As he flew out, a spear formed from purple flames followed closely behind.
It pierced through his chest without any resistance, passing right through.
The eighth-rank Holy Realm warrior opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word. His aura instantly withered, and he fell to the ground.
After hitting the ground heavily, his body twitched a few times before becoming still.
“Purple Spirit, are you alright?” Billy asked, looking in Purple Spirit’s direction.
“I’m fine, Billy, be careful yourself…” Purple Spirit smiled in response.
However, before she could finish speaking, her expression changed dramatically.
She felt an overwhelmingly terrifying spiritual power binding her, making it impossible to move.
“Purple Spirit, what’s wrong?” Billy noticed her unusual state.
Before Billy could finish his sentence, ripples appeared in the void around Purple Spirit.
An old man suddenly appeared about two or three hundred meters from Purple Spirit.
A master!
That was Billy’s first thought!
He couldn’t sense any aura fluctuations from the old man, indicating he was a strong practitioner above the Holy Realm!
“Who are you?” Purple Spirit could only move her mouth and eyes.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, you appear!” The old man looked at Purple Spirit and smiled faintly. “Come with me!”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion toward Purple Spirit. A force pulled her towards him.
“Billy, he’s trying to take me away. Think of something; I don’t want to go with him…” Purple Spirit cried out.
Billy didn’t have time to think and attacked the old man with all his strength.
The Celestial Black Finger’s attack landed on the old man without any effect. He didn’t even flinch.
“Boy, after I take her, I’ll show you what true power is!” The old man glanced at Billy.
“Billy, I don’t want to go with him…” Purple Spirit cried out again.
“Damn!” Billy cursed under his breath.
He unleashed his strongest move, Nine Dragons Unite!
In a few blinks of an eye, phantom divine dragons carrying immense energy charged at the old man.
A muffled sound echoed as energy waves surged, causing the void to tremble.
But to Billy’s shock, the old man remained unmoved in mid-air!
Billy took a deep breath, feeling a profound sense of powerlessness.
In front of such a strong practitioner, he was like a child in kindergarten, completely outmatched.
“A mere fourth-rank Holy Realm warrior can unleash such an attack. You truly surprise me!” The old man glanced at Billy.
He was genuinely surprised and more determined than ever to kill Billy today!
Such a talented genius must be eliminated before he becomes a significant threat!
After speaking, he ignored Billy and increased the force pulling Purple Spirit towards him.
“Billy…” Purple Spirit called out again.
At that moment, ripples appeared in the void about four or five hundred meters away from the old man.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
It was Jorge Craft, the head of the Ethereal Sect!
“Elder Paul, long time no see!” Jorge Craft looked at the old man and spoke calmly.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, sending out a wave of energy.
Though it looked ordinary on the surface, Billy’s pupils contracted sharply.
He noticed that the void around the wave seemed to distort as if it might collapse at any moment.
Such a technique was unheard of!
“Hmm?!” The old man’s pupils also contracted slightly.
Without thinking further, he abandoned Purple Spirit and raised his hand to meet the attack.
Their attacks collided, causing a significant shockwave but not as intense as expected.
Billy vaguely heard a cracking sound as if something had broken.
At the same time, he felt an inexplicable force pressing on him as if trying to tear him apart.
Fortunately, his defensive ability had improved significantly, allowing him to withstand the force’s assault.
Though Billy managed to endure it, two men from Sky City and Guardian Alliance were not so lucky.
In the midst of their fierce battle, they suddenly exploded into pieces without knowing what had happened. They died without understanding why or how they met their end.
Billy took another deep breath. This level of skill was beyond his comprehension!
“Purple Spirit, come over here!” After regaining his composure, Billy called out to Purple Spirit.
“Okay!” Purple Spirit responded and turned into a wisp of purple flame that entered Billy’s forehead.
“Mr Craft, what do you mean by this? Are you sure you want to meddle in this matter?” Paul Hatfield looked at Jorge Craft and asked sternly.
“Hehe, Elder Paul, you’re mistaken!” Jorge Craft smiled faintly.
He pointed towards Billy and continued speaking.
“That young man is the husband of one of my female disciples. He’s in danger; how can this be considered meddling?”
“Hmm?” Billy was surprised to hear this.
He hadn’t expected the head of the Ethereal Sect to come personally!
His heart skipped a beat. If the head himself had come, why hadn’t he seen Harleen and Ivy? And where was Aubree?
Could something have happened?
“I wasn’t aware of such a thing,” Paul Hatfield narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Elder Paul, you’ve been secluded in City Lord’s Mansion for so long that you wouldn’t notice such minor matters.” Jorge Craft smiled faintly.
“So you’re determined to interfere today?” Paul Hatfield responded sternly.
“I can ignore other matters, but I must intervene in this young man’s case.” Jorge Craft shrugged.
“If Elder Paul spares this young man for my sake, I will remember this favor!”
“Hmph!” Paul Hatfield snorted coldly. “What if I don’t give you face?”
“Then I must apologize.” Jorge Craft shrugged again.
“I’m curious about one thing!” Paul Hatfield continued looking at Jorge Craft.
“You should know the consequences of your actions unless all of City Lord’s Mansion’s people fall here in Forbidden Ruins Space.”
“Otherwise, your Ethereal Sect will face our wrath.”
“Just for a female disciple, you’re willing to risk your entire sect? This doesn’t seem like your style!”
“Hehe, a gentleman knows when to act and when not to. Is that hard to understand?” Jorge Craft chuckled.
