She Would Rather Stand and Die, Than Kneel to Live

As soon as Feng Ruchu sensed danger, she dropped to the ground swiftly to avoid the ice blades. She grabbed the carcass of the firefox she had beheaded and held it in front of her as a shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ice blades continuously pierced the firefox's body. Suddenly, there was a loud 'bang' and the firefox's carcass completely disintegrated.

Feng Ruchu was shocked. Those ice blades were really dangerous!

If she had not dodged in time, she would have been ripped to shreds.

"Arrow Meteor Rain! The third young lady of the Feng family has mastered Arrow Meteor Rain!" There were surprised exclamations from the high platform where the royal family was seated.

Feng Mo'er preened under the crowd's admiration and smirked arrogantly. "Little pest, are you afraid now? Lucky for you, I am very generous. I will not hold it against you if you crawl over here, kowtow in front of me and admit your mistakes. If you do that, I will be merciful and give you a chance to live. Otherwise…"

Kowtow and admit her mistakes? Give her a chance to live?

She was speaking as though Feng Ruchu should be grateful for her 'kindness' after she had just killed her entire family. Did she really expect people to thank her for providing them with companions on their journey to the afterlife?

Feng Ruchu was a little dumbfounded by her suggestion. She shook her head and sneered, "I am scared—so scared that my legs are trembling in fear. Third Young Lady of the Feng family, you are simply too amazing! You shredded the corpse of this huge firefox with just a few ice blades. I feel it would be a huge waste if you don't use your ice blades to work in a slaughterhouse as a butcher, especially since you seem to have the skills for slaughtering pigs and cattle!"

Feng Mo'er raised her chin with a smug expression, about to say something along the lines of, "At least you know your place-" but stopped when she saw Feng Ruchu with her arms crossed over her chest, head tilted back as she laughed mockingly at her.

Her face was dirty and her clothes were torn and tattered, but her eyes shone with mischief, the amber flecks in them bright.

Feng Mo'er's features twisted in rage and she screeched, "You worthless slave, you dare ridicule me? Are you asking for death?"

"Am I asking for death?" Feng Ruchu was indifferent as she faced Feng Mo'er's fury. "Even if I did kneel before you to beg for mercy, you would never have let me go that easily."

As a master of metaphysics, she would rather stand and die than kneel to live!

"You cheap slave! Since you are asking for death, I will show you what it feels like to be torn to pieces!" Feng Mo'er was furious! She had never suffered this kind of humiliation her entire life, and the fact that it was a slave now insulting her made it a million times worse.

Feng Mo'er started to brew a water ball in her hand once again.

Feng Ruchu instinctively reached out to grab the carcass of another spiritual beast to protect herself, but Feng Mo'er had predicted she would do so and threw an ice blade directly at her feet.

Feng Ruchu suddenly felt her feet grow cold, and she looked down to see a thin layer of ice crystals forming over her calves, thighs, and abdomen before it spread to her chest and shoulders. The hand she used to grab the spiritual beast had also frozen in place.

She was completely frozen!

There was a murderous rage in Feng Mo'er's eyes as she performed her ice technique. A dark gray whirlpool hovered in the air, filled with spiritual energy and power. The sky had also turned a dark gray.

"The Ice Condensation Technique?" Someone on the high platform could not help but gasp.
