"What is this thing?"
Ao Jian and Ao Tian, the protectors, flew high into the sky, looking down at the hundred-mile radius that had turned into a black sea of fire, their hearts pounding with fear.
They had no doubt that if they had been even a little slower, they would have been devoured by the black flames, not even bones or scraps left behind.
"It seems like some kind of hellfire, but how can a dying person without self-awareness release such powerful flames?"
"Isn't that to say, he was being backlashed by karmic forces?"
"Something's not right, don't rashly attack him, let's just observe the changes!"
The two did not continue to act and began to watch.
Suddenly, they saw the black flames, after exploding and expanding, start to rapidly contract, compressing to within a yard of Xiao Chen as the center.
Xiao Chen appeared still unconscious, the dense black flames burning fiercely, quickly submerging him completely.
"How come it's burning him now?"
