“Don’t waste time talking to them, let’s get started!” Reese Boyer turned to Alvin Hatfield.
“Finish it quickly, and give us what you promised!”
“Rest assured, we will not fall short of our promises!” Alvin Hatfield responded.
“You don’t have the guts!” Reese Boyer retorted before looking at Esteban Stuart.
“Old man, your skills are passable, come with us and have a chance to show your abilities!”
After speaking, the bearded man and another person flew into the air.
“Be careful!” Esteban Stuart warned Billy and the others before following suit.
“Father, stay safe!” Stephanie Stuart shouted.
“I’ll be fine!” Esteban Stuart waved his hand.
Soon, a deafening sound echoed through the void, causing it to tremble once again.
Esteban Stuart clashed with the bearded man, and both sides retreated hundreds of meters after exchanging blows.
After one round, it was clear that their strengths were evenly matched for now.
At the same time, four elders from the Guardian Alliance attacked Alvin Hatfield and Miguel Hatfield.
These four individuals were clearly above the Holy Realm, slightly inferior to Alvin Hatfield but not by much.
The commotion caused by both sides was astonishing, as if the void was about to shatter into pieces by their energy waves.
“Attack!”
One of the two eighth-rank Holy Realm individuals from the other side raised his hand and commanded, “Kill everyone except Billy!”
“Understood!” a couple hundred people responded loudly.
“Mr Billy, be careful!”
Elder Hughes of the Guardian Alliance said before rushing towards the eighth-rank Holy Realm individual.
“Mr Billy, if you can’t handle it, don’t force it. Delay them for a while until the old master returns!”
Elder Wood said at the same time as he charged towards the other eighth-rank Holy Realm individual.
“Elder Wood, leave him to me. You go help Elder Hughes!” Billy said as he swiftly moved forward.
He had already assessed the strengths of Elder Hughes and Elder Wood, both at the late stage of the seventh-rank Holy Realm.
Engaging in a one-on-one battle with them would be risky, so he took the initiative to attack one of them first.
“Mr Billy, you can’t. He’s at the eighth-rank Holy Realm. You…” Elder Wood hesitated for a moment.
“It’s fine, I know what I’m doing!” Billy replied, already appearing in front of the eighth-rank Holy Realm individual.
“Know your place!” The eighth-rank Holy Realm individual snorted coldly and struck out with a palm towards Billy.
Billy didn’t retreat but instead countered with a palm strike of his own.
A loud bang resounded as Billy was pushed back a hundred meters.
“I’ve heard that you can challenge opponents several ranks higher than you. It seems the rumors are true,” the eighth-rank Holy Realm individual said with narrowed eyes.
“Let’s change location!” Billy replied before flying into the air.
Without any hesitation, the eighth-rank Holy Realm individual followed suit.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Stuart led Edie Fennimore and the others to confront their opponents.
White Feather naturally joined in as well, directly targeting a fifth-rank Holy Realm individual on the other side.
The members of the Guardian Alliance, led by an elder surnamed Walsh, also charged forward.
Among the remaining members of the Guardian Alliance, Elder Walsh had the highest cultivation level at the seventh-rank Holy Realm.
Apart from him, there were two sixth-rank Holy Realm individuals, two fifth-rank Holy Realm individuals, Kyle George, and another elder at the fourth-rank Holy Realm.
Soon, both sides were engaged in a fierce battle. Figures flashed and energy waves wreaked havoc in the air.
This could be considered as one of the highest-level battles in the Forbidden Ruins Space in hundreds of years, without a doubt!
The pressure in the void reached its peak, as if a single spark could ignite everything.
Even though most of the shockwaves were blocked by the city’s defensive formation, those inside Skydragon City still felt suffocated.
After a while, a loud noise came from Billy’s battle circle as both individuals were sent flying five to six hundred meters apart.
With his bloodline power activated, Billy’s strength had reached the late stage of the fourth-rank Holy Realm, still four ranks lower than his opponent.
The reason they were evenly matched was undoubtedly due to Purple Spirit’s influence.
“Billy, let me come out of your body! I can defeat him in one round!” Purple Spirit’s voice sounded in Billy’s mind.
Under Billy’s bloodline nurturing, Purple Spirit’s strength had grown day by day. She was now capable of instantly killing an eighth-rank Holy Realm individual!
However, because Billy didn’t allow her to manifest herself fully, she could only borrow his body to fight, greatly limiting her power.
“Not yet, wait a little longer!” Billy replied.
The reason he didn’t let Purple Spirit appear was because he was worried that there might be stronger opponents hiding nearby.
If suddenly confronted by someone above the Holy Realm, Purple Spirit wouldn’t stand a chance with her current strength.
“You really surprised me!” The eighth-rank Holy Realm individual wiped off the blood from his mouth and looked at Billy with a slightly narrowed gaze.
He was genuinely shocked by Billy’s skills.
Although he had mentally prepared himself for Billy’s extraordinary talent that allowed him to challenge opponents two or three ranks higher, he never expected him to be this exceptional and fight him on equal grounds!
If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, he wouldn’t have believed it!
“The real surprise is yet to come!” Billy moved his consciousness out of his sea of knowledge and replied.
Without wasting any more time on words, he quickly moved forward and unleashed several fierce gusts of wind with a sweep of his hand.
The man also took action and took a deep breath before meeting Billy head-on.
In their battle circle, intense collisions and energy waves filled the air as they remained evenly matched.
After several rounds of attacks, Billy’s gaze sharpened. He activated his full strength and pointed towards his opponent.
Celestial Black Finger!
A surge of overwhelming energy accompanied by thunderous roars erupted. The wind howled and lightning flashed in the void.
Although the man sensed the power of this move, he showed no signs of retreat.
He took several steps forward and raised his hand to create a barrier-like shield in front of him.
The energy waves from Celestial Black Finger collided with the barrier, creating ripples in its wake.
At the same time, the man was sent flying three to four hundred meters away, spewing out a mouthful of blood. His face wore an extremely astonished expression.
Clearly, he had underestimated the power of Celestial Black Finger.
Strictly speaking, he had underestimated Purple Spirit’s strength as well.
With Purple Spirit’s power enhancing Celestial Black Finger, it naturally surpassed Billy’s own execution of the technique by another level.
Just as the man stabilized himself, another surge of energy waves came crashing towards him with great momentum.
“Damn it!”
The man didn’t expect Billy to activate his second trump card so quickly. He cursed inwardly and quickly dodged to the side.
Although he avoided a direct impact, he was still sent flying several hundred meters away, leaving behind an arc-shaped trail of blood in mid-air.
Without pausing for a moment, Billy pursued him while drawing Bloodshadow Fury Blade from his waist.
He then activated his full strength and condensed it into Blade Shattering the Sky before slashing outwards.
In an instant, a hundred-meter-long blade tore through the void and descended from above amidst flashes of lightning.
