One of the elderly men let out a heavy sigh, then looked towards Night Orchid.
"You must be Lady Night Orchid, the governor of the northern district of SHADOW, right? May I ask what exactly has happened? Why is your SHADOW men resorting to such force to come to our Leonard Estate? Could it be about the incident from last time? That matter has already been concluded by the Central Sky Department. Are you intending to oppose the Central Sky Department's decision with SHADOW's actions?"
"Don't waste your words. Today, your efforts won't be enough to handle this!" Night Orchid's cold voice cut off the man's words. "Because you're just guest officials of the Leonard Clan, if you leave now, I can spare your lives. Otherwise, you will be considered obstructing the capture of criminals by SHADOW, and we will strike you down!"
"I wonder who the criminal you mentioned is?" The elderly man asked after taking a deep breath.
"You have thirty seconds left. If you don't leave with your people, you will bear the consequences!" Night Orchid didn't bother responding to his words.
"Are all the members of you SHADOW so lawless?" Another elderly man spoke angrily. "I refuse to believe that you can kill all several hundred of us!"
Although he feared the other side's formation, he wasn't willing to retreat without a fight. Moreover, his responsibilities were here at the Leonard Estate. He couldn't simply leave.
Retreating meant death!
"Attack!" Both Ken Rose, the leader of the Bloodshadow Guard unit, and Brigham Bush, the capital inspector of SHADOW, raised their hands simultaneously.
"Kill!" The two hundred men roared in unison, their voices thunderous.
In the next moment, they charged towards the crowd of the other side.
"Stop them!" A shout came from the other side, and four to five hundred men raised the large knives in their hands to meet them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal collisions immediately filled the air, figures flickered, and blades swung wildly. While the other side had around five hundred men, they were merely common guards, the strongest of them only at the Battle General level. Faced with the Bloodshadow Guard, they were nothing more than insects.
In less than two minutes, a large number of bodies lay on the ground, with severed limbs and broken bodies. Most were either dead or seriously wounded.
"You all deserve to die!" the elderly man who had spoken earlier shouted with rage.
"Enough, it's your turn now. Take action!" Night Orchid's eyes sharpened, and the crescent moon blade sliced out, sending a chilling arc of light towards the elderly man.
"Then let me learn about the skills of a district governor of SHADOW!" The elderly man's pupils contracted, and he roared in anger. As he spoke, he moved swiftly, his large knife creating a fierce arc of light accompanied by a sound like ripping cloth.
However, he had clearly underestimated Night Orchid's skills. The formidable arc of light he had unleashed was effortlessly dissolved by Night Orchid's blade, which then continued on to pierce through his heart.
"How... how is this possible..." After falling to the ground, the elderly man spoke with difficulty, his head tilting as he gasped for breath.
"Let's take them down!" The other eight or nine strong men behind the two elderly figures roared in unison. Immediately after, they charged forward, brandishing their large knives, each of them with formidable cultivation levels. Five were at the Later Stage of Battle General Realm, and four were at the Battle God Realm.
"Come back! You're not their match!" The two elderly figures shouted simultaneously.
