Execution of a King

The puddle surface continued to ripple before him. 

"What? She isn't dead?!" 

Hai Zhu walked forward, tightening his grip on the trident. The murky water continued to tremble before suddenly exploding and bursting out with the fury of a storm. Wind and lightning rushed out, destroying everything around it and forcing the water to dispel. 

And then a hand came out, grabbing onto the edge as Ming Yue emerged but the aura around her was different. She turned and looked at Hai Zhu with a pair of cold eyes. So much so that it brought fear to him. 

"You... you're different from before", he said. 

Indeed, It wasn't Ming Yue, it was Xue Yue. 

She continued to stare deep into him while wiping the sword clean with her arm. 

"It has been quite some time since I've come out. Ming Yue truly decided to push herself and to be fair, I don't blame her. You are a disgusting sight for me and I will end you."
