Above the heads of the group, a gigantic ice ball with a diameter of about 20 to 30 meters appeared. It quickly descended towards them like a small mountain, exuding an overwhelming aura. In this situation, Harleen and the others faced two choices: either they join forces to withstand the impact or they scatter individually. However, both options carried risks.
If they stayed together, they needed to consider if they could handle the attack since everyone was already nearing their limits. If they scattered, the question of whether they could defend against the other ice balls in the void, especially for Judge and Soul Chaser, remained uncertain.
“Let’s face it together!” Harleen responded as soon as she could. She knew that if they scattered, Judge and Soul Chaser would be at greater risk. It was better for everyone to join forces and fight.
“Okay!” they all responded simultaneously. Gritting their teeth, their aura surged once again, and determination flickered in their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the large ice ball had arrived above their heads.
“Come on!” Judge shouted.
Boom!
At this moment, a thunderous sound reverberated through the air. Next, all the ice balls in the sky, including the giant one, exploded into countless snowflakes, gently falling to the ground. Soon after, the blizzard ceased and the snowflakes in the air slowly descended. Within a minute, everything returned to normal. The sun shone brightly, as if nothing had happened.
“Is everyone okay?” Billy walked towards them, and a corpse lay in the snow a few hundred meters behind him.
“We’re fine!” they all shook their heads simultaneously.
“Ivy, give Judge and Soul Chaser a Chi Condensing Pill.” Billy instructed.
“Okay!” Ivy nodded and took out two pills from her pocket.
“Lord Dragon, someone is coming out!” Otis Hum pointed towards the direction of the valley.
Billy and the others looked and saw about forty to fifty Caucasian men and women walking towards the corpse.
“Lord Keller!” Upon reaching the body, many of them shouted loudly.
“You dare to kill Lord Keller! I will make all of you pay with your lives!” a voice of an elder echoed.
As the voice sounded, four elders descended from the valley, flying through the air.
From their appearance, these four individuals seemed to be ancient beings who had lived for one or two hundred years. The person who spoke was a black-robed elder at the forefront.
“Boss, can you determine the cultivation level of the leading elder?” Bob asked Billy.
“A Fifth-rank Saint!” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly as he answered.
The elder was one level higher than the person from Aquilandia they encountered yesterday. In addition to the leader, there was also a late-stage Fourth-rank Saint among them, and the remaining two were not weak either, all at the Third-rank Saint realm.
While speaking, a solemn expression crossed Billy’s face.
Soul Chaser frowned as he said, “The deputy city lord of Northfortia, named Ode, mentioned that their city’s strongest individual is their city lord, who possesses the cultivation level of a Fifth-rank Saint. Could it be that this old immortal is the city lord of Northfortia?”
“Unlikely!” Otis Hum replied beside them. “The city lord of Northfortia is named Miller, and he is less than sixty years old.”
“What’s going on then? Could it be that Northfortia has sent people from the country again?” Judge also furrowed his brow.
“It’s possible!” Otis Hum nodded. “Of course, it could also be people returning from the Central Polar Domain.”
“I see.” Judge shrugged his shoulders.
“Boss, do you have a plan?” Bob looked at Billy and asked.
“With the strength of a fifth-grade Saint, even if you activate your bloodline power, you might not be able to withstand them, right?”
“They’re all mine!” Billy narrowed his eyes. “You all need to be careful too. The other forty to fifty people are also powerful!”
Among those people on the other side, there were at least three or four Half-Step Saints, as well as several strong Sovereigns. Harleen and Ivy would have a tough time dealing with them.
“Billy, it’s too dangerous for you to handle all four of them alone!” Ivy frowned.
“I’ll go with you, Billy!” Harleen took a deep breath and spoke at the same time.
“No,” Billy shook his head. “You stay with Ivy and deal with the others.”
“But…” Harleen continued.
“Don’t worry about me.” Billy interrupted her.
Harleen didn’t insist any further. She knew that even if she activated the power within her, it wouldn’t be of much help. Moreover, if she went to help Billy, the others would be at a significant disadvantage.
As they were talking, the four elderly men from the other side landed on the icy surface, followed by the forty to fifty men and women who ran over.
“At such a young age, possessing such strength, you must be Glavale’s Commander Gardner, right?” The black-robed old man looked at Billy and spoke. “I originally thought that Glavale would send a few old things, but I didn’t expect them to send you. But it’s better this way, your value is far higher than those old fools in your city. And, since you’ve killed so many people from my Northfortia, today we’ll use your blood to pay tribute to their spirits in heaven.”
“Where are the people from Glavale?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the other side.
“If you want to know where they are, kneel down and kowtow to us a few times, and I’ll tell you!” A gray-robed old man, a third-grade Saint, from the other side spoke.
“You’re an idiot!” Judge retorted.
“You’re seeking death!” The gray-robed old man’s eyes twisted, and he casually raised his hand, unleashing a palm wind.
Bang!
Halfway through the palm wind attack, Billy blocked it.
“If you dare to make a move again, you’ll die!” Billy glanced at the gray-robed old man. Then, he looked at the leader among them and asked again, “I’ll ask once more, where are they?”
“It seems like you haven’t understood the situation!” The black-robed old man spoke calmly. “You don’t think that just a few of you can save them, do you?”
“Still not answering me?” Billy narrowed his eyes.
“Such courage at the face of death, I admire you!” The black-robed old man chuckled coldly. As his words fell, his tone grew serious. “I’ll give you a chance. Abandon your cultivation and come with us, and I’ll give you a way out.”
“You old bastard, if you want to fight, hurry up and make your move, stop wasting your breath!” Soul Chaser shouted loudly.
“I’ll give you ten seconds to consider!” The black-robed old man ignored Soul Chaser and continued to address Billy.
“Everyone, be careful!” Billy didn’t respond to the other’s words and turned to Harleen and the others to give them a warning. While speaking, his aura gradually soared. Soon, a divine dragon mark appeared on his forehead. Facing the opponent’s formation, if he didn’t activate his bloodline power, he wouldn’t have even the slightest chance of winning.
However, even if he did activate his bloodline power, it would still be difficult for him to contend with a Fifth-rank Saint.
