“Casey, can you handle practicing with him?” Billy pointed at Darius Hunt and asked.
“I can!” Casey replied loudly.
With that, he drew his Celestial Blade and charged towards Darius Hunt, his momentum rising.
“You’re asking for death!” Darius Hunt sensed Casey’s strength and coldly retorted, meeting him head-on.
Being only at the half-step Divine Realm, he naturally didn’t take him seriously.
Soon, the two engaged in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, Azure Dragon and his group also engaged in combat with the others on the opposing side.
“If you want to fight, come with me!” Billy then turned to the blue-robed elder on the other side and said before flying off.
“You arrogant brat, I’ll make you regret it!” The blue-robed elder roared and followed suit.
He had already assessed Casey and the others’ skills. Except for Casey being at the half-step Divine Realm, the rest were all at the Saint realm. So, he wasn’t worried about Darius Hunt being in danger.
“Come! Let me see what skills you have to dare to meddle with the affairs of Flying Dragon Sect!”
Before long, the two were in mid-air, and the blue-robed elder spoke again with a deep voice.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, he swept out bursts of violent winds towards Billy.
“You’ll see soon enough!” Billy replied and unleashed the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, meeting the onslaught.
A loud bang echoed in the air, shock waves rippling out, causing the towering trees below to sway.
“Not bad!”
After a round of attacks, the blue-robed elder furrowed his brows slightly.
He vaguely felt that Billy hadn’t put forth his full strength in their battle, treating him more like a sparring partner.
And he was right; Billy was indeed treating him as such.
For Billy, opportunities like this were rare, and with no time constraints, he was happy to spar with him.
“I won’t waste any more time with you!” After a slight pause, the blue-robed elder’s tone turned heavy. “Take another attack from me!”
With that said, he swung his hands, forming afterimages in the air, condensing into a large mysterious seal.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, the seal began to spin rapidly, causing violent winds to rampage in the air, wreaking havoc.
Then, a huge vortex of air, carrying earth-shattering energy, swept towards Billy with formidable force.
At the same time, Billy also launched his attack.
For him now, battling a fourth-rank Divine Realm was no longer difficult.
After sheathing the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, his hands kept flipping, forming the Art of Fire.
With his cultivation increasing, the power of the Five Elements Secret Art also soared. Compared to last time, the fiery dragon was now clearer.
Boom!
In the next moment, the fiery dragon surged forth, directly piercing through the huge vortex of air.
The seal that the blue-robed elder had unleashed immediately exploded, but the momentum of the fiery dragon remained unabated, crashing into the elder’s chest.
The elder spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, smashing through a row of branches before falling onto the mountain ground.
“… So strong…” With difficulty, he uttered these two words before slumping down.
After dealing with the elder, Billy glanced at Casey’s battle circle but didn’t intervene further, allowing Casey and the others to practice.
About ten minutes later, the fight between the two sides was nearing its end. Including Darius Hunt, all of the opponents lay down, completely devoid of strength.
At the same time, Stout had stabilized the injuries of the gray-robed elder and the others.
“Thank you for saving our lives, sir!” Subsequently, the gray-robed elder and Yasmin Thompson approached Billy and bowed.
“It was nothing,” Billy waved his hand. “Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet, and it’s not safe here. You should go back.”
“May I ask for your name?” Yasmin Thompson spoke up.
“Can you tell me where your mansion is, so that we may visit and express our gratitude in the future?”
“My name is Billy,” Billy responded. “It’s just a small favor. If anything comes up, you can find me in the north of Extreme City.”
“Hmm?” Upon hearing this, both the gray-robed elder and Yasmin Thompson were momentarily stunned.
“Mr Billy, could it be that you’re the one who recently took action against Wild Tiger Gang and had conflicts with Cardinal Eagles Sect?” the gray-robed elder asked again.
“Yes,” Billy nodded.
“No wonder!” The gray-robed elder couldn’t help but sigh. “Indeed, heroes rise from the young!”
The matters regarding Wild Tiger Gang and Cardinal Eagles Sect had already spread in Extreme City these past few days, and being members of Cloud Feather Sect, they naturally received the news.
He didn’t expect to encounter him here.
“Once again, thank you for your great kindness, Mr Billy. We will definitely visit to express our gratitude in the future.” Yasmin Thompson also showed a hint of surprise on her face.
“Don’t mention it,” Billy replied.
“Mr Billy, are you also here for that fourth-rank Divine Beast?” the gray-robed elder asked again.
“Are you?” Bob interjected.
“Sir, you’re joking,” the gray-robed elder replied. “The strength of a fourth-rank Divine Beast is almost comparable to that of a fourth-rank Divine Realm. With our meager strength, how could we dare to join in the excitement?”
“Although there are many fierce beasts in this primeval forest, there are also many treasures. We came here today to gather herbs, never expecting to encounter people from Flying Dragon Sect.”
“Do you know where that fourth-rank Divine Beast has appeared before?” Bob asked further.
“I’m not very sure about the specifics,” the gray-robed elder shook his head. “But it’s said that someone saw it near the Misty Forest.”
“Misty Forest?” Azure Dragon was slightly puzzled. “Where is that?”
“The Misty Forest is the most dangerous area in this primeval forest, occupying one-third of the entire mountain range,” Yasmin Thompson replied.
“If you want to go, you can follow this direction and continue forward. You’ll see it after walking a few more kilometers.”
“Thank you!” Billy nodded slightly and then pointed at Darius Hunt and the others. “Deal with them!”
With that said, he led Casey and the others away.
As for how Yasmin Thompson would handle Darius Hunt and the others, it was no longer his concern.
After walking for about another fifteen minutes, the air gradually became more misty.
After another ten minutes of walking, they arrived at a relatively open flat ground.
Not far ahead of them was an area shrouded in mist.
“This should be the so-called Misty Forest, right?” Bob looked ahead and said.
“Why is the mist here so thick?” Azure Dragon also commented.
“There seems to be something wrong with this mist,” Stout said, wearing a pensive expression.
“What do you mean?” Ian Blade asked. “Is it poisonous?”
“Although it shouldn’t have too much impact on human bodies, staying in it for too long might cause discomfort,” Stout replied.
“And this is just the periphery; I wonder what it will be like deeper in,” Bob remarked.
“Is that so?” Bob spoke up.
“Boss, someone’s coming!” Casey turned to look at the nearby path.
Before his words fell, a group of people hurriedly arrived on the flat ground.
There were a total of six men and women, led by a white-haired old man with formidable cultivation, at the later stage of the fourth-rank Divine Realm.
The others were also decently strong, two at the third-rank Divine Realm, two at the first-rank Divine Realm, and one at the half-step Divine Realm.
Upon seeing Billy and the others, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.
“Who are you?” demanded an elder at the third-rank Divine Realm among them, his voice cold.
