The woman that appeared couldn't be older than thirty or so. Her features could be considered above average but nothing remarkable. However, what was remarkable was her physique and the outfit she wore. It was a form-fitting black silk dress that hung from her shoulders like a second skin. The material was so thin that it was totally transparent.
Beneath her slender neck and pale white shoulders, a pair of small meat buns strained for attention. Although she wasn't very large, her nipples were quite eye-catching. Long and erect, the pink nubs created fascinating ridges in the silk that cascaded downward.
She was very fit. Her muscles were toned and her abs were amazing. Tall and slender, she presented the image of a powerful female cultivator from the wild lands.
Slap!
The peaceful view was suddenly and rudely interrupted.
"Ow!" One of the men cried out in pain.
"What are you looking at? Is that good to look at?" Second Aunt Bei Hao admonished one of her husbands.
The other one that hadn't been hit quickly retreated out of her reach with an embarrassed expression.
A bright laugh followed which came from the young woman that had just appeared. She took a few steps forward to stand in front of the city lord. She raised her arms as if presenting herself to the crowd for closer inspection. She even twirled around a few times, letting them salivate over her perky ass.
She finally stopped and said lightly, "The beauty of the female body exists for the sake of men. It is our greatest weapon and that which will lead all men down the righteous path. Isn't that right, my dear city lord Chang Ping?"
Chang Ping fell to his knees and started kissing her feet, "Yes, my lady! Yes, my noble lady!"
He even found the courage to suck on the toes of her bare feet but that seemed a step too far. The woman frowned and kicked the man away. Chang Ping didn't react negatively and instead thanked her profusely as if she had actually rewarded him.
Her expression returned to normal as she turned back to the Bei Clan people.
"See?" She said, "This is the power of womanhood. Your Bei Clan has the right idea but you are still too narrow-minded."
"I don't care!" Bei Yingluo retorted, "Do you intend to protect this person?"
"Hehe, little girl, my name is Thousand Streams Qian Xi. This city is my city."
"Noisy!"
Bei Yingluo leaped into action. Her directive to be bold and wild was still fresh in her mind. Her Jade Tusk Spear shot out; a probing thrust that was still filled with the strength of several oxen.
"Rude!"
The woman named Qian Xi launched a deft kick that knocked the spear astray. And when she parted her legs during the circular movement, her see-through dress revealed even more… that she was wearing nothing down there.
"Wow!" One of the men blurted out.
Bei Yingluo was the closest so she got an eye-full. She blushed and then gritted her teeth. This woman was way too shameless!
"Take this!"
Bei Yingluo's spear shot out three times in quick succession.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Qian Xi easily defected those attacks, this time with her palms.
"Is this it? Don't tell me your master only taught you this much. Men are so fickle."
She ducked under the spear and charged forward.
The sudden change of pace and burst of spiritual energy made Bei Yingluo realize too late the dangerous situation she was in.
A palm shot out, aiming for her chest. Her spear was already out of position. She tried to block but she was too slow.
"Ah!" Bei Yingluo let out a cry as she was sent tumbling.
After rolling a few times, she recovered into a crouch and then felt her chest. She expected a heavy injury or at least a bruise but there was nothing. Her opponent was already at the Spirit Initiate Realm so her defeat was certain. There was no way for her to fight back.
"Yingluo, are you alright? I'll make that bitch pay!" Bei Yujing said.
Bei Yingluo wanted to agree but her master's voice suddenly echoed in her ear, "You can do it. Don't back down from a fight. With the Jade Tusk Spear, there is nothing below the Spirit Lord Realm that can harm you."
"Master, that was you? You protected me?" She asked.
"Yeah, though the Jade Tusk Spear is not a defensive equipment, I can still use the weapon's spiritual force in a pinch. Now go, fight!"
"Surnamed Qian!" Bei Yingluo shouted, "You can insult me and my Bei Clan but nobody is allowed to insult my master. Take this!"
She attacked again. And again.
This time around, she was filled with even more fervor and strength. Although there was a whole realm separating the two, she wielded a powerful weapon while her opponent only used her bare fists. She suffered many counterattacks but they were all blocked by Chen Wentian's careful manipulation of spiritual energy.
"Tch! What a crazy weapon." Qian Xi muttered. She rubbed her palm to try to diffuse the stinging pains from clashing with the spear, "So what if you have a good weapon? What will you do after I take it from you?"
She raised her palms toward the air and summoned her spiritual power. Her hands started to glow white and quickly spread to the rest of her body.
"Taste my Thousand Palms!"
With a shout, her hands became a blur, launching what seemed like countless attacks.
Bei Yingluo waved her spear in a defensive pattern and rapidly retreated. She felt overwhelming oppression from her opponent. She could only do her best to not get completely beaten up.
She felt so powerless. She was still at the 3rd Level of the Mind Focusing Realm. She hadn't made much progress in a whole month. Even now, she was simply surviving because of her master's help.
"Damn it!" She cursed as she was once again sent tumbling to the ground.
Her opponent was just a slut at the early levels of the Spirit Initiate Realm. It was just one realm, what was the big deal? If her opponent was one of those monkey beasts from back then, she would have ripped it to shreds already. Where was her power when she needed it? She really needed it, right now!
The pair kept on fighting for what seemed like forever. Bei Yingluo was much weaker and had far less stamina. Although she only suffered some superficial wounds, she was running out of strength to stand firmly or hold her spear straight.
Still, she kept raising her spear again and again. Her master's worlds echoed over and over in her ear. Even when she was completely spent and her vision became blurred, she still pressed on.
The opponent in front of her was no longer a shameless exhibitionist. Qian Xi morphed into an ugly, bestial visage with brown and black fur. A memory of the past that came back to life.
Bei Yingluo's family was behind her and this vicious creature was threatening their lives. She had to defeat it no matter what. Even though she was far outmatched and she had no more strength…
Cha!
Something unlocked within her.
Her heart started pounding rapidly. Her eyes glowed red and crimson energy surged out of her lower dantian. This was it, this was what she had been waiting for.
