Xaio Shui’s body froze in an instant as the ice touched him. It happened so quickly anybody who blinked would have missed it. Now a blue layer of crystalline ice covered his entire body, turning him into a frozen statue. Mei Xilan breathed a sigh of relief as she saw this. She had placed every ounce of power she had into her domain, so she had nothing left to fight back with.
“I believe this battle is over,” Mei Xilan said to Huǒ Yan.
But the old man just smiled. “I hate to burst your bubble, but what makes you think this battle is over?”
“What?”
Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, an intense heat radiated from the ice statue. Mei Xilan whirled around to see Xaio Shui’s body covered in a bright golden aura. The heat radiating from his body was so intense that she could feel it even through the ice, and as she watched, the ice quickly began melting, leaving the man standing there without a single scratch.
