And at that moment...
"BOOM!!" A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion rang out. The Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff blasted the Black-Robed Cultivator into oblivion, leaving not even his bones behind. Countless Red-Light Flames burned his entire physical body to ash...
"AOOOW!!" A mass of black light let out earth-shaking howls of rage, trying to escape the Red-Light Flame. But the Power of Fire Laws within those flames seemed to have eyes, madly surging over to engulf it...
In an instant...
"AAAH!!" An utterly agonized scream erupted from within the flames, and the mass turned to ash...
Clearly.
The Demonic Infant of the monster the Black-Robed Cultivator had become had failed to escape...

"RUMBLE!!" The Astral Wind unleashed by Li Xiaoya's staff strike slammed straight into the ground. The earth shook violently, sending countless rocks flying. A furrow so long its end was out of sight erupted with searing flames, blasting forward across the land...
"...!" Watching this, Li Xiaoya sighed inwardly. Just moments ago, he had been lamenting how many lives the Red Dragon Elder's self-detonation had destroyed. And now, barely any time later, he had done something like this himself...
Suddenly!
"Third Brother!!" Before Li Xiaoya could dwell on it, a furious roar shot into the sky. Boss Fei bellowed in utter rage, his face deathly pale. His nearly severed arm had recovered at some point. Seeing Li Xiaoya kill his longtime partner with a single blow, he roared in shock and fury...
Yet.
What was that sensation just now? Li Xiaoya recalled that terrifying feeling from a moment earlier. Boss Fei's entire body erupted with astonishing black qi. At some point, an exceedingly slender saber had appeared in his hand, and he shot toward Li Xiaoya. Clearly, Boss Fei's Body Tempering Technique was no empty boast...
In fact.
