“Four people dare to storm Frost Palace and speak so arrogantly. Truly, you don’t know your place!” Jedidiah West spoke coldly.
“Do you really think Frost Palace is a place where you can do whatever you want?”
“Unwilling to release them?” Billy continued to look at Cole West. “You have one chance, think carefully!”
“If you want to save them, hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron…” Cole West began to speak again.
Before he could finish, a blade light slashed toward him.
Heavenly Fury Slash!
Cole West’s eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand to form a seal, blocking the blade light.
“Kill!” Cole West waved his hand.
Jedidiah West and the others charged at Billy and his companions.
“Mr. Billy, be careful!”
Mitchell Monroe shouted and faced Jedidiah West. Both were fifth-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm cultivators, evenly matched in strength.
Samuel faced two early-stage Breaking Emptiness Realm opponents, a man and a woman, making it difficult for him to handle both.
Just as Samuel was about to engage them, Billy moved first. A blade light flashed toward an elder at third-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm.
“Overestimating yourself!”
The elder dismissed Billy, raising his hand to create a barrier wall.
A loud explosion followed as the barrier wall shattered. The blade light continued its path, slicing through the elder’s neck.
A head flew into the air, the face filled with shock. Even in his final moments, he couldn’t understand how he died so easily.
“Bastard!”
Seeing this, Cole West roared in anger, sending waves of violent energy toward Billy.
“Harleen, don’t fight head-on. Just stall them!” Billy called out to Harleen as he moved forward.
He had intended for Purple Spirit to assist, but Purple Spirit had told him that it had absorbed too much spiritual energy a few days ago and hadn’t fully digested it yet. It suggested Billy use the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass instead.
Billy’s mouth twitched at Purple Spirit’s words. Was this indigestion?
“Got it!”
Harleen responded, gripping her feather sword as she charged forward.
With her strength, facing twenty or thirty Perfection Emptiness Realm experts wasn’t easy, but it wouldn’t be simple for them to take her down either.
The first few attackers didn’t even realize what happened before five heads flew into the air after a sword light flashed.
“Don’t be careless! Surround her!”
An elder shouted as twenty people quickly spread out, encircling Harleen.
“Kill!” The elder commanded, and the group attacked Harleen simultaneously, waves of energy surging forward.
Harleen’s eyes narrowed slightly as four clones spread out, each forming Phantom Sword Techniques to meet the attackers.
The result was predictable; after a flurry of sword lights, over ten people fell from the sky, lifeless before they hit the ground.
Harleen retracted her clones. The Thousand Shadow Clone Technique was powerful but consumed a lot of Chi power, especially when combined with the Phantom Sword Technique.
After one move, her Chi power was depleted by three or four-tenths, making it unsustainable for long periods.
“You deserve to die!”
The elder shouted angrily, leading the remaining eight or nine people in another charge.
Harleen didn’t engage them directly this time. She took out two Chi Condensing Pills and swallowed them before retreating a thousand meters.
“Let’s see how long you can run!” The elder frowned and chased after her.
“You talk too much!” Harleen took a deep breath and flicked her wrist, releasing a sharp sword energy.
The sword energy tore through the void, creating a rift before piercing through the elder’s chest.
Staring at the blood hole in his chest, the elder opened his mouth before falling freely from the sky.
He was at eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm and had assumed Harleen couldn’t use her trump card after expending so much Chi power with the Thousand Shadow Clone Technique. He hadn’t expected that she could still kill him with one strike even without using her trump card.
After dealing with the elder, Harleen quickly moved aside to recover her Chi power.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away, a loud crash echoed from Billy and Cole West’s battle zone as both figures were sent flying back eight or nine hundred meters.
In a few minutes of exchanging blows, Billy was slightly at a disadvantage. However, his physical resilience matched Cole West’s, so he wasn’t seriously harmed.
He hadn’t used the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass because he wanted to practice his blade techniques. Having recently advanced several levels, he saw Cole West as a good opponent for practice.
“I underestimated you!” Cole West steadied himself and spoke in a deep voice.
He finally understood how Silas West had died at Billy’s hands. This level of combat ability put even him under pressure, let alone Silas West at fifth-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm.
He couldn’t fathom how Billy could challenge someone across such a significant realm gap. This was beyond extraordinary.
In the past ten thousand years in the fifth-rank star domain, no one like him had ever appeared!
“A month ago, I didn’t plan to hold anything against Frost Palace,” Billy said after catching his breath. “But you sent people to City of the Unclaimed and killed so many. You also captured Opal and Amber. You led Frost Palace to its doom!”
“After today, Frost Palace will no longer exist in this star domain!”
“Such arrogance!” Cole West didn’t rush to attack. “You may be extraordinary, but do you really think I can’t kill you?”
“Make your move. I know you have a trump card,” Billy replied calmly.
“As you wish!” Cole West responded coldly.
With those words, an even more violent aura exploded from him. The surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered above them, fierce winds howled, and the sky darkened significantly.
The water vapor in the air quickly turned into ice particles, which then coalesced into a massive ice block about eight or nine hundred meters in size.
With a downward press of Cole West’s hand, the enormous ice block hurtled toward Billy like a meteorite from space.
“Interesting!” Billy’s pupils contracted slightly.
Even if he wanted to dodge now, it was too late.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his full strength to form a Phantom Blade Technique and slashed out.
The void trembled as a massive black hole appeared at the point of impact, lingering for a long time before closing.
Simultaneously, Billy plummeted several hundred meters, leaving an arc of blood in the air.
Cole West’s trump card wasn’t easy to counter. Taking it head-on reduced Billy’s combat power by two or three-tenths.
But it wasn’t over yet!
As Billy struggled to stabilize himself, Cole West pursued him again, sending another violent seal toward him.
Billy was sent flying a thousand meters away, his aura becoming more chaotic and his face pale.
“Hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron!” Cole West’s voice echoed in Billy’s ears.
