At the same time, Casey, Ivy, and the others ran to Billy’s side. The people from the Meskill family and Genesis Sect stared solemnly at a figure that flew in from outside the courtyard.
To say he “flew” might be a bit exaggerated, but the person did indeed traverse the sky! In fact, for a late-stage Sovereign, a single leap could cover hundreds of meters. In a sense, it could be considered flying. Flying was just a rough concept, and there was no unified definition of how long one had to be off the ground or how far they had to leap in order to be considered flying. Whether it was a few hundred meters or several thousand kilometers, it just depended on the distance.
“Billy, how are you?” Ivy asked anxiously, while Casey and the others looked at Billy with concern on their faces.
“I’m fine, don’t worry!”
“Boss, is that person from Ether Mountain?” Stout pointed at the figure flying in the air and asked.
“No!” Billy shook his head in response. “I didn’t inform anyone from Ether Mountain this time.”
“Then who could it be?” Ivy asked with a serious expression. “A Chi-formed body, flying in the air, at least a half-step Saint!”
On the martial path, the Saint Realm was above the Sovereign realm. Just like the Sovereigns, the Saints were also divided into nine levels, with the first level being the weakest and the ninth level being the strongest. Of course, there was a hurdle between the Sovereign Realm and the Saint Realm, and that was the half-step Saint.
The Saints and the Sovereigns were completely different concepts. A genuine Saint Realm expert was a true powerhouse in every sense of the word. Especially in the later stage of the Saint Realm, they could fly into the air and move through the earth, causing mountains to crumble and rivers to overturn with just a wave of their hand. It was no longer a myth. Even just a Half-Step Saint was incomparable to any Sovereign martial artists.
The old guy from Wind & Cloud Holy Sect earlier had the cultivation of a Ninth-rank Sovereign Realm expert, but he hadn’t even reached the threshold of a Half-Step Saint. With just one move, he died at the hands of a Half-Step Saint. That was the difference.
“Who… who are you? How dare you…” trembled the elder of the Wind & Cloud Holy Sect as he looked at the man.
“Just a bored old immortal!” The figure strolled over, pointing towards Billy as he spoke.
“Since you know that he has taken the bloodline of my clan, this old immortal wants to kill him. If he has killed him, how could I investigate this matter!”
“Are… Are you from the Ravenwood clan?” The elder of Wind & Cloud Holy Sect trembled all over. He knew the weight that surname carried. The Ravenwoods’ overall strength surpassed even the Meskill family, and they were a presence that Wind & Cloud Holy Sect looked up to.
“What do you think?” The figure approached Billy, about fifty to sixty meters away.
He was in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong physique, and no hint of aura fluctuations, but his whole presence exuded an imposing manner. He was not angry, yet awe-inspiring.
“Are you Commander Gardner from Glavale? From Ether Mountain?” The man named Dawn Ravenwood looked at Billy and spoke calmly.
“What brings you here?” Billy asked. At this moment, he had already converged his aura, so the dragon-shaped mark between his eyebrows had long disappeared.
“Whose blood did you take to obtain your bloodline?” Dawn Ravenwood stared at Billy with his eyes like two sharp blades, speaking in a commanding tone.
“Do I need to tell you?” Billy glanced at him. Billy’s mother was from the Ravenwood clan, and if it was purely based on bloodline, the person in front of him could very well be his elder. But ever since his mother married into the Stuart family, she changed her surname. Moreover, when Billy was young, he rarely heard his mother mention anything about the Ravenwood clan. Obviously, there must be a special reason behind it. So, until he figured out the reason, Billy wouldn’t reveal his identity to the other party.
Upon hearing Billy’s words, a cold aura emanated from Dawn Ravenwood’s body.
