“Sorry, you wasted your last chance!” Billy responded calmly to Raul Duffy’s full-force attack.
Without any tricks, he raised his hand and pointed at the rapidly spinning stone sphere. With a loud bang, the massive stone sphere shattered like paper, scattering debris everywhere.
A strong shockwave spread rapidly in all directions. Raul Duffy spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing into the stone wall behind him and creating a large pit before falling to the ground.
His bones were at least a quarter broken, his meridians were damaged to some extent, and blood kept pouring from his mouth. His combat strength dropped to less than forty percent.
On the other side, Lewis Ward, who had just gotten up from the ground, was also sent flying. Already injured, he was now in even worse shape. He fell heavily to the ground and lay there like a pile of mud, blood gushing from his mouth, barely clinging to life.
“How… how is this possible…” Raul Duffy looked at Billy with endless shock on his face.
He couldn’t understand how Billy had suddenly become so powerful. Just a few days ago, in their last fight, Billy had almost taken his life with his final move. But he could tell that was Billy’s strongest card at the time.
Now, with just a casual point, Billy had severely injured him. Moreover, it was clear that Billy had held back, likely wanting to keep him alive. Otherwise, he would already be dead.
How had Billy become so strong in just a few days? It was completely incomprehensible.
If he knew that Billy had an entity inside him capable of instantly killing his master, he might have understood. Billy’s ability to injure him so severely in one move was clearly due to the help of the Purple Spirit.
“Do you regret not cherishing your last chance?” Billy walked towards him.
Raul Duffy opened his mouth with difficulty, his face extremely pale.
Meanwhile, Lewis Ward struggled to pull out a sound transmission stone from his body. Just as he was about to make a move, a blade of spiritual power flashed across his throat. He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word as blood gushed out, and he died.
“You… you dare kill him?” Raul Duffy’s pupils contracted.
“I not only dare to kill him, but I also dare to kill you. Do you want to try?” Billy said calmly.
Without thinking further, Raul Duffy gritted his teeth and tried to escape towards the cave entrance. He had no doubt that Billy would kill him. In his eyes, Billy was a madman capable of anything.
“Did I allow you to leave?” Billy’s voice reached his ears.
Before the words were finished, a gust of wind swept out, sending Raul Duffy flying again. He crashed to the ground and spat out blood, his face filled with despair. He knew very well that today he might really meet his end here.
Before he could get up, three silver needles pierced into his body. “Ah…” Raul Duffy screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression extremely twisted.
“Stop… stop… I’ll tell you whatever you want to know…” he screamed while rolling on the ground.
After about a minute, Billy sent out a palm wind that knocked the three silver needles out. Raul Duffy lay on the ground gasping for breath, completely exhausted.
“Remember, I will only ask my questions once. You better cooperate, or face the consequences!” Billy walked up to Raul Duffy and asked, “What are you helping Kyree Whitney plot? How do you plan to deal with my wife?”
“Huh?” Raul Duffy was stunned for a moment before responding with difficulty, “Your… your wife?”
“Harleen!” Billy replied.
“What?” Raul Duffy exclaimed in surprise. He never imagined that one of the two newly recruited geniuses at the Institute was actually Billy’s wife!
Previously, like others at the Institute, he didn’t believe Harleen was married and thought she had made it up to avoid trouble. But now her husband was here at the Institute!
“You… you’re really Miss Knight’s lover?” Raul Duffy asked again.
“You better answer my question directly!” Billy said sternly.
“Kyree Whitney… he has taken a liking to Miss Knight and Miss Chandler… He asked me to help set up a trap…” Raul Duffy responded with difficulty. He then explained in detail all the dirty dealings between him and Kyree Whitney.
“Courting death!” After hearing Raul Duffy’s words, Billy’s body exuded a chilling killing intent. In his mind, Kyree Whitney was already sentenced to death!
To him, anyone who dared target Harleen and Ivy was doomed from the moment they conceived such thoughts!
“What is Kyree Whitney’s background?” Billy suppressed his anger and continued asking.
“He… he’s Vice-President Noah Knapp’s closed-door disciple…” Raul Duffy added, “But his identity is somewhat special…”
“How special?” Billy asked.
“He’s not from Canyon View City but from Akabuchi City’s Whitney family. The Whitney family holds a significant position in Akabuchi City…” Raul Duffy responded.
“Is that so?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly. In his mind, those sentenced to death would not have their fate altered by their family background!
“Who is ranked first among Canyon View Four Talents?” Billy changed the topic after a brief pause.
“Beckett Baxter!” Raul Duffy replied.
“What is his background?” Billy continued asking.
“I don’t know…” Raul Duffy shook his head. “His identity is very mysterious… There are probably less than three people in the entire Institute who know his background…”
“What is his cultivation level?”
“Two months ago, when he went into seclusion, he was at the fourth-rank Otherworldly Realm. If everything goes well, he should break through to the fifth-rank Otherworldly Realm this time.”
“Not bad!” Billy was slightly surprised. Under forty years old and already at the fifth-rank Otherworldly Realm; indeed quite extraordinary!
“Did you really kill my master?” Raul Duffy asked after a brief pause.
Before he could finish speaking, a token floated in front of him-it was Princeton Lopez’s token. Every Elder Pavilion member of Canyon View Institute had a token engraved with their name. This token was naturally taken from Princeton Lopez’s storage ring.
“You… you really killed my master…” Looking at the token, Raul Duffy no longer had any doubts.
Then he looked at Billy with despair on his face. “Before I die… can you tell me how you did it? How could you kill…”
“Do you want to live?” Billy interrupted him after putting away the token.
“You… you’re not going to kill me?”
Hearing Billy’s words, Raul Duffy’s eyes flashed with hope amidst his despair.
