"Rumble!"
Without needing many words, the Thunder Spirit and the god statue instantly erupted into battle!
The moment the battle began,
Zong Liu immediately felt a wave of pressure. His shrine was suppressed once again, and the god statue was likewise far inferior to the Thunder Spirit. However, the mysterious divine patterns around the god statue, which seemed fluid, rapidly changed.

Jiang Qiao spoke in a low voice.
This was an application of the Path of Incense and Fire—and a dazzlingly ingenious one at that!
Normally,
most people treated "incense" merely as a tool.
As a means of
