Relict Continent, Five Elements Dao Palace.

The Fire Sea surged, black smoke filling the air.

The shadow dragon echoed through the flames, seeking a flaw in Blood Demon Zhu Yan.

He had exchanged several hundred rounds with Blood Demon Zhu Yan, yet neither could gain the upper hand. Though Dragon Flame was tyrannical and ferocious, capable of incinerating all things, the Five Elements Dao Palace itself was the embodiment of the Five Elements Mountain Method and could refine Dragon Flame into Five Elements true qi on its own. Coupled with the sword in Blood Demon Zhu Yan's hand, it gave him an unbearable headache.
