I opened my eyes abruptly, my hand still tightly gripping the shield that Senior Sun Erniang had given me. A burning pain flared in my chest, feeling as though a ball of fire was raging inside. Glancing down, I saw a large hole scorched into the front of my shirt, though thankfully the skin beneath was unharmed.
"That was close!" I wiped away a cold sweat, feeling a lingering wave of terror. If Senior Sun Erniang hadn't stepped in just in time, I probably would have already reported to the underworld by now.
"You brat, have you got a death wish?!" Xuanfeng rushed over, yanked me to my feet, and checked me over from head to toe. Only when he saw I was truly unhurt did he let out a breath. "Do you have any idea how dangerous that was just now? That's Murong Fu's signature technique, the Blazing Flame Palm! Take a hit like that and you'll either be dead or stripped of a layer of skin!"
