Corrupt Creations

Arwen heard Qiao Xuan's question, but she completely ignored him. There wasn't a place for him in her eyes, since all she could see was the man she had come for. Seth was carrying Serene on his arms and it was a bit harder for her to see his physical growth after so much time without seeing him, but just by feeling his aura, she was certain his strength had skyrocketed. Not only that, but he seemed more handsome and adult-like as well.

The Elf Queen quickly descended towards Seth, trying to hide the yearning smile she currently had behind a worried expression.

Seth looked up and watched Arwen coming down towards him. Just by looking at her, he was able to feel her royal presence and her mature demeanor.

Seth wasn't able to display how content he was at that moment only with his words, so just as Arwen finished stepping down on the ground, he approached her and made sure to steal her lips right there. That kiss wasn't the least sexualized, it was the form he chose to tell her how much he had missed being in her company.

Arwen felt his warmth and together with it, she felt his innermost feelings being transferred for her as well. It was something mystical and something only an ability like the Soul Link could produce, something indescribable and complete.

Arwen didn't ask Seth anything. After separating from him, she just told him to leave.

"Go. You must find a safer place for her. Don't worry, I can take care of everything around here."

Seth looked deeply into her eyes and after seeing the mild light they had, he decided to do as she had said.

Arwen wanted to tell him a lot of things and ask him a lot of questions, but it wasn't time for that yet.

"Alright." Immediately after agreeing with her, Seth channeled his Mana into his dark element, activating the Shadow Walk. But just as he was about to leave, a golden flash of light furiously charged towards him, like an arrow cutting through space.

Qiao Xuan's body merged with hat golden light, executing one of the deadliest skills the Lion's Pride Golden Palace had access to. He had concentrated a lot of Mana into that attack, creating a piercing golden ray that was practically unstoppable.

That skill was one of the quickest abilities he was able to execute, but the Mana cost was very high as well. However, nothing of that mattered for him anymore. After witnessing his target of admiration acting intimately with Velgor's disciple, all Qiao Xuan wanted to do now, was to rip him into shreds. No woman has caught his eyes as that elf had and he wouldn't allow anyone to have her, but him.

Unfortunately for Qiao Xuan, he was about to discover the real Evergreen Essence terror.

A thin golden line cut the whole environment in half, moving like lightning towards Seth. But before it could reach him, Arwen's figure suddenly appeared right in front of that golden light.

There was a dark green aura covering her body, but what attracted the most attention on her at that moment, was the blade that she was already holding. Except for that detailed handle, it was entirely made of green jade, a material that when combined with the dark green poisonous energy flowing around it, gave a really terrifying impression.

Arwen used that sword to stop that golden line of light, not letting it advance further.

The collision between those two powers, created a blast that pushed the air away and even destroying part of that valley. Two Mana Sovereign auras were entering in a dispute and nothing could stand in their way.

A conflict between Mana Sovereigns was something very complicated. Just now, everything had happened in less than a second and a practitioner two realms bellow them, would have been crushed just by the energy fluctuations that collision had generated.

Qiao Xuan's body was forced out of his merging state and in place of that golden line, his figure appeared while using a golden claw.

Both the jade sword and the golden claws were enhanced by the Mana of their respective users, and anyone who saw that moment they clashed against each other, would think they were in a deadlock.

However, Seth noticed Arwen was very calm and composed while Qiao Xuan was using everything he got to shake her off and reach him. Not even the energy fluctuations from their fight were able to reach him, since Arwen blocked everything.

Seth lightly smiled and finally started to run while being covered in shadows. His figure rapidly merged with the environment, vanishing from that area.

Qiao Xuan increased the quantity of Mana inside his skill, in an attempt to force Arwen out of his way, but even though the golden light started to shine brighter and even some golden lightning snakes started to crack on the surface of his claws, he wasn't able put enough pressure on her. In order to accomplish what he wanted; more power would be required.

Qiao Xuan wasn't able to feel it, but Arwen was not a "normal" Mana Sovereign cultivator anymore. She had already entered the middle-stage of the Mana Sovereign Realm. The simple fact that he was an initial-stage Mana Sovereign, while she was a stage higher, translated in the situation happening at that moment.

Arwen felt annoyed by Qiao Xuan's attitude of targeting Seth and her Evergreen Essence suddenly started to spiral around her body. It directly clashed against Qiao Xuan's golden energy and without any drama, it completely corroded those golden lightning snakes.

It happened so fast, that when Qiao Xuan realized it, his energy had already been corroded and the offensive force behind it was long gone.

"What the..."

Before he could even understand what had happened, the spiraling poisonous energy expanded and attacked his body.

Qiao Xuan felt a threatening sensation after entering in contact with that air and gave up his offensive efforts, to retreat. As he started to move backwards at a high speed, he suddenly saw his enemy charging forwards while pointing that green jade sword towards him. That same dark green poisonous aura, covered the entire blade, giving him a discomfort whenever he looked at it.

Impressively, Arwen's speed was a bit greater than his and she was able to reach the Lion King quite fast, but that just happened, because he was incapable of reusing his Mana properly after failing consecutive attempts of reaching Seth. In terms of physical strength and physical power, he was on a level above her.

Clang!

As that jade sword slashed down towards Qiao Xuan, he used his golden claws to defend and redirect the attack. Even though he trusted on his tough skin, he felt that if that green energy were to invade his body, he would have a hard time trying to expel it from inside his veins.

He felt fortunate to do it, when he saw the green energy he repelled, touching the ground and corroding it quite fast.

Clang! Clang!

They kept exchanging weapon blows, analyzing the opponent and trying to feel the extent of their abilities. But after a dozen of times exchanging strikes, Qiao Xuan was able to take advantage of his incredible muscular constitution to move away from her.

The battle stopped and he was finally able to feel how much Mana he had spent on those few rounds of battle. Qiao Xuan had lost a considerable high amount of Mana, trying to quickly dispose of Seth and defending against that green corrosive energy, but apart from that, there weren't any major problems. However, when he looked at Arwen and saw that she was just as perfect as the time she had appeared, some uncertainties started to rise within his heart.

"Goddess, why are you together with that man?" Qiao Xuan suddenly asked with indignation.

"..." Arwen was angry and didn't want to talk against an enemy she had already decided to kill.

"Goddess, you should abandon that man and come with me! He is not worthy of your attention! Look!" Qiao Xuan suddenly started to say a lot of rubbish and decided to take something out of his spatial ring.

Thud!

Suddenly, a mountain of gold, blue and red Skystones appeared around the area the Lion King Qiao Xuan was standing.

"Look at this fortune! I doubt someone like him could offer something like this for you! This shall be all yours if you come with me, and what I could give you, is not limited to this amount. There are many other things I could give you, so why don't you..."

"What a retard." The Elf Queen abruptly dropped that rude remark. In her eyes, she was not looking at the famous and powerful leader of one of the Higher Grounds, but looking at an idiot clown.

"What did you say?!"

"You're nothing more than a ridiculous clown when compared to Seth. If you hadn't attacked him and destroy his image, I could have considered letting you leave with your live, but an ugly dog like you had gone beyond my bottom line.. So just die and go make your pitiful show in another place, retard."
