Although the firelight burst, Yuan Ming showed no joy on his face because the exploding firelight was also blocked by an invisible barrier, leaving the dark figure unharmed.
However, this was all within Yuan Ming's expectations.
Through the range of the spreading firelight and the shape of the obstruction, he made out the invisible barrier encircling the dark figure at a distance of about a foot, which wasn't very large.
Understanding the situation gave Yuan Ming some confidence, and he quickly made a decision.
Since neither magical powers nor Soul Destroying Sword Energy could damage the barrier, he would have to forcefully break through and try using the Body of Wanxiang to shatter this defense.
With his plan in mind, Yuan Ming immediately grasped the Soul Sword tightly with his five fingers, his body transforming into a shadow that merged with the ground.
