Elder Zhu made his move.
The Ice-Fire Melting Break went out of control after Hu Jing released it. She couldn't make it detonate like an Ice-Fire Combination Talisman, but against Song Zhong's powerful Defense Array, it produced the same effect.
Had Zhu Jun not intervened, the entire area would have been leveled.
A giant Dharma Wheel, imbued with an unknown Defensive Array, blocked the fierce blast of the Ice-Fire Melting Break. But Elder Zhu, who was right there, was left covered in dust, and his beloved Magical Artifact had actually developed cracks.
As for Song Zhong, he was sent flying by the shockwave head-on. He was too close to the blast and was knocked unconscious, completely helpless.
Hu Jing herself was stunned by the scene. 'I… I really didn't expect this, not in the slightest. I acted purely on instinct.'
The massive arena on Fire Cloud Square… was gone.
