Icy Body? I'll give you a slap.

Upon sensing the woman's Cultivation Level, Lin Feng, Wang Hao, and even Li Changfeng instantly became serious.

Xiao Ming, however, was unfazed.

With his current strength, let alone a Half-Step Divine Sea, he could forcefully kill even a true Divine Sea Realm expert!

Just as Xiao Ming and the others were sizing up their opponents, the blue-robed middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter.

“The Spirit Sword Sect wants to rise to fame, surpassing all other Sword Sects? Hahahaha!” The middle-aged man laughed heartily as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

“Li Changfeng, oh Li Changfeng, I knew you had a thick skin, but I never expected it to be this thick!”

“How many dishes did you have to drink that much? Or did you suffer a cultivation deviation and lose all sense of reality?!”

Without waiting for Li Changfeng to reply, the middle-aged man continued to mock him, “In the past few Eight Sects Tournaments, your Spirit Sword Sect was almost always at the bottom!”

“The last time was even worse; you and the Famous Sword Villa tied for last place, last place! If I were the Spirit Sword Sect’s sect leader, I’d just find a noodle and hang myself on the spot to avoid such humiliation!”

Subjected to such ridicule and contempt, Li Changfeng was furious but couldn't retort.

In previous Eight Sects Tournaments, the Spirit Sword Sect’s performance was indeed very poor, making it difficult for them to hold their heads high in front of many Sword Sects.

“You, surnamed Zhou, don’t get cocky and arrogant!” Li Changfeng angrily said, “This time is different from the past; my Spirit Sword Sect will definitely wash away its previous shame. At the very least, suppressing your True Martial Sword Sect will be more than enough!”

His words were actually just for show.

Li Changfeng wasn't confident whether Xiao Ming could defeat a Half-Step Divine Sea Realm expert, as he hadn't witnessed it firsthand.

However, one must not lose face, and now was not the time to back down.

“Want to suppress my True Martial Sword Sect?” The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou scanned Xiao Ming and the others one by one, disdainfully saying, “Just with these few rotten apples? One is at the Danhu Realm Great Perfection, and the other two are at the early Danhu Realm. Heh, disciples with such weak strength are a dime a dozen in my True Martial Sword Sect!”

“Oh? This young woman is quite beautiful, very alluring.”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou noticed Hu Yunxi and exclaimed in surprise.

The three disciples behind the middle-aged man had long since noticed the stunningly beautiful Hu Yunxi.

However, unlike the middle-aged man's surprise, the two male disciples stared intently at Hu Yunxi, unconsciously swallowing their saliva repeatedly.

The white-clothed woman, on the other hand, had her eyebrows raised in anger, her face filled with hostility.

Especially when she noticed that her two male companions beside her were captivated by Hu Yunxi, she became even more furious and angry.

It seemed that Hu Yunxi had stolen her thunder.

“Counting this beautiful girl, how did your Spirit Sword Sect bring four disciples?” The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou asked suspiciously, “Each Sword Sect is only allowed to send three disciples to compete. What is the meaning of your Spirit Sword Sect doing this?”

“She is my maidservant and has nothing to do with this tournament,” Xiao Ming stepped forward, blocking Hu Yunxi, and said loudly.

“Hmph! So she’s just a lowly maidservant!” Before anyone else could speak, the white-clothed woman spoke rudely, “She’s so seductive, she must be a little hussy. Is she here specifically to serve in bed?!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the Spirit Sword Sect’s side collectively changed color!

Li Changfeng subconsciously looked at Hu Yunxi, his face filled with terror.

Lin Feng and Wang Hao were also startled, feeling that this white-clothed woman was in great trouble!

Hu Yunxi was immediately enraged and was about to strike, but Xiao Ming was one step ahead. His figure flickered, instantly transforming into a gust of wind and appearing before the white-clothed woman.

Then, he raised his palm and delivered a fierce slap!

“Slap!”

An extremely loud slap echoed, and the white-clothed woman, caught off guard, was directly sent flying more than ten meters away by the powerful force!

After striking like lightning, Xiao Ming’s figure flickered again, returning to his original spot.

From his strike to his return, less than a second had passed.

Only then did the surrounding crowd react.

“You scoundrel, how dare you hit my disciple?!” The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou immediately flew into a rage, and a powerful aura surged out from his body.

Half-Step Yuqi Realm!

This middle-aged man’s Cultivation Level, like Murong Ce before him, was that of a Half-Step Yuqi Realm expert!

“Ah ah ah! You dare to hit my face, I’ll kill you!” The white-clothed woman also reacted at this moment. She clutched her red cheek, which bore a slap mark, her face showing extreme killing intent.

The next moment.

A chilling aura spread from her body, instantly covering an area of several miles. The cold qi condensed into a thick layer of frost on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Changfeng looked astonished. This white-clothed woman had probably awakened an extraordinary ice-element divine ability.

However, he showed no fear, stepping in front of Xiao Ming without hesitation.

Li Changfeng’s aura was fully unleashed, and he glared angrily, “What, does your True Martial Sword Sect want to fight? I, Li Changfeng, will accompany you to the end!”

The sudden conflict attracted the attention of many people in the square, who looked over in surprise, pointing and whispering.

Perhaps not daring to cause trouble in the Qingtian Sword Sect, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou glared fiercely at Li Changfeng and Xiao Ming, his voice laced with strong menace, “This Eight Sects Tournament, I will make your Spirit Sword Sect pay!”

After throwing out a harsh threat, the middle-aged man turned and shouted in a low voice, “Let’s go!”

“Master, this lowly man actually dared to hit me…” The white-clothed woman still clutched her red cheek, saying resentfully.

“We cannot cause trouble in the Qingtian Sword Sect, and a war of words is meaningless,” the middle-aged man shouted, “If you want revenge, then wait until the tournament begins, and kill him openly!”

Although the white-clothed woman was extremely unwilling, she dared not retort. She glared fiercely at Xiao Ming, threatening him with a voice full of killing intent, “You just wait for me! If I don’t kill you, I’m not Shen Bingqing!”

After saying that, the white-clothed woman and the others followed the middle-aged man, leaving the place in indignation.

Watching their retreating figures, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.

So, this idiotic woman who insulted Hu Yunxi was called Shen Bingqing.

Heh, you want to kill me?

I’ll kill you first, then we’ll talk!

Xiao Ming secretly made a plan: as long as conditions allowed during the tournament, he would kill this Shen Bingqing at the first opportunity!

Furthermore.

Xiao Ming had already opened the Life Viewing function early, and the results showed that neither the True Martial Sword Sect’s sect master nor the three disciples had any good opportunities.

For the current Xiao Ming, ordinary opportunities were no longer worth his attention.

However.

Shen Bingqing’s luck was quite good; it was an astonishing blue luck.

At this moment.

Li Changfeng suddenly sighed, saying worriedly, “I once heard that a few years ago, Zhou Tianquan took in a girl with the Ice Marrow Sacred Body as his closed-door disciple. Now it seems that girl should be Shen Bingqing.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming asked, “Master, I have two questions.”

“What questions?”

“First, the Zhou Tianquan you mentioned, he must be that middle-aged man surnamed Zhou from just now, right?”

“Correct,” Li Changfeng nodded.

“Second question, Shen Bingqing has the Ice Marrow Sacred Body. Is this Saint Body very powerful?”
