“Whether you’ll live to see tomorrow depends on your luck!” Billy’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.
“Heh.” Jared Byrne’s tone grew serious.
“Enough talking, since you refuse my offer, you’ll take the punishment!”
With those words, his momentum surged once again.
Soon, the massive energy sphere that had previously attacked Azure Dragon and the others reappeared above his head, its size increasing by at least one third compared to before.
The rapidly spinning energy sphere, carrying immense force, roared towards Billy, creating a fierce wind in the air.
At the same time, as his opponent launched the attack, Billy’s own momentum reached its peak.
Then, he channeled all the remaining power in his body into the Dragon Soaring Skies and struck out.
Due to his injuries, he struggled to unleash the full power of the Dragon Soaring Skies, and the clarity of the nine dragons was noticeably weaker.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out as the nine dragons collided with the energy sphere, causing both attacks to disperse invisibly.
The shock wave rapidly spread out in all directions, shattering the row of trees below into pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.
Puff!
Simultaneously, Billy and Jared Byrne were both sent flying hundreds of meters away, each spitting out blood before falling to the ground.
Jared Byrne hadn’t taken Billy seriously as a real opponent from the beginning, hence he didn’t go all out.
And due to his injuries, the power of the Dragon Soaring Skies was severely compromised for Billy.
Therefore, with one move, the two ended up evenly matched.
As Billy landed on the ground, Amber and Harleen emerged from the valley and helped him up, flying towards the valley.
In no time, after Jared Byrne got up from the ground, the three of them had landed at the entrance to the cave.
Following the recent round, he was also heavily injured, with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, his breathing in disarray.
Watching the backs of Billy and his group, he didn’t make another move but sat down cross-legged on the spot to regain his strength.
For him, since Billy and his group were all inside the cave, he could always catch them later after he had recovered!
While he was meditating, Billy and his group had entered the cave.
“Honey, how are you feeling?”
Watching Billy’s expression, Harleen asked with a worried look on her face.
At this moment, Billy’s mouth continued to bleed, and his breath was weak.
Amber also wore an extremely worried expression beside them.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart, it’s nothing serious. Just need some rest,” Billy reassured her with a calming gaze.
“Billy Boy, take this healing pill first.” Amber took out a pill from her pocket and handed it to Billy.
“Mm!” Billy took the pill and swallowed it.
After a slight pause, he asked, “How are Opal and Casey?”
“They’re fine, don’t worry!” Amber replied.
Shortly after, the three of them walked through a winding passage and arrived in a spacious area.
“Boss, how are you?” Night Orchid and Frostblade quickly approached.
Seeing Billy’s condition, both of them wore expressions of worry.
“I’m fine!” Billy shook his head. “Where are they?”
“They’re down there!” Night Orchid pointed to the east side of the space.
Subsequently, leading the group, they walked over.
Upon reaching a certain rock wall, Night Orchid pressed on it, revealing a stone door in front of them.
Entering through the door led to a stone staircase, with a drop of at least a hundred meters.
After descending the stairs, and walking several hundred meters further, they encountered another heavy stone door.
As Night Orchid pushed open the door, Billy’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Before him was a vast space, around forty to fifty thousand square meters, with a height of about twenty to thirty meters.
In stark contrast to the exterior, the interior resembled a luxurious indoor venue rather than an underground cave.
Surrounding the venue were a dozen or so rooms, each furnished with desks, sofas, and beds.
In the middle of the venue, various areas with different purposes were neatly arranged, along with many unnamed green plants.
It was hard to believe that such a place existed beneath the valley without seeing it with one’s own eyes.
Rayan Byrne had clearly put a lot of effort into building this place.
“Boss!”
“Billy!”
“Lord Dragon!”
…
Upon seeing Billy, everyone called out at the same time.
Thud!
Simultaneously, Danica Byrne and Johan Byrne swiftly approached and knelt down before him.
“Thank you very much, Mr Billy, we’re truly grateful!” Danica Byrne choked as she bowed.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Mr Billy!” Shortly after, Rhett Byrne and his wife also walked over and bowed towards Billy.
“Please rise!” After nodding to Rhett Byrne and his wife, Billy raised his hand towards Danica Byrne and her brother.
“Mr Billy, we’re sorry. We didn’t know there was a barrier set up in the dungeon. We’re truly sorry!”
“It’s not your fault!” Billy interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
The battle today was the most severe everyone had experienced in a long time, almost resulting in total annihilation.
If he had known the outcome would be like this, he might not have agreed to take action to save them.
Afterward, he turned to Stout and said, “Stout, first detoxify the king, and I’ll help heal him later!”
He had already examined Rhett Byrne’s body back at the camp, so he knew his condition well.
“Got it!” Stout nodded in response.
“Ivy, how are you?” Billy then turned to Ivy and asked.
“I’m fine, just a minor injury!” Ivy shook her head.
“Then check on Opal and Casey’s injuries first,” Billy instructed.
“Okay!” Ivy nodded.
Subsequently, Billy sat to the side cross-legged and activated the Heart Sutra to begin healing his own injuries.
His injuries were severe, making it impossible for him to heal others at the moment. He needed to stabilize his own condition first.
At the same time, outside the valley, Jared Byrne, after a brief rest, entered the valley, ready to catch his prey.
However, soon his expression slightly changed.
Scanning the surroundings, apart from trees and rocks, there was nothing unusual, let alone the entrance to the cave.
After observing for a while, he released a powerful spiritual power that enveloped the entire valley.
To his surprise, besides some birds and animals, he couldn’t sense the presence of any living people at all.
This was clearly due to the array; otherwise, with his cultivation, he could have sensed the underground space even if it were a kilometer below.
“Do you think setting up the array would make me unable to find you?” Jared Byrne withdrew his spiritual power, muttering coldly.
“Your highness!” Just then, a group of people arrived by air, coming from the palace.
“Rhett Byrne and his group are under this valley. Bring more people; find them for me!” Jared Byrne ordered solemnly.
