The four of us leaped down from the rooftop, charging straight at the fiendish man.
The South Korean exorcists behind us kept shouting.
"China, Chinese Taoists are so fierce, smida!"
"Is this, is this a Chinese expert, smida?"
"Too, too powerful, smida!"
"..."
The constant "smidas" behind me never stopped. I was already in midair, slashing my sword at the fiendish man as I shouted low:
"Heaven and Earth unite, and thunder is born. Yin and Yang follow, and the art is formed. Heavenly thunder breaks evil—Thunder Slash!"
With a deafening crack of thunder, an arc of lightning struck down at the fiendish man.
The fiendish man's expression changed drastically when he saw the lightning descending.
He hurriedly raised his Moon Blade and let out a roar:
"...smida!"
Azure energy erupted from his body.
With a thunderous boom, he actually blocked my strike with the Moon Blade in his hand.
At the same time, the Phoenix-Pattern Jade Pendant reacted violently.
Azure energy. The jade pendant's reaction.
There was no mistaking it—the Azure Crystal.

In other words, this Roof-Tile Fiend had become so powerful because he had obtained the Azure Crystal and raised his rank. Using its effects, he had hidden on the rooftop of Blue Tile Palace, playing right under our noses.
But today, he had run into me. Forget the Azure Crystal—even the Spirit King of Carefree Tower, who had possessed multiple crystals, had still died.
Zhang Yuchen, Pan Ling, and Mao Jing attacked again.
They unleashed three spells.
"Spirit Light Spell!"
"Supreme Nether Purification, destroy the vicious spirit. Azure Sky Incantation..."
"Divine soldiers, swiftly obey my command—Divine Fire Incantation!"
In an instant, the three spells were unleashed.
