The round moon hung high in the sky, quietly watching the Sky Witches below who were about to engage in battle. The shadow upon it showed no discernible change, but every Sky Witch knew it was gradually growing larger and accelerating.
Ming Lei grasped the ribbon, and a dim flame instantly ignited in his hand, but for every flame that sprang up, an invisible force would extinguish it. In the brief standoff lasting mere breaths, hundreds of ghost fires appeared and vanished, while Ming Lei's hand remained steady, and the ribbon was unable to advance or retreat.
You Feng snorted, halting the ghost fire. Once the ghost fire stopped, Ming Lei also released his grip, and the ribbon flew back into You Feng's hand, ceasing its assault on the Flame Demon.
