However, the light curved around Yan Xuan. Her eyes rolled back, a silent scream escaping her as veins bulged one by one on her forehead. A continuous stream of fine, red, sand-like particles flowed out from between her brows. These red particles, suspended in midair, firmly trapped the Faith Cultivation Cardinal's fingers, palms, and arms, seeping into his skin.
"AAAAHHH!" The Faith Cultivation Cardinal howled in anguish. His palm, aimed at Yan Xuan, erupted with dazzling Haotian Divine Light that soundlessly annihilated the floor beneath them. Yet, the attack still avoided Yan Xuan—as if his body was controlled and unable to harm her.
