Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Come here!” The white-robed man didn’t respond to Purple Spirit’s words. He reached out towards her, causing the space around them to distort.

However, he seemed to have underestimated Purple Spirit’s teleportation speed. Before he could act, she had already flashed to the other side.

“Quick reflexes!” the white-robed man exclaimed. “Then lie down first!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and sent a barrage of marks towards Purple Spirit.

“You? Not even close!” Purple Spirit dodged swiftly, avoiding a direct confrontation.

While evading, she shouted to Harleen, “Harleen, go tell Brother Casey and the others not to engage in battle and to leave here immediately!”

“What a joke. Do you think you can escape today?” the white-robed man sneered.

“Purple Spirit, how is Billy?” Harleen asked loudly after a brief pause.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Billy is not in immediate danger, but his powers are sealed and can’t be unbound for now,” Purple Spirit responded loudly. “Go find Stout and get everyone out of here before it’s too late!”

“Okay! Be careful!” Harleen hesitated for a moment as if remembering something, then quickly dashed towards Casey and the others.

“Without my permission, you’re not going anywhere!” the white-robed man said as he chased after her.

“Old man, your opponent is me!” Purple Spirit charged at him again.

Unity of man and sword!

“So eager to die? I’ll take you first!” The elder said in a deep voice, waving his hand towards Purple Spirit. A spatial cage immediately enveloped the purple sword.

Unexpectedly, the purple sword pierced through the spatial cage, turning it into nothingness.

“Impressive!” The elder frowned slightly and sent another mark flying.

After a loud explosion, Purple Spirit was blasted several hundred meters away, her aura significantly weakened. After all, her opponent was at the second rank of the Breaking Emptiness Realm, making it difficult for her to contend even at full strength.

“I’m very interested in you. From today on, follow me!” the white-robed man said as he charged towards Purple Spirit again.

“Let’s see if you have the strength to catch me!” Purple Spirit said as she darted to the side.

While they were engaged in their chase, Harleen had already reached Casey and the others. She formed a Phantom Sword Technique with her hand and thrust it towards Perry Norton.

“Perfect timing, I’ll kill you first!” Perry Norton roared angrily, sweeping his palm to block the sword attack.

Under the impact of the energy wave, Harleen was thrown back three or four hundred meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Harleen!” everyone shouted.

The situation for everyone was dire; each person was heavily injured. Judge, Soul Chaser, and Alex Long were lying on the ground, completely incapacitated and on the brink of death. Night Orchid and Frostblade were barely able to stand, their combat strength less than thirty percent.

“Opal, Mr. Kimmons, don’t engage in battle. We are no match for them. Leave here immediately!” Harleen stabilized herself and shouted towards Stout, “Stout, Array Talisman!”

“Hmm?” Hearing her call, Casey and the others remembered this as well.

“How naive! None of you will leave alive today!” Perry Norton sneered.

“Old man, I promise you that after today, there will be no more Norton family in Azure Abyss City!” Stout shouted after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Stop talking nonsense and leave now!” Ivy shouted.

“Alright!” Stout responded loudly.

He then took out an Array Talisman from his storage ring and infused it with spiritual power while chanting a few words. This was one of the three Array Talismans given by Jasper Muir!

Activating the Array Talisman instantly set up a formation! A few days ago, they had wondered when they would use these talismans; little did they know it would be so soon!

In the next moment, Perry Norton and his men felt their surroundings change drastically. They found themselves in an unfamiliar environment with thick fog all around, visibility less than a hundred meters. Spiritual power was also severely obstructed in this place.

“What’s happening?” someone shouted in panic within the fog.

“An array!” someone replied.

“Come out!” Perry Norton roared angrily. He had come with the intent to kill Harleen and the others. Billy had killed many members of his Norton family; he wanted Billy to experience the pain of losing loved ones. He estimated that as long as Billy’s powers were sealed, the others would be like ants before him. He hadn’t killed them outright earlier because Casey’s group had posed some resistance. Moreover, he hadn’t planned to kill them quickly; he wanted to torture them slowly. But he hadn’t expected Stout to have such a life-saving trump card, which infuriated him.

Due to the low visibility and obstructed spiritual power, he couldn’t see Casey and the others or sense their presence. Enraged, Perry Norton sent dozens of violent energy blasts in all directions. Several members of the Norton family were caught off guard and were blown away, falling to the ground lifelessly.

“Who understands arrays?!” Perry Norton shouted angrily after a while. But no one answered him. Just as his voice trailed off, rows of dense arrows shot down from above like a storm. “Damn it…” Perry Norton roared furiously, nearly going berserk as he sent violent energy blasts towards the arrows. These arrows could only contend with early-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm combat strength and posed no significant threat to him. However, those below Perfection Emptiness Realm weren’t so lucky; many were turned into sieves by the arrows and fell dead instantly.

Not only was Perry Norton enraged, but the white-robed man not far away was also fuming. He had been chasing Purple Spirit all this time; her combat strength wasn’t much weaker than his. Coupled with her teleportation speed far exceeding that of others at her level, he had barely managed to close the distance between them to six or seven hundred meters after a long chase. Just as he was about to launch a full-scale attack, the array activated, causing him to lose track of Purple Spirit. He knew it was due to the array but had only a superficial understanding of arrays and couldn’t break one of this level. Like Perry Norton, he charged around aimlessly in the fog like a headless chicken.

While Perry Norton and his men were being led in circles by the array, Billy and Harleen’s group had already left the scene and were heading towards a distant forest.
