With a single strike, Bradman not only extinguished every flame on the stake, but also directly forced Saga and the other two back. The gap in their strength was obvious at a glance.
For a time, no one dared to attack Bradman again.
Yet after the flames atop the stake were extinguished, a mass of white fire suddenly rose in their place. The flames carried an indescribable heat; even Li, standing at a distance, felt that they were untouchable. He took a deep breath, knowing that these flames were far from as simple as they appeared.
By then, the flames atop the stake had spread into a continuous blaze. Li looked toward Layla in black. Her figure already appeared somewhat distorted, yet he could still tell that she was watching Bradman fight.
Shaka, standing beside Zeref, sighed softly. Looking at Bradman before him, he began to radiate a blinding light, which in an instant became so intense it seemed almost tangible. He slowly rose into the sky and went to meet Bradman.
"Lord Shaka, it has been a long time." Bradman slowly reined in his aura and greeted Shaka.
Shaka's aura was exceptionally vigorous. It seemed that his previous battle with Li had not caused him much harm, and he had actually recovered to his peak condition.
Shaka looked at Bradman and slowly sighed. "To be honest, I never imagined there would be a day like this."
Bradman turned to glance at Layla in black. Then his aura began to surge wildly, and a tangible radiance started circling endlessly around his body.
Bradman then let out a long howl. With a sweep of his hand, a massive blade condensed from light appeared in his grasp, and he slashed it down at Shaka!
The light around Shaka also grew increasingly brilliant.
