Facing the attacks of the old man, Billy put up his guard.
With a slight squint of his eyes, he urged full strength to condense into the ‘Celestial Black Finger’ and met it head-on.
After the collision of their attacks, Billy floated out like a falling leaf, a trail of blood floating in mid-air.
After flying out a kilometer and crashing into the outer wall of a building, the building collapsed with a loud rumble.
“Boss!”
Seeing this scene, Casey, Azure Dragon, and the others exclaimed and hurried over.
“In your next life, remember not to be so ignorant!”
After taking a glance at Billy’s direction, the black-robed elder turned and flashed towards the battle circle of Opal and the other two. At this time the eighth-rank Sacred Realm expert, with numerous injuries, several ribs broken, and blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
His battle strength was now less than fifty percent!
If it weren’t for Billy’s instructions to spare his life, Opal would have already killed him.
“Old man, make your move and kill them!”
Seeing the black-robed elder flashing over, the eighth-rank Sacred Realm man shouted loudly.
“You go rest for a bit!” the black-robed elder replied.
At that moment, a palm wind surged towards Opal and her companion.
“Amber, be careful!” Opal shouted as she wielded a curved sword in her hand to meet the attack.
After a loud noise, Opal retreated a hundred meters but was unharmed.
The black-robed elder, after exchanging a move with Opal, also retreated several tens of meters.
“I underestimated you!” After stabilizing his figure, the black-robed elder said to Opal.
He didn’t expect Opal to possess such battle strength, a sixth-rank Sacred Realm cultivator being able to force him back so far.
“Amber, go and check on Billy Boy!” Opal didn’t respond to the black-robed elder.
“He is a ninth-rank Sacred Realm practitioner, we should join forces…” Amber responded.
“It’s okay, he can’t harm me!” Opal replied. “You go check on Billy Boy to see how he is doing.”
With her battle strength, using the Phantom Trail, even if she couldn’t surpass a ninth-rank Sacred Realm, she could at least stand firm.
“You be careful yourself!”
After Amber responded, she didn’t linger and turned to hurry towards Billy’s direction.
“Hmph! Ignorant brat, watch how I deal with you!”
The black-robed elder huffed coldly, his aura rising, and then flashed towards Opal like a phantom.
At the same time, two powerful winds emerged, and in the blink of an eye, they reached Opal.
However, to his surprise, just as he thought he was about to succeed, there was only a lingering afterimage left.
After a momentary pause, the elder made another move. With a twist of his eyes, he raised his hand and unleashed a dozen attacks.
Opal continued to avoid the elder’s attacks by using the Phantom Trail and not engaging in direct confrontation.
“Let’s see how you dodge!”
After a few minutes, the elder shouted in anger, and his aura rose once again.
Next moment, as his hands kept turning, countless shadowy handprints appeared in mid-air and surrounded Opal.
Following that, the endless shadowy handprints pummeled towards Opal in their respective trajectories.
Opal didn’t anticipate this move and her pupils shrank slightly.
Without much time to think, she immediately activated her power to create the ‘Sword Roaring Across Heaven and Earth,’ unleashing countless sword strokes in mid-air.
The collision of the sword strokes and the shadowy handprints produced a muffled sound.
Afterwards, a hundred-meter-long phantom sword broke through and headed straight towards the black-robed elder.
However, just as the sword was about ten meters away from the elder, it exploded and dissipated in an instant.
A strong airstream sent Opal flying back two to three hundred meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
However, the black-robed elder apparently had no intention of giving up. After being pushed back by the airflow for several tens of meters, he flashed out again.
The skeletal image appeared once again in mid-air and then rushed towards Opal.
By this time, Opal already had some injuries and her speed was significantly reduced.
Unable to dodge, she could only enhance her defensive aura with Chi power and swing several curved sword strokes to meet the attack.
However, the sword strokes were fragile in front of the elder’s assault and vanished before reaching the phantom skeletal figure.
Just as Opal was about to fall into a desperate situation, a surge of energy containing an overwhelming force approached.
The skeleton image instantly exploded like paper mache, and the forceful airstream hit the black-robed elder directly in the chest.
After spitting out a large mouthful of blood, the elder shot out like a cannonball.
Crashing through the courtyard wall a kilometer away and landing on the mountainside, tumbling a few somersaults before coming to a stop.
With just that move, his bones and meridians were at least one-third broken, and his battle strength was only fifty percent.
“How… how is this possible, you… you not only didn’t die, but also broke through?”
After pausing slightly and crawling up from the ground with a shocked expression, he looked towards Billy who was walking towards him.
“Can’t figure it out?” Billy replied faintly.
For him, he could have easily avoided the elder’s attacks but chose to face him head-on, evidently to push himself to the limit.
With the help of the elder, he had broken through without any suspense from being half a step into the fifth-rank Sacred Realm to the sixth-rank Sacred Realm now.
Thus, under full strength, delivering a heavy blow to the opponent was more than natural.
“How are you, old man?”
At this moment, the eighth-rank Sacred Realm man approached the black-robed elder and inquired.
“I might be done for today,” the black-robed elder said as he glanced at Billy and then turned to the man.
After a slight pause, he changed the topic. “You can rest assured, I will avenge you!”
“What do you mean?” The eighth-rank Sacred Realm man’s face changed slightly after a moment of confusion. “Old man, what are you trying to do…”
“Ah…” Before the man could finish speaking, he let out a hysterical scream.
The black-robed elder placed his hand on the man’s head, continuously transferring his essence into the man’s body.
Although the man tried to escape, he was unable to move at all.
Billy stood by and watched as the scene unfolded.
Thud!
After around two to three minutes, the black-robed elder threw the skinny eighth-rank Sacred Realm man on the ground.
The eighth-rank Sacred Realm opened his mouth but couldn’t speak a word. His legs gave out, showing a face full of anger.
“Are you finished?” Billy gazed at the black-robed elder and said casually.
“Since you’re done, make your move! As long as you can withstand my attack, I will let you leave!”
