Chapter 370: Close Combat
“Tch—” Xia Feng snorted disdainfully, his black eyes turning sharp and summoning the Gui Dao blade to attack Mu Qingtong. It could be said that with his current strength, even this World-Ending Witch might not be able to defeat him!
The black-dressed Woman’s golden eyes rotated, and Xia Feng immediately felt a powerful mental force surge into his mind, attempting to seize his consciousness and control his body. But it was unfortunate. His mental power had now reached 1468 soc. Anything above 1000 was considered Venerable-level mental power. In her current Spirit Unsealing state, Mu Qingtong’s mental manipulation could only control him for about half a second at most. Of course, that half-second was still quite enough to allow Mu Qingtong to defeat him completely. However, he now possessed the Encroaching Points Domain, which allowed him to consume Encroaching Points to significantly increase his mental power by one level, easily negating that half-second. The mere World-Ending Witch was no longer a threat! Therefore, dealing with this weak witch, he could toy with her first and didn’t need to rush to use the Encroaching Points Domain. Huh? Why wasn’t he in a hurry? Xia Feng froze, watching the purple chains rapidly descending from above. His golden pupils contracted sharply. Swish—the chain directly bound his right arm! His expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, his sluggish body reappeared behind the black-dressed Woman. Mu Qingtong stomped her foot, attempting to flee forward, but Xia Feng directly threw the Spirit Binding Rope, tying her right wrist! Swish—at the same time, a second chain shot from the left, encircling Xia Feng’s left ankle. Xia Feng ignored the chains and instead tugged hard on the rope, pulling the black-dressed Woman back and forcibly hugging her tightly. Thump, thump, thump—the two suddenly lost their balance and tumbled to the ground. A third chain descended from the sky, directly encircling his right ankle. The two tumbled all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window, stopping with a loud bang. Outside the window was the moonlight and thin clouds, while below, the bustling city traffic flowed densely. The Spirit Binding Rope quickly wrapped around Mu Qingtong’s underarms and thighs, and as it wrapped, it rapidly sealed her spirit pressure. Her wrists were pressed above her head by Xia Feng, her silver hair scattered messily on the ground, her cool and aloof, exquisitely beautiful little face with half-frame glasses slipping down her jade nose. Xia Feng straddled her waist, lowered his head, and quietly met her gaze. Their pupils were both spinning with gold, their thin lips and red lips less than half an inch apart, exuding warm, moist breath. Swish—another chain shot out, directly into Xia Feng’s lower back. The impact caused his body to jolt forward, and the pain made sweat bead on his forehead, his head drooping. A woman’s faint laughter whispered by his ear, “Let me briefly introduce my abilities, Mr. Xia.” “My Spirit Unsealing abilities are [Spirit Speech], [Spirit Puppet], and [Spirit’s Sacred Covenant]. Spirit Speech is hypnosis, and Spirit Puppet is the mental control of the body that you, Mr. Xia, understand.” “But Mr. Xia, with your confident look, you seem to think my Sacred Covenant progress has been negligible?” Another chain shot out and bound Xia Feng’s left arm. Xia Feng discovered that his spirit pressure was completely sealed. The woman’s red lips beside his ear continued to speak calmly and gently, leisurely explaining: “What I used just now is called [King’s Will]. It can silently influence your thoughts. Without needing a mental invasion, it can control your inner thoughts and make you act according to my will.” “So, Mr. Xia, guess how many of your decisions along the way were your own true thoughts, and not me manipulating you?” The woman by his ear whispered in a soft, ethereal voice like a devil’s murmur, making Xia Feng’s scalp tingle. This guy… Xia Feng suddenly looked up, staring intently at the woman’s golden eyes beneath him. He saw that her beautiful, even slightly alluring, golden eyes remained serene and peaceful. Her deep gaze was like a sacred lake under the moonlight of a celestial mountain, unfathomable. Bang! Her thighs and broad waist were clamped and hooked by the woman. With the help of the chains, Xia Feng couldn’t resist the immense force, and his body flipped over, easily pinned beneath the black-dressed Woman. Xia Feng was forced to let go. His black eyes sharpened, and he raised his right arm, attempting a fierce elbow strike to the woman’s chin! The woman dodged perilously, a sharp gust of wind shredding a wisp of silver hair. She clasped her fists together and raised them high before smashing them heavily towards Xia Feng’s forehead! Bang!! The ceramic tiles cracked and shattered. As Xia Feng dodged the killing blow by moving his head to the side, he forcefully thrust his hips! The black-dressed Woman lost her balance and toppled forward. Xia Feng seized the opportunity, flipped over, and regained the initiative. The two had been locked in a silent struggle for nearly half an hour, finally panting with sweat, each leaning close to the other’s ear. “Honestly, Miss Mu, this is meaningless. There will be no outcome.” Xia Feng was pinned down again, his right wrist held above his head, and he looked up helplessly. Mu Qingtong frowned. The sealing chains had indeed sealed Mr. Xia’s spirit pressure and strength as she had expected. However, what surprised her was that Mr. Xia’s newly awakened Sacred Covenant ability allowed his strength value to recover, bringing him close to her again. Because of this, the situation she had thought was a sure win had once again reached a stalemate. Xia Feng saw that the black-dressed Woman was completely out of options. He smiled and leaned in provocatively, “Actually, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome. It’s just like I said last time.” “If Miss Mu could just loudly exclaim—that you like Mr. Xia, like him the most, the very most! Like him so much you can’t help yourself! I’ll surrender to you then, how about it?” Seeing Xia Feng’s smug, annoying expression, Mu Qingtong’s calm, beautiful eyes showed no change. She simply moved her solid buttocks beneath her black dress upwards without a sound. Xia Feng’s smile froze at the corners of his lips. The itching desire in his heart instantly made his throat dry, and his pupils blazed with fire. [You have received the blessing of Fate·Greed 1, gaining ‘Vital Meridian Infinite Vitality’.] [You have received the curse of Fate·Greed 3, gaining ‘Vital Meridian Permanent Suppression’.] The heat surged from his core to his neck, flushing his cheeks. Xia Feng’s flame-burning black eyes stared intently up at the woman above him. Mu Qingtong’s cool, small face was covered in sweat, her breathing slightly labored. A strand of silver hair clung to her lips, adding a touch of lazy beauty to her intellectual temperament. Her golden half-frame glasses had not fallen off, casually resting on her delicate jade nose. Her calm, beautiful eyes reflected Xia Feng’s increasingly anxious and unbearable flushed face. Her expression was indifferent, and she moved her buttocks again. Xia Feng’s flame-spewing pupils contracted minutely and imperceptibly again. A low growl escaped his throat. He tried to reach out to dispel the suppression curse, but both his hands were held above his head, struggling with Mu Qingtong, rendering him unable to move. The Excitation Ring needed to be worn on the hand and would take effect after touching the target object, producing an ‘excitation’ effect. Therefore, to dispel the ‘Vital Meridian Permanent Suppression’ curse, he needed to touch the vital meridian. But now… “Mr. Xia, is this your limit?” The black-dressed woman’s thighs beneath her black dress tightened, and she shifted her buttocks upwards, sitting up slightly. Her golden eyes looked down from above, concisely and calmly commanding, “Beg for mercy from me.” Xia Feng clenched his molars, nearly shattering them. His eyes blazed with anger as he suppressed a hoarse growl that escaped his teeth: “You’re dreaming!!” With that, his right hand above his head turned, and he flipped it, gripping the woman’s wrist hard. Excite! Excite with all your might!
