Chapter 139

Before she could even finish her sentence, the flames enveloping Xiaoqiang’s body dissipated without a trace. Xiaoqiang, who had only been slightly scorched, glanced at the young girl with a look of utter indifference, then spoke with disdain: "Is that it? To someone like me, that didn't hurt or tickle at all!" A hundred paces away, Yelin, who had been chanting an incantation, couldn't help but offer a bitter smile. "That Fire Demon General is truly formidable. If I hadn't promptly cast the Vajra Indestructible Steel Armor Technique—learned from my master—to bolster Xiaoqiang’s physical body, he likely would have suffered a minor injury. And that’s considering Xiaoqiang has practiced numerous body-tempering techniques and consumed countless Five-Element spirit herbs to forge his physique. For an ordinary Early Core Formation cultivator, that single arrow alone would have been enough to send them to their grave." Yelin rarely used the Vajra Indestructible Steel Armor Technique, simply because his Spirit Insects had never encountered an enemy on par with the Heavenly Demon King; there had been no foes capable of posing a genuine threat, so Yelin never had the opportunity to use it.
