Zain Guthrie’s understanding of Billy’s strength was based on the time at the Five Elements Sect. At that time, Billy was only at the late stage of the fourth-rank Sacred Realm. So, in his view, even if Billy could easily kill an eighth-rank Sacred Realm, there would be absolutely no chance against a ninth-rank Realm! If he knew that Billy had now reached the late stage of the fifth-rank Sacred Realm, he wouldn’t know what to think.
Of course, he had heard about what happened at the Saint Cloud Pavilion, knowing that Billy had killed those people from the Blood and Devil Sects. But he was not clear about who from the Blood and Devil Sects had gone to the Saint Cloud Pavilion that day, so naturally, he did not know that Billy had killed a ninth-rank Sacred Realm back then.
“Where is Westin Ayala?” Billy continued to ask.
“When I came here just now, he had already severely injured the prime minister and then went to the palace with his men,” Zain Guthrie responded.
“He should have started by now, so please, Mr Billy…”
“Then let’s go meet him!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” Zain Guthrie was surprised that Billy agreed so readily this time.
Then, they flew towards the direction of the palace.
As Zain Guthrie said, the palace courtyard was now in a fierce battle. In the air, figures flickered, blades and swords clashed, and waves of energy wreaked havoc. Several palaces in the courtyard had already collapsed, and the sounds of screams were incessant.
From the overall situation of the war, the imperial family is obviously at a disadvantage.
On the side of Westin Ayala, apart from him, the high-end combat power includes one seventh-rank, two sixth-rank, two fifth-rank, and three fourth-rank Sacred Realm experts.
Among these people, only half serve in the palace, and the other half have never been seen before.
On the imperial family’s side, apart from the Emperor Tate Guthrie, the high-end combat power consists of one sixth-rank, three fifth-rank, and four fourth-rank Sacred Realm experts.
The overall combat power is weaker than the opponent’s.
Tate Guthrie obviously didn’t expect that Westin Ayala could mobilize such a powerful force!
If he had known this day would come, he would never have allowed the Westerners to grow to the current strength of the Crimson Flame Empire!
However, it was too late to say anything now! At this moment, even though he knew his chances of winning were slim, he could only fight to the death.
The people of Northfortia had been spying on the position of his emperor for more than just a few days. Since the other side had already taken action, today was definitely a fight to the death.
A loud noise rang out, and after Tate Guthrie and Westin Ayala exchanged blows again, their figures separated. Although Tate Guthrie had already broken through to the eighth-rank Sacred Realm, Westin Ayala had already glimpsed the light of the ninth rank, and his strength was obviously higher than Tate Guthrie’s.
After several rounds of exchanges, Tate Guthrie’s defeat was already apparent. Several of his bones were broken, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his breath was in disorder.
In contrast, Westin Ayala had only suffered minor injuries, which had no effect on his strength.
“Emperor, your defeat is certain, surrender!” Westin Ayala looked at Tate Guthrie and spoke loudly.
“The thing I regret most now is saving your life when you were being chased by the people of the Five Elements Sect!” Tate Guthrie responded coldly.
While speaking, he glanced at the battle circles of the others in the air, his expression becoming even uglier.
In just this short time, half of the high-end strength of the imperial family had been lost, and the remaining people were also at the end of their strength. If nothing unexpected happened, the battle would probably not last ten minutes.
He now only had his last hope pinned on his younger brother.
Just an hour ago, when he and Zain Guthrie were discussing matters, they received news that Mr Billy from Skydragon City and his men had arrived at the imperial city.
Upon hearing this news, he did not hesitate at all and immediately sent Zain Guthrie to visit, hoping that Billy could lend a hand.
Although he had never met Billy before, a few days ago, Zain Guthrie had mentioned to him that Billy could kill Mekhi Drake, an eighth-rank Sacred Realm, within three moves.
If Billy agreed to help, there might still be hope to get through this ordeal today.
Otherwise, once today passed, the Crimson Flame Empire would surely change hands!
“Emperor, now is not the time for empty talk!” Westin Ayala responded again.
“You should have anticipated this day long ago. The law of the jungle, the winner takes all, this is an unchanging truth throughout the ages!”
“Since you are the emperor, I will give you a chance to die with dignity and let you die a little more decently!”
“If you want me to die, dream on!” Tate Guthrie snorted coldly. “If you want my life, come and get it yourself!”
“Well then, don’t blame me for being rude!” Westin Ayala sneered. After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to pat down.
At this moment, a surge of energy surged, thunderous and powerful, accompanied by a strong pressure sweeping through the void.
“Hmm?” Westin Ayala’s pupils contracted, and without any hesitation, he quickly dodged to the side.
The energy wave passed by him and directly hit a palace hundreds of meters away, causing it to explode instantly.
“Who is it?” Westin Ayala stabilized his figure and turned to look, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Although he had not seen the person yet, he could tell from the power of that strike just now that the newcomer’s strength was definitely above his.
“All you Northfortia people are a bunch of ungrateful jerks!” A gray-robed elderly man walked over.
“Uncle!” Seeing this person, Tate Guthrie quickly walked over.
“Do you regret not listening to me back then?” the gray-robed elderly named Asher Guthrie asked Tate Guthrie.
“I told you long ago that supporting Northfortian will lead to trouble, but you always thought I was worrying for no reason. Do you see the consequences now?”
“Uncle is right, I was wrong!” Tate Guthrie took a deep breath and responded.
“It’s too late to wake up now!” Asher Guthrie took a look around and exhaled deeply.
Then he looked up at the sky and murmured. “I pray that the heavens will bless my Crimson Flame Empire through this crisis!”
With that, his figure flickered towards Westin Ayala, raising his hand to strike with several powerful gusts of wind.
“Lord Asher, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Just then, another man’s voice
At that moment, another man’s voice sounded.
Shortly after, a nearly substantial wave of air surged forth.
