In no time, the three arrived at the front courtyard. Nearly a hundred people lay on the ground, either dead or severely injured.
Members of the Astonishing Cloud Sect surrounded Casey and his group, their faces filled with fear, not daring to approach.
“Sect Master!” When the crowd saw Jordan Bowman, they instinctively made way for him.
“Scoundrels, what do you take my Astonishing Cloud Sect for?” Jordan Bowman angrily confronted Casey and his companions.
“So it really is you two?” Casey ignored Jordan Bowman and looked at Iker Dale and Frederick Carr behind him.
“I’m curious, how did just a few of you manage to kill the Grand Elder?” Iker Dale squinted at Casey.
Then he turned to Harleen and Ivy with a smile, “Miss Knight, Miss Chandler, we meet again!”
“I hope you’ll still be smiling later!” Ivy retorted.
“Haha, Miss Chandler, you’re quite humorous.” Iker Dale sneered. “As long as I wish, there’s no place in Akabuchi City where I can’t laugh.”
“Then I’ll be watching!” Casey replied calmly, then turned to Jordan Bowman. “I’ll give you a chance to live.”
He pointed at Iker Dale and Frederick Carr. “Kill these two, and we can call it even today. How about it?”
“Hahaha…” Iker Dale laughed loudly. “You’re quite humorous!”
As he finished speaking, he pointed at Casey with a serious tone. “Lee, kill him!”
With that command, the black-robed elder behind him dashed forward, forming a seal with his hand and striking towards Casey.
“Mr. Kimmons, be careful!” Aubree shouted as a gust of wind roared towards the elder.
The two attacks collided with a muffled sound. Aubree was pushed back hundreds of meters, her breath slightly disordered.
The elder was at the half-step Perceiving Dao Realm level, clearly stronger than Aubree.
“Aubree, leave him to me. You handle the others,” Casey said sternly, drawing the Demon Blade from his storage ring.
Casey was at the third-rank Entering Dao Realm. With the Demon Blade and its technique, his combat power could reach late-stage Entering Dao Realm.
Though still weaker than a half-step Perceiving Dao Realm, he had a fighting chance.
“Mr. Kimmons, it’s too dangerous alone. I’ll help you!” Harleen called out, holding her feather sword as she followed.
She had assessed the strength of the Astonishing Cloud Sect members. Besides Jordan Bowman, the highest was a sixth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder, followed by one fifth-rank and two fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm members.
Ivy was at third-rank Entering Dao Realm. Though it would be challenging, she should manage.
“Harleen, don’t worry about me. Handle the others; I can hold him off for a while!” Casey shouted back.
“Overestimating yourself! Die!” The black-robed elder sneered, not taking Casey seriously as he launched another attack.
“Let’s see if you have what it takes!” Casey dodged swiftly to the side.
“How long can you keep running?” The elder chased after him.
“Mr. Kimmons, be careful! Don’t engage directly!” Harleen hesitated but then focused on her own battle.
“Attack!” Jordan Bowman commanded, charging towards Aubree.
The other elders of Astonishing Cloud Sect followed suit.
“Harleen, Ivy, be careful!” Aubree warned as she faced Jordan Bowman.
A muffled sound echoed as Aubree was pushed back several hundred meters while Jordan Bowman retreated dozens of meters.
Jordan Bowman was at half-step ninth-rank Entering Dao Realm, stronger than Aubree by one and a half levels. Without using her trump card, Aubree was at a disadvantage.
“Not bad! Take this!” Jordan Bowman attacked again, forming a wave of energy with his hand.
“Why not!” Aubree responded loudly, advancing with full strength.
Another loud clash echoed as both were pushed back several hundred meters, evenly matched.
“I gave you a chance; you refused it. Don’t blame us. After today, there will be no Astonishing Cloud Sect in Akabuchi City!” Aubree declared as she attacked again.
“Ignorant!” Jordan Bowman responded coldly as they clashed once more.
Meanwhile, the other elders engaged Harleen and Ivy in battle.
“Elders, remember to spare these two!” Iker Dale shouted from the ground.
Before he finished speaking, a figure flew out like a broken kite. Blood streaked from their waist as they fell lifelessly to the ground-the fifth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder of Astonishing Cloud Sect died with eyes wide open in disbelief.
“You deserve to die!” The sixth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder roared and attacked Harleen.
“Join him!” Harleen shouted back, unleashing a chilling sword aura with her ‘Jinghong’ sword.
“Arrogant! Let’s see…” The elder’s words were cut short as he turned into an ice sculpture.
Crack!
The ice shattered into pieces and vanished. He died without understanding how.
Seeing this, the other elders gasped in horror-too terrifying!
Meanwhile, another fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder was decapitated by Ivy’s sword slash. His head flew up as blood spurted out, his face frozen in shock.
“Hmm?!” Iker Dale and Frederick Carr’s faces changed drastically as they saw this. They fled in panic.
“Ivy, stop them!” Harleen shouted.
“Got it!” Ivy replied, creating a barrier wall in front of them.
They crashed into the barrier and fell to the ground. Silver needles sealed their powers as they hit the ground hard, breaking several ribs and writhing in pain.
“Ivy, handle this. I’ll help Mr. Kimmons!” Harleen said after killing another elder and dashed towards Casey’s location.
“Harleen, be careful!” Ivy replied.
As Ivy blocked Iker Dale and Frederick Carr, Casey clashed again with the black-robed elder and was pushed back several hundred meters.
“I know you have more tricks. Use them now or you’ll have no chance!”
The black-robed elder didn’t relent and attacked again after pushing Casey back.
“As you wish!” Casey’s eyes narrowed.
