The White Tiger King was already severely injured, and he had exhausted most of his power. Therefore, the attack rendered him powerless. The soldiers came at him again with their weapons held high before he could even take a breath.
Blood gushed out of him like a waterfall, and finally, he could not hold on anymore. He started to fall from the sky and then landed heavily on the roof of the Imperial Sky Palace. He instantly transformed back to his original tiger form and roared at the sky as he drove the soldiers back with his paws.
The other soldiers looked at each other with fear in their eyes when they saw the White Tiger King's ferocious original form. They were impressed that he could still summon so much energy with all the injuries on him.
"White Tiger King!" Darryl shouted with tears in his eyes.
The White Tiger King roared at him with determination in his eyes. It was his way of telling Darryl to go!
Darryl's eyes were extremely red. He yelled crazily at the Nine Heaven Emperor in the sky. "I will make you pay if anything happens to White Tiger King and Colori Phoenix!"
He wiped the tears from his eyes, gritted his teeth, and rushed toward the back of the Imperial Sky Palace. He did not want to leave, but the White Tiger King's sacrifice would be useless if he did not. A massive cluster of palace buildings consisting of the Nine Heaven Emperor's chamber and the prison were behind the Imperial Palace.
The Nine Heaven Emperor's face darkened at Darryl's threat. How could the Godly Region's ruler let a threat from a mere mortal go by without punishment?
"Stop him!" he commanded, and a few thousand soldiers charged toward Darryl again.
"Clear a path for His Excellency!" Colori Phoenix shouted. She led a few hundred demons to obstruct the soldiers.
Darryl took that opportunity to barge into the group of palace buildings. Once there, he exhaled deeply. 'I've finally shaken them off my tails!'
At the same time, he was a little anxious. 'I have to hurry. White Tiger King, Colori Phoenix, and the others will not last much longer.'
Suddenly, he felt a fierce aura from behind him, and he immediately turned around to check it out. He was startled at what he saw. A figure donned in golden armor had broken through Colori Phoenix's barricade. He was Odlin, one of the Six Kings of Suppression under the Nine Heaven Emperor. Judging by his aura, he was at least ten times stronger than Grunt.
"Darryl, how dare you free the demons and cause chaos in the Imperial Sky Palace? Don't think you're safe just because the demons are willing to cover for you," Odlin ridiculed when he sensed Darryl's panic.
"Drop dead!" he shouted as he charged toward Darryl with a black sword in his hand.
