Two blasts of purple energy struck the two individuals without any resistance, sending them flying through the air, leaving trails of blood. After being thrown eight or nine hundred meters away, they fell to the ground, lifeless.
“Elder Xavier, leave the rest to you. I’m going to help Billy!” Purple Spirit shouted in Elder Xavier’s direction.
“Alright!” Elder Xavier responded loudly.
He was already at the half-step Perceiving Dao Realm, more than capable of handling the remaining opponents.
Harleen, Ivy, and the others had been under significant pressure, surrounded and attacked by dozens of enemies, many of whom were injured. But with Elder Xavier joining the fray, the battle immediately turned in their favor. The highest cultivation level among their opponents was only at the eighth-rank Entering Dao Realm, and none could withstand a single move from Elder Xavier.
While Purple Spirit swiftly killed those four late-stage Entering Dao Realm opponents, Billy was already engaged in combat with an elder at the fifth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.
At first, the elder did not use his full strength, as he couldn’t fathom what gave Billy the confidence to challenge him. To him, a mere third-rank Entering Dao Realm cultivator could be easily defeated with just half his power.
However, after a few exchanges, the elder completely abandoned his underestimation.
Now, with his bloodline power activated, Billy’s cultivation had risen to the fifth-rank Entering Dao Realm. Even without using ‘Cracked Sky,’ just activating Nine Dragons Unite gave him combat power comparable to a half-step Perceiving Dao Realm. Combined with his formidable defensive abilities, the elder couldn’t harm him at all underestimating him.
With a loud crash, the two clashed again. Billy was thrown a thousand meters away, while the elder retreated three or four hundred meters.
“I must admit, you are the most extraordinary young man I’ve ever encountered. Given time, you might stand at the pinnacle of the Akabuchi star domain!” The elder said after catching his breath.
“But unfortunately, you’ve chosen to oppose the Holy Ghost Tribe. You won’t live to see that day…”
Before he could finish speaking, the energy wave of Celestial Black Finger had already reached him.
“So eager to die? I’ll grant your wish!” The elder raised his hand and deflected Billy’s attack with a gust of wind.
“Die!” As he prepared to strike again, Billy’s voice reached his ears.
A blade light flashed over with lightning speed, tearing a black rift in the void with a terrifying momentum.
“Hmm?!” The elder’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his pores opened wide as a sense of death enveloped him.
With no time to hesitate, he quickly activated his full strength to block it.
“You can’t block it; dodge!” Ace Hatfield’s voice rang out.
Simultaneously, the void around ‘Cracked Sky’ blade light twisted intensely, slowing its speed.
The next moment, a thunderous explosion echoed through the void as ‘Cracked Sky’ blade light and the elder’s attack collided and shattered. Several dark rifts appeared in the surrounding void.
The violent energy wave spread out in all directions. The fifth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm elder spat out blood and was thrown five or six hundred meters away. Billy also spat out blood and was thrown several hundred meters away by the impact, his breath chaotic.
Even though it wasn’t a direct hit, he couldn’t withstand an attack from an eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert. Fortunately, his defensive ability was strong enough that his injuries weren’t severe.
However, before he could stabilize himself, another violent energy wave came roaring towards him.
“Billy, watch out!” Purple Spirit’s voice rang out as she rushed forward.
With a loud crash, she was sent flying like a broken kite and fell to the ground, her breath extremely weak.
“Purple Spirit!” Billy shouted and hurriedly chased after her.
“Think about your own survival first!” Ace Hatfield’s voice echoed again.
Before he finished speaking, a second wave of attacks flashed over with a fierce wind and thunderous momentum.
At that moment, a mark carrying thunderous power swept in and blocked Ace Hatfield’s attack, sending him flying four or five hundred meters away.
After stabilizing himself, he looked towards the direction of Institute’s rear mountain. A phantom figure was approaching through the air.
This person was the soul remnant left by Canyon View Institute’s first dean. It was Canyon View Institute’s greatest trump card!
His appearance clearly indicated that Elder Xavier had summoned him!
For Elder Xavier, it was best not to use this trump card if possible since it would be gone once used. But seeing Billy’s situation, he knew there was no choice; without using this trump card, they wouldn’t survive today!
“You finally showed yourself!” Ace Hatfield squinted at the opponent.
While speaking, he roughly assessed the opponent’s strength and felt a pang of unease. The opponent’s strength slightly exceeded his expectations, causing him to frown tightly.
“Haven’t you been waiting for me to show myself?” The phantom figure looked at Ace Hatfield and spoke in a deep voice. “Make your move; let me see what the current leader of Holy Ghost Tribe is capable of!”
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand towards Ace Hatfield and clenched it. The void around them began to distort.
“You will see!” Ace Hatfield erupted with overwhelming momentum, restoring the void to its original state.
Then he continuously flipped his hands, unleashing over a dozen violent energy waves towards the phantom figure.
Although his opponent’s strength seemed slightly superior, it was just a soul remnant that wouldn’t last long. He couldn’t retreat without a fight; he believed that holding on for ten rounds would suffice.
“Is this all the strength you have as Holy Ghost Tribe’s leader?” The phantom figure spoke calmly.
As he spoke, he swept out a gust of wind that instantly shattered Ace Hatfield’s attacks.
Ace Hatfield spat out blood and was thrown a thousand meters away, his breath chaotic and a serious expression on his face.
As he stabilized himself, the phantom figure flashed and pursued him. This time, Ace Hatfield didn’t choose to confront him head-on and instantly disappeared from his original spot. In a blink of an eye, he reappeared several kilometers away.
“Trying to buy time? You’re mistaken!” The phantom figure quickly chased after him.
Meanwhile, Billy and Purple Spirit had landed on the ground. Purple Spirit’s breath was extremely weak; her condition was dire. With her current strength, taking a direct hit from an eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert and surviving was already a miracle.
“Purple Spirit, how are you?” Billy asked after taking a deep breath.
“Billy… I… I need to rest inside your body for a while. I might not be able to help you for some time… Be careful…” Purple Spirit said before transforming into an energy flame and entering Billy’s body.
