Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Who dies is not certain yet!” Harleen shouted, gripping her feather sword as she charged forward.

“Honey, be careful!” Billy called out.

“No big deal!” Harleen replied.

As soon as her words fell, a cold sword aura whistled out, sweeping up a flurry of ice particles in its path.

“Overestimating yourself!” The deputy commander didn’t take Harleen seriously, raising his hand to form a seal to meet her attack.

However, in the next moment, his expression changed dramatically. One of his arms instantly turned into an ice pillar, and the frost quickly spread to other parts of his body.

Without time to think, he hurriedly activated his internal energy to dispel the cold within him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have turned into an ice sculpture.

In truth, with his level of cultivation, he shouldn’t have been so vulnerable. Clearly, he had underestimated his opponent.

He had previously assessed Billy and Harleen’s cultivation levels, both at the eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, several levels below his own. Hence, he hadn’t taken them seriously.

The result was obvious!Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Although he managed to neutralize the attack, the four people behind him weren’t so lucky.

After the chilling sword aura passed, the four figures froze in mid-air and turned into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.

They then fell freely from the sky, shattering upon impact with the ground.

Seeing this scene, the few people behind them gasped simultaneously and halted their advance, their faces showing intense wariness.

“Die!” The deputy commander, after a brief moment to catch his breath, charged at Harleen again.

Harleen didn’t seem to intend to end the battle quickly. She didn’t use her most powerful killing move but instead engaged in a swordplay with her feather sword, taking the opportunity to practice her skills.

Seeing their deputy commander holding Harleen at bay, the others felt more at ease and began to surround her.

At the same time Harleen activated her first sword move, Dexter Stevens and another deputy commander launched a combined attack on Billy.

“No matter who you are, daring to act recklessly in Southern Barbarians City means no one can save you!” Dexter Stevens roared.

With a flip of his hands, lightning flashed as he swiftly attacked Billy with great momentum.

The other deputy commander also struck simultaneously, using his full strength to form an axe-shaped weapon that whipped up a fierce wind as it came at Billy.

“Is that so?” Billy responded calmly.

Facing their full-strength attack, he didn’t even use his Heavenly Fury Slash. Standing still, he raised his hand to form a massive palm that struck toward them.

Arhat Palm Strike!

After a loud explosion, Dexter Stevens and the other deputy commander’s attacks shattered one after another. Two figures plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

The deputy commander had no chance to struggle and lay motionless after hitting the ground heavily.

Dexter Stevens fared slightly better; he managed to stabilize himself several dozen meters above the ground but then spat out a mouthful of blood.

After one move, his combat strength dropped by thirty or forty percent!

“Not bad, you could take one of my moves!” Billy descended from the air and approached Dexter Stevens.

“Are you Billy from Sky City?” Dexter Stevens wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Billy.

“Just realizing now?” Billy responded indifferently. “The people behind you caused all this trouble here just to lure me to Southern Barbarians City. Didn’t they tell you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Dexter Stevens’ eyes flickered with a strange light.

“If you truly don’t know, that’s quite pathetic!” Billy continued. “Do you think those backing you genuinely value you and put you in charge of the city? Think again!”

“You…” Dexter Stevens began to speak again.

“Enough! I have no patience to waste time with you!” Billy interrupted him. “If you want to live, reveal the people behind you and take me to the City Lord’s Mansion. I’ll give you a way out.”

“Or, send a message to your backers and have them come save you!”

“Of course, if you choose the second option, you’d better hope your backer is stronger than me; otherwise, your life is mine!”

“You’re too arrogant!” Dexter Stevens took a deep breath before responding. “I admit I’m not your match, but you should know there’s always someone stronger. With your level of strength, you’re like an ant before true powerhouses!”

“So you’ve made your choice?” Billy smiled faintly.

“If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have that ability!” Dexter Stevens continued in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he mustered all his strength and launched an attack at Billy. Waves of energy surged forth.

Simultaneously, his figure disappeared from where he stood and reappeared a thousand meters away.

“You can’t escape!” Billy’s eyes narrowed as he sent a spiritual power-formed Bloodshadow Fury Blade speeding after him like an unstoppable force.

After running several hundred meters further, Dexter Stevens felt a sharp pain as the Bloodshadow Fury Blade sliced through his shoulder, sending an arm flying into the air.

“Ugh…” Dexter Stevens groaned as he stumbled forward another two or three hundred meters, his face pale as wax.

To his horror, just as he steadied himself, he felt an overwhelming sense of death enveloping him. His pupils contracted sharply.

He wanted to dodge but couldn’t in his current state.

“Esteban Clements, save me!” Dexter Stevens shouted in desperation.

Before his words had fully left his mouth, a tangible wave of energy surged forth, shattering Billy’s Bloodshadow Fury Blade instantly.

The powerful energy wave sent Dexter Stevens flying another four or five hundred meters but at least spared his life.

“Thank you, Esteban Clements!”

Having narrowly escaped death, Dexter Stevens steadied himself and looked toward an old man approaching through the air.

“Useless!” The old man glanced at Dexter Stevens before turning his gaze to Billy. “You must be Billy from Sky City?”

“Obviously!” Billy replied indifferently. “You deliberately lured me from Great Blue City to Southern Barbarians City. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen my portrait!”

“So young and yet so arrogant!” The old man’s eyes were sharp as he stared at Billy. “I hope you can keep that arrogance!”

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re one of the Ten Heroes of Sacred Hall Sect?” Billy said calmly.

Although he couldn’t precisely gauge the old man’s cultivation level, he could roughly infer from his aura that it was similar to Benjamin Reid’s from a few days ago.

At least eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm strength; hence his guess!

“Knowing we deliberately lured you here and yet only bringing two people with you-where does your confidence come from?” The old man acknowledged Billy’s question indirectly.

“I’m curious about your purpose for luring me here,” Billy continued.

“What good is it for a dying man to know so much?” The old man replied.

“Then let’s fight until you’re willing to talk!” Billy’s tone turned serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his kylin blade from his storage ring and slashed out, tearing open a rift in the void.

“Overestimating yourself!” The old man snorted coldly. He reached out toward the blade light and shattered it instantly.

Then with a flip of his wrist, a bolt of lightning shot toward Billy with incredible speed.

An eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert was clearly not to be trifled with.

As he struck out, the void twisted intensely as if it might collapse at any moment.
