Chapter 2026: Return to Bladesong City
Apart from Harleen, everyone else also had significant gains.
As Billy had predicted, by evening, both Ivy and Opal faced the Thunder Tribulation. The process went smoothly, and they both broke through to the Entering Emptiness Realm.
Casey and Stout, after taking a Spirit Essence Pill, advanced two levels each with Billy’s help. Casey, Stout, and Amber all reached the half-step into Entering Emptiness Realm. Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Ian Blade, and Bob advanced to the ninth-rank Heaven Dao Realm.
For the next two days, everyone stayed in the valley. Harleen and Ivy consolidated their cultivation, while White Tiger and others focused on refining Sky-Splitting Pills, Spirit Fruits, and Beast Cores. After two days, everyone advanced to one level. Felicia, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger reached the seventh-rank Heaven Dao Realm, while Frostblade and Night Orchid reached the sixth-rank.
Billy himself took a Spirit Essence Pill and quickly refined it using his bloodline power, advancing to the third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm in less than half a day. With this, everyone’s combat power increased significantly.
That morning, the group reappeared in Bladesong City.
As they arrived at the clearing where they had killed Alani Osborn a few days earlier, a powerful aura enveloped the area. Soon, four figures appeared in the sky. With Billy’s current cultivation, he could sense martial energy up to the early Perfection Emptiness Realm.
He glanced at the four people: one was at first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, two were at half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm, and one was at eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.
“Did you kill our young lady?” The black-robed elder leading the group glared at Billy.
“Are you from the Osborn family?” Billy asked calmly.
“So it was you!” The elder’s voice was harsh. “You have some nerve killing someone from our family. Let’s see how many lives you have!”
With that, his aura burst forth.
“Is the Osborn family always this domineering?” A man walked over from a distance; it was Jimmy Acevedo from Sword Sect.
“Hmm?” The elder frowned. “You’re from Sword Sect?”
“Bladesong City is not Great Green City. You can’t kill people here as you please,” Jimmy said without directly answering.
“Sword Sect should stay out of this!” The elder’s frown deepened. “He killed our young lady and must die!”
“What arrogance!” Jimmy’s tone turned cold. “What if I insist on intervening?”
“Sword Sect may be strong here in Bladesong City, but don’t think we will show mercy!” The elder continued.
“Then let your Osborn family try,” Jimmy responded.
“Thank you for your kindness,” Billy smiled at Jimmy. “I’ll handle this myself.”
He then looked at the elder. “If you want revenge for your young lady, follow me. I’ll give you a chance.”
With that, he flew into the sky.
For Billy, it was already a life-and-death struggle with the Osborn family. Since they sent more people to die, he would eliminate them directly.
Jimmy opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.
“You’ll soon learn the cost of arrogance!” The elder followed Billy with his three companions.
Initially, Jimmy’s appearance had put the elder in a difficult position since he knew he couldn’t defeat him. But Billy’s arrogance played right into his hands.
“Kid, no matter who you are, today you’ll pay for…” The elder began as they approached Billy in mid-air.
Before he could finish, a Thunder Blade struck him.
Heavenly Fury Slash!
The elder had underestimated Billy and casually formed a seal to counter the attack. But in the next moment, he realized his mistake.
The blade light effortlessly sliced through his neck. His head flew off, blood spraying like a fountain, his face frozen in shock.
Jimmy Acevedo on the ground was equally shocked. In just a few days, Billy’s skills had grown immensely. Now he could kill a Perfection Emptiness Realm expert without using his trump cards!
The remaining three Osborn family members fled in terror. They couldn’t believe a first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert was killed so easily by someone at third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm!
Two of them were cut down by Billy’s blade lights before they could escape a thousand meters. The eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm member was killed by Harleen’s Five Elements Blade Dance.
“Mr. Billy truly deserves his reputation as a talented genius!” Jimmy Acevedo approached as Billy and Harleen landed.
“You’re too kind,” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Billy, I came to invite you to Sword Sect,” Jimmy continued.
“Lead the way,” Billy interrupted with a smile.
“Please follow me,” Jimmy said as he led them towards Sword Sect.
“Mr. Billy, wait!” Another man’s voice called out.
A middle-aged man approached carrying a large blade over two meters long on his shoulder.
“Clive Blade?” Jimmy frowned. “What are you doing here?”
“Bladesong City isn’t owned by Sword Sect. Why can’t I be here?” Clive Blade retorted before turning to Billy. “Mr. Billy, I’m Clive Blade from Blade Sect.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hello,” Billy responded with a smile.
He couldn’t sense any aura from Clive Blade, indicating he was at least fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.
“Mr. Billy, most of your companions are skilled with blades. Sword Sect may not be the best choice for you,” Clive Blade continued. “If you’re interested, Blade Sect would welcome you.”
“What do you mean?” Jimmy asked coldly. “Mr. Billy is our guest!”
“No need to get agitated. I’m just offering Mr. Billy another option,” Clive Blade shrugged.
“Don’t force me to act!” Jimmy warned as cold energy emanated from him.
“Foolish,” Clive Blade sneered. “Do you think you can defeat me?”
“Let’s find out!” Jimmy responded coldly.
