The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 369 Unwelcome Guests!

Chapter 369 Unwelcome Guests!

"Hmm?!" Thom Holmes's pupils slightly contracted. He could clearly feel that Azure Dragon's strike was far more powerful than his previous moves. Without much thought, he used all his strength to send out dozens of airwaves, attempting to block the opponent's attack. However, he clearly underestimated Azure Dragon's combat power.

After the blade's energy passed, the long spear was cut into two pieces. The front half fell to the ground, and the blade's momentum did not diminish as it went straight through his chest.

Thom's face instantly froze, and he was forced back about ten steps. His aura deflated like a punctured balloon.

"..." He opened his mouth but failed to utter a word. A bloodstain appeared on his chest, and blood spurted out. Immediately afterward, he fell straight backward, his legs losing their strength.

"Thom!"

Avery Holmes cried out in pain, quickly rushing to Thom's side, trying to help, but it seemed hopeless.

"You rascal, you killed him?!" He glared at Azure Dragon with bloodshot eyes.

"If you have any objections, you can also make a move. I'll be happy to accompany you!" Azure Dragon replied calmly.

"Kimmons, you forced me into this!" Avery Holmes took a deep breath and then raised his hand, shouting, "Kill them!"

All the core members of the Holmes clan rushed out, their auras fully released, instantly lowering the temperature in the surrounding air to freezing levels. The overall strength of the Holmes clan was slightly superior to the Frazier clan. Among around eighty people present, fifteen were at the Warlord level or higher, with three to four dozen Battle Gods. The strongest among them was the clan leader, Avery Holmes, who was at the peak of the War Grandmaster stage.

"Attack!" Casey said in a low voice and drew his sword, leading the charge. Azure Dragon and his team followed closely behind.

The two hundred Bloodshadow Army soldiers shouted in unison, brandishing their swords. Both sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, and the sound of intense clashes filled the scene.

"I've heard that Commander Kimmons achieved War Grandmaster-level strength at such a young age. Please enlighten me!" Avery intercepted Casey.

"Very well!" Casey's eyes narrowed, not wasting any more words. He raised his hand and struck.

He had already reached the pinnacle of War Grandmaster, and though he was one level lower than his opponent, he had no fear, especially with his blade in hand. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Avery Holmes also wielded a three-meter-long spear. As he flicked his wrists, over a dozen powerful airwaves surged toward Casey. In no time, the two began to exchange blows, and their powerful auras caused the airwaves to rage, leaving deep marks on the nearby trees. In less than two minutes, they had fought for more than a dozen rounds, and judging by their auras, it was an even match.

"I didn't expect you to challenge me across levels. You've surprised me!" After another intense ten minutes of battle, Avery spoke up.

"You'll be even more surprised!" Casey replied, blocking his attack with a swipe of his blade.

"Is that so?" Avery spoke again, "In that case, let me see your trump card!"

Boom!

After saying that, his aura rose once more, and a violent aura enveloped him. Thunder crackled around his long spear, and a murderous intent filled the air. Following that, he rushed forward, his long spear trembling. It seemed like he and the spear were one entity, and they approached Casey with a terrifying aura.

"As you wish!" Casey replied sternly, activating his Bloodshadow Blade Technique with full force and slashing out.

The piercing sound of wind resounded, and the curved blade's energy tore through Avery's attack like a force of nature.

"Hmm?" Avery watched as the blade energy continued unabated and his pupils contracted. Without time to think, he quickly retreated and tried to block the attack.

Just at that moment, a powerful wave of energy came rushing from the side, immediately dissolving Casey's attack and sending Avery Holmes flying to the ground. Casey was also pushed back several large steps, and his blood surged in his chest.

"Hmm?" Casey turned to look at the two elderly men who had just arrived from the side, his pupils slightly shrinking. From them, he sensed the aura of Half-Step War Emperors.

Here came two unwelcome guests!

"This is the capital city. You don't have the right to be so presumptuous, Army of Bloodshadow!" one of the thin old men said sternly.

"If you don't leave with your people now, all of you will die!"

Casey suppressed the boiling blood in his heart and looked at the two men. "If I'm not mistaken, you're not from the Holmes clan, are you?"

Before taking action, he had roughly investigated the Holmes clan members present. It was impossible for them to have such high-level experts, so they were obviously from the other two clans. The three clans left in the capital city had already understood the principle of 'one loses, all lose' and had formed an alliance, knowing that if the Holmes clan was in trouble, they would not sit idly by.

"No more nonsense. You have one minute. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite." The other elderly man's eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"Both of you better pray you make it out of here alive today!" Casey's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Don't think just because you're the commander of the eastern region, we won't dare to kill you!" the lean elder retorted coldly.

"You two, stop wasting your breath on him. If we delay any longer, that person might arrive." Avery Holmes spoke as he got up from the ground. He was well aware that Billy was in the capital and had taken his younger brother to Central Sky Office. Originally, he had intended to lead a group to Central Sky Office, but before they could depart, he received the news that Casey and his group had surrounded his estate. He realized that his younger brother's life was in grave danger. Besides, he understood that the situation had escalated beyond the point of rescuing just one or two individuals. It had become a matter of ensuring that the Holmes clan could disentangle itself from the Night Orchid incident. Therefore, he did not insist on going to Central Sky Office. Furthermore, he knew that even if he went there, it might be futile. Since Billy personally captured his younger brother, rescuing him from Billy would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

"Let's get on with it!" the lean elder said to the other elder. "We'll strike together, swift and decisive."

"Agreed!" the other elder nodded.
