Chapter 90
Chapter 90: Kneel Down, Open Your Mouth
On this side, Ji Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed, and she pouted before coldly saying, “You’re the one looking for death!”
With that, a burst of pink demonic energy erupted from within her body. Then, fine pink spider silk shot out in all directions, intercepting all of Jiang Qingni’s ice spikes!
Afterward, with a single grip of her small hand— Bang…
The countless ice spikes in the air were all crushed into dust by her spider silk!
“Demon?”
Opposite her, Jiang Qingni’s delicate brows slightly furrowed as her ice-blue eyes fixed on Ji Xiaoyao.
Of course, she could tell that Ji Xiaoyao was a demon!
Moreover, Ji Xiaoyao’s strength wasn’t weak—probably at the Fifth Realm of Extreme Martial Arts as well!
She hadn’t expected that there would be someone of this caliber by Ling Xue’s side.
“How about this: I ask, and you answer!”
Ling Xue’s cold voice echoed, “If your answers satisfy me, perhaps… you’ll be able to walk away unharmed, back to where you came from.”
Judging by Jiang Qingni’s tone, she didn’t care about Ye Feng. She even looked down upon his inferior bloodline. So… she wasn’t seeking revenge for Ye Feng. It must be for her mother. For a reputation.
If that was the case, then there might still be room for discussion.
After all, Ling Xue was indeed curious about where these people—who never appeared in the original story—came from.
“Where did you come from? And your mother… who is she?” Ling Xue continued to ask.
Opposite him, Jiang Qingni coldly stared at Ling Xue, her reply equally frosty: “You don’t deserve to know!”
Upon hearing this, Ling Xue’s brows slightly furrowed, a hint of impatience creeping onto his face.
This sister of Ye Feng, with her arrogant and condescending attitude, was beginning to irritate him.
In this world, aside from Yun Luoxi, who dared to speak to him like this?
Even Yun Luoxi’s words were never this unpleasant.
It seemed this woman… needed some discipline!
“Not worthy? Very well!”
Ling Xue’s tone grew even colder: “I quite enjoy making those who don’t want to speak, speak!”
With that, Ling Xue glanced at Ji Xiaoyao.
Ji Xiaoyao nodded, then stretched out her two small hands, her ten fingers curling.
“Prepare to die!”
In the next moment, she shot toward Jiang Qingni, her ten fingers trailing razor-sharp, nearly indestructible threads that slashed through the air.
“Heavenly Net!”
With a low growl from Ji Xiaoyao, countless pink threads surged forward, wrapping around Jiang Qingni’s entire body, tightening as they closed in!
“Overconfident!”
Jiang Qingni let out a cold snort: “Today, I’ll show you that even within the same realm, the gap can be as vast as a chasm!”
Boom!!!
With that, an icy blue chill exploded from within her.
The terrifying cold instantly froze Ji Xiaoyao’s spider silk.
As the frost crept in, Ji Xiaoyao’s threads turned as brittle as ice crystals.
With a casual wave of her hand, Jiang Qingni shattered all of them, turning them into countless glittering ice shards that dissipated into the air.
“Not bad. Let’s go again!”
Despite her failed move, Ji Xiaoyao launched another attack.
At the same time, Yan Kui and Qing’er, who were beside Ling Xue, also leaped into action.
Although the two of them were significantly weaker than Jiang Qingni and Ji Xiaoyao, since they were here, they might as well fight.
A massive black fox, over a hundred meters tall, materialized from Qing’er’s vast demonic aura, pouncing toward Jiang Qingni.
Meanwhile, an immense flame burst forth from Yan Kui’s body, and a crimson pillar of fire shot directly at Jiang Qingni.
Jiang Qingni let out another cold snort, unleashing an overwhelming icy blue chill that repelled both Qing’er’s and Yan Kui’s attacks.
The three of them continued their assault!
Although Jiang Qingni was also in the Fifth Realm of Extreme Martial Arts, even within the same realm, there could still be a disparity.
She was indeed slightly stronger than Ji Xiaoyao.
With her strength alone, she could handle the combined attack of Ji Xiaoyao and the other two.
