“Sir, we should stop the Holy Son! It’s almost too late!” The other elders shouted simultaneously.
“The Holy Son is at a critical moment in awakening his bloodline. If you forcefully stop him, you should be well aware of the consequences!” Opal raised her voice. “If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility for your Ravenwood family?”
“Lady Fraley, we didn’t anticipate that awakening the bloodline would consume so much spiritual energy.” Jenson Ravenwood responded loudly. “If the Holy Son depletes all the spiritual energy in the bloodline pool, our Ravenwood family’s descendants will not be able to awaken their bloodline for at least ten years…”
“It was your decision to call him back to awaken his bloodline in the capital city. Do you regret it now?” Opal interrupted.
“We underestimated the situation at first. We need to reconsider this matter.” An elder of the Ravenwood family stepped forward.
“Forcing an interruption can cause damage to his meridians, or even a complete loss of cultivation. The consequences are severe!” Opal spoke again. “Today, I want to see who dares to make a move!”
“If you dare to harm our boss, even if it costs us our lives, we will make sure to take some members of your Ravenwood family down with us!” Soul Chaser shouted loudly.
Though Casey, Harleen, and the others didn’t speak, they released their strongest auras one by one, prepared for battle at any moment.
“Lady Fraley, we have no intention of becoming enemies with you. Please do not make a mistake!” Jenson furrowed his brows and spoke loudly. “You should be well aware that if a conflict were to arise, not a single one of you would leave this place alive with just your meager numbers!”
“Are you trying to scare us? Too bad, we’re not easily frightened. If you have the guts, come and try!” Bob shouted.
“A bunch of ants dare to be arrogant in front of my Ravenwood family. You truly do not know the meaning of death!” the elder from before shouted again.
“You geezers, come out and fight me one on one. I’ll strip you of your pitiful hair!” Stout retorted.
“You insolent brat, it seems like you’re tired of living!” The elder shouted angrily and rushed toward Stout.
“Step back!” Azure Fang, standing next to Stout, swung his sword.
“You don’t know the meaning of death!” The elder’s eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a palm strike.
Bang!
There was a loud sound as Azure Fang was forced back several steps before regaining his balance, his aura slightly disrupted. As for the elder, he stumbled back two steps, momentarily stunned, before charging forward once again. The elder was a Sixth-rank Sovereign, two levels higher than Azure Fang. Before Azure Fang revealing his trump cards, Azure Fang wasn’t his match.
Just as he charged halfway, an incredibly sharp sword swiftly flashed out, piercing straight towards him, unstoppable.
“Hmm?” The elder’s pupils slightly contracted. Unable to withstand the attack head-on, he dodged to the side, avoiding it by half a body’s length.
The sword left a deep gash on his arm, spraying blood.
“Damn it, you actually injured me?!” The elder steadied himself and glared at Harleen, who had made the attack.
“That was just a warning. If you make another move, you die!” Harleen coldly responded.
“Such audacity! How dare you treat the Ravenwood family like this?” At this moment, Damian Ravenwood, the young master of the Ravenwood family, stepped forward. For him, his mood had already been gloomy due to Billy stealing his thunder. Before today, he believed that among all the young members of the Ravenwood family, he was undoubtedly the most outstanding. Even Jed Ravenwood, who possessed the same level of bloodline as him, couldn’t compare to him.
But suddenly, Billy appeared out of nowhere, possessing a golden bloodline that everyone in the Ravenwood family looked up to. When he heard this news yesterday, he felt like he had fallen into an abyss, surrounded by darkness. And now, with such a turn of events, he naturally felt delighted that Billy couldn’t complete the bloodline awakening. That way, he would still be the number one talent of the Ravenwood family.
“I’ll give you all a chance!” Damian Ravenwood looked at everyone and continued speaking. “Except for Lady Fraley, send anyone to face me. If they can withstand one move from me, I will let Commander Gardner complete the bloodline awakening inside the bloodline pool. Or I’ll make him stop right now!”
“Dang it, so this is the kind of character the so-called young master of the Ravenwood family is?” Judge cursed. “Why are you only excluding Lady Fraley you should exclude all of us who are above the Third-rank Sovereigns. That way, your chances of winning would be even greater!”
“If you dare to utter another word, believe it or not, I’ll disable you first?” Damian Ravenwood spoke in a threatening tone.
“If you have the guts, make your move. If I take a step back, I’ll be your grandson!” Judge shouted again.
“you’re so eager to die, huh? I’ll grant your wish!” Damian Ravenwood’s tone turned icy, and his aura gradually intensified.
“You want a fight, I’ll play your game!” Casey stepped forward, wielding the Bloodshadow Blade.
“Casey, Let me do it.”
Harleen and Ivy both shouted simultaneously.
“Casey, Harleen, let me handle this young master!” Ivy continued, “I’ll teach him a lesson!”
“Ivy, it’s too dangerous for you to go up there. Leave it to me, I’ll take him on!” Harleen responded.
“No!” Casey and Ivy shook their heads simultaneously.
“Trust me!” Harleen reassured them.
“Heh, you three do have loyalty and righteousness!” Damian sneered. “Alright then, all three of you attack together. If you can withstand a single strike from me, I’ll count it as your victory too!”
“Damian, come back!” At that moment, Ferdinand furrowed his eyebrows and stopped him.
Of course, he wasn’t worried that his son would lose, but rather concerned about Harleen and the others getting hurt. He had heard about Billy’s protective nature towards his fellows. If they were truly injured, Billy would not let it go easily.
“Father, rest assured, I know what I’m doing!” Damian responded.
“Do you really want to fight?” At this point, Opal asked coldly.
“Would you mind a friendly spar between peers, Lady Fraley?” Damian replied.
“Although you really have no shame, I’ll grant your wish!” Opal continued coldly. “But can you guarantee that if any of them can withstand a strike from you, you will no longer interfere with Billy’s awakening of his bloodline?”
“Of course!” Damian nodded in response.
“Mr Ferdinand Ravenwood, can his words represent the Ravenwood family?” Opal turned to the head of this family.
“They can!” Before Ferdinand could respond, Jenson spoke loudly, “As long as someone can withstand a strike from Damian, we will no longer intervene with the Holy Son!”
The other members of the Ravenwood family all wore disdainful expressions. In their eyes, this duel could only have one outcome, without any suspense. They believed that it would be questionable whether they could withstand a strike from Damian Ravenwood even if the three of them fought against him together.
“Hope you’ll keep your word!” After saying that, Opal looked at Harleen.
“Harleen, you take his strike!”
