Fighting the Demon Lord

"I fight better when there's nobody around me since I can let loose without needing to worry about hitting you guys as well," Yuan said to them.

"I-I understand… If you think you can defeat it by yourself, we won't get in your way. But if I sense that you're in danger, I'll immediately assist you." Grandpa Lan said to him before returning to his human form.

"You want to fight me alone? Hahaha! Don't get cocky just because your cultivation improved slightly! You're still only a Spirit Grandmaster whilst I am a Spirit Lord! There's still a vast gap between us!" The Demon Lord laughed as its aura continued to rise.

Yuan didn't wait any longer and rushed at the Demon Lord, striking it with his Empyrean Overlord.

Clang!

The Demon Lord used two of its swords to block Yuan's strike whilst using its third one to retaliate.