But even so, she was only slightly stronger than Ji Xiaoyao.
Defeating Ji Xiaoyao wouldn’t be easy either.
Unless both of them fought with all their might!
But neither of them would go that far, and that wasn’t what Ling Xue wanted to see.
For now, he needed Jiang Qingni alive. There were still many questions he needed to ask her!
And to make a self-righteous woman like Jiang Qingni speak… Ling Xue had just the solution.
At that moment, Ling Xue raised his palm, and a sharp, blood-red metal fragment hovered in his hand.
And then, Ling Xue charged toward Jiang Qingni like a shooting bullet.
With Jiang Qingni’s strength, she naturally sensed Ling Xue’s sneak attack.
She merely snorted coldly, “An ant trying to shake a tree!”*
[*” An ant trying to shake a tree” (蚍蜉撼树, pí fú hàn shù)” – A Chinese idiom meaning to attempt something far beyond one’s ability, implying futility.]
Then, she casually waved her hand.
An ice shield materialized beside her.
In her opinion, with Ling Xue’s mere strength in the First Stage of Extreme Martial Arts, she could easily deflect his attack with just a casual move. But this time, she was wrong!
As soon as the blood-red shard shot out from Ling Xue, it pierced right through her ice shield.
It was as if it passed through the air, meeting no resistance at all.
At that moment, Jiang Qingni suddenly realized something was wrong.
She hurriedly dodged away!
Whoosh!
The metallic fragment flew past. Although it didn’t cause significant damage, it left a small cut on her fair cheek.
Jiang Qingni’s expression instantly turned icy cold.
She slowly raised her hand and touched the bloodstain on her face.
Then, an unprecedented fury erupted in her ice-blue eyes. “My face!!!”
No woman doesn’t care about her face.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares.
And she was, of course, a beautiful woman.
Naturally, she always cherished her appearance!
But now, a mark had been left on her smooth face by Ling Xue!
She couldn’t bear it, not at all.
“Ling Xue! I was planning to give you a chance, but today… no one can save you!”
Immediately, she roared in rage.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a monstrous chill swept through the heavens and earth.
The terrifying cold air directly sent Ji Xiaoyao and the other two flying backward!
Afterward, Jiang Qingni locked her gaze on Ling Xue and dashed towards him.
Originally, she had indeed intended to give Ling Xue a chance, because she had never seen a man as stunningly handsome as him.
But now, Ling Xue had injured her face!
She had immediately abandoned all other thoughts.
Now, she only wanted to kill Ling Xue, to personally end him!
“Not good!”
Ji Xiaoyao frowned upon seeing this. With Ling Xue’s current strength in the First Stage of Extreme Martial Arts, he probably couldn’t withstand this woman.
However, opposite her, a faint smile curved at the corners of Ling Xue’s lips at that very moment.
The next second…
Buzz!!!
Just as Jiang Qingni was about to touch him, a sudden buzzing sound echoed.
A massive black ancient tower soared into the sky!
It was none other than the Asura Purgatory Tower!
Ling Xue’s goal was obviously to lure Jiang Qingni into this ancient tower.
The sixth floor… was now empty!
It was perfect for dealing with Jiang Qing, who was in the Fifth Stage of Extreme Martial Arts.
“Hmph! Do you think you can escape?”
As expected, the enraged Jiang Qingni snorted coldly. Without a second thought, she flew straight into the ancient tower.
Leaving Ji Xiaoyao and the others standing outside, watching helplessly.
“Haha! I get it, Master wants to lure her into the tower to control her!” Ji Xiaoyao realized belatedly.
“You were released from this tower too?” Qing’er’s beautiful eyes glanced toward Ji Xiaoyao.
“Yep, what about you?” Ji Xiaoyao looked back at her.
“Mhm! We’re kindred spirits!” Qing’er flashed a charming smile.
“Then I’ll call you big sister! Hehe!” Ji Xiaoyao grinned widely.
Qing’er nodded without objection.
“What… floor were you released from?” At this moment, Yu Youyou flew over, curiously looking at Ji Xiaoyao.
