System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 71: How Is It Feel to be An Ant?

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"See? Quite satisfying, right?"

"Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"It's okay. I'll take care of him."

The Ape Overlord lowered its head slightly to Snowy before its figure disappeared into the forest.

The whole reversal shocked everyone present. They stood agape for a long time. Some jaws even nearly dropped to the ground.

No one doubted Ming Xiong's might and thought that Snowy's demise was inevitable; she was like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be skinned and flayed.

Yet, what happened afterward was otherwise.

Ming Xiong was the one who got slapped by one of the once controlled spirit beast kings, and he ended up writhing on the ground.

On the other hand, Snowy still safe and sound and as nonchalant as ever.

Although she could gain control of many powerful spirit beasts and practically become a new power in the Eastern Region, she had unhesitantly let the spirit beasts go, which made many of the peoples there dumbfounded.

If they were in Snowy's shoes, would they be able to let go of such power?

In this regard, many experts and experienced cultivators felt the utmost respect for Snowy because of her decisive action to refuse temptation.

It means that her dao heart was firmer than everyone else present, or at least it was already better than them and many other geniuses, such as Ming Xiong.

"I have one last attempt."

Everyone shuddered when Snowy casually said those words with an indifferent expression.

Snowy walked unhurriedly toward Ming Xiong. Each of her footsteps sounded like a countdown to a funeral.

Ming Xiong's wrecked body crawled away despite its pain to bring Ming Xiong away from the woman who, in his mind, was a messenger of hell that wanted to reap his life.

"Over my dead body if you want to take one more step further!"

"We won't let you go and harm Prince Ming!"

"Yes, Prince Ming, please escape. We will buy you some time!"

The beaten Heavenly Blood Disciples were rushing to block Snowy's way in a frantic manner.

They realized it was just a vain effort but did it anyway since they had no choice left.

Although they could survive this ordeal, they will still dead all the same if the prince was killed.

So rather than die a dog's death, they decided to sacrifice themself in the hope that their family would be taken care of well by the sect.

Ming Xiong didn't care what was in their mind, though.

He only felt glad that they still had some use and frantically search for a life-saving talisman under his clothes.

A glint of fire rekindled in his eyes by the time he grabbed a small necklace made of green jadestone.

Ming Xiong's hand covered his mouth, which was still coughing blood. Meanwhile, his right hand gripped the talisman hard, ready to break it and escape from the forest.

Crack!

"I will cough be back to find you, and drink your blood cough, cough and destroy everyone... dear to you!"

Although his appearance was haggard and pitiful, his words still extremely threatening.

His eyes stared squarely at Snowy, and his lips curve upwardly showed a vicious smile before his figure turned blur and vanished from everyone's sight.

It was nothing surprising since there was no way that a big sect like Heavenly Blood Sects would leave their promising disciple left unprotected.

All the cultivators thought that the curtain had already been dropped, and their reconcilable feud left without conclusion today.

Alas, they were still underestimated the Trio's power.

Snowy's next word made all spectators aghast.

"Since you already here, just stay."

After incapacitating the remaining disciples, Snowy spoke at the now empty space.

Her sonorous voices followed by a hand gesture, a cue that only Feng Xue and Rong Hua recognized.

Rong Hua once again did the space shifting technique, bringing Ming Xiong back to his previous spot.

"How how can it be."

Ming Xiong's eyes turned blank once more, his face was already as pale as a white sheet, and his body went limp, crushed by the heaviness of his heart.

"I still owe you one hit."

"No, no, cough don't kill me I'll give you, cough anything. Please don't kill me..."

He would do anything to preserve his life, even if it meant cast aside his pride as a young genius or demon prince for all he cared.

There is always firewood as long as the verdant hill remains.[1]

As long as he could survive, Ming Xiong could get another chance to exact his revenge on another occasion with a better plan and scheme.

He felt very regretful at this moment for being overconfident in the beginning and didn't research his opponent's capabilities thoroughly.

He was blinded by his desire to capture Snowy alive to extract her knowledge and become a captive.

Nevertheless, Ming Xiong underestimated her strength. With one misstep, he had lost everything.

There was no medicine to cure regrets in this world. This feeling right now couldn't change the current situation.

"How is it feel to be an ant? And, to borrow your words from before, if I want to kill you, I just kill. Why bother?"

Ming Xiong couldn't utter a single word to rebut Snowy's rhetoric.

"Now, it's time to end this."

No hope remained for Ming Xiong; he just stayed there kneeling with blank eyes like a living corpse.

Snowy channeled her force qi to her right hand, and then

PAH!

Crack!

Ming Xiong's head spun 180 degrees with an open wide eyes, and then his body fell backward to the ground. He died indignantly.

"Noo!! Prince Ming!"

All the disciple who had been incapacitated by Snowy could only scream.

After a moment, they exploded their dantian, committing suicide as their fate wasn't much better, even if they went back to the sect.

"It's a shame that they won't make a move..."

"What do you mean, Snowy?"

Feng Xue and Rong Hua finally approached Snowy since the battle was already over.

Feng Xue was puzzled why Snowy sounded so disappointed even though she had won the fight with ease.

"Isn't it a common thing if we beat the junior, the senior will come; if we beat the senior, the elder will come; so on and so forth? I initially let them go so they could ask for reinforcement, and then a more powerful figure will come."

"I had expected that the feud between us and Heavenly Blood Sect won't be able to be reconciled anymore, so I want to cut their firepower as much as possible."

"Alas, they don't even move even after I kill one of their core disciples. Truly a bird of the same feather will flock together. All of them are coldblooded and ruthless."

Feng Xue was once more surprised by Snowy's methods, which had been bordering nasty. Her belief even stronger than before: All of Snowy's enemies wouldn't have a good end.

And she also felt a fluttering feeling in her stomach when she realized that Snowy was very thoughtful of their future. No one was more dependable than her Snowy.
