Corrupt Creations

Chapter 393: Arrival

As the entire hall was taken by a sudden silence, a few Elders looked towards the stage, finally noticing that there was a new presence there.

Meiyi felt her body being supported by a warm hand, as a scent that she recognized, entered her nostrils. She swiftly turned her head up and immediately, she felt like she had fallen into a dream. Her eyes started getting moist, twisting the image of the person she so desperately wanted to see.

Her hands trembled as she extended them out, so she could touch that blurry face and get sure that she wasn’t being fooled by a delusional thought or anything else.

“Seth... Is that really you...?”

Seth didn’t move and just let her trembling hands trace his face, while he kept looking at her. His heart ached when he saw the pitiful state that she was in, and he couldn’t even start to think about the level of distress she had been put to, for the last few days. Deep down inside his eyes, a crimson light shone with intensity, as his blood boiled with anger.

Meiyi desperately touched his handsome face, finally realizing that his appearance there, wasn’t just a dream.

“Meiyi, I’m here. You can rest now. Let me take care of everything.”

.....

“Seth! Waahh!!! Seth!” Meiyi jumped into Seth’s embrace, not being able to hold her tears anymore. They kept being poured out like a waterfall, while dozens of strong emotions kept resurfacing inside of her chest.

Seth could feel everything she was feeling, and he couldn’t help but blame himself for getting there late. However, he suppressed those dark emotions and directed his look towards the hundreds of Elders inside that hall.

They were all standing already, showing uneasiness in their faces, but a few of them had gathered near the stage, releasing their auras as they identified Seth as an outsider.

“Who are you? How did you get here?”

While they assaulted Seth with their auras, carefully approaching him, they heard his voice, that sounded more like a threat than a simple warning.

“Leave or die. I won’t repeat it.”

Seth said those words, while looking towards the Elders who were trying to get near, making a few of them stop as they got intimidated. However, they looked at each other, hardening their wills, before they resumed their approach.

“You won’t repeat yourself? Hah! You’re the invader here, you’re the one who had trespassed our territory and disrupted our important ceremony! We do not tolerate your presence! Surrender or we will attack!”

“Heh!” Seth looked at that Elder as if he was looking at a fool and his lips couldn’t help but curve.

Seeing that he wouldn’t surrender, another Elder suddenly shouted: “Get him down! Now!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Twenty or so auras, exploded outwards at the same time. Those twenty or so figures, swiftly jumped towards the stage, making sure to pressure Seth with their conjoint efforts. They knew he was a strong enemy, for he had taken Elder Hu down, with a single slap. That’s why they decided to act together.

However, before Seth’s real strength, their attempt to suppress him, was nothing but futile. He looked at those idiots, throwing themselves to their deaths and made a sweeping motion with his free arm.

Swoosh!!!

A fierce gale assaulted the entire hall, bringing down a powerful might. Amidst those wind currents, thirty-six green arrows swiftly formed, each one of them flew to a different direction, moving towards a different target.

Those unfortunate Elders who had jumped towards the stage, without any resistance, were swept by fierce wind currents, that made them fly backwards like kites without strings attached to them. Before they could recompose themselves, green arrows cut through space, moving towards them and leaving a hole in the middle of their foreheads.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

When they hit the hard floor, they were nothing more than lifeless bodies.

However, they were not the only ones unfortunate enough to be target by Seth’s wind arrows. The Elders holding Grand Elder Chuanli and his wife down, were forced to a quick retreat, as they saw many green arrows coming their way.

Differently from the others, most of them had time to activate their bloodline abilities, creating purple shields in front of them or disappearing from their locations, like they were mere illusions.

However, in a few seconds, they came to understand that what they had done, was completely useless before Seth’s green arrows, that radiated an unsurmountable might.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Those who had created purple defensive shields, were able to see the moment the arrows penetrated their defenses, before everything went black. They suffered the same destiny as the others, dropping down towards the ground, while leaking blood from their foreheads.

As for those who had escaped, they felt a chill run down their spines, when the green arrows changed their trajectories, cutting through the air and moving at their direction.

The speed of those arrows was greater than what their Mana could lock into, rendering their cultivation totally useless. A second later, they had one more hole in their bodies, from where their vitality swiftly left them.

With a simple move, Seth had taken care of thirty-six enemies, leaving the other Elders trembling from fear.

Grand Elder Chuanli stood up and rapidly moved towards his wife, supporting her body as she recovered her movements. He felt like he was still not in condition to use his energy, but had to force it, since this could be their only chance.

Feeling pain all over his body, he forced a bit of Mana out of his constricted energy veins and flew together with his wife towards the elevated platform, where Seth was. He didn’t think too much about the peril that man represented, since he was in between an uncertain scenario or certain death.

They dropped down near Donghai’s injured body as they desperately crawled their way towards him.

“Ahhh! My son!”

“Donghai! Wake up!”

Their sad cries brought Meiyi back to reality, as she looked towards her father.
