“Wow, Mr Billy is truly remarkable! So powerful!”
“Yes! I don’t think Mr Billy even exerted his full strength. Otherwise, that guy would’ve been dead by now!”
“With leaders like Mr Billy and Mrs Stuart in Skydragon City, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the most powerful empire in the Forbidden Ruins Space!”
“…”
The crowd below erupted into a chorus of admiration.
Many of them were wandering cultivators who had come out of curiosity. This was the first time they had seen Billy make a move, and their eyes were filled with admiration.
At thirty years old, possessing the strength to kill someone in the Sacred Realm, there was no one else like him in the entire history of the Forbidden Ruins world.
They came to Skydragon City to find a place to settle down and also to witness Billy’s prowess.
And indeed, they were not disappointed!
“You’ve lost!”
After landing on the platform, Billy strolled towards the man.
“I’ve lost!”
After catching his breath, the man struggled to get up from the ground.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he continued, “You… you’re truly strong. I admit defeat…”
As he spoke, a look of extreme pain flashed across his face. His breath fluctuated, unstable, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
“Your skills are superior. I acknowledge that. I apologize for the disturbance. Farewell…”
After saying this, he walked painfully towards the edge of the platform, eager to find a place to suppress his injuries.
“With your current condition, you won’t last half an hour before your injuries become irreparable. There will be no turning back then!” Billy spoke again.
The technique the man used to forcibly enhance his cultivation clearly wasn’t orthodox and had severe repercussions on his body.
Perhaps he could have endured it without injury before, but now, with injuries, it was adding insult to injury.
“I know…” the man spoke again, blood constantly flowing from his mouth, looking precarious.
He naturally understood his situation. He had prepared for the worst before coming today.
Before he could finish his words, Billy flicked his wrist, and three strands of finger winds entered the man’s body.
“What are you doing…”
After uttering these words, the man widened his eyes. He could feel that with Billy’s three strands of wind entering his body, the counterforce inside him was clearly being suppressed.
Without replying to the man, Billy raised his hand towards him, and immediately, the man floated up into the air.
Then, Billy once again sent out more than a dozen strands of finger winds towards the man’s body, all of which entered his body.
A few minutes later, Billy swept out a palm wind to support the man as he landed back on the platform.
Then, Billy quickly approached the man and placed his hand on his back, channeling Chi power into his body with the Heart Sutra of the Azure Void.
“What is Mr Billy doing? Is he healing him?”
“Apparently! I heard that not only is Mr Billy unmatched in martial arts, but his medical skills are also unparalleled!”
“Is it true? That’s too incredible!”
“…”
There was another round of discussion below the platform.
After a while, Billy exhaled heavily and withdrew his hand.
“You should be fine now. Meditate and circulate your Chi for a while, and you should be almost recovered.”
“Thank you!” After taking a deep breath, the man sat cross-legged.
About ten minutes later, he stood up and bowed to Billy again. “Thank you once again for saving my life!”
“It’s nothing.” Billy waved his hand. “You may leave.”
The next moment, without warning, the man knelt down before Billy.
“If Mr Billy doesn’t mind, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you!”
“I don’t keep people of unknown origin by my side,” Billy said calmly.
“Mr Billy, I…” The man took a deep breath.
Then, after glancing around under the ring, he looked at Billy and continued, “Mr Billy, may I have a word with you?”
“Follow me!” Billy said again and walked down from the ring.
“Thank you!” The man got up and followed him.
“Mr Thompson, Elder Isaac, you’ve worked hard during this time!” Billy approached under the ring and spoke to Marquise Thompson and Issac Herring.
“Mr Billy, you are too kind!” The two bowed in response. “It’s our duty!”
“Moreover, Mrs Stuart has been a great help. She has much more experience than us. Since she arrived, many things have been much more efficient!”
“You flatter us!” Stephanie Stuart smiled gently. “I just wish I haven’t caused any trouble for you!”
“Ma’ma, you’re too modest!” The two men replied respectfully.
“Mr Billy, if all goes well, the selection of the hundred thousand guards should be settled in half a month,” Marquise Thompson said to Billy.
“But the difference in strength among them is significant; the overall combat power is probably still far from your expectations, Mr Billy!”
“No worries!” Billy responded, “You two just need to handle the selection. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Understood!” The two nodded simultaneously.
After chatting for a while longer, Billy left with Casey and others, while Stephanie Stuart stayed at the scene.
Twenty minutes later, Billy and his group returned to the manor.
“Honey, I heard someone challenged you, are you okay?”
At this moment, Harleen, Ivy, and others had just finished their practice and stepped out of the Gathering Spirit Array, coming to rest on the front lawn.
As Harleen spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to the man in the blue shirt.
“I’m fine!” Billy replied with a light smile.
“Boss, who is this?” Bob asked Billy.
“I don’t know,” Billy shrugged.
“What do you mean?” Bob was puzzled.
“He is here to challenge the Boss!” Judge chimed in.
“He started off all high and mighty but got taught a lesson by the Boss. Now he’s yelling about wanting to stay and serve the Boss.”
“Really?”
Bob and the others looked skeptically at the man in the blue shirt.
Challenging the Boss? What was he thinking!
The man in the blue shirt twitched his mouth, unsure how to respond.
“Tell me, what was your purpose in coming to see me today?” Billy looked at him and spoke indifferently.
After a brief pause, pointing to Harleen and Casey among others, he added.
“They are my family; you can speak freely.”
The man in blue let out a heavy sigh.
Then, he bowed deeply to Billy.
“Desmond Henderson, pleased to meet you, Mr Billy!”
