Wu Yu had assumed that leaving the Flaming Devil Cave meant that he was safe.

But who knew that the Holy Master of the Flaming Devil Cave would make an appearance?

And it seemed to be specifically targeted at him....

The Somersault Cloud required at least a somersault to leave, but Wu Yu was currently in his opponent's grip.

This Holy Master of the Flaming Devil Cave had at least passed the three dao crises, and might even be a demigod-level being. Wu Yu had been guarding against such entities, but he had bungled it up this time. He might have made a fatal mistake.

If not for Ye Xixi pestering Wu Yu into lingering, Wu Yu would have been long gone.

Originally, he had been poised to leave while the going was good, after killing the Ghostly Artificer. But a moment's tardiness had yanked him back to the brink of deadly defeat.

But this was cultivation. Death could rear its head at any place, no matter how safe it was.

Wu Yu had considered such situations in the Infernal Inferno. Therefore, he was not completely undone by his fear at this time.
