On the street, the Crimson Flame Tiger-man stood off against Liang He and Cornice from a distance.
The two stood side by side, backs straight, their Battle Swords surrounded by a faint blue Wind Element Spiritual Energy, their grip and stance perfectly matched. An observant person would instantly recognize them as fellow disciples from the same sect.
"Courting death!"
The Crimson Flame Tiger-man's eyes widened in anger as flames around him roared and surged, transforming into a fiery red afterimage, fiercely charging at the two.
Liang He and Cornice exchanged a glance, fully aware that with their Tier Five strength, they stood no chance against the Tier Six Crimson Flame Tiger-man in a direct fight. Their sole option was not to win, but to delay, to hold out until reinforcements from the garrison arrived.
In the next moment, the two moved simultaneously.
