Before long, an elderly man appeared in the sky above the small courtyard. It was Elder Esteban, who had been seen with Curtis Wade a few days earlier.
“What’s the matter?” Billy looked up and asked.
“Where did the young lady go?” the elder inquired.
“How do I know?” Billy replied indifferently.
“Boy, you’d better be honest with me. Don’t seek your own death!” The elder fixed his gaze on Billy.
“You, an outsider, dare to be presumptuous in front of me. Do you believe that even if I kill you now, no one will say anything?”
“Try it,” Billy glanced at him.
“Arrogant!” The elder spoke coldly. “Are you really unwilling to talk?”
“If you want to fight, do it quickly. I don’t have time to waste words with you!” Billy responded again.
“Reckless fool!” The elder shouted angrily, then raised his hand to form a seal and struck it towards Billy with overwhelming force.
From his aura, it was clear he was at the first-rank Controlled Kun Realm.
Billy didn’t stand still. With a flip of his wrist, he casually drew out a blade light with his blade.
With the help of his bloodline power, Billy’s cultivation had already reached the sixth-rank Condensed Kun Realm. Even a casual strike from him could contend with a half-step Controlled Kun Realm.
The elder had underestimated Billy and only used seventy to eighty percent of his strength.
The blade light flashed by, and an arm flew into the air, blood spurting out as the elder retreated a thousand meters away.
“How is this possible?!”
The elder steadied himself and stopped the bleeding, his face showing extreme shock and disbelief.
He then released his spiritual power to probe Billy’s cultivation, and his expression became even more exaggerated. “Impossible!”
In just three days, Billy had advanced four levels?
Moreover, even if Billy was at the third-rank Condensed Kun Realm, a casual strike had severed his arm!
Either of these facts alone was enough to drive him crazy!
“Get lost!” Billy waved his hand. “Go back and tell your young master not to bother me again, or he will regret it!”
“So arrogant. I want to see how strong you really are!” The elder was not so easily deterred.
After speaking, he attacked Billy with full strength.
Although he had lost an arm, at full strength, he could exert late-stage Condensed Kun Realm combat power, so he wanted to give it a try.
Of course, he quickly learned the result!
The same blade light flashed towards him. His attack had no chance of resisting and instantly dissipated. The blade light then passed through his body.
The elder opened his mouth, his body split in two and fell from mid-air while his soul escaped.
His face showed an expression of disbelief, and the shock in his heart was no less than before. It was too incredible!
“Last warning, if you don’t leave, your soul won’t be spared either!” Billy spoke calmly.
The fact that the elder’s soul wasn’t completely destroyed showed that Billy had held back.
Greta had asked him to look after her clansmen. He couldn’t just kill one of them right after she went into seclusion; that would be quite unkind.
“You… you wait for me!” The soul shouted before turning and leaving.
After the elder left, Billy sat down cross-legged to consolidate his cultivation.
Advancing four levels at once required his body to adapt.
For the next twenty days or so, nothing special happened. Curtis Wade’s people didn’t come to trouble him either.
During this rare period of leisure, Billy took the opportunity to practice the ‘Sky Burial Blade’ technique in an open area of a forest ten thousand miles away from the village.
As his cultivation improved, he gained new insights into the Sky Burial Blade technique. He was confident that if he exerted himself fully, he could barely manage one strike.
As for its power, that remained unknown since he hadn’t tested it yet. But he was sure it was definitely above Slaughter Sky.
However, this technique was too domineering. After one strike, even if his true energy wasn’t completely drained, it would be nearly depleted.
One day, as Billy finished practicing, a tremendous explosion echoed from a distant void.
A mushroom cloud of energy surged into the sky, shaking the void and revealing a massive black hole.
“What’s happening?” Billy frowned slightly and flew towards the explosion’s center.
Boom! Boom! Just as Billy approached, a series of explosions erupted ahead.
Judging by the intensity of the battle, both sides were definitely at the Condensed Kun Realm level.
The next moment, a figure flew towards Billy’s direction, spitting a mouthful of blood into the air and looking extremely weak.
“Hmm?”
Recognizing the person, Billy frowned slightly.
It was Kameron Bond, whom he had met at the village entrance when he first arrived in this space.
“Kameron, what happened?” Billy quickly flew towards him.
“Mr. Billy?” Kameron Bond looked surprised and shouted loudly, “Mr. Billy, don’t come over here! Leave quickly!”
Before he finished speaking, a wave of energy surged towards them, causing the void to crack inch by inch.
“Kameron, watch out!” Billy frowned and swung his blade out.
After a loud noise, both Billy and Kameron Bond were blasted seven or eight kilometers away. Kameron Bond’s injuries worsened significantly.
“Kameron, take this pill. It will help with your injuries.” After steadying himself, Billy took out two healing pills and handed them over.
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Kameron Bond took the pills and swallowed them.
“So it’s you!” At that moment, an elderly man flew over and glanced at Billy before speaking indifferently.
“I haven’t come looking for you yet; you’ve come to me. Very well!”
“Tell me where the young lady is right now, and I’ll spare your life!”
“Idiot!” Billy glanced at him and vaguely remembered that this elder had been with Curtis Wade last time.
He then turned to Kameron Bond. “Kameron, what happened?”
“Boy, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear…” The elder frowned and continued speaking.
Before he could finish, Billy swung his blade out. “Too much nonsense!”
“Courting death!” The elder frowned and punched towards the blade light.
A loud noise echoed as the void collapsed. Both Billy and the elder were blasted thousands of meters away from each other.
“Die!”
The elder didn’t stop. As soon as he steadied himself, he charged again with full strength and punched towards Billy.
The next moment, a massive phantom fist like a mountain hurtled towards Billy, blocking out the sky and causing chaos in the void.
From his aura, it was clear he was at the third-rank Controlled Kun Realm!
“Get lost!” Billy snorted coldly and swung out a Slaughter Sky horizontally.
The Thunder Blade cut through everything like a hot knife through butter.
A deafening explosion followed as the void within tens of kilometers collapsed and dark matter spread out.
Billy and the elder were blasted eight or nine kilometers away again. From their conditions, it was clear that the elder was slightly inferior; his combat power had dropped by at least twenty percent.
Although Billy also had some injuries, they were negligible. As soon as he steadied himself, he charged forward again.
This time, he directly formed a blade domain and swung out another Slaughter Sky.
Sensing impending death, the elder’s pupils shrank instantly. Knowing he couldn’t withstand it, he quickly retreated…
