“Hmm?!” The old man on the other side didn’t expect Casey to unleash such a powerful blade technique. His pores opened wide, and a sense of death surged from his feet to his head.
He knew that he couldn’t withstand this attack!
He intended to dodge, but under the swirling curtain of blades, all his escape routes were sealed off. If he tried to flee, he would only meet a more miserable end.
With no other choice, he could only go on the offensive, using his remaining strength to raise his hand and meet the attack.
There was no suspense. Casey’s blade tore through his defense and struck him down.
“…”
The old man opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word. His body split in two, collapsing to the ground in a bloody mess.
“Casey, watch out!” Just then, Harleen, who was engaged in a fierce battle not far away, shouted.
At the sound of her voice, she swiftly evaded an attack from her opponent, then turned and rushed towards Casey’s position.
As Harleen shouted, Casey sensed a terrifying sense of danger sweeping towards him. His pupils involuntarily contracted. Without time to think, he quickly flipped his wrist and unleashed a curved blade energy in a swift motion.
Meanwhile, Harleen had already rushed dozens of meters away, wielding her ancient sword and performing the Ether Mountain Sword Art to meet the attack.
Boom!
In the next moment, a powerful wave of energy crashed forward, resembling a hurricane. Instantly, both of them were sent flying, leaving behind two arcs of blood in the air.
After flying five or six hundred meters, they crashed to the ground one after another. Their breaths were in disarray, and blood continuously spewed from their mouths.
It was all thanks to Harleen blocking a portion of the attack for Casey. Otherwise, the consequences would have been severe for him.
“Ms Knight, Casey!” Upon seeing the situation, Judge and the others exclaimed in unison.
They wanted to come over and help, but they were entangled by their opponents and couldn’t break free.
“Ms Knight, are you okay?”
After a while, Casey climbed up from the ground, his face filled with concern as he looked towards Harleen.
“I’m fine, Casey.” Harleen wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up.
“Not bad, being able to stand up and fight again. You two have surprised me!” At this moment, a man descended about a hundred meters away from them, a Saint at the sixth rank.
“A Saint at the sixth rank, how dare you launch a sneak attack? You really bring shame to Mysthaven City!” Harleen scanned him coldly.
“My goal is to kill, does the means really matter?” The man responded with a cold laugh.
“You two can settle it yourselves, or should I lend you a hand? If you choose to take your own lives, perhaps I’ll leave you with intact corpses!”
“Ms Knight, you go first, I’ll hold him off for a while!” After taking a deep breath, Casey spoke up.
“Casey, we’ll delay him together. Sol should be here soon!” Harleen wouldn’t just leave like that.
“We’re both injured now…” Casey began to speak again.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Harleen had already rushed forward.
“It seems like you don’t plan on resolving it yourselves!” The man’s eyes narrowed slightly. “In that case, let me help you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura instantly soared. Without further ado, he raised his hand and attacked Harleen.
“Thousand Shadow Clone Technique!” Just then, Harleen exclaimed, activating another ace up her sleeve.
In the next moment, four identical figures flashed out from her, along with her true self, launching an attack on the opponent.
The identical forms and techniques, real and illusory, were indistinguishable.
Thousand Shadow Clone Technique was one of her most powerful tricks, and she never slackened in her practice. Since breaking through to the Saint realm, her Thousand Shadow Clone Technique had reached perfection. Before reaching perfection, the four illusory figures served only as a diversion, meant to confuse the opponent and create opportunities for the true self. But once perfected, it was different.
Once unleashed, it was as if five Harleens were attacking simultaneously, with each illusory figure possessing the same attacking power as the true self, greatly increasing the overall strength.
“Hmm?” The opponent didn’t expect Harleen to have such a move and was momentarily stunned.
However, being three levels higher than Harleen, he didn’t hesitate for too long. Forming a defensive aura, he launched an attack towards one of the illusory figures.
The powerful palm strike hit the illusory figure without any hindrance, causing it to vanish instantly. Meanwhile, Harleen’s true self and the other three illusory figures launched their sword attacks on his defensive aura, resulting in a loud clash.
Although they couldn’t break through his defense due to the vast difference in strength, the powerful impact still made him uncomfortable, almost causing him to spew out blood. And it wasn’t over yet. Just as he was about to counterattack, the remaining four illusory figures attacked again, their sword energy crackling like thunder and lightning.
“Get out of the way!” The man roared in anger, unleashing dozens of fierce gusts of wind in all directions.
Bang!
Two of the illusory figures exploded consecutively, while Harleen’s true self suffered backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, this time, her true self and one of the illusory figures had already broken through his defensive aura, leaving two deep wounds on his body.
“You can die now!” The man glanced at his wounds and unleashed a ferocious palm strike towards Harleen.
“Bold words!” Just then, Casey arrived next to Harleen, channeling his full power and unleashing the Domineering Blade Art.
Boom!
The attacks from both sides collided once again.
After a loud bang, Casey was sent flying hundreds of meters away, and the man also retreated a couple hundred meters, with traces of blood appearing at the corners of his mouth.
“You two brats actually wounded me. I’ll send you both to hell!” The man, consumed by anger, launched another attack.
In his enraged state, he was going all out, clearly not intending to spare their lives.
“Ms Knight, you go quickly!” Casey shouted loudly after getting up. He knew very well that, given their current condition, he and Harleen couldn’t withstand the man’s onslaught.
“let’s fight him together!” Harleen couldn’t leave on her own.
After speaking, a resolute look flashed in her eyes as she raised her hand to launch an attack.
Just then, a palm strike filled with an overwhelming aura of death whistled past Casey and Harleen, causing a violent gust of wind to sweep through the air.
“Hmm?!” The man sensed a deadly aura and quickly dodged to the side.
Boom!
However, he was already too slow.
Immediately after, the man was lifted into the air and flew a kilometer before crashing heavily to the ground. After several somersaults, he lay on the ground like a dead dog, with shattered bones and severed meridians, barely clinging to life, his face filled with despair.
“Lady Dragon, are you two alright?”
Then, the voice of an old man resonated in Harleen and Casey’s ears.
