Chapter 44 Snow Maiden Learns Martial Arts

"Moreover, if we alert them, they might harm the people."

Xia Bing nodded.

Zi Nu makes a good point.

"What should we do then?"

"Lure them out of their hole," Xia Bing said, "Let them come to me on their own."

"How do I do it?"

"Spread rumors that someone has offended me," Xia Bing said. "If they want to curry favor with their new master, they'll definitely come after me."

"By then..." he sneered, "we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Zi Nu looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Xia Bing, you really are..."

"What really is it?"

"She's truly unpredictable," Zi Nu shook her head. "Sometimes she's very gentle, and sometimes... she's quite ruthless."

"Be gentle when you need to be, and ruthless when you need to be," Xia Bing said. "To be merciful to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself."

"That's true."

……

Two days later.

The message was spread and had a good effect.

The news that Xia Bing had "offended" a powerful figure spread like wildfire.

That night.

Xia Bing was resting in the courtyard when she suddenly heard a noise outside.

"Here you are." He smiled.

"Xia Bing." Jing Ni walked over. "There are people outside."

"I know." Xia Bing stood up. "You all stay here and don't come out."

"I'll stay with you," Jingni said.

"No need," Xia Bing shook her head. "I'm fine on my own."

He walked to the courtyard gate and opened it.

Sure enough, a group of men in black were standing outside the door.

The leader was a burly man with a face full of scars.

"You're Xia Bing?" the burly man shouted.

"It's me." Xia Bing leaned against the doorframe. "Are you from Bai Yuan's group?"

"Hmph, you're smart to know your place," the burly man said. "I heard you offended someone you shouldn't have?"

Who did you offend?

"Enough talk!" the burly man waved his hand. "Brothers, let's go!"

A group of men in black rushed up.

Xia Bing's lips curled up.

"court death."

He flashed into the crowd.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sounds of fists and feet rang out continuously.

In the blink of an eye, the men in black were all lying on the ground.

The big man's eyes widened.

"You...you're a master of innate level?!"

"Nonsense." Xia Bing slapped him on the chest. "If you weren't at the Innate Realm, would you dare to hang around here?"

The burly man coughed up blood and flew backward.

"Take me to Bai Yuan." Xia Bing stepped on his chest. "Otherwise, you die."

The big man was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Okay...okay...I'll take you there..."

……

Half an hour later.

Xia Bing arrived at the mountain stronghold outside the city.

The mountain stronghold was small, surrounded by a wooden fence, with several guards at the entrance.

"Open the door," Xia Bing said.

The burly man trembled as he begged someone to open the door.

Xia Bing entered the mountain village without any obstacles.

Soon, he arrived at the main hall of the mountain stronghold.

There was a person sitting in the hall.

The man was dressed in all black, with a cold demeanor and sharp eyes.

"Are you Bai Yuan?" Xia Bing asked.

"It's me." Bai Yuan stood up. "You're Xia Bing?"

"That's right."

"You barged in here all by yourself, aren't you afraid of dying?"

"You think you can kill me?"

Bai Yuan's eyes narrowed.

He sensed it.

The aura emanating from Xia Bing... is very strong.

He's much better than him.

"You are... at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm?"

"More or less." Xia Bing didn't want to explain too much. "Bai Yuan, I'm here today to give you a choice."

"What choice?"

"Surrender, or die."

Bai Yuan's expression changed drastically.

"You...you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Not afraid?" Xia Bing sneered. "Then try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Bai Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He couldn't see Xia Bing's movements at all.

"Bang!"

She slapped him on the chest.

Bai Yuan was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall and spitting out blood.

"This..." he exclaimed, his eyes wide. "How is this possible..."

"I've already said it," Xia Bing walked up to him, "surrender, or die."

Bai Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression.

After a long time, he sighed.

"I... surrender."

"Be pragmatic." Xia Bing nodded. "Then restrain your people and stop bullying the common people."

"otherwise……"

"Otherwise, you die."

Bai Yuan trembled.

"Yes...I understand..."

Xia Bing turned and left.

As he reached the door, he glanced back.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you."

"I hate people who bully ordinary people the most."

"If you do it again..."

"It's not that easy to talk to."

Bai Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Xia Bing turned and left.

……

Back in the city.

Xia Bing went to Zi Lan Xuan and told Zi Nu about the situation.

"You made Bai Yuan surrender?" Zi Nu was somewhat surprised.

"Yes." Xia Bing nodded. "He brought fifty men, all of them desperados."

"These people might come in handy later."

"You want to subdue them?"

"Why not?" Xia Bing asked. "Their martial arts skills are not weak; they're just unruly."

"Now that I've beaten him into submission, he should behave himself for a while."

Zi Nu looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Xia Bing, you're such an interesting person."

"What do you mean?"
