Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Three days ago, Purple Spirit had already emerged from the Nine Dragons Cauldron and had a conversation with Billy. This was why Billy had just asked Liam Cooper to hold off the first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent. After coming out of the Nine Dragons Cauldron, Billy could clearly feel that her strength had increased significantly. However, Purple Spirit herself was unsure of her exact level, estimating she could contend with early-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm opponents. As for White Feather, there was still no movement.

“Hmm?” The second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder steadied himself, his pupils contracting coldly. He hadn’t even seen how Purple Spirit had attacked, and he was already sent flying, a look of dread flashing across his face. “Make your move; I need to test the results of my recent training!” Purple Spirit said as she charged at him again. The elder frowned but did not retreat, channeling all his power to meet Purple Spirit head-on. He attacked with full force, a phantom beast opening its bloody mouth to bite at Purple Spirit.

“Is this all you’ve got? Too weak!” Purple Spirit responded, a surge of purple energy waves erupting from her. There was no suspense; the phantom beast shattered instantly, and the purple energy wave continued unabated, striking the elder’s chest directly. The elder spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying two or three thousand meters away, his internal organs and meridians shattered beyond repair. He crashed heavily to the ground, his legs twitching before he went still.

“Not bad!” Purple Spirit smacked her lips, having a better sense of her combat power now. “Purple Spirit, you’re awesome!” Stout shouted from a distance after sending a second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm opponent flying with a punch. “I think you’re itching for a beating!” Purple Spirit glared at him. After half a year apart, he had forgotten to call her Little Missy again! “Hehe, Little Missy, go help the Boss; don’t worry about the others!” Stout grinned.

“Okay!” Purple Spirit replied and quickly rushed towards Billy’s battle zone. Billy and Tate William had already exchanged dozens of blows, still evenly matched. With Purple Spirit joining in, the result was clear. Purple Spirit unleashed her full strength in one move, which Tate William couldn’t withstand, reducing his combat power by thirty or forty percent. “Purple Spirit, impressive!” Billy raised an eyebrow at her combat prowess. He hadn’t expected her strength to increase so rapidly after spending half a year in the Nine Dragons Cauldron! Even without using unity of man and sword, she could severely injure a fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent in one move. If she went all out, wouldn’t she be able to instantly kill a fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent?

“Hehe, that Nine Dragons Cauldron is truly magical; I want to go back in after some time!” Purple Spirit laughed and continued, “Billy, go help Harleen; leave him to me!”

“Alright!” Billy responded and dashed towards Harleen’s direction. Harleen’s opponent was a sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm old woman. By now, Harleen had sustained several injuries, relying on her strong physical resilience to avoid worse outcomes. As her cultivation improved, she could now perform Five Elements Blade Dance two or three times consecutively, so her opponent also bore some injuries.

“Give me your life!” As Purple Spirit killed the second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder with one move, the sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm old woman roared angrily and attacked Harleen with full strength, aiming to end the fight in one move. She sensed Harleen’s momentum recovering and knew that if the fight dragged on, the outcome would be uncertain.

“You want my life? You’re not quite there yet!” Harleen shouted back. Her eyes narrowed as she gripped her feather sword and formed the ‘Phantom Sword Technique’ to meet the attack. She had spent considerable effort on this technique recently and could now use it effectively in battle.

“Hmm?!” The sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm old woman’s pupils contracted sharply upon sensing the power of this strike. She hadn’t expected Harleen to have such a trump card and didn’t want to clash head-on but found herself unable to back down.

A thunderous crash echoed as the old woman was sent flying like a leaf. She crashed a kilometer away, spitting blood and unable to utter a word before twitching a few times and going still.

“Hmm?!” A surprised exclamation echoed from the sky. This voice clearly came from the surrounding spectators who had been watching from various points in the void since the beginning of Billy’s battle but had not shown themselves.

“Old hag!!!” As Harleen killed the old woman with one strike, an elder from Yheng Institute at half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm cried out in pain after exchanging blows with the head of the Changsun family. He then rapidly flashed towards Harleen with a twisted face, roaring angrily, “Die!”

Before he finished speaking, a violent wave of energy swept out, distorting the void instantly. Sensing the imminent danger, Harleen’s pupils contracted sharply. She knew she couldn’t withstand this attack and quickly dodged to the side without thinking further.

However, in his rage, her opponent’s strike was not so easily evaded; his attack swiftly closed in on her.

“Harleen, watch out!” Billy’s voice rang out as he rushed over from afar. Despite using Cracked Sky, he couldn’t make it in time due to the distance.

Just as Harleen thought she would be severely injured, a sword light flashed past her side like a bolt of lightning.

The sword light clashed with the half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm elder’s attack, causing the void to crack open.

The elder spat blood and was sent flying several hundred meters away, a look of dread flashing across his face. Steadying himself, he looked towards Harleen’s rear void and shouted, “Who are you?!”

“Friends from the Institute, could you give me some face?” A middle-aged man holding a long sword descended from the sky. Judging by his aura, he was at fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm! Clearly, he had only used sixty to seventy percent of his power in that previous strike; otherwise, the Yheng Institute elder would have been dead already.

“Are you from Sword Sect?” The half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm elder frowned at him.

“Indeed,” replied Jimmy Acevedo calmly.

“Is Sword Sect planning to oppose the Institute?” The elder asked coldly.

“You exaggerate,” Jimmy Acevedo responded calmly. “I just find this young lady pleasing to the eye and ask for your mercy.”

“What if I insist on killing her today?” The elder asked again.

Before he could finish speaking, a blade light tore through the void towards him-Billy had made his move.

Heavenly Fury Slash!

The elder didn’t have time to react before the blade light flashed past him.

“…,” The elder opened his mouth as his body split in two and fell.

He didn’t even see who killed him!

We were still negotiating; now he’s dead?
