Chapter 1927: One Must Learn to Be Content
The ongoing battle left everyone below the Heaven Dao Realm feeling suffocated, causing many to involuntarily halt their actions.
Simultaneously, a large group of around four to five hundred figures flew in from the direction of the Domain Lord’s Mansion.
Leading them was a man who appeared to be in his late fifties, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a robust build. It was none other than David Roth!
His cultivation level was even higher than Natasha Sutton had estimated, reaching half a step into the eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm!
Following closely behind him were ten elite warriors, all of whom were in the Heaven Dao Realm!
The strongest among them was at the fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm, while the weakest was at the third-rank Heaven Dao Realm!
Seeing this formidable lineup, the faces of the Phoenix City defenders grew grim.
Before this, the battle had been gradually tilting in favor of Phoenix City, and it wouldn’t be long before they could dominate the battlefield.
However, Phoenix City had paid a heavy price, with nearly a hundred out of four to five hundred soldiers already fallen, including several powerful Heaven Dao Realm fighters.
Now, with so many additional Heaven Dao Realm opponents arriving, this battle had just become much more challenging!
“Boss, that old man looks pretty fierce! Do you think we can handle him?” Stout asked Billy as he approached.
“No!” Billy shook his head decisively.
He had just used Cracked Sky again, depleting his Chi power significantly. It was unlikely he could wield that move again anytime soon.
Given his current state, there was no way he could contend with a seventh-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert.
“Should we run?” Stout asked again.
“Do you think we can escape?” Billy replied.
“Then what do we do?” Stout countered.
“Whatever!” Billy responded once more.
Stout was at a loss for words.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Leave the East Domain King; kill everyone else!” David Roth’s voice, amplified by Chi power, echoed through the air, deafeningly loud.
“Kill!” Four to five hundred voices responded in unison as they charged towards Phoenix City’s defenders.
“Be careful, everyone. Don’t fight recklessly. If you can’t win, just stall them!” Billy turned to Stout and the others.
“Got it!” They replied loudly without hesitation and charged towards the enemy.
For them, life-and-death battles had become routine; this was just another one.
“Are you Billy?” At this moment, David Roth flew over to Billy with four soldiers following behind.
White Feather let out a cry and landed beside Billy.
It had also sensed the dangerous aura emanating from David Roth and stood tense and alert.
“White Feather, don’t worry about me. Go help the others!” Billy said to White Feather.
White Feather chirped twice and shook its head.
“Go on, I’ll be fine!” Billy smiled faintly. “Besides, you’re injured. Staying here won’t help. Go keep an eye on Harleen and the others for me.”
After a brief moment of thought, White Feather turned and flew towards the battle circle where Harleen and Opal were fighting.
It knew that even if it stayed, it couldn’t help Billy. The two of them together still wouldn’t be a match for David Roth. Staying would be pointless.
“You destroyed my West Domain and North Domain. I hadn’t even come looking for you yet, but here you are. Bold move!” David Roth said to Billy in a calm tone.
“The West Domain King wanted to invade my homeland Akabuchi Star Domain, and the Northern Domain King wanted to kill me for treasure. If you were me, wouldn’t you kill them?” Billy retorted while tossing a Chi Condensing Pill into his mouth.
“And my son? Why did you kill him?” David Roth continued calmly.
“Your son was too arrogant. I didn’t like him, so I killed him,” Billy shrugged with a faint smile.
“Heh, let’s see if you can still laugh later!” David Roth sneered. “Today, none of you will leave Great Blue City alive!”
“Is that so?” Billy smiled again. “Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!”
“Don’t play games with me. I know your situation well!” David Roth said, looking at Billy. “Even if you could use that surprise move again, it wouldn’t be enough to defeat me, right?”
“You seem quite confident,” Billy smiled once more.
“Confidence comes from absolute strength, not from relying on luck,” David Roth replied.
“Alright, I agree,” Billy shrugged.
“So will you hand it over willingly, or should I take it by force?” David Roth asked again.
“I have many things on me. Which one do you want?” Billy asked.
“All of them!” David Roth demanded. “Including the Five Elements Magic Stones!”
“One must learn to be content,” Billy replied.
“My patience is limited. You’d better decide quickly,” David Roth warned again.
“Alright then!” Billy shrugged again. “I can’t win against you, and I can’t escape either. I’ll give it to you!”
“But you’ll have to retrieve that Sacred Object yourself. I can’t even sense where it is inside me.”
“First, tell me the map of the City of the Dead and how to break that array!” David Roth demanded, staring into Billy’s eyes.
He had heard about the Sacred Object too. Even Billy couldn’t sense it himself.
To him, while the Sacred Object was important, it was also a ticking time bomb-both a blessing and a curse. Taking it might not necessarily be a good thing.
In comparison, the map of the City of the Dead was more practical!
“Then listen carefully!” Billy deliberately raised his voice several decibels. “The City of the Dead is located at…”
“Shut up!”
At that moment, an elderly voice came from the sky, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that matched David Roth’s earlier aura.
Soon after, six figures flew in from the distant sky at incredible speed.
Leading them were two men-one fat and one thin-both disheveled and unkempt, their robes looking like they hadn’t been washed in years.
Following them were four individuals with pale faces and expressionless features, all dressed in white robes.
Judging by their aura, all four were at the Mid Stage of Heaven Dao Realm cultivation level without exception.
Seeing these people made David Roth’s brow furrow tightly.
He then looked at Billy and spoke in a deep voice: “You knew that people from Sacred Hall Sect would come?”
“What do you think?” Billy smiled faintly.
Clearly, with his intelligence, he had long anticipated that people from both Mysterious Hall Sect and Sacred Hall Sect would come!
Both sects were determined to obtain the map of the City of the Dead and were well aware of his whereabouts!
Before setting out today, he had deliberately caused Natasha Sutton to create such a commotion in Phoenix City. It was obvious he did it on purpose; he knew there were people from both sects lurking in Phoenix City.
And before David Roth had shown up earlier, he had already used Cracked Sky twice in succession. He knew that people from both sects wouldn’t let him publicly reveal information about the City of the Dead.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used his trump card so early!
“You’re very clever!” David Roth’s face darkened further.
“Mysterious Hall Sect friends, if you don’t come out now, I’ll tell Sacred Hall Sect everything about the City of the Dead!” Billy shouted towards the sky once more.
