Lin Dong was astonished by the power of the explosion. He did not think he could create an explosion that large.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you didn't blow yourself up, did you?"
As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, Xiao Yan charged out of the explosion.
Though he looked utterly bedraggled, he had not suffered any serious injuries.
It was clear that Xiao Yan had truly maxed out his fire resistance.

"That didn't kill him? His life is really tough. Brother Xiao Yan, do you have any other options?"
Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

"Don't underestimate me, Lin Dong. If we don't eliminate him today, my Martial Realm will face the same catastrophe
