In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.
Meanwhile, the shimmering bubble phantom slightly flickered, causing the white light it had emitted to dim slightly, and actually allowed the green figure transformed from the giant head spirit to struggle free by a fraction.
The green figure immediately shouted in elation upon seeing this and hurled another fierce shout at the demonically transformed Lan Xi!
Just as Liu Ming's body was about to crash into the cave wall behind him, he managed in anger and alarm to muster his magical power and stop his backward flight. Then, looking down at his chest, he was horrified to see his flesh there was a bloody, indistinct mess.
The several Red Sea Dragon scales that he had put in place over vital spots for extra protection were now shockingly shattered apart.
