“Since that’s the case, let me face you, Mr Craft!” Paul Hatfield’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. “I hope you know what you’re doing!”
“The space here is limited. Let’s change the location!” Jorge Craft said as he flew towards the sky.
“Alright!” Paul Hatfield glanced at Billy before following him.
Although he wanted to take down Billy, he knew that without dealing with Jorge Craft first, he wouldn’t succeed.
“Mr Craft, I…” Billy called out loudly, looking at Jorge Craft’s back.
“Billy, don’t worry. Your wife and Aubree are safe together!” Jorge Craft knew what Billy wanted to ask.
“They’re still in Sky City?” Billy continued to ask.
“No!” Jorge Craft replied again. “We’ll talk later!” As he spoke, he was already several kilometers away.
“Billy, now you don’t have to worry!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind, sounding slightly weak. Clearly, Paul Hatfield’s earlier attack had caused her significant harm, damaging her source energy.
“Yes!” Billy nodded in response. Although he was curious about Harleen and Ivy’s whereabouts, knowing they were safe was enough for now.
“Purple Spirit, are you alright?” Billy asked again.
“That old man was strong. He drained some of my source energy. I need to rest for a while,” Purple Spirit responded.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Billy asked again.
“Thank you, Billy, but no need!” Purple Spirit replied. “I just need to stay in your body and I’ll recover soon!”
“Then take a good rest!” Billy nodded in response.
Meanwhile, a loud noise came from three or four kilometers away. Elder Troy of the Guardian Alliance was sent flying five or six hundred meters by a palm strike from a seventh-rank Holy Realm opponent, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Not bad. To last this long against the two of us, even if you die, it’s worth it,” the elder said to Elder Troy.
“Stop wasting time with him. Finish him quickly and help the others!” the other seventh-rank Holy Realm member said sternly.
“Alright!” The elder responded and formed a seal with his hand, sending it towards Elder Troy with a gust of wind.
The seal was blocked halfway by a blade light, causing a loud noise.
“Hmm?” The seventh-rank Holy Realm member frowned slightly as he looked at Billy approaching through the air.
“Kid, you came just in time. Saves me the trouble of finding you!”
“Elder Troy, take this pill and rest for a bit. Leave these two to me!” Billy ignored the opponent and tossed a pill to Elder Troy.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” Elder Troy took the pill and said, “Mr Billy, they’re both seventh-rank Holy Realm. We should…”
“No need. After you rest, go help Elder Kyle. I’ll handle this,” Billy interrupted him.
“Then be careful, Mr Billy!” Elder Troy didn’t insist further.
“Kid, you’re really arrogant. Do you really think…” The elder looked at Billy with disdain. Before he could finish his sentence, a curved blade light with thunderous momentum flashed in front of him.
“You seek death!” The elder frowned and raised his hand to block it.
A muffled sound rang out as the elder was forced back a hundred meters by the sudden attack. Just as he steadied himself, a violent gust of wind surged towards him, causing a storm wherever it passed.
“Elder Hunter, be careful!” The gray-robed man nearby shouted as he formed a seal with his hand and sent it towards Billy.
The elder’s pupils contracted in panic as he sensed the danger. He knew there was no way to retreat within a kilometer radius once Celestial Black Finger was unleashed. Realizing his predicament, he decided to face it head-on with full strength.
A loud explosion echoed through the void as the elder was sent flying five or six hundred meters, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
Taking a direct hit from Celestial Black Finger without any defense was not easy even for a seventh-rank Holy Realm cultivator.
His internal organs shifted instantly, and at least one-third of his bones and meridians were broken, reducing his combat strength by more than half.
Meanwhile, the gray-robed man’s seal struck Billy heavily, causing shock waves to ripple outwards.
To his surprise, his attack only pushed Billy two or three hundred meters aside without causing any other effect.
“How is that possible?!” The gray-robed man exclaimed involuntarily as he saw Billy unscathed. Such defensive ability was monstrous!
“Surprised?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. Recently, his ‘Strengthening Bloodline Method’ had reached a significant level. Even an eighth-rank Holy Realm cultivator would struggle to harm him easily.
“Stop talking and attack! Disable him!” The severely injured elder shouted angrily after stabilizing himself.
Before his words fell, a massive spiritual power blade slashed towards him swiftly.
“Elder Hunter, watch out!” The gray-robed man shouted urgently while unleashing powerful spiritual energy from his brow to intercept the blade.
The blade exploded near Elder Hunter, sending him flying another hundred meters with the shockwave.
“Enough! Die now!” Before they could catch their breath, Billy wielded his blade and unleashed Blade Shattering the Sky. The void within a kilometer radius was filled with endless blade lights in an astonishing display.
The elder couldn’t dodge in time and was already severely injured. In the blink of an eye, dozens of deep cuts appeared on his body, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
“…”
He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word before falling lifelessly from the sky.
At the same time, a hundred-meter-long blade slashed towards the gray-robed man. Sensing its power, he didn’t intend to clash head-on and dodged while sending out several gusts of wind.
The blade missed him narrowly but sent him flying several hundred meters with its shockwave. Without pause, Billy pursued him swiftly and unleashed a net of sharp blade strikes.
After a flurry of blade lights, the gray-robed man had over a dozen deep cuts on his body, blood spurting out like arrows.
“You deserve to die!” The man cursed angrily as he tried to activate his trump card after stabilizing himself with difficulty.
But Billy didn’t intend to give him any chance. Just as he prepared himself, Celestial Black Finger’s attack flashed before him.
The man’s pupils contracted in panic as he instinctively raised his hand to block it.
After another loud explosion, the man flew seven or eight hundred meters like a broken kite before crashing heavily to the ground and twitching a few times before going still.
After finishing off the man, Billy dashed towards Casey and others’ battle zone. Meanwhile, a thunderous explosion echoed from the sky as a mushroom cloud of shockwaves rose into the air, creating waves of turbulence in the surrounding void like an apocalyptic scene.
The sound came from Esteban Stuart and Reese Boyer’s battle zone. After the explosion, their figures temporarily separated.
