Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“You are wrong!” Jericho Acevedo responded.

“The Nine Dragons Cauldron doesn’t hold that much allure for our Sword Sect; we are merely doing what we must!”

“Mr. Billy is our guest in Bladesong City, and naturally, we are responsible for his safety. You…”

“Utter nonsense!” Leon Schmitt interrupted him.

“The Nine Dragons Cauldron, ranked first among the Ten Sacred Objects, holds no allure for you? Do you take me for a child?”

“Believe it or not, that’s your problem!” Jericho Acevedo replied.

“Enough with the chatter. Bring that boy out immediately, or by the end of today, there will be no more Sword Sect in this star domain!” Leon Schmitt said coldly.

“Mr. Schmitt, may I speak a fair word?” At this moment, Hawkeye Blade glanced at Leon Schmitt and spoke.

“Since Mr. Billy is a guest invited by the Sword Sect, they are indeed obligated to ensure his safety.”

“If the Institute has grievances with Mr. Billy, they can wait until he leaves Bladesong City…”

“Does your Blade Sect also wish to meddle in this?” Before Hawkeye Blade could finish, Leon Schmitt interrupted coldly.

“If you insist on siding with the Sword Sect, I don’t mind making both Blade and Sword Sect disappear!”

“Such arrogance!” At this moment, Ryder Blade’s voice came through.

He and Clayton Acevedo arrived with Casey and Ivy in tow.

“Clayton Acevedo, I didn’t expect you to still be alive!” Leon Schmitt’s gaze fixed on Clayton Acevedo. “It’s a pity that after all these years, you are still only at the seventh-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm!”

“Leon Schmitt, human greed is insatiable and can lead to trouble. If you heed my advice, take your people and leave!” Clayton Acevedo said calmly.

“Though the Institute is powerful, if you want to take down our Blade and Sword Sect, your Yheng Institute will have to sacrifice at least sixty to seventy percent of its strength. It will be a mutually destructive situation.”

“Even if you obtain the Nine Dragons Cauldron, what good will it do? Do you think you can handle such a high-level Sacred Object?”

“What a joke!” Leon Schmitt responded coldly. “If I get the Nine Dragons Cauldron, I will fear no one!”

“You are quite naive!” Clayton Acevedo said again calmly. “By your logic, Billy Boy shouldn’t fear your Yheng Institute either, right?”

“Hmph! That’s because his cultivation is too low to wield any of the Ten Sacred Objects!” Leon Schmitt retorted.

“My words end here. If you insist on being stubborn, then let’s fight!” Clayton Acevedo shrugged.

“If you wish to die, then so be it!” Leon Schmitt responded coldly.

As he spoke, a formidable aura exploded from him, raising the pressure in the void several levels.

A late-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm expert’s mere presence could make one feel despair!

“Attack!” Leon Schmitt shouted as he charged towards Clayton Acevedo.

“If you want my life, follow me!” Clayton Acevedo replied as he swiftly ascended into the sky to the right.

This was above Bladesong City; he wouldn’t fight here and risk the city’s destruction.

“As you wish!” Leon Schmitt followed closely behind.

“Jericho, leave this to you!” Ryder Blade called out to Jericho Acevedo before chasing after them.

Both he and Jericho Acevedo were at the sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, but his Phantom Blade Technique had reached Great Perfection Realm. At full strength, he could contend with a seventh-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert.

He estimated that together, they could barely fight Leon Schmitt!

“Elder Clayton, Ryder, be careful!” Jericho Acevedo shouted before charging at the sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder from the Grand Scribe Pavilion.

“Kill!” Both sides shouted simultaneously.

In an instant, the entire void descended into chaos.

The Bladesong City fighters intentionally drew the battle away from the city to avoid harming the citizens.

Despite their efforts, the city below still suffered impacts. Fortunately, the citizens were prepared and had taken cover.

Meanwhile, nearly a hundred figures rose from Blade and Sword Sect’s compound into the sky. These were mid-to-late Heaven Dao Realm and Entering Emptiness Realm warriors.

Other disciples stayed within the sect grounds, knowing that joining the battle would be futile and suicidal.

In terms of high-end combat power, Yheng Institute had a clear advantage.

Though both sides had similar numbers of Perfection Emptiness Realm experts, Yheng Institute had nearly ten mid-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm fighters, while the two sects combined had only seven or eight.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Additionally, Yheng Institute had two sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elders and two fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm instructors.

On the Blade and Sword Sect side, only Dorian Acevedo and Hawkeye Blade were fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm; the rest were fourth-rank.

Thus, not long after the battle began, Bladesong City found itself on the defensive. They relied on their numerical advantage; otherwise, things would have been worse.

Casey and Ivy also joined the fray without hesitation.

A loud crash echoed from the sky as Jericho Acevedo clashed with the sixth-rank elder from the opposing side. The void cracked inch by inch.

Both fighters were thrown back two to three thousand meters, each with blood trickling from their mouths. It was a stalemate.

“You Blade and Sword Sect are overestimating yourselves. By the end of today, there will be no more Blade and Sword Sect in the Great Green Star Domain!” The black-robed elder said coldly before charging at Jericho Acevedo again.

“If you want to destroy my Blade and Sword Sect, let’s see if you have what it takes!” Jericho Acevedo showed no signs of retreat as he raised his hand to meet the attack.

Both fighters went all out, causing chaos in the void.

Meanwhile, not far away, a loud crash resounded as Dorian Acevedo was sent flying a thousand meters by a sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder woman from the opposing side.

The gap in their ranks was evident; Dorian Acevedo’s combat strength was clearly inferior. After a few exchanges, he was already showing signs of defeat.

“Die!”

The elder woman said coldly as she raised her hand. A massive palm descended from above Dorian Acevedo’s head, blocking out the sky.

Knowing he couldn’t dodge, Dorian Acevedo gritted his teeth and thrust his sword towards the palm with several sword strikes.

Their attacks collided, causing Dorian Acevedo to spit blood as he plummeted rapidly. His aura was chaotic.

After falling two to three hundred meters, he managed to stabilize himself in mid-air but lost two to three tenths of his combat strength.

“Not bad. Take another hit!”

The elder woman didn’t intend to let him off easily. As she spoke, a violent mark swept towards Dorian Acevedo like thunder.

Dorian Acevedo had just steadied himself when he saw the attack coming. His pupils contracted sharply.

At that moment, Jericho Acevedo clashed with his opponent again from thousands of meters away and sent a sword strike towards the elder woman’s attack.

The powerful shockwave sent Dorian Acevedo flying a thousand meters away but saved him from danger.

“Don’t engage her head-on; just stall her!” Jericho Acevedo’s voice reached his ears.

“Got it!” Dorian Acevedo quickly swallowed two healing pills and dodged aside.

“Let’s see how long you can dodge!” The elder woman glanced at Jericho Acevedo before chasing after Dorian Acevedo.
