As his words fell, a dozen figures rose into the air from the City Lord’s Mansion courtyard.
Leading them were Lorenzo Reid, the current head of Phoenix Feather Sect, and his mother, Phoebe Reid.
“Our Phoenix Feather Sect has always stayed out of your Yin Yang Sect’s affairs. Are you trying to push us too far?” Lorenzo Reid said sternly, looking at the other party.
“Staying out of each other’s affairs? What a joke!” Death responded coldly.
“Holy Heaven Sect’s leader Carmelo Aguirre was my junior brother. Your Phoenix Feather Sect conspired with outsiders to overthrow Holy Heaven Sect and even killed my junior brother. And now you talk about staying out of each other’s affairs?”
“What a joke! I’ve dealt with Carmelo Aguirre my whole life and never heard he had a senior brother!” Lorenzo Reid scoffed.
He knew exactly what the other party was thinking!
Seeing that Holy Heaven Sect had been destroyed and there were no sects left in Holy Heaven City to fear, they came to take advantage of the situation!
“Do I need to report my relationship with my junior brother to you?” Death’s tone shifted.
“Enough nonsense. If you don’t submit, prepare for your sect’s destruction!”
“I advise you, Holy Heaven City is not as easy as you think!” Phoebe Reid said sternly, her brows furrowed.
“Before things get worse, you’d better leave with your people. Otherwise, bear the consequences!”
“Haha, are you counting on Billy to save you?” Death sneered.
“If he dares to come, that’s perfect. He killed so many from Yin Yang Sect; I haven’t had the chance to settle accounts with him yet!”
“You know Mr. Billy?” Phoebe Reid was slightly taken aback.
As she spoke, her heart sank. Since the other party knew about Billy and still dared to cause trouble at Holy Heaven Sect, they were clearly prepared.
She had already assessed Death’s cultivation but couldn’t sense any fluctuations, indicating he was above her level.
Initially planning to delay until Billy arrived for help, Phoebe Reid now felt her heart tighten again after hearing Death’s words.
“You think I’d come seeking revenge without knowing who killed my junior brother?” Death responded coldly.
“That kid got lucky. He happened to catch my junior brother when he had a problem with his cultivation. Otherwise, with his meager skills, how could he be my junior brother’s match?”
“If he dares to come today, Holy Heaven City will be his burial ground!”
With that, he waved his hand and spoke sternly.
“Everyone listen up! Kill anyone from City Lord’s Mansion who refuses to submit!”
“Understood!” Three or four hundred people responded simultaneously, their momentum rising as the pressure in the air thickened.
“We’re here to help you, Elder Phoenix!”
At that moment, an elder’s voice rang out.
Seven or eight groups of people flew in from different directions in the city, each group numbering around a hundred.
These were members of several top-ranking sects in Holy Heaven City, all skilled fighters.
“A bunch of ants!” Death glanced at the seven or eight hundred people with disdain.
Among them, the strongest were only at the late stage of Otherworldly Realm and naturally not worth his attention as an Entering Dao Realm expert.
“Thank you Elder Yu and all sect leaders!” Phoebe Reid shouted loudly.
“They are from Yin Yang Sect and very strong. You are no match for them; don’t make unnecessary sacrifices!”
“Elder Reid, you’re being too polite!” another elder responded loudly.
“Holy Heaven City is our home. When it’s in trouble, we have a duty to protect it!”
“Even if we can’t win, we’ll fight. Killing one is enough; killing two is a bonus!”
“Fight them!” The seven or eight hundred people responded loudly in unison.
“Fools!” Death waved his hand again: “If they want to die, grant their wish. Kill them!”
With his command, three or four hundred messengers between life and death charged at the crowd with two-meter-long scythes in hand.
“Kill!” The seven or eight hundred people from Holy Heaven City also launched their attack simultaneously.
At the same time, nearly a thousand people flew out from City Lord’s Mansion and joined the battle.
The scene quickly descended into intense fighting; figures blurred in the air amidst flashing blades and swords while energy waves surged violently.
The two Vice Sect Masters of Yin Yang Sect also rushed out simultaneously, each targeting one of the sect leaders and their core members.
Both were first-rank Entering Dao Realm cultivators and thus not afraid of being outnumbered by their opponents.
“Don’t fight recklessly! Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices! Just hold them off; help will come!” Phoebe Reid shouted loudly as she looked around.
Her voice amplified by Chi power reached everyone’s ears, causing some who were ready for a desperate fight to slow down their attacks.
“Let’s see if you can hold on until then!”
Death said coldly before charging towards Phoebe Reid and her son with a wave of his hand.
“Elder Reid! Let’s join forces against him!” Elder Yu shouted as he flashed over.
Simultaneously, several sect leaders and vice leaders from four other sects along with seven or eight members of Phoenix Feather Sect’s Elder Pavilion surrounded them as well.
Soon after, sounds of intense clashes echoed from within the encirclement.
Among those on Holy Heaven City’s side was Phoebe Reid whose highest cultivation level was only half-step Entering Dao Realm-far from enough against their opponent’s strength.
In just a few blinks of an eye’s time-four or five people were sent flying-trailing arcs of blood through mid-air as they fell back down towards earth below them…
“Don’t fight him head-on-just hold him off!” Phoebe Reid shouted again while dodging another energy wave thrown by Death-others also evaded quickly…
“I’d like to see how long you can keep dodging!”
Death shouted loudly while continuously flipping his hands-sending wave after wave crashing down like mountains-whistling winds filled entire space around them…
Though Phoebe Reid & others chose not engage directly-they couldn’t avoid being affected under such intense attacks…
Soon enough-they all sustained some injuries-but fortunately none too severe yet…
Time passed quickly-an hour flew by in blink an eye…
Grounds around City Lord’s Mansion were littered with bodies-either dead or crippled-with severed limbs scattered everywhere-a gruesome sight indeed…
Battle had reached one-sided stage-with Holy Heaven City’s side barely holding on-they were already spent force…
Out nearly two thousand fighters-only five-six hundred remained struggling-including heavily wounded Phoebe Reid & others…
Yin Yang Sect also suffered casualties-with half remaining out original three-four hundred fighters-all others lay on ground too…
Seeing situation unfold before her eyes-Phoebe Reid’s face grew solemn…
Of dozens who initially joined her against Death-only seven-eight still had fighting strength-all others lay motionless-half already lifeless…
If Billy didn’t show up soon-not even quarter-hour would pass before everyone from Holy Heaven City perished!
“Do you regret not taking chance I gave?” Death asked calmly looking at Phoebe Reid…
“I still say same thing-you want Phoenix Feather Sect submit-you’ll have kill me first!” Phoebe Reid replied sternly…
“Then die!” Death responded coldly…
As words fell-he raised hand forming seal hurling it towards Phoebe Reid…
With barely half her strength left-Phoebe Reid couldn’t possibly withstand attack without hesitation she dodged aside quickly…
At that moment-a surge energy wave swept through shattering Death’s attack into nothingness before slamming into him directly…
Though weakened-it still forced him back sliding hundred meters blood churning within him…
“Who dares?!”
Steadying himself-Death turned towards approaching figures…
