After the blade aura descended, the barrier remained undamaged.
Azure Fang was shaken back by the recoil force for more than ten steps, feeling a tingling sensation in his arm.
“Make way, let me try!” Billy said in a deep voice.
Immediately after, wielding the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, he condensed the ‘Blade Shattering the Sky’ and slashed down.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed through the void, powerful energy waves spreading out, causing Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and others to involuntarily retreat several steps.
At the same time, Billy also took two steps back.
But the entire barrier only shook slightly, showing no sign of damage.
“So strong?” Azure Dragon frowned slightly.
“Billy Boy, let’s attack together!” Opal and Amber spoke at the same time.
“Okay!” Billy nodded in response, activating his bloodline power.
Then, the three of them each unleashed their strongest moves towards the barrier.
With the current strength of the three of them, if they joined forces and exerted all their power, even a ninth-rank Sacred Realm, standing still, would not escape unscathed.
Crack!
As expected, under the assault of the three, the barrier first cracked open a gap.
Shortly after, it completely shattered, dissipating into nothingness.
Then, Billy led everyone charging through the gate.
After entering the courtyard, everyone involuntarily gasped in cold air.
Except for Billy, Casey, Azure Dragon, and a few others who had experienced numerous battles and bloodshed.
Everyone else’s faces showed a hint of astonishment.
Especially Felicia and Frostblade, feeling nauseous and almost vomiting.
The entire courtyard, as far as the eye could see, was littered with limbs and blood, resembling a hell on earth, with screams and roars echoing incessantly.
Judging from the quantity, there were at least two thousand people lying on the ground, all disciples of the Saint Cloud Pavilion could be seen from their clothing.
At the same time, there were two to three dozen people covered in blood, sucking up the blood of those on the ground, a chilling scene.
“What the heck is this? Zombies?” Upon seeing the scene, Stout couldn’t help but exclaim.
While Stout was speaking, several blood-covered individuals near the gate turned and charged towards Billy and the others.
“Boss, kill or not?” Judge asked.
“Kill!” Billy said in a deep voice, gripping his blade to meet them.
The others did not hesitate and followed suit, rushing out.
Infinite blade aura, coupled with the momentum of thunder, flashed in the air, unstoppable and overwhelming.
Though these two to three dozen blood-covered individuals were not weak in cultivation, with the strongest being at the fourth-rank Sacred Realm, they still couldn’t withstand Billy and the others’ blade aura.
In the next moment, heads flew into the sky, and within a few minutes, all thirty people fell down.
“Who are these people? Simply drinking human blood?!” Soul Chaser cursed.
“Boss, there are more over there!” As Soul Chaser’s voice faded, Vermilion Bird, not far away, pointed to the other side of the square.
As their gaze followed his gesture, everyone gasped in cold air once again.
They could see nearly a thousand people lying on the ground on the other side.
Unlike the situation here, the people on the ground over there had no bloodstains.
Shriveled and emaciated, with only skin and bones left, they were barely better than skeletons.
One by one, they lay lifeless on the ground.
“Oh, more live prey!” At that moment, a chilling male voice rang out.
The voice was heard, but the person was unseen!
In the next moment, more than a dozen clusters of black mist enveloped figures and flashed towards Billy and his group, exuding a thick aura of death.
“Looking for death!” Casey said in a deep voice, meeting them with his blade.
“Kill!” Azure Dragon and others naturally had no hesitation, following closely behind.
“Be careful, don’t let them get close!” Billy shouted loudly.
“Understood!” Everyone responded at the same time.
These people were strong in skill, with the strongest among them already at the fifth-rank Sacred Realm, and the weakest at the first-rank Sacred Realm.
Of course, with the current strength of Billy and his group, these people were no match for them.
Several minutes later, more than a dozen people fell one after another.
To everyone’s surprise, after falling, their bodies turned into black mist and dissipated.
“What is this?!” Soul Chaser shouted again.
“It’s so obvious, haven’t you figured it out?” Billy replied.
“What do you mean? Boss, do you know…” Soul Chaser seemed to realize halfway through his sentence.
“Blood and Devil Sects?”
“Exactly!” Casey replied beside him.
“Damn it!” Judge cursed, his face looking very ugly.
The others naturally reacted as well.
The two groups that just attacked, one group was sucking human blood while the other group was absorbing human essence!
Undoubtedly, they were from the Blood Sect and Devil Sect!
“How come there are such sects!” Felicia’s face was slightly pale as she looked around.
“No wonder so many people talked about it with such terror, they are really cruel, they are almost depriving of humanity!”
“If the people of these two sects really go to the outside world, the consequences would be unimaginable!” Frostblade’s face was equally as bad.
“Indeed!” Alex Long nodded.
“The people of Northfortia are despicable, resorting to any means to achieve their goals, they even thought about luring out such sects!”
Azure Dragon, Judge, and the others heaved a sigh, feeling heavy-hearted.
“Didn’t Aubree say last time that the people of the Blood Sect and Devil Sect are still being guarded by the Guardian Alliance?” Amber took a deep breath before speaking.
“Why are there people from these two sects here? Have they breached the defenses?”
“It’s possible that they were already lurking in the Crimson Flame Empire’s territory, or they slipped through the net!” Opal replied thoughtfully.
“Otherwise, there should be more people!”
“True!” Amber nodded.
“Ah…”
At that moment, a heart-wrenching scream came from the back of the courtyard.
This kind of sound was not new to everyone.
The last time they heard it was in the Rainbow Moon Imperial City.
Back then, when Nelson Morris absorbed the essence from Warren Drake, a senior elder of the Five Elements Sect, a similarly tragic scream echoed from the depths of the soul.
Obviously, someone was being drained of their essence.
Upon hearing this sound, Billy quickly activated Phantom Trail and rushed towards the back of the courtyard, with everyone following closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, Billy led the group to an open space at the back of the courtyard.
The scene before them once again made everyone involuntarily gasp in cold air.
Nearly a thousand people were lying on the ground, half with limbs and half with skin and bones, all lifeless.
A hundred meters in front of everyone, a dark mist enveloped two figures, one of whom had just let out the heartbreaking scream.
In addition, not far from the dark mist, stood a man in his fifties or sixties.
Covered in blood, one of his hands holding a bloody head, his eyes cold and his expression ferocious.
Billy could sense that both of the men were at the late stage of the Sacred Realm.
The man holding the head was at the eighth-rank Sacred Realm, while the person in the dark mist had already reached the ninth-rank Sacred Realm!
