Chapter 623 - Against Alton - Part 3 (1/2)

The Crimson Flame Swords turned into a golden flame, and in the next second, Alton appeared in front of Tang Shaoyang. The concept was similar to blink, so Tang Shaoyang did not see it coming.

Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He activated his [Chaos Fire]. The black flame discharged from his palm, swirling into his battle-ax. At the same time, he channeled his Slayer Energy into his battle-ax as well. He then brought his battle-ax upward, clashing against Alton's golden flame sword.

Boom!

The golden flame and the black flame clashed. The two different fires collided and spread out. At the same time, a figure was pushed back from the fire. Alton looked at the collision between the two fires in shock. He did not think that he would be forced back with that clash.. He was sure that the young man was caught unprepared with his attack, but he still lost from the clash even after that.

'So he is testing me.' Alton squinted his eyes. This was the weird fight he had for years as he felt his opponent was getting stronger and stronger each time he tried to do something. ”Let's try it once again.”

”Pyrolis Sword Technique: Fourth Blazing Sword, Blooming Flame!” Hundreds of golden flame swords formed around the explosion, creating a blooming flower with all the tip swords aimed at the explosion. Alton then slashed his sword downward, then the hundreds of golden flame swords moved into the core of the explosion, where Tang Shaoyang was.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The golden flame swords burst out, creating another stormy flame amidst the explosion. The fire spread wildly, forcing the others to retreat from the battlefield, leaving Tang Shaoyang and Alton alone. Even Allan was forced to retreat under Bronson's pursuit.

Of course, as the two leaders fought, the Beast Coven also attacked Tang Shaoyang's force. The war between the two forces broke out soon after they got separated from the leaders.

Alton stood motionlessly on the spot, staring at the explosion. He hoped his attack did something to Tang Shaoyang. As the flame calmed down, he saw a figure standing in the center of the blazing black flame. He observed the figure and realized that all his attacks were futile. He did not even see a scratch or burned mark on the black scale from all the attacks he launched.

”I see since the skill does not work, what about this one.” Alton rushed toward Tang Shaoyang. He recalled that he won the close combat, so he might as well fight Tang Shaoyang closely.

Tang Shaoyang also realized that even his [Chaos Fire] did not work on Alton. While [Chaos Fire] blocked the golden flame, it could not be used to attack Alton as the golden flame also neutralized his black flame.

Looking at the incoming Alton, Tang Shaoyang swung his battle-ax horizontally as Alton pushed his shield forward. He imbued Slayer Energy in his battle-ax before he swung it toward Alton.

Dang!

Alton's flame shield blocked the attack, but his hand was shaking from the impact. The old knight then used his skill, [Flame Charge], and the fire suddenly blazed and pushed him forward, forcing Tang Shaoyang to retreat.

”I see, it's working.” Alton realized that close combat was truly effective against Tang Shaoyang, and he did not give Tang Shaoyang time to recover as he launched himself forward. He stabbed the flame sword toward Tang Shaoyang's chest.

Instead of blocking or dodging, Tang Shaoyang cast a movement skill, [Volant Step]. He maneuvered in the air, avoiding the stab and bringing the Dragon Destroyer downward toward Alton. Alton did the same; he spun in the air and launched a spinning kick toward Tang Shaoyang's waist. Alton was faster as his kick landed first.

Tang Shaoyang grunted in pain as his body flew to the side. Shortly after that, he regained his footing with [Sky Walk]. By the time he regained his footing, Alton was right in front of him with his sword ready to cut his neck. Tang Shaoyang opened his mouth and activated his skill, [Fire Breath].

He spewed the black flame toward Alton's face. However, Alton expected the counter as his body maneuvered to the side. The [Fire Breath] backfired as he lost sight of Alton. If not for [Spirit Eyes], he would not notice the old knight moved to the side instead of retreating.

Tang Shaoyang pushed his body backward to avoid the sword, but he was a second late. The sword grazed toward his forehead, cutting through the dragon scale. It was not a deep cut, but that was Alton's win. Blood trickled down from his forehead toward his eyes.
