“Interesting!” The old man in the black robe sensed the change in Billy’s aura and was slightly taken aback. “But do you think you can win just by forcefully raising your cultivation to the Second Rank? You’re too naive!”
“You’re ignorant!” Soul Chaser retorted once again.
“You talk too much, kid. Let me send you on your way!” The old man in the gray robe furrowed his brow and raised his hand, striking out towards Soul Chaser.
“I’ve said it before, if you make another move, you die!” Billy spoke in a deep voice, simultaneously unleashing a slash of blood-red blade energy.
“How arrogant!” The other old man, a Fourth-rank Saint, remarked before a powerful palm wind surged forward to meet Billy’s attack.
After a muffled sound, both of them slid back tens of meters, their auras slightly disordered. The opposing old man steadied himself, his face showing a hint of surprise. He didn’t expect that the casual slash from Billy would possess such formidable energy.
“Since you insist on toasting but not eating, we’ll grant your wish!” Seeing this, the leading black-robed old man waved his hand.
“Attack together, kill them all!”
“Yes!” Forty to fifty men and women responded, charging towards Harleen and the others.
“Billy, be careful!” Harleen exclaimed, darting forward to meet them.
“Lord Dragon, if you’re not a match, you should leave first!” Otis Hum shouted, “You carry the fate of Glavale; you can’t afford to have any accidents!” As soon as the words fell, he rushed towards the opponents.
After Ivy, Bob, and a few others reminded Billy, they followed closely behind and rushed out as well. Soon, the scene descended into a fierce battle, with waves of energy and flashes of blades.
“Watch out for yourselves!” Billy responded loudly, then flew towards the direction of the valley. On one hand, he wanted to change the battleground for his duel against the four opponents. On the other hand, he also wanted to see if his fellow comrades were in the valley.
“You don’t even care about your own life, yet you have the mind to think about others!” The old man in the black robe understood Billy’s intentions. As soon as his words fell, he and the other three old men flew into the air to pursue Billy.
“Take another move from me!” Not long after, the Fourth-rank Saint from the opposing side spoke in a deep voice. With that said, he raised his hand and unleashed a violent gust of wind.
“What’s ten moves to me!” Billy responded in a deep voice, activating the Bloodshadow Blade Technique and slashing out.
A loud noise resounded, causing the snow and ice on the ground to be lifted into the air. At the same time, Billy and the opposing old man were both sent flying two hundred meters in opposite directions, still evenly matched. Shortly after, the five of them landed on the icy surface.
“Lord Allen, let’s attack together and disable him first!”
The Fourth-rank Saint then turned to his two companions, who were both Third-rank Saints.
“Alright!” The two of them nodded simultaneously.
Suddenly, the auras of the three individuals rapidly increased. Then, each of them activated their trump cards and launched their attacks at Billy. The Fourth-rank Saint revealed a constantly swirling black mist above his head. After a while, as he swung both arms, a skeletal image measuring two to three meters tall emerged from the mist, exuding a strong aura of death. The other two Third-rank Saints each summoned a Chi energy-formed monster, standing about four to five meters tall, with a dense killing intent enveloping their bodies.
“Die!” the three of them shouted at the same time.
Then, the three of them charged at Billy like three towering mountains, causing a sensation. The entire void trembled, and a violent hurricane swept through the air, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
“Do you remember what I said?” Billy looked at the old man in the gray robe and continued, “I said I would send you on your way first!”
While speaking, he directly activated the Domineering Blade Art, dyeing the entire void blood red with the curtain of the blade. Immediately after, the blade containing an overwhelming momentum slashed towards the direction of the old man in the gray robe. Just from this momentum alone, it was no less than the three opponents.
“Watch out!” The black-robed old man, a Fifth-rank Saint, sensed the power of Billy’s move and shouted.
As he shouted, he raised his hand and unleashed a violent gust of wind to confront the blood-red curtain of the blade. However, he was still a step too slow and could only block a part of the attack.
Boom!
A thunderous roar spread throughout the entire void, startling countless birds and beasts in the valley, causing them to panic and flee in all directions. The surging air waves spread in all directions like heavy-duty artillery, flattening two small hills within a two-kilometer radius.
At this moment, the figure of the Fourth-rank Saint old man and another Third-rank old man flew out like kites with broken strings. After crashing heavily several hundred meters away, the third-grade realm old man spewed a mouthful of blood and lost his breath with his head tilted. The Fourth-rank Saint old man tumbled a few somersaults on the ground but also coughed up a mouthful of blood. However, his condition was not too serious. After taking a brief rest, he stood up from the ground. The black-robed old man had blocked a part of the blade’s attack; otherwise, he would have been severely injured. As for the old man in the gray robe from earlier, he was directly cleaved in half by Billy’s blade curtain, his flesh and blood a mess.
When Billy said he would take care of him first, he was not joking.
“You damn it!” The black-robed old man angrily exclaimed as he looked at the corpses of his two companions. He didn’t expect Billy’s strike to have such power, almost killing even a fourth-grade sage with a single blow. While speaking, his aura instantly surged, revealing his fifth-grade sage cultivation. Immediately after, he took a few steps forward and raised his hand to the side. A massive block of ice floated in mid-air, measuring about twenty to thirty meters in length and width, and at least fifteen to sixteen meters in thickness.
“Go to hell!” After the black-robed old man snapped, the enormous block of ice, carrying a devastating energy, charged towards Billy, causing chaos in the void and creating a torrential wave.
In the face of the old man’s full-force attack, Billy didn’t dare to be careless. He took a deep breath and once again activated the Domineering Blade Art.
Boom!
The blood-red curtain of the blade struck the block of ice, once again creating a thunderous roar. At the sound of the explosion, both the curtain of the blade and the large block of ice exploded, and snow and ice fell from the sky. At the moment the ice block shattered, a vast and majestic shockwave rushed out from the black-robed old man’s hand. Without any hindrance, it crashed into Billy’s body. Billy’s defensive aura instantly exploded, and then he flew out like autumn leaves in the wind. He flew a distance of seven to eight hundred meters before crashing onto the ice surface, spewing a mouthful of blood at the same time, his aura extremely weak.
Obviously, the three-level difference was not so easily to overcome.
