Gu Fei rushed up with his sword held aloft and closed the distance between the two parties in the blink of an eye. Flame Singed Clothes hurriedly raised his magic staff and was about to start his incantation, but...
"Palatial Balefire, is it? I know," Gu Fei said this to him.

"Palatial Balefire! Rise!" Flame Singed Clothes yelled. The enemy was already expecting what he was about to cast, anyway, so there was no need to subvocalize it like what he would usually do; yelling it loudly might just help increase the aural impact.
When he finished the incantation, a wall of fire rose. However, Gu Fei was already in front of the spell, and was already pointing his sword at him in the next moment. "Electric Wall!"
