The distant, ritual-performing fiend spotted Li Huowang. It swiftly flipped over and threw two black Banners, which stabbed into the ground to Li Huowang's left and right. Then, it plunged the Peach Wood Sword in its hand, wreathed in black mist, forcefully into the earth.
In an instant, the black mist from the Peach Wood Sword surged underground. A bizarre Talisman, formed from a circle of esoteric characters, rapidly materialized with Li Huowang at its center.
Seeing this, Li Huowang was not about to simply wait for death. He immediately tried to leap out of the Talisman's range.
But just as he moved, the fiend's hands flashed through a seal. The two triangular black Banners beside him floated up and, faster than a clap of thunder, pierced through the tops of Li Huowang's feet, pinning him to the spot.
Now, Li Huowang's legs were as if welded to the ground. No matter what he did, he couldn't move at all.
