Chou Jie showed no mercy, he launched a volley of fireballs towards Ling who was sitting duck amidst the tall grass.
Ling summoned his Martial Spirit, Four Winged Eagle, using his remaining Qi energy. The eagle flew in a circle so fast as to block the fire by creating a wind vortex.
Unfortunately, its attempt was futile. The fireballs that were launched from that Gun-like artifact was clearly too much for Ling's Martial Spirit to handle.
The Blood Spear broke into pieces from the backlash and soon evaporated due to the extreme heat once Ling had no Qi energy left to maintain its shape.
Both of his arms were burnt and charred, Ling was lucky that it only affected his skin so he still managed to move them a bit.
Ling's body almost gave up, his mind began to fade as his sight gradually blurred out. However, his pride as a cultivator and a warrior would not let him pass out just yet.
