Domineering Woman

Chapter 9: The Silver Needle Duel

This time, Feng Wuxie faced Feng Wuxin head-on! Over the years, you have whipped and humiliated me—now I will repay you in kind! Feng Wuxie may not have cultivated the so-called soul power, but she has plenty of strength! Years of training in special forces were not in vain! She is skilled in karate, taekwondo, and even studied Jeet Kune Do, the martial art created by Bruce Lee, under a national-level martial arts instructor for a while! Jeet Kune Do—intercepting attacks, free combat, taking the essence of water to attack and counterattack, dissolving everything into nothingness. This world-renowned martial art, even without the support of soul power, remains a unique and exquisite skill. Feng Wuxie's first move caught her opponent completely off guard! Feng Wuxin was utterly stunned! What happened? She's the family's most talented soul master, and no one has ever dared to hit her... What just happened? Did this fool really snatch away her prized weapon in an instant...?

Feng Wuxin was so shocked that she nearly forgot about the searing pain on her face! As she looked around, she realized it was not an illusion! She really had her weapon taken from her! She had lost face completely! She had even been whipped by a fool with no trace of soul power! Now her left cheek was in excruciating pain, possibly even disfigured! This was an utter humiliation!

"Feng Wuxie, you wretch!" Feng Wuxin was utterly enraged, and her full soul power began to boil within her, gathering into a visible, searing red aura around her body, then converging into a single point, taking the form of a fiery phoenix that rapidly shot towards Feng Wuxie from mid-air! As the move began, Feng Wuxin proudly announced the name of her technique: "Today, I'll show you—Phoenix Fire Awakening!"

Phoenix Fire Awakening—a fire-elemental martial technique that only advanced soul masters can cultivate, and one of the highest-level techniques Feng Wuxin had mastered.

"Wuxie! Dodge! This is a killing move! You can't withstand it in your current state!" Yasha, the ancient spirit within the tower, warned her, his tone uncharacteristically tense. Normally, such a technique wouldn't even catch Yasha's eye, but being confined within the space, he was unable to help Feng Wuxie, making the situation critical!

"Damn, this is intense!" Feng Wuxie muttered in astonishment as she saw the fiery phoenix forming in mid-air, like something out of a 3D fantasy movie. She was still unfamiliar with soul arts, but judging by the fierce aura emanating from the fiery phoenix, she could tell that this technique was immensely powerful. In her panic, she couldn't think of any good way to avoid this disaster, so she made a desperate move, pulling out a handful of silver needles from her sleeve and quickly throwing them at Feng Wuxin, who was channeling her energy!

These silver needles were crafted on her second day after arriving in this world. At that time, Feng Wuxie had turned her dilapidated room upside down and found a few taels of silver! She used that silver to commission a blacksmith to forge these needles. The people in this world had never seen such fine and highly penetrating needles before; it took her a long time to explain, and the blacksmith finally succeeded, producing over 300 silver needles. Her original intent was to use them for acupuncture to regulate her own health, but she didn't expect them to come in handy at this moment!

Feng Wuxie unleashed eighteen silver needles in one breath! Each needle targeted Feng Wuxin's eighteen vital acupuncture points! Not a single needle missed! Every one hit its mark!

Feng Wuxin was struck by the needles! Immediately, she felt as if countless insects were gnawing at her bones, her entire body wracked with pain and itching, and her strength drained instantly... Moreover, her highest-level technique, Phoenix Fire Awakening, which she had gathered ten levels of soul power to unleash, dissipated in mid-air due to her insufficient energy...

Not only was she forced to withdraw her move, but the backlash from her soul power also severely injured her heart and lungs, causing her to vomit a large mouthful of blood!

"Wuxin!"

"Sis!"

These anxious cries came from Feng Wuxie's eldest uncle, Feng Ziren—Feng Wuxin's father—and Feng Wuxin's brother, Feng Wulin.

Feng Ziren, seeing his precious daughter suffering from the soul power backlash, hurriedly supported her, asking with concern, "How are you? Hang in there!"

"Father..." Feng Wuxin could only utter this word with reluctance before the uncontrolled surge of soul power in her body overwhelmed her, causing her to faint from the pain.

"Sister!" Feng Wulin could no longer hold back. He furiously grabbed Feng Ziren's sleeve, glaring at Feng Wuxie with intense hatred, gritting his teeth as he said, "Father! Why haven't you killed this unworthy, mentally deficient wretch yet? She harmed Sister!"

Seeing his beloved daughter suffer like this, Feng Ziren could no longer restrain himself. The stern facade he had been maintaining as the family head crumbled instantly.

"Take your sister back to her room, then go fetch the best healer in Qing'an City to treat her!" Feng Wulin shot a vengeful glare at Feng Wuxie, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets, before finally following his father's orders.

To be honest, Feng Wuxie hadn't expected that her silver needles would cause Feng Wuxin to suffer from a soul power backlash... She had only intended to defuse the immediate crisis, but now, seeing the expression on her uncle's face, it was clear that he wouldn't let her off easily. No matter—come what may, Feng Wuxie has never sought trouble, but she's never feared it either!
