399 Ice Water Arts

Lan Xue raised her pristine small right hand and a light blue hue swiftly encased her arm. A group of three ethereal copies suddenly stopped, their limbs getting cold and rigid, covered with a thick layer of ice.

Very quickly, they turned into ice statues, dropping down towards the ground and breaking into thousands of pieces. However, Lan Xue raised her head to look and fifteen more of those disgusting copies, were already nearing her. They were divided into two groups; one containing six copies and the other with nine of them.

Her lithe body swiftly turned in midair and as snow crystals danced around her, a huge wall made of solid water blocked the path of the first group of copies.

Buzz!

Slash!

Crack!

Those six copies started slashing the obstacle in front of them, franticly attacking it, with the intention of opening a path. It took them less than five seconds to completely reduce that frozen wall into small pieces of ice, but it was just the time Lan Xue needed, to deal with the other nine enemies.

"Torrential Cascade!"

Splash!

Water surged out of nowhere, completely engulfing the bodies of nine enemies. They brandished their purple triangular blades, in an attempt to cut the water, but it was useless. There was nothing they could do against the force of those waters.

But at that time, cracking noises echoed through the area, as six copies accelerated towards Lan Xue after opening a path in the middle of the frozen wall she had built. Unfortunately for them, she was already prepared.

The ice doll quickly turned around, her right arm making a beautiful arch in the air, guiding the raging waves of water that had just drowned nine enemies, towards those other six copies. Cold waves circled around her body, coming in between her and her enemies, before rushing towards them.

Crash!

Water crashed against six of the Sanctuary Masters copies and no matter how they brandished their purple swords, they just couldn't surmount the power behind Lan Xues ability and ended up being swept away by the fierce current. In less than three seconds, they were crushed by those raging waves, turning into nothingness.

However, Lan Xue's situation was far from getting any better, since more and more copies started heading her way. But her perception was not locked in those hundreds of copies, but focused on the area around her.

Why? Because she had sensed invisible copies entering the perimeter of a hundred and fifty meters around her. They stealthily made their way towards her, just waiting for her to vacillate, so they could fatally wound her.

A swarm of thirty copies accelerated towards Lan Xue, all of them ignoring the possibility that they could be stricken with frontal attacks and going straight at her direction. Their arms were already positioned in away, that with just a single swing, they would be able to slit her throat open.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the first copies approached her, Lan Xue raised her left arm and inwardly chanted the words required to activate her spell.

'Clear Water Screen!'

A thin layer of water suddenly appeared in front of those copies and as they passed by them, it was as if they had been swallowed by a black whole. Sixteen copies instantly vanished and the Sanctuary Master flinched, as he felt his connection with them ceasing.

The other fourteen copies hastily dodged that screen of clear water, circling around it and coming to get to a dangerously close distance, from their target. They rushed forward and pointed their triangular-shaped swords towards the front, creating an encirclement of death for their opponent.

As the Twelfth Palace Master of the Glazed Lake Sect, Lan Xue was prepared and trained to face multiple enemies at once. That's why she didn't panic after seeing so many enemies getting closer to her.

One of the copies reached the three-meter mark away from her, while the other were somewhere in between five to fifteen meters away, but it was enough. Lan Xue's small lips parted and her icy voice, made the low temperature in the surroundings, drop down even lower.

"Frost Point!"

Suddenly, starting from the one closest to her, all fourteen copies stopped. Their limbs stopped at the place they were and their skin acquired a blue shade, that started getting brighter and brighter as the seconds passed by.

Those copies were turning into ice statues from the inside out, unable to reach where she was, due to the cold temperature. But this technique she had just used, wasn't something she would be able to maintain active for hundred percent of the time, so just as the Sanctuary Master noticed the fluctuations of Mana around her changing, he knew it was time to start the real attack.

Swish!

One of the invisible ethereal copies appeared besides Lan Xue, bringing its swords down towards her head. There were no energy fluctuations and there were no visual effects, it was just like a silent deadly assassin, ready to reap out the enemy life.

From afar, the Sanctuary Master could see everything that happened at the center of the battlefield and as he saw his copy was about to land a deadly attack, the corner of his lips unwittingly rose, turning into a sinister smile.

Lan Xue acted as if she hadn't noticed it, until it had entered the area where her frost energy laid dormant. The vanishing aura behind her Frost Point resurfaced, gathering in a single point, in a single snow flake that lightly entered in contact with the invisible enemy.

Unceremoniously, it stopped and as it started turning into ice, its concealment was undone.

'Impossible! She shouldn't have been able to feel it approaching her! How...?' The Sanctuary Master inwardly exclaimed, while he observed his other invisible ethereal copies approaching her.

However, Lan Xue's next actions completely overturned the belief he had in his illusive abilities.

"Glazed Image!"

That same water screen that had swallowed sixteen of his copies, had suddenly reappeared. From inside of it, sixteen bodies made of clear water steeped out. They looked like the same as before, but their features were made out of water.

However, Lan Xue was not done yet. She circled her energy inside her body, prepared to enhance her warriors with a bit more of power.
