“We don’t know yet!” Marquise Thompson shook his head.
“Most likely, the heads of the two sects will personally lead the attack this time!” Billy took a deep breath and continued.
“A month ago, we killed three protectors from the two sects. They should be well aware of our strength.”
“Since they are attacking again, they will undoubtedly bring their top fighters!”
“Mr Billy, do you know the cultivation level of their leaders?” Marquise Thompson also took a deep breath and asked.
“I’m not exactly sure!” Billy shook his head. “But both should be at least mid-Holy Realm!”
“And, if nothing unexpected happens, each sect should have a Vice Master with at least third-rank Holy Realm strength!”
Marquise Thompson couldn’t help but gasp.
Casey and Azure Dragon looked equally serious, each feeling a chill in their hearts.
Such strength was intimidating just to hear about!
And the worst part was, the old man inside the Boss had disappeared at this critical moment!
Otherwise, with his strength, killing one or two mid-Holy Realm experts would be no problem!
But now, he was gone…
Just thinking about it made them feel helpless!
“City Lord, should we send a message to the four empires?” Marquise Thompson looked at Stephanie Stuart and asked.
“No need. Even if they come to support us, their strength won’t make much difference.” Stephanie Stuart shook her head slightly.
After a brief pause, she turned to Edie Fennimore. “Edie, there’s still time. Go with Elder Marquise and arrange for the citizens to evacuate Skydragon City.”
“Have the guards escort them temporarily to Sheardal Empire and Rainbow Moon Empire.”
“Alright!” Edie Fennimore and Marquise Thompson responded in unison and left.
“Billy, can we activate the city’s defensive array?” After they left, Stephanie Stuart looked at Billy and asked.
“We can, but it’s not fully ready.” Billy nodded.
“Even someone who doesn’t understand arrays but has mid-Holy Realm strength can forcefully break through!”
“No matter, activate it. Even if it buys us some time, it’s worth it!” Stephanie Stuart frowned slightly.
“Okay!” Billy stood up as he spoke.
“Mom, go instruct the Skydragon Dark Guard to divide into four groups and guard the four city gates. Also, have the other guards take their positions!”
“Got it!” Stephanie Stuart responded and quickly left.
“Casey, where are the beast cores from those four giant beasts in the stone cave?” Billy asked after Stephanie Stuart left.
“Boss, I have them!” Stout replied.
“Bring me two!” Billy instructed.
“Boss, you don’t plan to refine two high-level beast cores at once, do you?” Stout was slightly stunned.
Everyone else understood Billy’s intention and turned to look at him.
“Billy Boy, that’s too dangerous!” Opal spoke up.
“You just broke through to half-step Holy Realm not long ago. Refining two half-step Holy Beast cores in such a short time is too much for your body!”
“It’s okay, I know my limits!” Billy smiled faintly and looked at Stout again. “Go ahead, hurry up!”
He had no other choice!
The Blood and Devil Sects were attacking with heavy forces, including at least two mid-Holy Realm experts.
And Skydragon City had no one at the Holy Realm!
How could they fight this battle?!
He had to take a gamble!
He knew that even if he successfully refined two high-level beast cores and broke through to first-rank Holy Realm, their chances of winning were still slim!
But it was better than not breaking through at all!
At this moment, he really missed the old man inside him. If he were still here, everything would be much easier!
“Alright!” Stout saw that Billy had made up his mind and didn’t insist further. He got up and left.
Just then, a flying beast’s cry sounded outside the door.
“Hmm?” Billy was slightly stunned and walked out to take a look.
It was the flying beast they had encountered in the misty forest a few days ago, wandering outside the door.
Seeing Billy, the flying beast chirped excitedly several times.
“Billy, it has been guarding the door every moment these past few days without leaving.” Felicia said.
“Why is it here?” Billy asked Casey in surprise.
“After you fainted that day, it insisted on following us. Seeing it meant no harm, I brought it back.” Casey replied.
“Good!” Billy’s eyes lit up slightly.
This flying beast had killed a beast with defensive abilities comparable to second-rank Holy Realm. Its combat power was enough to contend with third-rank Holy Realm!
In the current situation, it was definitely a great help!
Moreover, he remembered that the old man inside him had said that this flying beast’s combat power had not fully recovered yet.
Given time, once its soul was fully restored, it would be an absolute powerhouse!
“Boss, here!” Soon after, Stout brought over two beast cores.
“Opal, take Amber and Casey to activate the city’s defensive array. I’ll join you shortly!” Billy said to Opal after taking the beast cores.
“Be careful. If it doesn’t work out, don’t force it!” Opal nodded in response.
“I know!” Billy nodded as well.
Then Opal led everyone into the air and left.
After they left, the flying beast chirped at Billy several times.
“Do you want to go with them first?” Billy asked.
The flying beast shook its head.
“Then wait here for me. We’ll go together later!” Billy continued.
The flying beast nodded.
Billy then sat cross-legged on the lawn outside the door and began refining the beast cores.
The flying beast stood guard nearby with a tense expression.
Time passed quickly; over four hours flew by in an instant.
Billy had refined the two high-level beast cores.
Of course, he did this at an extremely abnormal speed. In some sense, he had only ingested the beast cores.
As for the energy from the two beast cores, it was far from being fully absorbed. They were like two ticking time bombs inside him, ready to explode at any moment.
He dared to refine high-level beast cores because his bloodline was different from ordinary people. If it were anyone else, they would have exploded and died long ago.
Even for him, it was tough. Powerful currents of energy surged through his meridians and organs, causing a burning sensation.
However, these high-level beast cores indeed contained immense energy.
After three or four hours, he had glimpsed the dawn of Holy Realm; he was just one step away.
Soon after suppressing the turbulent energy within him, he stood up.
“Let’s go. The Blood and Devil Sects should be arriving soon!”
Billy said to the flying beast before taking off into the air.
The flying beast chirped and followed closely behind.
