As top-ranking practitioners, it's hard to sense each other's presence unless they're extremely close in proximity. Xiahou Zong's primary target was Shi Xiaole, causing top-ranking practitioners like Ai Yinglong to fail to notice him.
The moment trouble reared its head, Ai Yinglong and others swooped in.
The man wrapped in flames was none other than Xiahou Zong. Without wasting words, he readied his strike and threw a punch that exploded mid-air into two massive red and black fireballs.
Within the sweep of the fireballs, the area was ablaze for hundreds of meters around him. Within the epicenter, an area of fifty meters radiated brilliant red, greatly affecting everyone's line of sight.
"Yama's Noose!"
An obscure shadow filled with a death-like aura suddenly swooped towards Shi Xiaole. Even the scorching Palm Power automatically receded as if swallowed by it.
The one who struck was an ugly elder from the Tianyan Sect.
