A Demon's Journey

The Dragon Squad and the Tiger Squad were charging towards the Origin Sect Branch. They flew towards the Origin Sect Branch while maintaining their formation.

Soon, they saw a man levitating in the air right ahead of them.

He displayed strong battle intent, and when he stared at these warriors from the Dragon Tiger Palace, he showed an excited grin.

The Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors didn't think much about it. If this warrior interfered with them, then they would make him pay for that.

Otherwise, there was no harm in allowing him to escape alive. These warriors didn't know that the man ahead of them was Azaroth. He looked delighted to see these warriors heading towards him.

'They have no sense of danger.'

After some seconds, a ray of light suddenly shot out behind them. This ray of light quickly expanded to form a wide wall.

This Wide Wall was formed of pure Ardor, and it was empowered by special Ardor Crystals that Azaroth possessed.

Azaroth snapped his finger, and the wide wall expanded to form a cuboid structure around him and the Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors.

From the outside, it would be called a prison.

Azaroth would agree with that statement. This was indeed a prison for these Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors.

However, it was a prison in which all who were trapped inside would die under his hands.

The Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors had barely noticed that colorless barrier that had covered their surroundings.

They would have to pass Azaroth's body to even realize the presence of this barrier.

Purple Flames lit up on Azaroth's palm. He continued to make those flames denser while staring at his adversaries.

The Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors were startled to see Azaroth's hand lit up with Purple Flames. They guessed that he wanted to fight.

However, they removed that thought from their mind. No sane person would try to attack a great of such a large size.

There were more than 210 warriors at the 5 Star Rank, combining the Dragon Squad and the Tiger Squad.

Anyone who witnesses such a lineup would think about escaping rather than remaining behind to fight.

Naturally, the only exception was that the individual was crazy and didn't care about his own life.

An extremely dense sphere of pure Hell Flames was launched at these warriors.

These warriors belonging to the Dragon Squad and Tiger Squad had a rich combat experience. They possessed sharp sixth senses and knew that this was an extremely strong attack.

If this Sphere struck them, they would die.

The warriors leading the respective Dragon Squad and Tiger Squad stopped. The warriors following them halted as well.

The Dragon Squad was currently led by their Vice Leader. Meanwhile, the original leader of the Tiger Squad remained well and fine.

The Vice Leader of the Dragon Squad was inferior to the Tiger Squad's Leader in terms of hierarchy. Thus, he gazed at him and signaled him with his brows.

Their question was incredibly simple. Whether he should take the lead or the Tiger Squad's Leader was going to do so.

The Tiger Squad's Leader waved his hand to the front. He was saying that he could take charge.

A grateful smile appeared on the vice leader's face. He wanted to display his awe-inspiring strength to his subordinates.

Meanwhile, the Tiger Squad's leader internally sneered. He could sense the strong aura from those Purple Hell Flames.

He wanted to test the waters and accurately gauge this technique. Thus, he let this junior take the lead.

The Tiger Squad had been suppressed by the Dragon Squad. This had become an unchanging truth within the Dragon Tiger Palace.

People even speculated that if the Tiger Squad was dissolved, the Dragon Tiger Palace's strength would be unaffected owing to the Dragon Squad's might.

Each leader of the Tiger Squad had worked hard endlessly, but it was for nothing. However, their fate changed after the Dragon Squad's leader fought against the Flood Dragon and disappeared.

It was said he was gravely injured even though it didn't seem like it.

However, that theory was quickly put to rest since it would be more logical to come to the Dragon Tiger Palace and recover using their resources.

There were other theories that he had caught some illness. Or he was spiritually hurt. Or he had some other crucial mission that he could only accomplish alone.

Lastly, there was also a rumor that he had bit the dust during his travels. He was an extremely mysterious individual, and even the Dragon Tiger Palace didn't know much about his past.

But after he had disappeared, the Dragon Squad had begun to get weaker. It was the Tiger Squad's time to rise.

The leader of the Tiger Squad was quite delighted that the Tiger Squad got this chance during his generation.

Anyway, the Vice Leader of the Dragon Squad took a deep breath as he launched, "Water Pulse!"

A strong pressured pulse of water was launched at the Sphere of pure Hell Flames.

The water element suppressed the flame element. All the Dragon Squad members knew that this attack would easily deal with that Hell Flames Sphere.

The Water Pulse soon struck against the Hell Flames Sphere.

Unfortunately, the expected thing didn't occur. Instead, these Flames were so hot that they immediately turned the water to vapors while moving towards these warriors at the same pace.

It didn't seem as if it had been affected by this Water Pulse at all.

When the Tiger Squad's leader witnessed that, he was utterly shocked. He looked down on the Dragon Squad's Vice Leader because he was young in terms of scheming and experience, but his power couldn't be underestimated.

However, what he witnessed forced him to reassess Azaroth.

Azaroth had a thin smile on his face as he saw the shocked look on the warriors ahead of him.

"Time for some fireworks." Azaroth then suddenly clenched his fist while whispering, "Split!"

The Hell Flame Sphere immediately split up into tens of tiny spheres.

After splitting up, these tiny spheres were a lot faster. The entire frontline of the Dragon Squad attacked these Hell Flame Sphere to halt their momentum.

Just like their current leader's attack, it failed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Those tiny Hell Flame Spheres began to explode as they approached the Dragon Squad's members.

The Tiger Squad remained undamaged as they had stayed out of the way. Meanwhile, the frontline of the Dragon Squad warriors had just endured those tens of tiny Hell Flame Spheres.

They had an ugly complexion as they glared at Azaroth. They barely survived by combining their energies and creating a barrier ahead of them.

However, the barrier couldn't block the explosion completely. Some parts of it broke, and they were injured.

Azaroth then suddenly flew forwards as a Saber appeared in his hand.

There was also a light flashing over his Saber. Upon closer look, a small creature could be seen seated on his Saber.

This was none other than his Intent Spirit of the Saber.

It had an emotionless look on its face as it supplied Saber Qi to Azaroth. This was one of the benefits of having conjured an Intent Spirit.

The warrior would no longer have to split his attention to gather and utilize his Qi. Azaroth could focus on utilizing that Qi in the best possible method while his Intent Spirit would be wholly focused on gathering the Saber Qi.

This division of tasks made fights a lot more efficient for a warrior.
