The blade seed to beco the sun as Lind swung it like a bolt of lightning at Bishyin.
The demon easily sidestepped the swing but then was stunned as wind and earth pushed at him to put him off balance.
Lind twisted with his swing and his leg ca right at the demon!
A vicious smile crossed the fine lavender features making him look as evil as possible.
A clink was the only warning as the head of the morning star extended on a chain for Lind's legs.
As if he knew, Lind covered his legs in scales that forced the weapon to bounce but there was still an audible crack from the scales.
The power was just too vast between them, but it was still impressive.
Both n hopped back and got themselves under control.
The tension rose but both were smiling.
"You knew?"
Lind shrugged at his question but that only made the demon smile wider as the head began to twirl.
Even Lind could not follow it anymore as the speed was far above him, but the Qi was not!
His Heaven Eyes saw the mont tal Qi flowed and leapt over the sparkling attack.
The tal Qi ford larger points on the head that would have shredded Lind's defenses like paper!
Lind used Storm Art 3 on Bishyin.
It was so nad as it combined 3 elents into a storm of Qi but focused it.
Only 6 elentals could do it as the traces of the remaining 3 elents were used to infuse the cultivator.
It created the balance needed for the Art to work.
A set of lighting twisters flew at Bishyin while Lind's body seed to beco an immovable feature of the world.
"Not bad, but too weak!"
Bishyin used cold fire and tal on his morning star as it twirled once more but shock crossed his features.
The storm kept coming!
"Weak, perhaps, but not finite!"
Qi flowed like a sea around Lind but Bishyin quickly grasped the problem.
It was not a discrete Art that was launched and then separated from the cultivator, it was a conjuring Art that was always fueled by the cultivator.
It was rather frustrating as the forr he could destroy easily but the latter would require going through the storm to get his opponent.
Despite the separation of tiers, he felt a threat from that Art.
He was wise.
The terror of 6 elentals was not just the flexibility of all elents but the lesson Lind gave them about the natural world.
He had discovered that 6 elentals were unique in the ability to mimic or induce natural effects from the world around them.
Thus, Wyndam had made Arts that played into that strength.
They were very difficult as it took a long ti to understand the natural world, but Lind had made them a reality.
Thus, Storm Arts were not internal conjurings from the dantian but external conjurings from the world.
Bishyin would not be facing tier 2 Sky Arts, but the Floating Isles themselves!
Still, it was very Qi intensive to maintain and had a glaring weakness.
Lind could not move!
The demon quickly found that weakness but the arena restricted his movents and the storm took up most of the space!
Lind Frey was a monster to abuse the weakness for an attack!
Bishyin could dive through but he would suffer and that mont of suffering would be Lind's opportunity!
Laughter ca from Bishyin at that mont.
His blood thundered in his body as he dropped his morning star.
A massive spear replaced it with a serrated tip and the color of blood.
Lind was stunned.
Demon Forged!
Peak grade 5!
There was a Forging demon sowhere!
His interest had to be pushed down but Bishyin nodded at him.
"This was made by my grandfather.
He is sadly long gone but if you can win our little bout, I would be happy to share so of his secrets to a true master."
Lind almost fell for it.
The spear had vanished during the words Bishyin spoke!
Instinct scread at him but it took a few monts to release the Art.
Lind had no choice.
His body grew in size as erald scales covered him.
Erald light flared as he twisted his upper body to find a blazing cold fire attack covering the spear!
It had gone above the storm in an instant without a single disruption to the Qi!
Erald fire built in his throat and exploded upward.
The spear was stronger than him but no fire could overco a dragon!
The Qi dispersed to the total shock of both Fey and Bishyin.
Still, it did not reduce the force of the attack!
Lind's eyes narrowed as he did sothing very stupid but necessary.
He shifted his body slightly and the spear shattered his scales as it went directly through one of his ribs!
His body was as paper to it and it hurt, but he straightened as blood trailed down his mouth.
Bishyin was truly in awe of Lind Frey as the spear likely shattered so organs, yet it did not stop him!
Lind pointed at himself and then at Bishyin.
"YES!
CO!
FIGHT !"
Happiness filled Bishyin as he retrieved the morning star and charged it with more tal and cold fire Qi.
Hellfire Sect cherished strength.
