What the Artifact Spirit had been shocked by was that it had only asked Hanyu, that bastard, to help someone achieve the Four Great Emptinesses.
It hadn't meant for him to remain in that state for the rest of his life!
It hadn't expected Hanyu to be so ruthless, directly summoning Divine Fire and setting it alight beneath Su Xiaoxiao's crotch.
"Why'd you burn him there, chirp?"
"Didn't you say the Four Great Emptinesses?"
Hanyu looked innocent. That was the only way he could think of to achieve the Four Great Emptinesses.
The Artifact Spirit's expression grew complicated. This was, at least on the surface, one of their own. Was it really appropriate to be so merciless?
"You could've just kicked him in the crotch!"
Do you hear yourself?
Hanyu felt that the Artifact Spirit was even more cruel than he was. Given his physical strength, if he kicked Su Xiaoxiao in the crotch, what would be left of that thing?
If he burned him with Divine Fire, he'd only need to recuperate a little. At least he'd still have it.
"It's burning me! So hot!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who had been immersed in the illusion, suddenly doubled over and fell, slapping at his crotch with both hands as he rolled around.
The spot was too sensitive. He'd wanted to wash it with Star River, but quickly stopped himself.
Hanyu immediately recalled the Divine Fire. Only then did he see that Su Xiaoxiao's crotch was charred black. As for whether the burn had reached the root, only Su Xiaoxiao himself could say.
"You..."
Su Xiaoxiao scrambled to his feet, furious, and shouted, "Why did you burn me there?"
Hanyu couldn't help rolling his eyes. He pointed toward the ghosts still surging forward beyond the field of fire and pursed his lips.
