“Impossible to be mistaken!” Purple Spirit responded.
After a brief pause, she continued, “Billy, can you persuade that ball of white light to help you?”
“No way!” Billy’s mouth twitched. “He’s asleep and can’t be woken up!”
Purple Spirit was silent for a moment before continuing, “There’s another way we can try!”
“What way?” Billy asked.
“The spiritual energy inside that barrier is very abundant. If I absorb all of it, my strength should increase significantly, and I might be able to fight him!”
“What do you mean?” Billy was slightly stunned. “You can absorb all the spiritual energy from a place?”
“I couldn’t before, but now I can!” Purple Spirit responded.
“Really?” Billy was stunned again. “You mean you can now enhance your strength by absorbing spiritual energy?”
“I’m a Spiritual Line Origin. I naturally enhance my strength by absorbing spiritual energy!” Purple Spirit responded.
“I know that, but that’s not what I meant,” Billy shook his head vigorously.
“I mean, can you now absorb all the spiritual energy from a place at once and then quickly level up?”
If this were true, it would be quite interesting!
In the future, if they went to a planet they didn’t like, they could have Purple Spirit absorb all the spiritual energy from that planet!
On one hand, it could enhance Purple Spirit’s combat power.
On the other hand, it could indirectly destroy the planet since no living beings could survive long without spiritual energy.
“Theoretically, yes!” Purple Spirit said.
“However, my current level is too low to absorb too much at once.”
“For example, even without interference, in a big city like Akabuchi City, I could only absorb about one-tenth of the spiritual energy at once.”
“Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in such places isn’t very high. Even if I absorbed all the spiritual energy there, it wouldn’t help me much.”
“It’s different from this canyon ahead. The concentration of spiritual energy here is very high. If I could absorb all the spiritual energy at once, it would have a significant effect.”
“Understood!” Billy nodded.
As they conversed, the opposing group had already arrived several hundred meters away.
Rigoberto Bush’s eyes first scanned White Feather, showing a hint of surprise.
His earlier move, though not at full strength, was something even a ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm practitioner might not withstand.
Yet White Feather was only slightly injured!
A flying beast with such combat power couldn’t possibly exist in the entire Akabuchi star domain!
“You killed so many of my people in Black Rock Gorge. You really don’t know your limits!” Rigoberto Bush turned to Billy.
“Do you know? Nothing like this has happened in Black Rock Gorge for nearly a thousand years!”
“What should I…”
“My people?” Billy interrupted him.
“Your people?” Rigoberto Bush was slightly stunned.
“The two people you kidnapped from Akabuchi City!” Billy responded calmly.
“So you came for those two women!” Rigoberto Bush didn’t deny it and squinted slightly.
“Harleen and Ivy were indeed captured by you!” White Tiger frowned and shouted.
“I have a question I’m curious about!” Rigoberto Bush ignored White Tiger and continued looking at Billy. “How did you know they were in my Black Rock Gorge?”
“If you release them immediately and tell me who hired you, we can let this go!” Billy didn’t answer his question.
“Otherwise, after today, there will be no more Black Rock Gorge in the Akabuchi star domain!”
Casey and the others twitched their mouths.
Boss, can we be more low-key?
Although they couldn’t gauge Rigoberto Bush’s cultivation level, they had heard about his strength.
Half-step Perceiving Dao Realm!
This was definitely the strongest opponent they had encountered so far!
“Hahaha…” Hearing Billy’s words, Rigoberto Bush laughed out loud.
The others also looked at Billy with disdain as if they were looking at an idiot.
“Young man, you’re very humorous!” Rigoberto Bush stopped laughing and looked at Billy coldly.
“If you commit suicide to apologize, I might consider leaving your body intact. Otherwise, not only you but everyone around you…”
Before he finished speaking, a purple flame burst from Billy’s body and quickly shot toward him.
“Hmm?” Rigoberto Bush’s pupils contracted coldly.
Without time to think, he raised his hand to create a barrier wall in front of him.
With a muffled sound, the barrier wall shattered instantly, and Rigoberto Bush was sent flying hundreds of meters back.
However, being a half-step Perceiving Dao Realm expert and with the barrier wall cushioning the impact, he wasn’t severely affected, only slightly disordered in breath.
Before he could see what had attacked him, a purple sword had already appeared in front of him.
Unity of man and sword!
For Purple Spirit, only by catching the opponent off guard could she have a chance to fight; otherwise, she was no match.
So she had to use her trump card before the opponent was fully prepared for any chance of success.
The purple sword moved as fast as lightning, tearing through the void and appearing in front of Rigoberto Bush in an instant.
Rigoberto Bush frowned and instinctively raised his hand to grab forward. The void twisted instantly, slowing down the purple sword’s speed.
However, because Rigoberto Bush acted hastily and only used seventy to eighty percent of his strength, the purple sword broke free from the spatial confinement and shot forward rapidly.
Although Rigoberto Bush reacted quickly, he was still slashed by the purple sword at his waist, leaving a deep wound with blood spurting out.
The whole process happened in a flash. By the time others reacted, they only saw the wound on Rigoberto Bush’s body.
“You court death!” The two protectors roared and attacked Purple Spirit.
As they charged halfway, White Feather opened his mouth and spewed two waves of air toward them.
With a muffled sound, White Feather and the two protectors were sent flying backward simultaneously, both sides spitting blood.
With White Feather’s combat power, fighting one ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm practitioner was no problem. But facing two at once was challenging.
“Attack! Kill them all!” Rigoberto Bush glanced at his wound and shouted loudly.
As his voice fell, everyone behind him launched their attacks simultaneously, their momentum surging instantly.
“White Feather, don’t fight him head-on; just stall him!” Billy shouted toward White Feather as he charged forward.
Casey and the others didn’t hesitate either and followed suit.
“Kid, you dare kill so many of my people in Black Rock Gorge? Prepare to die!” An elder at sixth-rank Entering Dao Realm blocked Billy’s path.
As he spoke, a tangible wave of air tore through the void toward Billy.
“You don’t have what it takes to kill me!” Billy replied as he quickly dodged to the side.
Then he flipped his wrist, creating several afterimages that condensed into an Arhat Palm Strike aimed at his opponent.
