Chapter 343 - Battle On The Lake Part 4

The Lake Mother had suffered a heavy hit, but fortunately, she was in an environment filled with water elemental particles. Because of that, she was able to generate a water shield to protect her vital points, before things could get worse. But when her body resurfaced from inside the lake, she was bleeding and panting.

There were many blood-red lines coming down from her forehead and lips, and her right arm had been severely damaged. She was holding that arm with her left hand, but it was visible that a single failure in judgement of her part, had costed her a lot.

"Lake Mother!" The Hua Sisters were the closest to her, but before they could even come near the place she was, the Sanctuary Master's aura expanded and they were forced to a stop.

A thick purple fog started being released from his body, quickly filling the whole sky with it. Suddenly, that man started to drop downwards and that purple haze followed closely behind his body. He had specially used a lot of Mana in that ability, in order to push the Lake Mother's condition even further down the drain.

That purple haze, was actually composed of the same venomous substance that he had poisoned the Lake Mother once before and if it were to enter in contact with her injuries, it would then invade her body once again. However, this time he had actually increased the power and quality of that substance, to finish the job with certainty.

The Lake Mother still had a lot of Mana, but her old body was not cooperating with her anymore. She raised her hand to block that strike, but after exerting all of her strength, she knew she wouldn't be able to block that attack with just the amount of Mana she was able to gather in that small window of time.

The Sanctuary Master wickedly smiled and increased his speed even further. In a few seconds, he would be showing the world and his goddess, how mighty and powerful he was. He was about to kill a Mana Sovereign entity and even a cold person like him, couldn't help but feel hot with anxiety and excitement.

However, a vortex of water formed on the surface of the lake, a few meters away from them and almost as if instantly, a person's silhouette shot from inside of it, moving with an inconceivable speed to where the Lake Mother and the Sanctuary Master were fighting.

Lan Xue appeared, and everything around her, started to freeze.

"Frozen World!"

Suddenly, sounds of substances crystalizing echoed through the area and that massive purple cloud of energy following behind the Sanctuary Master, froze.

The temperature abruptly dropped and the Sanctuary Master felt he was losing connection with his purple haze. When he finally noticed it, everything around him had already become a block of ice.

He didn't have enough time to prepare for a possible incoming attack, before all those frozen objects collapsed while exploding.

Boom!

Hundreds of thousands of ice shards were sent towards him, but just the force behind that explosion, had already sent him flying.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Many shards of ice crashed into the Sanctuary Master's body, sending his body all the way to where the shore was.

Lan Xue's figure gracefully appeared beside her grandmother, supporting her body with her hands.

"Grandmother..."

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay behind?"

"But you are..."

"Tch... Do you think that rotten man would be able to take me down that easily?" After saying that, the Lake Mother swiftly connected to the formation and pulled a lot of Mana into her body.

Other than that, she ate a blue pill that made her fatigue and injuries abruptly vanish. In a few seconds, it seemed that at least ninety percent of her wounds were healed. However, there was still a certain percentage of it, that would be impossible to heal with only a few medicines and time. Actually, the medicine she had eaten was one of her life-saving treasures and after eating it, no other pills would be effective on her for a few days.

When Lan Xue's aura appeared in that lake area, the elders from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary felt twice the pressure they were feeling; what resulted in a swift change in the tide of the battle.

It was like an awesome magic was being displayed on the stage, mystically changing the flow of the whole scenario.

Lan Xue realized that her grandmother was relatively alright and she decided to focus on the real objectives of that battle. The purple pillars.

Since she had come outside, she would do everything she could, in order to resolve this conflict faster.

Her frigid aura quickly expanded and Lan Xue infused a lot of Mana into it, directing her cold and powerful energy right into the insides of the lake.

Suddenly, the purple lake waters started to freeze, rapidly reducing the area where the elders from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, were able to freely battle.

Many of those elders felt threatened by those frozen waters and decided to retreat, but at that moment the Sanctuary Master's voice was transmitted to every single one of them.

"Keep fighting! If any of you retreat, I will personally kill you later!"

The elders were shocked and felt disheartened. They were forced to resist an ability from a Mana Sovereign entity and all of them knew that it was something impossible. Very quickly, they realized that things were about to get bad for their side.

However, when the frigid aura reached their feet, it did nothing to them. Lan Xue had totally focused her powers into the lake waters, sending frozen pulses towards the many purple pillars stationed near the shore.

The purple water kept freezing, till that cold energy got dangerously close to the pillars.. The elders kept desperately fighting and trying to break the ice forming underneath their feet, but that energy was out of their league, they could do nothing to it; just observe as it kept advancing.
