"Oh, crap, I just told you." the Heart Demon said gleefully.
Xiao Buli's mind raced, hoping to find a way to turn the situation around; he had no time to waste arguing with the Heart Demon. However, the situation at hand clearly gave him no room for further thought. Before he could fully rise to his feet, he felt a lightness under his feet, and the next moment, he was lifted upside-down by a giant tendril.
Xiao Buli circulated his True Qi, and a not-so-small Sunfire Spellball formed in the palm of his hand, launching towards the tendril that was wrapped around him with a bang. The tendril, seemingly less cautious than before, took the strike head-on. The area hit by the Sunfire Spellball turned immediately charred black, and the tendril seemed severely injured. Xiao Buli felt the grip around his ankle loosen, and he fell headfirst towards the ground.
