The frost around the shield scattered as the Dragon Destroyer hit the shield. The frost broke apart while the vortexes of wind managed to reduce the force behind the strike, but it still produced a loud bang.
Meanwhile, Duran Ambrose's eyes widened in shock as he received the strike. It was much stronger than before. The force blasted him away and Derekh was hit by him. Both flung backward and rolled on the ground.
Duran immediately balanced his body and stood up again, readying himself for another attack. Derekh Malone stabilized himself with his Wind Elemental Power and shot up toward the sky. He distanced himself from Tang Shaoyang, he did not want to get another surprise attack by his opponent. Not only his enemy had great strength but he was also extremely fast.
However, Tang Shaoyang did not chase after Derekh Malone as he flew toward Duran Ambrose who was ready to fight him again, "You managed to block by [Thousand Blast] before, what about if you try it again?" He was right above Duran and slammed his Dragon Destroyer downward.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Duran Ambrose raised his shield again and focused his Frost Elemental Power onto the shield. The shield received torrential blast, again and again. Duran gritted his teeth, without a doubt the blast was much stronger than before the man transformed. He did not know how many blasts he had received, but he was holding up. He endured all the blasts until he noticed the shield started to crack.
Duran panicked when he noticed the crack on the shield. If he received the blast with his body, he would suffer. If he was not dead then he would be half-dead. Just as the death door hovered over him, the blast stopped. He and the shield endured all the blasts.
But as soon as the blast stopped, the shield crumbled into pieces and he saw the figure was still flying above him. But that was not the issue, the issue was that the fire surrounded him from all directions. Not only was the skill getting much stronger after the transformation, but the fire was getting much stronger as well. The Frost Aura could no longer shield off the fire as the frost instantly vanished as soon as it met with the fire.
Duran Ambrose raised his sword and as the frost aura started to condense around him. While it could not ward off the fire, the frost aura still could slow down the fire. Duran Ambrose raised his sword at the level of his chest, "Frost Sword Technique: Seventh Frost Sword, Frost Blade Domain!"
That was the same technique that Ashley tried to execute when she fought against Bronson but Crystal stopped it halfway. The fire was a few centimeters away from him, but Duran Ambrose raised his sword and slashed the sword downward toward Tang Shaoyang direction.
A fierce Frost Aura spread out in all directions as countless ice blades formed above Tang Shaoyang. However, the fire domain contained the frost aura. The frost only managed to push the fire a meter back before the frost aura started to evaporate under the fire domain.
At the same time as the ice blades formed above him, Tang Shaoyang also cast [Slayer Blade]. He summoned hundreds of Slayer Blades. The slayer blade then moved on his will, destroying all the ice blades. He easily broke apart the Frost Sword Technique: Seventh Frost Sword, Frost Blade Domain.
Duran Ambrose's complexion paled. It took a great toll to execute the skill even with the bloodline transformation. Then Duran Ambrose realized that the man in front of him was much stronger than he thought. Underestimating him or not, he could not win against this man.
'Is he really coming from the lower world?' It was for sure that the report regarding the world was the only truth he heard from his daughter, 'But how could a lower world produce such a monster? Just what kind of world is that?'
"That's it? I thought the Frost Sword Technique was much stronger than this…" Tang Shaoyang muttered in disappointment. He was expecting that the Epic Rank of humans could give him some challenge, but they were not far off from the Epic Rank of the beastmen even though they needed to reach level 1000 to reach Epic Rank.
—It is not the sword technique that is weak, but it's you who is far stronger than Duran, Master. Your fire domain basically countered the Seventh Frost Sword. If not for your fire domain that is stronger than the Frost Domain, it could give Duran a chance to survive.
Crystal replied in his head. As someone who invented the sword technique, she was aware of how strong it was. The key from the technique was to maintain the domain so one could form endless ice blades as long as they stayed in the domain. Just like how Tang Shaoyang controlled his Fire Domain with his thoughts, Duran also should be able to control his domain as well.
"Then you should teach me the sword technique. Maybe it will be much stronger in my hand," Tang Shaoyang used his time to chat with the spirit. He felt that the fight was over. He could see that in Duran's eyes. The man's eyes had lost their light, losing his will to continue the fight. The man realized that he could not win so why would he waste his time fighting the monster?
"You should never give your back to your enemy, kid. The first and last lesson you will learn from me," Derekh Malone suddenly appeared behind Tang Shaoyang with his spear. He thought he succeeded in his sneak attack. However, just as the spear was about to pierce the back of Tang Shaoyang's head, Tang Shaoyang's figure split into seven, all escaping in all directions. The stab missed.
Of course, Tang Shaoyang had his [Spirit Eyes] on Derekh Malone. Even though he fought Duran Ambrose, he had been watching the other guy. He dodged the stab with [Mirage Stride]. After casting [Mirage Stride], he then cast [Flash Step]. His figure appeared right in front of Derekh Malone and his hand instantly reached the neck.
"Let's end the fight, it is such a disappointment," Tang Shaoyang commented as even two Epic Ranks could not give him a challenge, "[Slayer Absorption]!"
