A deafening explosion echoed through the void, sending shockwaves rippling outward and causing two nearby buildings to collapse.
Simultaneously, Billy and the elderly opponent were thrown backward, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
From their auras, it was clear that Billy had a slight edge.
The elderly opponent’s face showed extreme shock once again.
Even after using his trump card, he was still no match. This was unbelievable!
If this young man wasn’t eliminated, he would become a significant threat in the future!
Meanwhile, not far away, the elderly man with a goatee glanced at Billy’s position.
His eyes flashed with surprise, clearly astonished by Billy’s combat prowess.
To challenge so many levels above his own was truly monstrous!
This strengthened his resolve to eliminate Billy!
Standing opposite him, Lydia Wooler also wore a look of surprise.
Although she had heard of Billy’s extraordinary ability to challenge higher levels, seeing it firsthand was still shocking.
“Miss Wooler, I apologize for the offense!” the goateed elder said solemnly after withdrawing his gaze from Billy.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Leave with your people immediately!” Lydia Wooler responded calmly. “I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”
“Heh, Miss Wooler, you overestimate yourself!” the goateed elder sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished like a magician.
In the blink of an eye, ripples appeared in the void not far from Lydia Wooler, and the goateed elder reappeared before her.
In the next moment, he flipped his wrist, and a phantom hand shot rapidly toward Lydia Wooler.
As the hand passed through the void, it distorted space, and the pressure on the scene reached its peak.
“Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice!” Lydia Wooler’s voice reached the elder’s ears.
“Is that so? Let’s see what happens…” the goateed elder responded.
But before he could finish speaking, his pupils contracted instantly as a dense aura of death enveloped him.
Without time to think, he abandoned his attack on Lydia Wooler and shot backward.
Almost simultaneously, a cold gleam flashed toward his throat with lightning speed.
Although the goateed elder sensed the cold gleam, it was too late to dodge. He instinctively raised his hand to meet it with a gust of wind.
The cold gleam was incredibly sharp, easily tearing through the elder’s wind and slicing past his shoulder.
Immediately, an arm detached from his body and flew away, spraying blood everywhere.
“Hmm?!” The goateed elder glanced in horror at an elderly man who had suddenly appeared beside Lydia Wooler. The man was shrouded in a black robe, his true face hidden.
This elder was clearly the powerful figure Billy had sensed hiding in the shadows earlier.
The goateed elder hesitated for half a breath before disappearing from the spot.
He knew well that this elder’s skills were far superior to his own; staying would mean certain death.
“Since you’re here, stay!” The elder’s voice rang out as he also vanished.
In the next moment, he reappeared dozens of kilometers away in the void, facing the goateed elder several kilometers ahead.
“If you dare kill me, the Savage Demon Tribe will…” The goateed elder shouted as he fled at top speed.
Before he could finish speaking, a cold gleam flashed past his neck. His head flew into the sky, blood gushing like a fountain.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief and unwillingness.
Even in death, he couldn’t understand how he had been killed so easily despite his strength!
“Elder Harvey!” cried another elderly man from the Otherworldly Realm who had been fighting Elder Harrison. He looked at his two companions and shouted, “Retreat!”
As soon as he spoke, he vanished from sight.
However, he didn’t get far. Before he could escape ten kilometers, his head also flew into the air.
The one who struck was none other than the black-robed elder beside Lydia Wooler.
Meanwhile, the half-step Otherworldly Realm opponent fighting Billy was sent flying a kilometer away by Nine Dragons Unite.
He plummeted to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.
Despair filled him as an arc-shaped blade light slashed toward him while he was still mid-air. Already severely injured, he couldn’t dodge this time.
The blade light sliced through his waist, and his body fell in two bloody halves.
The other half-step Otherworldly Realm opponent had fled over ten kilometers when the black-robed elder caught up with him from behind.
The result was inevitable; with one move, he was instantly killed.
Thus, all four half-step Otherworldly Realm experts from the Savage Demon Tribe perished!
Ten minutes later.
Billy and his three companions followed Lydia Wooler back to the conference hall.
“Thank you for your assistance, Miss Wooler,” Billy said to Lydia Wooler. Without help from Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce today, things would have been much more troublesome for him. Given his current strength, he could barely contend with first-rank Otherworldly Realm experts. The goateed elder was clearly beyond that level!
“Mr Billy, you’re too kind. It was nothing,” Lydia Wooler responded.
“Miss Wooler, is Elder Joel alright?” Night Orchid asked.
“The opponent didn’t dare to strike fatally earlier. Although he’s injured, there’s no danger to his life,” Lydia Wooler replied.
“That’s good!” Night Orchid nodded in relief.
“Miss Wooler, what is the origin of the Savage Demon Tribe?” Stout asked.
“A while ago, when your Skydragon City was attacked, besides people from City Lord’s Mansion and Holy Heaven Sect, there should have been another force involved?” Lydia Wooler countered with a question.
“You mean those people were from the Savage Demon Tribe?” Billy was slightly taken aback by her words. As he spoke, images of those men from the Boyer family flashed in his mind.
“Yes,” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly. “The Savage Demon Tribe was also the first external aid invited by Sky City City Lord’s Mansion.”
“I see!” Stout nodded and continued to ask, “Miss Wooler, where does the Savage Demon Tribe come from?”
“You should ask your old master about that when you return,” Lydia Wooler replied with a faint smile.
Stout: “…”
“Mr Billy,” Lydia Wooler continued looking at Billy. “Since the Savage Demon Tribe has made a move, messenger between life and death won’t wait long!”
“Additionally, if I’m not mistaken, Holy Heaven Sect will soon launch an attack. You need to be prepared!”
“Thank you for the warning, Miss Wooler,” Billy nodded slightly. Then he cupped his hands toward her. “Thank you again. We won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!”
“Mr Billy, you’re too polite. It was a small matter,” Lydia Wooler smiled again. After a brief pause and with a thoughtful expression, she looked at Billy and said,
“Mr Billy, there’s something I want to say.”
“I know what you want to say,” Billy replied with a faint smile.
