At the same time, Kaiden Griffin burst into laughter.
The two men and women behind him, along with several staff members, looked at Billy as if he were a fool.
“You mean, you’re going to kill me?” Kaiden Griffin finally managed to stop laughing.
“Let’s not talk about whether you have the guts to kill someone from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce. First, tell me how you plan to kill me. With just the dozen of you…”
“White Feather, do it!” Billy interrupted him with a deep voice before he could finish his sentence.
White Feather let out a cry and vanished like a phantom.
“You’re courting death!” Kaiden Griffin shouted angrily, “Get out of my way!”
As he spoke, he moved forward.
He hadn’t expected Billy to strike first and had already sentenced Billy to death in his mind.
The next moment, a thunderous explosion echoed through the scene. A powerful shockwave sent many onlookers at the stern flying.
Simultaneously, a figure shot out and crashed into the main structure, then fell heavily onto the deck, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Kaiden Griffin!
At this moment, blood was continuously flowing from his mouth, his breath was extremely weak, and many of his bones and meridians were damaged, leaving him with less than half of his combat strength. His face showed an expression of extreme shock.
He clearly hadn’t expected White Feather to possess such power, capable of severely injuring him with just one move!
Around them, gasps could be heard from everyone present, including the opposing group and the onlookers, all of whom were dumbfounded!
A ninth-rank Holy Realm expert was utterly defeated by a flying beast?!
It was unbelievable!
By common sense, even a ninth-rank Holy Beast couldn’t be a match for a ninth-rank Holy Realm cultivator, let alone severely injure one with a single move!
This flying beast clearly had cultivation above that of a Holy Beast!
But up until today, the highest level beast discovered within Sky City was only a ninth-rank Holy Beast!
What exactly was this flying beast? Where did it come from?
“Elder Kaiden!”
The man and woman from the opposing group rushed towards Kaiden Griffin.
Before they could reach him, a spiritual power-formed blade floated in front of Kaiden Griffin, exuding a chilling aura.
“What… what are you trying to do?” the woman stopped and asked Billy.
“Do you have any last words?” Billy ignored the woman and walked towards Kaiden Griffin.
“I underestimated you!” Kaiden Griffin struggled to get up from the ground.
Then, with a look of gritted teeth, he glared at Billy. “But I must tell you, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble!”
“Injuring someone from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce on an intercity airship is a capital offense! Not just for you, but for everyone around you…”
Hearing this, Casey and Azure Dragon’s group couldn’t help but feel sorry for him!
If Kaiden Griffin had knelt down and begged for mercy at this moment, confessing his dirty dealings with the Quicksand Sect, he might have saved his life.
But threatening the Boss now was like seeking death!
“What if I just kill you?” Billy interrupted him again.
“Haha, you’re overestimating yourself!” Kaiden Griffin wiped the blood from his mouth. “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see if you have the guts to…”
Before he could finish speaking, the phantom blade pierced through his heart, blood gushing out like a fountain.
“You… how dare you…”
Kaiden Griffin looked down at the hole in his chest and managed to utter a few words before collapsing to the ground, kicking his legs in his final moments.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Even in his dying breath, he couldn’t believe Billy had actually dared to kill him!
He was one of the managers of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce in Sky City! And on his own ship! To be killed just like that!
Such an event probably hadn’t happened in nearly a thousand years!
In his final moments, he felt a tinge of regret.
Had he known Billy was such a madman, he wouldn’t have provoked him. Now he’d lost his life for it!
Seeing Kaiden Griffin lying motionless on the ground, the entire airship fell into a deathly silence.
Except for Casey’s group, everyone else had expressions similar to Kaiden Griffin’s.
He really dared to kill Kaiden Griffin!
How could he dare! Did he not know what the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce represented?
“You… you actually killed Mr Griffin? You killed him?” After a long while, the woman cried out in pain.
“You’re dead. You’re absolutely dead…”
“You… just wait. None of you will leave here alive today!” The man pulled out a sound transmission talisman as he spoke.
He activated the array on the talisman, which instantly vanished into thin air.
“Billy Boy, this Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce seems complicated,” Amber said as she walked up to Billy.
“Yeah,” Billy nodded slightly.
He knew this well enough!
But even so, what difference did it make? Those who needed to be killed still had to be killed!
“Boss, what now? Should we have them stop the ship and get off first?” Azure Dragon asked Billy.
“Run? Do you think you can escape?” The man responded coldly.
“Not just in Sky City; even if you escape back to Forbidden Ruins Space, you won’t have any chance of survival!”
“Idiot!” Azure Dragon retorted before looking back at Billy.
“No need,” Billy shook his head. “Didn’t he call for reinforcements? Let’s wait for them to arrive.”
He wasn’t one to run away! Besides, if this matter wasn’t resolved properly, the other side would surely not let it go, leading to more trouble later on!
“Boss, their reinforcements might not be Holy Realm cultivators!” Black Tortoise reminded him.
“No problem,” Billy continued shaking his head.
As soon as Billy finished speaking, an overwhelming aura swept down from the sky, enveloping the entire airship.
Even with a barrier outside, everyone inside still felt an incredibly terrifying pressure.
Most of the onlookers collapsed to the ground with weak legs, trembling all over and pale-faced.
From this aura alone, it was clear that the newcomer’s cultivation was definitely above Holy Realm!
“They arrived so quickly?”
Judge looked towards the void and spoke.
Casey and Azure Dragon’s faces showed signs of seriousness.
The next moment, a figure pierced through the barrier and appeared on the deck.
Dressed in black robes with silver hair, it was hard to tell his actual age. His eyes were sharp, and killing intent emanated from him.
“Greetings, Elder Joel!”
Upon seeing the elder, the man and woman along with all staff members bowed in respect.
Joel Wooler ignored them and walked over to Kaiden Griffin. He released his spiritual power to check on him.
After about a minute, he retracted his spiritual power expressionlessly.
Then he looked at the woman and asked in a deep voice, “Who did this?”
“Elder Joel,” she bowed again and pointed at Billy. “Elder Kaiden was killed by him!”
