Wen Lie, the Honored Guest Elder of Yinglong Mansion, brandished his giant blade. Layers upon layers of light from his weapon forced back the flames. He was attempting to channel his Magical Power, preparing to cleave through the blaze with a single, full-powered strike and escape the range of the Great Sun True Fire.
This fire, though incredibly powerful, had no trapping properties. If he could just hold it off for a moment, he'd have a chance to break free.
Ten breaths...
'I can only hold on for ten breaths!'
The intent behind Wen Lie's blade soared to its peak as he prepared to unleash his mightiest strike.
Just then, a formless, invisible beam of sword light descended from above. With unparalleled sharpness, it instantly pierced through Wen Lie's Protective Spiritual Light and shot straight into his forehead.
Wen Lie died on the spot. His body then erupted in raging golden flames, incinerated to ash in an instant.
