After clearing the third floor, Yuan proceeded to make his way to the fourth floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
'I had to fight two demons at once on the last floor. Will I need to fight three at once this time?' He wondered to himself as he walked the staircase.
Upon entering the fourth floor, Yuan waited for the Divine Paragon's voice to resound.
"Welcome to the fourth floor. You have fifteen minutes to defeat the demon." The Divine Paragon's voice resounded a moment later.
"Only fifteen minutes?" Yuan exclaimed. He did not expect such drastic changes, going from having an hour to defeat the demon to just fifteen minutes.
However, he wasn't that worried, especially since he knows that he can rely on Xiao Hua and Feng Yuxiang.
The scenery suddenly changed from inside the pagoda to this hell-like scenery, where he was surrounded by lava. It looked like he was inside some kind of volcano, but he's never been to such a place before, so he wasn't certain.
One thing that he is certain about is that it was immensely hot in that place with hot air blowing in his face constantly, almost like he was inside an oven.
While Yuan looked around for the demon, he suddenly noticed a figure emerging from the lava.
This demon had an appearance that Yuan hadn't seen before. Instead of its usual red skin, it had grayish skin this time, and it had a broken horn in its forehead that looked as though it'd been cleanly sliced by a sword.
As for its crystal… Of course, it didn't have one.
"When you're prepared to start the challenge, say 'Ready' out loud." The Divine Paragon's voice resounded when the demon stepped onto the platform.
However, before Yuan could even speak, the demon opened its mouth and spoke in a calm but indifferent voice, "You're not worthy."
Yuan frowned, but not because of the demon's arrogance. There was something about this demon that sent shivers down his back, and his instincts were telling him to avoid it at all cost.
But he couldn't just give up without fighting it. He had to at least try.
'I will be fine with Xiao Hua and Feng Feng by my side.' Yuan calmed himself down with such words.
The next moment, he summoned both of them before him.
"Young Master, I am getting a dangerous feeling from that demon." Feng Yuxiang said to him the moment she appeared.
Xiao Hua agreed with Feng Yuxiang by nodding her head.
"We got this." Yuan said.
Once they were prepared, Yuan spoke out loud, "Ready!"
The instant he uttered that word, the demon disappeared from its location before any of them could even make their move.
"YOUNG MASTER!"
"BROTHER YUAN! WATCH OUT!"
Both Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua suddenly shouted out loud at the same time, their voices filled with despair.
However, Yuan couldn't understand why they screamed— at least not until he felt pain in his body.
Yuan looked down at his body, and to his absolute surprise, there was an arm sticking out of his body.
