Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Alright!” Ryder Blade nodded.

Having made the decision, he didn’t hesitate. He had to send Billy into the forbidden land before the people from Yheng Institute arrived in Bladesong City.

For the next few days, Clayton Acevedo and Billy’s group stayed at Blade Sect.

Ryder Blade, who had the deepest understanding of the Phantom Blade Technique in the entire Blade Sect, personally guided Billy.

In fact, the moment Billy saw the manual for the Phantom Blade Technique, he already had a good idea.

Although this blade technique was profound, it wasn’t much different from Cracked Sky.

For the first two days, he didn’t touch a blade and focused on understanding the manual. On the third day, he began formal training.

Billy knew that Yheng Institute wouldn’t give him much time, so he immersed himself in practicing the Phantom Blade Technique day and night.

Drawing the blade, striking, and sheathing it!

He repeated these actions over and over again!

The result was enough to leave Ryder Blade and his son astounded!

In just five days, Billy had mastered the Phantom Blade Technique to the Great Perfection Realm!

Billy felt that the power of this Phantom Blade Technique was even stronger than Cracked Sky.

With his current cultivation, if he activated his bloodline power to its fullest, Cracked Sky could instantly kill a third-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent, while this Phantom Blade Technique could easily slay a fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent!

“Mr. Billy is indeed a rare genius!” Ryder Blade couldn’t help but exclaim after Billy demonstrated the Phantom Blade Technique once again that evening.

“Elder Ryder flatters me!” Billy smiled faintly. “Thank you for your guidance!”

“Mr. Billy, there’s no need to be polite. I didn’t really help you much!” Ryder Blade replied with a smile.

On the eighth day, early in the morning.

Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo led Billy and his group to a cliff on the southwest side of Bladesong City. Below the cliff was a swirling mist.

“Elder Clayton, is the forbidden land you mentioned down there?” Azure Dragon asked Clayton Acevedo.

“Yes!” Clayton Acevedo nodded. “Let’s go down!”

With that, he led the group down through the air.

The cliff was quite deep; they descended three to four hundred meters without reaching the bottom.

At this point, Clayton Acevedo and Ryder Blade stopped. They simultaneously raised their hands to form a mysterious mark and sent it towards a nearby rock wall.

The next moment, a stone cave about ten meters wide appeared on the rock wall.

It was clearly an array!

Entering the stone cave, the group walked for a short distance before arriving at a moderately sized cavern.

Inside, apart from some oddly shaped stalactites, it was empty.

“What does this mean? Is this the forbidden land?” Stout asked in confusion.

“Of course not!” Clayton Acevedo replied.

Then, he and Ryder Blade walked to a rock wall on the right side and sent out another mark.

Immediately, ripples like those of a barrier appeared on the rock wall.

“Mr. Billy, this is the Teleportation Array leading to the forbidden land. We can only send you this far because those with Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivation are prohibited from entering.”

Ryder Blade then looked at Billy. “We’ll wait for you here!”

“Alright!” Billy nodded.

“Billy, you can take your wife with you. She also knows the Phantom Sword Technique, so you can look out for each other,” Clayton Acevedo suggested.

“I can go too?” Harleen asked.

“Yes!” Ryder Blade confirmed.

“Billy, I’ll go with you!”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Harleen was already worried about Billy going in alone and didn’t hesitate after hearing this.

“Alright!” Billy smiled faintly.

Then, after bidding farewell to everyone, they entered the Teleportation Array through the air.

About half an hour later, they passed through a dark passage and arrived in an alternate space.

Unlike previous forbidden lands they had entered, this place seemed like a void. There was nothing in sight-no sky, no mountains or rivers, no living beings.

“What is this place? It’s so strange,” Harleen remarked.

“Honey, be careful!” Billy surveyed their surroundings. “Let’s check ahead!”

“Okay!” Harleen nodded in response.

However, they had only flown about a hundred meters when they sensed something unusual.

The entire space seemed to activate instantly, filled with an overwhelming aura of blades and swords, several times stronger than what they had encountered at Sword Hill in Canyon View Institute.

“What’s going on?” Harleen shivered involuntarily.

“If I’m not mistaken, this space might be an independent realm formed by a strong individual’s sword and blade intent,” Billy speculated.

“A Realm of Swords and Blades?” Harleen asked.

“Yes!” Billy nodded.

They continued flying forward through the air.

After about four or five hundred meters, a shadowy figure approached them.

Upon closer inspection, it was a phantom figure holding a phantom sword.

“Honey, be careful!” Billy warned as he raised his hand and struck with his palm.

The phantom figure was blasted back three or four hundred meters but didn’t disappear. After pausing briefly, it charged again.

“Hmm?” Billy frowned slightly.

His earlier strike could have instantly killed a mid-stage Entering Emptiness Realm warrior, yet it had no effect on this phantom figure.

Without thinking further, Billy summoned all his strength and struck again with his palm.

The result was the same; the phantom figure retreated several hundred meters before charging again after a brief pause.

“Hmm?!” Billy frowned again.

“Honey, let me try!” Harleen said as she drew her feather sword from her storage ring and slashed at the phantom figure with a sword light.

The sword light passed through the phantom figure, which then disappeared instantly.

“Interesting!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It was clear that in this Realm of Swords and Blades, only swords and blades were effective.

They continued forward.

Soon after, seven or eight phantom figures charged at them from ahead, each wielding a phantom sword.

With their previous experience, these seven or eight figures posed no challenge. After a flurry of cold light, they all vanished.

Over the next period, similar phenomena occurred seven or eight times in total.

The phantom figures wielded both swords and blades, and their combat power increased each time. The last wave had combat power equivalent to mid-stage Entering Emptiness Realm warriors.

After advancing for another half an hour or so, another phantom figure appeared ahead. It wielded a sharp sword that emitted a fierce cold light as it shot towards them.

Judging by its attack, its combat power was comparable to ninth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm warriors.

Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly as he formed Heavenly Fury Slash with his Bloodshadow Fury Blade to meet the attack.

A loud crash echoed as the phantom figure was blasted back a thousand meters but didn’t disappear. After pausing briefly, it charged again.

“Interesting!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Honey, try using Phantom Sword Technique!”

His earlier slash could have killed a first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent but had no effect on this phantom figure. Clearly, his method was wrong.

“Alright!” Harleen responded as she formed Phantom Sword Technique with her feather sword and slashed at the figure.
