Billy and Sincere Mercado’s attacks collided, pushing each other back by two to three hundred meters.
“Hmm?!”
After steadying his figure, Sincere Mercado’s face revealed a trace of shock. It was only at this moment that he truly took notice of Billy.
How could this kid, who he had completely ignored, force him back so far?!
Not only him, even Uriel Gentry and the others below wore expressions of astonishment.
At this moment, he had a faint feeling that Stout’s words from earlier weren’t just nonsense!
On the side, Johan Byrne’s face held a look of disbelief. He immediately regretted his earlier boasting about crippling the other party, feeling a sense of apprehension.
He never thought that Billy would be this strong!
“Who are you?” Sincere Mercado, after steadying his emotions, looked toward Billy and asked.
“I’ll give you a chance to leave immediately, and I’ll spare your life,” Billy calmly replied.
“Arrogant!” Sincere Mercado coldly retorted. “Do you know who we are?”
“Who you are has nothing to do with me,” Billy continued. “But the princess you mentioned is my patient. Until she has recovered, no one can take her away.”
“Ignorant fool!” Sincere Mercado spoke in a low voice. “You have no idea what trouble you’ve brought upon yourself.”
“I’ll give you one minute. Disappear in front of me immediately, or I will make you wish you were dead,” Sincere Mercado uttered in a cold tone.
“If you don’t need the chance I’m giving, then it’s up to you,” Billy responded once more.
“I can see that you’re seeking death!” Sincere Mercado’s aura surged rapidly, enveloping the entire space in an instant.
Immediately after, he twisted his gaze, and a spiritual power manifestation of a large blade appeared above his head.
The blade was over ten meters long, exuding a dense aura of death.
In the next moment, the large blade left countless afterimages in the air, causing a violent wind to rage as the blade’s momentum ran rampant.
“Die!” With a furious roar, the substantial blade, brimming with thundering force, slashed towards Billy.
“Mr Billy, be careful!” Uriel Gentry couldn’t help but shout as he witnessed the overwhelming momentum in the air.
“Mr Gentry, rest assured, this little rascal, my Boss will kill him with just a single blade,” Stout nonchalantly remarked.
Knowing his Boss well, just half a month ago when he was still at the half-step Divine Realm, he had already slayed a fourth-rank Divine Realm.
Not to mention that he had now broken through to the true Divine Realm, dealing with a third-rank Divine Realm expert would be a walk in the park.
“…!” Upon hearing his words, Uriel Gentry and Johan Byrne’s jaws twitched once again.
Meanwhile, in the air, Billy narrowed his eyes slightly, flipped his wrist, and executed the Domineering Blade Art.
Subsequently, a blood-red blade aura tore through the air and descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning.
After a loud noise, Sincere Mercado’s giant blade burst apart, instantly dissipating into nothingness. However, the blood-red blade aura continued its trajectory, striking down on the ground and leaving a chilling chasm behind.
“…!” Sincere Mercado looked at Billy, his mouth opening but unable to produce a sound.
The next moment, his body split in two as it fell lifelessly from the sky, flesh and blood mangled.
Witnessing this scene, both Uriel Gentry and Johan Byrne’s jaws dropped simultaneously, freezing in shock.
“How about that? I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Stout shrugged with a smug expression.
“Such a talent! An absolute talent!” Uriel Gentry exclaimed in astonishment after being dumbfounded for a while.
“Mr Mercado!” At the same time, the blue-robed old man who was dueling with Rayan Byrne cried out in pain.
Following that, he glared fiercely at Billy and shouted, “Kid, you dared to kill Mr Mercado, you’re doomed! Everyone around you will be buried with Mr Mercado!”
With that, he no longer lingered with Rayan Byrne and swiftly fled into the air.
He was well aware that if he didn’t escape now, he would soon be killed as well.
“Trying to escape? Can you?” After a slight pause, Rayan Byrne immediately chased after.
Ripples of shock surged within him. Just like Uriel Gentry, he never expected that Billy could slay Sincere Mercado with a single strike!
That was a genuine third-rank Divine Realm powerhouse! He couldn’t withstand a single blow from Billy!
Billy’s strength was terrifying!
“Let me handle this!” Billy’s voice resonated in Rayan Byrne’s ears.
As the words fell, he chased after that guy who fled.
Since he had already made a move, he naturally wouldn’t allow the other party to escape.
As expected, in the span of a few breaths, he closed the gap to four to five hundred meters behind the blue-robed old man.
Subsequently, he casually raised his blade, releasing a crescent-shaped blade aura to assault the enemy.
Being only a second-rank Divine Realm, the blue-robed old man naturally couldn’t withstand this strike.
After the blade aura, the blue-robed old man plunged from the air, his life extinguished with a single kick upon landing.
Soon after, Billy landed steadily in the courtyard.
“I never expected Mr Billy to be not only exceptional in medicine, but also formidable in martial arts!” Rayan Byrne and his group hurried over.
Subsequently, they bowed deeply towards Billy. “Many thanks for your assistance, Mr Billy. We will never forget this favor.”
“Just a small gesture, no need for formalities,” Billy waved his hand.
“We had some prior misunderstandings. Please forgive us,” Uriel Gentry also bowed and spoke.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that for today!” After casting a glance at Uriel Gentry, Billy turned to Rayan Byrne and Uriel Gentry. “Since the other party comes from the royal city, they certainly won’t let it go easily. You should make preparations in advance.”
“Wait a moment, Mr Billy. I have some thousand-year-old spirit fruits at my residence. Consider it a small token of my appreciation. Please…” Uriel Gentry continued.
“No need,” Billy once again waved his hand. “Hurry and attend to your matters.”
“Do you have any plans for what’s next, Mr Billy?” Jared Byrne asked. “You killed Sincere Mercado today, and I’m concerned…”
“It’s fine,” Billy responded, “I will stay in this city for a few days. If anything comes up, find me at the inn.”
After speaking, he turned and walked toward the entrance of the estate.
“Don’t forget our bet, Your Royal Highness,” Stout said to Johan Byrne as he followed Billy.
Half an hour later, Billy and his group returned to the inn.
“Boss!” Upon seeing them, Casey and his group who had just returned to the inn greeted them all at once.
“Honey, you’re back? We were just about to look for you!” Harleen continued.
“There was quite a commotion at the city lord’s mansion just now. Did something happen?” Bob asked.
“There was indeed a bit of trouble!” Billy smiled and had Stout describe the earlier events to everyone.
“There’s something like this too?” After hearing Stout’s account, Bob’s mouth twitched.
The expressions of Azure Dragon, Judge, and the others were equally colorful.
They had only been in this world for less than twenty days, and yet they had already stirred up trouble with two of the kingdom’s royal cities in succession. Trouble seemed to follow them everywhere!
“Boss, what are your plans for the next steps?” Casey asked Billy.
