Whoosh!
As Billy’s voice rang out, a surge of Chi energy materialized into a palm strike, slashing towards the middle-aged man with precision.
“Hmm?!” Sensing the impending danger behind him, the man furrowed his brows and swiftly turned, unleashing a gust of wind.
However, he overestimated his own strength. After the clash of their palm strikes, the Chi energy attack broke through his defense and directly sliced through his shoulder, causing his entire arm to fall to the ground, blood gushing out.
“Hmm…” The man grunted, taking several steps back, his face pale, a hint of deep fear flickering in his eyes. He could sense that his opponent had shown him mercy. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been his arm that fell to the ground, but his head.
Steven Thomas paused for a moment and then recognized Billy. “You severed his arm! You truly have the audacity!”
“Harleen, are you all okay?” Billy ignored him and walked quickly to Harleen and the others, asking.
“Don’t worry, we’re fine!” Harleen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and responded.
“Take a seat and rest for a while!” Billy assessed their injuries briefly, relieved that they weren’t too severe.
“Boss, what should we do?” Casey approached Billy and asked.
“Strip away all their cultivation!” Billy replied in a low voice.
Upon hearing his words, Paige Martin took a sharp intake of breath and quickly spoke up. “Commander Gardner, he is the eldest son of the Thomas family. If you strip away his cultivation, his father…”
“If his father wants to settle scores, then we’ll strip away his cultivation too!” Billy interrupted her with a stern voice.
Paige choked and twitched at the corner of her mouth, choosing not to speak further.
“Casey, go ahead!” Billy commanded.
“Yes!” Casey responded loudly.
“You dare!” Steven Thomas shouted angrily. “If you dare to strip away our cultivation, I promise that all of you will die!”
“You idiot!” Bob cursed. “You’re really pushing your luck by laying a hand on Ms Knight and Ivy. You must have a death wish!” As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed forward, while Casey and Azure Dragon simultaneously launched their attacks.
“Know your place!” The young man who had injured Frostblade initially roared furiously and charged at Bob. But halfway through his charge, a powerful gust of wind erupted from Casey’s hand, directly colliding with his abdomen. Immediately, an immensely violent force surged into his Dantian, obliterating it.
“Ah…” The man let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground.
In less than a minute, apart from the middle-aged man who had lost his arm and Steven Thomas, everyone else had fallen. All of their cultivation had been stripped away, and despair filled their faces. The Polar Snow Domain was a world of martial artists. Without their cultivation, they were no different from dead bodies.
“So, Master Steven, do you have anything else to say?” Azure Dragon looked at Steven Thomas and spoke calmly.
Steven Thomas’s face turned pale, trembling all over as he knelt in Billy’s direction.
“I… I’m sorry, Commander Gardner. I… I made a mistake. I beg you to spare me this time. I won’t dare again…”
“Commander Gardner, we were in the wrong first. I’m sorry!” The armless man also looked at Billy and spoke with difficulty.
“Please, Commander Gardner, have mercy on us!”
“So quick to surrender?” Billy coldly glanced at them and spoke indifferently. “You wanted to provoke me into taking action so that you would have a reason to attack me, didn’t? Now, I’m making this situation blow up, which is exactly what you wanted, isn’t it?”
As a cunning individual, how could he not see through their intentions? Billy knew they had received news as soon as his group left the town. So they dared to send so many people to the courtyard and make a fuss about searching it was clearly meant to provoke Harleen and the others into taking action to stop them. Because only then would they have a reason to attack.
However, little did they know that Billy’s skills were so powerful that even an Eighth-rank Sovereign couldn’t match him in a single move.
“I… I’m sorry, I made a mistake. Please spare me…” Steven Thomas felt Billy’s intent to kill and kept bowing forcefully.
“Now that you know you made a mistake, but you must face the consequences!” Billy replied calmly. Then he gestured towards Azure Dragon and said, “Disable his cultivation and throw him out!”
“No, please…” Steven Thomas shouted desperately.
As a muffled sound echoed, Steven Thomas somersaulted several times before crashing to the ground, like a lifeless dog, his face filled with despair. The one-armed man saw this and hesitated no more. He quickly turned around and ran towards the door. For him, losing an arm was barely acceptable, but having his cultivation disabled was as good as being killed. So he no longer cared about Steven Thomas.
“You think you can run?” Billy’s eyes narrowed and a powerful palm force whistled out.
The next moment, the man was lifted off his feet and thrown outside the mansion, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re… so ruthless.” After a while, the man struggled to speak a few words before his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Five minutes later, including Steven Thomas, everyone was thrown out of the mansion.
“Commander Gardner, what about my brother? Didn’t he come back with you?” Paige Martin asked Billy.
“He’s back. He found some spiritual stone mines and delivered them to the warehouse.” Billy responded.
“He found spiritual stone mines?” Paige Martin’s eyes lit up. “Are there other spiritual stone mines in that place?”
“Yes.” Billy smiled faintly.
“That’s great!” Paige Martin’s face lit up with joy.
“Billy, did Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise go to help? Why haven’t we seen them?” Harleen asked.
“Yes!” Billy smiled again.
After about half an hour, the group tidied up the courtyard and sat on stone benches to rest. Shortly after, Vermilion Bird and the others walked in from outside, with Black Tortoise carrying the unconscious Oriana man in his hands. Almost at the same time they entered the courtyard, a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside the main gate.
“Commander Gardner, I hope you have enough reason to disable my son’s cultivation!”
A voice of an angry middle-aged man sounded. At the same time, several powerful auras surged into the sky, enveloping the entire courtyard.
“They came pretty fast!” Billy squinted his eyes and then looked at Ocean Martin, saying, “Don’t go out for now.” After saying that, he walked towards the main gate, with Casey and the others following closely behind.
Stepping outside the courtyard, they saw a large crowd, about four to five hundred people, standing in front of them. Leading the group were three middle-aged men in their fifties, all at the late stage of the Sovereign Realm.
Seeing the three middle-aged men, Paige Martin took a deep breath. “Why did all three of them come?!”
