Boom!
Before Billy’s words could even settle, a loud noise erupted from the crowd in Northfortia. In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes. One of the Eastern-faced women from the opposing side raised her hand and slapped one of the Sixth-rank Saint elders with a forceful palm.
The elder, caught off guard, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Despite his strength as a Sixth-rank Saint, the woman’s cultivation was clearly not inferior to his. With no defenses in place, he was severely injured and left with less than half of his fighting power.
Jaws dropped all around at the sight. What on earth was happening?!
“You fools, do you people from Oriana want to destroy your country?” The other Sixth-rank Saint elder bellowed in anger, raising his hand to retaliate against the woman.
But the woman didn’t respond to his words. Instead, she unleashed another palm strike. A loud crash reverberated as both individuals were pushed back several steps, ending the confrontation in a stalemate.
“You are from Glavale?” Miller furrowed his brow and spoke with a serious tone.
“Congratulations, you got it right!” The woman replied coldly before walking towards Billy.
“Ms Fraley?!” Elder Grand and Elder Wood exclaimed in surprise upon hearing her voice.
“Opal?!” Casey was equally astonished.
The woman was no other than Opal Fraley, the Ethereal Fairy from Ether Mountain.
“Opal, well done!” Billy smiled and spoke with a hint of expectation in his voice. From his tone, it was evident that he wasn’t too surprised. He had already suspected that Opal might have infiltrated the city of Northfortia in the past few days. So when he exchanged a glance with Opal earlier, he had a pretty good idea.
“Opal, your mastery of Master’s disguise technique is almost surpassing the original. I didn’t even recognize you!” Amber chuckled, having also guessed Opal’s identity after their brief exchange of glances.
“Why were you all so slow? I thought you would have taken action yesterday!” Opal spoke while adjusting her appearance back to normal.
“You are truly reckless!” Miller angrily retorted. “Did you kill Lord Elvis and the others?”
“If you’re referring to the two groups that came from the Central Part yesterday, then yes!” Opal shrugged her shoulders.
“Damn it!” The other Sixth-rank Saint elder, having stabilized his injuries with the help of his companion, immediately attacked Opal. “I’ll take your life!”
“Ignorant fool!” Opal retorted while hovering in mid-air. “Come with me, we’ll fight in a different location!”
“I will flay your skin today!” The elder followed in pursuit.
“Opal, be careful!” Billy shouted loudly.
“Just an ant!” Opal nonchalantly replied.
Casey choked on his own saliva.
Since when did a Sixth-rank Saint powerhouse become just an ant?
“Attack!” Miller’s expression contorted, and he roared in anger. “Leave no one alive! Kill them all!” Consumed by rage, Miller no longer cared about capturing Billy alive. All he wanted now was bloodshed.
The situation, which had been in Northfortia’s favor, suddenly turned disadvantageous due to Opal’s intervention.
“Kill!” Billy’s voice echoed with determination as he dashed towards Miller.
“Lord Dragon, watch yourself!” James Reynolds shouted, raising his hand and gesturing to attack.
Then, both sides simultaneously assumed their positions and charged towards each other. Due to the limited space, many people soared through the air towards the open ground around them. Among the Northfortia group, besides Miller, there were six other powerful Saints of the fifth rank. Elder Grand Ravenwood and the other three Glavalean elders each picked a target and launched their attacks. In addition, two men of the fifth rank from Aquilandia’s camp were chosen to face two others. Amber rushed towards the battle between Billy and Miller as she said, “Billy Boy, let me handle it!”
“No, thanks, Amber!” Billy responded. “I can handle it, you go help the others!”
“Well, be careful then!” Amber didn’t persist.
She knew Billy’s strength and didn’t think it would be a problem for him to deal with a Fifth-rank Saint opponent. After saying that, she turned and charged towards several Fourth-rank Saints from the other side.
“Casey, go check on the other comrades!” Amber raised her hand and sent one Fourth-rank Saint flying a hundred meters away before shouting loudly.
“When Harleen and Ivy arrive, you lead them to deal with the mid-to-late Sovereign stage warriors from Northfortia!”
“Alright!” Casey fought one palm with a Second-rank Saint opponent and then turned and dodged to one side.
This battle today was definitely a tough one, not only because of the high-end combat power, but also the clash between Sovereigns was of utmost importance. Taking down the city of Northfortia with minimal casualties was Glavale’s goal!
Boom!
Before long, a loud noise came from the battle between Billy and Miller. Following that, Billy’s blood-red blade aura landing on the Demonic Beast that Miller had transformed his Chi energy into. The attacks from both sides exploded simultaneously. The resulting shockwave shook the surroundings like a hot weapon explosion. Several nearby buildings collapsed instantly. At the same time, Billy and Miller were sent flying two to three hundred meters away, each spraying out a mouthful of blood. Miller had reached the level of a Sixth-rank Saint, a step higher than the white-robed old man they encountered on their way. With the activation of his bloodline power, Billy barely managed to fight Miller to a draw by displaying the Domineering Blade Art.
“Not bad!” After taking a brief rest, Miller looked at Billy and spoke in a deep voice. As he spoke, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. It was only at this moment that he realized why they had sent so many people before and still failed. He severely underestimated the fighting strength of this young man in front of him.
“You should still have a trump card, right?” After resting for a moment, Billy looked at Miller and said. “Don’t hold back, activate your trump card, let’s settle it with one move!”
“As you wish!” After taking a deep breath, Miller responded. He had no intention of continuing to drag the fight out with Billy.
Immediately after, a chilling aura erupted from him, enveloping the space where they were. Even the formidable presence of Billy couldn’t help but slightly shrink his pupils when he sensed this aura. At the same time, the blood vessels on Miller’s body expanded at a visible speed, more than doubling their original size. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes turned blood-red. What was more, his entire physique seemed to have increased by a quarter. Obviously, he had activated some kind of secret technique. Then, he raised his hands to the left and right, and the corpses of several Northfortian men who had already died in battle flew towards him. As the bodies flew closer, Miller tightly clenched his hands, and the corpses instantly turned into a blood mist.
“Blood Sacrifice!”
Miller shouted in a loud, deep voice. The next moment, the blood mist floating in the void began to surge. In just a few blinks of an eye, it condensed into a three-meter-tall skeleton, holding a death scythe in its hand. With the appearance of the skeleton, the chilling aura in the surroundings became even stronger, sending shivers down one’s spine.
