Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Recently, everyone had heard Maisy Cooper mention that in the mid-level star domain, there were beasts comparable to Emptiness Realm experts. Among them, the Shadow Beast’s combat power was equivalent to that of an Entering Emptiness Realm warrior. If it was a high-level Shadow Beast, it would clearly have the strength comparable to the later stages of the Entering Emptiness Realm.

“Yes!” Billy nodded.

The four of them hurried on their way at full speed. After about ten minutes, they landed on a mountainous area in the southern outskirts of the city.

“Boss!” Casey led a few people, including Azure Dragon, to greet them quickly.

“What’s the situation?” Billy asked.

“Azure Dragon and I tracked two men who were looting in the city to this place. Before I sent you the message, a high-level Shadow Beast rushed out from that valley ahead,” Casey responded.

“The beast was very strong. The five of us together couldn’t take it down, and it eventually got away.”

“I just used my spiritual power to probe inside that valley. There should be more than one beast in there, so we didn’t venture in recklessly.”

“What about those two men?” Stout asked.

“They disappeared!” Casey shook his head.

“Could they be from the Beast Wranglers’ Alliance?” Harleen suggested.

“Azure Dragon and I had the same suspicion!” Casey nodded.

“So there really is a Beast Wranglers’ Alliance!” Stout remarked.

“Let’s go take a look!” Billy said, leading the group towards the valley.

As they walked, Billy released his spiritual power to scan an area within a hundred kilometers. Just as Casey had said, there were indeed several strong energy fluctuations within the valley.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the valley.

“Wait here for me. I’ll go in and take a look,” Billy instructed.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Billy, be careful!” Harleen warned.

“Okay,” Billy nodded and then flew into the valley.

As soon as he entered the valley, a large raptor flew out from the forest and spat out a strong gust of wind. From this attack alone, it was clear that the raptor’s combat power was comparable to an eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm warrior.

Billy’s eyes narrowed as he swung his Bloodshadow Fury Blade, sending an arc of blade light towards the raptor. The blade light flashed, and the raptor fell from mid-air, its body severed and blood spraying everywhere.

Almost simultaneously, three more similar raptors charged at Billy, their massive wings stirring up a storm. Although these raptors were strong, they were no match for Billy. Three more arcs of blade light later, they were all cut in half and fell to the ground.

Billy then landed on the valley floor and spread out his spiritual power. Suddenly, a beastly roar echoed through the valley. A moment later, a massive six-horned beast appeared before Billy. Its entire body was covered in shiny scales, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

A ninth-rank Shadow Beast!

Before Billy could react, two more roars sounded, and two more ninth-rank Shadow Beasts appeared in his line of sight. The three beasts charged at Billy like moving mountains, shaking the ground as they went. Trees were snapped in half as they passed, leaves flying everywhere.

Billy gripped his blade tightly and sent out three arcs of blade light to meet them. However, to his surprise, the blade lights only pushed the beasts back by about a hundred meters without even breaking their scales. Given his current strength, even without using any trump cards, a single slash should have been enough to kill a ninth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm warrior. Yet these beasts were unharmed, indicating how tough their scales were.

The three beasts roared again and launched another attack, sending waves of violent energy towards Billy.

“Die!” Billy frowned slightly and unleashed a Heavenly Fury Slash with his blade.

The first two beasts continued running for another dozen meters before collapsing. One crashed into a rock, shattering it into pieces before twitching a few times and lying still. The other slid several dozen meters before stopping after breaking a large tree trunk, blood pooling beneath it.

Seeing this, the third beast immediately stopped and fled into the forest. As a high-level Shadow Beast, it had developed some intelligence and knew better than to fight head-on like lower-level beasts.

“Stout would love your beast core,” Billy remarked as he sent another blade light after the fleeing beast. The blade light struck its back, causing blood to spray as it ran another two or three hundred meters before collapsing.

After killing the three Shadow Beasts, Billy scanned the surroundings again before turning towards the valley entrance and calling Casey and the others over.

“Wow…” Stout’s eyes lit up upon seeing the dead Shadow Beasts. He took out a curved blade from his storage ring and began working on them.

“You two aren’t planning to come out?” Billy said towards a spot in the right-side forest. He had already sensed their presence when he was above the valley; they were clearly the two men Casey had been chasing earlier.

Hearing his words, there was some movement in the forest.

“Trying to run?” Casey said coldly as he dashed forward, followed by Harleen and Ivy. After a brief skirmish, several towering trees were cut down, and two figures fell from mid-air. One crashed onto a rock, ending up bloodied and battered. The other had better luck, landing on a thick layer of leaves and surviving.

“Spare me! Don’t kill me!” The man cried out in terror, blood pouring from his mouth. Casey soon dragged him over and threw him in front of Billy.

“Please… don’t kill me…” The man begged while kowtowing.

“Are you from the Beast Wranglers’ Alliance?” Billy asked.

“Beast Wranglers’ Alliance?” The man was momentarily stunned before shaking his head.

“No… no… There are no Beast Wranglers’ Alliance people in Great Green Star Domain; they only exist in fifth-rank star domains…”

“Then who are you?” Azure Dragon asked.

“We… we are from Heaven Cloud Sect…” The man continued.

“Our Sect Master once went to a fifth-rank star domain and learned some beast-taming techniques from the Beast Wranglers’ Alliance. We only know a little bit…”

“Heaven Cloud Sect?” Billy frowned slightly. Gloria Russo had mentioned this sect before; it was ranked first in Great Green City.

“Yes…” The man nodded.

“What is your Sect Master’s cultivation level?” Azure Dragon asked again.

“Sect Master is at second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm…” The man responded.

“Judging by your behavior in the city earlier, Heaven Cloud Sect doesn’t seem like anything good either!” Azure Dragon remarked before looking at Billy. “Boss, should we kill him?”

“Spare me…” The man shouted desperately.

“Great Green City has been in chaos recently. Besides looting, does your Heaven Cloud Sect have any other plans?” Billy asked while staring into his eyes.

“No… no…” The man hesitated briefly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
