“Boss!” Casey looked at Billy and spoke.
“Are you okay?” Billy nodded slightly.
“I’m fine!” Casey shook his head.
“You go rest, I’ll take over!” Billy responded.
“Okay!” Casey nodded and turned to leave the ring.
“Are you Billy?” A young man looked Billy up and down and spoke in a deep voice.
“What’s your name?” Billy replied.
At the moment of speaking, he roughly explored the opponent’s cultivation, which was at the late stage of the eighth-rank Divine Realm. However, after a slight pause, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“It doesn’t matter what my name is!” The man continued, “I heard that with your cultivation at the eighth-rank Divine Realm, you can kill someone from the first-rank Sacred Realm?”
“Don’t believe it?” Billy replied lightly.
“Indeed, I don’t believe it!” The young man responded, “So I came specifically to find you today, hoping for a fair fight with you. I hope you’ll agree.”
“What’s your purpose?” Billy asked.
“Nothing special, just want to spar with you!” The young man said.
“Is that so?” Billy smiled faintly and asked back, “Why should I agree to you?”
“You have no choice!” The young man continued.
“I came for you this time. If you don’t fight me, I’ll turn Skydragon City upside down.”
“You should be very clear about my strength. Although there are many people here, there are not many truly powerful ones.”
“Except for you and your mother, no one can stop me.”
Just now, when Billy and Stephanie Stuart appeared, he had sensed the cultivation of both, both at the eighth-rank Divine Realm. At the same time, he felt a strong pressure from both of them, faintly feeling that their strength might not be below his.
“You’re quite confident in yourself!” Billy said lightly.
“I’m stating the facts, aren’t I?” The young man responded coldly.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll just kill you directly?” Billy continued.
“I said, a fair fight between us, life and death are up to fate!” The young man spoke again, “If I’m really killed by you because of my inferior skills, then I accept my fate!”
“If I guess correctly, you’re not purely here for martial arts competition, right?” Billy asked abruptly.
“How did you know?” The young man was slightly stunned.
“Because your eyes and brows are not pure, and you’ve also disguised yourself!” Billy said lightly.
“In addition, most likely, you’ve used some secret method to enhance your cultivation, right?”
“If there’s no special reason, normal people wouldn’t resort to such methods to enhance their cultivation!”
When he probed the opponent’s aura just now, he felt that it wasn’t very stable, and then after a slight comprehensive sensing, he understood.
As for the opponent’s disguise technique, in front of him, it was like a small trick, easily seen through by him.
After hearing Billy’s words, there was a burst of discussion from below the ring.
“No wonder he has the cultivation of the half-step Sacred Realm at such a young age, turns out it’s forcibly enhanced!”
“This kind of method has a great aftermath for martial artists.”
“To challenge Mr Billy, he’s disregarding even his own martial path!”
“You can even see through this?” The young man was stunned again, “You’re really extraordinary!”
After speaking, his momentum soared, and soon, the cultivation of the late half-step Divine Realm was revealed.
Immediately after, he pulled out the ancient broadsword from his back, five feet long and one foot wide, with dark patterns engraved on the blade, emitting a chilling murderous aura all around.
At the same time, a strong oppressive aura permeated the void, causing some of the men and women with lower cultivation under the ring to shiver involuntarily.
“Go ahead!” The young man raised his knife and pointed at Billy. “Let me see if you, this so-called genius, are just all talk!”
“If you really want to fight, then follow me!” Billy spoke calmly, then soared into the air. The entire square was filled with people from Skydragon City, and he naturally wouldn’t let the shock waves of their battle harm innocents.
The reason he agreed to the challenge was twofold. First, he didn’t want trouble in Skydragon City. With the challenger’s strength, causing trouble would be a headache for Skydragon City. On the other hand, he also wanted to see who the challenger was and what their purpose in Skydragon City was.
“Good!” The young man replied solemnly and swiftly followed.
Soon, the two stood facing each other in mid-air.
“Come at me!” Billy looked at the opponent and said lightly, “If you can withstand one of my moves, I’ll count it as your win!”
“Don’t be arrogant!” The man frowned and responded sternly.
As his wrist continued to rotate, endless sharp blade energy appeared in the void.
“Take my strike!”
Following his shout, a blade energy imbued with thunderous force rushed towards Billy at an incredible speed, tearing through the void.
The ancient large knife in the man’s hand obviously enhanced his combat power, coupled with his unrestrained full force.
So, this strike was enough to kill an ordinary half-step Sacred Realm expert!
Sensing the power of this move, many people below showed expressions of fear.
Those confident in competing for the position of guardian soldiers were not weak in cultivation, and among them were skilled individuals in the early stages of the Divine Realm. However, when they saw the man’s move, they all felt powerless.
They knew that if they faced this strike, there would be no chance of survival.
Thinking of this, many began to worry for Billy.
Could he withstand this strike?
Just as the opponent launched his attack, Billy also moved.
This time he didn’t choose to use his knife, but instead activated the fire technique of the Five Elements Secret Arts.
In the next moment, a dragon made of fiery flames coiled above his head.
The temperature of the air around surged by several degrees, and the oppressive aura in the air soared.
“Break!” With a deep voice, the fiery dragon, carrying an overwhelming momentum, collided with the young man’s blade energy.
A loud noise reverberated through the void as the blade energy exploded. The fiery dragon continued its momentum and heavily crashed into the man.
The man spurted blood as he flew backward, then fell onto the platform below in a free-fall motion.
After spitting out another mouthful of blood, he collapsed like a deflated balloon, his face pale, and his breath unusually weak.
With Billy’s current strength, killing a first-rank Sacred Realm expert was a trivial matter, so, of course, this man couldn’t withstand Billy’s attack.
Billy had shown mercy; otherwise, the man wouldn’t have had any chance of survival.
