The icy gale howling across the sky above Sky Reaching City seemed to freeze in place, choked by the utter impossibility of the spectacle unfolding at the cloud line.
Huo Yue's breath hitched in her throat, her crimson robes whipping violently as she watched Lin Yun hover there with his arms folded behind his head, sporting that arrogant, infuriating smirk.
Every fiber of her pride as a wielder of the Heavenly Flame screamed in outraged fury.

Huo Yue gritted her teeth and quickly reacted, creating another flame lotus and threw it towards Lin Yun, but just like last time, he just stared at it and...
Snap.
...casually snapped it out of existence.
A crisp, effortless sound of two fingers meeting broke the silence.
