“Sect master!”
Just as Billy and his group entered the courtyard, the members of Lion Syndicate Sect looked up at the figure leading them in the void and shouted loudly.
In the sky, apart from the leader, Alex Pratt, there were a dozen or so men and women in robes behind him.
From the aura emanating from these men and women, it was evident that all of them were strong individuals above the half-step Divine Realm, with the highest cultivation being a fourth-rank Divine Realm expert.
Alex Pratt had brought all the remaining elite forces of Lion Syndicate Sect.
“Boss…” Jordyn Pratt looked pale as he spoke to Alex Pratt.
“Take the vice master back to heal!” Alex Pratt glanced at Jordyn Pratt with a grim face and said in a deep voice.
An hour ago, when Jordyn Pratt led people to find Billy and his group, he had a vague sense of unease in his heart. As time passed, this unease grew stronger.
So, he rushed to the scene with people, and as expected, their side had already suffered heavy casualties.
The anger in his heart was beyond words.
“Roger!” The group responded and flew towards the direction of Lion Syndicate Sect with Jordyn Pratt.
“You guys stay outside. Anyone who tries to escape, kill them without mercy!” Alex Pratt then looked back at the crowd behind him and shouted loudly.
“Yes, sir!” The group responded simultaneously.
Then, Alex Pratt walked towards the manor gate, shouting loudly as he went.
“Listen up, everyone inside! I’ll give you a chance to end yourselves. I’ll leave you with intact corpses!”
However, despite his shouting for a while, there was no response from the courtyard.
“Do you think hiding will save your lives?” Alex Pratt spoke again in a deep voice.
“Since you are unwilling to act, then disappear with this manor!”
As he spoke, his momentum soared rapidly, and the pressure in the void increased several levels again.
Then, with a slight squint of his eyes, he raised his hand and was about to smash towards the manor gate.
Boom!
Just then, a thunderous sound echoed in the previously clear sky.
The next moment, strong hurricanes swept through the scene, raising sand and stones, and the sky darkened.
In just a few breaths, within a radius of several kilometers, sand filled the sky, blocking the sun, and the visibility dropped rapidly.
The members of Lion Syndicate Sect were completely puzzled, their faces showing surprise.
What shocked them even more was that the manor, which was only three to four hundred meters away, disappeared from their sight as if by magic.
Within their line of sight, there was nothing but sand and wind!
“They’ve set up an array here?” a man shouted after scanning the surroundings.
“Most likely!” another person responded in a deep voice.
As the two said, indeed, an array had been set up here!
This was what Billy and his people had been busy with for the past three days.
Three days ago, after Billy finished discussing with Marquise Thompson of Cloud Feather Sect, he had already prepared for the worst.
If Lion Syndicate Sect attacked with their full strength, what could they do to resist?
At that time, he thought of the array!
With his breakthrough to the third-rank Divine Realm, his proficiency in arrays had long been incomparable to before.
Coupled with the assistance of Ivy and Opal, it wasn’t particularly difficult to set up a guardian array within three days.
And thus, the scene now unfolded!
Of course, the premise he based on was that Lion Syndicate Sect didn’t have experts in arrays, or at least no one stronger than him in arrays.
Otherwise, everything would be in vain!
“Petty tricks!” Alex Pratt snorted coldly.
“Do you think setting up an array would render me powerless? How ignorant!” As he spoke, several violent blasts of Chi surged towards the direction of the previous manor.
However, to his surprise, the full force behind those strikes, besides stirring up a fierce wind, yielded no reaction whatsoever, as if they disappeared without a trace.
Considering the distance between him and the manor’s gate earlier, those strikes should have shattered not only the gate but also the surrounding walls into pieces.
Clearly, this array wasn’t as simple as he thought!
At the same time, others also launched numerous strikes all around, but like Alex Pratt, their efforts only intensified the surrounding hurricane slightly, achieving nothing more.
“Look, it’s fogging up!”
Soon, an elderly man raised his head and shouted towards the sky.
Hearing this, everyone looked up.
They saw the dim sky becoming shrouded in mist, descending rapidly towards the ground, reducing visibility once again.
“The fog is toxic, hold your breath and move quickly!”
Simultaneously, Alex Pratt shouted loudly. With his cultivation, he naturally sensed something amiss in the fog at the first moment.
However, his warning came a bit late. Several people had already inhaled a significant amount of mist, feeling immediate discomfort in their bodies.
Without much thought, the group quickly held their breath and flew into the air, heading towards the sky.
Yet, to their astonishment, even after flying for several minutes, they couldn’t escape the shroud of mist, as if the entire space was filled with it.
Thud!
Before long, two or three men who had initially inhaled the mist convulsed and fell from the sky.
Crashing heavily onto the ground, they lay motionless. One of them was already at the second-rank Divine Realm.
“Damn it!”
Watching this scene, Alex Pratt glared as he exuded a strong aura.
However, at this moment, he had no way to exert his power, only able to hasten his flight towards a distant place.
He knew very well that only by leaving this space imbued with the array would he have a chance to act.
Thud!
After a while, an elderly man at the third-rank Divine Realm crashed heavily into a barrier, emitting a dull sound.
“They’ve also set up a barrier!”
The old man exclaimed in horror. However, as soon as he shouted, he regretted it, as the poison invaded his body through his respiratory tract.
Realizing this, he quickly held his breath and sealed the poison within him using his techniques. However, by doing so, he couldn’t freely manipulate his Chi power, as the toxin would inevitably spread within his body.
Alex Pratt, not far away, naturally sensed the presence of the barrier. With a frown, he exerted his power with a palm strike.
To his surprise, the barrier merely trembled slightly, showing no signs of damage.
This situation was understandable. Billy, after activating his bloodline power, had reached the cultivation of the fourth-rank Divine Realm, and at full strength, his mental power was equivalent to that of a late-stage seventh-rank Divine Realm.
Although Alex Pratt was of the eighth-rank Divine Realm, breaking through the barrier in this toxin-filled space was no easy task.
“Hmm?”
Alex Pratt furrowed his brows and struck again.
The result was not much different; the barrier remained as solid as a rock.
Swish!
At the same time, in this space, several cold glimmers suddenly flashed, slashing towards the other individuals.
