At that moment, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao were certainly in no good shape either.
Flung away by the explosion's shock wave and drained of Soul Power, they had barely avoided falling straight into the scalding lake water thanks to a patch of ice Huo Yuhao had frozen with the last of his Soul Power.

But there were no ifs in this Soul Fighting match. Tempered through countless matches in the Half-Plane, Ji Juechen knew full well that once the Liches unleashed their forbidden-spell-level magic, the match was over. He had given the pair no chance at all to finish building up their ultimate attack.
