But at this moment, even with his personal intervention, a Sky Knight was still dealt with.

No matter how insignificant it might seem, the importance of a Sky Knight is immensely significant even for the Red Dragon Duke.

At this moment, in such a short period, two were lost because of Count Engle; it’s practically an unacceptable reality.

"What’s the matter, old man!"

"You don’t actually think you’ve got us figured out!"

Laughter echoed from below, as Michael’s infinite flames surged, with a bloody aura intertwining all over the world, his figure strutted upward. Compared to when he initially stepped into the ranks of the Sky Knights, there’s no doubt he changed drastically.

He’s known as the Bloody Knight.

In the Tulip Kingdom, and even among the ranks of the Earth Knights across the Three Northern Countries, Michael is an elite presence, certainly not without any means.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have earned the title of Bloody Knight.

In fact, not only Michael but also Count Engle held similar status.

"Boom!"

The sea of fire surged, as Michael thundered forward once more to attack the old man.

And at this moment, Count Engle was similarly enveloped in terrifying flames, the bloody hue also began to obscure the entire sky.

The aura emanating from Count Engle’s body surged from the Mid-stage Peak of Sky Knight, further elevating to the Late-stage Peak of Sky Knight, just a step away from the Sky Knight Peak.

Even more horrifying, the integration of both their flames in that instant turned the entire sky into a sea of fire.

In their youth, they explored an ancient relic originating from Nanyue, from which they gained not only advancements in their Earth Knight status but also acquired a top-grade Secret Technique.

This was the legendary inheritance of the Phoenix Clan.

Utilizing the Secret Technique can forcibly elevate them to a higher level.

At the Earth Knight Peak, using the Secret Technique already matched any ordinary Sky Knight.

Furthermore, if they can overcome their opponent.

The Phoenix Clan’s Secret Technique is sufficient to further refine their vitality and body.

Precisely because of this, they possess absolute might at the peak of Earth Knight status.

"Boom!"

The sea of fire surged, the terrifying heat spread; at this moment, both figures transformed into flames.

"Boom!"

The old man’s aura ascended, attempting to tear through the sea of fire, but facing Michael and Count Engle’s full-force utilization of the Secret Technique, he was instantly engulfed.

"Boom!"

"Kaboom!"

The battle continued to erupt endlessly, with three figures continuously clashing within the sea of fire.

Things underwent a complete transformation; the once one-sided crush achieved a balance instead.

The old man couldn’t break the sea of fire.

And even though Michael and Count Engle deployed the Secret Technique, it was challenging to gain the upper hand.

After all, the old man’s strength had already reached the Sky Knight Peak’s limit, just a step away from reaching the Half-Step Sanctuary and forming the Domain Prototype.

As the battle between the two progressed.

The surrounding forest quickly caught fire.

The flames swept across the vicinity.

These flames gradually were directed by the sky-spanning sea of fire, allowing the spreading flames to extend even further.

Count Engle and Michael’s bodies gradually seemed to ignite as well.

No, it’s not just an impression.

They truly began to burn.

The Phoenix Clan’s Secret Technique certainly allows for rapid power elevation.

However, it doesn’t come without a price; the power that incinerates everything, if maintained for too long, might eventually also burn oneself to ashes.

Just like now, although the sides are currently evenly matched.

But if sustained, Michael and Engle themselves could become consumed.

The old man quickly realized this.

His previously furious expression gradually settled down.

He even started to deliberately slow down his attacks.

If a better solution exists, he certainly wouldn’t opt for a reckless fight.

However, others didn’t realize this scene.

The terrifying sea of fire overwhelmed the entire sky, and the Sky Knight’s aura was palpable from miles away.

In the valley.

The battle continued.

At this moment, a few figures seemed to notice something, instantly gazing toward the distant sky.

Especially those above the sky.

At an altitude of three thousand meters.

"Boom!"

The terrifying Domain Prototype crashed repeatedly.

In mid-air, two figures instantly spread apart.

"Hahaha, Grand Duke, the situation isn’t quite as you mentioned; of your two Sky Knights, only one remains now."

The Old Duke Liepuer glanced at distant events, laughed heartily, his previously gloomy mood lifted slightly.

Meanwhile, the Red Dragon Duke’s face instantly turned grim.

The battlefield was merely miles away, and he keenly sensed it.

Only one figure remained there, the other Sky Knight’s figure vanished.

Vanishnment within such a battlefield speaks for itself.

Two Sky Knights, two Sky Knights vanished; even his expression darkened markedly.

In contrast, the Old Duke Liepuer’s smile broadened.

"Liepuer, it’s just a Secret Technique, do you expect they could last longer."

"Croiss can quickly finish them,"

The Red Dragon Duke scoffed coldly, inhaling deeply, and pressed down his thoughts swiftly.

But the Old Duke Liepuer retorted with a seemingly teasing smile.

And his demeanor made the Red Dragon Duke’s expression slightly fluctuate.

However, at this moment, he could only glance once, then continued spreading the Domain Prototype’s power.

Stopping now wasn’t feasible.

He must resolve matters with the Liepuer Clan before filling losses.

"Boom!"

"Kaboom!"

The massive roar reverberated still, both figures clashed again, pushing the Domain Prototype’s power to its extremity.

But what made the Red Dragon Duke’s face more troubled was that the opponent’s prowess clearly exceeded typical Kingdom’s Half-Step Sanctuary, even he struggled to subjugate them.

The opponent seemed to possess the impending sense of stepping into the Sanctuary.

No, it wasn’t impending.

Rather, they were indeed about to step in.

The Divine Descent incident erupted, leaving the Liepuer Clan heavy losses, yes, but it also returned quite some rewards.

In dealing with the Red Dragon Duke, the other two major Duke Clans’ Half-Step Sanctuaries might pose hardships, but for the Liepuer Clan, they weren’t unmanageable.

Within the valley, battles erupted ceaselessly.

As the flames ascended initially, these combats escalated further.

The Red Dragon Duke spared no reserves, letting his Domain spread entirely.

The Old Duke Liepuer also acted similarly.

Such battles attracted numerous top-level nobles around them, and many nobles watched eagerly, awaiting the next outcome.

If the two suffer mutual losses, undoubtedly opportunities would emerge. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Resolving one side means the reward could grow exponentially.

Both families hold significant Law Fragments, whether in core regions, and the light clusters from the Liepuer Clan and Red Dragon Duke remain substantial.

Meanwhile, as the battle intensifies, Thor’s figure integrated entirely.
