“Hmm…”
The crooked-nose old man struggled to look at the situation inside the barrier, his mouth gaping open, but no words came out. His head tilted to the side, motionless.
At the same time, Billy cleaved the other Seventh-rank Saint in half with one swift strike, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
“Mr Stuart, please go help Casey and the others!” Billy then turned to Sol Stuart and gave him the order.
“Alright!” Sol Stuart responded before turning around and quickly moving towards the back.
Following that, Billy gripped the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, activating his bloodline power and condensing it into the Domineering Blade Art, which he then unleashed upon the barrier.
Boom!
The thunderous blade momentum struck the barrier, creating a deafening sound that reverberated across the sky. The resulting shock-wave was like a heavy explosive, lifting the endless ice into the air, blotting out the sky. If Judge and the others hadn’t retreated, they would have been affected to some extent.
After the loud noise subsided, Billy was pushed back more than twenty steps by the recoil, leaving deep footprints in his wake, while his blood surged within him.
As for the barrier, it trembled significantly under the impact of the Domineering Blade Art, much more than the commotion caused by the people inside earlier.
Billy, with his bloodline power activated, exerted the full force of the Domineering Blade Art; his power was already stronger than that of an Eighth-rank Saint warrior.
Apart from the tremors, the barrier did not suffer any actual damage.
After a brief pause, Billy struck again with his blade. This time, the frequency of the barrier’s tremors was elevated compared to before.
Within the barrier, the ice and snow on the mountains on both sides of the valley fell down in large quantities, resembling a small avalanche.
When Billy unleashed his third strike with his full power, a faint crack finally appeared on the barrier.
“The barrier is cracking! We’re saved!” Seeing this scene, someone inside the barrier shouted excitedly.
But before the words could even be fully uttered, they were turned into a mist of blood by Reit’s palm strike.
“Stay put, or else he’ll be your example!” Reit threatened, pointing at the bloody mist.
After that, he appeared outside the barrier.
“With only the cultivation of a Sixth-rank Saint, you shook my barrier. You really surprised me!” Reit said with a hint of astonishment in his eyes as he walked towards Billy, who was a hundred meters away.
While speaking, his gaze flashed with a trace of curiosity.
Indeed, he only sensed the aura of a Sixth-rank Saint warrior from Billy, but the fact that he posed a threat to his barrier made him take notice.
After all, even a Ninth-rank Saint powerhouse would find it difficult to achieve this!
Then, he glanced briefly at the crooked-nose old man, but his expression remained unchanged. After a slight pause, Reit continued speaking, “You should be from Skydragon City, right?”
“How did you know?” Billy replied nonchalantly.
“Among the Glavaleans in the Polar Domain, besides the people from the City of Angels, only Skydragon City has young talents like you!” Reit spoke again.
“And people from the City of Angels don’t usually meddle in other people’s affairs like you guys do!”
“Is that so?” Billy responded with just two words.
“Since you’re from Skydragon City, then you must be the so-called King of the West, Commander Gardner from Glavale?” Reit narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Billy.
“And also the long-lost son of Chester Stuart and Stephanie Stuart?”
“Correct!” Billy shrugged in response.
“Asher was killed in Demonrealm City, it must be related to you, right?” Reit spoke again.
“I killed him!” Billy spoke up once more. “By the way, just half an hour ago, the vice lord of your Mysthaven City, Hudson, went to hell to join your grandson!”
Reit’s pupils slightly contracted. “You killed Hudson?”
“Don’t believe me?” Billy responded. “Try calling him and find out!”
“Aren’t you afraid of death?” A glint of coldness flashed in Reit’s eyes. He did not doubt Billy’s words. With the power Billy had just displayed, it was entirely possible for him to slay Hudson!
“Over a year ago, you injured my mother, and she has suffered torment ever since!” Billy ignored his words. “If given the chance, I will make you taste that kind of suffering!”
“Huh?” Reit’s gaze focused. “Do you think you have a chance to leave here alive today?”
“What do you think?” Billy narrowed his eyes and coldly responded.
Reit laughed heartily.
“Your courage is similar to your father’s, but, at most, you can be considered a reckless fool without a plan! Don’t even mention you, even if your mother were in front of me, she wouldn’t dare to speak so audaciously!”
As his words fell, a terrifying and boundless pressure erupted from him, making it hard to breathe.
“Enough, no more idle talk. I’ll send you to hell!”
With that said, he flicked his wrist, and a torrential wave of energy surged forth, causing a gale wherever it passed.
“If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the strength!” Billy took a deep breath and raised his hand, summoning a curved blade aura.
Bang!
A loud noise rang out, and Billy was immediately sent flying like a cannonball.
He crashed down three to four hundred meters away, flipping a few somersaults, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.
“Billy!”
“Boss!”
“…”
At this moment, Casey and the others, led by Sol Stuart, had already killed the opposing group of twenty to thirty people. Upon seeing Billy’s condition, they quickly ran over.
“Don’t come over, I’m fine!” Billy got up from the ground.
“Show your trump card, or else you won’t have a chance!” Reit spoke while turning his head to look at the direction of the barrier.
Inside the barrier, some high-level martial artists had gathered once again, joining forces to attack the crack that Billy had created earlier. Under their combined assault, the crack grew larger and would likely succeed in a short time.
“A bunch of ants!” Seeing this scene, Reit turned to rush towards the barrier.
For him, avenging his grandson was important, but breaking the mirror was even more crucial. After all the effort he took to lure these people here, he didn’t want to fail. Moreover, as long as he broke through to Divine realm, revenge would be within easy reach.
“Face my strike!” Just as he turned around, Billy activated his full power, condensing it into the Domineering Blade Art.
Whoosh!
A blood-red blade, like lightning in the sky, slashed down towards Reit, turning half of the sky red.
“Get lost!” Reit furrowed his brow. Then, he continued to rotate his wrist, creating a huge and mysterious seal in the air, colliding with Billy’s blade.
Boom!
Their attacks clashed once more, resulting in a resounding thunderous boom.
Billy spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back a kilometer away, his aura in a chaotic state. On the other hand, Reit, despite being in the Half-Step Divine realm, also didn’t come away unscathed from taking Billy’s strike. Under the impact of the powerful shock-wave, he was pushed back over ten steps, causing the ice beneath his feet to crack.
He never expected that Billy would be able to force him back such a distance, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. In his heart, he made a decision – today, he must kill Billy! Otherwise, if he allowed this opponent to continue growing, it wouldn’t be long before he became a major threat!
“I underestimated you!” After pausing briefly, Reit spoke. “However, let’s end it here!”
