For the first time, Hong Nianyi's Illusion faltered, its movements clearly sluggish.
On the left arm of the faint golden figure, the Dark Gold Flame burned, quiet but stubborn, constantly eroding the Energy that formed her body.
She "glanced down" at the flame on her arm. Her blurry face seemed to turn, "looking" toward Xu Wuyi once more.
Her gaze seemed to hold a hint of… scrutiny.
Barely a minute had passed since the battle began.
Xu Wuyi was drenched in his own blood. Blade marks covered his shoulders, chest, stomach, and legs, some so deep they exposed bone. His Qi and Blood were being consumed at a ferocious rate.
But he had succeeded.
He had planted the Undying Flame on his opponent.
Sure enough, the movements of Hong Nianyi's Illusion had become sluggish.
The flame clung to her like a tenacious poison, burning without end and forcing her to divert a portion of her Spirit to resist it.
This was Xu Wuyi's only chance!
