With Billy’s current combat strength, he no longer feared his opponent, even if they were at their peak.
Not to mention his killer moves, just his defensive ability and speed were enough to contend with a ninth-rank Holy Realm.
As expected, after exchanging dozens of blows, the man was sent flying a thousand meters away by Billy’s Nine Dragons Unite.
His bones and meridians were damaged to varying degrees, reducing his combat power to less than fifty percent.
Before he could fully stop, a spiritual power-formed wild blade swiftly pursued him.
“I am a messenger between life and death. If you dare kill me, I promise…” The man’s pupils shrank in panic.
Before he could finish his sentence, the wild blade pierced through his heart, spraying blood everywhere.
The man opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word before falling straight down.
After dealing with him, Billy quickly rushed towards Opal and Amber’s battle zone.
Meanwhile, a loud noise erupted nearby as Oscar Craft sent an elder of the half-step Otherworldly Realm flying, drastically reducing his combat power.
Still in mid-air and unable to stabilize himself, the elder was sent to meet the king of hell by a ninth-rank Holy Realm elder from the Ethereal Sect.
From then on, the battle had little suspense left.
Except for the leading elder and Lane Chapman, the others couldn’t withstand the combined assault of the Ethereal Sect and Billy’s group.
Even the dozen or so messengers between life and death couldn’t hold their ground!
In about half an hour, all lay on the ground, dead.
In the sky, Purple Spirit and the black-and-white masked elder clashed again.
The powerful shockwave sent both flying a thousand meters away.
Both their breaths were chaotic, indicating an evenly matched situation.
“How dare you kill my messengers between life and death! You have some nerve!” The elder roared angrily at those below.
“Mark my words, this isn’t over. We’ll meet again soon!”
“Next time, I’ll show you what true despair is!”
With that, he vanished in a flash, appearing a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.
He knew that if he continued fighting, his only outcome would be death!
Having fought Purple Spirit until now, his combat power was down to sixty or seventy percent. Once the Ethereal Sect members recovered and joined forces against him, he would be doomed!
“Purple Spirit, chase him! Don’t let him escape!” Stout shouted loudly.
As soon as he spoke, Billy and Purple Spirit pursued the elder.
With Phantom Trail activated, Billy’s teleportation speed was no less than the elder’s. Within a few breaths, he was seven or eight hundred meters behind him.
Billy then used all his strength to point at the elder, sending out a wave of energy.
Sensing the power of the attack, the elder frowned slightly and dodged.
But before he could catch his breath, Purple Spirit had already caught up.
A purple longsword formed from her own energy chased after him with lightning speed.
Unity of man and sword!
This was Purple Spirit’s strongest move so far!
“Hmm?”
Feeling the danger behind him, the elder’s pupils shrank. He knew he couldn’t easily block this sword.
So he quickly increased his teleportation speed to dodge to the side.
To his horror, the purple longsword had locked onto him and followed him wherever he went.
“Damn it!”
Knowing this wasn’t a solution, the elder cursed angrily and turned to face the incoming energy wave head-on.
He underestimated the sword’s power. The purple longsword tore through his defense and pierced his shoulder blade, spraying blood like a fountain.
“Ugh…” The elder groaned as he flew a thousand meters before stopping.
“Put you to death!”
Before he could check his wound, Billy’s voice reached his ears.
As Billy spoke, a phantom divine dragon surged forward with overwhelming force.
The elder had no chance to dodge!
With a loud crash, the elder was thrown into the air. Two-thirds of his bones and meridians were broken, and all his internal organs were displaced.
He crashed heavily to the ground, opened his mouth but couldn’t speak a word before his head tilted lifelessly to the side.
In his final moments, a hint of regret surfaced in his heart. Had he known this would be the outcome, no amount of spirit stones would have made him take this job.
“Billy, is he dead? I need to rest for a while…”
Purple Spirit’s voice sounded weak.
As she finished speaking, she transformed into a purple flame and entered Billy’s body.
Given her current strength, using unity of man and sword consumed a lot of energy each time.
“Purple Spirit, thank you!” Billy directed his consciousness inward. “Are you okay?”
Today’s outcome was largely thanks to Purple Spirit’s intervention; otherwise, it could have been reversed.
Often, a battle’s outcome hinges on one or two key individuals.
“Billy, I’m fine. Just exhausted. I need some rest; don’t worry about me.” Purple Spirit responded.
“Rest well then!” Billy withdrew his consciousness from his mind sea.
Meanwhile, the barrier surrounding White Feather and Lane Chapman exploded with a bang, sending two figures flying out.
Both were severely injured, their combat power reduced by thirty or forty percent.
After catching his breath slightly, Lane Chapman didn’t hesitate and fled immediately.
He had long wanted to retreat, especially after seeing the leading elder among the messengers between life and death killed. He had no will to fight anymore.
Now he could only muster late-stage Holy Realm strength. Staying meant certain death.
“Stop him!” Oscar Craft shouted simultaneously.
As soon as he spoke, several figures quickly pursued Lane Chapman.
The result was predictable!
Under the assault of five or six late-stage Holy Realm experts, Lane Chapman fell from mid-air within two minutes.
Though still breathing, how long he would survive was uncertain.
Lying on the ground in despair, he looked up at the distant void where Victor Chapman and Jorge Craft were fighting.
Their battle zone was far away. From start to finish, neither had been seen; only occasional deafening booms came from that direction.
No one knew who was stronger or who would win!
As Lane Chapman looked up at the sky, another deafening boom echoed from afar.
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky with surging waves of energy-a terrifying sight.
Then a figure shot towards them from that direction.
