Exposure

Crack, crack, crack…

The invisible Infernal Heavenly Flames kept burning, and Shao Yi was visibly struggling.

Despite being protected by spiritual source, after being exposed to such scorching power of such a peculiar nature for such a long time, his body had been burned red hot all the same. 

A faint steam could be seen rising, and there was the smell of burned flesh in the air.

"Judging by the time, Kong should be a long way away by now..." 

Shao Yi struggled to keep himself together as he resisted the pain. He had little spiritual source left at the moment, and if he were to stay around any longer, he probably wouldn't be able to run. 

"Thinking that you've bought enough time and that it's time to run, eh?"

That cold voice was heard once again, sending shivers down Shao Yi's spine.

"Is this guy really human?" he thought. "How is it possible that he always knows what I'm thinking?"
