10 Blue Moon (2/2)
Behind him appeared Yunshi, draped on his back was a remnant patch of blue fur. Knighted Maven turned back and made silent eye contact with Yunshi before looking back at the battle.
”That kid is hiding his power! To be able to block the prince's strike, he's no weak character.” Knighted Maven praised with a calm knowing smile.
”No match.” Yunshi mumbled and Knighted Maven looked back and asked: ”No match?”
Yunshi's gaze turned to the fight and stared at the lightning sword in the prince's hand.
”He's no match for him.” Yunshi said blandly
”Who's no match for who? Ji Shu or ...His Highness?” Knighted Maven asked quizzically
But before Yunshi could respond, the world became lit up in blue light. The skies seemed to rumble as Han Yi's sword came down. A river of lightning struck out as his sword faded into it, the stream tore apart the ground as it headed towards Ye Yuyan.
Ye Yuyan jumped backing seemingly retreating and the current curved following his fleeing form. The icy mist followed at Ji Shu's feet becoming a defensive cloud as he weaved away from the currents of lightning.
His body descended to the ground as the lightning struck down at him. He raised a palm making the blue mist congealed on top of his head. All the mist in the area gathered together and the temperature started to drop.
It congealed into a blue moon the size of 3 people over his head. At that moment, the lightning struck down on the thick layers of ice.
The streams of electrical energy crackled on top the ice only smoothing it out. Ye Yuyan squeezed his palms shut and the moon exploded out completely dispelling the lightning.
Ye Yuyan's eyes turned back to the prince who was left dumbfounded for a moment. Before the prince could respond around Ye Yuyan the mist started to seethed and expand. He made both his hands into claws and dug into the mist.
The mist waved in the wind as Ye Yuyan's claw-like hands swung down in front of him. The mist moved forward becoming ice claws that slammed down onto Han Yi.
Han Yi shot out hundreds of thunder serpents in response, each of the coiling serpents slammed into the claws and dissipated in the same moment.
Only after hundreds had struck, did the claw disappear and Ye Yuyan swung down again with faster and faster claws. Every few of the claws would strike the ground missing Han Yi and leaving only a blue claw mark.
Han Yi roared to the heaven's as the serpents grew a small horn and two front claws. Their ferocity suddenly ignited as each serpent overpowered the claws. Ye Yuyan didn't slack off as the mist pressed against his body.
Along his black robes appeared beautiful snowflake inscriptions, the bland blank became a beautiful winter robe. One might suspect he was attending festivities rather than a fight.
”Your Highness, you'd best back down from this point.” Ye Yuyan kindly advised
”Do you think these tricks are enough to cause me any worry?” Han Yi coldly intoned.
”Do you know what it is that makes the moon look blue?” Ye Yuyan asked
”I'll tell you. It's the cinders that come from the earth.” Ye Yuyan said with a devious smile that showed off his pearly whites.
”What?!?” Han Yi said reflexively as he turned his attention below him.
He suddenly noticed the various scattered blue claws start to shine. The blue light intensified as the head of a blue-furred demon roared at the prince. All the thunder serpents dissipated instantly from the roar even the lightning on the prince's body completely acquiesced.
”You may have 'dispelled' the uncanniness but you never cleared the source.” Ye Yuyan laughed as his eyes flitted past Gulan's body.
Though suppressed Han Yi's countenance did not change and even in the face of the demon, he stood calmly. His eyes looked off past the mountains as if seeing something hidden beyond it.
”You dare to call that creature here?!?” Han Yi roared with cold and calm fury.
”Like I said your Highness, I want to cooperate. After all don't you need this?” Ye Yuyan said with a joking tone as he unfurled a black scroll.
