The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 221 Four Dead And One Injured

Chapter 221 Four Dead and One Injured

"Today, we will teach you how to be a qualified Commander on behalf of the Central Sky Department!" The Leonard Clan's old man shouted loudly and took the lead in launching an attack.

The other four didn't hesitate either, quickly following suit.

Five Half-Step War Grandmasters, each attacking from a different direction, unleashed their full power, aiming to cut down Casey in one fell swoop.

"Casey, be careful!" Night Orchid's face revealed a hint of worry.

"Don't worry!" Azure Dragon's lips curved into a smile. "Boss anticipated the possibility of other clans interfering in this matter. He still sent only Casey to deal with it. That means these old coots won't be able to hurt him!"

"But..." Night Orchid still seemed somewhat concerned. In her view, while Casey had a higher cultivation level than the five opponents, they were still five individuals. Moreover, they were all Half- step Grandmasters, and under their combined assault, it was hard to predict who would come out on top.

"Orchid, rest assured. I promise everything will be fine!" Azure Dragon calmly interrupted her.

At the same time, in the forest on the right side, two elderly men stood on a small hill, their gazes fixed on the direction of the courtyard's entrance. They stood motionless, blending seamlessly with their surroundings, emitting no fluctuations of energy. Even War Grandmaster-level experts would find it difficult to sense their presence.

"You really won't intervene? Aren't you worried that Casey might be killed by them?" One of them turned to the other and spoke.

"Rest assured!" The other responded.

"We came here today to prevent some secluded old freaks from meddling in this matter. Insects below the War Grandmaster level wouldn't be able to harm Casey!"

"Do you have so much confidence in Casey?"

"Heh, that's because you don't understand Casey and that kid, Billy," the old man replied.

"What do you mean?"

"First, Casey is stronger than you think. Don't underestimate him just because he's only an initial- stage War Grandmaster. Even against an opponent at the early War Grandmaster level, he isn't afraid!"

"Second, do you think Billy wouldn't have anticipated that other clans might intervene? Yet he still sent Casey alone, so he knows Casey won't be harmed!"

"I hope your speculation is correct. Otherwise, I won't let this go. It was already quite a task to find a Commander for the east region. If anything happens, you'll go there in person."

"Alright!" The old man chuckled lightly.

As the two spoke, at the courtyard entrance, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Casey's mouth. Then he shouted loudly, "Attempting to assassinate Commander Gardner is a capital crime, death penalty!"

"You shameless brat, it's you who should die!" The voice of one of the Leonard Clan's old men resounded.

In the next moment, the palm strikes of the five elderly men had already reached Casey, a fierce gust of wind accompanied their attacks.

"Die!" A hint of fervor flashed in Casey's eyes as he roared.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he twisted his wrist continuously, countless afterimages of his blade converging into a phantom blade shape, emitting a bone-chilling aura. Following that, the phantom blade shape spun like magic, rapidly rotating toward the strikes of the five men.

Accompanied by the tremendous force that shattered their palm strikes, the phantom blade shape, without losing momentum, left a visibly shocking gash on the bodies of the five attackers. Following that, one of the old men slightly hesitated and then toppled, his upper and lower halves separating, blood spraying wildly.

The other four were sent retreating seven or eight steps, their bodies trembling. A considerable amount of blood surged from their chests, and their auras quickly wilted, their combat strength reduced to less than half.

"How... how is this possible!?" The four of them displayed shock on their faces.

Whoosh!

However, Casey didn't even spare them a glance. He flipped his wrist again and struck once more. Another bone-chilling blade energy surged forth. The four elderly men had no more fighting spirit left. Trembling all over, they rapidly retreated into the forest.

One of them lagged behind slightly, managing to take only a few steps before being cleaved in two by the blade energy, his upper and lower halves falling to the ground.

As Casey's second strike occurred, Azure Dragon also moved. The blade energy of his Bloodshadow Battle Blade rushed toward another elderly man, who was already injured, and while he sensed the killing intent from behind, his strength was far from enough to evade Azure Dragon's attack. The cold light entered his back. Continuing forward for a few more steps due to inertia, the old man suddenly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

After finishing off the Leonard Clan's old man, Casey rapidly moved, chasing after one of the remaining two. Despite the old man's panicked sprint, his speed was greatly reduced due to his injuries. He stood no chance of outrunning Casey. In the blink of an eye, Casey had closed the distance to about twenty to thirty meters. After the blade energy passed, the man's head flew into the air, his face twisted with boundless unwillingness. His body staggered two more steps before collapsing rigidly to the ground.

Five Half-step War Grandmasters, in less than a minute, resulted in four deaths and one injury. The fall of experts of this level, even within the clan's forces, would be a considerable loss.

"How about it? Do you see it now? I told you so, right?" In the forest, the elderly man turned to his companion and smiled faintly.

"Each of Billy's men by his side is a freak just like him!" his companion responded. "Casey's attack just now definitely has the power to challenge opponents a level higher!"

"Heh, you're only realizing this now?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"But, why does that attack of his seem so familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Really? I have no idea," the old man shrugged his shoulders.

"You better be honest with me. What's Casey's background? Does he have some kind of secret?" his companion questioned.

"I wouldn't know!" The old man shrugged his shoulders once again. "If you're that curious, just go and ask that kid Billy!"

Casey had secrets, Azure Dragon and the others had secrets, and even Azure Fang and his groups had their own secrets. Among these nine comrades of Billy, not a single one was an ordinary person. These secrets, perhaps only Billy himself held the key to them.

"That little brat Billy, he actually kept secrets from even us!?"

"Why are you so eager to know other people's secrets?" the old man said.

"Hmm!?" The next moment, Donald's brow furrowed. "That old freak, he's out of seclusion!"

The other elderly man also frowned. "Damn! Does he want the Leonard Clan to be completely wiped out?"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Let's go, don't bother watching anymore. The two of us old fellows haven't moved in a while. It's time to stretch our muscles and bones!"

"No hurry!" The old man shook his head slightly. "Perhaps, there's still more to see!"

"What do you mean?"

"Just a guess on my part, let's wait a bit longer!"
