As the oppressive aura swept through the void, many shoppers felt an immediate sense of suffocation.
They involuntarily gasped and looked up at the sky.
Soon, a group of people flew over from a distance.
Leading them was an elderly man with white hair, his age indiscernible, eyes sharp and surrounded by a powerful aura.
From his presence, it was clear he was in the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm.
Following closely behind him were two middle-aged men, both in the mid-stage of the Entering Dao Realm.
The dozen or so people behind them all exuded a mid to late-stage Otherworldly Realm aura, each with a hostile expression.
“Carr family?” Soul Chaser frowned slightly.
“Probably not!” Bob shook his head. “The Carr family shouldn’t be able to send out a late-stage Entering Dao Realm warrior!”
“Even if they’re not from the Carr family, they must be related!” Frostblade said with a frown.
“Anyone who doesn’t want trouble should leave immediately!” The white-haired elder leading the group shouted.
Upon hearing this, the crowd scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.
Within minutes, only Ian Blade and Night Orchid’s group remained.
“Will you come with us willingly, or do we need to use force?” The white-haired elder, Deegan Bowman, asked Ian Blade’s group.
“State your name!” Bob demanded.
“Does it matter?” Deegan Bowman replied.
“Not really!” Bob shrugged. “But do you know what you’re doing?”
“My patience is limited. You’d better decide quickly!” Deegan Bowman ignored Bob’s question.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Carr family sent you, right?” Night Orchid asked. “I’m curious, how did they describe us to you…”
“Enough talk. If you won’t come willingly, we’ll make you!” A middle-aged man from the opposing group said sternly.
“A word of advice!” Night Orchid continued.
“No matter who you are, it’s not too late to stop before things get out of hand. Otherwise…”
“Attack!” Deegan Bowman interrupted, waving his hand.
As soon as he spoke, he launched a palm strike towards Night Orchid.
“Night Orchid, watch out!” Felicia and Alex Long shouted simultaneously.
Ian Blade frowned deeply, summoning all his strength to wield his large blade and intercept the attack.
A muffled sound echoed as Ian Blade was thrown back three to four hundred meters, a trail of blood in the air.
He landed heavily on the ground, rolling several times before sitting up, his breath chaotic.
The gap between him and Deegan Bowman was almost an entire realm. Even though he could challenge opponents above his level, he was no match for Deegan Bowman.
Deegan Bowman had only used sixty to seventy percent of his power; otherwise, Ian Blade’s condition would have been much worse.
“Ian!” Bob and the others shouted in unison.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me!” Ian Blade stood up after spitting out another mouthful of blood. “Don’t fight him head-on. Just stall him for a few minutes!”
“Got it!” They nodded in response.
Before Ian Blade’s words had even faded, the rest of the opposing group had already attacked.
“Night Orchid, everyone be careful!”
Bob shouted as he wielded his sword, forming the ‘Fallen Moon’ technique to meet one of the mid-stage Entering Dao Realm men’s attacks.
In an instant, a sharp sword light containing thunderous power flashed out, creating a dark crack in the void.
The ‘Fallen Moon’ technique was a Perceiving Dao Realm skill. Even though Bob was only in the late-stage Otherworldly Realm, using it with all his might allowed him to contend with an early-stage Entering Dao Realm opponent.
“Overestimating yourself!”
However, the opponent didn’t take Bob seriously at all, showing a disdainful expression.
Their attacks collided, creating powerful shockwaves that sent both Bob and his opponent flying three to four hundred meters back.
The opponent had clearly underestimated Bob, resulting in a draw.
“Not bad. You managed to push me back this far. Interesting!” The man steadied himself and narrowed his eyes. “Try this!”
He quickly flashed forward, hands flipping as a powerful mark swept towards Bob like a storm.
Sensing the power of this move, Bob frowned slightly. He knew he couldn’t take it head-on.
Without hesitation, he dodged to the side.
“Let’s see how long you can dodge!” The man wasn’t about to let up. He launched several more attacks while speaking.
Bob didn’t engage directly but was still hit by the shockwaves several times, sustaining serious injuries and losing more than half his combat strength.
Meanwhile, Felicia and Night Orchid were already sitting on the ground, heavily injured and unable to fight.
Deegan Bowman was in the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm, and the other middle-aged man was in the mid-stage. Naturally, Felicia and her group couldn’t match them. After a few rounds, they were all incapacitated.
“Deangelo Bowman, stop playing around. Finish this quickly!” Deegan Bowman shouted at the man fighting Bob.
“Got it!” Deangelo Bowman replied loudly and looked at Bob. “Kid, I’m done playing with you. Time to go down!”
With that, his aura surged again as he formed a four-horned beast that charged at Bob with great force, creating a storm in its wake.
“Bob, watch out!” Night Orchid and the others shouted simultaneously from where they lay on the ground.
At that moment, a beam of blade light descended from the sky like a hot knife through butter, slicing through the four-horned beast and continuing towards Deangelo Bowman.
Deangelo Bowman’s body froze in mid-air for a moment before he looked down at the bloodline on his body and fell headfirst to the ground.
“Deangelo Bowman!” Deegan Bowman cried out in pain.
He then looked up at Casey and the others who had arrived and shouted angrily, “You bastards! Prepare to die!”
As he spoke, his aura exploded as he launched over a dozen violent attacks.
However, halfway through his attack, a tangible wave of energy swept over him, sending him flying like a leaf in the wind.
In mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood as his internal organs shifted. He landed heavily on the ground and twitched a few times before going still.
The one who attacked was White Feather!
Given its current strength, it had shown mercy by not turning Deegan Bowman into a mist of blood instantly.
“Grand Elder!” The remaining opponents cried out in pain simultaneously.
