Perla Beasley gritted her teeth and used her remaining 70-80% of strength to block the attack.
However, with injuries on her body, it was even less likely for her to withstand Max Castillo’s assault.
Bang!
After a muffled sound, she was sent flying hundreds of meters away again, blood gushing from her mouth, and her combat power dropped to less than 60%.
“Boss!” Just as Max Castillo made his move, Abby Meskill shouted loudly.
“You can’t take her without my consent!” Billy’s voice echoed at the same time.
As he spoke, a surge of spiritual power emanated, forming a barrier that enveloped everyone.
“Damn it!” The middle-aged woman cursed, gripping her sword and sending a sword intent towards the barrier.
However, it had no effect; the barrier only wavered slightly but showed no signs of damage.
“Attack together!” Another woman shouted.
“Okay!” The other women responded, unleashing their strongest powers towards the same direction, sending out sword energy.
The result was clear; the barrier remained as solid as a rock.
“Who… who are you?” Perla Beasley spat out blood and looked at Billy.
“It doesn’t matter who I am!” Billy replied, “What’s important is that Abby is my friend, and you can’t take her!”
“You…” Perla Beasley’s face turned sour.
Though she only sensed a half-step Sacred Realm cultivation from Billy, the strength of the barrier indicated that Billy’s combat power was at least second-rank Sacred Realm. Otherwise, her people wouldn’t be unable to break the barrier.
The only relief for her was that Billy meant no harm to Abby Meskill, which eased her worries slightly.
“Young man, since you’re so eager to die, let me put you to death!” Max Castillo looked at Billy and spoke with a deep voice.
He glanced at the barrier in the air, knowing that Abby Meskill and her group couldn’t escape for the moment, so he wasn’t in a rush to attack them.
He held deep hatred towards Billy for killing so many elders from Slaydragon Sect, determined to make Billy suffer.
“Is that so?” Billy glanced at him.
“Your sect is named Slaydragon Sect, let’s see if you have the power to slay a dragon!”
As he spoke, his aura soared, and he activated his Chi power, forming Dragon Soaring Skies.
In the next moment, nine divine dragons spiraled in the void, creating a shocking formation.
“You’ll soon see if I have that power!” Max Castillo’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the nine divine dragons.
However, he was now at the third-rank Sacred Realm and naturally wasn’t afraid of Billy.
He narrowed his eyes, and with his hands in the air, he created countless afterimages, instantly forming a large axe, surrounded by thunder.
As both of them launched their attacks, the oppressive aura in the void escalated several times. Perla Beasley was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
“Young man, meet your doom!”
With a roar from Max Castillo, the massive axe, carrying overwhelming energy, slashed towards Billy.
“Boss, be careful!” Abby Meskill shouted from within the barrier.
Her understanding of Billy was still based on a few months ago. In her estimation, even if Billy’s progress was fast, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a third-rank Sacred Realm. Worry filled her face.
“Is a third-rank Sacred Realm expert strong?” Billy replied lightly, “How naive!”
In the next moment, the nine divine dragons merged into one, roaring towards the incoming attack like a true dragon, with an overwhelming momentum.
A loud noise echoed through the void, stirring up air waves that shattered the surrounding mountains, rocks, and trees as if a heavy explosive had gone off.
Perla Beasley, hundreds of meters away, was once again thrown back by the residual air waves, her face pale, and her breath even weaker.
At the same time, the barrier covering Abby Meskill and others was torn open by the impact of the air waves.
Fortunately, with the barrier as a buffer, those inside were not heavily impacted.
In the next moment, Max Castillo shot out like a cannonball, smashing a large pit into the hard mountain before collapsing inside it.
His face was as white as wax, his breath exceptionally weak, and fresh blood kept flowing from his mouth.
Although he still had a breath left, death was not far away.
Witnessing this scene, including Perla Beasley and Abby Meskill, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with endless shock.
Just one move, and they had disabled a third-rank Sacred Realm expert?
Most importantly, Billy was just a young man at the half-step Sacred Realm!
If it hadn’t been seen with their own eyes, who would believe it?!
“How… how is this possible?” After a long while, Max Castillo said despairingly.
His shock was even greater than that of Perla Beasley and the others, since he could clearly feel that Billy’s move just now hadn’t exerted full power.
Otherwise, he would have been dead by now!
“Billy Boy!”
“Boss!”
“…”
Just then, Opal, Harleen, and others flew to Billy’s side.
“White Tiger, watch him, don’t let him die!” Billy pointed in Max Castillo’s direction.
“Got it!” White Tiger replied before flashing towards Max Castillo’s position.
Then, Billy and the others landed on the ground below.
At the same time, the middle-aged woman from the Purple Cloud Sect smashed a hole in the damaged barrier and landed in the air beside Perla Beasley with a group of people.
“Abby, are you okay?” Opal walked towards Abby Meskill.
“Opal, I’m fine, how about you and Amber?” Abby Meskill responded.
“We’re fine too.” Opal paused before continuing, “Who are they?”
“Everyone, let me introduce myself first.” Without waiting for Opal’s response, Perla Beasley spoke to Billy and the others.
“We are from the Purple Cloud Sect. I am Perla Beasley, the elder of the Purple Cloud Sect, and they are all my fellow sect members.”
“Our sect leader learned that people from Slaydragon Sect had captured the young lady and knew they must have ill intentions, so he specially ordered us to come and rescue her.”
“Young lady?” Azure Dragon was taken aback. “Do you mean Abby is your young lady?”
“Exactly!” Perla Beasley nodded.
“Are you kidding?” Azure Dragon was stunned again.
“Abby is the young lady of the Glavale Meskill family. When did she become the young lady of your Purple Cloud Sect?”
“They’ve got the wrong person!” Abby Meskill spoke up at the same time.
“Young lady, I know this is a bit sudden for you, but this is indeed the truth.” Perla Beasley responded.
“You should at least present some convincing evidence, shouldn’t you?” Vermilion Bird spoke up.
“Enough!” Perla Beasley sighed.
“Originally, I shouldn’t be the one to say this, but if I don’t, young lady, you will find it hard to believe us.”
After saying this, she took a deep breath and looked at Abby Meskill.
“Young lady, have you heard the name Emmalee Meskill?”
