The elders and disciples of the Crimson Sun Sect were alarmed after they witnessed the overwhelming disparity between them and the two. Looking at their calm expressions, Hestia and Hu Xiandao did not even seem to have expended a lot of true essence!
“They are strong! It would be difficult if we continue to fight like this!”
“Elders, form a battle formation! Disciples, stand behind us and provide long range support!” A guardian of the Crimson Sun Sect stepped forward and commanded his group. This guy was an old man in his sixties, and his cultivation level had already reached the early stage of the 9th-rank Saint!
“Yes, Lord Guardian!” Everyone answered when they heard his command. This guardian seemed to be someone respectable in the Crimson Sun Sect based on how the others reacted to his call.
The elders of the Crimson Sun Sect gathered around each other and formed a battle formation facing Hu Xiandao and Hestia. After they banded together, their aura climbed higher, making their combined might even stronger than before! The disciples also stood behind their elders with solemn faces as they slowly channeled their true essence.
Hu Xiandao and Hestia felt a strong amount of pressure coming from them after they assembled their battle formation. Although it was only rough and was hastily executed, it was still enough to put pressure on the two.
“Elder Hestia, be careful. They might be weak individually, but the power of their battle formation must not be underestimated.” Hu Xiandao said warily as he observed the formation of their enemy. He was trying to search for a hole in their defense.
Hestia nodded her head calmly. “Elder Hu, I have already found the weakness of their formation. The moment I attack, just hit the spot that I will strike.” She said as she slowly lifted her sword. A trace of disdain flashed in her gaze for a moment.
The Crimson Sun Sect’s group became alert when they saw Hestia’s actions. The guardian and the elders also prepared their weapons as they watched Hestia with serious gazes.
If anyone else would see the confrontation between these two groups, they would certainly be surprised. After all, the Crimson Sun Sect had dozens of experts while they were merely facing two individuals! However, they could not be blamed either. The strength of Hestia and Hu Xiandao has exceeded their expectations!
“Go!” Hestia suddenly dashed towards the leading guardian, catching everyone unprepared. Even Hu Xiandao was shocked at her swift movements, but he was still able to follow behind her.
The leading guardian of the Crimson Sun Sect sneered upon seeing Hestia’s attack. Although she was fast, he was still able to track her movements. After all, the difference in their cultivation was small. Even so, he did not dare take her lightly.
“Activate your defensive skills! Disciples, aim your skills forward! Make sure you avoid hitting us!” The guardian issued a series of commands.
Hestia’s mouth curled into a cunning smile when she saw their actions. She then changed the trajectory of her path and targeted the disciples who were still preparing to attack!
Hu Xiandao almost failed to follow her. ’You could have at least told me that you are targeting them.’ He smiled wryly in his heart.
“Shit! Their real target are the disciples behind us! Don’t let them succeed!” The guardian shouted angrily when he saw everything.
“Too late!” Hestia said as she swiped her sword towards the stunned disciples. The poor disciples could only helplessly watch Hestia as she struck them.
Hu Xiandao did not forget Hestia’s words. He lifted his gigantic sword and smacked it down towards the place where most of the disciples were gathered.
Bang!
The unlucky disciples who were hit by his massive sword were flattened into meat paste! As for those who luckily came out alive, some parts of their body were already missing…
“Stop right there!” The guardian waved his war axe towards Hu Xiandao’s defenseless back. His axe carried a scorching flame that made the surroundings turn hotter.
“Die!”
The elders of the Crimson Sun Sect also attacked Hestia’s fatal spots, not wishing to give her a chance to escape!
Hu Xiandao’s eyes erupted with fury and he abruptly turned around and parried the guardian’s war axe with his giant sword. The violent clashing of their weapons produced a loud clanging sound.
Clang!
The ground beneath them crumbled as they used all their strength to push their weapons!
Meanwhile, Hestia stared at the incoming enemies with a calm look. In her eyes, all their movements suddenly turned slow. This was her skill. It could enhance her reaction speed and increase her mental strength, making her thought process faster than normal!
