Standoff

"Run!" said Shen Fu

"To where," I replied. "Whatever's coming for us, will catch up to us in a blink, might as well wait and see," I replied as the blinding red glow was surging toward us. The power was getting closer and closer, and the more close it got the drearier and scarier it became.

I was honestly feeling that death's looming scythe was already around my neck. 

Yet before the scythe would tear my neck out, I had a way out, simply I'd jump along with Shen Fu into the Lord of Lords pagoda once shit gets ugly.

But just as the life ending power of the person coming toward us was about to fully grasp us into itself, a burst of golden and white aura washed over us and the entire land we were in, deflecting the red glow and instantly easing our breathing.

The sense of certain doom and end was suddenly washed away by a glow of hope and prosperity. This light could only be described with one word… Holy.
