WHOOSH!
The moment the flame appeared, the blood-red light surrounding it was instantly split apart, creating a long, narrow path—a vacuum.
Jiuchen had no time for shock. He seized the opportunity, shooting the black dagger from his hand at the critical moment. His target was Duan Tianlang. The enraged Duan Tianlang was startled by the sight. He only had time to raise the Thick Earth Seal in front of him before being struck by the dagger. He immediately coughed up a spray of blood and was sent flying backward.
"What is this flame…"
As he flew backward, Duan Tianlang stared at Ye Xuan in shock and anger. Although Jiuchen's strike hadn't hit him directly, it had caused immense internal damage, nearly shattering his organs.
This was all because of the crimson, ethereal flame Ye Xuan had suddenly released. That flame had almost instantly broken through all of his blood-qi defenses.
