Xiao Xiao seemed oblivious to Ye Qingchen's intentions, continuing to vigorously control the flames attacking him. After all, simultaneously controlling hundreds of strands of flame was exceedingly demanding on one's spiritual power.
Ye Qingchen's body twisted and turned. Although he had pushed the Fire Spirit Charm Shadow to its limits, some flames still managed to catch up with him. This forced him to stop and use the Wind Blade Sword Technique to contend with them. He was less than a hundred meters away from Xiao Xiao, but this short distance felt as long as a century.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he eventually closed in on Xiao Xiao. Seizing the opportunity, he instantly used an afterimage technique and vanished from the arena.
