Casey is currently at the eighth-rank Saint realm, and with the Celestial Blade in hand, his combat power can be increased by one rank.
Therefore, dealing with opponents at the ninth-rank Saint realm is an easy task.
Without much suspense, after the blade energy passed, the giant beast formed by true energy was instantly shattered, and the blade energy did not diminish, continuing to penetrate into the old man’s heart.
The old man lowered his head and looked, his face showing endless disbelief.
Then, he fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.
After glancing at the opponent’s corpse, Casey rushed towards the battle circle of the others.
“Elder Jasiah!” Seeing this scene, an elder who was battling with Harleen couldn’t help but mourn.
“You go to Hell with him!” Harleen replied.
“You damn bastards!” The elder roared, raising his hand and sending out a mysterious array of seals towards Harleen.
“The damned one is you!” Harleen said in a deep voice, as she flicked her wrist and a supremely sharp sword intent pierced through the opponent’s attack effortlessly, piercing through his heart.
After a slight pause in the elder’s figure, he fell to the ground and then lay motionless, out of breath.
At the same time, a deafening sound rang out in the air several kilometers away, and Billy and Jasiah Ochoa separated by two to three hundred meters stopped.
From the aura emanating from both of them, it could be seen that in the exchanges just now, the two of them were evenly matched.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to challenge me beyond ranks. I underestimated you, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant.” Jasiah Ochoa steadied himself slightly and looked at Billy, opening his mouth.
“However, if this is all the strength you have, then you may find it difficult to survive today!”
“Is that so?” Billy smiled faintly and continued, “I’ll give you a chance!”
“If you surrender and take us to your Star Moon Sect to exchange for people, I’ll spare you today, how about it?”
“Hehe, are you joking?” Jasiah Ochoa ignored it and glanced at Billy before turning the tables and saying, “Alright, I won’t waste time with you. If you want death, so be it!”
As the words fell, his eyes narrowed, and a spiritual power manifested large blade appeared in mid-air, surrounded by thunder.
In the next moment, the large blade drew several icy lights in the air, stirring up a whirlwind, then slashing down towards Billy like a bolt of lightning.
A disdainful expression appeared on the old man’s face at the same time, as he never really took Billy seriously.
This strike was his trump card, in his opinion, after this strike, Billy would meet the King of Hell.
However, his expression stiffened shortly after, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes simultaneously.
The blood-red arc of the blade easily tore through his attack, directly slashed through his arm, which then fell to the ground, blood spraying like a fountain.
“H-How… is this possible?”
After landing, Jasiah Ochoa murmured in horror, with a face full of shock.
To think that he had his arm cut off by a half-step Divine Realm youngster? This was simply unbelievable!
What shocked him even more was that he could clearly sense that Billy had shown mercy in that strike just now.
Otherwise, he would probably have lost his life by now!
“How about it, do you have anything else to say?” Billy landed not far from the opponent and spoke lightly.
While speaking, he turned his head to look at the battle circle where Casey and his group were.
Most of the mid-late-stage Saint warriors among the opponents, numbering about ten or so, had basically all been defeated.
As for the more than a thousand followers, nearly a third had fallen, and the remaining ones probably wouldn’t last much longer.
“Release them, and I’ll be your hostage!” Jasiah Ochoa, after stopping the bleeding, took a deep breath and spoke.
He knew very well that the reason Billy didn’t kill him was obviously to keep him as a hostage.
“Your life can be spared, but your cultivation cannot!” Billy replied before raising his voice towards the direction of the inn.
“People of the Star Moon Sect, listen up, those who voluntarily relinquish their cultivation can live, otherwise, dead!”
“Leave some room for possible reconciliation in the future. Don’t take things to the extreme, or else…” Jasiah Ochoa’s face turned iron-blue.
“I’m sorry, but you’re not qualified to threaten me!” Billy interrupted firmly.
As the words rang out, Billy sent a palm strike, and immediately, Jasiah Ochoa was sent flying out like a kite with a broken string.
After flying out a distance of five to six hundred meters and crashing to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
Afterwards, Billy carried Jasiah Ochoa and walked towards the inn.
The remaining people on the opposing side, seeing Jasiah Ochoa in such a state, naturally had no more thoughts of resistance.
Many of them threw down their weapons and scattered in all directions to flee. However, before they could run a few steps, they were blasted into bloody mist.
Seeing this scene, the others no longer harbored any hopes of surviving and gave up their cultivation, fleeing in disarray.
“Boss, when shall we go to the Star Moon Sect? Should we go now?” When everyone returned to the first floor of the inn, White Tiger looked at Billy and asked.
“No rush! Everyone, rest for the night, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning!” Billy responded.
“Understood!” Casey and his group nodded in agreement.
That night, even the people from the City Lord’s Mansion did not come to disturb them again.
In a city like Urghgow, the strongest among the City Lord’s Mansion probably only had the cultivation of a mid-late-stage Saint. After the battle earlier, they naturally dared not send anyone else to their deaths.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone, including Nolan Ochoa and Jasiah Ochoa, headed towards the direction of the Star Moon Sect in the sky.
Nolan Ochoa only found out about what happened last night after waking up this morning and seeing Jasiah Ochoa. After a brief exchange, the two remained silent.
Jasiah Ochoa learned of Billy’s true strength from his nephew, which stirred up waves of shock in his heart.
He couldn’t believe that Nolan Ochoa had really been beaten by Billy.
What’s more, Nolan Ochoa was still unaware that Billy had broken through to the half-step Divine Realm and believed him to still be at the ninth-rank Saint realm.
Star Moon Sect was a hundred kilometers away from Urghgow, taking about fifteen minutes, and the group landed at the foot of a mountain.
More than a kilometer away from everyone, there was a huge mansion, which was the location of the Star Moon Sect’s headquarters.
“Tsk tsk, this sect’s courtyard is really not small!” Soul Chaser couldn’t help but comment.
“Who are you all? This is the Star Moon Sect, unrelated people are not allowed to approach…”
As the group approached to within a hundred meters of the mansion gate, a person walked out of the gatehouse and shouted loudly, but then recognized Jasiah Ochoa and Nolan Ochoa.
“Elder Jasiah and Master Nolan?”
