The flames ascended.
The priest's right hand was engulfed by fire in an instant, but he didn't shrink back; on the contrary, he kept a firm grip on Fang Zheng's sword blade, while extending his left hand and suddenly hurled another dagger toward Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng quickly blocked it again with the silver short sword in his left hand.
However, it did not seem the priest intended to kill Fang Zheng with this move; instead, after throwing the dagger, he immediately released his right hand and retreated, quickly putting distance between himself and Fang Zheng. All the while, the priest's right hand continued to burn fiercely. Fang Zheng could even hear the sizzling sounds of his flesh being scorched by the flames.
Although it looked painful, the priest's expression did not change; he simply glared coldly at Fang Zheng before speaking.
"It appears with my current equipment, it's very difficult to fight you, heretic. Next time, next time I will definitely kill you all!"
