“Die!”
The skeleton-like figure uttered a hoarse voice that sounded almost human. Immediately, the scythe in its hand swung towards Billy with an unstoppable force. But even before Miller activated his secret technique, Billy made his move as well. He knew very well that under the opponent’s secret technique, his Domineering Blade Art was no match. He had to try using the Five Elements Secret Art.
In the next moment, all the cold weapons in the hands of martial artists below the Saint realm within a two-kilometer radius floated in the air. Then, over a thousand weapons rained down toward the skeleton-like figure. However, as countless blades and swords approached the skeleton-like figure, they shattered and fell to the ground, unable to reach their target. Their only use was to slightly block the skeleton’s attack.
Boom!
After a loud crash, Billy was sent flying, spewing a mouthful of blood in mid-air. He flew for four to five hundred meters before crashing heavily to the ground, his aura weakened significantly. The cold weapons in the air also fell to the ground. Clearly, due to the huge difference in cultivation, even if he used all his cards, he was no match for the opponent under the premise of their secret technique.
“How’s that? Do you understand how powerful I am now?” Miller asked coldly, his tone turning heavy. “You killed so many people from Northfortia. Remember to apologize to them when you’re down there!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, and the skeleton-like figure raised its scythe once again, bringing down a thunderous strike towards Billy.
“Get out of the way!” Just then, Opal’s figure flashed over. She raised her hand and unleashed a violent wave of energy that collided fiercely with the skeleton-like figure.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the skeleton-like figure exploded and disappeared. At the same time, Opal and Miller were both sent flying hundreds of meters away. After crashing onto the ground, Miller tumbled several somersaults, blood pouring from his mouth. He soon returned to his original state, weak and with less than forty percent of his fighting power left. Opal’s condition wasn’t any better, her aura in disarray, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. After fighting against the Sixth-rank Saint elder for dozens of rounds and killing him, she had also suffered some injuries. But after Miller activated his secret technique, his strength had reached the level of a Sixth-rank Saint, putting Opal in an even more difficult situation. After this round, Opal’s fighting power was also reduced to about forty to fifty percent.
“Opal, are you okay?” Billy got up from the ground and walked towards her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die!” Opal wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up. “How about you? Can you hold on?”
“I’m fine!” Billy shook his head and took out a pill from his pocket, handing it to her. “Opal, take this pill.”
“Okay!” Opal took the pill and swallowed it.
“Take a moment to recover!” Billy said again before turning and walking towards Miller.
“Huh?!” However, just as he was halfway there, his pupils suddenly contracted. He sensed an extremely terrifying aura sweeping towards them from that direction, like an overwhelming force. Based on his judgment, the intensity of this oppressive aura could only come from a Seventh-rank Saint or even stronger!
“Billy, come back!” Opal also sensed it and immediately shouted to him.
Billy nodded and returned to Opal’s side. His face became solemn as he asked, “Opal, who do you think it could be?”
“I don’t know!” Opal shook her head. “It should be someone who just arrived from the Central Part. I’ve been to the Western Domain these past few days and haven’t come across anyone at this level!”
“Rust, there you are.” Seeing the elder in the sky, Miller got off the floor beaming with pleasure.
“Are you all right?” the old man with red hair asked after landing in front of Miller.
“Thanks for asking, I can hold on in here!” With that said, Miller pointed at Billy and Opal and spoke up, “Rust, Now! You should kill them and go help the others!”
“Hmm!” The red-haired elder nodded before looking at Billy and Opal. “You can choose to kill yourselves, and I’ll leave your corpses intact!”
“What an idiot!” Opal glanced at the elder before turning to Billy. “You can’t get into trouble, you go first!”
“Opal, you can’t stop him!” Billy’s face grew serious.
“Why are you talking so much? I told you to go, then go, Now!” Opal responded in a low voice.
“No!” Billy decisively shook his head. He knew what Opal was planning. There were only two ways for her to stop the opponent. One was to self-destruct, taking the enemy down with her; the other was to use a forbidden technique to forcibly elevate her cultivation by one level, maybe enough to fight against the opponent. However, considering Opal’s current physical condition, the consequences of using a forbidden technique would be no different from self-destruction. Even if she could kill the opponent, she would be left severely injured and debilitated.
“If you stay, we will both die!” Opal spoke up again.
“Not necessarily!” Billy took a deep breath and responded, “I can try to borrow the power of the nation’s Destiny, maybe I can make a stand!”
“You’re injured now, it’s difficult for you to bear the weight of the nation’s Destiny. Even if you succeed, you will inevitably be backlashed, the consequences will be severe!” Opal frowned.
“It’s okay, my body is special, nothing major will happen!” Billy spoke up again. “If I’m really backlashed, help me seal my meridians and Chi, the consequences won’t be too severe!”
“Are you two done talking?” At this moment, the red-haired elder looked at them and spoke calmly. “You don’t plan on killing yourselves, right? Let me help you then!” After he finished speaking, his aura instantly surged, shaking the surroundings like a raging flood. Just this aura alone brought despair to anyone who felt it.
“Opal, get out of the way!” Billy’s voice turned serious. Then, with both hands raised, he looked up at the sky and urged his Chi energy while speaking loudly.
“As the young master of Ether Mountain, here in the Polar Domain, I humbly request the heavens to bestow the nation’s Destiny on me to defend against foreign enemies!”
“Rust, he’s trying to borrow the power of the nation’s Destiny, stop him!” Miller shouted in no time.
“He doesn’t have a chance!” The red-haired elder naturally understood Billy’s intentions. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and released a powerful aura that surged towards Billy.
“If you touched the young master, you die!”
At this critical moment, the voice of an old man echoed through the void. Immediately after, a hurricane carrying devastating energy swept towards the red-haired elder. Meanwhile, Billy and Opal both looked up at the sky, only to see three figures flying through the air from outside the city gates.
