As Crane Leonard's voice fell, an overwhelmingly powerful surge of Chi energy flowed into his long sword. The blade exuded a chilling aura of death. With a flick of his wrist, a sword aura shot up into the sky, directly attacking the heavens. In the mid-air, a piercing, ear-splitting sound of cutting through the wind reverberated.
The next moment, a hundred-meter-long sword aura descended like lightning, rushing toward Billy's position with thunderous might.
At the moment of attack, there was absolutely no holding back. Crane Leonard's intention was clear--he wanted to kill Billy with a single strike. The enmity between their families was too deep, and he wouldn't miss any opportunity for revenge.
In the Land Rover not far away, Harleen's face was filled with intense worry, and her heart was hanging in the balance.
"Don't worry, Mrs Knight. Boss will be fine." Night Orchid reassured her with a smile.
"Alright," Harleen nodded faintly, though she couldn't help but continue to worry.
"Not bad, your 'Sword Through the Void' is almost there." Billy's voice sounded as he said, "Only, it's a bit weak. Let me assist you."
Whoosh!
As he spoke, he turned his wrist, activating the Cold Moon Saber Technique. A curved saber aura shot out, forming an arc of blade energy. With his current level of strength, dealing with a half-step War God-Emperor wasn't a problem at all.
The blade aura swept through, shattering everything in its path. Crane Leonard's sword aura had no chance of resisting and was instantly blown apart. The blade aura continued its trajectory, piercing straight through Crane Leonard. The next moment, the imposing aura in the air vanished, and Crane was on one knee, his right hand stuck into the ground to support himself.
He looked at Billy with great difficulty, unable to utter a word. A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth. At the same time, a trail of blood extended from his left shoulder to his right waist. Blood spurted out like a fountain. Following that, his body split into two pieces, lying lifeless on the ground. His eyes were wide open, filled with shock. Even in the moment before his death, he couldn't believe that he couldn't even block a single move from Commander Gardner. He had intended to kill Billy with a single blow, but it was all so laughable! Crane Leonard was filled with endless regret in his heart. He was the last hope of his clan, but he had died just like that.
The Leonard clan was truly done for!
"Hmm?" Seeing this scene, Pop Harding and the others were all astonished and wore shocked expressions. They had heard that Billy was strong, but they never expected him to be this strong. He had killed a half-step War God-Emperor with a single strike. And his nonchalant expression clearly indicated that he hadn't even used his full strength.
"Who wants to see me?" Billy then turned his gaze to Archibald and asked casually.
"Ruthless Lordling!" Pop Harding replied.
"Hmm?" Billy paused, "The Ruthless Lordling from the Eight Marvels of Ancient Martial Arts?"
Within the borders of the empire, the young generation of the ancient martial world included eight recognized prodigies, known as the Eight Marvels of Ancient Martial Arts. To stand out in the highly talented world of ancient martial arts and be chosen as one of the Eight Marvels of Ancient Martial Arts world, without a doubt, every one of them was an exceptional prodigy. Ivy Chandler, who was regarded as a rare talent that came once in a millennium for Secret Essences Sect, was one of them. As for the four men among the eight, they were the four young masters, and Ruthless Lordling held a prominent position among them.
Billy had limited interest in the ancient martial world, so he knew very little about it. He had only heard about these Eight Marvels in passing.
"That's right," Pop Harding confirmed.
"What's his purpose?" Billy asked again.
"He's come for you specifically. He wants to have a battle with you today. There's only one purpose for you to meet him, he wants to challenge you." Pop replied once more.
"Tell him to get out of the capital within three days, or else, he'll die." Billy said coldly.
