“Trying to get yourself killed?”
Just then, a chilling voice echoed through the air. Following that was a fierce wind howling in the void, causing chaos. Immediately after, a blood-red blade aura tore through the air, slashing towards the Second-rank Saint old man with extreme speed.
“Careful!” The black-robed old man’s pupils shrank in fear as he shouted loudly.
“Hmm?!” The Second-rank Saint old man also sensed the strong sense of danger and his face filled with panic. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He could only defend himself with an attack.
Swoosh!
As expected, the blood-red blade aura tore through his attack and pierced through his chest.
“So… strong…”
The old man looked down at the wound on his chest and struggled to say a few words before his body collapsed in two parts.
“Boss!”
“Billy!”
Seeing the figure in the sky, Casey and the others shouted at the same time, relieved that their worries were finally gone. The chilling aura that emanated from Casey dissipated, as he no longer needed to worry now that Billy had arrived. The secret technique Casey had prepared to use earlier was a forbidden secret of Hidden Dragon Sect, a self-destructive technique that would cause severe consequences. Even if it wasn’t as extreme as self-explosion, it would have severe effects such as damaging the meridians and greatly reducing one’s cultivation, or even destroying the Dantian and rendering one a cripple. Therefore, no one would easily use this technique unless it was absolutely necessary. Casey was forced into a desperate situation just now, or he wouldn’t have considered it.
“Opal?!”
Immediately after, Casey and the others saw two beautiful figures entering their sight.
They were overjoyed and shouted loudly.
Earlier, when Billy received Felicia’s call, their carriage was less than a hundred kilometers away from here.
After hanging up the phone, Billy and Opal and Amber rushed over first, luckily not too late.
“Opal, Amber, please take action against Aquilandia!” Billy said in a serious voice.
After speaking, he descended from the sky and headed towards Casey and the others. Casey and the others were all seriously injured and needed to stabilize their injuries as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
“Alright!” Amber and Opal responded simultaneously and rushed towards the people from Aquilandia.
Opal’s target was the black-robed old man, a Third-rank Saint, while Amber attacked the others. With Amber’ strength, those people were no different from ants in front of her. With a wave of her hand, dozens of them fell, lying lifeless on the ground.
“You’re damn annoying!” The black-robed old man saw this scene and shouted angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Amber Barnes.
“If you want to die, I can leave your corpse intact!” Just as he was about to make a move, Opal blocked his path.
“You’re so arrogant!” The black-robed old man responded angrily, “Get out of my way!” He mobilized his entire strength and unleashed countless thunderous auras in the sky, causing a fierce wind to blow.
“If you refuse to die, then let me help you!” Opal responded coldly. Immediately after, her eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand, sweeping it out casually.
“Hmm?!” The seemingly casual palm strike made the old man feel the breath of death. His pupils shrank in fear. It was only at this moment that he realized Opal wasn’t joking with him; the gap in their strength was like heaven and earth, completely in different leagues.
Just as the old man hadn’t fully recovered from his shock, a burst of blood mist exploded in the sky. The Third-rank Saint powerhouse had been turned into nothingness by Opal’s palm strike.
“Now you believe?” Opal looked at the sky and said calmly before rushing towards the others.
On the other side, under Amber’s attack, around one or two hundred people from Aquilandia had already fallen. The remaining people were already terrified, and now seeing their leader being directly turned into blood mist, they didn’t dare to fight anymore and hurriedly fled for their lives. Opal and Amber ignored them and allowed them to flee in all directions.
Soon, the two of them walked towards Billy, Casey, and the others. Billy was tending to everyone’s injuries, as each person had been pierced by several silver needles. Their auras were more stable than before, and their complexion had somewhat improved.
“Opal!”
Opal nodded. “You guys focus on healing for now, we can talk later!”
“Amber, why are you here too?” Felicia asked, her face full of surprise as she looked at Amber Barnes. Among the people present, apart from Billy, only she knew Amber Barnes. Given her personality, if she weren’t injured, she would have already cheered and jumped around with Amber.
“I came with Opal to check on you guys,” Amber smiled. “Don’t talk for now, focus on healing your injuries first!”
“Okay!” Felicia nodded.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. Harleen and the others arrived at the scene in a sleigh. After getting off the sleigh, they saw Casey and the others’ condition, and worry appeared on everyone’s faces. Then, Ivy helped Billy in tending to everyone’s injuries. It took a total of three to four hours, but they finally reached a conclusion. Casey and the others’ injuries were mostly stable.
“Boss, where are we going next?” Bob asked as everyone got on the car. “Are we going to Nordhaven City?”
“We’re going back the same way, let’s stay in the nearest Northwell City for one night!” Billy said after thinking for a moment. “Casey and the others won’t recover so quickly, they’ll need at least another day. Also, give Azure Fang a call and let them know to meet us in Northwell City tomorrow!”
“Alright!” Bob nodded and drove the car.
“Billy Boy, what’s the plan in Aquilandia?” Amber asked as the car drove away.
“Boss, it’s time to deal with the situation in Aquilandia. Otherwise, once they ally with Northfortia, we’ll be at a huge disadvantage!” Azure Dragon said, looking at Billy.
“Uh-huh.” Billy nodded. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed James Reynolds’ number.
“Lord Dragon, this is James Reynolds!” James Reynolds’ voice came through the phone.
“Lord Reynolds, please inform Commander Coates to bring ten thousand troops to the North before tomorrow evening!” Billy said.
“Are you planning to take action against Aquilandia?” James Reynolds asked, slightly surprised.
“Yes.” Billy replied. “Tell Commander Coates to arrange for the troops to move in batches and try to avoid passing through public cities. Then, find a place about a hundred kilometers away from Aquilandia’s city to set up camp!”
“Lord Dragon, Aquilandia has at least a hundred thousand people in the Northern Polar Domain.” James Reynolds paused for a moment before continuing, “Should I have Commander Coates bring more troops?”
“No need for too many, just choose ten thousand elite soldiers.” Billy responded.
“Understood!” James Reynolds solemnly replied.
“Lord Dragon, do you want me to come along with Elder Ravenwood?” James Reynolds asked again.
“No need,” Billy said. “After we initiate the war with Aquilandia, Northfortia might send people to the East. You and Elder Ravenwood should stay in the city, just in case! Also, have Elder Wood and the other four elders come with Commander Coates!”
“Yes, Lord Dragon!” James Reynolds responded respectfully.
