The following statement will remove the bullet from the world if coded and executed from within a non-static method in the class of the bullet:
?
1
getWorld().removeObject(this);

    public void destroyEnemies()

Please copy/paste error messages in their entirety so that we understand what is happening. btw, the 'destroyEnemies' method looks fine; although line 7 is not needed (the 'myWorld' reference is not being used after declared and assigned the world)

It looks like (although I cannot be sure because you have not posted what your 'act' method looks like) you have this in your act method:
?
1
2
destroyEnemies();
if (atWorldEdge()) ...
If the actor is removed from the world in the 'destroyEnemies' method, then the 'getX' call in the 'atWorldEdge' method must fail -- the actor does not have a location in the world, so 'getX' is meaningless. To avoid the error, just make sure the actor is still in the world before calling 'atWorldEdge':
?

if (getWorld() != null && atWorldEdge())
