“You knew all along that his combat strength was formidable and that he would fight us to a standstill?” Louie Baker continued to ask.
“I didn’t know!” Alice Kaur responded with a faint smile. “I just thought that if Mr. Billy didn’t have some strength, how could he have guarded the Nine Dragons Cauldron for so long? So I wanted to test him!”
“Obviously, from the current outcome, I was right, wasn’t I?”
“You are truly insidious!” Louie Baker replied coldly.
“Likewise!” Alice Kaur continued to smile. “My young lady warned you not to harass him again, but you wouldn’t listen! Even when she came to the seventh-tier star domain, you followed her. Now there’s no turning back. Do you regret it?”
“I don’t believe you dare to kill me!” Louie Baker continued, “Unless you want to start an all-out war between Zenith Sect and Flame Hall…”
“You’re wrong!” Alice Kaur responded, “I didn’t kill you! You were killed by Mr. Billy because you tried to take the Nine Dragons Cauldron from him! When I arrived, you were already dead. To avenge you, I killed Mr. Billy. Flame Hall should thank me, shouldn’t they?”
Without waiting for a response, she pointed to the manor below. “By the way, all the other people Flame Hall sent to the seventh-tier star domain were also killed by Mr. Billy!”
As she spoke, sounds of fighting erupted from the manor below, indicating that Zenith Sect had made their move.
Flame Hall’s top fighters had all fallen. The remaining members, at most in the early stages of Supreme Source Realm, stood no chance.
“Young Master, run!” shouted the soul of an elder in the three-rank Condensed Kun Realm.
Louie Baker’s soul hesitated for a moment before fleeing.
However, he hadn’t gone far before he felt a powerful force holding him in mid-air.
In the next moment, Alice Kaur’s eyes narrowed slightly, and Louie Baker’s soul disintegrated into nothingness.
Simultaneously, two more muffled sounds echoed as the souls of the three-rank Condensed Kun Realm elder and a second-rank Condensed Kun Realm old woman exploded.
The void returned to calm, leaving only the sounds of screams and roars from the manor below.
“Mr. Billy, are you alright?”
At this moment, Jennifer and Jamal Clarke approached Billy. Their opponents had already been killed.
“I’m fine,” Billy said, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Mr. Billy, you really surprised me!” Alice Kaur approached with four men and women. “Three Condensed Kun Realm experts and two half-step Condensed Kun Realm experts, along with three late-stage Supreme Source Realm fighters, yet they still couldn’t take you down. I’m impressed!”
Her words carried little insincerity.
Billy’s ability to challenge opponents beyond his level was rare even in the eighth-tier star domain. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed such a prodigy existed!
She also felt fortunate that she hadn’t attacked Billy in Heavenly City; otherwise, it would have been uncertain who would have won.
“Impressive tactics,” Billy said after swallowing a healing pill.
“To contend with a genius like you requires some brainpower; otherwise, I might die by your hand,” Alice Kaur said with a faint smile.
Then she shifted her tone. “Mr. Billy, I respect you. If you hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book, I’ll let the three of you leave alive. How about it?”
“What if I refuse?” Billy asked.
“I suggest you hand them over,” Alice Kaur continued. “You should be aware of your current state. At most, you can only exert fifty or sixty percent of your power, maybe even less! If you insist on resisting, the outcome will be something you don’t want to see.”
“If you can contact your young lady, tell her to treat Miss Sanaa well!” Mr. Billy didn’t respond directly but continued after a pause. “Otherwise, if anything happens to Miss Sanaa, Zenith Sect will disappear from the eighth-tier star domain.”
Alice Kaur laughed charmingly and looked at Billy. “Mr. Billy, what a good joke. Do you know what kind of existence Zenith Sect is?”
“I don’t know, and I’m not interested in knowing,” Billy shook his head. “I only need to know that if anything happens to Miss Sanaa, everyone in Zenith Sect will die!”
“Ignorant!” The fourth-rank Condensed Kun Realm old woman beside Alice Kaur snorted coldly. “You think you can shake Zenith Sect? You don’t know how ridiculous you are!”
“You’ll see in time,” Billy glanced at her. “Of course, that’s if you survive today…”
“Mr. Billy, are you really not going to hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron?” Alice Kaur interrupted him.
“If you want it, come and take it!” Billy responded.
“Miss Kaur, stop wasting words with him; let’s act!” said a first-rank Condensed Kun Realm man beside Alice Kaur.
“I’ve been more than fair to you. If you insist on being stubborn, then forgive me!” Alice Kaur nodded slightly.
The first-rank Condensed Kun Realm man understood and charged at Billy. “Boy, since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron!”
As he spoke, he reached out towards Billy, causing the surrounding space to distort.
At that moment, a purple humanoid sword shot out from Billy’s body-it was Purple Spirit.
Its speed was so fast that it gave the opponent no time to react.
Although the man dodged half his body at the critical moment, Purple Spirit still severed one of his arms, causing blood to spurt out and his combat strength to drop by twenty percent.
“Hmm?” The others were stunned simultaneously.
Purple Spirit didn’t stop; after its initial success, it turned and charged at the man again like lightning.
“Courting death!” Another second-rank Condensed Kun Realm old woman shouted and rushed towards Purple Spirit.
Just as she moved, a black shadow shot out from Billy’s body at a speed no less than Purple Spirit’s-it was Dark Puppet!
The second-rank Condensed Kun Realm old woman hadn’t expected Billy to have another trump card and was caught off guard. She instinctively raised her hand to block with a wave of energy.
After a loud bang, the old woman was blasted back five or six thousand meters, spitting blood into the air.
Her meridians and internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, reducing her combat strength by thirty percent.
Like Purple Spirit, Dark Puppet didn’t pause after its initial success and charged at the old woman again.
“What kind of creature is this? Stay here!” A white-haired three-rank Condensed Kun Realm elder behind Alice Kaur raised his hand towards Dark Puppet with his aura reaching its peak.
As he charged halfway towards Dark Puppet, another white shadow shot out from Billy’s body faster than both Purple Spirit and Dark Puppet-it was White Feather!
As White Feather rushed out, it spat out a wave of icy air that turned the water vapor in the air into ice crystals.
“A mere bird dares cause trouble? Get lost!” The white-haired elder didn’t take White Feather seriously and raised his hand to form an imprint in response as he spoke.
