Case 57: Goddess of Ice.
For Kierra, Mie Xieren was akin to an attention-hungry child.
She needed to be showered with affection, or else she would become distant again—the line was highly dubious. She was also very dependent on the archwizard, often wanting to accompany her or to be a part of her doings. Although Mie Xieren was undoubtedly older than Kierra, she felt like a younger, more juvenile human to her.
However, on the battlefield, Mie Xieren—the undisputed abbess of the ever-powerful sect, Emei—was known as the juggernaut, the apex predator of a thousand wars. Wielding her powerful water spells that stemmed from her top-tier water root, she would sweep thousands of enemies off of the battlefield in a matter of seconds.
The figure of a lone woman with her red eyes gleaming a deadly, cold, murderous light had long been imprinted in her enemies' minds, if they were alive, at least.
Faced with such an imposing force, the unorthodox folks couldn't help but be oppressed. Left and right, the water torrents were still taking out their allies, yet they found no desire to go against Mie Xieren.
''What are you idiots doing?! Advance!''
That was if they were not of the same caliber as her. Quickly taking control of the battlefield with her stern voice, a woman standing on top of the giant knight glared through her veil. This was Cao Jian - the Sect leader of Veiled Rage.
Veiled Rage - A demonic sect taking the route of 'controlled' berserk to gain temporary power. That said, it didn't mean that they were weak in normal cases. With the sect leader herself marching on with her signature puppet, the battle resumed soon.
As it was, Cao Jian raised her right hand, in turn making her puppet raise its sword, which was as big as a mountain, intending to crush Mie Xieren at once. In response, the abbess lightly flicked her small obsidian sword, gathering mana into its blade.
Soon, a blizzard suddenly appeared around her, extending outward with incredible speed. A whole section of the battlefield was affected, creating a snowfield that was Mie Xieren's domain.
Within, her red eyes once again shone with a deadly light.
'Watch me, Kierra.'
Pulling both sources of energy inside her and making them swirl around her sword, she kept draining out more and more until those layers on the blade were as thick as a wall, and the size of it had almost matched the giant's.
For once, she remembered Kierra's lesson.
"Qi and mana do not seem to get along well in nature. When relying on both, one should generally avoid overlapping them. If not careful, this could lead to disastrous consequences."
''How do you know this...?''
Suddenly, feeling a mix of jealousy, hatred, and rage welling up inside her body, Cao Jian gritted her teeth. For her, this was unfair. How did Mie Xieren get this strong? How did she, even after all the things she sacrificed to get this power, stay inferior?
An uncontrollable rage took over her body.
As it was, Cao Jian exploded every ounce of qi left inside her body, even absorbing the leftover energy from her puppet to transform herself. An intense aura circulated through her body, applying a bone-crushing pressure to the surroundings.
Without any warning, she sprung herself toward Mie Xieren, and the two clashed.
Cao Jian's movements were ferocious and chaotic, akin to that of a beast, giving her opponent little room to retaliate. Each of her punches, cuts, and hooks contained an ordinary cultivator's lifetime worth of energy, practically warping the space around them due to how heavy they were.
Yet, Mie Xieren stayed calm. With unparalleled fighting experience, she narrowly dodged the claws coming her way, squeezing out little counterattacks as she analyzed her opponent's movement. Utilizing the fact that Cao Jian couldn't sense mana, Mie Xieren cleverly injected small ice spikes into her counterattacks, slowly but steadily freezing the woman's body.
Under the influence of the bone-chilling frostbite, Cao Jian's body soon lost its original strength, rendering her more and more helpless and prone to being countered.
''It's over.''
The abbess's cold voice rang.
''Not yet! Not until I—''
THUD—!
Mie Xieren swiftly plunged her sword into her opponent's abdomen, crisply piercing through her dantian. When she pulled her blade out, fragments of red qi mixed with crimson blood splattered.
And then, Cao Jian's lifeless body fell.
Mie Xieren let out a sigh and gazed at the sky. She closed her eyes, silently imprinting the battle into her mind.
'Did I do it right, Kierra?'
In her heart, she instinctively yearned for a certain woman.
