"Young master, save me!"
Her skin began to blacken and char, and the pink threads contracted violently.
The female cultivator staggered and crawled toward Xu Kai.
"Get lost."
He frowned and swept his right hand, sending a surge of spiritual power that knocked her already unsteady body far away.
Yet to his astonishment, the moment his spiritual power touched those flames, it too began to burn fiercely.
He immediately severed his connection to that strand of spiritual power, narrowly avoiding setting himself ablaze.
