Snow trailed her like a ribbon as she left the ground, defying gravity for a moment. She flipped in the air, flowing with the current, then a fragment of the cloud above her head shot down.
It smashed into the ground, exploding into tiny shards that spread across the ground, creating a thick layer of ice. The sound was delayed, sounding like a dull echo that came from beneath the earth.
She let out a howl, which sounded more soothing than frightening. The entire arena became cold afterward, and cultivators below the Gold Gate shivered in their seats. When the howl ended, all sound was withdrawn.
