Chapter 222: A Date Turned Into Murder?

  Liu Lan was leading the charge with her glistening longsword burning fiercely. From what the clone could see, Fu Kang was using a combination of a fist art and a combative movement skill. However, he could be hiding something up his sleeve that she has yet to know about. He is a person of fate after all. Blessed by the heavens and all of that.

"It isn't often that I get to practice Flowering Domination but now that I'm in this form, I might be able to bring out its full potential. Let's see if you two are good enough to withstand it." The water clone smiled.

  She got into a martial stance. Standing perfectly balanced on her right leg with her left leg raised up. In this fight, she planned to use nothing but her legs even if it came at the cost of her own life because of it. How often did she get the chance to truly go all out with all the skills she's learned? Especially now that she was just a water clone and weaker than how she normally is. This was going to be fun if these two aren't weak.

  Princess Lan got close-up into Jing's space and slashed her sword to decapitate Jing's head. Jing crouched to the ground as she spun and tripped Princess Lan by sweeping her feet. As Princess Lan was flying overhead, a giant gorilla-like monster came from above with his fist raised to squash Jing like a bug. A playful grin appeared on Jing's face once she saw this. Instead of getting out of the way and avoiding the attack, she decided to strike at an unexpected moment.

  Fu Kang definitely didn't expect her to try and attack him after noticing him. His plan was to crush her in this attack or frighten her into jumping out of the way for Lan to stab her from the back. But since she dared to come at him head-on, he wasn't the one to not please the ladies. He put all of his strength into his fists while crashing down at her.

  Jing shot up into the air with her arm from the ground, flying towards Fu Kang with her foot like a devil's spear trying to pierce the heavens! She clashed with Fu's thick arms and briefly, the two stayed motionless in the air trying to contest with one another. But the two have already tested each other's strength and Fu Kang came out on top before.

  Fu pulled back his huge fist and smashed it at Jing's small figure. Jing used all the power behind Fu's fist to her own advantage. She kicked out with her foot and with the power from Fu's attack, used it to propel herself back to the ground at an incredible speed. Flipping in the air to land back on the ground on her feet, she used the force given by her from Fu to shoot back into the air with even more power and speed than before. Borrowing Fu's own strength to use against him!

  Jing's foot clashed with Fu's fist once again but unlike the other two times, this time, Jing came out on top. Fu was slowly being pushed further into the air. To keep her momentary advantage, she rapidly kicked out with her feet, pushing him higher and higher into the air while damaging his arms. Fu's power was great but his speed couldn't match up to Flowering Domination. For every one punch he threw out, Jing threw 3 or 5 or even 10 in the same moment to compensate for her lacking power.

  However, this advantage didn't last for long. Jing was interrupted by Princess Lan leaping towards her from behind, intent on plunging her sword through her vulnerable back. This forced Jing into temporarily halting her offensive momentum on Fu and turning around to face Princess Lan. The water clone crossed her arms while in the air as she struck out with her feet towards Princess Lan.

  Princess Lan used her sword to slash and slice at the water girl's feet. They clashed multiple times with each fiery sword strike seemingly boiling Jing's insides. Bubbles could be seen frothing from her water body but this didn't seem to bother Jing at all. A calm smile was on her face as she responded to Princess Lan's assault with a level mind and deadly fast attacks.

  Jing didn't restrain her attacks at all as she aimed at Princess Lan's flaws and vital points. Her foot could be used in the same manner as a spear, a knife, or a club. It all depended on the angle and manner of how she used her legs. As of now, it seemed to be more than enough to deal with Princess Lan but she wasn't a princess for nothing. She could see that Princess Lan was slowly improving as their fight went on. But their brief clash was too brief! They were still in the air at the moment!

  Jing flipped in the air before giving Princess Lan a decisive kick that sent her flying back to the ground. Fortunately for her, she blocked with her blade just in time to avoid it but she couldn't avoid the crash back to the ground. She turned her attention back to Fu Kang only to see a strange beast on his shoulder staring back at her. A little golden dragon glared at her before releasing a massive amount of flames from its mouth. For a dragon about the size of a cat, the flames coming out of it didn't match what Jing was looking at.

  This wasn't an attack she could avoid so easily. If these flames hit her while she still hasn't cooled down from Princess Lan's flame sword, she might just turn into steam. She wasn't sure if she could keep her consciousness if that happened despite knowing that steam was just another form of water. That was definitely something to test for later but now, she still hasn't satisfied herself. While she didn't want to hurt them too badly for Prince Jun to handle later, she still wanted to see the limits of her martial arts.

  Now wasn't the time to hold back. That dragon wasn't a simple dragon but a creature almost on the same level as the Four Symbols. It was the legendary Treasure Dragon that was said to be born to hoard all the treasure in the world. An exaggeration but whoever managed to tame this spirit beast would surely encounter all sorts of valuable priceless loot in the future. As long as they managed to keep hold of it long enough, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that his descendants, their descendants, and his descendants' descendants would all live a life with unparallel luck and wealth. The Treasure Dragon had an incredibly long lifespan incomparable to average spirit beasts.

  Jing no longer held anything back as she unleashed Flowering Domination to its full extent. A powerful yellow qi aura surrounded her body as she focused all of her strength in her legs. To the observant watcher, they would be able to see a giant phantom pair of legs floating above Jing's head. Something that both Fu Kang and Princess Lan didn't miss as they stared in shock.

  The water clone began fiercely kicking the air while spinning. Her foot impacted against nothing but the air itself but it was as if the sky was being cracked apart with each kick. With the force of her kicks, mighty air shockwaves exploded toward the dragon's flames. Each kick blew the dragon's flames back toward its own mouth and if nothing was done, it would be swallowed up by its own fire.

"Lan!" Kang called out.

"I know!" She reached into her robes.

  The two lovers took out a red pill and swallowed them whole. Fu Kang dropped back to the ground to avoid Jing's kicks and the flames as his body seemed to go under a painful transformation. Princess Lan was going through the same transformation as Kang. Both of their skins started to turn red as their flesh moved and vibrated. Their veins became visible and their eyes looked stretched. It was almost as if they were turning into demons but Princess Lan was a princess. A pampered little genius like her would never be given something that had the chance of turning her into a demon or anything similar to it. While she was sent to the Golden Serpent Sect, that didn't mean the sect allowed their students to become demons. They would have to find methods to do that outside the sect.

  In their newly transformed states, it seemed their power rose to a new level. Jing expected them to become mindless because of how monstrous they looked but it seems not. What they swallowed certainly wasn't the Berserk Pill or Mind-Altering Pill if they still had their sanity. So, it was between quite a few dozen others but Jing honestly didn't care. If anything, them being stronger would only allow her to have even more fun.

"Well? I'm waiting love birds. Show me the full extent of your love." She giggled in amusement. Jing's fully released aura was no less as impressive as the two lovers.

"Hmph." Fu Kang liked having their relationship pointed out like this but he didn't intend to spare this girl.

"Shut it!" Liu Lan had enough of it though it seems. She did have a small blush on her cheeks though.

  The adulterous pair did plan to put an end to this. Their love will surely not be exposed by someone like this!
