“Alright!” the woman shouted before charging at Casey once again. The man, despite his severed arm, followed closely behind, still maintaining about sixty to seventy percent of his combat strength.
“You’re asking for it!” Casey’s eyes narrowed, wielding her battle sword to create a sharp net of blade techniques.
Bang!
The attacks of the three clashed once again, creating a thunderous sound. Afterward, Casey’s aura was slightly disheveled, and traces of blood appeared at the corners of her mouth.
“He’s injured! Finish him off with all your might!” the man roared in anger.
“Oh?” Casey’s eyes narrowed even further. “Since you’re so eager to die, let me send you on your way!” With those words, Casey activated the Bloodshadow Blade Technique, unleashing a curved blade aura towards the man.
“Be careful!” the woman exclaimed, simultaneously launching several powerful gusts of wind to counter the blade aura.
“Idiot!” Casey coldly remarked, almost at the same time the woman attacked. Without pausing, his wrist continued to twist, forming the Domineering Blade Art once again and slashing towards the woman. With Casey’s current strength, using his trump cards consecutively was not a problem.
“Damn it!” Seeing the blade curtain in mid-air, the woman couldn’t help but curse. She finally realized that Casey deliberately provoked her into using her trump card earlier. But at this moment, it was already too late for her to activate her own trump card. Although she intended to dodge, the blade curtain was already in front of her, leaving her with no escape. The only possibility left was to defend herself and simultaneously counter-attack, forming a defensive aura while launching several waves of energy.
The result was unsurprising. As the blade descended, the woman collapsed, her body severed in two, blood and flesh scattered. Witnessing this scene, the man with the severed arm no longer had any intention of continuing the fight. He quickly fled to the side. However, there was no way for him to escape from Casey’s blade. Before he could run a distance of five hundred meters, a curved blade aura sliced across his waist, causing his upper and lower body to fall to the ground successively. After taking a moment to catch his breath, Casey dashed towards Harleen and the others’ battle circle.
At this moment, Harleen and Ivy were both under the siege of two First-rank Saints. Both of them had sustained injuries. Although they were capable of challenging opponents of a higher realm, there was still a significant gap to bridge between them and the First-rank Saints. It was evident that simultaneously fighting against two First-ranks was not so simple.
Bang!
Just as Casey was halfway through his charge, a muffled sound resounded. Ivy was blasted away by one of her opponents, flying through the air and spewing a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily onto the snowy ground.
“Ivy!” Harleen, who was fiercely battling nearby, shouted loudly.
“I’m fine, Harleen, don’t worry!” Ivy climbed up from the ground and wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth.
“You won’t be fine in a moment!” Just as Ivy stood up, the two men attacked once again.
“Is that so?” Ivy stood her ground and looked at the two men with a cold smile. “You’re the ones who will be in trouble!”
She had already noticed Casey running towards her, so she had no intention of joining the fight. As her words fell, a cold light flashed like lightning, radiating a powerful momentum.
“Hmm?!” The two men’s pupils contracted, hastily dodging to the side. Although they reacted quickly, it was still too slow. The blade aura pierced through the left side of one man’s chest before slashing across the right thigh of the other. Both men fell to the ground simultaneously. The man on the left twitched for a few moments before going still. The man on the right lay sprawled on the ground, blood gushing from his thigh, his face white as a sheet.
“Ivy, are you okay?” Casey asked, looking towards Ivy.
“Thanks, Casey, I’m fine!” Ivy responded loudly. “Go help Harleen!”
“Alright!” Casey replied, turning and rushing towards Harleen.
There wasn’t much suspense in what happened next. With Casey joining the fight, the several top-ranked martial artists on the other side couldn’t hold on for more than ten minutes before they all fell, none of them surviving.
At the same time that Casey was fighting the two Second-rank Saint martial artists, Billy and his eight opponents found themselves on an icy surface a couple of kilometers away, their auras continuously rising.
“I advise you to surrender, willingly. You have no chance of winning!” one of the Fourth-rank Saints on the other side said to Billy.
“If you leave now, you may still keep your lives!” Billy replied coldly.
“Such arrogance!” the man looked at Billy. “Do you think you, as a Second-rank Saint, can escape from the eight of us attacking you?”
“Not willing to leave?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Then let’s fight!”
“Give him a taste of his own medicine!” the man said in a deep voice, raising his hand. “Everyone, attack together, disable him first!”
“Understood!” all eight people responded simultaneously, raising their hands and charging towards Billy.
“You really have a death wish!” Billy replied coldly. With that, his eyes darkened and his aura surged once again, the mark of a dragon appearing between his brows. Then, gripping the Fury Blade, he unleashed a net of knife techniques, meeting the charge of the eight opponents. The net of knife techniques demolished everything in its path, sending large chunks of ice flying.
Bang!
The two sides clashed with a thunderous sound, and the powerful force sent a gust of wind, lifting a great amount of snow and ice into the air. After the first wave of attacks, both sides stopped momentarily. Although Billy had activated his bloodline power, he still sustained some injuries under the assault of seven or eight opponents. However, the three Fourth-rank Saints on the other side weren’t faring any better. Two of them had severely weakened auras, their fighting strength reduced to less than half.
“Not bad, being able to withstand our attacks alone, truly worthy of your title!” one of the Fourth-rank Saints said, looking at Billy. “But if this is all the power you have, then the fight can end now!”
“Is that so?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Then come on! Let me show you what despair looks like!” As soon as his words fell, his aura exploded instantaneously.
“Five Elements Secret Art, Earth Technique!”
The next moment, with a deep voice from Billy, the ice blocks around them once again floated into the air. Following that, a dense volley of ice blocks, carrying immense energy, shot towards the eight opponents at lightning speed, their formation shocking.
“A feeble trick!” a Third-rank Saint on the other side sneered. As she spoke, she raised her hand and sent several gusts of wind crashing into the incoming ice blocks. In her estimation, they were just ice blocks, incapable of posing any threat to her.
However, the next moment, her face froze. Because the anticipated scene did not occur. Those ice blocks seemed indestructible, as if enchanted, and her full-force strikes only slightly slowed their advance.
Bang!
Then, two large ice blocks collided heavily with her chest, shattering her sternum, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. Following that, she flew backward like fallen leaves in autumn, sliding dozens of meters on the icy surface before coming to a stop. Her mouth opened wide, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Then, with a kick of her legs, she fell silent.
