“Hmm?!”
As the thunderous blade swung towards him, the man’s pupils shrank to the size of pinholes. A dense aura of death enveloped him, causing his hair to stand on end.
Without time to think, he hastily raised his hand to form a seal to block the attack. The seal shattered instantly, and the hundred-meter-long blade continued its descent.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung backward, with at least half of his bones and tendons broken. His combat strength dropped to less than forty percent, and his aura weakened significantly.
But it wasn’t over. As he was being thrown back, a spiritual power materialized into a Bloodshadow Fury Blade that followed closely behind, appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye.
“If you dare kill me, the city lord will tear you apart…” the man shouted in desperation.
Before he could finish his sentence, the Bloodshadow Fury Blade flashed across his neck, sending his head flying into the air with a spray of blood.
The head, suspended in mid-air, had eyes wide open in shock and disbelief. Even in his last moment, he couldn’t believe he had been killed by a fourth-rank Holy Realm youngster.
“You brat, you’re dead! How dare you kill him!”
At that moment, an extremely angry voice rang out from not far away. Billy looked over and saw it was the eighth-rank Holy Realm expert fighting Elder Hughes and Elder Wood. Both elders were severely injured, their combat strength reduced by two or three levels. If the battle continued, they wouldn’t last much longer.
Meanwhile, a loud noise echoed from a distance. Stephanie Stuart was struck by a sixth-rank Holy Realm, sent flying a thousand meters away, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her previous opponent was a fifth-rank Holy Realm whom she had killed after several exchanges.
However, before she could catch her breath, she was attacked by another sixth-rank Holy Realm elder, leaving her aura in disarray.
The sixth-rank Holy Realm elder clearly didn’t intend to let her go easily and pursued her with a fierce look in his eyes.
“Mom, watch out!” Billy shouted as he dashed towards Stephanie Stuart.
Although Elder Hughes and Elder Wood were also in danger, they weren’t in immediate life-threatening situations, so he prioritized saving his mother.
“Brat, let me end your life!”
Just as Billy flew less than a hundred meters, the eighth-rank Holy Realm roared angrily and formed a seal with his hand to attack.
Billy frowned but didn’t confront him head-on; instead, he dodged to the side.
“Let’s see how long you can dodge!” The eighth-rank Holy Realm expert roared again, sweeping out a violent gust of wind with his hand.
“Billy, I’ll handle him. Go save your mother!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
The next moment, a purple figure appeared beside Billy-it was Purple Spirit. Purple Spirit raised her hand and blocked the eighth-rank Holy Realm’s attack with several purple flames.
“Purple Spirit, be careful!” Billy said before rushing towards Stephanie Stuart. He couldn’t afford to think too much; without Purple Spirit’s help, he couldn’t save his mother.
“Billy, you be careful too!” Purple Spirit replied as she launched an attack against the eighth-rank Holy Realm.
Meanwhile, the sixth-rank Holy Realm elder had closed the distance to within three or four hundred meters of Stephanie Stuart. “I’ll put you to death!” he said coldly, forming a phantom blade with his hand and slashing it towards her. Stephanie Stuart, severely injured from the sneak attack, couldn’t withstand another blow.
“Aunt Stephanie, watch out!” Opal shouted from not far away. She wanted to help but was also being suppressed by another sixth-rank Holy Realm and couldn’t break free.
At that moment, a blood-red arc shot through the air and intercepted the phantom blade, sending Stephanie Stuart flying another two or three hundred meters.
“Mom, are you okay?” Billy used Phantom Trail to quickly reach his mother, worry etched on his face.
“Billy, don’t worry. I’m fine,” Stephanie Stuart said, wiping the blood from her mouth.
“Mom, take a moment to recover,” Billy said after checking her condition and feeling relieved.
“Okay,” Stephanie Stuart nodded. “You be careful too.”
“Brat, not bad. You managed to block my attack so easily…” The sixth-rank Holy Realm elder began to speak but was interrupted as Billy flipped his wrist and sent another arc towards him.
“You’re courting death! I’ll show you what true power is!” The elder didn’t take Billy’s attack seriously. If he knew that Billy had just killed an eighth-rank Holy Realm moments ago, he might have thought differently.
As he spoke, he activated the same move again, sending a phantom blade towards Billy’s arc. But in the next moment, his expression froze. Billy’s arc cut through his attack effortlessly and slashed across his neck.
A head flew into the air with a spray of blood. With Billy’s current strength, killing a sixth-rank Holy Realm was easy.
After killing the elder with one strike, Billy dashed towards Opal. Seeing Billy’s approach and recalling how he had just killed a sixth-rank Holy Realm elder, the other elder lost all courage to fight and fled immediately. However, he couldn’t outrun Billy. Before he could escape a thousand meters, Billy caught up and sliced him in half with another arc.
“Opal, are you okay?” Billy shouted towards Opal.
“I’m fine! Don’t worry about me; go help Elder Troy!” Opal replied.
“Got it!” Billy nodded and rushed towards Elder Troy’s location.
At the same time that Billy killed the sixth-rank Holy Realm elder, Purple Spirit sent a wave of purple flames that knocked the eighth-rank Holy Realm flying a thousand meters away. The eighth-rank Holy Realm spat out blood as his chest bones shattered; his expression twisted in pain.
When Purple Spirit emerged from Billy’s body earlier, he had been excited because he knew it was the ‘Spiritual Line Origin,’ one of their main targets in Skydragon City.
Capturing it would make him a hero.
But after one exchange with Purple Spirit, he realized how wrong he was. Not only could he not capture it, but whether he could survive was also uncertain.
And soon enough, he got his answer!
