2045. The Invisible Kill
“Don’t understand my words?” the black-robed elder continued to sneer.
“It won’t be long before your entire Cooper family disappears from the mid-tier star domain!”
“Such arrogance, just because of your Moore family?” Reese Cooper retorted.
“Our Moore family alone can’t do it,” the black-robed elder said calmly. “However, in the sixth-tier star domain, there are more forces than just us who want to see the Cooper family perish!”
“Nonsense!” Liam Cooper responded coldly. “Even in the sixth-tier star domain, apart from your Moore family, the Cooper family has always maintained neutrality with other forces…”
“That was in the past!” the black-robed elder interrupted him. “You might not know this, but your family’s eldest daughter recently did something quite remarkable for your family!”
“What do you mean?” Liam Cooper frowned again.
“She rejected someone who wanted to take her as a concubine, and she did it very decisively!” the black-robed elder replied. “Not only that, but she also killed the person sent by that individual to negotiate with the Cooper family!”
“Who did she reject?” Liam Cooper pressed.
“The young lord of Asura City!” the black-robed elder said calmly.
“Huh?!” Upon hearing this, everyone in the Cooper family was stunned.
Immediately, everyone’s hearts sank.
Although they were in the fourth-tier star domain, they had certainly heard of ‘Asura City’!
If the Cooper family was considered a top-tier force in the mid-tier star domain, then Asura City was one of the superpowers!
Compared to Asura City, the Cooper family was indeed far inferior!
“Now do you understand your family’s situation?” the black-robed elder smiled faintly.
“The eldest daughter wouldn’t kill someone from Asura City without reason. Did they do something deserving of death?” Reese Cooper asked.
“Heh, you’re so naive!” the black-robed elder sneered again. “Do you think the reason matters? Can your Cooper family kill someone from Asura City just because you want to?”
Reese Cooper opened his mouth but said nothing more.
The elder wasn’t wrong!
Regardless of the reason, killing someone from Asura City was like poking a hornet’s nest. The people of Asura City were not ones to sit down and reason with you.
“Enough talk!” the black-robed elder said again. “You’d better pray that Billy shows up soon, or my patience will run out!”
With that, he ignored Liam Cooper and the others.
Less than two hours later, Billy and his group appeared at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Seeing the bodies lying around, Billy frowned deeply, a thick killing intent emanating from him.
“Mr. Billy!”
Seeing Billy and his group, Liam Cooper and his son quickly approached. After a brief rest, their injuries had slightly improved.
“Mr. Billy, is it just you few?” Liam Cooper asked after a moment of surprise.
He had mentioned in his message to Billy that several Perfection Emptiness Realm experts from the Moore family had come this time.
Moreover, he couldn’t even gauge the cultivation level of their leader, but he estimated it to be at least mid-level Perfection Emptiness Realm.
So he hoped Billy could bring more people from Bladesong City.
But now seeing only a few people, his heart tightened.
Although he knew Billy was strong, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a mid-level Perfection Emptiness Realm expert!
Reese Cooper also showed a serious expression.
“Stout, check Elder Liam and the Cooper family’s injuries,” Billy nodded at them.
“Mr. Billy, our injuries are not serious…” Liam Cooper shook his head.
“Are you Billy?” At that moment, an elder’s voice rang out as the black-robed elder approached with about twenty people.
“Mr. Billy, they are from the Moore family!” Reese Cooper said.
“Yes!” Billy nodded and looked at them. “Did you kill these people?”
“You should worry about your own life first!” a man from the other side responded coldly. “Daring to kill someone from our Moore family, you have some nerve!”
“If you want to live, cripple your own cultivation and hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron, or die!”
“Boss, should we just cut them down?” Stout asked Billy.
Reese Cooper’s mouth twitched slightly.
This brother here, do you think you can just cut down someone at least at the fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm?
“You should kill yourselves; I’ll leave your bodies intact,” Billy said calmly to them.
Cough… Liam Cooper and his son choked at his words.
Such arrogance!
“Hahaha…” The man laughed loudly. Then he turned serious: “You really are ignorant to the extreme. Do you know who you’re talking to? I think you’re simply…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, the man flew two or three hundred meters away, a bloodline appearing on his chest. He fell to the ground and went still.
Blade spirit!
This was Billy’s first time using blade spirit for a surprise attack, and it worked quite well!
The man had an eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm cultivation. If they were in a direct fight and he was on guard, Billy’s current control over blade spirit wouldn’t have been enough to defeat him.
But the man never expected Billy to have such an invisible killing technique and was completely unprepared, making it a one-move kill.
“Hmm?!”
Seeing this scene, everyone including those from the Cooper family showed shock on their faces.
Although they weren’t experts in blade techniques, they knew that killing invisibly could only be done in a few ways.
Considering that Billy used a blade as his weapon, it was easy to guess that it was blade spirit!
But the problem was that cultivating an invisible killing blade spirit wasn’t easy!
Not to mention Entering Emptiness Realm cultivators; even Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivators couldn’t easily achieve it!
While Liam Cooper was surprised, he used spiritual power to probe Billy’s cultivation level.
The next moment, he almost bit his tongue!
In less than two months, Billy had broken through three levels.
He finally understood what it meant to be infuriated by comparison!
“Bastard, you really don’t know…” Meanwhile, the black-robed elder shouted angrily.
“Kill!” Before he could finish speaking, Billy said coldly.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
He wanted to test his training results just now and was quite satisfied!
He was confident that given more time, he could elevate his blade spirit’s power to the level of Heavenly Fury Slash.
At that point, even a first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent would be just a thought away from death.
As soon as he finished speaking, Harleen and Opal charged forward.
Since they were already in a life-and-death struggle with the Moore family, there was no need for more words.
