A few minutes earlier…

“What happened here?” Three exceedingly large figures appeared near the fort.

The sect leaders were beyond shock when they returned to the vicinity of the fort they saw more than 20 lifeless carcasses around them. They even saw a few bodies along the way. It seemed like there was a massacre that happened here!

“None of our guards were weak! How could it be that they were slaughtered by a Spirit Gathering Realm?!” A sect leader who saw all his henchmen lying on the ground was truly enraged.

“Calm down, Schoolmaster Dotts. Although Dylan Ford is stronger than most people because of the Ancestor’s inheritance, there is no way that he could have killed all of our henchmen alone. His protection squad must have followed him and helped him eradicate our troops.” The glasses wearing sect leader logically deduced.

“Clan Head Nicolas is right. There is no way he would have that much strength! I can see footprints of at least 25 people to that direction! They must have performed a pursuit on Dylan Ford! We must make haste! Otherwise, we might not be able to see what is left of our people!” Angus was a very decisive leader. He was able to quickly make arrangements on what they are supposed to do.

…

Back to the present…

The sect leaders were able to intercept the route by which Dylan and their men were going because of the enhanced Spiritual Sense that the demon warrior gave them.

“Dylan Ford… singlehandedly killed half of our troops?” They were shocked to find out that Dylan was actually alone while he escaped from the hands of the henchmen group! They couldn’t believe what they were seeing but reality has proven it otherwise!

“He and that little demon dog are actually both inexplicable monsters!” A man with a thick beard spoke heavily.

“He is not as strong as the demonic mutt. He is severely injured and it seems like he can’t use that much spirit energy anymore! We can kill him with a single swing! Let’s hurry or else, the protection squad might arrive!” A spiky haired sect leader hurriedly stated.

As he said those words, Dylan suddenly stopped jumping from tree to tree which greatly shocked the sect leaders. He turned around smiling and uttered some words. Subsequently, nine shadows appeared behind him and attacked the shocked pursuers!

The spiky haired sect leader looked dismal. He had just jinxed his own men to oblivion! When he turned around, he could see cold stares from his fellow leaders. He could only shut up in embarassment.

“There is no use crying over spilled milk. With the current strength of the warriors, two can distract the protection units while the last one goes for the kill! My group’s and Schoolmaster Dotts’ group will square off with the protection squad and attempt to stall them while Sir Angus’ group will be the ones to slay Dylan Ford.” Nicholas calmly said and created a strategy for them to execute.

“Got it.” Dotts and Angus nodded because they knew that this could only be the possible method they could use right now as their demon warriors are barely being maintained.

…

In a flash, the twenty or so men were quickly reduced to ten and from ten to none! The disparity in strength was just simply too large!

“Sir Dylan, we have eliminated your pursuers at last!” The captain of the Ford Protection Squad reported to Dylan. However, Dylan did not respond to them. He was blankly staring in one direction.

The very next moment Dylan roared as his body was engulfed with lightning and moved at extreme speeds, “Where is Rian?!”

When they traced his line of sight, they saw two large three-headed four-armed demons heading their way!

Though shocked, the captain immediately composed himself and ordered his dazed squad members. “Men, evade!”

“Yes, sir!” His voice awoke the others. After regaining clarity, they complied with their captain’s command and retreated from the upcoming attack.

*Boom*

The two large demons slashed the trees in front of them which fell to the direction of the Ford Protection Squad! They jumped as soon as the trees were chopped. The trees were the first to fall creating a large banging sound!

*Kaboom*

The members of the FPS were able to evade the falling trees but suddenly the moonlight was obstructed by a large object. It was the two demon warriors which jumped a second ago. Both smashed their swords to the ground which created an even greater explosion!

When the dust settled, there were two large craters that were formed. The members of the Ford Protection Squad was also able to survive the attack but it still incurred considerable damage to some of them.

The two demon warriors stood up and prepared their weapons. They were surveying their surroundings for the whereabouts of their enemies.

“Regroup!” An encouraging voice was heard. The origin of the voice was of course the captain. Quickly, the members regrouped to the location of their captain.

“Attack Formation H!” The captain called as soon as they gathered. The members wordlessly responded with swiftness. They formed two rows with the captain at the middle connecting the two rows which formed a letter H!

After the formation was formed, they sprinted towards the demon warriors in a synchronized manner! The demon warriors sensed their movements and also charged to their direction

‘Aim for the limbs! They must have already fought a battle considering that there are only 4 arms on each of them. So, we will only to srike then where it hurts! Don’t fear attacking them because once they are in this form, they cannot use their avatars! Attack!’ The captain telepathized to the others. The captian of the squad was quite knowledgeable so he was able to recognize the formation their opponents used as well as its’ weakness and strengths.

When they were about 5 meters away from the demon warriors, the two members of the FPS jumped and summoned their avatars. Their avatars were both bows. Thus, they were really suitable with attacking at far away places.

“Shooting Star!”

“Spiral Falcon Arrow!”

The two attacks were too quick to block. Even when the two demon warriors raising up their guard, the two arrows hit the chest of their targets! The attacks forced the two demon warriors to stop in their adavnce.

