The Story Never Ends

"Stop it. They might die if we keep this going." Daxton signaled them to stop.

"Consider yourself lucky." The two disciples threw Hendrix and Isla to the ground. After falling on the ground, they didn't move at all. They had blood all over their faces and the bandage which wrapped Hendrix had been taken off.

"It looks like they passed out." One of them muttered.

"What do we do now, Senior brother? They managed to stay quiet even after all that beating."

While Daxton was about to answer a loud roar came from the opposite direction. He immediately clutched his ears. The same goes for the other two.

When they looked over, they saw that all the trees were shaking; the birds started chirping and flew away. Only after a while did the roar stopped.

"Isn't that the direction where the elders went?" Daxton looked solemn as his ear still hurt.

"Senior brother, it looks like there is a powerful beast over there. We should get back."

"Ok, let's return to Lilium City and wait for the elders. That roar was too loud and dangerous. It's not something we can handle." Daxton agreed.

"But what about these two, Senior brother?"

"Tie them up and bring them back. Our elders will interrogate them there." Daxton immediately came up with a decision.

"Yes, Senior Brother." When they were about to tie them up a calm voice came from the top.

"I finally found them."

The Blood Saber Sect disciples looked where the voice came from and saw a person in a black robe who was wearing a red mask on the top of a tree.

Seeing him, Daxton asked, "Who are you?"

***

On the other side, the three elders and Edgar backed away and came out from the range of the Dark Domain.

"It will get dangerous if we fight inside that Domain. Even though it doesn't affect us much, not having a good vision in a battle could get problematic."

"So, what should be done?" Edgar felt very scared. As he was the only one with the low cultivation here. He knew that he was no match for that lion.

"I heard that summoning creatures from another plane will consume your Qi."

"What you mean is that we should buy some time?"

"Yes, Thaddeus indeed summoned a devil commander. Even though it is very strong, it has a great disadvantage. His Qi will be consumed faster than ever."

"So, we just need to fight from a safe distance and keep him trapped here. It will be troublesome if he tries to run away. We might not be able to catch it."

"It's time to go all out."

Everyone nodded and they started burning their whole blood. Earlier, they only burned some part of it to get vision inside the dark field. But now, they had to go all out.

A blood-colored aura came out of their body. This time it was far greater than the previous one. The aura started affecting the surroundings. The ground below them started cracking and they sank a meter down into the ground. Not only that but huge shockwaves were released from their bodies. This looked far more imposing than the time when Daxton used his secret art.

Feeling these auras, the Devil Lion looked solemn, "Thaddeus, it looks like you are in great trouble."

"Yes." Thaddeus sighed.

"It looks like you still have not improved after such a long time." The Lion mocked.

"Damn, don't make fun of me." Thaddeus felt embarrassed.

"I'm not ridiculing you. This means that I can only remain here for at least 10 mins. But looking at these auras, we cannot defeat them in this interval." The lion didn't seem like it was joking.

"So, what do you want me to do here? I might be able to take you out from here."

"My disciples are behind me. So, let's focus on the weakest once over there and try to break away from there." Thaddeus said while pointing his finger towards Edgar.

He took back his Dark Domain and jumped on the top of the Lion. The Lion immediately rushed towards Edgar.

"F**k"

"Elders help me, they are coming towards me." Edgar got anxious and used the final move of his Blood Saber Art.

He gathered his whole Qi gathered towards the Saber and swung it with full force towards the Lion.

"Hehe, you want to stop me with this puny move?" The Lion laughed and moved his right claw towards the saber. The saber struck the claw, but it couldn't move any further and stopped. Only a small scratch was seen on the claw. From this, you could see how strong the body of the devil was.

"Breath of Corrosion"

The Lion opened his mouth and a dark breath came out of it. The breath covered Edgar. He wanted to use his Qi to protect his body but that breath was too strong. His skin started to corrode and his face became pale.

When he thought that he was about to die here, one of the elders who had already reached near him, pulled him out of the breath.

"Good job kid, you managed to buy us some time. Just watch from the side, we will handle this from here."

Due to the intervention of Edgar, the three elders managed to catch up with the Lion.
