“White Feather, are you okay?” Purple Spirit asked, looking at White Feather.
White Feather chirped twice and shook its head.
“Good. You rest for a bit. Leave this old man to me. I’ll beat him so badly his own mother won’t recognize him!” Purple Spirit continued.
Billy’s mouth twitched slightly as he exchanged a glance with White Feather. Purple Spirit seemed a bit overconfident after waking up.
“Are you the Spiritual Line Origin? Was it you who attacked just now?” Tucker Aguirre asked Purple Spirit in a deep voice.
Seeing Purple Spirit, his first thought was that the previous attack was due to her.
However, he hesitated, feeling it was unlikely.
“If it wasn’t me, did you hurt yourself?” Purple Spirit glared at Tucker Aguirre disdainfully.
“Old man, if you don’t want to get beaten, I suggest you go back to your Holy Heaven Sect!”
“Otherwise, Cloudsea Valley will be your burial ground!”
“Arrogant!” Tucker Aguirre snorted coldly.
He stopped pondering whether it was Purple Spirit who attacked and continued, “Considering your cultivation, I’ll give you a chance. Come back with me to the Holy Heaven Sect, and you might have a way out!”
As the second in command of the Holy Heaven Sect, he knew Purple Spirit’s value very well.
A Spiritual Line Origin that had turned into a spirit was incredibly valuable and useful.
“Idiot!” Purple Spirit retorted.
Billy: “…”
Even Purple Spirit had picked up that catchphrase.
He glanced at White Feather, wondering if it would also start using that phrase once it could speak.
“You want to resist like that boy? You…” Tucker Aguirre began, but before he could finish, a purple flame surged towards him.
“Get lost!”
Tucker Aguirre frowned and raised his hand to deflect the attack with a gust of wind.
A loud explosion ensued as both attacks collided, forcing Tucker Aguirre back by a hundred meters.
“Hmm?” Stabilizing himself, Tucker Aguirre’s pupils contracted slightly.
Purple Spirit’s skills had exceeded his expectations.
Not only him, but even Billy’s eyes flashed with surprise.
When Purple Spirit first appeared, there was no aura fluctuation, so he didn’t feel much.
But now, as Purple Spirit attacked, he sensed a powerful aura from her, much stronger than before!
It seemed that after devouring the Spiritual Line Origin, Purple Spirit’s strength had significantly improved.
“Realize how strong I am now?” Purple Spirit said to Tucker Aguirre. “You still have time to leave. If you delay any longer, you won’t be able to go anywhere!”
“Hmph! Just a mere Spiritual Line spirit trying to make me retreat without a fight? You’re dreaming!” Tucker Aguirre snorted coldly.
As he spoke, the pressure in the void around them began to rise at an abnormal speed.
In just a few moments, even Billy felt it was difficult to move and his breathing became labored.
“I’ll show you what absolute power is!”
Tucker Aguirre said in a deep voice and raised his hand towards Billy and the others.
The next moment, Billy felt like he was about to explode, as if several powerful forces were squeezing the void around him.
His internal organs were under immense pressure, blood continuously oozing from his mouth, and his breath was chaotic.
Not only him, but White Feather was also in bad shape. Already injured, its strength had greatly diminished and it struggled to withstand such pressure.
Billy observed Purple Spirit and found that the pressure seemed to have little effect on her.
Tucker Aguirre also noticed this and frowned deeply.
He then waved his hand, sending a spear formed of Chi power shooting towards Purple Spirit like lightning.
“Is this all you’ve got? Then you won’t leave here alive today!” Purple Spirit said coldly.
As she spoke, an ancient sword formed of purple flames met the spear head-on.
Unity of man and sword!
The two attacks collided, shattering Tucker Aguirre’s spear.
The ancient sword continued its trajectory towards Tucker Aguirre.
“Hmm?!” Tucker Aguirre didn’t expect Purple Spirit to unleash such a powerful attack and quickly dodged to the side.
However, with the unity of man and sword, Purple Spirit had essentially locked onto her target, making it difficult for him to evade.
Just as Tucker Aguirre dodged a few hundred meters away, the ancient sword slashed through his left shoulder, severing an arm and spraying blood everywhere.
This outcome didn’t mean Purple Spirit’s combat power was necessarily higher than Tucker Aguirre’s.
It was because Tucker Aguirre had expended considerable spiritual power dealing with Billy and White Feather earlier and hadn’t expected his spatial cage to be ineffective against Purple Spirit.
Thus, caught off guard, losing an arm to Purple Spirit’s deadly move was understandable.
This is why strong fighters usually avoid using spiritual power attacks unless they are sure of their success.
“Ugh…”
Tucker Aguirre groaned as he was sent flying several hundred meters back.
Before he could catch his breath, White Feather charged at him like a white shadow.
Tucker Aguirre’s pupils contracted again. He didn’t confront White Feather head-on but dodged to the side.
Before he could stabilize himself, Billy’s Celestial Black Finger struck him heavily.
At this point, his combat power had dropped significantly. Caught off guard, he couldn’t withstand the attack easily.
With a muffled sound, he was sent flying several hundred meters again, spitting out a mouthful of blood, worsening his condition.
Without hesitation, he quickly fled to the side.
His strength was now less than sixty percent. At best, he could only exert early-stage Otherworldly Realm power. He knew staying meant certain death.
“Purple Spirit, don’t let him escape!” Billy shouted as he realized Tucker Aguirre’s intention.
As he spoke, Billy formed a barrier around them again.
“Break!”
Tucker Aguirre reached the barrier and shattered it with a gust of wind from his right hand.
But this delay cost him dearly!
An ancient sword formed of purple flames pierced through his back and out his chest.
After devouring the Spiritual Line Origin, Purple Spirit could now use ‘unity of man and sword’ twice in succession!
“…”
Tucker Aguirre looked down at the bloody hole in his chest. He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
Then there was nothing more!
He fell to the ground with wide-open eyes, full of unwillingness!
He was the second in command of the Holy Heaven Sect, a mighty figure above the Otherworldly Realm!
He had thought that coming to Sky City posed no significant risk other than the treasure within Billy’s body.
Everything else was not even on his radar!
Because he knew that the strongest person in this world was only at the late stage of Otherworldly Realm, at least two or three levels below him.
So from the beginning, he hadn’t taken Sky City’s people seriously.
But in the end, before the treasure even appeared, he was killed!
Even at his last breath, he couldn’t believe he had died just like that!
“Purple Spirit, are you okay?”
Seeing that Tucker Aguirre was finally dead, Billy sighed in relief and looked towards Purple Spirit.
Using ‘unity of man and sword’ twice in succession must have pushed her to her limits.
