Chen Fan skewered Rui Chi's head, and blazing flames ignited.

Though Rui Chi was powerful, in his current state, how could he possibly withstand Chen Fan?

Even with only his head remaining, however, his vitality was still terrifyingly strong.

He had not died immediately.

Within the flames, Rui Chi howled and shrieked, his eyes filled with profound disbelief. "You... How dare you treat me like this?"
