Husband and wife are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly off on their own.
What more for the likes of the Sky-Devil King and the man in black—two who joined forces halfway through their journey?
As the two fled desperately, Shen Hui and the others hurried after them. The fiery red lotus of the Buddhist disciple, truly a seed of divine power, was profoundly mystical.
As the immense red lotus radiance bloomed, wherever its light touched, the weaker demons and heretical cultivators seemed to ignite, bursting into flames that could not be extinguished.
The red lotus light seemed to also possess a delaying effect; the Sky-Devil King felt a weightiness upon him, his speed slightly decreased, allowing the Buddhist disciple and others to intercept him.
The man in black spat out another mouthful of blood, used a secret technique to break free from the constraints of the red lotus light, and then fled toward the mountains beyond.
