Not long after Billy left Decadent City, he sensed someone was following him. This confirmed his suspicion that something was wrong with this man.
“Do you know why we only came out now?” the elder leading the group asked.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Billy replied calmly. “You were worried that if we were too close to Decadent City and I called for help, Miss Sanaa would arrive quickly.”
“Smart!” The elder smiled and asked again, “I have a question. Since you guessed it, why did you still dare to follow us here? What makes you think you can escape from us alone?”
“Why would I need to escape?” Billy shrugged. “You are worried about Miss Sanaa rescuing me, and I don’t want your Hall Lord to stop me from killing you. We are thousands of miles from Decadent City. Even if you call for help now, he won’t make it in time.”
This was why he only revealed the man from Heaven’s Tea House now and why he didn’t let Sanaa come with him.
Otherwise, the enemy might not have shown themselves. The battle with The Hallowed Court was inevitable; if he could deal with them separately, it would be best.
“Hahaha…” Laughter erupted from the opposing camp. “I’ve heard you’re arrogant, but I didn’t expect this level of arrogance!” Another man in a gray robe looked at Billy. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re at the ninth-rank Returning Source Realm, right? Do you know our cultivation levels?”
“It doesn’t matter what your cultivation levels are; it’s all a matter of one strike,” Billy glanced at him.
“Hahaha…” The man continued to laugh. When he finally stopped, he looked at Billy with a serious expression. “You have some nerve to kill our Young Lord. You really…”
Before he could finish, Billy had already made his move. A blade light flashed past.
“You’re courting death!” The man sneered and punched towards the blade light. But he soon realized how wrong he was.
The blade light easily tore through his punch and sliced him in half, a bloodline extending from his head to his waist. His body fell from the sky in two halves, both faces showing disbelief.
Billy’s strike not only cut through his body but also destroyed his soul. Terrifying indeed! He couldn’t believe that a Returning Source Realm kid could annihilate him with one strike.
Billy’s current cultivation could reach the second-rank Supreme Source Realm when activating his bloodline power. Even without using Heaven Killer, he could kill a mid-Supreme Source Realm body with one strike.
As for the soul, as long as the opponent’s cultivation wasn’t more than three small levels higher than his bloodline-enhanced state, one strike was enough to destroy their soul. The man was at the fifth-rank Supreme Source Realm, so the result was inevitable.
“Hmm?!” Seeing this, the others were stunned.
They hadn’t expected Billy to have such strength. Before today, they had heard of Billy’s combat prowess but didn’t know the specifics.
They thought the battle at Heaven Alliance’s base was Sanaa’s doing. Regarding Chaz Roth’s death, they heard that although Billy delivered the final blow, Chaz Roth was already severely injured, so Billy just took advantage of it.
Thus, The Hallowed Court didn’t know Billy’s actual combat strength.
“Damn it!” The elder leading the group shouted, “Attack! Kill him!”
As he spoke, Billy continued his assault. Several blade lights flashed like lightning.
Apart from the ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm man and the eighth-rank Supreme Source Realm woman, the other four were pierced by the blade lights before they could react.
Two mid-Supreme Source Realm individuals had their souls annihilated, while the other two had their souls escape into the air. But before they could recover, Dark Puppet caught up and absorbed their souls.
Although mid-to-late Supreme Source Realm souls were no longer a delicacy for Dark Puppet, they were better than nothing.
“Bastard! I’ll kill you!” The elder flipped his wrist, sending a violent mark towards Billy. Billy countered with a blade strike, and after a loud clash, he was sent flying two or three thousand meters back. Apart from a slight disturbance in his aura, he was unharmed.
“How is this possible?!” The elder was shocked. His attack at eighty to ninety percent power had no effect?
Seeing this, the man from Heaven’s Tea House fled in fear. He had hoped The Hallowed Court could take down Billy, earning him great merit. But now, seeing this outcome, staying meant certain death.
“You think you can escape?” As the man fled less than a kilometer away, Purple Spirit emerged from Billy’s body.
Meanwhile, the elder and two others attacked Billy again. The eighth-rank Supreme Source Realm woman was intercepted by Dark Puppet, and they engaged in a fierce battle.
Billy didn’t remain idle either. With a slight twist of his eyes, he disappeared and activated ‘Heaven Killer’ with a horizontal slash.
There was no suspense; although the ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm elder reacted in time, he couldn’t block it. After the blade light passed, a head flew into the air with an unwilling expression.
The leading elder wasn’t killed instantly but had a deep wound exposing his bones and was sent flying a thousand meters back.
At the same time, Dark Puppet chased after the ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm soul after exchanging a blow with the eighth-rank Supreme Source Realm woman.
“Die!” The woman shouted and struck towards Dark Puppet.
But as her attack was halfway through, Billy’s blade light flashed before her. Her pupils contracted instantly; she dodged to the side but couldn’t escape far before the blade light pierced her heart.
Her momentum dissipated as her body fell from the sky.
As Billy killed her body with one strike, an imprint from the leading elder hit him, sending him flying two or three thousand meters back.
Knowing Billy’s resilience, the elder didn’t stop attacking. He continuously unleashed violent energy waves that cracked the void wherever they passed.
Billy didn’t confront him head-on; he used Nether Wings to dodge the attacks.
The elder frowned and decided not to continue fighting. He turned and fled towards their starting point.
Billy’s combat strength far exceeded his expectations. If not for the ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm man taking part of the impact from ‘Heaven Killer,’ his body would have been destroyed too. Now injured, he knew he couldn’t defeat Billy and chose to escape to survive.
“Stay here!” Billy’s voice echoed as Dark Puppet sent the elder flying a thousand meters away with a mouthful of blood spraying out.
Before he could stabilize himself, Billy appeared within hundreds of meters of him.
A blade light flashed; an arm flew into the air with blood spraying out as the elder groaned and retreated a thousand meters.
The soul abandoned its body and fled quickly as the body fell from the sky.
“You can’t escape!” Billy said calmly as Dark Puppet chased after the soul.
Meanwhile, Purple Spirit brought the Heaven’s Tea House man before Billy: “Billy, what should we do with him?”
“Mr. Billy… spare me…” The man pleaded in terror, blood pouring from his mouth.
“Where are Cheyanne and the others?” Billy asked coldly.
