Yu Sui had set up the barrier again at Thousand Foot Cliff, keeping Bei Shan and Duan Mingde outside.
Bei Shan dragged Duan Mingde, whose whole body was burning, out of the Scorching Sun Array and retreated far from the entrance to Thousand Foot Cliff.
Duan Mingde angrily put out the flames. The back of his hand was badly burned, its skin peeling. Furious enough to kill someone, he still couldn't actually kill Nangong Sui, which only made him angrier. He couldn't help cursing.

He really needed to calm
