553 Subduing a Fifth-Order Spirit Flame_1

```

A vast and boundless black forest, the air filled with the stench of decay.

An ear-shattering roar came from the depths of the forest, as a black ray shot out from deep within, moving swiftly.

Ghostly cries of "woo woo" were heard; as the void fluctuated, a black ghost claw materialized out of nowhere, striking the black ray accurately.

With a "bang," the black ray crashed to the ground, revealing an injured black bear covered in scars.

A faint black light darted toward it, and just as the black bear prepared to defend itself, a piercing ghostly cry sounded.

The black bear suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.

The black light entered the black bear's left eye and flew out from the back of its skull, leaving the black bear lifeless.

A chilly wind blew as a tall young man in black appeared, his presence saturated with yin qi.

With a single gesture, a black flying needle flew towards him, disappearing into his sleeve.