“The sixth floor!” Ji Xiaoyao answered truthfully.
“Hiss… the sixth floor?”
Yu Youyou was instantly dumbfounded. “How did he get to the sixth floor? He’s only at the First Stage of Extreme Martial Arts!”
“I don’t know either!” Ji Xiaoyao scratched her head.
She didn’t think too much about it, but if she were more attentive, she’d understand that Ling Xue used a small, extremely penetrative shard to enter the sixth floor.
“This tower… is quite strange! It seems like there are spaces opened up inside?” Yan Kui was also staring at the massive Asura Purgatory Tower, his aged face filled with contemplation.
“Indeed! Each floor is an independent space, and each one holds a powerful demon or void creature!” Yu Youyou replied.
Yan Kui nodded in understanding.
So Qing’er and Ji Xiaoyao’s origins make sense now.
They were brought out from this ancient tower by Ling Xue.
This young master had quite a few treasures on him!
�
At that moment, inside the tower, Ling Xue shot upward at high speed.
Jiang Qingni, following closely behind, relentlessly pursued him.
The two quickly passed through the second floor, the third floor…
Finally, they arrived at the sixth floor!
Here, the remnants of the spiderwebs left by Ji Xiaoyao still hung around, forming a pink, web-filled cave.
Upon arriving, Ling Xue stopped in his tracks.
Jiang Qingni also soon caught up!
But the moment she entered, Ling Xue’s mind stirred.
The power of the Asura Purgatory Tower pressed down on her.
Suddenly, Jiang Qingni felt something strange happening within her body.
It was as if… she was being suppressed by something.
However, this suppression didn’t physically weaken her.
It was a bizarre feeling.
The next moment, a burst of spiritual energy surged from her body, gathering in front of Ling Xue and condensing into a black ancient tower mark!
Jiang Qingni furrowed her brows. At that moment, she felt something odd.
It was as though… a shackle had suddenly been placed upon her.
And this shackle was something she could not resist, no matter what.
What she didn’t know was that the key to this shackle… was the black ancient tower mark.
Ling Xue raised his hand and absorbed the black ancient tower mark into his body.
In an instant, a bond was established between him and Jiang Qingni.
An unbreakable master-servant bond.
Jiang Qingni could faintly sense this, but she couldn’t figure out what was happening.
She immediately snorted coldly, “Stop playing tricks! Your life is mine!”
In the next moment, she charged at Ling Xue again.
At this moment, Ling Xue stood still, quietly watching as Jiang Qingni closed in on him.
Then, a sinister smile slowly spread across his lips.
When Jiang Qingni noticed that eerie smile on Ling Xue’s face, a wave of unease surged in her heart.
She didn’t understand why she felt this way.
She simply pushed that feeling down and continued her assault on Ling Xue!
The next moment, Ling Xue softly uttered two words.
“Kneel.”
These two words carried an indescribable authority, an irresistible force.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qingni, who had been about to strike Ling Xue, felt her legs give out, and she knelt uncontrollably!
Just like that, after dashing forward, she fell to her knees before Ling Xue with a thud.
This sudden turn of events left Jiang Qingni’s expression drastically changed.
Her ice-blue eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
What?
What am I doing?
Why did I kneel?
She raised her head, looking up at Ling Xue in shock, “What did you do to me?”
She could only attribute everything to Ling Xue.
It had to be him! Otherwise, how could she be so out of control?
As she spoke, her entire body struggled to stand up.
But she just couldn’t control herself and couldn’t stand!
“Shhh…”
Ling Xue smiled coldly, stepping forward to stand over her, and looking down at Jiang Qingni. “Don’t move! Move when I let you… move!”
As he spoke, he raised his hands, gently stroking Jiang Qingni’s hair.
At this moment, Jiang Qingni knelt before him, right between his legs.
Like this, his hands cradled her head.
Seeing the smile on Ling Xue’s face, Jiang Qingni’s heart filled with even more dread.
What does he want?
What else is he going to do?
Under Jiang Qingni’s anxious gaze, Ling Xue uttered a sentence that made her pupils constrict.
“Now, open your mouth!”
