Li Xueyan's heart raced, every fiber of her being screaming at her to fight back, to resist.
"Urghhh!" But the overwhelming pressure of the man's aura made it difficult to even breathe.
Li Xueyan gritted her teeth, her muscles trembling under the strain.
She could feel the man's dark, malicious energy crawling toward her, suffocating her, but she refused to give in. 'I won't let him touch me,' she swore to herself, her eyes narrowing in defiance. Discover more stories at m,v -novelhall.net
As the man reached out to grab her, Li Xueyan let out a sharp breath and used her water elemental ability, letting out a burst of energy.
The room filled with the sound of rushing water as a protective shield of shimmering blue enveloped her, pushing the man back with a force he hadn't anticipated.
The man staggered, his wicked grin faltering for the first time. "Oh? You want to resist? Good... that makes this even more fun."
Li Xueyan's heart pounded, but she held her ground and she knew she couldn't overpower him for long.
"You will never touch me," she hissed, her voice low and fierce.
The man's eyes gleamed with sadistic excitement, but he underestimated her resolve.
"Then let's see how long you can keep that up, little girl," he taunted as he charged at her, his aura flaring with malicious intent.
"Your tricks won't save you!" he snarled, as his hand ignited with flames and he threw a powerful blast toward her, but she dodged, barely escaping the searing heat.
As he advanced again, Li Xueyan's eyes flashed and with a swift movement, she thrust her hands forward, summoning water from the air.
Streams of liquid coiled around her like serpents, and she focused all her energy on controlling them.
The man scoffed. "Water? Against me?" He laughed mockingly, his confidence still unshaken. "You're just delaying the inevitable!"
But Li Xueyan didn't respond and her focus narrowed to the swirling water in her hands, shaping it with precision.
The man lunged at her, but this time she was ready.
*slash*
A whip of water lashed out, faster than the man could react, striking him square across the chest and sending him stumbling backward.
His eyes widened in surprise. "You-"
Before he could finish, Li Xueyan snapped her hand again, and the water whip cracked in the air like lightning, striking him across the face.
"Argh!" Blood sprayed from his mouth as he growled in rage.
Li Xueyan stood over him, her breath coming in steady, cold puffs as she glared down at him with a mix of anger and disgust. "The thing you tried to do... there is no guarantee that you won't try it again."
Her heart twisted in pain feeling her father's betrayal and gritted her teeth.
Remembering Li Jia's face, her eyes trembled "I don't want her to experience any of that..."
She kneeled down pinning her right knee on her father's back.
"ARGHHH!!!!!"
The man screamed feeling her knee crushing his spine and Li Xueyan raised her hand forming a whip of water.
"I will kill you too..."
The man struggled beneath her, gasping for breath as the pain from his spine intensified.
His face was pressed into the floor, his body writhing in agony, but Li Xueyan's knee remained firm against him, locking him in place.
"Please... please, don't kill me!" he whimpered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the rain.
With a sharp crack, she brought the whip down around his throat.
The man's eyes bulged in terror as the water coiled tightly, cutting off his air.
He clawed at the watery whip, his fingers scraping at his neck in a desperate attempt to free himself, but it was useless.
The more he struggled, the tighter it became.
Her hand tightened around the water whip's handle, and with a final twist, she pulled it hard, pulling it tighter around his neck.
"GRAARGH!!" The man's gurgling cries slowly faded as his body convulsed beneath her.
His hands fell limp at his sides, his breath reduced to shallow gasps, until finally, there was nothing.
Li Xueyan let out a long, shaky breath as she released the whip, letting the water dissipate.
"B-Big Sister?" Li Jia who was sleeping in her room upstairs finally came down hearing some noises..
Hearing a shaky voice, Li Xueyan turned her head and looked at Li Jia standing on the stairs with a terrified expression on her face.
"Jia...."
