“Even if their leader isn’t present, their second in command are all second-rank Holy Realm,” Judge said again.
“If only one comes, it wouldn’t be a big problem. But if two come at once, Boss, can you handle it?”
“No!” Billy shook his head decisively.
“Alright,” Judge sighed and asked, “Boss, is the defensive array of Skydragon City really not ready yet?”
“Not so fast!” Billy replied. “Setting up such a large array with my current skills takes a lot of time!”
When he unified Extreme City, he spent a lot of manpower and resources to build the main city’s walls. It wasn’t just a whim.
It wasn’t just for regulating the entry and exit of people as he had said back then.
In fact, he had a plan in mind from the beginning.
He wanted to build a city and set up a defensive array around it to prevent foreign invasions.
At that time, the foreign enemies he referred to were naturally the four great empires!
But he didn’t expect that within just a year, so many things would happen, and the four empires would ally with Skydragon City.
Now, the foreign enemies had become the more powerful Blood Sect and Devil Sect!
So, this raised higher requirements for the defensive array!
Previously, Ivy was there to help him, but now he had to rely entirely on himself, so it naturally took longer!
“How much longer will it take?” Judge continued to ask.
“If I put my heart and soul into it, another month or so should do it!” Billy thought for a moment before replying.
“If the array is completed, what level of…” Judge began to ask again.
“They’re here!” Billy interrupted him.
“They’re here?” Judge was slightly taken aback. “Where?”
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt an overwhelming pressure coming towards him, making him feel suffocated.
Then, he saw ten figures flying towards them from a distance.
Leading them were an elderly man and woman whose actual ages were indiscernible.
But from their aura, it was clear they were genuine Holy Realm experts.
Besides them, there was one first-rank Holy Realm, one half-step into Holy Realm, two ninth-rank Sacred Realm, and four eighth-rank Sacred Realm individuals.
“Boss, can you sense the cultivation of the two leaders?” Judge asked Billy.
“They are both late-stage second-rank Holy Realm!” Billy replied. “Congratulations, you guessed right. They really sent two second in command!”
Judge was at a loss for words.
He wanted to slap himself. He really jinxed it!
“Boss, what should we do?” Judge hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Should we retreat?”
“Where to retreat?” Billy countered.
Judge opened his mouth but had no answer.
Behind them were millions of Skydragon City residents!
They were the first and last line of defense; there was no retreat!
“Are you Mr Billy of Skydragon City?”
At this moment, the ten people stopped about five hundred meters away. The elderly man with a ruddy complexion spoke.
“You must be the Right Protector of Blood Sect?” Billy looked at him. “State your name!”
“Jonah Fuller,” the old man replied indifferently.
“And you?” Billy turned to the old woman.
“Devil Sect’s second in command, Alma Delaney,” she answered just as indifferently.
“You both are late-stage second-rank Holy Realm experts!” Billy continued. “Did you really need to lure my Skydragon City people away before making a move? Are you that lacking in confidence?”
“Mr Billy, no need for modesty!” Jonah Fuller responded. “From what I know, anyone who underestimated you is now dead!”
“Including many elders from our Blood and Devil Sects who died because they underestimated your strength!”
“Heh, you think highly of me?” Billy chuckled.
“Better safe than sorry,” Jonah Fuller replied again.
“Alright!” Billy shrugged. “Tell me, what’s your purpose? Is it my life, control over Skydragon City, or something else?”
“If Mr Billy cooperates, neither you nor the millions behind you need to die,” Alma Delaney said.
“Really?” Billy asked. “How do I cooperate?”
“Mr Billy just needs to let me seal your powers and come with us,” Alma Delaney replied.
“Where to?” Billy pursued.
“You’ll know when you come with us,” Alma Delaney answered.
“You made such a big move today. You must want more than just control over Skydragon City and the three great empires?” Billy continued looking at them. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re also interested in something inside me?”
He had already guessed most of it.
The old master wanted him to return to Ether Mountain to prevent the outside world from facing total destruction.
So, the news that he had the ‘Spiritual Line Origin’ must have reached the ears of Blood and Devil Sects.
Their sudden attack today was undoubtedly also aimed at the Spiritual Line Origin besides taking over the Forbidden Ruins Space.
“Hehe, Mr Billy is smart; some things don’t need to be said,” Alma Delaney replied again.
“What if I don’t cooperate?” Billy glanced at them.
“Then we’ll see who’s stronger!” Alma Delaney’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.
“But I don’t think that’s what Mr Billy wants.”
“Because no matter how strong you are, you can’t survive against the ten of us.”
“Of course, we know Skydragon City has an army of a hundred thousand guards, but you should know that such ants are useless even if there are millions.”
“Heh, you seem very confident!” Billy smiled faintly.
“In that case, let me face you two protectors!”
“As you wish!” Alma Delaney responded coldly.
“Boss, are you confident?” Judge asked Billy.
“We’ll see!” Billy replied and instructed, “Go release it and see how it works, then retreat into the city!”
“Boss, be careful!” Judge responded and didn’t insist on staying.
He knew very well that with his strength, staying would only be a burden to Boss.
Soon after, Judge arrived at the west gate and opened the lid of a wooden box there.
Inside lay a ‘bamboo section man’ over a meter tall!
This was naturally one of Billy’s recent creations and his most satisfying work. Today was the perfect time to test it out!
Then, a wave of spiritual power surged from Billy’s forehead and entered the ‘bamboo section man.’
The bamboo section man quickly rushed towards Billy and the others with a bamboo sword in hand.
The opponents were at a loss for words
Seeing Billy bring out a ‘bamboo section man’ at this time left all ten people bewildered and twitching at the corners of their mouths.
‘Are you kidding?’
