"Ugh!" Yun Lintian's body trembled, his feathers ruffled by the sheer force of the attack. He felt the heat searing his flesh, the destructive energy threatening to tear him apart from the inside out.
He gritted his teeth, refusing to yield. He drew upon every ounce of his strength, his willpower a beacon of defiance against the overwhelming power of the Sacred Flame God.
He pushed back, his wings beating the air with a thunderous roar, his flames surging outwards in a desperate attempt to repel the arrow.
But Huo Yanzeng's attack was relentless, its power seemingly inexhaustible. The arrow pressed forward, inch by agonizing inch, its heat melting Yun Lintian's feathers and scorching his flesh.
Yun Lintian's movements began to slow, his attacks losing their initial ferocity. He was faltering, his body pushed to its absolute limit.
