A deafening roar echoed through the void, causing Asher Guthrie and the elderly man on the other side to simultaneously retreat by a hundred meters.
After the shock wave passed, a huge crater appeared on the ground, with rocks and debris flying in all directions.
With just one move, both sides seemed evenly matched.
“So, you finally showed up!” Asher Guthrie stared solemnly at the other party.
The newcomer was none other than Rode, the person in charge of the Northfortia camp in the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Asher Guthrie could feel that Rode’s strength surpassed his own.
“Greetings, Lord Rode!” Westin Ayala nodded slightly towards Rode.
“Let’s make it quick, a swift battle!” Rode said in a deep voice.
“Understood!” Westin Ayala responded.
“Lord Asher, the space here is limited!” Rode turned to Asher Guthrie.
“Let’s change the location for a fair fight. Life and death are up to fate, agreed?”
Asher Guthrie let out a heavy sigh, knowing he had no choice.
Then, he turned to Tate Guthrie and said, “If you’re lucky enough to survive today, remember what I told you a few days ago!”
“To save the Crimson Flame Empire, we must join forces with Skydragon City!”
Seeing Asher Guthrie’s expression, Tate Guthrie had a bad feeling.
“Everything is predestined. If the Crimson Flame Empire is meant to fall today, then so be it!” Asher Guthrie turned and flew into the air.
At the same time, he shouted loudly in Rode’s direction, “Come on, let’s fight to the death!”
“Good!” Rode responded loudly.
Then, both of them flashed towards the sky several kilometers away.
“Uncle!” Tate Guthrie called out again.
“Don’t bother!” Westin Ayala said to Tate Guthrie.
“He’s no match for Lord Rode. Death is inevitable. I’ll send you to hell first to wait for him!”
“I admit I’m not your match, but it won’t be so easy for you to take my life unscathed!” Tate Guthrie sighed deeply.
“Heh, you overestimate yourself!” Westin Ayala sneered.
“Now, you’re nothing but an ant in front of me!”
As he spoke, a mark shot out from his hand, accompanied by a piercing whistle of wind.
Tate Guthrie frowned and quickly dodged to the side.
“You can’t escape!” Westin Ayala’s eyes narrowed, and his aura surged again.
Then, his hands quickly rotated, forming a blazing sphere several dozen meters in diameter that surged towards Tate Guthrie.
Inside the sphere, heat waves roared while thunder rumbled outside, like a meteor crashing down.
Faced with Westin Ayala’s ultimate move, Tate Guthrie’s face showed unprecedented seriousness, with a hint of despair.
He knew he couldn’t dodge anymore; he had to defend himself with an attack.
However, even if he took the initiative, there was no possibility of blocking it.
With no time for further thought, he took a deep breath and mobilized the last of his power to meet the attack.
Just as he thought he was about to enter the gates of death, a massive wave of energy whizzed past him.
Then, like a small mountain, it crashed heavily into the sphere.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed through the void as the sphere exploded, countless flames surging out in all directions.
Tate Guthrie was blasted hundreds of meters away by the heat wave, coughing up a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.
Already injured, he was now completely powerless.
But fortunately, he was alive.
At the same time, Westin Ayala also flew several hundred meters away after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Who?!” After stabilizing his figure, Westin Ayala looked solemnly towards the void ahead.
At the same time, he was extremely surprised.
Apart from Asher Guthrie, how could there be such a strong person in the Crimson Flame Imperial Family?
“Are you Westin Ayala?” Soon, Billy and others walked over under the escort of Zain Guthrie.
“Is it you?!” Westin Ayala’s pupils slightly contracted as he looked at Billy.
Although he hadn’t seen Billy before, he had seen countless portraits and recognized him at a glance.
No wonder he could easily block his attack and even injure him.
He had heard about Billy’s strength before, though not high in cultivation, he was capable of slaying an eighth-rank Sacred Realm.
“Surprised?” Billy replied indifferently.
After speaking, he turned to Opal and Casey, saying, “Attack, kill the people from Northfortia!”
“Understood!” Everyone responded simultaneously and rushed out towards the surrounding battle.
At this moment, the ministers of the Crimson Flame Empire had been mostly killed, or at least were on the brink of death.
If Billy had arrived a few minutes later, the battle would have been over.
“You’re seeking death!” The Northfortian shouted angrily and charged towards Opal and the others.
Bang…
The scene immediately erupted into a fierce clash.
“Tate, how are you?” Zain Guthrie quickly walked to Tate Guthrie’s side and helped him up.
“Don’t mind me for now. Act quickly, don’t let anyone from Northfortia escape…” Tate Guthrie’s mouth kept overflowing with blood.
As he spoke, he felt slightly relieved.
Since Billy had arrived, there might still be hope for the Crimson Flame Empire to survive this disaster.
“Tate, you should take a rest first!” Zain Guthrie said, then drew his sword and flashed towards the Northfortian.
“How did you get into the Imperial City?” At this moment, Westin Ayala continued to look at Billy.
He really didn’t expect Billy to be in the Imperial City!
He had specifically instructed his subordinates to pay more attention, and if they found out that Billy had come to the Imperial City, they must report it immediately.
But he didn’t expect that today, the other party was already standing in front of him.
“Forbidden Ruins Space knows no nationality or color. The strong are respected,” Billy replied, ignoring his question.
“With your strength, if you stayed in the Crimson Flame Empire as a minister of the Imperial Palace, you and your descendants would have lived very well!”
“I’m really curious, what benefits did the people from Northfortia promise you that made you willingly risk your life for them?”
“Don’t you know that the hearts of people are never satisfied?” Westin Ayala responded in a deep voice.
“Forbidden Ruins Space, with the existence of the Guardian Alliance, no empire can annex the other three empires!”
“And you know better than I do that the outside world is more tempting than the Forbidden Ruins Space, isn’t it?”
“You’ve never been outside the Forbidden Ruins Space. Do you know what the outside world is like?” Billy responded.
“Just hearsay made you stake your fortune and life. Don’t you find it ridiculous?”
“Heh, that’s not the point at all!” Westin Ayala sneered.
