"You truly are a damned fool!"
Afterward, Purgatory Mad Lion glanced down at the several wounds on his own body, seething with anger. He was two full ranks higher than his opponent and had initially thought he could easily overpower him. However, not only had White Tiger held his ground for so long, but he had also inflicted numerous gashes on him, which was truly embarrassing for Purgatory Mad Lion.
After saying this, he walked toward White Tiger with a murderous intent radiating from him.
"To have injured me like this, your death is well-deserved!" He spoke in a deep voice as he approached White Tiger, still about ten meters away. As soon as the words fell, without any further ado, he raised his hand and swept it out, creating a violent gust of wind.
"Be careful!" Samuel Watson shouted from nearby.
"Tiger!" Rakshasa, who was engaged in battle with others, witnessed the scene and rushed over rapidly. At the same time, she swung her long whip, creating a powerful gust of wind to counter the opponent's palm strike. However, her cultivation level was a whole realm lower than that of Purgatory Mad Lion, making them completely unmatched. She was sent flying by the force of his palm wind, spewing a mouthful of blood while suspended in mid-air.
"Rakshasa!" James Harper exclaimed and quickly got up to walk over.
"You're not bad, you managed to make a beautiful lady fight to protect you at all costs. It seems like you have something special!" Purgatory Mad Lion glanced in the direction of Rakshasa before turning to White Tiger.
"However, it's a pity. The two of you are destined to be separated today," Purgatory Mad Lion sneered. "I'll start by killing you, then I'll take Rakshasa back to my Purgatory Gate. I can't bear to kill such a beautiful woman. After I've had my fun, I'll let my brothers down below enjoy her too! When all my brothers have had their fill, I'll send her back down to keep you company!"
As he finished speaking, his aura surged once again, and he launched a punch at White Tiger. The sound of breaking wind echoed, and the intent to kill hung heavy in the air.
"No, don't..." Rakshasa, not far away and herself injured, shouted desperately.
James Harper also shouted at the same time.
Both of them were acutely aware that if White Tiger were struck by that punch, he would be in mortal danger. They wanted to help, but unfortunately, their strength was insufficient and thus they could only watch as the opponent's fist struck towards White Tiger.
However, at this point, White Tiger's momentum was several levels higher than before he was injured, and he has already reached the peak of Warlord cultivation.
"Hmm!?" Purgatory Mad Lion, without any sense of preparedness, suddenly shrank his pupils to the size of wheat grains and quickly dodged to one side.
However, he was still a half-beat too slow. The blade aura flashed past his shoulder, and in an instant, his arm fell to the ground.
"Um..." Purgatory Mad Lion groaned, cold sweat pouring down his body.
After a slight pause, he looked at White Tiger and spoke with difficulty, "You... you broke through?"
"Surprised? I should thank yourself. If it wasn't for you pushing me to my limits, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly." Said White Tiger as he shrugged his shoulders.
Before coming to Place of Darkness, Billy helped him break through from the early stage of Warlord to the later stage of Warlord, and he was only one step away from reaching the peak.
After this period of intense fighting, he had caught glimpses of the dawn of the peak state several times. Just now, under the stimulation of Purgatory Mad Lion, he successfully broke through that bottleneck and officially stepped into the Warlord's peak.
Hearing White Tiger's words, Purgatory Mad Lion spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, I've been sparring all this time." He thought.
