After recognizing Ximing, Yue Jinghua secretly thought that he had indeed returned to the Divine Court, wondering what Guo Ziyu would feel upon seeing him.
The flames spewed from the Liu Xing Dark Fire Array were intensely hot; to protect Sha Xi, Ximing directly faced the Dark Fire.
The mask covering his face melted straight away, scalding half of his face in the process.
"Useless creature," Sha Xi did not appreciate Ximing's protective stand, instead, she slapped him across his already injured face, prompting indignation among observers like Shalman, who were eager to argue with her.
"My apologies for being useless and disturbing the Divine Goddess," Ximing knelt on one knee and lowered his head in guilt.
Ximing's practice was a Dark Skill called "Fog Evil," which, once infected, mired the victim in a quagmire of fog, slowing their movement and hindering Dark Energy flow.
