Lin Ye's defenses were torn apart in an instant.
Scorching flames burned his left arm.
The searing pain nearly made him lose his grip on the broken sword.
"Damn it!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth.
Void Ace gave him no chance to catch his breath.
His three-meter-tall body lunged like lightning.
His claws reached straight for Lin Ye's face.
