Meanwhile, the main area of Desire City had descended into extreme chaos, with screams and roars echoing continuously.
As Desire City had no city walls, the members of the Blood and Devil Sects easily infiltrated the city, numbering around four to five thousand in total.
Both sects were known for their brutal methods, leaving no survivors in their wake.
When news spread throughout the main area of the city, the common people hurriedly tried to escape to the outskirts.
However, they soon discovered that the major exits were guarded by members of the Blood and Devil Sects.
Though these were just low-level lackeys, to ordinary people, they were like demons, mercilessly slaughtering those who were unfortunate enough to be at the forefront.
Others could only retreat back into the main area of the city and then rushed towards the location of the Wind Rain Sect, hoping that perhaps only they had the ability to protect their lives.
Faced with this situation, it was natural for the Wind Rain Sect not to turn them away.
However, there were simply too many people, and the sect’s main courtyard couldn’t accommodate them all.
The current situation was that the Wind Rain Sect united with all the other sects in Desire City to form an alliance.
With the Wind Rain Sect’s main courtyard as the center, a refuge center with a radius of about thirty kilometers was established, surrounded by martial practitioners.
However, this was only a temporary measure.
The Wind Rain Sect was the strongest sect in Desire City, but even within the sect, the most powerful individuals were only at the second-rank Sacred Realm.
Among the attackers from the Blood and Devil Sects, there were nearly ten individuals at the Sacred Realm.
Among them, three or four had cultivation at the mid stage of the Sacred Realm, and their leader was even at the sixth-rank Sacred Realm.
Furthermore, not only in terms of high-level combat power but also in terms of mid-to-low-level combat power, the Wind Rain Sect and other sects were not on the same level as the Blood and Devil Sects.
If there was no support, it wouldn’t take long for Desire City to completely fall!
“Grandfather, did the Wind Rain Sect seek help from the Ice Cloud Empire?” Clare Walkley, covered in wounds, asked her grandfather Boyce Walkley near a small park.
This area was under their responsibility as part of their medicinal shop and was not too far from their location.
They had just experienced a fierce battle, with forty to fifty bodies lying on the ground.
Among them, thirty to forty were from their medicinal shop, while a few others were from the Blood Sect.
At this point in the battle, only about ten people remained from their medicinal shop, including Boyce Walkley. Each person had varying degrees of injuries.
On the other hand, even though there were only about a dozen members left from the Blood Sect, their combat power was clearly superior to Boyce Walkley and his group.
At this moment, the remaining ten members of the Blood Sect were enjoying their spoils and completely disregarding Boyce Walkley and his group.
“I’m not sure!” Boyce Walkley let out a sigh. “Even if they send a distress signal, it’s probably too late.”
After speaking, he took a deep breath and turned to a man standing beside him.
“Tom, I’ll hold them off for a while. You take Clare and the others and leave!”
“No!” Clare Walkley shouted. “I’m not leaving. I want to stay with you, Grandfather!”
“Staying here won’t make any difference…” Boyce Walkley continued speaking.
“Grandfather, you should know that even if we escape from here, we won’t have a chance to survive today.” Clare Walkley interrupted him.
“We’re going to fight them. We’re going to kill as many as we can before we die!”
“Let’s fight!” The others shouted in unison.
“Heh, you really don’t know any better. You few insects think you have what it takes to fight us?” The leader of the Blood Sect sneered as he wiped his blood-stained mouth.
“You will all die!” Clare Walkley cursed angrily.
“Heh, even if that day comes, you won’t be able to see it!” The man grinned.
After speaking, he looked at his companions and waved his hand. “That’s enough. Let’s deal with them first!”
“Understood!” Several members of the Blood Sect responded simultaneously.
Then one by one, they assumed their positions and charged towards Boyce Walkley and his group.
“Grandfather, I’ll be your granddaughter in my next life!” Clare Walkley shouted before charging forward.
Boyce Walkley opened his mouth but tears welled up in his eyes. He had something to say but ultimately remained silent.
Afterward, he and the remaining few rushed towards their opponents with a resolute look in their eyes.
Everyone knew very well that their lives had reached their end.
Just as they faced their opponents with a determination to die in battle, a blood-red blade aura flashed through the air like lightning.
After the blade aura passed, several members of the Blood Sect at the forefront had their heads sent flying into the air, blood spurting like fountains.
“Hmm?!”
Witnessing this scene, everyone turned their heads towards the sky.
Then they saw Billy and his group appearing within their line of sight.
“Mr Billy?!”
Recognizing Billy, Boyce Walkley immediately called out.
Clare Walkley and others naturally recognized Billy as well. Their faces lit up with joy.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you kill members of my Blood Sect…” The leader of the Blood Sect angrily roared as he flew towards Billy and his group.
Before he could finish speaking, a blade aura swept past him, sending his head soaring into the sky as well.
“Run!”
The remaining few members of the Blood Sect no longer had the courage to stay and quickly fled towards the rear.
However, before they could take more than a few steps, they all fell down lifelessly.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Mr Billy!” Boyce Walkley quickly approached Billy and bowed deeply.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” The others also bowed respectfully.
“Elder Boyce, there’s no need for such formalities!” Billy swept out a gust of wind and lifted Boyce Walkley up.
“You go back to our shop with them and tend to your injuries. Don’t come out for now,” Billy instructed.
“Yes!” Boyce Walkley nodded. “Thank you again, Mr Billy!”
“Don’t mention it. It’s just a small matter.”
After speaking, Billy led Casey and others towards Medicine Hall in mid-air.
As Boyce Walkley had mentioned earlier, Medicine Hall was indeed where the main battle between Blood and Devil Sects and Desire City was taking place.
At this moment, including the Medicine Hall building itself, everything within a radius of several thousand meters had turned into ruins.
Both sides were engaged in fierce combat-or rather, it was more accurate to say that it was completely one-sided.
The ground was littered with bodies, with most of them belonging to members of Desire City.
Severed limbs lay scattered about while blood flowed like rivers. The survivors appeared emaciated and twisted with horrifying expressions-a truly shocking sight.
Since the battle began, at most four to five hundred low-level members of the Blood and Devil Sects had died. In contrast, Desire City had lost at least ten times that number with thousands more severely injured.
The difference in strength between both sides was simply too vast. Desire City had no chance of resistance whatsoever.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Desire City became a living hell on earth.
At this moment, a loud noise resounded through the air.
Sect Master and Vice Master of Wind Rain Sect were sent flying backward in mid-air. Two streaks of blood trailed behind them.
Then both individuals fell heavily onto the ground like free-falling objects. They coughed up blood once again before collapsing weakly-having narrowly escaped death.
“Mr Barry, I’ll give you one last chance: submit or die?” The leader of the Blood Sect approached them from mid-air and spoke indifferently not far away.
