........
In this situation, standing in front of a man without clothes was almost the same. A wave of shame, anger, and even an intense murderous intent flooded her mind. Almost instantly, she had already sentenced the man in front of her to death in her heart. A man who had seen her body did not deserve to live. He must die, and his bones should be ground into dust.
"Die!!"
The woman with the cold gaze spoke those words icily, sweeping her hand in front of her.
Swish!!
A splash of water erupted beneath her palm, and the lake turned into a series of transparent water knives, infused with true energy, slicing through the air with a piercing sound as they streaked across the lake's surface, heading directly toward Yi Tianxing. Though it appeared to be just a casual sweep, the water knives blocked every inch of space, leaving no opportunity to dodge.
Although they were made from the lake's water, the sharpness of the blades was comparable to that of divine weapons, capable of cutting through metal and jade effortlessly.
"How ruthless! There was no need to kill me just for a glance," Yi Tianxing felt the murderous intent coming from the woman, his expression immediately turning cold. He slightly furrowed his brows and sternly reprimanded her. He looked at the water knives rushing toward him and, in response, waved his hand over the lake.
Drops of water immediately condensed into war arrows, forming perfectly, and shot toward the water knives, piercing through them.
Cling cling cling!!
The knives and arrows collided, exploding in the air and transforming into droplets of water that quickly scattered. Not a single water knife reached Yi Tianxing.
"You say I must die for having looked at your body, then I will really take a good look," Yi Tianxing's heart grew irritated.
His thoughts shifted, and his body shot forward, breaking through the water toward the woman.
This movement was incredibly fast, and with true energy propelling him, his body shot toward her like a swimming fish.
"Seeking death!!" The woman's cold expression nearly froze the entire lake. Seeing Yi Tianxing daring to rush toward her, her words suggested he intended to desecrate her. Her murderous intent grew even more intense.
A cold light flickered in her eyes, and suddenly, a crescent moon mark appeared on her brow, glowing with light.
"Yin-Yang Lock!!"
Without hesitation, Yi Tianxing spoke, and immediately, nine Yin-Yang Locks appeared like a long whip, diving into the lake and quickly concealing themselves, appearing right in front of the woman. Like spirit serpents, they coiled around her. The distance between them was too close, and in an instant, the nine locks wrapped around her, leaving no room to avoid.
One locked around her body, another around her hands, one more around her feet, and the others coiled around her.
In an instant, the woman was bound tightly, her body wrapped like a dumpling. The soul-shocking impact from the Yin-Yang Locks caused the crescent moon mark on her brow to vanish. The bindings further emphasized the woman's proud figure, radiating allure and temptation, her charm skyrocketing.
At the same time, Yi Tianxing lunged forward, wrapping an arm around her slender waist, pulling her delicate body into his embrace. His other hand naturally gripped her chest, feeling the soft and full flesh beneath his palm, an overwhelming elasticity that one hand could not contain.
In just a few breaths, Yi Tianxing had thoroughly touched every part of her body.
However, Yi Tianxing did not continue.
He gazed deeply at the woman in his arms, then quickly released her and swiftly swam toward the shore. Once ashore, he moved quickly, disappearing into the forest.
These actions, though long in description, had occurred in a very brief moment.
The Yin-Yang Locks that had bound the woman had long since disappeared.
A series of swift movements had given her no chance to react.
Throughout the entire process, she was completely stunned. Especially when Yi Tianxing held her, ruthlessly touching her, even invading her most private areas. A strange sensation surged within her body, and her strength seemed to vanish completely in that instant.
Only when Yi Tianxing disappeared did she fully regain her composure.
Looking at her disheveled gown, even her breasts were exposed, revealing a pale white expanse with two blueish claw marks etched upon them. Her face alternated between green and white, a mix of anger, coldness, and a myriad of unspoken emotions. All of them converged into an unstoppable rage.
Her eyes seemed ready to shoot flames, so cold that it could freeze the earth.
"Don't let me find out who you are. I won't let you go."
Her words seemed to leap out from between her gritted teeth. The murderous intent in her eyes was nearly uncontainable, and she coldly gazed at the direction in which Yi Tianxing had disappeared.
"To dare take advantage of me, to be so disrespectful, to defile my body... if I don't grind you into dust, how can I quell the hatred in my heart? You can't escape, I won't let you go."
This woman was none other than Yao Yue.
Yao Yue emerged from the water, her disheveled palace attire now fixed, and as she reached the shore, her wet garments began emitting steam, and within moments, all the moisture evaporated, leaving her clothes completely dry, without a trace.
Yet, Yao Yue's face remained as cold as ever, showing no emotion.
Her heart was already filled with endless murderous intent.
"In this world, anyone who dares take advantage of me, Yao Yue, never ends well."
"To take advantage and then run off, do you really think my body is so easy to touch? Do you think you can just take advantage of me so easily?"
A surge of hatred rose in her heart.
Women were a terrifying species. Once a woman is wronged, the consequences were the most terrifying things in the world. They could spend day and night scheming in the shadows, and for revenge, they would do anything terrifying—even things you wouldn't dare imagine. They could spend their whole lives seeking vengeance.
In the forest.
Yi Tianxing quickly moved deeper into the woods.
A strange expression appeared on his face as he shook his head and muttered to himself, "That was too reckless. It seems my willpower still needs strengthening. How could I not control myself and make such a move?"
"Fortunately, I stopped myself. If I had gone further, who knows what consequences I'd have to face?"
A sense of unease lingered in his mind.
Although he had stopped just in time, he couldn't help but bitterly smile at his earlier actions. For a woman, his behavior was almost like having defiled her body. And considering her temperament, it was clear she was no pushover. Now, he had created such a situation. If she didn't hate him with all her might, it would be a miracle. He was sure trouble awaited him in the future.
This was hardly his fault. His willpower had been too weak, and Yao Yue's temptation in the water had been so overwhelming that, in that moment, it had almost felt like instinct to make a move. If it weren't for remembering that this was the First Martial Arts Tournament and, as Brother Xiao and General Hei had mentioned, powerful beings were watching in this secret realm, he definitely didn't want to put on a public display of indecency.
That's why he stopped himself, suppressing his desires and diving into the forest, not even daring to look back, afraid that he might lose control again.
"Although I don't know who she is, I'm certain this will cause big trouble in the future."
Yi Tianxing shook his head, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the raging blood in his body, suppressing his thoughts and putting this incident aside for the moment. Now, the most important thing was to find a mount.
