Outside, Ceni's body finally returned to normal allowing her to get back on her feet. Her energies were still in disarray but at least she could control her body now.
Hurting and still in shock over what happened, she peered towards the source of all this commotion and saw Hao Xuan's stiffened body. He was frozen from head to toe, encased in a thick layer of frost that was slowly getting denser.
Within the radius of 2 meters, everything was frozen other than Ma Jiang who was now looking up, staring right into Hao Xuan's frozen eyes.
Ceni was still relatively calm until the moment she realized she couldn't sense Hao Xuan's heartbeat anymore, at which point the color from her face washed away instantly.
"No, no!"
Completely disregarding her own safety, Ceni ran straight towards them but the moment she reached the frozen territory a wall of ice materialized out of thin air, stopping her in her tracks. She staggered back a step before clenching her fist and threw a punch.
