The Fire Slave flew back a thousand meters before throwing a punch at the sword light, shattering it and barely managing to steady himself.
Then Xiao Heng threw a punch straight ahead. In the next instant, a sword slashed directly into his fist. A tremendous force erupted, the blade sinking three inches into his flesh before catching on bone. Xiao Heng twisted his sword and followed with a kick, sending the Fire Slave flying once more.
Honestly, Xiao Heng felt no sense of accomplishment in fighting an opponent like this. It was like beating a wooden dummy. Whether in speed, strength, or combat reflexes, he completely overwhelmed it.
Watching the Fire Slave barely stabilize itself again, Xiao Heng closed in once more and drove his sword straight through its chest.
Just as Xiao Heng was about to press the attack and kill the thing in one go, a burst of white flame suddenly shot out from the Fire Slave's chest, racing toward his face. At the same time, a fist closed in on his chest.
That was the convenience of puppets. They felt no pain and feared neither life nor death. If one did not possess overwhelming strength, it was entirely possible to suffer at the hands of such a thing.
As the flames surged toward him, Xiao Heng mobilized his Dou Qi and blocked them. Then he threw a punch, colliding with the Fire Slave's fist and blasting it away again.
This time, however, Xiao Heng did not hurry after it. He seized the milky white flame, and Five Elements power appeared in his hand, condensing into a Five Elements wheel. He infused it with Devouring Power, then... slowly devoured the flame completely.
"As expected of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The power of these flames truly is exceptional...!"
