440 Locked with a devil

" Where are you going ?"Song Yan called from behind as she looked at Song Lan who was trying to get away from the warehouse. "Don't you like stealing luck? Then you should be prepared for the consequences as well!"

As she spoke, she called her familiar back and then summoned the glowing orbs with a wave of her hand that stuck to the seven main organs of the old master. The old master rose in the air like he was being carried by a magical string and then was sent flying next to Song Lan, with a bang he crashed against the metal door of the warehouse and spat a mouthful of blood at Song Lan's feet and the latter was scared out of her wits.

Her heart began to tighten and now she wished she had listened to her mother's warning and stayed away from Song Yan. Her mother told her that something was wrong with Song Yan and she should be careful before making her move but she was in such a hurry to steal Song Yan's luck, if she knew that Song Yan was this strong then she would have never poked the tiger in the eye but in her desperation to get better role and life, with the greed of becoming madam Fu, she forgot to use her head and now her life was in danger.

" Song Yan…you..you cannot touch me," Song Lan didn't dare to look down at the pitiful condition of the old master. She was terrified so terrified that she didn't even think twice before desperately rushing to the only window of the warehouse but no matter how hard she tried to raise the window pane and get out of this place, the window looked like it has been jammed. She couldn't get out no matter what she did and the glass didn't seem to budge when she smashed her hands on it, in fact, the more she tried to get out of the warehouse, the more it seemed as if a force was pushing her back. She was so anxious that she started to hop on one spot like ants on a hot pan.

Song Yan was thoroughly amused by Song Lan's desperate actions of trying to get away from her and her smile turned a tad more genuine but in the eyes of Song Lan who knew that her life was on the line, it was the smile of a demon who came out of hell to drag her with him.

Before entering the warehouse, Song Yan set up a restraining array, even if Song Lan was to throw her entire weight at the glass window, she wouldn't be able to get out in fact, she would only be breaking through the glass pane and hurting herself before finding herself back in the warehouse. It would be like stuck in an infinite loop with no chance to get away from here.

Once she was sure that Song Lan wouldn't be able to leave she turned her attention to the old master who was groaning on the floor, she has been keeping an eye on the man for a long time and even in the dim lighting, she could see that the man wasn't bleeding red blood but instead he seemed to be bleeding a sticky, tar-like substance as if he wasn't even human. Song Yan seemed to have understood something as her eyes flashed with maliciousness, with a twist of her wrist she raised the scythe in her hands and then brought it down heavily, the blade of the scythe tore the body of the old master in half, his eyes rolled in their sockets and his upper half started moving but the one on the bottom was still moving as if it still had some sensations left within it.

The black tar splattered on the floor like a pond of water and Song Lan who was banging on the window turned around instinctively when she heard the loud crash of the blade on the ground.

" AHHHH! You killed someone! You killed someone!" Song Lan screamed out loud, her eyes popping in terror at the bloody scene in front of her, her feet gave away but then she scrambled up to her feet and backed into the wall with the window on it. It was as if she was sure that as long as she stayed there she will be able to survive.

Something hot and yellow trickled down her jumpsuit and made a puddle under her jelly legs but Song Lan didn't care about it.

She was so scared that all the blood from her face seemed to have drained and her body was shaking like a kitten in the cold rain. She gulped loudly and looked at Song Yan who was holding a scythe in her hands like she was an Asura who came looking for her blood and then screamed, " I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Somehow she managed to stand up straight on her legs and then she smashed her hands on the window wanting to get out of this horrible place, she was supposed to be the winner tonight, how come the situation turned into such that she was the one who was on the verge of dying?

In the end, when she felt Song Yan coming closer to her Song Lan in her desperation took a few steps behind her and then rushed to the window, she was willing to bleed a little if it meant that she will be able to escape the devil behind her.

With a bang she threw herself at the window, pain shot through her skin like fire but the glass did break and she was free, that was what mattered the most. Song Lan cheered in her head even though her entire body seemed like it has been set on fire but she didn't mind it, as long as she was out of that hell, it was all that mattered to her the most.
