Before his words could even finish, a crisp sound came from the nearby barrier.
Reit instinctively turned his head to look.
There, he saw Sol Stuart and Casey working together with the people inside the barrier, causing the crack to expand once again.
“Dead to me!” Reit didn’t care about Billy anymore. He turned around and dashed towards Sol Stuart and the others.
“Aren’t you seeking revenge for your grandson?” Billy’s voice once again reached his ears. “Come on, I’ll give you a chance!”
As Billy spoke, he took out a Chi Condensing Pill and threw it into his mouth, then stored the Bloodshadow Fury Blade at his waist. He then continuously manipulated his hands, activating the Earth Technique from the Five Elements Secret Art. Soon, all the ice and rocks within a radius of two or three kilometers floated into the air. Then, like rain, they shot towards Reit with lightning speed.
“You want to die that badly? I’ll send you down immediately!” Reit bellowed, raising his hand to send out several gusts of wind that shattered all the ice and rocks in front of him.
However, there were simply too many ice and rocks, and for a while, he couldn’t free himself from them.
Boom!
Just then, a loud noise came from not too far away. Under the joint attack of Sol Stuart and the others, the barrier collapsed with a bang.
The crowd quickly dispersed and ran away, without even sparing a word of thanks to Sol Stuart and the others, fleeing in all directions in panic. In the blink of an eye, only seventy to eighty people remained at the scene; most of them were Glavalean people.
“Damn it!” Reit roared in anger, his fury reaching the sky.
His anger was understandable. He had put so much effort into luring people here, and success was within reach, but it all fell apart in an instant!
Boom!
Immediately after, an overwhelming momentum exploded from Reit’s raging body, turning all the remaining ice and rocks in the surrounding area into powder.
“Since you let them go, then you can die for them!” After shouting, Reit turned around and charged towards Sol Stuart and the others.
“Everyone, attack together and stop him!” At this moment, an old Eighth-rank Saint among the remaining crowd shouted loudly.
“Let’s go all out!” the others responded simultaneously.
Sol Stuart, Casey, and the others each activated their strongest moves to attack Reit.
For a while, powerful auras soared into the sky, turning the surrounding space into a vacuum, making it hard to breathe. The combined attacks from over a hundred people all struck Reit, causing a surge of energy waves and an unstoppable momentum.
“A bunch of ants!” Reit’s eyes narrowed, and an invisible ripple emanated from his forehead.
Then, hundreds of three-foot-long great swords appeared floating around him, exuding a strong chilling aura.
That was materialization of his spiritual power!
“You’re no match for him. Don’t make futile sacrifices. Stand aside!” Billy’s voice came through. While shouting, he unleashed his own spiritual power, sweeping towards Reit.
“Everyone, lie down!” Following Reit’s voice, the hundred great swords shot towards Sol Stuart and the others at lightning speed.
Since Reit had activated his spiritual power, the people in the surrounding area had already sensed the danger. Many of them wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
The hundred great swords cleaved through the crowd effortlessly, as if cutting through an empty space. The attacks of the people around were torn apart, and they were sent flying like kites with severed strings. Dozens of blood streaks appeared in the air, leaving behind a scene of chaos.
Among them, more than ten individuals with cultivation below mid-level Sovereign were lying on the ground, their legs twitching as they gasped for breath. Others, though they managed to escape with their lives, suffered varying degrees of injuries, including Casey and Harleen.
On the other hand, the several Seventh-rank Saints and above managed to stabilize themselves after gliding for a hundred meters. They sustained minimal injuries.
This outcome was undoubtedly due to Billy’s interference with Reit’s attack at the critical moment. Otherwise, the consequences would have been much more severe!
“Mr Stuart, you all should leave now!” Billy shouted once again.
With that, he swung the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, releasing countless arcs of blade energy towards Reit.
“Take care of yourself, young master!” Sol Stuart took a deep breath and didn’t hesitate any longer. He knew that they would be of no help even if they stayed behind.
As soon as his voice fell, Sol Stuart led Casey, Harleen, and the others as they flew away along the same path they came.
Though Harleen and the others didn’t want to leave, they knew that staying would only burden Billy, so they didn’t insist.
“Thank you for saving our lives, young man!” The elderly Eighth-rank Saint shouted towards Billy’s direction, leading the remaining dozens of people to retreat to the side.
“If you’re so fond of playing the hero, I’ll grant your wish!” Reit didn’t pursue them any further. After blocking Billy’s attack with his hand, he walked towards him step by step.
“The mistakes you made today will be repaid by the people of Skydragon City tenfold!”
“When I take down Skydragon City, the first thing I’ll do is strip your mother of her cultivation!”
“Fool!” Billy retorted, “You think you can conquer Skydragon City with the power of Mysthaven City? You’re dreaming!”
“Do you think that Skydragon City is safe just because your mother has reached the Ninth-rank Saint level?” Reed didn’t rush to take action either.
For him, this mission had already completely failed, and his desire to break through to Divine realm could only be pinned on the people of Skydragon City. He could ignore the others, however, he was determined to kill Billy today!
“You really are an idiot!” Billy once again pulled out a Chi Condensing Pill from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth.
“The strongest people in Mysthaven City right now should only be a few Seventh-rank Saints, right? Tell me, can my mother alone wipe out the entire Mysthaven City?”
“Huh?!” Upon hearing Billy’s words, Reit’s pupils constricted in alarm, “What do you mean?”
“I call you an idiot, and you still don’t admit it!” Billy sneered again.
“Stephanie’s gone to Mysthaven City?” Reit angrily spoke up, understanding Billy’s meaning.
“You can come here, why can’t my mother go there?” Billy shrugged his shoulders, “Just don’t know if you can make it back in time!”
Billy wasn’t bluffing his opponent with this matter. As early as when he suspected that Mysthaven City might be behind this incident, he had sent a message to his mother.
Upon receiving the message, Stephanie didn’t hesitate at all and led Howard Sutherland and four others to rush to Mysthaven City. Originally, she had planned to come to the scene for rescue, but after thinking it over, she dismissed the idea. She was well aware of her own strength, and facing Reit head-on, she didn’t have much chance of winning. Therefore, the best way to resolve this crisis was what was happening.
And the reason Billy didn’t mention this to Reit from the beginning was obviously for the safety of everyone. If he had mentioned this earlier, he couldn’t guarantee what Reit would do in his rage. After all, with Reit’s skills, he could easily take the lives of Casey, Harleen, and the others with a wave of his hand. Therefore, he had to ensure everyone’s safety before revealing this matter.
“You damn bastards!”
Upon hearing Billy’s words, Reit had no more doubts. With an angry shout, he flew into the sky.
