Chapter 2038: Mr. Billy is My Friend
Just as Jericho Acevedo was helping his son out of a crisis, a mark from the black-robed elder struck his defensive aura.
Although Jericho Acevedo managed to avoid a fatal hit at the last moment, he was still thrown a thousand meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re struggling to protect yourself and still want to save your son? How foolish!” The black-robed elder sneered as he advanced again.
Jericho Acevedo didn’t engage head-on this time; he darted to the left.
The black-robed elder’s eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his hand to form a barrier around them.
“Do you think you can trap me with a barrier? Think again!” Jericho Acevedo shouted, gripping his sword tightly and charging towards the barrier’s edge.
The barrier was torn open, and Jericho Acevedo escaped.
Both were sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm; trapping each other with their realms was unrealistic.
“I want to see how long you can last!” The black-robed elder frowned and chased after him again.
He had thought Jericho Acevedo’s combat power had decreased after the earlier attack, making it easier to break through his barrier, but he was wrong.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away, a loud crash echoed as Casey and his opponent were both thrown seven or eight hundred meters back.
Casey was at the half-step into Entering Emptiness Realm, while his opponent was fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.
Casey knew that with such a gap in levels, he had no chance without using his trump card, so he immediately activated Heavenly Fury Slash.
His opponent initially underestimated Casey and suffered a deep wound from the Heavenly Fury Slash, reducing his combat power by two or three levels.
After using Heavenly Fury Slash once, Casey’s Chi power was significantly depleted, resulting in a stalemate between them.
However, over time, Casey’s Chi power had recovered to eighty or ninety percent thanks to the Chi Condensing Pill.
“Kid, I’m done playing with you. Die now!” The opponent said coldly after a brief rest.
As he spoke, the man quickly moved forward, sending out a mark.
“See you in the next life!” Casey coldly glanced at his opponent and unleashed another Heavenly Fury Slash.
After the blade light passed, a head flew into the sky with an incredulous expression.
“Brother!!!”
A middle-aged man cried out in pain upon seeing this scene.
He then attacked Casey with eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm power!
Sensing the incoming attack, Casey’s pupils contracted. He quickly dodged to the side without thinking.
Although he reacted immediately, he was still half a beat too slow and was thrown hundreds of meters by the shockwave, blood trickling from his mouth.
“You killed my brother; now you’ll pay with your life!” The middle-aged man roared and charged again.
“Mr. Kimmons, be careful!” Ivy shouted in alarm from not far away upon seeing the situation.
She then rushed over, her sword forming several stances as she confronted the middle-aged man.
“Get lost!” The middle-aged man dismissed Ivy with a casual wave of his hand, sending her flying.
Ivy had no chance of resisting; she was only first-rank Entering Emptiness Realm and no match for him.
“Remember to kneel and apologize to my brother in the nether world!” The middle-aged man said as he swept Ivy aside and charged at Casey again.
The next moment, a violent mark hurtled towards Casey with unstoppable force.
Casey was severely injured and weakened. Even if he wanted to avoid a direct confrontation, there was no time to dodge. He could only watch as the attack approached.
At that moment, a powerful shockwave swept through, distorting the void instantly.
“Hmm?!” Sensing the danger, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank to pinpoints.
In his panic, he quickly dodged to the side.
He was half a beat too slow; the shockwave threw him a thousand meters away, lifeless in mid-air.
He didn’t even see who killed him.
From the strength of the attack, it was clear that it came from a Perfection Emptiness Realm expert.
Soon after, a group of about ten people flew over from not far away. Leading them was Juliana Frost, the young lady of the Alchemists’ Alliance!
Beside her stood an elderly man with white hair and beard. He was the one who had just attacked. His aura indicated that he was fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm!
It was evident that this person wasn’t from Bladesong City Alchemists’ Alliance. He likely came from a fifth or sixth-tier star domain.
Following them was Dalton Frost, the deputy leader of Bladesong City Alchemists’ Alliance, who was second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.
The ten people behind them were also strong members of Bladesong City Alchemists’ Alliance, all at least Entering Emptiness Realm. Among them were three first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts.
It was surprising that an Alchemists’ Alliance branch had so many high-level combatants.
“Thank you for your help!” Casey and Ivy bowed to the group simultaneously. “May I ask who you are?”
“We’re from Alchemists’ Alliance. Where is Mr. Billy? We don’t see him,” Juliana Frost asked them.
“Thank you for your assistance, Miss Frost!” Casey bowed again. “My boss isn’t here…”
Billy had already described what happened at Alchemists’ Alliance in detail a few days ago, so Casey and Ivy knew about them.
They just didn’t expect Alchemists’ Alliance to come to their aid.
Before Casey could finish speaking, several Institute members attacked them.
“Talk later!” Juliana Frost signaled her people. “Attack!”
With her command, the Alchemists’ Alliance members sprang into action simultaneously.
“Are you from Alchemists’ Alliance?” An Institute elder shouted at William Frost, the white-haired old man.
“This is between our Institute and Bladesong City. You’d better stay out of it!”
“Mr. Billy is our friend. If your Institute wants to deal with him, we won’t allow it!” William Frost responded.
“How ridiculous!” The Institute elder retorted coldly.
“Billy has been in Bladesong City for less than half a month. When did he become your friend? You’re just after the Nine Dragons Cauldron!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Do you think everyone is like your Institute?” William Frost replied.
“Enough talk!” The Institute elder said again. “If you like meddling so much, we’ll oblige!”
“Don’t think that just because you’re from Alchemists’ Alliance, our Institute will fear you. Once we get the Nine Dragons Cauldron, even your headquarters will bow down!”
With that, he attacked William Frost.
“Let’s see if you have what it takes to get the Nine Dragons Cauldron!”
William Frost didn’t retreat; he charged forward to meet him.
