"Ah!"
One-Horn's palm burned to ash, and panic flashed across his face as he hurriedly withdrew his arm.
But it was already too late. Like poison that corroded the bones, the flames spread along his extended arm. Wherever they passed, it took less than half a breath for everything to turn to ash.
"This is bad!"
Nie Yun's expression changed when he saw how quickly the flames were spreading.
The flames were consuming One-Horn's arm far too quickly. Once they spread to his body, he himself likely would not be able to withstand them.
Whoosh!
With a flash, he arrived before One-Horn. He pointed through the air, and a longsword appeared.

Seeing that the arm had
