Corrupt Creations

"Ahahaha! Now, you're trapped here! I want to see, if you..." The Sanctuary Master shut his mouth as he couldn't comprehend what his enemy was doing. He saw the woman didn't seem to be bothered by his words and kept moving forward, not even bothering to look back.

Lan Xue gave a damn about what he had done and kept moving towards a distant spot; a place that was fixedly being reflected, in the middle of her eyes.

At that location, there seemed to be a drop of blood, frozen in a crystal-like structure. It was emitting fluctuations from the Illusive Ethereal bloodline and interacting with the barrier that circled it, creating a gap wide enough for a slim girl to pass through.

It seemed that Lan Xue had left it there before doing her attack, since she was already expecting the Sanctuary Master would control the barrier to his advantage. Her petite and lite body swiftly flew towards that spot, penetrating that frozen structure and taking advantage of that gap, to escape from the Sanctuary Master's grasp.

Right after she had passed, the ice structure had crumbled and the barrier regenerated, filling the gap it previously couldn't.

As for the man who watched that happening, his expression couldn't be more ashen. Someone was able to attack his sanctuary and escape unscathed. As a prideful Mana Sovereign, this was a humiliation he couldn't take. How would he show his face before the goddess, after the events that had just happened?

While he was feeling that way, his eyes captured the enemy's figure stopping right outside the range of the protective barrier.

Lan Xue had successfully escaped from inside the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary Territory, but she didn't immediately leave. She turned around and looked towards her mortal enemy, showing him a calm expression and cold eyes; however, inwardly she was almost losing herself, crazily fighting an impulse to attack him right there.

At least, there was a barrier separating them at that moment, putting some clear judgement in her head.

But when the Sanctuary Master saw how she had stopped to look back, he realized what were her real intentions. He wasn't a fool and was able to figure out her plan. She probably wanted to lure him out and fight with him there, but inside his mind, he could not find how it would change the outcome of their battle.

The only difference, would be that she wouldn't be restricted. However, he had analyzed her abilities while chasing after her, realizing that he was faster than her and that she wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp, even if he were to fight her on the outside.

But in reality, nothing of that mattered to him. What had taken his entire being, was a suppressed wrath, brought by the humiliation he suffered. He wanted to prove himself to the goddess and nothing would bring him more value, than taking care of a Mana Sovereign Realm enemy. The fact it was a problem brought by one of their bloodline leakages, would get him even more credit.

Thinking it was his golden chance, the Sanctuary Master slowly moved forward, afraid that Lan Xue would turn around and run away, making his life harder. However, his lips curved, noticing that she hadn't left, even though he had already approached her enough to cast one of his entrapment abilities.

The barrier was right in front of him and with a wave of his hand, the energy coursing through it, was dispelled. The Sanctuary Master then stepped outside of his sect territory, coming to stop a few meters away from that Glazed Lake Sect woman.

"Aren't you going to run?"

Lan Xue heard his question, but she kept silently staring at him.

"Heh! I have to compliment you for your courage. Only if that spineless brother of mine were as courageous as you, we would have properly dealt with that dirty woman and there wouldn't be the need for this, since the sin wouldn't have been committed and you wouldn't have been born."

Lan Xue was not a lady that would lose control of her emotions easily. Most of the Glazed Lake Sect women, were taught on how to control their emotions, due to the stability of the water elemental arts, but what the Sanctuary Master had said, had directly impacted her.

She gritted her teeth and endured the raging emotions that were wreaking havoc inside of her chest. For that, she had to be thankful to her elemental affinities, since they helped her cool down those emotions and feed them to her frigid hatred.

However, it is hard to imagine how someone could stay calm after having their parents insulted that way. Probably only an ice doll could.

"It's just a pity that they had to die in order to hide that "sin" from our eyes, ahahaha!!!"

The joints between Lan Xue's fingers were totally pale, but she still refused to make the first move.

"Tch! What a disappointment. I wonder how they would feel like, when the get to reunite with you and see how emotionless their daughter was." The Sanctuary Master finished his phrase, at the same time that his body vanished. It had turned out, that what Lan Xue was seeing, was just an illusion. The real one was already standing dangerously close from her.

"Ethereal Spiral Edge!"

SWOOSH!!!

Billions of purple ethereal particles surged out of thin air, turning into a spiraling vortex that caused turmoil in the space where Lan Xue was standing. The Sanctuary Master's figure appeared behind that spiral, infusing his energy into that ability, to make it stronger. His real objective, was to create a spatial storm in that whole area and block the girl in front of him, from using a teleportation technique.

However, Lan Xue's actions deeply puzzled him. She wasn't panicking while facing his power, but calmly spreading her arms. To his amazement, the whole purple vortex he had created with his sturdy Mana Sovereign Realm energy, together with the space around it, froze.
