“You’ve arrived just in time!”
Seeing the four people, the elder who had just exchanged a move with Billy pointed at him and shouted, “That’s Billy, capture him!”
“Attack!” Russell Aguirre, an elder of the Holy Heaven Sect, waved his hand.
“Understood!” The other three responded in unison and dashed forward.
With a loud bang, they unleashed their full strength. Several elders from Sky City were thrown into the air, lifeless before they even hit the ground.
Sky City was already at a disadvantage, and with the addition of these opponents, the situation became even more dire.
Meanwhile, Russell Aguirre closed the distance to within two or three hundred meters of Billy. Without any unnecessary words, he formed a seal with his hand and hurled it, causing a fierce wind to howl.
He was a late-stage Otherworldly Realm expert. Even at sixty to seventy percent power, Billy couldn’t withstand him.
“Mr Billy, watch out!” Oscar Craft shouted.
“Boss, be careful!” Casey and Azure Dragon yelled simultaneously.
Just as Billy was about to dodge, a thunderous force surged in, blocking Russell Aguirre’s attack. The powerful shockwave sent Billy flying two or three hundred meters, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“Who are you?!” Russell Aguirre frowned and turned to see four figures approaching through the air.
Billy also looked over and was visibly relieved; he recognized all four of them.
Leading them was Lydia Wooler, the young lady of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce. Following her was a black-robed elder, her personal guard who had just blocked Russell Aguirre’s attack. The other two were Joel Wooler and an elder under him whom Billy had met a few days ago.
Lydia Wooler and Joel Wooler exchanged a few words before they both dashed towards two Otherworldly Realm experts from the Holy Heaven Sect.
“Mr Billy, sorry we’re late. Are you alright?” Lydia Wooler smiled as she approached Billy with the black-robed elder.
“Thank you, Miss Wooler!” Billy bowed.
“You are from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?” Russell Aguirre scrutinized Lydia Wooler.
Lydia Wooler turned to him and said calmly, “Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce, Lydia Wooler.”
Russell Aguirre’s pupils contracted slightly. “The young lady of Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?”
As an elder of the Holy Heaven Sect, he had heard of Lydia Wooler. She was a rare genius and a key figure in her family’s future plans. It was almost certain she would become the next president of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce.
“Pleased to meet you,” Lydia Wooler said with a slight bow.
“I didn’t expect you to be in Sky City,” Russell Aguirre took a deep breath. “I assume you haven’t consulted your family about your actions today?”
“Mr Billy is my friend,” Lydia Wooler replied evasively.
“Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?” Russell Aguirre frowned again. “Have you considered the consequences? I suggest you consult your family.”
“As far as I know, there were already some objections within your family regarding your actions during the Savage Demon Tribe incident,” Russell Aguirre continued. “If you back off now, I’ll owe you a favor.”
“You’ll regret this,” Russell Aguirre said sternly. “Today, I must take Billy away. No one can stop me!”
“In that case, let’s see what you’re capable of,” Lydia Wooler narrowed her eyes.
“Fine!” Russell Aguirre’s aura intensified.
“Elder Matteo, please,” Lydia Wooler turned to the elder beside her.
“Be careful, young lady,” Matteo Wooler replied before turning to Russell Aguirre. “Let’s take this elsewhere. If you want to take Mr Billy, you’ll have to get through me first.”
“As you wish,” Russell Aguirre replied coldly.
The two then flew off to another area.
“Mr Billy, we’ll talk later,” Lydia Wooler said before dashing towards another third-rank Otherworldly Realm elder from the Holy Heaven Sect.
“Miss Wooler, be careful!” Billy shouted back.
“No worries,” Lydia Wooler waved her hand dismissively.
Soon, she was engaged in battle with the elder. Meanwhile, Billy, Oscar Craft, and Casey resumed their fight against the Holy Heaven Sect members.
The four newcomers from the Holy Heaven Sect were held back by Lydia Wooler’s group, easing Sky City’s pressure significantly.
After a few rounds with his opponent, Billy activated Nine Dragons Unite and killed him. He then moved towards another half-step Otherworldly Realm expert.
The battle lasted for about fifteen minutes. Apart from those fighting in the Otherworldly Realm, Sky City had gained the upper hand.
With Billy’s current strength, no one below the Otherworldly Realm could withstand even one move from him. Any late-stage Holy Realm opponents he targeted met a swift end.
“Mr Billy, take care of the others; I’m going to help the leader!” Oscar Craft shouted after a few more minutes.
“Got it!” Billy replied.
Not far away, there was a loud crash as Lydia Wooler’s seal sent a third-rank Otherworldly Realm elder from the Holy Heaven Sect flying, blood spraying into the air. The elder was severely injured and had less than sixty percent of his strength left.
Before he could stabilize himself, a spiritual power sword materialized in front of him. His pupils contracted in shock as the sword pierced his throat, sending a jet of blood spurting out. The elder fell from the sky.
Simultaneously, three or four thousand meters away, Joel Wooler’s spear pierced through another elder’s heart. The elder tried to speak but couldn’t utter a word before falling from the sky.
“Miss Wooler, are you alright?” Billy asked as he approached Lydia Wooler.
He was deeply impressed by her skills; she was far more capable than he had anticipated-a true prodigy at her age!
“Thank you for your concern, Mr Billy. I’m fine…” Lydia Wooler smiled but then frowned. “Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?” Billy asked.
“More people from the Holy Heaven Sect are coming,” Lydia Wooler looked into the distance.
Billy followed her gaze and saw ripples in the air. An elder dressed in black robes appeared within their sight. Holding a dark staff and wearing Holy Heaven Sect attire, he exuded no aura but radiated an overwhelming pressure that enveloped the entire area.
Everyone except those in the Otherworldly Realm felt suffocated by his presence.
