“Thank you so much, Mr Billy!” While speaking, Danica Byrne and her brother approached Billy with their mother, bowing deeply.
The three of them wore expressions of gratitude, knowing full well that the crisis in Tengamine Kingdom had passed.
“It’s nothing!” Billy waved his hand and then turned to the others, saying, “Let’s head out.”
He had already roughly checked the conditions of Opal, Casey, and the others.
Over the past two to three hours, with the help of Ivy and her siblings, everyone’s injuries had been mostly stabilized, at least preventing further worsening.
Before long, they arrived on the ground.
“Wow, was this hit by a meteor from outer space?” Bob couldn’t help but exclaim as he looked at the deep craters in the valley.
It wasn’t just him; Casey, Harleen, and others also showed faces of astonishment.
BOOM!
At the same time, a deafening sound came from the distant sky, sounding like thunder on a sunny day.
Even though they were standing in the valley several kilometers away, they could still sense the powerful residual waves.
“Wow, is it that strong?” Judge turned to Billy and asked, “Boss, what is King Rhett Byrne’s cultivation?”
“Sixth-rank Divine Realm,” Billy replied.
“No way?” Judge was filled with surprise.
“I thought he was at most at the late stage of the fifth-rank Divine Realm. No wonder that Jared Byrne ran away like he’d seen a ghost!”
“Let’s go out and take a look!” After speaking, Billy led the others as they soared out of the valley.
“They’re here, kill them!”
Just as everyone had landed on the flat ground outside the valley, a man’s voice rang out.
Then, thousands of royal guards began surrounding them.
“Princess, are these royal guards from your royal city? Should we just kill them all?” Frostblade looked at Danica Byrne and asked.
Coughing, Danica Byrne cleared her throat and said, “I’ll handle this.”
With that, she stepped forward to face the others.
Walking to a distance of a hundred meters from the others, she spoke in a loud voice.
“Listen, all of you! The traitor, Jared Byrne, has gone! He plotted for power and committed great treason, so he shall be exterminated along with his entire clan!”
“For those of you who were deceived by him, anyone who voluntarily surrenders and disarms themselves will be spared. Otherwise, there will be no mercy!”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, charge together and capture her for a reward!” A man at the forefront shouted.
“Attack!” Following him, five or six leaders behind him shouted and then charged towards Danica Byrne.
These several people were obviously small leaders among the royal guards, each with fairly decent cultivation levels.
At the sight of them attacking, the following thousands of people also rushed forward.
“We’ve already given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me!” Danica Byrne took a deep breath and then struck out with her hands.
Although her injuries had not yet fully recovered, she was able to mobilize about sixty to seventy percent of her strength.
Bang!
The man at the forefront was a seventh-rank Saint. After exchanging a blow with Danica Byrne, both of them retreated by a hundred meters.
At the same time, the others rushed forward, seemingly about to attack Danica Byrne.
Shoo!
Just then, a blood-red blade aura shot out like lightning, unstoppable.
Thud!
After the blade aura passed, including the man fighting Danica Byrne and the forty to fifty people running ahead, they all collapsed without understanding what had happened.
Lying on the ground, they convulsed a few times before laying still, a large amount of blood flowing from beneath their bodies.
Seeing this scene, the others quickly stopped, each with a horrified expression and trembling all over.
“Kneel, or die!”
Billy led the group as they strolled over.
Thump!
One of the men threw down his machete and knelt on both legs.
“Please spare us, Princess… I was just following orders, don’t kill me… I surrender willingly…”
Thump! Thump!
With the first person kneeling, the second and third soon followed.
Before long, there was a continuous stream of people kneeling.
“Please spare us, Princess… We were forced to do this…”
Thud!
Just then, a figure fell from the sky and landed heavily not far from the group of royal guards.
Looking over, it was Jared Byrne!
At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance he once had.
His hands and feet were broken, there was a large indentation in his chest, and both rows of his ribs were broken, with blood gushing out of his mouth.
It was obvious that Rhett Byrne had intentionally kept him alive instead of allowing him to die quickly, sealing his strength and leaving him barely hanging on.
Thump!
Seeing this, the royal guards who harbored some delusions immediately gave up, trembling and dropping to their knees.
Seeing this, they looked up and shouted to Rhett Byrne who had landed from the sky.
“Mercy, your majesty!”
“A group of traitors, why would we spare you?” Rhett Byrne’s gaze turned cold as he raised his hand, sweeping out several gusts of wind.
Whoosh!
As the shockwave passed, over a hundred people were instantly turned into bloody mist. When the wind subsided, not even any debris remained.
“Mercy…”
The remaining people trembled as they pleaded in fear.
“Die!” Rhett Byrne had no intention of sparing them.
As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and without hesitation, nearly a hundred people were instantaneously annihilated.
At his speed, it was estimated that in a few minutes, these few thousand people would all meet their end here.
“Father!” At this moment, Danica Byrne walked over. “Father, forget it. They were just following orders. Spare them.”
“These traitors who aided the wicked deserve death!” Rhett Byrne responded.
“Honey, let it go. They were forced by Jared Byrne. Spare their lives,” Rhett Byrne’s wife also walked over.
Seeing both his wife and daughter pleading for these people, Rhett Byrne did not continue the massacre.
Just then, Rayan Byrne led a group of people as they flew over. Each of them had some injuries, with Rayan Byrne being the most seriously injured.
“See the King!” After landing, everyone knelt and saluted.
“No need for such formality,” Rhett Byrne looked at Rayan Byrne and waved his hand.
“Thank you, your majesty!” Rayan Byrne and the others responded, standing up after the salute.
“Your majesty, have you recovered?” Rayan Byrne asked excitedly.
“Yes,” Rhett Byrne nodded. “This time, it’s all thanks to Mr Billy!”
“Mr Billy, let me bow to express my gratitude. Thank you for your great kindness!” Rayan Byrne walked a few steps to Billy and knelt down to pay his respects.
As he spoke, his heart was full of emotion.
Three days ago, he was not sure if today’s plan would work.
Although theoretically feasible, it was still just a plan on paper, and no one could guarantee that something unexpected might happen along the way.
But unexpectedly, it had worked out!
“It was just a small effort, no need to make a fuss,” Billy smiled gently and swept out a gust of wind to lift him up.
“Kill… kill me…”
At this moment, Jared Byrne, who had somewhat regained his breath, spoke with difficulty, continually spitting out a large amount of blood.
“At the moment when you decided to attack me, did you ever think it would end up like this?” Rhett Byrne responded in a deep voice.
“I told you, I wouldn’t let you die so easily!”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Rayan Byrne and instructed, “Take him back to the royal city!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Rayan Byrne responded and then took a few steps to pick up Jared Byrne.
“Mr Billy, please come back to the royal city with me. I have a heavy reward to offer!” Afterward, Rhett Byrne walked up to Billy and spoke.
