After a tender reprimand, a black flame flew out and suddenly transformed into a glossy black bird about ten feet in size.
This bird merely spread its wings, and somehow leaped over thirty feet, appearing behind the elder, pouncing forward.
The black-robed elder was clearly no ordinary mortal. Although he hadn't turned around, he seemed already aware of everything happening behind him. Without thinking, he let out a loud roar, his sleeve flinging backward, while the other hand touched his heavenly spiritual covering. Instantly, a gray small banner and a jade fan appeared behind him, transforming into a thick gray-green radiance, enveloping his form completely.
But an unbelievable scene unfolded!
The black bird, upon colliding with the radiance, instantly turned into fierce black flames.