They cared nothing for war, but personal battles drove them hard.
The heart of their path was to challenge the strong and rise above the heights achieved before.
It appealed to a vast number of demons and one of them chose to make a sect where they could fight to their heart's content.
It had simply been to make a place but demons were reviled or hated by humans for no reason.
Many battles had forged the Hellfire Sect into the supre power it had beco.
Darkmoor Kingdom often chose to join it if they could, but it was only one of many demonic powers in the Floating Isles.
The forr Demon Empire had joined far more wicked or dubious power but suffered massive deaths over 10 years ago.
Hellfire did not care for morals but they had one criteria most Demon Empires had disdained.
Combat must be open and without tricks.
True strength ca not only from victory but from riding the edge of life and death.
Lind had taken the spar from simple exchange to true battle and Bishyin could not be happier.
A roar ca as the spear was pulled all the way through his body as the Storm Art dispersed.
Blood gushed but then stopped.
The recovery of a dragon was not to be underestimated!
No weapons on Lind's side as he launched himself across the small arena.
The scales were slowly recovering but it was a minor detail as the morning star sang on the air.
The cold fire and tal Qi made the weapon a thousand tis deadlier yet shock returned.
Lind produced his own demonic Qi!
It was only Diamond Tier but it was shadow and acid!
It weakened the morning star to just its material strength!
The tal cracked his arms but that was all!
Sweat poured down Bishyin as he never imagined a tier 2 junior could push him so far!
He let his full aura out and it was low tier 9!
He was in the final tier of the Sky Realm!
His features were so fine but he looked like he had just co from hell as blue flas lined his armor and a sickly green aura finally appeared.
Instead of backing off, Lind stayed close and swiped his claws right at Bishyin's face.
The demon moved easily aside but frowned.
The poison was far stronger than tier 2, so why was Lind unaffected?
The scales suddenly drew his eye and actual joy returned.
Dragons were vital creatures, very few poisons worked on them even in the World Realm supposedly.
One of his elents was neutralized completely in that mont but he did not yield.
If anything, it added spice to the fight!
"Take this!"
A dagger appeared and flared with dark light!
It was not his elent but the daggers alone!
Forged items allowed such unexpected monts but Lind was well aware and not unprepared.
Demonic shadow appeared again but his eye narrowed as the dagger sucked it in.
He had to dodge as the blade easily sliced open his scales on his bicep!
"HA HA HA!
Shadowdancer uses both opposing elents!
It is one of my grandfather's greatest achievents!"
Lind could only nod at that.
He could use all 6 elents but he had now seen 2 different weapons that used 4 elents at least.
It was not easy to learn other elents in Forging as Delenn had shown him.
His praise for the demon Forger rose but the battle had to end.
He was almost out of strength.
Grimacing, he summoned a black cylinder Fey knew well but only made Bishyin raise an eyebrow.
Before he could regret it, his harmony flowed like a storm and a massive blade suddenly materialized and swung down at Bishyin.
The demon felt a true threat from that scaled Qi blade and used his dagger to block.
The shock wave sent them both flying.
Lind heard bones break but he was not in any danger.
Bishyin seed to have only been pushed back and his armor hardly dented.
Lind shrunk as he stood sweat soaked and exhausted, but his spirit felt better.
He bowed low to Bishyin.
"Thank you for your instruction, senior."
Lind was wobbly and clearly at his end but Bishyin was fully satisfied.
"Stop moping and get to work then.
I know you have…circumstances…but a warrior must not get lost in training and strategizing.
There cos a ti to fight and that is now!"
Bishyin then collected his weapons and turned to leave.
Lind thought on the words and felt a cloud leave his heart.
He summoned an elixir and tossed it at the demon.
Bishyin froze and looked at it.
It was mid Heaven grade 4 demonic elixir.
"That is the best I can do but maybe I will have improved when I reach your sect."
Bishyin smiled wide and waved as he left the arena.
Yanmi was also not far looking on but her face was flushed as if she too wanted to fight Lind.
He waved her off and turned to Fey.
Unlike before, she was not as timid.
It was as if sothing was trying to work itself out in her.
A true warmth filled Lind at that mont.
"Sotis a warrior has to fight, huh?"
The words were not just for him, it seed.
