495 Baffled (1/2)

Even though Gao Lan Mei was not yet moving, the black and purple aura around her was enough for Fa Liwei to be cautioned to take action. Yes, he was wasting time but his instinct was forcing him to do so.

The sparks of power around her grew darker and denser. The surrounding air swirled like sand storms or hurricanes. A very strong pressure that was not something he did not expect to see in the Mortal Domain.

Fa Liwei starred with curiosity at her. 'So what is she planning to do now?'

Clink!

Clink!

The golden cage made another set of noises bringing Fa Liwei back to the goal that needed to be accomplished as soon as possible.

'Yes, the time is almost here. Before long we will release the master.' Fa Liwei thought to himself. This was the reason for his existence and it would not sway him with other things.

Fa Liwei was eager to eliminate the threat that was in front of him right now. Or else everything might get ruined.

Not letting the Gao Lan Mei got a hold of him again, he leaped for an attack.

Just as he got close enough to Gao Lan Mei; it baffled him. Gao Lan Mei within a blink of an eye had caught the attacking arm of Fa Liwei!

The swift movement left him spellbound. With them this close, Fa Liwei could see closer the difference on Gao Lan Mei's face.

The protruded veins coming from the side of her eyes were thicker than his own.

Fa Liwei could continue to be more curious but he could not let her get the upper hand.

The strength that Gao Lan Mei possesses right now was incomparable to anything Fa Liwei has ever faced before.

As Gao Lan Mei starred empty. Her eyes dark as abyss. Fa Liwei felt weak and unable to move well enough to counter an attack from Gao Lan Mei.

But she did not attack Fa Liwei, she only held his arm until Fa Liwei got weaker. Fa Liwei's body got weaker and weaker while Gao Lan Mei's aura was getting stronger.

'No! She is absorbing my powers?!' He thought with surprise while fighting to keep his consciousness.

On the other side of Mount Hua…

Zoom!

A zap of Ma Wang Shu's poisonous beam of magic passed Li Huan by earshot. It almost did hit her. But she was lucky enough to dodge it.

Gaining composure Li Huan spinning in a circle and concentrated his magical energy to send a ball of impurity towards Ma Wang Shu.

Bam!

It hit Ma Wang Shu, sending her plummeting to the ground far away from where they were.
