“Who are you?” Three men asked as they approached Billy about a hundred meters away, with Jared Byrne’s deputy general speaking angrily behind him.
“You arrived pretty fast!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“King, his companion has gone to the dungeon!” someone below shouted loudly.
“Elder Sergio, go and check it out!” Jared Byrne turned to the third-rank Divine Realm expert and spoke in a deep voice.
“Yes, sir!” Elder Sergio replied before descending towards the direction of the dungeon.
“Without my consent, you can’t go anywhere!” Billy’s tone turned cold as he brandished the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, slashing towards the opponent.
At this moment, he had already activated his bloodline power, and his cultivation had reached the second-rank Divine Realm.
“Are you seeking death!” The lieutenant squinted his eyes and sent a powerful palm wind towards Billy.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out as both individuals retreated two to three hundred meters apart.
At the same time, Elder Sergio had already arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to rush into the tower, a strong palm wind swept out from the tower.
The one taking action was Opal, who had just arrived at the door.
As Elder Sergio had no defenses up, he was directly knocked back.
However, being at third-rank Divine Realm, after being flung three to four hundred meters away, he landed steadily on the ground.
Following that, Opal and Casey, along with Rhett Byrne, arrived by Billy’s side.
“Boss, there’s a barrier below the dungeon, so it took some time!” Casey spoke.
As he spoke, he glanced at Jared Byrne and the others, his face showing even more seriousness.
Indeed, they were too late!
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
“Ki… King?” At this moment, Elder Sergio looked towards Rhett Byrne, who was being supported by Casey.
Although Rhett Byrne was currently disabled, his remaining prestige instilled a subconscious fear in Elder Sergio.
“Sergio, you really impressed me.” Rhett Byrne glanced at the other person with a cold tone.
His wife had already been freed from the dumb curse by Opal and Casey, finally being able to speak.
With his words spoken, his eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Jared Byrne. “The biggest mistake I’ve made in my life is believing in you, you heartless scoundrel!”
“Never trust anyone easily, that’s what you taught me!” Jared Byrne smiled lightly.
“Today, you better not let me leave here alive. Otherwise, you will know the meaning of regret!” Rhett Byrne gritted his teeth.
Even as he spoke, deep down, he didn’t hold much hope.
He knew very well that now that Jared Byrne had arrived, the chances of escape for him and his companions were close to zero.
Although he couldn’t sense Billy’s martial aura due to his severe injuries, he didn’t believe that a young man under thirty could match up against Jared Byrne, a fifth-rank Divine Realm expert.
At least, after living for so long, he had never heard of such a genius!
“Hehe, do you think these three inexperienced individuals can save you?” Jared Byrne sneered.
After speaking, he turned to Billy and said in a deep voice, “You think you can take action on such a special day like today and succeed? What a delusion!”
“Don’t forget, this is Tengamine Kingdom. In half an hour, I will find you all!”
“Is that so?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Young man, thank you for risking your life to save…” Rhett Byrne’s wife looked at Billy.
“But you are not their match. Don’t worry about us, just go, don’t involve yourselves!” She was well aware of the current situation, knowing that their side had no chance of escaping.
“I promised your daughter to rescue you all!” Billy replied.
“I… Is it Danica who asked you to come?” Jared Byrne’s wife was stunned.
“Yes!” After nodding, Billy turned to Opal. “Opal, take Casey and the others and leave. I’ll hold them off for a while!”
“You can’t handle them alone!” Opal shook her head and turned to Casey. “Casey, take them and go!”
“Opal, you can’t handle them…” Billy started speaking again.
“Casey, go!” Opal interrupted Billy with a loud voice, then sent Rhett Byrne’s wife towards Casey.
With that said, Opal, wielding the Heartless Sword, surged towards Elder Sergio.
“Boss, Opal, take care of yourselves!” Casey didn’t persist further and swiftly flew off towards the outskirts of the royal city, carrying them both.
He was well aware that it was not the time for recklessness, staying behind would only amount to a fearless sacrifice.
“Such ignorance. None of you will leave the royal city alive today!” The lieutenant on the opposite side roared, then chased after Casey.
“You can’t leave!” Billy’s voice echoed at the same time, as a blood-red curved blade swiftly slashed out.
“Get out of my way!” The deputy general didn’t pay attention to Billy’s attack and casually raised his hand to meet it.
He had already probed Billy’s cultivation level and, being only a second-rank saint realm, he naturally didn’t take it seriously.
However, his expression stiffened the next moment.
As Billy’s slash tore through his assault, the force surged towards his chest.
As quick as lightning, it arrived in an instant, causing his pupils to involuntarily shrink in the face of the sudden danger.
“Seeking death!” Jared Byrne’s eyes squinted, sending out a burst of energy that blocked Billy’s attack.
“You don’t need to concern yourself here, go chase that kid!” Jared Byrne then turned to the deputy general and issued a command, unleashing several ferocious blasts of energy towards Billy.
“Yes, sir!” The still shaken deputy general took a deep breath before chasing after Casey once more.
Bang!
Billy’s wrist continued to flip, unleashing a dozen blade glows that clashed with Jared Byrne’s assault, resulting in a fierce impact in the air.
Whoosh!
After a wave of attacks ended, Billy did not pause for a moment and swiftly evaded, his figure quickly moving away.
Simultaneously, with the Bloodshadow Fury Blade in hand, he rapidly drew countless afterimages, instantly condensed into the Celestial Blade Art.
Subsequently, a curtain of blades shimmering with the sun, moon, and stars tore through the air and descended from the sky towards the deputy general’s back.
“Dakota, dodge quickly!” Sensing the power of Billy’s strike, Jared Byrne shouted loudly.
At the same time, he threw out a mysterious seal towards Billy, conjuring up a fierce gust of wind.
Puff!
The next moment, both Dakota, the deputy general, and Billy spewed out a large mouthful of blood and were sent flying backwards.
As Billy activated the Celestial Blade Art, Dakota had already sensed the dense aura of death, thus evading to the side at the first opportunity.
However, under the Celestial Blade curtain, within a radius of several kilometers, no one could escape the enshrouding blade glow.
Even though Dakota managed to dodge the direct slash, avoiding the lethal strike, he couldn’t escape the shockwave.
After being flung a thousand meters away, he collapsed to the ground, spitting out another large mouthful of blood.
With at least a third of his bones broken and his breath greatly weakened, his combat prowess was reduced to less than forty percent.
Meanwhile, Billy was sent flying by Jared Byrne’s mysterious seal.
Although he had a defensive aura protecting him, facing the cultivation of a fifth-rank Divine Realm warrior like Jared Byrne, even if he didn’t use his full strength, Billy was still injured.
His internal organs seemed to have shifted instantly, and his meridians had suffered some damage.
If it weren’t for his exceptional physical constitution, just this one move would have left him powerless!
