“Stop right there!”
Casey’s voice rang out again as the blade light flashed swiftly past.
“Get lost!” Yousef Buck bellowed in a deep voice, sent out a gust of wind to sweep away the blade’s energy.
Before he recovered his breath, another palm strike howled from the other side, tumbling through the air in waves.
“Huh?”
Yousef Buck’s pupils shrank suddenly as he summoned the last of his strength to raise his hand in a palm strike to meet it.
Boom!
The two forces collided, and Yousef Buck was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Yousef Buck, you’re quite impressed!”
A man’s voice followed, and then Nelson Morris appeared in a flash, his complexion looking terrible.
Previously, shortly after Casey and Bailey Kemp had arrived, he also thought of a possibility.
So, after some thought, he followed them down.
“Prince Nelson?”
Yousef Buck took a deep breath, suppressing the energy in his chest.
“Who’s behind you?” Nelson Morris asked in a deep voice, his aura brimming with killing intent.
Billy was someone he had gone to great lengths to invite; he was counting on Billy to help him get the position of heir!
If Billy were killed, it would be impossible for him to become the heir. Whether he could even live to leave Forbidden Phantom Valley was an unknown.
“Let me guess, it was Prince Christopher, right?” Billy turned to Yousef Buck and said solemnly.
After thinking briefly, he guessed the whole story.
Apart from Christopher Morris, no one else had such power!
“Very likely!” Casey approached and then turned to Billy to ask, “Boss, are you all right?”
“I’m fine!” Billy shook his head.
While the two were talking, Yousef Buck took another deep breath and quickly bolted to one side.
“Still trying to run?”
Casey’s gaze darkened as he once again pulled out a flash of blade energy.
Yousef Buck, intent on escaping, didn’t clash with Casey head-on and dodged to the side.
However, just as he hadn’t completely stabilized his form, Billy had made his move, a blood-red blade energy shooting out swiftly.
“Mr Billy, spare his life for now!” Nelson Morris shouted at the same time.
But, it was too late!
The blade energy passed, and immediately a line of blood appeared on Yousef Buck’s chest.
Yousef Buck’s body paused in midair for a moment before spurting out a stream of blood.
He opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word as he fell to the ground in free fall.
In the moment before his death, infinite regret rose in his heart.
He was the once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy of the Broken Star Sect, and already a sixth-rank Divine Realm cultivator at a young age, making him an outstanding figure throughout the entire Rainbow Moon Empire.
During this trip to Forbidden Phantom Valley, if he was lucky enough, he could have improved his cultivation even further. For him, the future was bright.
But human greed is limitless.
When Christopher Morris approached him last night and offered him a deal, he didn’t hesitate too much before agreeing.
Although he knew that Billy was powerful and that killing him would be extremely difficult, the conditions offered by Christopher Morris were too enticing.
After agreeing to Christopher Morris’s terms, he met with Bailey Kemp and Anthony Parry.
The three had just met, and before he could speak, Bailey Kemp suggested that they work together to deal with Billy, which was exactly what he wanted.
Hence, it led to the scene just now.
In fact, from the moment he entered Forbidden Phantom Valley, he had been seeking an opportunity, but he never had a suitable one until now.
Earlier, when he heard Billy mention that he was coming down to investigate, he knew his chance had arrived.
But he never expected this to be the outcome!
“Mr Billy, I apologize, I had no idea that my brother…” At this moment, Nelson Morris came up to Billy to speak.
“Prince Nelson, don’t mind, this has nothing to do with you!” Billy interrupted with a faint smile and continued, “The canyon should be safe now, let’s hurry up and cross!”
“Alright!” Nelson Morris nodded in response.
Soon, the three of them returned to the top of the canyon.
“Honey, are you injured?” Harleen asked with a hint of concern, seeing Billy’s condition.
Ivy and others also looked over simultaneously.
“Honey, don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury!” Billy replied with a smile.
“Mr. Kimmons, did those bastards target Billy?” Felicia asked Casey.
“Yes!” Casey nodded and briefly explained the whole story.
“What?” After listening to his description, the faces of the other dozen or so men and women showed a hint of surprise.
“They’re asking for trouble! I think that Prince Christopher is in trouble!” Azure Fang replied coldly.
“Let’s go!” Billy said to everyone before leading them across the canyon.
As he had guessed, the canyon was now safe, and the group successfully reached the other side.
Afterward, they continued forward for about half an hour and finally emerged from the forest.
Outside the forest, what appeared before them was a complex desert terrain with thick yellow sand on the ground, bizarre giant rocks, and sporadic vegetation and trees.
Due to the strong winds, the air was filled not only with mist but also with sand.
Visibility was lower than before, and no one knew how vast this desert was.
The thirty-plus people didn’t stay long and continued walking forward.
After walking for about thirty minutes, they still hadn’t seen any borders.
At the same time, they could clearly sense that the wind speed had increased significantly, and the sand in the air had become denser.
Huff… After walking for a while, the wind speed increased again and showed no signs of slowing down.
The speed kept increasing, and in less than ten minutes, it reached the level of a strong wind.
But it didn’t stop there; after a few more minutes, the wind speed reached hurricane levels.
In the entire space, the sound of fierce winds was incessant, and the sky was filled with yellow sand, reducing visibility to about ten meters.
The increase in wind speed greatly affected their walking speed.
As time passed, instead of slowing down, the wind speed increased even more, making it almost impossible for them to move forward.
Keep in mind that these were all martial artists above the half-step Divine Realm, not powerless scholars.
Even they found it difficult to advance, indicating how strong the wind had become.
Moreover, due to the high wind speed, many rocks and vegetation on the ground were lifted into the air, raging everywhere.
It was only thanks to their defensive aura that they were protected; otherwise, the high-speed flying rocks alone would have taken their lives.
“Everyone, be careful!” Nelson Morris shouted with a serious expression.
“Prince Nelson, you be careful too!” someone replied.
“This damn place is really damning!” Judge was about to curse again.
“Stay alert, stay by my side, and don’t get separated from each other!” Billy said in a deep voice.
“Ah…”
Just then, a woman screamed and fell down.
