A violent explosion, accompanied by a scorching wave of heat, slapped against Qin Zi's back, increasing his escape speed once more.

A mocking voice sounded from behind, and Qin Zi despairingly turned his head, only to find the old man slowly emerging from the flames.
Around him, a thickening jet-black gas swirled, like a dark cloud slowly enveloping the area...
