“Let’s join forces and stop him!” the old man shouted immediately, summoning all his strength to face the dragon. He knew he couldn’t handle it alone.
“Alright!” The old woman didn’t hesitate, raising her hand to form an eight-horned beast that charged at the dragon.
A deafening explosion shook the void, and the surrounding space seemed to crack. The old man and woman were blasted a thousand meters away, blood arcing through the air. The old man, having taken the brunt of the dragon’s attack, was severely injured. His bones and veins shattered, he hit the ground heavily, unable to utter a word before his head slumped lifelessly.
The old woman fared slightly better but still had several broken bones, reducing her combat strength by two-thirds. Billy, though not unscathed from their combined attack, was thrown four or five hundred meters away with only a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Overall, his injuries were not severe.
Billy steadied himself and pointed towards the old woman again. Injured, she dodged aside immediately. But before she could catch her breath, a shadowy spiritual power blade flashed towards her. “Damn!” she cursed instinctively, raising her hand to block it. But in her current state, she couldn’t stop the blade.
The shadowy blade pierced her chest and exploded inside her, shattering her internal organs. She spat out a mouthful of blood and floated away like a fallen leaf in autumn, dead before hitting the ground. Her face was frozen in shock; even in death, she couldn’t believe it. Two eighth-rank Otherworldly Realm experts had joined forces against an early-stage Otherworldly Realm opponent and ended up like this! Such an opponent was too monstrous!
Meanwhile, a muffled sound echoed from a distance. Harleen and a sixth-rank Otherworldly Realm man were both thrown hundreds of meters away, each bearing injuries. Originally, two men had been attacking Harleen together; one fifth-rank Otherworldly Realm had already been sent to hell by her sword. The remaining sixth-rank Otherworldly Realm man could barely hold his own against Harleen for a few more rounds.
“You killed him! I’ll make you pay! I will…” he roared at Harleen.
Before he could finish, a terrifying wave of energy surged from behind him like thunder. “Huh?!” Sensing danger, he tried to dodge but couldn’t escape Billy’s Celestial Black Finger.
He was flung less than a hundred meters before collapsing like a deflated balloon and fell to the ground lifelessly.
“Honey, are you okay?” Billy asked as he approached Harleen.
“I’m fine!” Harleen shook her head. “Honey, go help Aubree; I’ll go assist Ivy!”
“Alright!” Billy replied and dashed towards Aubree’s direction.
Aubree was evenly matched with her opponent; both were injured from their ongoing battle. “Aubree, how are you?” Billy called out as he approached.
“Mr. Billy, I’m fine!” Aubree responded loudly. “Don’t worry about me; go help White Feather and Purple Spirit!”
“Take care of yourself then; if you’re outmatched, don’t push it!” Billy advised before heading off.
Aubree needed such high-level battles to unlock her potential for breaking into the Entering Dao Realm. Most importantly, Billy saw that Aubree wasn’t in immediate danger; her opponent would likely fall first at this rate.
“Mr. Billy, be careful too!” Aubree shouted back as she charged at her opponent again.
At that moment, a thunderous explosion erupted twenty or thirty kilometers away. The entire void trembled as a mushroom cloud of energy surged skyward. After the explosion subsided, a white figure shot out a thousand meters-it was White Feather, bleeding from the mouth.
“White Feather, are you alright?” Purple Spirit shouted.
White Feather steadied himself and shook his head with two chirps.
“You both will die!” Carmelo Aguirre’s voice boomed as the air around him churned violently and twisted space as if to shatter the sky.
An ancient beast materialized in mid-air and charged at Purple Spirit and White Feather like a small mountain. The void cracked like a spider web wherever it passed but was quickly repaired by the laws of nature.
“It’s not certain who will die!” Purple Spirit retorted as she transformed into a purple longsword and charged at the beast-unity of man and sword!
Sensing the power of this move, White Feather flapped his wings and followed suit without pausing to catch his breath.
Another thunderous crash echoed through the sky as their attacks collided violently with Carmelo’s beast. The void trembled as if about to collapse.
Billy felt a powerful wave of energy hit him from three or four kilometers away and paused momentarily.
Meanwhile, Purple Spirit and White Feather were blasted two thousand meters away before stopping. Purple Spirit had taken most of the force from Carmelo’s attack and was severely weakened, barely standing. White Feather was slightly better off but still badly shaken and bleeding profusely.
Carmelo Aguirre wasn’t unscathed either; although he was a fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm expert, both White Feather and Purple Spirit had third-rank Entering Dao Realm strength. Their combined attack left him injured with blood at his mouth and his combat strength reduced by two-thirds-his face darkened with anger.
He had underestimated them initially but now realized their true power. However, being an Entering Dao Realm mid-stage expert meant he wasn’t easily defeated. After a brief recovery, his aura surged again as he vanished instantly only to reappear four or five hundred meters from White Feather.
“Hand over your beast core!” he demanded as powerful energy restrained White Feather and began pulling him towards Carmelo.
“White Feather, watch out!” Purple Spirit shouted as she prepared for another unity of man and sword attack despite her weakened state-though its power would be diminished now.
“Purple Spirit, I’ll handle this!” Billy’s voice rang out as a massive hand appeared in mid-air filled with killing intent. The shadowy hand descended towards Carmelo Aguirre with roaring winds and thunderous lightning.
