“No… I don’t dare…” Lawrence Joseph quickly shook his head.
He truly didn’t dare! Now, he was just a soul body. He knew very well that if Billy wanted to deal with him, it would only take one strike.
“Don’t worry, I promised to give you a way out, and I will keep my word!” Billy smiled again. “You can go now!”
“Are you really letting me go?” Lawrence Joseph tried to ask.
“Better leave before I change my mind!” Billy replied.
Before he finished speaking, Lawrence Joseph hurriedly flew off to the left, not even stopping to greet the guards outside.
“He ran out, stop him!” One of the guards shouted loudly, pointing at Billy.
Immediately, twenty to thirty men and women surrounded Billy.
“You are no match for me. It’s best not to seek your own death!” Billy glanced at them.
“Attack!” The guard who had shouted earlier called out again.
As soon as he spoke, a blade light flashed past him, and both his physical body and soul perished at the same time.
Seeing this, the others gasped and quickly backed away. The man who had just been killed was the strongest among them, and he was annihilated in an instant. If they went up against Billy, they would only be throwing their lives away.
Billy ignored them and walked forward leisurely.
In fact, if he wanted to leave, he could easily do so by using the Invisibility Technique. The reason he didn’t leave was that it wasn’t time yet!
Although he had rescued Ciara Pearson and her sister, there were still many people from the Gate of Serenity at the headquarters. If Shadow Hall couldn’t find him, they would definitely take it out on those people, and none of them might survive.
“Quickly notify the Vice Sovereign and the young master!” One of the guards said while taking out a sound transmission stone.
Soon, powerful auras rose from different parts of the manor, and dozens of figures appeared in the air, surrounding Billy.
Billy quickly assessed their cultivation levels. The strongest was a sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm, obviously one of the Vice Sovereigns. Next to him stood a fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm and a fourth-rank Mystic Kun Realm. Besides these three, there were eight or nine early-stage Mystic Kun Realm men and women, and the remaining twenty or so were Controlled Kun Realm.
“We all underestimated you,” said Louis Joseph, the Vice Sovereign, looking at Billy.
“It’s not too late to take me seriously now,” Billy replied calmly.
“You don’t seem worried at all,” Louis Joseph continued.
“Does worrying help? Whether I worry or not, will you let me leave?” Billy smiled.
“You could have left directly, but you chose to stay. I’m curious, do you think we can’t kill you or don’t dare to?” Louis Joseph asked.
“Guess,” Billy smiled again.
“Vice Sovereign, there’s no need to waste words with him. Let’s fight,” said the fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm in a deep voice. As he spoke, his aura rapidly increased, causing the surrounding air to surge wildly.
“Stop!” At that moment, a voice rang out, and Sonny Joseph arrived with a group of people. Following him was another Vice Sovereign of Shadow Hall, an old woman who was also a sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm. Besides her, there were two fourth-rank Mystic Kun Realms and five or six early-stage Mystic Kun Realms. With this group added, all the high-end combat forces of Shadow Hall were present except for the Sovereign.
“Young master!” The crowd greeted Sonny Joseph at the same time.
“Mr. Billy is indeed a prodigy of ten thousand years. Not only are your skills impressive, but your intellect is also extraordinary,” Sonny Joseph said as he approached Billy. He had already learned about the situation from Lawrence Joseph and knew that he had been played by Billy.
“You’re too kind,” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“But Mr. Billy, isn’t your behavior showing too little regard for Shadow Hall?” Sonny Joseph continued.
“Let’s not waste words,” Billy replied. “There are two options: first, you let me leave and agree to coexist peacefully with the Gate of Serenity in the future; this way, we can avoid conflict. Second, we fight, and if I lose, both the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book will be yours.”
“You seem very confident,” Sonny Joseph frowned slightly. “Even if you have the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, do you think you can win against so many Mystic Kun Realms?”
“Believe it or not, I don’t even need the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass to deal with you,” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“Such arrogance!” The sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm old woman said coldly. “If you want to fight, let’s fight!”
As she spoke, she flew out from the group.
“Have you thought it through?” Billy glanced at the old woman and then looked back at Sonny Joseph.
“You know I have no choice,” Sonny Joseph replied. “Besides, this is what you wanted, isn’t it?”
“You do have a choice,” Billy smiled again. “If you’re willing to give up the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book, you have a choice-the best choice!”
“You should understand that’s very difficult,” Sonny Joseph admitted. “Both the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book are extremely tempting for anyone!”
“Indeed,” Billy shrugged. “Then let’s fight!”
“Alright!” Sonny Joseph nodded. He then turned to the old woman. “Vice Sovereign, please show Mr. Billy your skills!”
“Alright!” The old woman responded and looked at Billy. “Make your move! Show me what you’ve got!”
“Hehe, sorry, but I’m not your opponent!” Billy smiled faintly.
“What do you mean?” The old woman frowned.
As she spoke, a purple figure flashed out from Billy’s body and transformed into a purple sword that shot towards her.
Man and sword as one! It was Purple Spirit!
The energy from Azure Clan’s Spiritual Line Origin was incredibly strong. She had only managed to refine half of it by now. If not for Billy calling her, she would still be in seclusion for some time.
Since Billy planned to confront Shadow Hall head-on, he needed an ally; otherwise, his chances of winning were too slim. He had already contacted Purple Spirit while in Shadow Tower. Purple Spirit said she could fight, so he decided to face them head-on.
“Hmm?” The old woman was stunned for a moment before raising her hand to block. An imprint containing immense power struck towards Purple Spirit. To her shock, the attack dissipated into nothingness as the purple sword continued its advance towards her.
Without time to think, the old woman’s pupils contracted as she hurriedly dodged to the side. However, she was still too slow; the purple sword left a deep gash on her waist, blood gushing out.
“You’ll pay for this!” The old woman looked at her wound and shouted angrily. Her aura surged to its peak as she charged towards Purple Spirit.
“Old hag, want to kill me? Follow me then!” Purple Spirit transformed into human form and flew up.
“Let’s see where you can run!” The sixth-rank old woman chased after her.
“Elder Louis, attack!” At the same time, Sonny Joseph frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
He hadn’t expected a Spiritual Line Origin with combat power comparable to a sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm to suddenly appear!
“Alright!” Louis Joseph responded and charged towards Billy.
Billy also made his move at the same time; blade domain and Skybinder formed one after another. With his current spiritual level, an area of several kilometers was covered by both domains. Then, with full power, he unleashed Slaughter Sky…