The rest of the members of the Ford Protection still continued with their approach. Now, they were only two meters away from the demon warriors. The next two members at the front suddenly increased their speeds and dashed forward.

They moved past the demon warriors which confused the sect leaders. They then stopped after they distanced about a meter away from the demon warriors. Both leaped to a respective demon warrior and attacked them from behind with their beast type avatars.

The archers way back continued to attack them at the front. These two constant attacks forced the demon warriors to take the defensive.

The remaining four members sprinted forwards and released their avatars which were two sledgehammers, an axe and a spike mace. They ran in pairs and went to a demon warrior each.

“Hughhhraaahhhh!” They swung their heavy weapons as they used their individual Battle Techniques and aimed at the demons’ lower extremeties. They were apparently the heavy hitters of the team.

Being hit with each limb, the two demon warriors fell on the ground. Finally, the captain moved and attacked the demon.

“Tiger King’s Slash!” Using his longsword, he slashed horizontally, aiming at one demon warrior’s arm. and a tiger roar could be heard along with the slash. His Black Tiger avatar was also called and attacked the other demon warrior!

*Boom!*

The captain’s attack was very successful. He was able to destroy an arm for each demon warrior. The explosion came from the forced cancellation of the formation.

From the two demon warriors, a dozen men appeared. They were all pale white from vomitting blood. The decimation of the demon warriors carried a backlash which quickly took effect. The rebound involved complete reduction in energy reserves and weakness of the body.

“Give up or die.” The captain domineeringly said as he pointed his longsword to the weakened sect leaders.

“Wait, please spare me! We were only forced into this by Gayolei Panther!” A leader conceded in the face of death

“He-he’s right! Don’t kill me!” Another cowardly sect leader surrendered and even kowtowed. In the face of death, dignity no longer matters.

After the two of them, a few more surrendered. They were all restrained with Energy Sealing Handcuffs. They were not killed since the captain thought that it would be best to keep them captive and interrogate them later on with Dylan.

Despite that, there were still a minority of the group who was unyielding.

“Hahaha, you may have defeated us but Dylan Ford will be killed by our leader! He has another group of people who form another demon warrior! We were only a diversion!” The thick bearded sect leader evilly grinned. He was an avid supporter of Gayolei and trudted that he would keep his word of giving riches to his clan.

“What?!” The captain was shocked he thought that there was only two demon warriors. He never would have thought there was actually three!

*BOOOOOOM!*

Suddenly, a large explosion was heard! A bright white light filled with lightning sparks enveloped the entire forest!

“Oh no! Sir Dylan is in danger!” He cried out in alarm while the explosion also affected them.

…

Several moments back…

“Where is Rian?!” Dylan used Zooming Thunder and increased his speed to attack the demon warrior which was controlled by Angus and his group.

The demon warrior did not emit any sound. It was evident that it did not have any intention of answering Dylan’s question. He quickly used one of its sword and slash down!

“Answer me!” Dylan activated Wings of Lightning and exponentially increased his speed! With a simple adjustment on his path, he gracefully evade the attack!

Though Dylan maybe enraged, he was also able to remain calm at the same time. He was still clear-headed and was able to appropriately use his techniques as the situation differs.

“He is too fast!” Angus was shocked when he saw how Dylan increased his speed by several notches. He quickly manipulated the demon warrior with the help of his group and launched another attack. This time, he used two hands and stabbed his swords forth!

“Hpmh!” Dylan quickly jumped almost ten meters in the air to evade the attack. He flipped his body and angled it downwards to dive down.

“If you won’t talk, then I will force it out directly from your mouth!” Dylan angrily roared.

At the same time, his body shone as lightning was inceasantly exuded out of his body! He gestures a grabbing movement with his right arm and rested it near his right bossom. Another batch of lightning suddenly emerged on his palms and was slowly accumulating and building up strength as the lightning was compressed! With lightning wings on his back and a demon beneath him, he looked like a Thunder God passing judgement to a demon!

The demon warrior on the ground prepared for the attack. All six controllers had grim expressions on their faces. They initially thought that Dylan was vastly weaker than Rian but it seems like they underestimated him. The pressure emitted by the Heaven Rank Technique was makingnit harder for tyem to breath.

“Die!!” So, they also decided to launch and all out attack with the four swords at their hands and supplied the Demon Warrior with more Origin Energy! The demon warrior started to become more vibrant and emitted a nefarious air. His blades emitted great Origin Energy and It really looked like a true demon now!

“Ligtning Breaker Piercing Blade!” This move was a combination technique of three techniques! Yes, it was three techniques that were simultaneously stacked on one another! The techniques that Dylan used to create this technique was the Piercing Thunder, Thunder Break and Lightning Blade! An attack which had destructive, penetation and explosive powers combined to an awesome degree!

However, this attack would require at least 50% of his current reserves and drain all of the remaining energy within Dylan’s body. Be it spirit energy or bodily energy, all would be drained in order to perform this devastating attack. After which, he could no longer move his body for an entire day!

This was the strongest trump card Dylan could pull off with his current strength but with it he could muster an attack that was already comparable to an all out attack of a 31st level Palace Formation Expert!

The next moment, the two extremely strong attacks met and a large explosion was the only thing that was heard next.

*BOOOOOOM!*
