A Demon's Journey

Noah's Blood-Red Sun Stance struck Roman's knuckles. The Fist Qi and the Gold Qi once again overwhelmed Noah's strength. Noah noticed this and began to redirect the power in another direction.

A few seconds later, Noah slid back while Roman's fist continued to swing and struck the ground. The ground rumbled after it was struck by such a strong attack. Meanwhile, it gave Noah some time to stand on his feet and jump towards Roman.

Noah had noticed that Roman was utilizing his Element while fighting. Thus, it would only be fair if he did the same. The Wind Currents gathered around Noah, and he concentrated them all on his sword.

The invisible wind currents combined with the Sword Qi, empowering it, and making the Sword Qi even sharper. Also, Noah used the strongest sword technique that he knew. It was the Heaven Rending Stance!

When Roman saw Noah heading towards him with that dense aura and the presence of Wind Currents around his sword, even he was a little terrified. But he stood his ground and gathered all his strength in his left foot.

Roman smashed the ground with his left foot, sending great vibrations through the Earth. Roman didn't stop after smashing the ground once. He struck it multiple times, creating a crater around him.

Meanwhile, Noah was beginning to feel an Earthquake. This wasn't a normal Earthquake where the ground shook a little and everything else was all right. It was a high-magnitude Earthquake where the ground ruptured near Noah's position and tried to throw him in a fissure.

Noah jumped over that fissure, but he noticed that the situation hadn't changed all that much. The fissures were occurring all around him and if this went on, he couldn't approach Roman.

Meanwhile, after striking the ground multiple times with his left foot, Roman had disappeared from his spot. Noah tried to search for him, but suddenly, the ground underneath him slid and he was forced to pay more attention to his surroundings.

As the ground underneath him was sliding, he looked for another platform where he could stand comfortably. After a few seconds, he found it and went for it. He had to jump over a couple of sliding rocks, but he was finally safe from the effects of this man-made Earthquake.

At this moment, he heard a faint sound coming from the sky. Noah turned his head in that direction and his eyes widened as he saw Roman heading for him. Roman was planning to kick Noah's face and was perfectly positioned to do so.

It would be bad even if Noah dodged this attack and let Roman strike the ground near him. This ground was still quite close to the fissures and if it was strongly struck, a giant crater along with fissures would form over this ground as well.

Thus, Noah knew he had to intercept Roman somehow. Noah utilized a sword technique he was sure would put Roman to a halt. It was the Forsaken Monkey Slash!

Noah's body was covered with a dense amount of Wind Ardor. He hadn't concentrated his sword with this Wind Ardor because he didn't want to make it too sharp. He had something else in his mind.

Noah timed his attack perfectly and swung once Roman was in his range. Roman could not change his position at that particular moment. However, he was confident in winning this bout. He had concentrated his Gold Ardor and his Fist Qi within his kick. Moreover, he had also gathered great momentum through his high jump.

There was no possible method with which Noah could stop him. He wanted to at the least immobilize Noah for a few seconds so that he could capture him. He had a couple of questions for Noah.

Meanwhile, Noah launched the Forsaken Monkey Slash at Roman with the blunt side of his sword. Roman's momentum was reduced as Noah struck him with this attack. Roman noticed what Noah was doing, he was attacking him with strong attacks that would slowly reduce his speed and the power of his technique.

By the time Roman's kick touched Noah's body, it had lost almost all its power and Noah just backed away a couple of steps to absorb the impact. A smile appeared on Noah's face as he clenched his sword tightly and whispered, "Heaven Rending Stance!"

This time, Noah was confident that he could hit Roman. Even if Roman tried to create another earthquake, Noah would remain unaffected. Meanwhile, Noah's sword gave off a red light as his Sword Qi began to merge.

This onslaught posed a significant threat to Roman, and he realized that no amount of effort would be enough to stop it. He wasn't very good at defending. As a result, he was doomed to lose in this matchup, which pitted his weakest ability against his adversary's finest.

Thus, Roman immediately rolled on the ground and tried to dodge Noah's technique. Noah was surprised that Roman wouldn't take this attack head-on and would actually try to run. He took a step on the ground and then turned towards the direction in which Roman has rolled to.

He noticed Roman, who was lifting his clenched fist in that way. His aura was not seeping from his fist in any way. It demonstrated that he had learned to combine his Gold Element and his Fist Qi, as well as masterfully manipulate both.

Noah jumped towards Roman while bringing his sword forward to slice Roman with this technique. Even after witnessing that fine control and ability to fuse two different kinds of energies, Noah remained confident in his chances.

Roman's Fist struck Noah's sword and a loud metallic sound resounded in the entire area. This time, it was loud enough to disturb everyone in the area for a couple of seconds. Both Noah and Roman felt the effects of their adversary's techniques respectively.

Noah felt as though he had just received a solid punch on his chest. He was thrown back by a couple of steps and coughed out some blood from his mouth. Some of his organs ruptured after being struck with that attack. His Ardor defense couldn't withstand such a strong impact.

Meanwhile, Roman received multiple slashes on his body. These sword slashes went quite deep. Even though Roman had coated his vital organs with Gold Ardor, these sword slashes still penetrated his vital organs.

After feeling the effects of these Sword Slashes, he tried to raise his head and stand up. However, he fell to the ground soon after. Roman noticed that Noah was still preoccupied and was coughing blood.

Roman immediately shouted out to his comrades, "Shoot him now! He is defenseless!" A few of Roman's comrades heard him and immediately shot multiple long-ranged weapons at Noah.

Multiple arrows, spears, and even elemental attacks were launched at Noah. Meanwhile, the Heretical Paladins stared in Noah's direction with a worried look on their faces.

William immediately launched his spear. His strength was so great that his spear easily caught up with the arrows and spears and swept a few of them away. However, most of them still remained and these attacks were going to hit Noah soon.

There was no one within Noah's team who could help him now.

Noah naturally sensed the incoming attacks. He knew that he couldn't even utilize the Ardor Defense in time now. However, despite being in such a precarious situation, his mind remained calm.

His eyes moved as he looked around and felt that the world around him had slowed. He felt connected to the world.

Noah soon whispered, "Sword Domain!" On the outside, nothing seemed to have occurred even after Noah spoke these words.

However, they saw the results soon enough as those attacks entered Noah's range. All the arrows, spears, and even the elemental attacks were slashes into tiny pieces by some invisible forces.

Roman was utterly startled to witness this scene. He couldn't believe that this young kid had actually comprehended a domain!
