“Is there something?” Azure Dragon asked in return.
“Answer my questions directly, why so much nonsense!” Another man at the first-rank Divine Realm spoke sternly.
“Idiot!” Ian Blade retorted.
“Huh?” The man responded angrily, “You wanna die?”
“You can try!” Ian Blade glanced at him.
“You arrogant brat, I’ll show you what it means to be outmatched!” The man’s eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed as he swung his big knife.
“Back off!” Casey also struck with his blade.
Thunk…
After a dull sound, they both stepped back tens of meters.
“Not bad!” The man stabilized himself and continued, “Let me try another strike!”
As his words fell, his momentum rose rapidly, and he was about to attack again.
“Stop!” The old man with white hair reprimanded.
Then, after glancing at Billy and the others again, he spoke to his own people.
“Our business is urgent, don’t get sidetracked, let’s go in!”
With that said, he led the group into the Misty Forest.
“Boss, most likely they’re from Lion Syndicate Sect,” Casey said to Billy.
“Yeah!” Billy nodded in response.
Although there were many sects in Extreme City, not many could easily dispatch such a lineup, except for Flying Dragon Sect and Lion Syndicate Sect.
“Stout, do you have any detox pills?” Billy then asked Stout.
He had naturally noticed that there was something odd about the mist.
“Yes!” Stout took out several pills from his body and handed them to Casey and the others.
“Let’s go, we’ll go in too, but not too fast, let them explore the way ahead,” Billy said.
After Casey and the others took the detox pills, Billy led them in.
As expected, as they went further in, the mist became denser, and visibility decreased.
However, for everyone, it was no longer about observing their surroundings with their eyes; they released their spiritual power, making any danger within a radius of several kilometers clear.
Of course, provided that the objects of danger hadn’t concealed their own aura.
“Boss, there’s a fight ahead!” After walking for about twenty minutes, Casey frowned slightly.
Boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud noise reached everyone’s ears.
Thud!
Immediately after, a figure flew over at high speed.
After breaking several branches in a row and crashing heavily to the ground hundreds of meters away from the group, a large amount of blood spurted out, and then there was silence.
“What the heck is going on!” Azure Dragon said before striding over.
Billy and the others quickly followed.
When they arrived not far from the scene, they saw that the man lying on the ground was the half-step Divine Realm from Lion Syndicate Sect who had previously clashed with them.
A large piece was sunken in his chest, his sternum completely shattered, and a large amount of blood continuously flowed from his mouth.
“A half-step Divine Realm directly killed?” Ian Blade frowned, “They must have encountered that fourth-rank Divine Beast!”
“Be careful, stay behind me!” Billy nodded.
Boom!
Before they had taken a few steps, another figure flew over.
Like the previous man, he crashed to the ground, tumbled a few times, and then went still.
Looking closely, it was the man who had clashed with Casey before, his eyes wide open, dead.
Boom!
Immediately after, there was another earth-shattering sound from ahead, and several towering trees collapsed, shocking everyone.
“Damn! It’s huge!” After walking a while longer, Stout shouted loudly.
A look of surprise flashed across Billy and the others’ faces simultaneously.
They saw, several hundred meters away, a giant python, about a hundred meters long, battling fiercely with the white-haired old man from Lion Syndicate Sect, who was a fourth-rank Divine Realm.
The other two third-rank Divine Realm men and women were also joining the fight.
There was also a man lying on the ground, apparently already lifeless.
“Boss, can you determine the level of that giant python?” Azure looked at Billy and asked, “Is it really a fourth-rank Divine Beast?”
“No!” Billy shook his head.
“No?” Azure Fang was puzzled, “Then how can it contend with a fourth-rank Divine Realm?”
“Because it’s a fifth-rank Divine Beast!” Billy replied.
“What?” Azure Dragon and the others exclaimed simultaneously.
“Rumors are indeed unreliable!” Bob spoke, “People outside were saying it’s just a fourth-rank Divine Beast, but it’s already fifth rank!”
Boom!
Just then, another loud noise echoed at the scene.
They saw the third-rank Divine Realm female being swept a thousand meters away by the giant python’s tail, leaving an arc of blood in the air.
All her ribs were shattered, and she collapsed on the ground, breathless.
“Damn it!” The white-haired old man roared.
Then, he waved his hands, forming a fiery sphere about ten meters in diameter, and hurled it toward the giant python.
The python evidently sensed some danger and chose not to confront it head-on, swiftly dodging to the side.
Boom!
The fiery sphere exploded like a shell, the hot shock wave hitting the python, which was knocked back a hundred meters, weakening its aura.
At the same time, the other third-rank Divine Realm male wielded his sword, sending several cold lights shooting towards the python.
The sword lights pierced the python without hindrance, but they had no effect, not even breaking its scales.
“Elder Dustin, the information is wrong, it’s already a fifth-rank Divine Beast, don’t fight, let’s go!” the white-haired old man shouted loudly.
“Okay!” The third-rank Divine Realm responded loudly, then turned and flew away into the sky.
“Elder Dustin, be careful!” Just as he flew less than a hundred meters away, the white-haired old man shouted.
“Huh?” The third-rank Divine Realm man also sensed the danger behind him at this time, his pupils shrinking rapidly.
Without much thought, he quickly dodged to the side.
However, it was obviously too late!
Although he avoided the direct impact of the python’s tail, the strong airflow lifted him off like a high-pressure airwave.
Then, he heavily crashed into a huge tree trunk, and the sound of bones breaking immediately followed.
After falling to the ground, he spewed out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body collapsed like mud.
“Elder Dustin!” The white-haired old man cried out in pain.
However, he had no intention of rescuing him, turning around and darting to the side.
It seemed that the giant python was not willing to let them go, swinging its body to pursue.
The white-haired old man frowned, and his peripheral vision caught sight of Billy and the others, so he immediately headed in their direction.
“Damn, this old guy is trying to bring disaster upon us!” Bob cursed.
“Casey, take them back!” Billy said, drawing the Bloodshadow Fury Blade from his body as he spoke.
“Got it!” Casey responded and, along with Azure Dragon and the others, flew backward into the sky.
Crack!
The python’s speed was extremely fast; its tail swung rapidly, snapping several large trees in half.
The white-haired old man was a fourth-rank Divine Realm expert, so he easily dodged the python’s attack. Billy also didn’t confront it head-on and skillfully dodged aside in midair. However, even so, the powerful energy waves still caused a surge of blood in his chest.
