"H-how... is that possible?!"
When Xiao Haoxuan saw Mo Xie take control of Heavenly Flame Funeral, the delight on his face at successfully casting advanced-level magic abruptly gave way to panic and tension.

D-damn it! No... I have to react, now...
Xiao Haoxuan bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to calm down and collect his thoughts.

He knew he could not keep this up. Otherwise, he would only be caught, and
