Li Yuanba, along with the white lotus under his feet, disappeared, causing the Fire Phoenix to miss and explode where he had been standing, transforming into a sea of flames.
The Wisdom Fire Arhat's second Fire Phoenix was released but was momentarily unable to lock onto Li Yuanba's figure.
That was because Li Yuanba's figure was elusive, continually appearing and disappearing at various places across the battlefield within a short span of time.
Li Yuanba's Xingyi Sword shot out, slashing towards the Wisdom Fire Arhat, who was protected by a barrier formed by a Fire Dragon, a transformation of the Fire Dragon Cover magical treasure.
When the Xingyi Sword struck the Fire Dragon barrier, it received a backlash of fire properties.
However, this backlash was immediately cleansed by the Sword Intent on the Xingyi Sword itself, indicating that the Fire Dragon Cover was not merely a defensive treasure but also featured a counter-attack capability.
