"A mere spiritual cultivator dares to act this way in our presence," he began to say. But before he could finish his sentence, a wisp of blue spiritual purifying fire materialized in front of Madam Guo'an.
Madam Guo'an's eyes blazed with anger as she instinctively waved her sleeve, attempting to dispel the dancing blue spiritual purifying fire. To her astonishment, the fire erupted into brilliant sparks with a resounding bang, its flames soaring higher.
Caught off guard, Guo'an jumped in shock. Fortunately, the robust man standing beside her swiftly pulled her into his arms, using his strong, muscular arm to shield her from the blue spiritual purifying fire.
Qiao Mu observed the scene closely, noting that a black spiritual armor had manifested on the man's arm, preventing the blue spirit flames from penetrating. The flames merely danced around the outer layer for a few seconds before vanishing silently.
