As the words fell, a muffled sound came from four or five kilometers away. Alma Dney had mmed into the barrier, feeling dizzy and disoriented.


    Billy, having dealt with the Blood and Devil Sects for so long, knew their survival tactics well and was clear on how to counter them.


    “Damn it!” Alma Dney shouted angrily, raising her hand to form a seal and smashing it against the barrier.


    Another muffled sound echoed, and the barrier shook slightly but showed no signs of breaking.


    After Billy broke through to the ninth-rank Sacred Realm, his cultivation had already advanced to half step into the Holy Realm while activating his bloodline power. Correspondingly, his spiritual power was strong enough to contend with a third-rank Holy Realm.


    Therefore, with Alma Dney’s cultivation, breaking through the barrier was naturally difficult.


    “Elder Alma, let me help you!” The first-rank Holy Realm flew towards Alma Dney.


    In no time, he shed to her side and struck the barrier with full strength.


    However, apart from making the barrier shake a bit more, there was still no actual effect.


    “You go ahead; I will avenge you!” Alma Dney’s voice reached the first-rank Holy Realm’s ears.


    “Elder Alma, what are you saying, you…” The first-rank Holy Realm was stunned.


    Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened in shock as he realized he waspletely immobilized except for his head.


    “Elder Alma, you…” he eximed in horror.


    Before he could finish his sentence, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. “Ah…”


    As his essence was drained, his body shriveled at a visible rate, looking extremely horrifying.


    Not far away, Billy didn’t rush to intervene. He watched Alma Dney with a faint smile on his face. Since she was doing him the favor of eliminating one person, there was no need for him to act hastily.


    Within a few minutes, the first-rank Holy Realm had turned into a bag of bones, his pupils dted, lifeless.


    Alma Dney took a deep breath and quickly absorbed the opponent’s power. But at this moment, Billy wouldn’t give her any more time.


    In the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly as he pointed a finger at Alma Dney with full strength.


    The Celestial ck Finger’s energy waves swept towards her like a tangible force, surging violently.


    “Hmm?!” Alma Dney’s pupils contracted sharply. She quickly formed a seal with her hand to counter it.


    With a loud bang, Alma Dney was sent flying back, mming heavily into the barrier before bouncing back.


    She spat out a mouthful of blood, herbat power dropping by thirty to forty percent.


    What made her even more desperate was that before she could stabilize herself, Billy had already appeared not far in front of her.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Then, he struck out with a palm strike. Alma Dney was sent flying again, blood spraying from her mouth.


    She bounced back once more.


    Billy struck out another palm wind.


    After four or five rounds of this, Billy lifted his hand and withdrew the barrier.


    Thud!


    Alma Dney fell heavily onto the mountain below, her meridians shattered. She was barely alive, breathing weakly.


    Billynded on the ground shortly after.


    “Boss, are you okay?” Judge ran over.


    Although he wasn’t at the scene, he had been monitoring the situation and rushed over when the fight ended.


    “I’m fine,” Billy waved his hand.


    “Boss, did you break through?” Judge asked again.


    He vaguely felt that Billy’s aura had grown much stronger than before.


    “Yes,” Billy nodded.


    “Amazing!” Judge couldn’t help but exim.


    Billy didn’t respond to Judge’s words and walked towards Alma Dney.


    Seeing Billy approaching her, Alma Dney opened her mouth, and blood gushed out.


    “… Give me a quick death…”


    After a while, she finally managed to utter a few words.


    “If you want to die, answer a few questions first,” Billy responded calmly.


    “What… do you want to know…” Alma Dney asked back.


    “Where are the leaders of your two sects? Who is behind you?” Billy continued.


    “Heh… do you think I will tell you…” Alma Dney sneered coldly.


    After catching her breath slightly, she continued: “I… I’ll wait for you down there… You and your people will join me soon…”


    “Want tomit suicide?” Billy smiled faintly. “Without my permission, you don’t have the right to die!”


    “Heh… you don’t understand our Devil Sect…” Alma Dney sneered again.


    Hearing this, Billy immediately released his spiritual power to try and restrain her.


    “It’s useless. As core members of the Devil Sect, besides the ‘Blood Escape Technique,’ we also know another secret technique,” Alma Dney said in a final burst of energy.


    “Even if our cultivation is lost, we can stillmit suicide…”


    Before she finished speaking, her body turned into a ck mist at a visible speed and then dissipated into nothingness.


    “What kind of trick is this?” Judge couldn’t help but curse.


    “I don’t know,” Billy frowned slightly.


    He hadn’t expected her to have such a secret technique either.


    After pausing for a moment, he looked at Judge and instructed: “You go back first; I’m heading to Sheardal Imperial City!”


    “Boss, let me go with you!” Judge asked.


    “No need!” As soon as he finished speaking, Billy’s figure was already kilometers away.


    While Billy was on his way, a hundred kilometers outside the east gate of Sheardal Imperial City, in a valley,


    A group of about two thousand people had gathered. At a nce, they were all members of the Skydragon Dark Guard unit.


    They were there on Billy’s orders. Hours earlier, Billy had instructed Night Orchid and Frostde to lead two thousand Skydragon Dark Guards to lie in wait near Sheardal Imperial City.


    Of course, Billy had specifically instructed them not to act without his signal.


    For Billy, today was not only the day Blood and Devil Sects attacked the three empires and Skydragon City but also the best opportunity to assault Sheardal Imperial City.


    Blood and Devil Sects would send most of their high-level forces against the three empires and Skydragon City. Therefore, he wouldn’t miss this chance!


    After arriving here, Night Orchid and Frostde went to the royal city while the Dark Guards waited for orders in the valley.


    “Sir, why haven’t Night Orchid and the others returned yet? Could they be in danger?” A woman asked the gray-robed man beside her.


    “They shouldn’t be,” the gray-robed man shook his head. “Night Orchid and her team are only scouting near the imperial city; they shouldn’t engage with the enemy.”


    “I’m still worried. Should I take some people to check?” The woman continued.


    “I’ll go,” the man thought for a moment before responding. “You stay here.”


    “Sir, let me go with you!” Three other men spoke up simultaneously.


    “You all stay here; I’ll go check and return quickly,” the gray-robed man replied again.


    “Sir, Alex Long has returned!” At that moment, a man ran into the valley.
