But just then, a crimson feather suddenly appeared in front of him. As this flame-like feather appeared, a terrifying blaze immediately arose between Li Sansi and Xiao Qiang. The fire lunged towards Xiao Qiang, forcing him to release his grip.

This was not heartlessness but an unyielding determination in his Taoist heart!
Differing paths do not make common plans!
Facing the intense flames, a maniacal expression burst forth from Xiao Qiang. He ignored Yu Yuexi's attack completely, let out a wild howl and the Swimming Dragon sword was activated by him.
