When it came to fire, Senior A Xia still had a ways to go before she could match Dong Qing, but that didn't mean she was weak in that regard.
If Dong Qing was a strong fifth-level Awakened, then Senior A Xia was at least a weak fifth-level one. She might have struggled to face a leader like Baizhang alone, but dealing with this Underground Race freak who had already been captured was a piece of cake.
A body that was truly impervious to fire was rare. Earlier, when Dong Qing blanketed the area with a rain of fire, this man had actually relied on hiding in the shallow soil, using the ground to evade her attacks.
Now, though, his body was completely restrained and dangled in midair, unable to move. Under the sustained assault of Senior A Xia's powerful Fireball Technique, he naturally went up in flames like a human torch.
At death's door, members of the Underground Race were no different from Surface Humans. They felt pain, fear, and despair, and they screamed.
This man had been one of the top five fighters in the adventurer group and Baizhang's most trusted subordinate. His strength could also be considered that of a weak fifth-level Awakened.
Compared to a strong fifth-level fighter like Baizhang, he was clearly weaker. But thanks to his clever methods, nimble movement, and skill at hiding, he could often take on missions that even Baizhang couldn't manage.
Take this stealth attack, for example. Baizhang could never have carried it out so precisely, or operated so discreetly.
Unfortunately, he hadn't run into ordinary Surface Humans. He'd run into the top team in the Surface World—and found himself in a one-sided slaughter.
Baizhang and that little tentacled fairy were actually outstanding among the Underground Race. Otherwise, they wouldn't
