“You must have just arrived in the Polar Domain from Glavale, right?” said the Frost Palace Master. “I’ve never heard of someone as prominent as you from Glavale…”
“Veridiania must have hired you to attack my comrades, right?” Billy didn’t let him finish his words. “What did they offer you to give you such audacity?”
“If you want to know who ordered us, defeat me first!” the Frost Palace Master coldly responded.
“Alright then! Let’s not waste any more time, show me what you’ve got!” Billy replied. “Bring out your trump card and let me see how much strength you really have as a Second-rank Saint!”
“You’ll see it soon enough!” the Frost Palace Master coldly responded. As he spoke, the aura around him instantly soared to its peak, and the overwhelming pressure suffocated everyone present. Then, he raised both hands above his head, and soon a rapidly spinning energy sphere appeared above his palms. The size of the energy sphere grew larger and larger, reaching a diameter of over twenty to thirty meters in no time. At the same time, strong winds and thunderstorms raged in the air.
“Die!”
In the next moment, he forcefully pushed his hands forward, and the massive energy sphere rushed towards Billy like a meteor. The waves of energy surged, the winds howled, and the attack was as powerful as a collapsing mountain and splitting earth.
Just the sheer force made people tremble with fear!
“Be careful, Billy!”
“…”
Harleen and the others, who were not far away, shouted simultaneously upon sensing the commotion.
Before the opponent could launch his attack, Billy had already taken action. Facing a Second-rank Saint opponent, he wouldn’t be careless. Without hesitation, he directly activated the Earth technique from the Five Elements Secret Art. As a result, all the ice blocks, rocks, and remnants of buildings within a radius of two kilometers floated in mid-air, densely covering the sky. Then, all the objects shot towards the massive energy sphere from all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions resounded in the air, and the front wave of ice blocks and rocks were completely shattered upon contact with the energy sphere.
“With your cultivation, you’re far from breaking through my move!” the Frost Palace Master stood still, wearing an expression of disdain.
“Is that so?” Billy’s tone turned heavy. “Then let me show you what a miracle looks like!” As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and his aura soared once again. His hands quickly flipped. Immediately after, the remaining objects in the air accelerated and collided with the energy sphere. Both their force and speed surpassed the previous waves.
“Break!” After several more waves of collisions, Billy shouted in a deep voice.
Later, a sizable rock tore open a gap in the energy sphere. Once there was one, there would be more. Numerous rocks and remnants of buildings continuously tore through the energy sphere. In the blink of an eye, the entire energy sphere exploded and disappeared into thin air.
The Frost Palace Master spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards for four to five hundred meters, looking extremely feeble. Billy also staggered back for twenty to thirty steps, his blood boiling in his body, and he, too, spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You can’t be serious?!” the Frost Palace Master looked at Billy with a mixture of disbelief and horror after spitting out another mouthful of blood. He couldn’t believe that Billy had actually managed to break through his trump card. He was just one step away from reaching the Third-rank Saint realm, and that move of his could even pose a threat to a true Third-rank Saint opponent. Yet, it had been shattered by a Ninth-rank Sovereign.
“Are you surprised?” Billy took a moment to catch his breath before approaching the Frost Palace Master. “Can you tell me now? Who ordered you to attack my comrades?” asked Billy.
“Heh, you think that just because you defeated me, I’ll spill the beans?” the Frost Palace Master struggled to get up from the ground, a resolute look in his eyes. “Frost Palace has already been destroyed by you. We might as well go down together!” As he spoke, his aura surged, and the veins on his arms bulged visibly. His forehead was covered in popping veins as well.
“Lord Dragon, be careful! He’s going to self-destruct!” Ernest Shepherd’s voice came through.
“I see.” Billy replied. With his keen senses, Billy had already sensed the changes in the Frost Palace Master’s aura and knew his intentions. Without hesitation, he charged towards the opponent, who was planning on self-destructing. The power of a self-destructing Third-rank Saint was unimaginable. If he succeeded, most of the people present would be affected.
“Fool!” the Frost Palace Master sneered as he saw Billy approaching without retreating.
As Ernest Shepherd had predicted, he indeed intended to self-destruct. He knew he couldn’t leave this place alive today, so he might as well take a few people down with him.
“Be careful, Billy!” Harleen shouted as she saw the situation.
“Boss, watch out!” Casey and the others also shouted in unison.
In the blink of an eye, the Frost Palace Master’s body expanded by a third, resembling an inflated balloon. He looked unusually bloated.
Billy’s wrist swiftly rotated, and a row of silver needles shot towards the Frost Palace Master like a rainstorm.
“Useless!” the Frost Palace Master laughed coldly.
“Really?” Billy replied calmly. He stood still and made no further movements.
“Hahaha…” the Frost Palace Master started laughing heartily at the sky, then quickly charged towards Billy. “Come join me in death…”
But before he could finish his words, his expression froze. Because, at that moment, he realized that his body had deflated like a punctured balloon, and his chi energy was rapidly leaking out.
Immediately after, his body collapsed halfway, hitting the ground and causing him immense pain. Poor Frost Palace Master, a powerful Third-rank Saint martial artist, had become someone without any cultivation at the brink of death.
“You’re…” he looked at Billy with a mixture of despair and difficulty.
“The moment you thought of killing my four hundred compatriots, you should have known this would be the result!” Billy looked down at him with disdain. After speaking, he ignored the Frost Palace Master and turned to charge towards the other battlefields.
With Billy’s presence, the opposing forces couldn’t hold on for more than three minutes before they all fell. In the end, there was not a single survivor.
“Ivy, Stout, check on everyone’s injuries.” Billy instructed.
After the battle, many of the people brought by Ernest Shepherd and Otis Hum had been injured to varying degrees. Five or six of them were in critical condition.
“Got it!” Ivy and Stout responded simultaneously.
“Boss, are you okay?” Night Orchid and Frostblade asked Billy at the same time.
“I’m okay.” Billy reassured them before walking towards the Frost Palace Master. When he reached him, he looked down at him and calmly asked, “Can you tell me now? Was it people from Veridiania who ordered you?”
