He Xi cursed in her heart, but there was a mocking smile on her face. "We have to see if you have that ability!"
When she finished her sentence, she moved her body and had already got out of the man's grasp—and a meter away from him.
Her hands kept moving like a phantom; countless invisible needles were shot towards the man in front of her mercilessly.
However, the scene that He Xi imagined of the man being pricked like a porcupine did not appear.
The invisible needles suddenly stopped in midair when it was within a three-inch radius of the man as if they were caught in an invisible barrier.
The man looked very delighted and extended his gentlemanly and long fingers to pinch one of the needles in his hand.
Emotionally, he looked at the silver needle in his hand and felt a rush of coldness spread throughout his body from his fingers.
"This needle is pretty interesting. It's made by million-year-old black ice, right? Oh, it seems like there's some magical spiritual power in it. That's why it can hurt cultivators of the Training of Qi and Foundation Establishment.
"However, these things are of no harm to me."
The man's fingers were long, looked like jades, and had distinct joints. With a gentle rub of his fingertips, the invisible needle turned into air and disappeared.
He Xi's face darkened. The next moment, she saw a blur in front of her and the man—who was originally standing far away—suddenly grabbed her wrist again.
There was a huge change in He Xi's expression as her body flew into the air, and her figure was just like a spiritual cat, trying its best to escape from his grasp.
However, the black-clothed man was much faster. With the extension of his arm, his fingers suddenly grabbed her belt; in a moment, she was brought back into his arms. "How is it? Are you satisfied with my abilities?"
The warm breath blew at her ears as the right hand holding the needle was trapped behind her back. Her body was also securely pressed down by his muscular chest, causing her to be unable to move.
He Xi was so angry until her face turned as red as a beetroot, and she hollered, "Let go!"
However, her struggles only made both their bodies even closer. This fiery interaction made the man's eyes, which were originally concealing a smiling intention, darken. He lowered his body, and his breath was humid as he said in a seemingly joking manner. "Young lady, if you move again, I'll take it as you're trying to seduce me…"
Before he finished his sentence, the man's evilly charismatic face darkened.
He let go of his hand and turned his head to look at his shoulder. There was an average-looking silver needle that poked through his clothes and was inserted into his skin, causing fresh, red blood to soak the black shirt.
The man slowly raised his head. His gaze landed on the girl smiling coldly not far away, and her eyes were squinting dangerously.
This young lady actually hurt him!
Even without him using his cultivation—just based on his martial arts skills, there were very few people who could hurt him in the entire Jin Ling Country… let alone an ordinary girl with no cultivation.
He Xi's bare foot stepped on the bedside step, and her clothes were being blown up without a wind. Her face was filled with unruliness. "With your abilities? You need to wait until your next life before you can satisfy me."
However, the next moment, there was a big change in He Xi's expression as an enormous suppressing feeling came in like a crazy wind. Her vital points were as if suppressed by a gigantic hand, hurting more than ever.
The blood quickly faded from her face, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. Finally, she could not take it any longer and—wah! Blood rushed out of her mouth.
This was the coercion that belonged to highly-skilled warriors. Under such coercion, He Xi felt as though she was a small ant that could be trampled and made to ashes anytime and anywhere.
