Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

A chorus of gasps echoed around the scene.

“Does anyone else want to try breaking through?” Billy scanned the crowd, his voice calm.

Many people averted their eyes. The middle-aged man who had just been slain was a strong early-stage Heaven Dao Realm practitioner, yet he was killed with a single thought. Few dared to challenge such power.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“If you truly have a way to break this barrier, I hope you will share it,” an elder addressed Billy after a moment.

“Everyone here dreams of reaching the mid-tier star domain to pursue higher martial arts. If you can help us achieve that, we would be immensely grateful.”

The elder was no weakling himself, being at the second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

“And what if I say I don’t?” Billy asked with a faint smile.

“Rumor has it that there’s a way to break the barrier within the Five Elements Realm. I believe it’s not baseless,” the elder continued. “For your own safety, I suggest you hand over your storage rings for inspection. If there’s nothing in them, then…”

“What if I refuse?” Billy interrupted.

“You should know the consequences of angering so many people,” the elder’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He glanced at Bowen and his group. “Though your skills are not weak, I doubt you want to face thousands of enemies at once.”

He had clearly assessed Bowen and his group’s strength and knew they were injured, which gave him the confidence to speak up. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare confront Bowen, a third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm practitioner.

“Who among you wants to inspect our storage rings?” Billy scanned the crowd again.

“Count me in,” an old woman stepped forward. “Reaching the mid-tier star domain is my greatest wish. Please, young master, help us.”

“And me,” another man spoke up.

“Count me in too!”

“I’ll join as well!”

“I also wish to see the mid-tier star domain!”

In no time, ten people stepped forward, all of them late-stage Heaven Dao Realm practitioners or higher. Three were first-rank Entering Emptiness Realm, four were half-step into Entering Emptiness Realm, and three were ninth-rank Heaven Dao Realm.

“Are you sure you want to inspect our storage rings?” A cold glint flashed in Billy’s eyes.

“Our goal is to enter the mid-tier star domain. If you hand over the method to break the barrier willingly, we won’t trouble you,” said the first-rank old woman.

“And if I refuse, do you plan to kill us and take our storage rings?” Billy asked again.

“We don’t want it to come to that,” a middle-aged man replied.

“So you do have that thought,” a chill spread from Billy’s body.

“It depends on your choice,” the middle-aged man shrugged.

“Idiots!” Stout muttered as he turned to Billy. “Boss, stop wasting time with them. Just kill them all!”

“So young and yet so arrogant,” the middle-aged man glanced at Stout before looking at Billy. “Have you made your decision?”

“If it’s a fight you want, then a fight you’ll get,” Billy said calmly.

“Mr. Billy, the Second Palace Master and I will assist you,” Bowen’s aura surged as he spoke.

“Thank you, Grand Elder, but there’s no need. I can handle this alone,” Billy smiled.

Coughs echoed around them. They had seen arrogance before but never like this!

A mere second-rank Heaven Dao Realm youth daring to speak so boldly-was he utterly ignorant of the level of power he faced?

“Mr. Billy, don’t underestimate them. Let the Grand Elder and Second Palace Master join you,” Lacey Allison suggested with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

“I appreciate the offer, but it’s unnecessary,” Billy replied with a faint smile.

“Billy, I’ll join you!” Harleen offered.

“No need, it’s a small matter,” Billy responded with a smile before looking at his opponents.

“Come with me. If you can defeat me, I’ll give you all our storage rings.”

With that, he ascended into the air.

“Boss, be careful!” Casey and others called out.

“Everyone, since he’s so confident, let’s see what he’s relying on,” the second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm elder said to the other ten.

“Agreed!” they responded in unison.

They followed Billy into the air, surrounding him shortly after.

“Do you really intend to fight all ten of us alone?” the elder asked gravely.

“If you’re worried about losing face, we can duel one-on-one. I’ll give you that chance,” Billy replied.

“What? Afraid?” Billy sneered coldly at him.

“Everyone, let’s take action. The sooner we get their storage rings, the sooner we can head to the mid-tier star domain,” the elder ignored Billy’s taunt and addressed the others.

Initially, he hadn’t taken Billy seriously at all. But seeing Billy’s confidence made him wary. Perhaps Billy did have something up his sleeve; better to be cautious than regretful later.

“If you’re too scared, then shut up!” Billy glanced at him before addressing everyone else. “This is your choice. Blades and swords know no mercy; life and death are decided by fate!”

This scene was reminiscent of when he subdued those sects in Great Blue City!

“Attack!” The elder commanded gravely.

Eleven auras exploded simultaneously, filling the sky with immense pressure that forced everyone below to retreat instinctively.

In the next moment, all eleven attacked without holding back. Though they had no personal grudge against Billy, the allure of the mid-tier star domain was too great. To achieve their goal, Billy had to die!

Just as they thought they could end the fight in one round, four of them suddenly sensed a dense killing intent sweeping towards them. This included the second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm elder and the first-rank old woman.

“Hmm?”

Their pupils shrank to pinpoints in an instant, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

A blade light flashed by, unstoppable as it cut through them.

Two men opened their mouths but fell from the sky before they could utter a word, crashing lifelessly to the ground.

The elder and old woman fared slightly better. Sensing danger at the last moment, they reacted quickly. The old woman lost an arm, while the elder had a deep gash on his shoulder blade, blood gushing out.
