Against the Boundary

And just like that, before he could do anything about it the floodlight was pulled out of his reach. He watched with bated breath as the light's boundary came up to him and then surpassed. He lowered his head and braced for what was coming but even after several seconds the cold winds did not touch him.

Hao Xuan raised his head, shocked to see that there was still light around him. The blue and white light that was being exuded by the silver grass herbs covered him and all the area around him.

The herb holding his hand loosened its grip to finally set him free. As he got back on his feet, a sea of blue lights began to light up all around him one by one.

He looked back towards the herb which had stolen the floodlight only to see that it had stopped just a dozen meters behind him. The floodlight was still on but it was facing the direction he had come from.
