If it weren't for the fire-resistant coating with the same sinister qi attribute that Li Fan also possessed, after a few scuffles with this demonic beast, he would have likely been burnt to a crisp by these flames.
Fortunately, although this demonic wolf had attained the realm of transforming into a god, it was after all a beast of the monster kind. It must have had some luck to evolve into a being of half-sinister and half-spiritual qi, but its actual prowess was just so-so. It had no brains for fighting and didn't stop to consider how Li Fan could exchange blows with it amidst the sinister fire without getting hurt.
