“How about this?” Vicente Cunningham responded. “Since you helped me out, you can leave if you give up one of the two items. How does that sound?”
“Ancestor…” Sovereign began to speak but was cut off.
“Shut up!” Vicente Cunningham interrupted.
“What if I refuse?” Billy’s eyes narrowed.
“Then you leave both items behind!” Vicente Cunningham replied.
“If you change your mind now and let me go, I can pretend none of this happened. Do you want to reconsider?” Billy continued calmly.
“Haha, you might not understand the situation…” Vicente Cunningham sneered coldly.
Before he finished speaking, Billy attacked. His blade slashed through the air, sending a sharp light towards Vicente Cunningham. For someone who repaid kindness with betrayal, Billy had no more words to waste.
“You seek death!” Vicente Cunningham roared, throwing a punch that shattered the blade light. Billy was forced back hundreds of meters, exiting the cave.
“If you want the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Skystone, come and get them!” Billy said as he leaped out of the cave.
“Chase him! Don’t let him escape!” Vicente Cunningham commanded with a wave of his hand.
“Ancestor, he was introduced by Miss Sanaa. If we kill him, Miss Sanaa…” Sovereign took a deep breath and spoke up.
“We must obtain the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Skystone!” Vicente Cunningham declared as he stepped out of the cave.
“Sovereign, what should we do?” the white-robed man asked, looking at Sovereign.
“Let’s go out and see!” Sovereign frowned slightly and followed Vicente Cunningham outside with the white-robed man.
Soon, they arrived outside the cave to find Billy and Vicente Cunningham standing in mid-air.
“You’re brave! You didn’t even run!” Vicente Cunningham said to Billy.
Billy didn’t waste words and attacked again, using the Phantom Blade Technique. The blade light tore through the air at high speed. He had no intention of running; it was a perfect opportunity to test the power of his blade.
Vicente Cunningham didn’t back down, throwing another punch at the blade light. Both were forced back hundreds of meters. The modified blade, combined with his bloodline power, significantly boosted Billy’s combat strength. A single phantom blade could challenge an opponent of a higher realm.
Just as Vicente Cunningham stabilized himself and was about to speak, Billy appeared nearby, his blade light flashing. The speed surprised even Vicente Cunningham. Clearly, Billy had activated his Nether Wings.
In a panic, Vicente Cunningham instinctively raised his hand to block. After a loud crash, he was forced back a hundred meters. As he retreated, he sent a mark flying towards Billy. Billy dodged quickly and sent another blade light towards Vicente Cunningham. Vicente Cunningham squinted his eyes and threw another punch, shattering the blade light and causing a surge of energy waves.
As he punched, Vicente Cunningham’s figure disappeared from sight, leaving a shadow rushing towards Billy. “Die!” he shouted fiercely.
In an instant, a massive energy ball formed in the void and spun towards Billy, distorting the space around it. The energy ball was fast and large, making it difficult for Billy to dodge. He decided to counterattack instead.
Phantom Blade Technique!
The blade light collided with the energy ball, creating a small black hole in the void. The energy ball’s force weakened but still contained strong energy as it hit Billy’s defensive aura.
Billy spat out blood and was thrown back a thousand meters, his breath chaotic. The blade light had absorbed some of the force; otherwise, even with his strong resilience, he would have been severely injured.
As Vicente Cunningham’s aura peaked, his cultivation level became clear: seventh-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm!
“You surprised me by standing in mid-air after taking my attack!” Vicente Cunningham looked at Billy coldly. “But no matter how impressive you are, you have no chance against me. Do you really intend to keep resisting?”
“I’m sorry to tell you that after today, there will be no Netherworld Palace in this world!” Billy replied calmly.
“Hahaha…” Vicente Cunningham laughed loudly. “Are you joking?”
“Don’t doubt his words!” A woman’s voice rang out-it was Sanaa!
“Miss Sanaa?” Sovereign and the white-robed man were both stunned. The array protecting Netherworld City should have prevented outsiders from entering without guidance from someone inside. Yet Sanaa’s presence meant the array was useless against her. They couldn’t help but regard her with even more respect; she was truly extraordinary!
“Miss Sanaa, long time no see!” Vicente Cunningham greeted her.
“You made a foolish mistake today!” Sanaa said to Vicente Cunningham. “Do you realize that your ambition will bring ruin to the entire Netherworld Palace?”
“Haha, does Miss Sanaa intend to help him?” Vicente Cunningham sneered coldly.
“You’re not worthy of my help,” Sanaa scoffed.
“Haha, after all these years, you’re still so confident!” Vicente Cunningham sneered again. “Miss Sanaa, this matter doesn’t concern you. You’d better stay out of it. My reluctance to fight you doesn’t mean I fear you!”
“You’re an idiot!” Sanaa turned to Billy. “Sorry, you were right…”
“It’s not your fault; it’s my choice!” Billy interrupted her with a smile. “I plan to destroy this Netherworld Palace. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Don’t underestimate them; they have hidden cards!” Sanaa warned.
“I’d like to see what they have!” Billy smiled again.
“Is there no room for negotiation?” Sanaa asked.
“There is!” Billy pointed at Vicente Cunningham. “He must take his own life and offer two more treasures from Netherworld Palace; then we can end this.”
“Must he die?” Sanaa asked again.
“Absolutely!” Billy nodded firmly. When they tried to rob him of the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Skystone, he had already sentenced them to death in his heart.
“Can you spare the others in Netherworld Palace?” Sanaa asked.
“That depends on their actions,” Billy shrugged.
“Sigh…” Sanaa sighed and looked at Sovereign. “Fight or surrender-it’s your choice!”
“Haha, Miss Sanaa, you’re overestimating him,” Vicente Cunningham sneered coldly. “If you don’t intervene and he lasts three moves against me, I’ll let him leave alive!”
“Don’t be foolish in your next life!” Sanaa said before retreating a thousand meters into the air, clearly not intending to intervene.
“Ancestor…” Sovereign looked at Vicente Cunningham.
“Stay out of this; it doesn’t concern you today!” Vicente Cunningham interrupted him.
He then turned to Billy. “Make your move; if I can’t defeat you in three moves, you win!”
