57: Chapter 57 Twenty years, I have waited for you for twenty years!

Upon hearing Xia Jin's words, Leng Yuexi's eyes turned red, her chest heaved violently, and she stared fixedly at Xia Jin's face.

"You... you... bas... tard! How could you forget me?!"

Leng Yuexi's words left Xia Jin completely bewildered; he was one hundred percent certain that he had never met her before.

"I say, have you mistaken me for someone else? This should be the first time we have met."

"First time we have met? A fine 'first time we have met'!" Leng Yuexi laughed in anger. "Since you have forgotten, then I will beat you until you remember!"

She pointed her finger at Xia Jin, and the cold Aura radiating from her body caused the surrounding crowd to involuntarily retreat a few steps.

"Come, fight me! If you win, I will tell you the reason. If you lose..." A flash of ruthlessness crossed her eyes, "I will take you back to the Xuanyin Sect and tor... ture... you... day... and... night! To let you properly 'recollect'!"

These harsh words, paired with her fierce expression, seemed somewhat incongruous.

Xia Jin's expression also darkened; he did not like this aggressive tone of hers.

"In that case, then today I shall witness the high-level techniques of the Leader of Xuanyin Sect! However, if you lose, then prepare to be my maid and serve me tea and water!"

"Hmph!" Leng Yuexi let out a cold snort, her figure instantly transforming into a streak of red light, shooting into the sky and speeding away towards the border of the Fenglin Kingdom.

Xia Jin stepped on the ground, likewise transforming into a streak of black light, following closely behind.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at a valley on the border, having left the Fenglin Kingdom imperial city behind in just a moment.

Leng Yuexi stood in mid-air, the mountain wind blowing through her long hair and purple dress, her eyes filled with coldness.

However, before making a move, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes. "You... be careful!"

Xia Jin was bewildered. The Leader of Xuanyin Sect had been aggressive and murderous a second ago, so why did she suddenly say that just now?

"Please."

As soon as Xia Jin finished speaking, Leng Yuexi had already made her move!

She flicked her jade wrist, and the crimson long whip in her hand, like a venomous Dragon, fiercely coiled towards Xia Jin!

Where the whip shadow passed, the pressure arrived first, actually tearing the thick clouds behind Xia Jin into two halves!

"Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level!?" Xia Jin's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not choose to dodge, but instead, a layer of faint dark golden light emerged all over his body.

Vajra Indestructible Body!

He had just entered the Spirit Wandering Realm First Level, and he wanted to use this opportunity to test whether his Physical Body could withstand a furious strike from the Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level!

"Crack!!"

When this attack landed solidly on Xia Jin's chest, it instantly produced a loud noise.

The terrifying aftermath directly snapped dozens of hundred-meter-tall trees below in half.

Xia Jin's body also shook. Under the impact of that immense force, he was sent flying backwards uncontrollably for several dozen meters before he could barely stabilize his figure.

He looked down and saw that the black Dragon robe on his chest was already torn, and a blood mark had appeared on his pale golden skin.

"Is this the strength of the Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level? It seems my current Physical Body can still withstand it!" A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Jin's face; this strike gave him a clear understanding of the strength of his current Physical Body.

However, he was not too complacent, because he knew that his current Physical Body had its limits when facing existence at the Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level. If he were to forcibly take it multiple times, even the Vajra Indestructible Body would inevitably be injured.

Moreover, Leng Yuexi's long whip was extremely special; the attack carried a bone-chilling, cold Qi that could penetrate his body's defenses and directly invade his meridians!

Fortunately, the Nine Turns Creation Sutra within his body operated on its own, and the power of creation instantly extinguished the cold Qi that had invaded his body.

"This woman! Her strength is quite good! If it were any other Spirit Wandering Realm First Level, or even a powerhouse at the Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level! I'm afraid that if they were caught off guard and took a whip, they would be seriously injured!" Xia Jin looked at Leng Yuexi not far away and couldn't help but nod.

Seeing that Xia Jin did not dodge or avoid, but instead took her furious strike head-on, the hatred originally in Leng Yuexi's eyes was instantly replaced by a trace of panic.

She knew that she hadn't held back just now! However, seeing that Xia Jin had only retreated a few dozen meters and seemed as if nothing had happened, even smiling at her, that trace of panic was immediately covered by surging anger.

This bastard! Is he looking down on me?

"Your whip actually has some tricks to it; it should be hard to find an opponent below the Spirit Wandering Realm Third Level. However, for me, it is still lacking!!"

"You...!" Leng Yuexi gritted her teeth in anger. With a cold laugh, she swung the whip in her hand again, drowning Xia Jin in it like a violent storm!

"Crack~ Crack!!"

A rumbling sound immediately echoed through the valley once again.

"It is just right for me to test the limits of my Physical Body!!" A trace of excitement flashed in Xia Jin's eyes. He still chose not to dodge; like a rock, he used his Physical Body to take these violent attacks head-on.

The aftermath of Leng Yuexi's attacks instantly caused the stone mountain, which was hundreds of meters high behind Xia Jin, to suffer.

The entire stone mountain was shattered into pieces, and the smoke and dust rising into the sky directly engulfed Xia Jin.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the black Dragon robe on Xia Jin's body was already torn to pieces, revealing his perfect upper body.

On his bronze skin, there were now several blood marks, and even one of the most severe blood marks was already slightly oozing beads of blood.

"This woman is truly a bit ruthless!" Xia Jin gasped. Since obtaining the Vajra Indestructible Body, this was the first time he had felt the sensation of pain.

Leng Yuexi looked at the scars on Xia Jin's body, the anger in her eyes suddenly dissipating, her heart feeling as if it had been fiercely tugged by something.

She suddenly flashed her figure and rushed directly in front of Xia Jin.

The two were within close range.

Xia Jin was just about to raise his right palm to strike towards her, but he saw that Leng Yuexi's gaze was fixed intently on the blood marks on his body, her beautiful eyes now filled with panic, heartache, and even a trace of... fear?

"Why didn't you dodge... why didn't you dodge!"

Her voice trembled, and as she spoke, she hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped a deeper bloodstain on Xia Jin's chest.

"Wait! You... what are you doing?" Xia Jin was startled by her actions and instinctively took a step back.

What on earth is going on with this Leader of Xuanyin Sect?

"Bastard, you didn't dodge just now, and now that I'm wiping your wounds, you actually dodge!"

Leng Yuexi's hand, which was wiping the bloodstain, suddenly stopped, and she glared at Xia Jin, gritting her teeth.

She stepped forward, grabbed Xia Jin's sturdy arm, lowered her head, and bit down hard!

"Hiss~!" Xia Jin gasped. The golden light dissipated, and his muscles instinctively tensed, but he did not shake her off.

"I... damn it! You woman, what are you doing?!"

Leng Yuexi let go, leaving two rows of clear tooth marks on Xia Jin's arm.

She looked at the tooth marks, then looked up at Xia Jin's pained face, and the emotions that had been building up for who knows how long erupted.

"Wuu... waa!"

She actually threw herself into Xia Jin's arms, wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, and began to cry loudly.

"Heartless man! Bastard! Why did you only appear now! Wuwuwu... twenty years, I have waited for you for twenty years!"

Xia Jin held up his hands, his face full of bewilderment.

What on earth... is going on?
