d to be true, our Jingju Bureau will provide a reward." Leng Bingbing said as she frowned again slightly, "May I ask what your name is and can I see your ID""I know who planted the bomb on that beggar...Chapter 996 Another Defeat

"Why aren't you bleeding from anger this time" Summer sounded slightly disappointed. He recalled that the last time Song Yumei had been so enraged by his touch that she bled from her throat, and he was looking forward to doing it again this time. However, although it seemed like she was quite angry, she didn't bleed.

A crystal clear hand suddenly appeared before Summer's eyes as Song Yumei swiftly slapped at his chest. Despite the appearance of reluctance, Summer had already been waiting for a chance and all his strength was concentrated in this slap.

"Bang!" The two palms collided with an explosive sound, sending waves of energy scattering around like an unexpected explosion.

"Eh..." Summer stumbled backward several steps, his face turning red as he spat out a mouthful of blood. In contrast, Song Yumei stood firmly in place, completely still and seemingly unharmed, leaving no doubt that there was still a significant gap between her and Summer.

Strangely enough, Song Yumei just stood there without continuing her attack and remained completely still.

"Hey, I know you're more powerful than me, but don't act tough. I can tell that you've been injured too!" Xia Tian looked at Song Yumei somewhat displeased. "If you want to spit blood, just do it. No one else is around anyway, and I won’t spread the word."

Song Yumei remained silent but her gaze toward Xia Tian turned even colder.

"You think remaining silent can prevent you from spitting blood I know that your body was already injured before; it's just suppressed by you. That’s why I intentionally fought with you, and now you can’t suppress the injury anymore" Xia Tian looked very self-satisfied. "Just admit it then! Don't think being slightly better than me in combat means anything. Regardless of how much stronger you are than me, you’re still no match for me right now. No one else can heal your injuries but me. So if I die, you’ll definitely be dead too."

Song Yumei remained silent once again while Xia Tian slowly took out two silver needles and approached her with slow steps. He even spoke as he walked: "Ah, I’m being very kind here. Do you want me to treat your injuries This time, I promise that I really will heal you without restraining you or groping all over your body. Also, I won’t spank you, not even once... just one..."

"Shut up... *gurgle!*" Song Yumei suddenly let out a sharp cry and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just at this moment, Xia Tian's playful smile vanished instantly. The two silver needles in his hand were plunged into his own head all of a sudden, and almost simultaneously, he lunged towards Song Yumei, delivering continuous palm strikes that enveloped her with an instant flurry of shadows. He seized the opportunity to launch his most vicious attack on Song Yumei!

The previous attempt had already allowed Xia Tian to determine that he was still not a match for Song Yumei when it came purely to martial arts, but he also knew that she had weaknesses. Through Ning Jie's body, the ice and fire spiritual energy planted inside Song Yumei was still waging battle with her. As such, she could only divert some of her strength to suppress the ice and fire spiritual energy. Therefore, Xia Tian had just exerted all his might in a direct confrontation with her. Although he was injured from this clash, so too was Song Yumei attacked by the ice and fire spiritual energy within her body, suffering considerable injuries.

Back when they were in the capital city, while using silver needles to immobilize Song Yumei due to his dissatisfaction with her threats, he had molested her. Not only did he kiss her, but also groped every part of her body through her clothes and gave her a harsh beating on her buttocks. He knew that she always acted haughty as if no one could touch her; she must have been harboring resentment over this matter all along. Hence, to provoke her, he deliberately spoke in a manner calculated to upset her, which was precisely what happened now: She had been triggered into spitting blood once more. At this moment, Xia Tian immediately used the silver needles to tap into his potential and boost his strength momentarily, launching an offensive against Song Yumei with everything he had. This would determine whether or not he could defeat her; if he couldn’t accomplish that even now, then there was nothing he could do to her for the time being. His only option might be to flee as he did last time.

Xia Tian unleashed dozens of palm strikes within an instant, but it seemed like Song Yumei failed to react in time and remained standing still. As a result, all these palm strikes landed precisely on her without missing their mark.

Summer's heart was suddenly filled with joy, it seemed that the woman had indeed been severely affected by his psychological tactics. No wonder Third Master once said that sometimes psychological warfare can also be a powerful weapon!

But Summer soon realized that he was too early to be happy because he suddenly noticed that his palm hadn't landed on Song Yumei's body, but rather on something soft and hard to grip. Upon taking another look, he couldn't help but freeze in place; this woman truly is formidable!

Indeed, Song Yumei had stood still the entire time, but those black silk ribbons that surrounded her body started moving. They rotated at an incredibly fast speed and formed a circle around Song Yumei’s body, looking like a black cocoon. However, this cocoon was constantly spinning rapidly as Summer's dozens of palms struck it; all his seemingly powerful true energy was instantly absorbed by the cocoon!

