“Everyone remember, don’t fight head-on, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices!” Billy shouted.
“Roger!” the crowd responded loudly.
“Kill!” Billy continued to shout.
As his voice rang out, a wave of spiritual power swept over the ‘bamboo section men.’
In the next moment, the ‘bamboo section men’ charged forward. Compared to the ones that fought Alma Delaney and Jonah Fuller last time, these were several levels higher. Their attack power was equivalent to the early stages of the Sacred Realm. If their opponents couldn’t find the array eye on them, it would take at least late-stage Sacred Realm strength to defeat them. This was a force not to be underestimated.
“Kill!”
Stephanie Stuart and a thousand Skydragon Dark Guards charged out simultaneously. The scene quickly descended into fierce combat, with waves of energy and flashes of blades and swords.
The disciples of the Blood and Devil Sects who encountered the ‘bamboo section men’ felt an urge to curse. Initially, they didn’t take these ‘bamboo section men’ seriously. Everyone thought, what are these things? This is a battlefield of life and death, not a stage performance. Who are you looking down on with these toys?
However, as soon as they started fighting the ‘bamboo section men,’ their expressions stiffened. In just the blink of an eye, dozens of heads flew into the air, blood spraying like fountains.
Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief. Even in their dying moments, they couldn’t believe they couldn’t withstand even one move from these ‘bamboo section men.’
“Don’t underestimate them; they are enhanced with arrays!” someone finally realized and loudly reminded their companions.
At this moment, a ‘bamboo section man’ was sent flying by the palm wind of a third-rank Sacred Realm man. Just as he steadied himself, the ‘bamboo section man’ charged again, thrusting his bamboo sword at a tricky angle.
The man frowned and dodged to the side while sweeping out another palm wind.
The ‘bamboo section man’ was pushed back seven or eight steps but quickly closed the distance again, drawing a cold gleam with his bamboo sword.
The man didn’t expect the ‘bamboo section man’s’ speed to be so fast and got a cut on his arm due to carelessness.
“Die!”
The injured man, full of anger, unleashed his full strength in a desperate attack. With a loud bang, the ‘bamboo section man’ was sent flying six or seven hundred meters, tumbling several times upon hitting the ground.
The man thought it was finally over, but before he could catch his breath, the ‘bamboo section man’ got up and charged again.
“What the hell is it!” The man was nearly driven mad. Many others shared his feelings. Even ten early-stage Sacred Realm fighters couldn’t completely subdue one ‘bamboo section man,’ leaving everyone’s expressions twisted.
Crack!
Not far away, an eighth-rank Sacred Realm elder from the Devil Sect sent a ‘bamboo section man’ flying with a palm strike.
In mid-air, it disintegrated completely, finally destroying one. Seeing this, those targeted by the ‘bamboo section men’ felt a glimmer of hope. At least it proved that these ‘bamboo section men’ were not invincible.
“Elder Tony, you and Elder Jeff go deal with those bamboo section men!” a first-rank Holy Realm member shouted.
“Alright!” responded several elders from the Elder Pavilion.
“You should worry about your own survival first!” Azure Dragon’s voice came through. He and Azure Fang, along with Ian Blade and others, charged in with bronze knives.
The next moment, sounds of clashes filled the air as both sides engaged in intense combat. The Blood and Devil Sects had brought fifty to sixty Elder Pavilion members this time, all seventh-rank Sacred Realm or higher. Azure Dragon and Azure Fang’s group had only a quarter of their numbers, making the battle tough. However, this left fewer enemies to deal with the ‘bamboo section men.’
Within minutes, bodies littered the ground, most having their throats slit by the ‘bamboo section men,’ easing the pressure on the thousand Dark Guards significantly.
As soon as the battle began, Blood Sect Master Valentin Fuller looked towards the city and then turned to Vance Delaney.
“Vance, go break the city’s barrier. I’ll handle this so-called unparalleled genius with Barrett Fuller and Deacon Delaney.”
He held Billy in high regard; three mid-Holy Realm experts against one half-step Holy Realm fighter!
“Alright!” Vance Delaney responded loudly and flew towards the barrier.
Their goal today was not only to capture Billy but also to destroy Skydragon City completely. Therefore, breaking the barrier was essential; otherwise, they couldn’t proceed.
“To break the barrier, you’ll have to get past me first!” Billy’s voice rang out as a blood-red blade light shot forward.
“Your opponent is us!” Barrett Fuller said coldly, launching an attack towards Billy. However, his palm strike was intercepted by Stephanie Stuart’s sword aura.
“Hmm?” Barrett Fuller’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Interesting. Let’s see what you’ve got!”
He then attacked Stephanie Stuart. With his half-step fourth-rank Holy Realm strength, even without using any trump cards, Stephanie Stuart couldn’t match him. After two rounds, Stephanie Stuart was forced back, her breath chaotic.
“Aunt Stephanie, I’ll help you!” Opal shouted after killing several Blood Sect disciples and rushed over.
As she spoke, a sharp sword aura shot towards Barrett Fuller like a fleeting horse.
“Get lost!”
Barrett Fuller dismissed her attack with a wave of his hand, shattering her sword aura and sending Opal flying back a hundred meters.
Stephanie Stuart shouted as she unleashed Sword Roaring Across Heaven and Earth towards Barrett Fuller.
“Interesting!”
Barrett Fuller glanced at the hundred-meter-long giant sword in mid-air, his pupils contracting slightly. He then charged towards Stephanie Stuart instead of retreating, releasing a blood-red aura that formed a massive phantom blade.
With a loud explosion, both attacks shattered simultaneously, causing waves of energy to ripple outwards.
After the explosion subsided, Stephanie Stuart spat blood and was sent flying several hundred meters away, clearly heavily injured.
