Seeing the entrance to its cave abode blasted into a complete mess, the high-grade Flame Rat flew into a towering rage. Its crimson fur stood on end in the wind, rippling like flames.
When Old Ghost Feng saw that the Flame Rat had emerged, he immediately directed the puppet to retreat. Man and beast slowly backed away.
The Flame Rat opened its tiny mouth and spewed a powerful blast of fire at Old Ghost Feng. Old Ghost Feng did not panic at the sight. He had crossed paths with this demonic beast several times and was already thoroughly familiar with its abilities.
As the flames came rushing toward him, Old Ghost Feng swiftly formed a hand seal with his right hand and calmly released a wall of water to block the blazing fire. After stopping the flames, he slapped a Divine Movement Talisman onto himself and accelerated his retreat.
Seeing the detestable human cultivator who had repeatedly harassed its cave abode trying to flee again, the Flame Rat furiously leaped after him. A high-grade Flame Rat was incredibly fast, quickly closing the distance to Old Ghost Feng. Along the way, it spat out more than a dozen blasts of fire, leaving even Old Ghost Feng struggling to hold it off.
Once he saw that the Flame Rat had moved far away from the cave entrance, Old Ghost Feng hurriedly shouted toward the distance, "Fellow Daoist Song, quickly cut off the demonic beast's retreat!"
Back when the White Tiger Puppet had first made its move, Song Qingming had already taken advantage of the chaos to circle around to the side of the Flame Rat's cave abode. Seeing Old Ghost Feng lure the Flame Rat away, Song Qingming swiftly revealed himself and moved in to block its rear, cutting off its escape
