Ma Hongjun's flames were different from those of ordinary fire-type Soul Masters.
Their heat was not their main means of inflicting damage. What was truly terrifying was their ability to keep burning.
Once they stuck, they were very hard to shake off.
This move was utterly useless against Jiang Che.
They were hard to shake off once they stuck, but they had to touch him first.
He deployed his Qi Condensation Shield.
What happened next left everyone present dumbstruck.
In everyone's eyes, Jiang Che charged toward Ma Hongjun while taking the flame ray head-on.
In reality, however, the flame ray never touched Jiang Che directly. It was blocked by the Qi Condensation Shield.
Ma Hongjun was also stunned by the scene before him.
Jiang Che closed in on Ma Hongjun.
Sensing the threat from the man before him, Ma Hongjun wreathed his fist in flames and drove it straight at Jiang Che's face.
Jiang Che did not dodge. Several Blue Silver vines rapidly grew from the ground and bound Ma Hongjun's arm tight.
However, the Blue Silver vines did not last even three seconds on Ma Hongjun's arm before they burned to nothing!
Ma Hongjun did not pursue him. He took two steps back to put some distance between them, his gaze noticeably more serious as he stared at Jiang Che.
Unexpectedly, more Blue Silver vines came winding toward Ma Hongjun.
"Paltry tricks!"
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"
Under the scorching flames, every Blue Silver vine burned to ashes!
Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the smoke from the burning Blue Silver vines obscuring his vision, Jiang Che had already closed in on Ma Hongjun, and his Blue Silver saber slashed across Ma Hongjun's chest.
Ma Hongjun crashed heavily to the ground.
Naturally, Jiang Che had held back with that slash
