Chapter 276 The Death of the Powerful War Emperor

"Another War Emperor?" Billy furrowed his brows. "You really seek death. I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, he unleashed a powerful palm strike with full force, and a hurricane-like palm energy rushed forward.

The two attacks clashed violently, sending a tremendous shockwave in all directions. Rows of trees were snapped in half at their trunks, and leaves filled the air.

At the same time, the newcomer spurted blood into the sky and was sent flying backward. In mid- air, he left a curved trail of blood before crashing into the ground, creating a large pit. His bones shattered, and he lay there lifeless.

"How... how could it be possible?" With great effort, he managed to speak a few words before his head tilted to the side, life extinguished. His face wore an expression of disbelief.

After sending his opponent flying, Billy wasted no time and swiftly closed the distance again. Despite the few seconds' delay, he quickly caught up with the elderly man.

"How dare you kill a Sanctum of Darkness Elder, you're truly doomed!" The old man shouted as he ran, his voice filled with alarm. He couldn't believe how powerful Billy was.

"Stubborn fool, just lie down!" Billy's voice was stern. Immediately, he flicked his wrist, and his Bloodshadow Fury Blade appeared. A blood-red blade aura descended from the sky, slashing toward the old man.

Sensing the danger from behind, the old man tried to evade. Although he reacted quickly, he was still too slow. The blade aura brushed past his right knee, severing his lower leg, and he fell to the

ground with a howl of pain.

Billy had done this deliberately; otherwise, the man wouldn't have had a chance to live.

"Ah..." The old man screamed in agony.

Billy swiftly moved closer and, with a flick of his wrist, sent three silver needles into the man's body.

"What are you doing?" The old man, trembling all over, asked in a trembling voice. After a pause, he exclaimed, "You sealed my cultivation!"

"If you don't want to suffer a living death, answer my questions." Billy said with a furrowed brow. He had sealed the man's cultivation to prevent him from taking his own life.

"Humph! I admit defeat in strength, but if you want information from me, you'll have to wait for your next life!" The old man wasn't willing to yield so easily.

Billy's eyes narrowed, and he shot several gusts of wind into the man's heart.

"Ah..." In the next moment, the old man writhed on the ground, his eyes filled with panic. He soon cried out, "I'll tell you... Please stop!"

Billy released another burst of wind, and the excruciating pain subsided. The old man lay on the ground, shivering like a pile of mud.

"Tell me. What does that jade pendant have to do with everything?" Billy asked.

"I... I don't know..." The old man struggled to speak. "I just follow orders..."

Billy furrowed his brows again. He could tell from the man's eyes that he was likely telling the truth.

"I'm afraid even the entire Sanctum of Darkness doesn't know the specifics." The old man continued.

Billy heaved a sigh. It seemed he would have to find answers about the jade pendant elsewhere.

"This time, the people from Purgatory Gate targeting Buddha Hall were acting on Sanctum of Darkness's orders, right? Besides capturing people, did they have any other objectives?" Billy asked, shifting the conversation away from the jade pendant.

"Sanctum of Darkness... They knew about Rakshasa Hall being your people, so... they wanted to use that as bait to capture them all." the old man replied, fearfully.

"And was this decision made by Sanctum of Darkness, or was there someone else involved?" Billy pressed on.

He had suspected from the beginning that the situation wasn't as simple as it seemed. He couldn't figure out why Sanctum of Darkness had waited until White Tiger's group had arrived before acting against Rakshasa Hall. It seemed they were deliberately making things more difficult for themselves, which made no sense. There was something amiss, and Billy had a hunch that the real target wasn't Rakshasa Hall but rather SHADOW.

"... I'm not very clear about the details." the old man said, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Just as the words left his mouth, the sound of bones breaking echoed through the air, and the old man's shoulder blade shattered into pieces from a palm strike by Billy.

"Ah..." The old man screamed again, enduring intense pain. After a short pause, he continued in a trembling voice, "I really don't know... I only heard that someone paid a huge sum of money to Sanctum of Darkness to target Rakshasa Hall..."

"Who was it?" Billy furrowed his brows.

Billy had always suspected that this matter wasn't as straightforward as it seemed.

"It's...," the old man took a deep breath before speaking again. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Just then, a sniper round whizzed by with a faint breaking sound of the wind. Billy's thoughts had been consumed by the matter, so he didn't react immediately.

In the next moment, a cloud of blood burst from the old man's forehead as he was shot in the head.

"Hmm?" Billy frowned and turned to look at a hillside about two or three kilometers away. His gaze sharpened. However, he didn't pursue. The distance was a bit far, and the sniper likely didn't know much. Even if he chased, it wouldn't serve any practical purpose. Moreover, he had a vague suspicion that this incident might be related to several major families back in his home country.

They didn't dare to act recklessly in Galvale, but here in Place of Darkness, they could act without restraint, using the hand of Sanctum of Darkness without anyone knowing.

"You all better pray I don't find any evidence!" Billy stared ahead, a chilling and intense murderous intent emanating from him. He then bent down to pick up the dragon-shaped jade pendant from the old man's body. After a quick glance, he found it nearly identical to his own, with only a slight difference in the color of the dragon's head. Without thinking too much, he turned and headed back the way he came.

A few minutes later, on the flat ground outside the cave, he carefully tended to the injuries of his Bloodshadow Guard brothers. About half an hour later, Casey and the others emerged from the cave.
