The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 Half-Step War God-Emperor

Billy, currently in a defensive position, had no other choice but to go on the offensive. Billy's wrist continued to twist as his Bloodshadow Fury Blade unleashed several blade auras to meet the oncoming threat.

The two sides' attacks collided violently, blades and swords clashing, creating an overwhelmingly terrifying shockwave that spread out like a landslide. In the blink of an eye, after more than ten rounds of confrontation, both sides had retreated seven or eight steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground. Billy had a few more cuts, but fortunately, they were just superficial wounds.

However, Lionel Warner, lying nearby, was not as lucky. He had already been on the brink of death and now bore numerous horrifying wounds all over his body. Lying on the ground, his mouth opened wide as copious amounts of blood poured out, convulsing briefly before falling silent.

"Half-Step War God-Emperor?"

After stabilizing himself, Billy looked at the figure about a hundred meters away, and his pupils contracted again.

Dressed in a green robe and wearing a black and white mask, it was clear from her figure that she was a woman. In the realm of martial arts, beyond the War Emperor, there was the War God-Emperor realm. This person was the first opponent Billy had encountered who was so close to reaching the War God-Emperor realm, just one step away from officially entering the War God-Emperor realm. It was clear that the strength of Ink Pavilion, an organization with a history spanning thousands of years, was not to be underestimated.

"Commander Gardner, you didn't disappoint. Even though you haven't fully healed from your injuries, you managed to take on so many of my attacks!" The woman spoke, her voice as melodious as a songbird's.

"Nobody has been able to hurt me in a face-to-face battle for a long time. You're quite impressive!" Billy replied.

"Likewise!" The woman spoke again. "Under my full force, you're the first person in recent years to have injured me."

In those previous dozen or so rounds, she had indeed hurt Billy, but she had also been injured by his blade energy, causing her internal energy and blood to surge.

"Ink Pavilion's people are truly ruthless. You must have killed Lionel Warner intentionally, right?" Billy squinted.

"He was already crippled by you, and he was barely clinging to life. It's better to give him a quick death." The woman continued with a smile.

"I'm curious about your identity. Aren't you a bit young to be a part of the Elder Council of Ink Pavilion?" Billy asked again.

Based on the information provided by Melvin Pearce, it seemed that only members of the Elder Council were above the four Ink Pavilion chief leaders.

"Commander Gardner, can you guess how old I am? If you guess correctly, I'll tell you." The woman replied with a smile.

"Sixty or seventy?" Billy guessed.

"Haha..." The woman giggled. "I didn't expect Commander Gardner to have such a sense of humor."

"I have another question. You don't seem to belong to this base's composition, so how did you end up here?"

"I can turn that question back to you," the woman responded. "SHADOW caused such a disturbance in Earthford, killing so many of my Ink Pavilion members. We knew it was you, so we guessed you would come here."

"I see," Billy muttered to himself for a moment. "I'll give you a chance. If you reveal the location of your Ink Pavilion's headquarters, I'll let you go."

"Commander Gardner, you're quite confident." The woman laughed again.

"If your injuries were completely healed, I might not be your match. But as you are now, with only the strength of a War Emperor at its pinnacle, you're still half a level below a Half-Step War God-Emperor. You should know very well that at this level, half a level of difference cannot be easily compensated for with a slight advantage in innate talent. Moreover, due to your injuries, it's difficult for you to fully unleash the true power of the Bloodshadow Blade Technique. At most, you can only activate 70% of its power."
