“Huh?” At this moment, Billy had already arrived not far from him in mid-air.
Feeling the change in his aura, he couldn’t help but frown, his face showing a serious expression.
At this moment, he finally understood what Nelson Morris relied on!
“You really surprised me, actually practicing such a crooked and evil secret technique!” Billy looked at Nelson Morris and said.
Although he didn’t see Warren Drake’s current state, he could guess from Warren Drake’s scream earlier.
He had encountered the method of absorbing others’ essence to enhance cultivation back in the Polar Domain.
Back then, the Lord of Mysthaven City, Reit, cultivated this secret method.
At that time, Reit spread a rumor about the inheritance of a strong one in order to quickly break through to the Divine Realm, attracting nearly a thousand people to Black Phoenix City outside the city to treasure hunt.
Later, with Billy’s intervention, Reit failed, otherwise none of those thousand warriors at that time might have escaped Reit’s clutches.
Billy didn’t expect to see this kind of secret method again here.
“No matter if it’s crooked or evil, as long as it can enhance cultivation, it’s a good technique, isn’t it?” Nelson Morris also didn’t rush to make a move.
“Otherwise, how could I have raised my cultivation to a level beyond your reach in just a few months?”
“Heh, do you think I would believe that relying solely on this kind of secret method, you could go from the seventh-rank Divine Realm to the late stage of the fourth-rank Sacred Realm in a few months?” Billy smiled lightly.
He knew very well that this method of enhancing power by extracting the essence of others could not be unrestrained.
There must be more to Nelson Morris’ rapid cultivation improvement.
“If I guess correctly, you should have accepted someone’s inheritance first, right?” Billy continued.
“That inheritance allowed your cultivation to make a rapid advancement in a very short time, likely stepping into the Sacred Realm overnight.”
“And in that inheritance, there happens to be this method of extracting others’ essence, so you…”
His words were cut off halfway.
Because, at this moment, Nelson Morris became extremely fierce.
His pupils instantly turned all red, veins bulging on his forehead, face pale and lips purple, his blood vessels expanded more than twice as usual.
At the same time, a very cold aura emanated from him, shrouded in mist, even Billy couldn’t help but shiver.
After a couple of minutes, his eyes, now crimson, stared at Billy and spoke.
“Kid, your blood smells very tempting, give it to me quickly!”
At this point, his voice had turned into that of a very hoarse old man, like a demon from hell, completely different from the usual Nelson Morris.
“Huh?” Hearing the other party’s voice, Billy frowned.
In his mind, he also thought of the old man’s soul sealed inside his body.
Without unexpected events, Nelson Morris underwent such a change, likely having a strong soul inside him, and that soul might have already taken control of Nelson Morris’s body.
“Who are you?” Billy frowned again and asked in a deep voice.
“If you want to know who I am, just give me your blood, and I’ll tell you, deal?” the other party responded.
“If you want my blood, come and take it yourself!” Billy replied coldly.
“Good!”
With that, he rushed towards Billy like a ghost with a mist accompanying him.
At the same time, a gust of black flames containing violent energy whistled out, heading straight towards Billy.
Billy frowned, drew out his fierce knife and met the attack with several arcing blade edges.
Their attacks collided, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, Billy flew back hundreds of meters.
With just a casual move, he knew that the other party’s strength was far above the previous Nelson Morris who had yet to break through.
Before he could catch his breath, the opponent attacked again, still with waves of black energy.
This time, Billy dodged instead of directly confronting him, evading the onslaught.
“Just evading isn’t a solution!” the hoarse voice rang out again.
As the voice fell, the movements of his hands accelerated, fists alternately striking out, black energy waves swept through the void, rampant everywhere.
After putting away his fierce knife and dodging the attacks, Billy raised his hand to strike with palm winds.
However, the onslaught from the opponent was too intense. In less than two minutes, Billy was hit several times, his breath becoming extremely chaotic.
“Alright, I’m done playing cat and mouse with you!”
Soon after, the attacks stopped, but his aura continued to rise.
In the blink of an eye, it soared to its peak, and the pressure around him also increased.
Then, a black mist exploded from his body.
Following that, six illusory figures wrapped around him, gaunt and hideous, emitting eerie cackles incessantly.
“Take this blow, and I’ll spare your life!” the opponent spoke in a deep voice.
As he spoke, the six figures gathered in the void in front of him.
Then, like a magic trick, they combined into a large phantom figure.
Equally grim and hideous, emitting a strong smell of death, like a demon crawling out of hell, surrounded by a thick aura of death.
The phantom figure let out a chilling laughter and lunged at Billy with a terrifying momentum.
Before the opponent launched the attack, Billy naturally didn’t stand still. He exerted all his strength and condensed into Dragon Soaring Skies.
Soon, the nine divine dragons merged into one, letting out a dragon roar before rushing toward the opponent’s attack.
The giant divine dragon and the shadow demon exploded at the same time, the sky filled with a deafening roar like thunder, shaking the heavens.
The small hill below was directly turned into nothingness, causing the entire void to tremble.
Not far away, Opal, Amber, and others who were fighting couldn’t help but look over, their faces showing a serious expression.
And on the ground several kilometers away, some of the Imperial Guards who were watching also flew out.
Some of the lower-cultivated ones fell to the ground with bleeding seven orifices, without a hint of breath.
At the same time, Billy spurted out a large mouthful of blood and floated out like a leaf, flying two kilometers away.
Then, he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he adjusted his posture in mid-air and stopped after retreating thirty steps upon landing.
Blood continued to flow from his mouth, his face pale, his breath extremely weak.
Taking one blow, he was heavily injured!
