A Tongue of Fire

A large, yellow snake slid on the ground, ready to pounce at its target, oblivious that its target was simply acting unaware of its arrival.

The snake was at True Disciple 4th realm, not bad for a beast that was so far away from the mountain range, and in the grassland.

Once it was ready, the snake suddenly jumped and bit its target. However, when it did, its target disappeared into a bunch of golden light. 

Out of the tall grasses, the real target emerged. Revealing itself to not be a target, but the attacker all along.

The snake slammed its tail at its target, but Pearl was ready for it. His body shined with golden light, and when the tail hit him, it did practically nothing.

At the same time, Pearl's claws extended forward, his paw starting to shine with golden lights as well.

The snake opened its mouth, sending a ball of fire toward Pearl, but Pearl simply ignored it. The fireball directly hit him, but Pearl emerged from it mostly unhurt.
