Not only Victoria Richards, but the other three were also stunned at the same time.
Billy’s current martial aura was at the sixth-rank Divine Realm, the same level as theirs, but his state was obviously much stronger than theirs.
“It’s just a small effort, no need to be polite!” Billy smiled faintly, “Mr Billy, you’ve killed Finn Guthrie and so many people from Crimson Flame Empire. Abram Guthrie definitely won’t let it go easily!”
Beside him, Rachel Richards pointed to Abram Guthrie on the platform and spoke.
“The person beside him is Bobby Woods, the first among the peers of Crimson Flame Empire. Although his cultivation is at the seventh-rank Divine Realm, but…”
“Thank you for the reminder!” Billy smiled and interrupted her, “I’ll go ahead!”
“Mr Billy, don’t be careless!” Victoria Richards spoke again.
“It’s okay!” Billy smiled again and continued walking towards the seventh-level platform.
“Mr Billy is indeed extraordinary!”
Watching Billy’s back, a woman in her forties couldn’t help but sigh.
“He clearly only has the cultivation of the fifth-rank Divine Realm, but he exudes the aura of the later stage sixth-rank.”
“Moreover, even in the sixth-rank Divine Realm, no one can be as relaxed and at ease on the seventh-level staircase as he is.”
“Indeed extraordinary!” Rachel Richards nodded in response, then continued with a pensive expression.
“If he can pass the test of Abram Guthrie and Bobby Woods, he might even make it to the eighth-level staircase!”
“It’s probably difficult!” Another slightly older woman shook her head slightly.
“Bobby Woods is worthy of his reputation. Just last month, it was heard that he killed a ninth-rank Divine Realm expert.”
“Moreover, Abram Guthrie is beside him. If he goes all out, he also has the power of a ninth-rank Divine Realm.”
“Although Mr Billy is very strong, he is only at the sixth-rank Divine Realm. It’s too difficult to surpass both Bobby Woods and Abram Guthrie!”
“Let’s hurry up!” Victoria Richards gritted her teeth and continued to climb up.
For her, Billy saved her life. Now that she sees Billy in danger, she naturally won’t stand idly by.
Twenty minutes later, Billy stood on the seventh-level platform.
At the same time, Abram Guthrie and Bobby Woods got up and walked over from the aisle.
After about an hour of rest, the two had already recovered quite a bit.
“It’s surprising that you’ve come to the seventh level so quickly!” Abram Guthrie looked Billy up and down before speaking.
“You’re not bad either!” Billy replied lightly.
“You’ve killed the second prince and so many people from Crimson Flame Empire, yet you still dare to come here actively. Admirable courage!” Bobby Woods’s eyes were cold as he stared at Billy.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to come?” Billy smiled faintly, “Just because of you two?”
“You seem very confident in yourself!” Abram Guthrie responded, “You don’t even know how foolish you are…”
“Alright, stop the nonsense. If you want to avenge your brother, then let’s get started!” Billy’s voice grew deeper.
“As you wish!” Bobby Woods responded, then looked at Abram Guthrie, “Your Highness, I’ll deal with him first!”
“Good!” Abram Guthrie nodded and stepped back a certain distance.
“Come on, let me see how much confidence you have to support your killing of our Crimson Flame Empire’s people!”
While speaking, Bobby Woods drew out his own blade from his waist.
The blade was four feet long, with dark patterns engraved on it, exuding a strong ancient aura, obviously an extraordinary weapon.
“Okay!” Billy also drew out the Bloodshadow Fury Blade.
The next moment, a towering momentum burst forth from Bobby Woods, revealing the aura of the seventh-rank Divine Realm.
Immediately after, Bobby Woods’s wrist continued to rotate, and endless blade energy quickly condensed into an extremely sharp blade net, attacking Billy.
Billy naturally didn’t stand still, he wielded the Blood Fury Blade and met it head-on, blood-red blade energy flashing in the air.
Two aggressive attacks clashed together, emitting a fierce impact sound, and the shock waves quickly spread out in all directions.
Surprisingly, the impact range of the shock waves was limited to the area of the stone steps, as if there was a barrier at the edge of the stone steps, unbreakable.
After a few rounds, the two backed off about ten steps each.
From the looks of the two, in this wave of attacks, both sides were evenly matched.
“You’ve got some skill! No wonder even Gabriel couldn’t match you!” Bobby Woods stabilized his figure and looked at Billy.
“Bobby, let’s finish this quickly together!” Abram Guthrie walked over.
Although he was mentally prepared, knowing Billy’s skills must be strong since his cousin and Gabriel couldn’t handle him, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw Billy’s strength for real.
Although Bobby Woods hadn’t used his full strength, he was certain that Billy had only exerted seventy to eighty percent of his power.
This made him feel a sense of unease, and his right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.
To avoid any unexpected situations, he didn’t want to wait any longer.
“No need!” Bobby Woods replied.
Then, he looked at Billy and said with a serious tone, “Alright, I won’t play with you anymore, just take my strike!”
Whoosh!
As his words fell, he took two steps forward, gathering all his power into his right arm, and poured the raging Chi power into the ancient blade.
Soon, the blade began to tremble slightly, and its color gradually changed to flames.
“Burning Blade Technique!”
As Bobby Woods spoke, the ancient blade emitted a flame-like aura and slashed towards Billy with thunderous force.
The entire space was illuminated, and wherever the blade passed, the air temperature rose by several degrees.
On the stone steps, the pressure from the array already made it difficult for everyone to move, but now it became even more unbearable, causing a suffocating feeling. Several people on the third and fourth sections of the stairs directly collapsed, their faces pale and trembling all over.
Including Victoria Richards and others, they also felt the sudden increase in pressure and couldn’t help but stop their steps, mobilizing their energy to resist this pressure.
Just from the momentum of this strike, it was clear that it was not something an ordinary ninth-rank Divine Realm warrior could contend with.
Below, Casey, Harleen, and the others all looked up with solemn expressions, their eyes filled with worry.
“I’ll take ten strikes from you without hesitation!”
Just as the opponent launched his attack, Billy also acted.
Facing the full-force strike from such a high-level opponent, he naturally wouldn’t be careless and exerted his full power to unleash the Celestial Blade Art.
Boom!
A deafening sound spread throughout the space, shaking the eardrums.
The powerful shock waves rapidly spread out like a nuclear explosion.
Victoria Richards and others, who were about ten steps away from the seventh-level platform, were pushed back nearly twenty steps by the shock waves, their blood and Chi surging in their chests.
Abram Guthrie, beside them, was also pushed back for more than twenty meters by the shock waves before stabilizing himself.
Billy and Bobby Woods were both shaken towards the left and right passages, then heavily fell to the ground, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After one move, the two were still evenly matched!
“How is this possible?!” Bobby Woods, who stabilized himself, couldn’t help but shout, his face full of shock.
He never expected that his full-force strike could still be blocked by Billy!
You must know that a month ago, with the same strike, he killed a genuine ninth-rank Divine Realm expert!
But Billy, who only had the cultivation level of the sixth rank Divine Realm, actually fought him evenly!
“Surprised?” Billy replied after adjusting his breath slightly.
“Bobby, stop wasting time with him, let’s team up and kill him quickly!” At the same time, after realizing the situation, Abram Guthrie shouted loudly.
Immediately after, he also drew out a blade that could enhance his combat power and slashed a cold light towards Billy.
