His shock wasn’t just because Billy could sever one of his arms!
More importantly, as one of the vice-presidents of Canyon View Institute, he naturally recognized the Cracked Sky Blade Technique.
Before this, even the most talented geniuses had never been able to unleash more than twenty percent of the power of the Cracked Sky Blade Technique!
But just now, he could clearly feel that Billy’s strike had unleashed at least thirty percent of the technique’s power!
This was what shocked him the most!
Billy, on the other hand, steadied himself in mid-air after being knocked back a hundred meters.
However, after using ‘Cracked Sky,’ his Chi power was instantly depleted by more than half. His breath was chaotic, and his face was pale.
The Cracked Sky Blade Technique, while powerful, was evidently not easy for him to control at his current level.
At this moment, his combat strength was reduced to only thirty or forty percent. Even a Sacred Realm opponent could take his life now.
Meanwhile, the crowd on the ground fell into a dead silence once again.
This time, they were even more shocked than when Billy had killed Kyree Whitney!
They knew that Noah Knapp was a genuine Entering Dao Realm expert!
Even though he had sustained some injuries from Aubree and White Feather’s joint attack earlier, he could still exert late-stage Otherworldly Realm strength.
Yet, he had been struck by Billy, who was only at the half-step Otherworldly Realm, and had an arm severed!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it?
“Mr Billy, are you alright?” Aubree and White Feather approached Billy after a while.
Aubree was just as shocked as Noah Knapp. She hadn’t expected Billy to be able to wield such a powerful sword technique.
She had originally thought that if Billy were given another six months, she might not be able to match him.
But now it seemed that it wouldn’t even take six months; in one or two months, she might not be able to defeat Billy!
“Thank you for your concern, Aubree. I’m fine,” Billy shook his head in response.
“Luke Haynes, aren’t you going to show yourself? How long do you plan to hide?” Noah Knapp shouted angrily towards the left side after stopping the bleeding from his arm.
“A kid from outside not only killed the Institute’s talented genius but also severed one of my arms. Are you, the head of the Punishment Hall, just going to stand by and watch?”
As he spoke, he landed on the ground with a livid face.
“Vice-president, there are still many doubts about today’s incident. The Punishment Hall needs time to…” Luke Haynes’s voice rang out as he walked over from a distance.
Earlier, Kyree Whitney had claimed that the head of the Punishment Hall was not in the Institute, which was evidently a lie.
“Everyone saw it with their own eyes. What doubts could there be?” Noah Knapp shouted angrily. “I now order you as vice-president to kill that kid immediately!”
“Vice-president, I must refuse,” Luke Haynes bowed slightly.
“Outrageous!” Noah Knapp frowned. “Luke Haynes, are you openly defying orders? Do you believe…”
“Elder Noah, please calm down!” At this moment, another man’s voice interrupted.
Everyone looked over and saw it was Tyler Bailey, another vice-president of the Institute!
“Greetings, vice-president!” Everyone from the Institute, including Luke Haynes, bowed in salute.
“Mr Bailey, you’re just in time!” Noah Knapp said in a deep voice upon seeing him.
After speaking, he pointed at Billy who had just landed on the ground.
“That kid killed Kyree and severed one of my arms. You…”
“Elder Noah, please calm down. There is more to this matter than meets the eye. I have already investigated and will give you an explanation,” Tyler Bailey interrupted him again.
After speaking, he turned and looked behind him. “Raul Duffy, come out!”
As his words fell, Raul Duffy appeared in everyone’s sight, followed closely by Abdullah Daniel, who was supposed to be ‘dead.’
At this moment, although Abdullah Daniel’s face was pale and his breath weak, he was very much alive!
“Abdullah Daniel, you’re not dead?!”
Upon seeing him, Catherine Foreman, Harleen, and Ivy exclaimed simultaneously.
“Catherine, Harleen, Ivy, I apologize!” Abdullah Daniel bowed in greeting.
“You pretended to be dead to frame Ivy?” Catherine Foreman frowned.
“I’m sorry, Catherine. It was all Kyree’s idea!” Abdullah Daniel responded.
“Bastard!” Noah Knapp shouted angrily. “Kyree is already dead, and you’re still trying to frame him!”
“Elder Noah, please calm down!” Tyler Bailey replied before turning to Raul Duffy. “Explain everything to Elder Noah.”
“Alright!” Raul Duffy glanced at Billy before taking a deep breath and starting his explanation.
It took about fifteen minutes for him to detail everything that had happened.
He explained how Kyree Whitney had instructed Abdullah Daniel to fake his death and then use it to gain Harleen and Ivy’s favor.
Today, Kyree Whitney had invited Harleen and Ivy to his place with the intention of taking advantage of them.
He even prepared a high-grade colorless and odorless drug specifically brought from Akabuchi City.
“What a scoundrel!” Catherine Foreman frowned deeply.
Harleen and Ivy’s faces were also extremely grim as they felt a sense of lingering fear.
If it weren’t for Billy today, their fate would have been unimaginable.
“Nonsense!” As soon as Raul Duffy finished speaking, Noah Knapp roared again. “You’re putting all the blame on a dead man! What’s your motive?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to grab Raul Duffy.
Tyler Bailey blocked it with a palm strike.
“Mr Bailey, what do you mean by this?” Noah Knapp frowned.
“Elder Noah, you’re getting old and your energy is waning. You’re no longer suitable for the vice-president position. Step down,” Tyler Bailey said without engaging further.
“Hmm?” Noah Knapp frowned again. “Tyler Bailey, make yourself clear. What do you mean?”
“In light of your family’s past contributions to the Institute, if you voluntarily step down and leave the Institute now, I will let bygones be bygones,” Tyler Bailey replied.
“Tyler Bailey, you have some nerve! You don’t have the authority to make me…” Noah Knapp responded angrily.
“The last time with your granddaughter’s incident, the Institute already gave you a chance!” Tyler Bailey interrupted him again.
“But instead of appreciating it, you went even further. You’ve gone too far!”
“Tyler Bailey, what are you trying to say…” Noah Knapp’s expression turned grim.
“Enough! Leave now!” At this moment, another voice came through.
Everyone turned to see Spencer Bailey, the head of Canyon View Institute!
“Dean…” Noah Knapp frowned again.
“Do you really want me to reveal your dirty dealings with Holy Heaven Sect and Whitney family?” Spencer Bailey interrupted him sternly.
“Kyree Whitney’s death is largely your responsibility. Without your instigation and encouragement, he wouldn’t have dared act so recklessly in Canyon View Institute!”
“Hmm?” His words elicited gasps from those around them.
“Dean, I don’t know where you heard that from…” Noah Knapp’s face changed several times.
“Leave!” Spencer Bailey’s tone grew colder.
“Disappear before I change my mind!”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
