Madam Guo'an's eyes blazed with anger as she instinctively waved her sleeve, attempting to dispel the dancing blue spiritual purifying fire. To her astonishment, the fire erupted into brilliant sparks with a resounding bang, its flames soaring higher.

Qiao Mu observed the scene closely, noting that a black spiritual armor had manifested on the man's arm, preventing the blue spirit flames from penetrating. The flames merely danced around the outer layer for a few seconds before vanishing silently.
