Corrupt Creations

Chapter 217 - Drama



Hua Qing's water shield disappeared, leaving her totally unprotected. She couldn't' believe her defensive skill was not able to last even a second in front of Seth's power.

At a moment like this, she had to act fast and there was only one thing left for her to do. Hua Qing immediately used her connection with the formation, making her body sink down, trying to get away from the that situation.

However, this time Seth was prepared.

Just as she started to descend, Seth used his darkness element to create a dark space tunnel beneath her feet, blocking the connection she had with her special dimensional formation. In just a single second, he had already blocked all her routes of escape.

When Hua Qing looked downwards and saw the darkness energy covering the surface of the water, she realized she was fighting against a demon, a dark element user. That simple deduction made her realized she was doomed.

Darkness, among all elements, had the closest connection with the space elemental law, that's why his darkness skill was able to create a subspace that blocked Hua Qing's passage.

While she was stunned, still trying to open up a path, a single second was enough for Seth to approach her and put a hand in her belly, using his Mana to pressure Hua Qing down and disperse her Mana by interfering with her energy veins.

After that, many water weeds started to grow from the bottom of the lake, rapidly coming towards Hua Qing and immobilizing her arms and legs, rendering her limbs useless. Seth made sure to not hurt her or do anything unnecessary, just taking away her ability to move and fight.

He was learning from Rina quite fast, doing some tricks she showed him some days before. The ability to paralyze the targets without actually hurting them, was indeed great. Right at the moment, he was seeing how effective it could be.

If Seth were to hurt Hua Qing right now, his chances of smoothly entering the Glazed Lake would drop down severely, that's why he chose to do this the way he did, immobilizing her and showing she was not his match.

Now would come the hardest part... To acquire the information of how to get in.

Hua Qing noticed she was his hostage now, but instead of asking for him to release her, she didn't do anything, only remaining silent and quiet. But deep down in her eyes, the lights of hope were quickly fading away. She was already disconsidering the possibility she would continue living.

Actually, she would rather die than say anything. Nothing could make her betray the sect she considered as her home.

Seth noticed how unusual she was acting and realized after looking at her posture, that she was ready to die.

He got flabbergasted by that. She was ready to give her life for her Sect's safety, even though there were many other ways for her to deal with him. She could lure Seth inside and make everyone battle him there, but the mere fact of revealing her Sect's location, was something she would never do.

At the shore, the disciples from the Glazed Lake couldn't believe that one of their mighty Palace Masters was defeated so easily by that man. In their eyes, Palace Masters were supreme individuals that could change the landscape while fighting. In fact, that was the truth. But Seth was stronger than Hua Qing, what resulted in the scene they were witnessing.

For Seth, those few moves he exchanged with her were not even considered a real fight. Not because he didn't consider her as strong, but because his definition of real fights, were fierce life and death situations. Impressively, he was always entering one of those somehow.

Chun Meihui didn't believe the scene she saw. She was a very simple woman and would never think her son-in-law was just as strong as that woman she considered as a goddess. Actually, he was more like a monster, someone even stronger than her.

"Why don't you call Lady Yushui here?" Seth didn't even ask her where her sect was located. He knew she wouldn't tell him that information.

"Snort! Kill me!"

"Come on... If you call for her now, I am sure everything will be resolved."

"Kill me!"

Seth didn't even know what to do after hearing her words. It seemed she had probably abandoned her will to live and was not even considering the possibility of calling for Lady Yushui.

'Holy Shit! Why did things escalate this way? This woman is so unnecessarily dramatic...'

Instead of asking her anything else, Seth undid her bindings, letting go of her. If he couldn't get anything from her, he might as well let her go. Maybe there would be a possibility she would come back after calling for reinforcements, alerting Palace Master Yushui and making her come outside.

Hua Qing suddenly fell flat on the water. She was not expecting to be released and had definitely abandoned her will to live. The world was cruel and getting captured, was often a synonym of death.

She stood up after using her Mana as a support, something easily done by a water elemental master. Just like wind elemental cultivators had a way to support themselves in the air, water elemental users could support themselves on the water and under the water as well. Those skills developed conforming you advanced your mastery over that particular element.

Seth was using his wind attribute to hover in the air above the lake, that's why he could fight her at that unusual place. At his realm of power, if he were to use his mana as a support for his feet, it would allow him to freely move on the water surface as well, but the consumption of Mana would increase as he fought, and if he were to lose control over his Mana, he would then sink down.

That's why depending on elemental mastery was better than to just depend on your Mana. These advantages cultivators had for learning the master determined elements, was indeed a wonderful and mysterious gift they were able to receive.

Seth couldn't help but think that the Elemental Goddess, the progenitor of all elements, was a very generous person, making her creations connect with lowly beings and enhance their abilities and constitution.

Hua Qing lost her dignity after being cleanly defeated by Seth in front of everyone and lost it again after falling flat on the water; however, she was not angered by that. What she was feeling at that moment, was incredibility and uncertainty.

Instead of immediately fleeing, she turned towards Seth and asked: "Why did you release me?"

"Why? I don't want to fight or hurt anyone here. Like I said, I just want to talk with Palace Master Yushui."

"Is that all?"

"That's all."

Hua Qing looked deeply inside his eyes and said: "Very well. I can call her here for you, but you need to let me bring those girls, inside with me first!"

She pointed to where the three disciples that guided them here were.

Seth nodded and replied: "Alright."

After that he quickly vanished.

Instead of letting Hua Qing go and free those girls by herself, he was the one that went to do it. He appeared beside the three them and told them to go meet Hua Qing. Seth wouldn't permit someone having the possibility of using Rina, Meiyi and Meihui against him, that's why he chose to do it, since those two groups of people were standing closer and if Hua Qing came, she would be able to do something like that.

The three woman that had been recently released by Rina quickly left, using their low-tier mastery over water elemental laws to the maximum potential and walking their way towards Hua Qing.

At a moment like this, their elemental mastery even seemed to have achieved a breakthrough, since they were actually running on top of the water and not only walking.

After they reunited, the Fourth Palace Master used her technique to bring everyone to the other side, disappearing from where they were. The reflex inside the lake vanished as well, meaning the connection between both sides, was closed.

Seth's group watched as the lake returned to its normal state and the nature resumed its course.

"I knew you were strong, but I didn't know you were that strong! That woman just now was the Fourth Palace Master Hua Qing! The rumors state she is a Mana Control late-stage Realm cultivator... Really impressive!"

The first one to talk was Jiang Yi.

Seth turned towards her and said: "Do you realize now; how close you were to getting into deep trouble with that little stunt you pulled?"

"Which stunt? I don't recall ever doing something with you, Senior. I just remember whipping two Young Masters that deserved a good beating for blocking other people's path. Don't you think so, Senior?"

Seth eyebrows twitched after noticing she was emphasizing the word senior.