"Oh no, looks like I have to run!" Summer felt somewhat dejected. He truly didn't want to flee, but given that he couldn’t defeat this woman now and had just used a method of temporarily boosting his powers which would lead to side effects later on, if he didn't leave now, it might be too late for him to escape when the time came.

Summer said he was fleeing and instantly started retreating backwards at high speed. Just then, the black cocoon that enveloped Song Yumei suddenly burst open, and dozens of black silk ribbons formed a large net which shot towards Summer!

At the same time, a cold voice rang in Xia Tian's ears: "If you dare to escape, I will kill all your women!"

Hearing this sentence, Xia Tian immediately froze. In an instant, those dozen black ribbons wrapped around his body, binding him tightly like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling). Then he was lifted into the air and crashed heavily onto Song Yumei's feet.

"Hey, I thought you were such a powerful person; how can you use such low-level tactics Don't tell me you're not ashamed" Xia Tian glared at Song Yumei indignantly. In his heart, he had cursed her countless times. She actually threatened to kill his wives. This was outrageous! One day, no matter what, he would get rid of this woman and punish her properly before doing so. He wanted her to know the consequences of threatening him with killing his wives!

"You despicable mortal, you dare to insult me and repeatedly disgrace me I have said it before: I must make your life a living hell! Therefore, rest assured, I won't kill you; instead, I will let you live and suffer slowly!" Song Yumei stared down at Xia Tian with her cold eyes. "Originally, I wouldn’t consider using such methods on someone like you, but since you are so fond of running away and have a decent escape skill set, then I can only resort to this once. Anyway, it's not much trouble to use such despicable methods against someone as lowly as you!"

"Hey, don’t call me mortal all the time; be careful or next time I will undress you and hang you on a tree!" Xia Tian said discontentedly. This woman really thought of herself as a fairy. Even his so-called ‘Sister Fairy’ didn’t consider him to be one.

"Shut up!" Song Yumei shouted angrily, "If you dare to speak such filth again, I'll kill your wife Qiao Xiaoqiao right now!"

Before Xia Tian could respond, Song Yumei snorted coldly: "I know you're very capable; you can turn an ordinary person into a martial arts expert quickly. But let me tell you, no matter how powerful those women of yours are now, it would be easy for me to kill them. If you want them safe and sound, then you'd better behave yourself in front of me!"

"Hey, what exactly do you want" Xia Tian said unhappily: "I'll tell you this: I won't reveal where my Fairy Sister is. Should you really dare to kill my wife, I'll wipe out every single one of your Song family members too!"

"Even if you exterminate the entire Song family, it has nothing to do with me!" Song Yumei said coldly: "But rest assured, I won't force you to tell me where Yue Qingya is now. Because I believe it won’t be long before you beg me to reveal her whereabouts!"

Suddenly, Song Yumei kicked Xia Tian savagely, sending him flying several meters high into the air before he crashed heavily onto the ground with a thud that made Xia Tian frown in pain. Yet, he held back from making any sound; there was no way he would show weakness to this woman.

"You damned woman, wait just a few more months and I will definitely strip you naked, hang you on the tree, whip your body with a leather strap, and beat you one hundred times each day—no, make it a thousand. Then I'll chain you up and lock you beneath the cliffs of Green Peak Mountain..." Summer was thinking of various ways to take revenge on Song Yumei in his mind; he now felt that simply killing her would be too lenient!

"Summer, let me tell you, what happened between us today has nothing to do with Yue Qingya. Now, because a scoundrel like you dared to defile me, this is our personal grudge! I will not kill you; such an outcome would be far too lenient for someone like you. Instead, I'll start by slowly torturing you!" Song Yumei said in a cold voice.

"Hey, if you're going to torture me, then just get on with it and stop being so indecisive! I'm not afraid of your torture!" Summer grumbled somewhat irritably. "Also, when you torture me now, don't think that I won’t take my revenge in the future. So, if you want to avoid me torturing you too severely in return, then don’t try too hard to torture me now. By the way, let me tell you something: I am a Divine Physician, and thus I’m not afraid of your torture because I can treat my own injuries. If you do not have any better methods to torment me, then it would be best if you just let me go."

"Summer, have you ever imagined how an individual who was once extremely powerful, capable of bullying anyone they wanted, would feel when they suddenly become incredibly weak and powerless—subjected to everyone's ridicule" Song Yumei asked each word carefully.rting to doubt if there’s actually such a person.""Alright, tell me which city that fool is in," Summer casually asked. "When I have time, I'll go there and see if I can find him and give him what he...
