Two figures fell from the scattered specks of light.
It was Huowu and Quanyi.
Their faces were slightly pale, and a look of exhaustion flowed across their faces.
The final series of operations consumed almost all of their remaining soul power, causing the martial soul fusion skill to passively dissipate.

Quanyi looked towards Huowu and saw that Huowu was already in a semi-conscious state.
"Crap."
In the air, Quanyi braced himself and grabbed Huowu's body, quickly adjusting his posture in the air to land steadily.
Quanyi landed on both feet, his hands firmly holding Huowu, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.
"Mm."
Huowu dazedly opened her eyes, the familiar warmth and scent filling her heart with a sense of security.
"Are you okay?" Seeing Huowu open her eyes, Quanyi's heart relaxed slightly.
"I'm okay."
Weakness swept through her body, but her spirit was incomparably excited.
"I never thought, never thought, after rampaging through the martial world for so many years, I would actually be played by you kids. Embarrassing, embarrassing."
He hadn't anticipated the final blow.
The speed of the 'red threads' was too fast, even if he had reacted, he couldn't have dodged the speed of light.
Moreover, the shield attacked his excruciatingly painful right hand.
This feeling was like the pain of a man suddenly being struck in his vital spot.
That sudden blow was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
"Dad, let me help you absorb the Fiery Evil out first. Xiaoyi."
Quanyi nodded, then, holding Huowu, walked to Huowuxie's side.
Upon getting closer, Huowu extended her right hand to help Huowuxie absorb the Fiery Evil from his body.
Huowuxie's right hand was still shaking violently, and upon getting closer, Quanyi also noticed that Huowuxie's forehead was sweating and his face was pale.
It was clear that Huowuxie was enduring extreme pain, but except for the very last moment, he didn't reveal any signs of pain on his face.
A sense of respect arose spontaneously.
As Huowu absorbed it, a crimson red light appeared from his right arm and was absorbed into Huowu's palm.
"Such pure energy," Huowu exclaimed.
Absorbing the energy of the Fiery Evil instantly filled Huowu's empty body with pure energy.
Even though she only absorbed a small portion of the energy, her soul power was greatly replenished.
Her weak and pale complexion also visibly improved.
By the time she absorbed all of the Fiery Evil, Huowu's meridians even felt a sense of swelling.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaowu."
Watching the Fiery Evil turn into fire elements and be reabsorbed by Huowu, Huowuxie could feel the pain disappear.
"Hahahaha. Good, good. You two really know how to give me surprises."
Huowuxie vigorously patted Quanyi's shoulder, his eyes filled with praise and approval.
"Alright, alright. I know you're happy, but shouldn't we first consider how to deal with this mess?"
At this time, Huowu's mother slowly walked over.
She supported her forehead, her tone filled with helplessness.
Following behind her, Huowushuang was also staring at Quanyi and Huowu in disbelief, giving them both a thumbs up.

With his aunt's reminder, Quanyi finally began to notice the surrounding devastation.
The originally idyllic and harmonious courtyard had suffered a devastating blow.
Floor tiles were cracked, and flowers and plants were burned.
There were still sporadic spots of fire throughout the courtyard.
In particular, the center of the Blazing Sun Spear explosion had left a huge pit.
The beautiful fountain that was originally there had disappeared without leaving a single fragment.
After looking around, Quanyi also calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Auntie," Quanyi said apologetically.
"No, this isn't your fault. Husband, tell me, what should we do about this?"
The gentle aunt's eyes were now filled with pressure.
"Wife, these are just external things, don't worry too much. Besides, our residence is still very intact, isn't it?" Huowuxie also explained awkwardly.
The imposing and domineering academy dean was helpless in the face of his daughter and wife.
"Alas~, I really hope you can change your explosive personality and not be so impulsive. Fighting in the courtyard, I really don't know what you were thinking."
"Alright, Xiaoyi, it's getting late today, stay here tonight. We have many spare rooms here."
Huowu's mother noticed Quanyi's fatigue and thoughtfully invited him to stay.
"Thank you, Auntie, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Quanyi didn't stand on ceremony; controlling the martial soul fusion skill to fight a Soul Sage was far more tiring than he had imagined.
Then she led Quanyi and Huowu to find rooms to rest.
"You don't need to follow us, clean up the mess first, then you can come in." The aunt's lips curled into a gentle smile, but her eyes were filled with icy expressions.
Clearly, she was still angry with Huowuxie.
"Okay, don't worry." Huowuxie's body stiffened, and cold sweat broke out all over him.
He immediately organized the servants to clean up and extinguish the flames.
Not long after, a team of city guards arrived outside the door.
"The City Guard, Twelfth Squad Captain, Shiying, has come to provide support. Has there been an attack?"
Huowu's home was located in the inner city, a place heavily guarded, and the sound of the explosion and the fire had attracted their attention, so they arrived as quickly as possible.
"Alas~, next time, don't fight in the house." The chaotic situation gave Huowuxie a headache and also made him feel regretful.
Huowu's mother's name was Wuya.
Wuya first took them to Huowu's room.
Walking to the door of the room, Huowu was still tightly hugging Quanyi, unwilling to get down.
"Alright, Xiaowu, Xiaoyi is also very tired, let's rest quickly today." Huowu's little thoughts were exposed in front of Wuya.
"Okay."
Huowu was put down by Quanyi.
However, before pushing open the door and entering the room, Huowu suddenly turned around and hugged Quanyi, and then, before Quanyi could react, she rushed into her room and quickly closed the door.
"This little girl." Wuya shook her head with a smile.
Quanyi also smiled foolishly.
"Alright, I'll take you to your room."
Inside the Huo family's guest room, Quanyi dragged his exhausted body onto the soft bed.
Although he was very tired, his spirit was excited and he couldn't fall asleep.
Everything that happened today made his soul excited: Huowu, the martial soul fusion skill, the battle with the Soul Sage - all of this was a life experience that Quanyi had never imagined.
This also filled him with passion and anticipation for the future.
"The responsibility on my shoulders is a bit heavier, I still need to continue working hard, Quanyi."
Looking at the ceiling, Quanyi reminded himself.
