The Almighty Dragon General

As James and Faela stood on the brink of confrontation, tension thickened. The distant observers, including the two old men and Yared, felt their hearts racing.
On the sidelines, Herodias and Yegor wore solemn expressions, fully aware of the gravity of the situation. Faela was at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank's peak, and as someone who had mastered both Marciais Combat Form, she possessed a distinct advantage over opponents of the rank.
On the other hand, James was only at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. The couple was worried that he could not hold his own against her, especially since there was a significant gap between their ranks.
Herodias quickly sent a telepathic message to Yegor, saying, “We need to watch carefully. If James is in danger, we must intervene."
Yegor replied, "Based on their brief confrontation just now, James might not necessarily lose."
Herodias vented her frustration, "James is only at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. He has already pushed his limits by fighting someone three ranks higher than him. And now, he has to face someone at the Ninth Xaeclon Rank while injured?"
Seeing that his wife was furious, Yegor could only nod in agreement. Her concern for James made it evident she thought of him as a son.

Meanwhile, James and Faela were still standing opposite each other. They glared at each other, and a mental battlefield appeared in their eyes. The two unleashed all their Supernatural Powers, fighting with the same power.
In their intense mental battle, James and Faela unleashed all their magical powers and skills, engaging in a battle of wits and strength. James' Dawnblaze Form, Terrastride Step, and Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes compensated for his lower cultivation rank, allowing him to fight with astonishing speed.
On the other hand, Faela's mastery of her abilities and formidable Marciais Power allowed her to engage James in close combat with unparalleled agility and speed as well. Despite James's keen perception of his Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes, he failed a few times to discern Faela's unpredictable movements and was hit a few times.
After countless rounds of fighting, Faela realized James' speed outmatched her. Desperate to gain the upper hand, she deployed a Celestial Formation using the surrounding star clusters and planets to encircle James, limiting his movements.
Her tactic was very effective, as James was surprised and unable to react in time. In the mental battlefield taking place in their eyes, James' Ultimate Golden Body was severely injured.
To Faela's surprise, James had one more trick up his sleeve—formations.
The next moment, Faela found herself trapped within James' formidable formation.
The formation, empowered by James's heightened cultivation rank, had become a mighty Supernatural Power. Its walls were constructed from the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell while bolts of Quasar Lightning descended from above, and flames erupted from the ground.
Additionally, a violent surge of wind permeated the surroundings.
At that moment, Faela found herself in grave danger.
