“Who goes there?” at the entrance of the military camp, a group of people spotted Billy in mid-air and shouted out loud.
However, Billy completely ignored them and swiftly headed towards the direction of the Prison.
“You’re looking for death!”
The two half-step Divine Realm guards at the gate naturally sensed the anomaly immediately and each wielded their large knives to pursue Billy through the air.
Whoosh!
Both of them attacked simultaneously, sending sharp blade energy towards Billy.
“Get lost!”
Without even looking back, Billy swung his blade in a backhand motion.
“Huh?”
The two men behind him immediately sensed a wave of deathly aura, causing their pupils to shrink in alarm.
Without much thought, they hurriedly dodged to the side.
One of them was a beat too slow and the blade energy grazed past his shoulder, resulting in his arm flying off his body and blood gushing out.
The man collapsed to the ground with a muffled sound.
“Quickly inform Mr Morrison, someone is trying to break into the prison!” the other man shouted loudly towards the ground.
From the power displayed in Billy’s previous strike, he could tell that the newcomer’s strength far surpassed his own, making him no match at all.
Just as he finished speaking, thirty to forty Late Saint Realm experts leaped into the air from different directions in the courtyard, swiftly converging on Billy.
“If you don’t want to die, get out of the way now!” Billy spoke in a deep voice.
“No matter who you are, today, you won’t leave here alive!” one of them roared, “Everyone attack, show no mercy!”
Crash!
Thirty to forty people simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks towards Billy.
“You’re clueless!” Billy’s eyes narrowed as an invisible ripple emanated from his forehead.
“Ah…”
The next moment, the surrounding crowd screamed in unison before collapsing to the ground.
Over ten people lay twitching on the ground before falling silent.
The rest were in no better condition, their expressions contorted in pain, hands clutching their heads as they rolled on the ground.
With Billy’s current cultivation level, even without activating his bloodline power, his spiritual power level was close to that of a Fourth-rank Divine Realm.
Therefore, under his full display of power, these Saint Realm experts stood no chance of resisting.
Whoosh!
At that moment, two sharp blade energies surged towards Billy like lightning, from the two Divine Realms guarding the Prison.
Both of them went all out, their extremely sharp blade energies sealing off all of Billy’s escape routes.
Of course, Billy had no intention of dodging.
At this moment, time was of the essence for him; he had to rescue the person before Jared Byrne arrived.
Otherwise, even if he could escape unscathed, the person he intended to save would not make it.
The next moment, an arcing blade energy, imbued with the force of thunder, sliced past one of the guards.
Although the guard sensed the danger, he couldn’t dodge in time; after the blade energy passed, his body split in two and fell from the sky, a mess of blood and flesh.
“You’re dead meat!”
At that moment, an old man’s angry roar resounded, the third-rank Divine Realm powerhouse.
As his voice faded, a beast, materialized from spiritual power, charged towards Billy like a small mountain.
Wherever it passed, a hurricane stirred in the empty space, creating a terrifying momentum.
Simultaneously, the other guard, a first-rank Divine Realm, and the half-step Divine Realm guard also rushed over, unleashing their most powerful attacks.
Facing the combined assault of the three, Billy remained unyielding.
Brandishing the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, he sent out a dozen blade energies into the air, converging into the Domineering Blade Art towards the third-rank Divine Realm expert in the center.
Boom!
A loud bang echoed out, and the third-rank Divine Realm expert was sent flying like a kite with a broken string for a kilometer before crashing heavily to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth; although he still had a breath left, death was imminent.
Meanwhile, the first-rank Divine Realm, and the half-step Divine Realm guards were also sent flying after spewing a mouthful of blood due to the powerful impact of the energy waves.
However, because Billy’s target was the third-rank Divine Realm warrior, the injuries they sustained were not fatal.
“If you don’t want to die, get lost!” Billy coldly warned the two.
His mission today was to rescue, not to kill, so he refrained from going for the kill.
“Dare to break into the Prison, you’re doomed!”
After exchanging a glance, the two opponents dashed towards the palace’s direction through the air.
Meanwhile, as the three attacked Billy, Opal and Casey had already dashed into the Prison.
This was part of their prearranged plan: Billy would handle the Saint Realm experts on the ground, while Opal and Casey would rescue the person inside the prison.
The prison, from the outside, appeared to be an ordinary tower within the military camp.
Unbeknownst to outsiders, even if they searched the entire camp, it would be hard for them to suspect that this inconspicuous tower was the prison of the royal city.
Having already heard Jared Byrne’s description of the Prison, Opal and Casey swiftly entered the tower without hesitation, making their way directly to the innermost staircase.
Strictly speaking, the Prison should be called an underground dungeon.
The tower on the surface merely served as a facade, with the actual detainment of prisoners taking place underground.
The prison consisted of eight levels, labeled from minus one to minus seven, with each level housing forty to fifty cells, the more important prisoners held on deeper levels.
The bottommost level only contained one cell, typically reserved for exceptionally dangerous criminals.
Danica Byrne’s parents clearly fell into this category!
“Who goes there?” As Opal and Casey rushed out, fifty armored soldiers charged towards them.
“Back off!” Opal shouted, unleashing a palm strike.
Bang!
After the strike, all fifty soldiers were sent flying, collapsing to the ground and motionless.
Following that, the two swiftly reached the staircase, where Casey shattered a heavy iron door with a single palm strike.
“Dare to trespass into the Prison, you die!”
As the two emerged from the staircase on the negative first floor, they heard an elderly man’s voice.
Simultaneously, a wave of energy swept down the corridor, indicating the presence of a fifth-rank Saint Realm cultivator.
Without a word, Casey flicked his wrist, sending a blade energy slicing towards the man in the corridor.
Thud!
With a heavy impact, the elderly man tumbled to the ground nearby, blood pooling around him.
“Attack!” At the same time, a shout rang out as twenty-plus armored soldiers rushed out from the corridor.
However, for someone of Casey’s level, these soldiers were no different from ants.
After a few blade attacks, all of them fell to the ground like the elderly man.
Boom!
Simultaneously, Opal shattered the iron door leading to the negative second floor.
