Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

At this moment, the battle had begun to tilt in favor of Bladesong City, thanks to the significant help from the Alchemists’ Alliance.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed from the sky. The void at the center of the blast collapsed, revealing a massive black hole, destructive and all-consuming. The commotion was naturally caused by Ryder Blade, Clayton Acevedo, and Leon Schmitt.

“Mr. Billy, could there be a soul imprint of the Sect Master in the forbidden area?” Dorian Acevedo glanced toward the sky, a serious expression crossing his face.

Leon Schmitt was an eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert. It was already impressive that Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo had held out this long.

“Sect Master, don’t worry. The Sect Master did leave a soul imprint, and he came out with us!” Billy replied.

“Is that true?” Dorian Acevedo’s eyes lit up.

“Yes!” Billy nodded and continued, “Sect Master, let’s discuss this later. You should heal first. I’ll go help the others.”

With that, he dashed toward Harleen’s group. He wasn’t too worried about Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo. Although the former Sect Master of Blade and Sword Sect only left a soul imprint, he was once a half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm expert. Leon Schmitt’s combat power would have diminished by now. Billy estimated that Leon Schmitt wouldn’t be a match for him.

Just as Billy moved, another deafening explosion erupted in the sky. Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo were flung away like leaves in the wind.

“To have fought me this long, even if you die, it will be worth it!” Leon Schmitt’s voice rang out. Although his cultivation was higher than theirs, fighting both of them wasn’t easy.

Ryder Blade’s sixth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivation, enhanced by his Phantom Blade Technique, allowed him to contend with late seventh-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts. Clayton Acevedo himself was at the late seventh-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm. Thus, Leon Schmitt sustained some injuries during their battle.

“Elder Clayton, how are you?” Ryder Blade ignored Leon Schmitt and turned to Clayton Acevedo.

“I won’t die just yet!” Clayton Acevedo wiped the blood from his mouth. “How about you?”

“I can still fight!” Ryder Blade took a deep breath and responded.

“Haha, what a joke! Do you think you two can still fight me in your current state?” Leon Schmitt sneered.

At that moment, a sigh echoed through the void.

“Who’s there?!” Leon Schmitt was startled, his brow furrowing.

Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo were also taken aback, looking around but seeing no one.

“I am the sinner of Blade and Sword Sect!” An elderly voice sounded again. A phantom appeared before them-it was the soul imprint of the Sect Master from the forbidden area.

“Hmm?!” Seeing him, Leon Schmitt, Ryder Blade, and Clayton Acevedo were all surprised.

“Are you the predecessor of Blade and Sword Sect?” Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo asked simultaneously after a brief pause.

“I failed Blade and Sword Sect!” The phantom elder sighed again.

“I didn’t expect Blade and Sword Sect to have such a trump card. You must be the last Sect Master of Blade and Sword Sect?” Leon Schmitt looked at him solemnly. “But with just a soul imprint, I doubt you can save both sects!”

“Raising a tiger will bring trouble!” The phantom elder looked at Leon Schmitt calmly. “I should have destroyed Yheng Institute before entering the forbidden area!”

“Big words!” Leon Schmitt responded. “That is if you have the strength!”

“I heard from Billy Boy that you’re now the top expert in this star domain?” The phantom elder continued to look at Leon Schmitt. “I’ll give you one chance to strike with all your might. If you can withstand my attack, I’ll let you leave alive. How about that?”

“You seem very confident,” Leon Schmitt’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Make your move!” The phantom elder said again. “Remember, you only have one chance. Give it your all!”

“In that case, let me see what the most talented Sect Master of Blade and Sword Sect has to offer!” Leon Schmitt responded solemnly. As he spoke, his aura surged to its peak, and the pressure in the void skyrocketed.

“What are you two standing there for? Move back!” The phantom elder looked at Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo.

“Predecessor, he’s an eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert. Even though his combat power has diminished…” Ryder Blade responded.

“Eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm-is that very strong?” The phantom elder waved his hand dismissively. “Move back!”

“Be careful!” Ryder Blade said once more before retreating with Clayton Acevedo several thousand meters away.

“Take my palm strike!” At that moment, Leon Schmitt shouted. He raised his hand and struck forward. A massive hand descended from the sky, blocking out the sun. The void beneath it cracked under immense pressure. This was clearly his strongest attack.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm-is this your strongest trump card?” Facing Leon Schmitt’s full-force attack, the phantom elder stood still. Only when the giant hand was two or three hundred meters away did his eyes narrow slightly.

The next moment, the giant hand shattered and disappeared without a trace. Without any visible attack from the phantom elder, Leon Schmitt was suddenly sent flying several thousand meters away before stopping. The oppressive aura in the void vanished as if nothing had happened.

“So… strong…” Leon Schmitt struggled to speak after a while.

As he finished speaking, a line of blood appeared from his head to his waist, splitting his body in two as it fell to the ground. Even in death, he never saw how his opponent attacked. He finally understood the vast difference in their levels-it wasn’t even close!

Seeing this scene, Ryder Blade and Clayton Acevedo gasped simultaneously.

“A mere soul imprint can wield blade spirit to such an extent; the predecessor’s cultivation must have surpassed half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm back then!” Ryder Blade remarked.

“The incident back then hit him hard. After returning, he locked himself in the forbidden area for years of reflection. If he could resolve his resentment smoothly, breaking through that barrier wouldn’t be impossible!” Clayton Acevedo nodded.

“Yes!” Ryder Blade nodded in agreement.

“Don’t just stand there; go check on Billy Boy and the others!” The phantom elder looked at them.

“Understood!” They responded in unison before dashing away.

The battle continued for less than ten minutes before it ended. Not a single member of Yheng Institute survived; they all lay on the ground. With this, Yheng Institute’s high-end combat power was completely annihilated!

Blade and Sword Sect also suffered significant losses-over ten elders and twenty to thirty high-end fighters were lost, along with dozens of severely injured disciples. However, overall, they fared much better than Yheng Institute!

After the battle ended, everyone landed in Sword Sect’s courtyard. Despite his injuries, Stout immediately dragged White Tiger, Judge, and Soul Chaser to collect storage rings.

White Tiger and the others were also seriously injured but couldn’t resist Stout’s persistence. After taking some healing pills, they joined in.

“Thank you, Miss Frost!” After the battle ended, Billy approached Juliana Frost.
