Chapter 203 - Difficult Battle
A thick column of blood-colored flames crashed down from the sky retracting the attention of everyone away from the fierce battle back to him.
"Damn, he is also sneaking on us."
"They are both shameless."
The Nascent Soul stage warriors immediately began running away knowing the difference in their strengths. As for the Domain Realm warriors, they responded with their own moves.
The ones belonging to the Golden Lion Tribe slashed with their own weapons towards him. Many beams of golden flames rushed straight into the sky colliding head-on with Davion's pillar of flames.
"BOOM"
A huge explosion took place changing the colors of the sky as a result.
"Brat, you can't hide there." Andreas soared above while being surrounded by icy cold Qi. This Qi protected him from the strong heat waves still lingering in the air.
In this way, he appeared ahead of Davion in a couple of seconds and thrust his spear straight to his heart trying to kill him in a single blow.
"Did you think that it would be this easy?" Davion accurately deflected the spear with a flick of his sword and punched towards his face using his other hand lit up with flames.
Feeling the danger, Andreas let go of his spear and covered his face by crossing his hands.
"Bang"
He was hurled a few hundred meters away and his hands caught fire too. Nonetheless, he managed to remain unscathed by mobilizing his icy Qi.
Next, Davion was about to chase after him, but he was interrupted as he sensed three people approaching him from the back. So, he had to let him go for the time being.
"Breathe of Venom" With this female voice, the atmosphere turned green and the air he was breathing felt poisonous. Moreover, it had a similar effect to his dark energy as his skin was steadily losing its vitality.
"It's interesting. A bit powerful than my dark energy. However, this is it." He smiled. After all, who knows how long will it take to wear out his heavenly body at this rate?
"Nonetheless, I should catch get out and catch this bitch." Using Thunder Step, he got out of the miasma in a jiffy and set his sights on Carolina who was hiding behind one of the buildings.
"Wise choice. It seems like she knows the difference in our power." He dashed down to finish her off. But he found that he couldn't move all of sudden.
"Damn." That miasma who knows when had turned ethereal into the shape of a snake's tail and had wrapped around his right foot.
Furthermore, taking this opportunity, Naomi and Logan appeared in his vision. Not only that, but they were using some type of art to replicate themselves. He saw six of them approaching him from all directions with their daggers.
"Haiz, fighting all these Domain Realm experts at once is not an easy feat." He sighed and created a domain.
"Hush"
Flame particles from the surroundings gathered around him rapidly destroying the miasma and forcing the merchants to back away and release their domains too.
Their domain was of dark element and it coalesced slowly. This was because the dark elementary particles around here were too thin. Mainly due to the sun shining brightly in the sky and Hector and Siena using their powerful flames to battle.
In addition, all the Domain Realm warriors from the Golden Lion Tribe were also at fault at this. When they saw Davion creating his Domain, they were forced to make their own. This resulted in the elementary flame particles here getting highly concentrated while hardly suppressing the other ones.
"My God! Run. They will finish off the whole city." The surviving people in the city finally couldn't bear it. Everyone left their homes and started evacuating the city. They knew that this city was going to be completely torn apart.
Moreover, the aura of heavens and earth was getting abnormally chaotic here making it hard for weaker beings to survive. So, they had no choice rather than to leave. This was also why experts at the top of the food chain rarely fought against each other.

"Clang…clang…"
The swords of Siena and Hector continued clashing at a speed that was impossible to be tracked by the naked eyes. Only golden and white light could be observed moving.
Suddenly, the white light turned red exploding with an even greater force slamming the golden light deep into the ground.
"BOOM"
Dust and debris scattered everywhere but they would instantly get burnt and disappear into thin air due to the terrifyingly high temperature of the flame domain.
The red light then hovered above the hole revealing Siena in a perfect state with a translucent set of red armor covering her whole body.
"So, this is your fairy artifact." A deep voice was heard from the hole and Hector jumped out from it.
Currently, he had blood all over his robes and a few cuts could be seen on his chest. Nevertheless, the injury didn't look so serious as he was standing straight while licking the blood on his lips.
"Humph! Now that you have seen it, you know that you have no chance to win against me. Just give up and leave with your troop." She declared.
"Haha! You are acting quite arrogantly. If not for that artifact you would have been in the same condition as me. Who knows if even worse?" He loudly laughed causing her to narrow her eyebrows.
However, she didn't retort him meaning that she agreed with it. Her fairy artifact protected her twenty-four hours a day despite not needing to channel her soul Qi. That's why she had remained unharmed till now. But it had a certain limit to it which Hector managed to eventually perceive in the end.
"Seeing your expression, it appears to be true. Besides, you are infusing your Qi into the artifact at the moment. Did it reach the limit? Or are you worried about him and trying to end this battle as fast as you can so that you can assist him at once?" Hector gazed at Davion who was in the sky.
Although Davion was strong inside his Domain, he was being besieged by at least twenty-five Domain Realm experts who had all revealed their domains. Even he himself was not sure he could get out of there alive. The same went for Siena.
He then withdrew his sight back to Siena and smirked. "You are not speaking a single word. Was everything I said true?"
"Shut up!" She vanished from her spot and appeared infront of him in the blink of an eye. Next, without any hesitation, she slashed at her neck.
"Fuck. She has become twice as fast." He cursed inwardly and tilted his neck backward barely avoiding his death. But this was not the end as powerful sword Qi shot instantaneously from the tip of the sword.
"You.." He cried out and transformed into his beast form. He became a hundred-feet tall which caused the sword Qi to miss his head and hit his abdomen instead. In such a manner, he narrowly dodged his death twice in a fraction of a second.
Despite this, he still suffered a deep wound from where blood spilled like a fountain.
"Puchi-"
He was pushed fifty meters back and fell on his one-knee as well. He finally suffered a serious injury.
"This is not over yet." She flapped her wings propelling her forward increasing her speed even more.
"Woman, do you think that I will lose against a mere fairy artifact? I will definitely kill you." He bellowed in anger and burned his essence blood.
This was the ultimate technique of all demon beasts that they only used when they were on the brink of death. After all, it burns away their future potential and regresses their cultivation base.
Nonetheless, this was not a big problem for Hector as there were many ways to cure these after-effects. Among them, consuming rare materials of heavens and earth that nourish and stimulate one's blood was one of the most commonly used methods. Moreover, the other easier and better way was to ask for help from a Venerable Expert of his tribe. Specifically, a few drops of their blood would suffice him.
Hence, due to all these reasons, he went all out without any distress. His size again increased reaching the height of two hundred feet tall while benefiting his Domain to increase its size by at least one-third of the previous one.
"Dammit. He has gone berserk." Siena had a solemn look behind her veil. Although she was still confident of fighting him head-on, she would run out of gas soon. The Qi consumption rate of a fairy artifact was brutal.
"Anyways, he would also not last for long. This is going to be a battle of attrition." While she was lost in her thoughts, she abruptly felt a dangerous aura approaching her direction.
Her body instinctively moved to the right allowing her to see what had passed by. It was a sword Qi that had managed to create a deep crevice on the ground that ran straight through a mile.
"This strength…" She felt a bit terrified even before the real fight had started.
