Chapter 68: Are You a Masochist?

Ming Xiong snorted at his fellow disciples for the last time before shifting her eyes to Snowy and Feng Xue to evaluate their strength carefully.

Because Feng Xue deactivated her Aura Concealment when she revealed herself to the public, her spiritual pressure was concealed no more made Ming Xiong could somewhat estimate her cultivation base. He was a bit surprised by the fact that Feng Xue had already advanced in her cultivation.

From the report, she was only a Peak-level Qi Transformation stage cultivator when she killed Yan Tian, but even if a month yet to pass, she had had a breakthrough and became a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

His eyes narrowed, and his face frowned as he realized that despite Feng Xue's cultivation was a bit weaker compared to him, her spiritual pressure was somewhat overwhelming him at the present.

In fact, her presence reminded him of his first brother, the first demon prince.

It was an oppressive presence that made him felt like an ant.

He shook his head inwardly; How could someone who only recently breakthrough to the Golden Core stage could be compared to his senior brother—who only needed a little more time to join the rank of Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

Although he didn't fear Feng Xue since he still had a powerful trump card, he didn't want to become complacent and kept his eyes on Feng Xue's action. Who could tell what powerful move she hid under her sleeve?

On the other hand, Ming Xiong was unable to perceive Snowy's cultivation. He, like other peoples, couldn't see through her concealment technique even with his vastly superior cultivation.

'It must be an earth-rank concealment technique or even a heaven-rank technique!' Ming Xiong overjoyed by the fact that a treasure trove appeared right in front of his eyes right now.

If he can capture Snowy, it was akin to kill two birds with one stone: he would make a big contribution to his sects by giving them Snowy's secret technique, and he could use her to blackmail Feng Xue and even made both of them became his slave. How could he waste such a godsend opportunity?

"Are you the one who beat my fellow disciple?" said Ming Xiong to Snowy with a cold voice.

"Yes. Do you want to get revenge?" replied Snowy in a nonchalant tone.

He laughed like crazy before eventually answer, "Why do I need to get revenge for that trash? I don't even care if you kill him! But, you had crossed the line and embarrassed Heavenly Blood Sect in public, you must pay for this disgrace with your life!"

"Fortunately for you, I'm in a good mood. I will give you a chance to survive lest people will think I am a bully. I'll give you three moves. If you can hit me just once, I'll let you keep your life," said Ming Xiong.

Feng Xue couldn't stand Ming Xiong's taunt anymore and about to step in front of Snowy to replace her, but suddenly Snowy grabbed her hand and whispered something into her ears.

"Let me handle this, Xue."

"But I felt this is so fishy, it might be dangerous."

"Don't worry. I know what makes him so confident. Besides, I don't know why but I have an urge to leave my handmark on his smug face."

"Hehehe...This side of you is so charming~,"

"Stop flirting, you two! Mind the TPO please; time, place, and occasion, remember?" said Rong Hua with a fed-up voice as she was forced to eat dog food in the past three days.[1]

Feng Xue just rolled her eyes and ignored the rabbit.

Ming Xiong felt his blood boiling as he saw Snowy still so carefree and didn't take him seriously.

He then roared at Snowy, "Do you want to test my patience, woman?"

"You want me to hit you? Are you sure?"

Snowy didn't answer him and asked him for confirmation instead.

"Do you think I'm joking?" sneered Ming Xiong.

"No," said Snowy as she shook her head while looking at Ming Xiong with pity, "But I think there is something wrong with your head."

"Stop your nonsense and just hit me before I change my mind!" shouted Ming Xiong angrily.

"Why are you so insistent getting hit by me?" asked Snowy while rubbing her chin as if pondering about something.

"Are you a masochist?"

Her words made all the spectators cover their mouths afraid that they would accidentally spill a burst of laughter. They didn't want to feel Ming Xiong's wrath and ended up as a corpse.

'Who taught her such perverted word?!' Feng Xue's eyes nearly popped out from its socket. She instantly guessed the culprit and glared at a particular white rabbit who still played innocent.

Ming Xiong was nearly vomiting blood due to excessive anger. First, Snowy insulted him by saying something wrong with his head, and then he was called a masochist. For fucks sake, how could someone be this infuriating?

If it weren't for the benefit of capturing her alive, he would have already shred Snowy to pieces.

"So, I just need to hit you?" Snowy asked Ming Xiong once more.

"Are your brain just for decoration? I've already told you, If your moves managed to land on me even once, I'll let you live," said Ming Xiong snappily.

"Is slap counted as a hit?"

Snowy's eyes sparkled like a child who got a new toy.

"Do you think you can slap me?" said Ming Xiong in a mocking tone.

"Don't know if I don't try," said Snowy while shrugging her shoulder.

"Okay, don't waste my time, three moves, that's all. If you can't hit me, your life will be mine!" laughed Ming Xiong.

"Okay."

Snowy figure blurred. No one could saw her moving.

"First!"

Snowy's voice entered into Ming Xiong's ear as her body appeared 1 foot in front of Ming Xiong.

"Hehehe… Got you!"

Ming Xiong cracks a peal of laughter as soon as he saw Snowy entered his designated area.

"Snowy, stop!! It's a trap!" shouted Feng Xue in panic.

But it was too late. A bright light had already enveloped Snowy's body.
