Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

After a series of muffled sounds at the scene, seven or eight skeletons disappeared.

“Wait for me!” Billy said before his figure vanished into the mist ahead.

After a short while, a powerful aura rippled through the space. Then, everything returned to normal, and four elders were seen retreating a thousand meters away, with four trails of blood floating in the air.

“Hmm?!” A surprised voice echoed from an elder not far away.

“Damn, these Array Alliance people have a death wish. Let’s fulfill it!” White Tiger shouted, gripping his knife and charging at the four elders.

Vermilion Bird and Ian Blade followed suit without any hesitation. However, before they could make a move, the surrounding void twisted, making it hard for everyone to breathe and move.

Suddenly, strong forces came from all directions, making them feel like they were about to explode.

“Let go of me!” Billy’s voice came from the front, and a blade light slashed toward the void ahead.

A pitch-black crack appeared in the void, cutting through it effortlessly.

“Interesting!” The elder a thousand meters away responded in a deep voice, pressing his hand towards Billy’s direction.

The blade light from the Phantom Blade Technique shattered, and the surrounding void cracked inch by inch. Billy was thrown back several hundred meters by the impact.

The elder also retreated a hundred meters under the shockwave, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

“I underestimated you!” The elder steadied himself and looked towards Billy.

Billy didn’t waste words. He activated his bloodline power and unleashed a second blade light. This strike was even more powerful than the last!

The elder sensed it too, his pupils shrinking slightly. He clasped his hands tightly towards Billy’s direction, causing the void to twist again, stopping the blade light in mid-air.

With a loud bang, the blade light and the twisted void exploded again, creating a massive black hole in mid-air.

Both Billy and the elder spat out blood and were thrown back. From their conditions, Billy seemed to be at a slight disadvantage.

As Billy was thrown back, Purple Spirit emerged from his body and charged towards the elder.

“Purple Spirit, come back!” Billy shouted.

“Billy, it’s fine. He’s injured. I can take him down!” Purple Spirit shouted back without turning his head.

“… Come back! Let’s see what they want first!” Billy continued to shout.

“No need to guess. They’re here to kill and rob!” Purple Spirit responded again.

“He doesn’t have killing intent. They probably aren’t here for our lives!” Billy explained.

He had already sensed this when he broke through the array earlier. The elder didn’t have killing intent and hadn’t gone all out against him.

Based on his guess, the elder was likely at half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm. If he had gone all out, Billy would have struggled to resist!

“Alright!” Purple Spirit shrugged and returned to Billy’s body.

Billy then landed on the ground.

“Boss, are you okay?” The group approached him.

“I’m fine!” Billy waved his hand.

The elder and the four other elders also descended from mid-air.

“A once-in-a-millennium talented genius indeed!” The leading elder spoke as he approached Billy.

As he spoke, he felt deeply moved. Just as Billy had guessed, he was indeed at half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm. He had thought he could easily take down Billy, but the result surprised him greatly.

Billy not only easily broke through the high-level array set up by four mid-Perfection Emptiness Realm experts but also nearly matched him in direct combat.

He finally believed the rumors-Billy was indeed a once-in-a-millennium talented genius!

“State your name,” Billy said calmly, looking at the elder.

“Jasper Muir from Array Alliance,” the elder replied.

“Here to avenge Reid Graham?” Billy continued.

“I am here on behalf of the Array Alliance to apologize to Mr. Billy,” Jasper Muir responded.

“You old fox, I don’t believe you!” Stout interjected. “We killed so many of your Array Alliance people, and you come to apologize to our Boss? Do you think take us for fools?”

“Exactly!” Judge added. “And if you were sincere about apologizing, would you make such a big scene?”

“If my Boss didn’t understand arrays, we would all be dead in that array just now.”

“Mr. Billy, Reid Graham helped Yheng Institute break through to a lower star domain without headquarters’ permission. I apologize on behalf of Array Alliance,” Jasper Muir ignored Stout and Judge’s comments. “Mr. Billy killed him because he deserved it.”

“State your purpose,” Billy said, narrowing his eyes at Jasper Muir. “If I’m not mistaken, you set up that array to see if I could break it?”

By now, he had guessed the purpose behind the array. Perhaps they hadn’t decided whether to kill him initially; setting up that array was likely to test if he could break it.

If he couldn’t break it and died within it, it would serve as revenge for killing so many Array Alliance members and they would also obtain the Nine Dragons Cauldron!

For Jasper Muir, it was a win-win situation!

But when he broke through the array smoothly, Jasper Muir made another decision and didn’t go all out during their fight. Clearly, they had other intentions!

“Mr. Billy overthinks things. I am indeed here to apologize on behalf of Array Alliance…” Jasper Muir responded again.

“Not willing to say? Then please leave,” Billy interrupted him. “I won’t see you off!”

“Mr. Billy, Elder Jasper came all the way from a fifth-level star domain to apologize. Could you…” Another elder frowned.

“This is my attitude. If you don’t like it, you can leave!” Billy interrupted again.

“You…” The elder’s face darkened.

“Enough!” Jasper Muir waved his hand and continued looking at Billy. “To be honest, besides apologizing on behalf of Array Alliance, I do have a favor to ask.”

“Knew it!” Judge muttered.

“Speak,” Billy said.

“I want to ask Mr. Billy to go somewhere and help Array Alliance save someone,” Jasper Muir said.

“Save someone?” Billy was slightly surprised. “Where? Who?”

“The place is in a fifth-level star domain,” Jasper Muir continued. “As for who, Mr. Billy will know when you get there.”

“Is there any reward?” Stout interjected.