Hestia brandished her sword elegantly. It was as if she was painting a beautiful artwork with every strike of her sword! And when she sheathed her sword, the airborne enemies suddenly exploded into a fountain of blood!
“Too weak!” She shook her head in disappointment. She then stared at the guardian who was only barely blocking Hu Xiandao’s fierce sword strikes.
“Elder Hu, do you need my help?” She asked with a smile.
“Hahaha! I’m just warming up, Elder Hestia. I will finish this soon!” The barbarian chuckled upon hearing Hestia’s words. He was also feeling shocked at how fast Hestia had eliminated her enemies. After all, there were almost ten elders that pounced at her.
“You dare treat me lightly?! Die!” The guardian felt rage boiling in his heart when he heard the conversation between the two. They were actually taking him lightly?
“You might be stronger than me, but I can still drag you to hell with me! Die!” The guardian used his remaining strength to swing his war axe with full force!
Facing this, Hu Xiandao revealed a mocking smile as he slashed his sword.
Bang!
The guardian’s war axe was destroyed and he was also thrown away by the resulting force of the attack!
Hu Xiandao stared at the guardian and saw that the guy was still alive. Although the guardian’s body was already beyond injured, he still managed to stare at Hu Xiandao with extreme hatred.
“Th-The gra-grand elder will avenge us!” His eyes lost their glow after saying those words.
“Grand elder? Is he talking about that old man earlier?” Hu Xiandao muttered to himself as he recalled the hunched old man. Although their meeting was only brief, he was still able to sense the old man’s formidable strength. If he did not leave, the outcome of the battle might have been different.
Hestia walked behind Hu Xiandao. She also heard the last words of the guardian. “Elder Hu, let’s go and check the others. Many of the Crimson Sun Sect’s people followed after them. The new disciples might be in danger.” She said to Hu Xiandao.
The barbarian nodded his head and said. “Lead the way, Elder Hestia.”

On a different battlefield, Prince Dante and the others were fiercely fighting against the disciples of the Crimson Sun Sect. Although their individual strengths were stronger than their counterparts, the enemies had outnumbered them and it won’t be long before they will run out of stamina and true essence.
“Everyone, just hold on!” Prince Dante shouted, but his words did not manage to ignite everyone’s fighting intent. If not for the elders protecting them, some of them would have already died.
Seeing that his allies were struggling, Prince Dante frowned. If this continued, some of them might die. “I need to think of a way that could let everyone have a breather.”
“Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower, stand behind me! As the strongest experts of the younger generation, how could these weaklings defeat us! In every enemy you kill, I will offer a corresponding amount of True Crystals! I will personally ask the sect for the rewards! Don’t hold back!” A loud shout suddenly caught everyone’s attention. The eyes of Prince Dante and the others twinkled. They knew that it was Yang Zenke.
“Brother Yang is right! How could these bunch of nobodies threaten us?! I, Han Sen, will slay whoever crosses swords with me!”
“Kill!!”
The tide of the battle abruptly changed after that shout from Yang Zenke. Despite the weariness of the Heavenly Sword Tower’s disciples, they still brandished their swords like crazed fanatics. They did not even flinch after getting a few wounds!
The eyes of their enemies revealed a trace of fear upon witnessing the fierce struggle of their opponents.
“These fucking bastards are crazy! They are a bunch of crazy lunatics! To think that the Heavenly Sword Tower is actually accepting these kinds of disciples!”
“I don’t want to fight anymore!”
“Flee! These bastards are crazy!”
Some of the Crimson Sun Sect’s disciples turned tail and ran, making those that remained to feel a huge amount of pressure.
Prince Dante heaved a sigh of relief at this development. “Good thing Brother Yang is here to encourage everyone. I wonder how Elder Hu and Elder Hestia are faring. They are facing more than several dozens of enemies there, so we must hurry!”
