Science/Magic

None of the people in the group was able the react. They looked agape while Liu Ying's fist hit the man's belly.

In fact, the man even smiled disdainfully. After all, he was a B-Rank practitioner. How much damage could provoke ais C-Rank little girl's punch?

However, underestimating her was his mistake.

As soon as Liu Ying's fist touched the man, he felt an incredible strength impacting against his body, then, her body was sent flying!

*Boom!*

*Crash!*

Only after knocking a pair of trees down, the man stopped flying.

"Little brother!"

Harold, the leader of Blood Wolf, cried in panic and rushed towards the man. He grabbed his arm and sent and a bit of mana into his body to stabilize his condition.

*Cough cough!*

The man vomited a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes. He then looked towards Liu Ying in fear.

Not only had Liu Ying sent him flying with one blow, but she even managed to do so without breaking any of his bones or internal organs. In fact, besides the mouthful the blood he vomited before and a bit of pain, the man was completely uninjured.

The strength and control that Liu Ying showed frightened the man.

Liu Ying felt his gaze and snorted in disdain. "You are not even a hundredth as good as him." She then turned around and walked towards Bloed as though losing interest in him.

"You… Stop!" Harold, the leader of Blood Wolf, stood up and looked at Liu Ying angrily. "What do you think you are doing!?"

"What? It was just a punch. Besides, he started it." Liu Ying shrugged indifferently.

Harold's face turned ugly. He looked at their men and nodded. In the next second, Blood Wolf's men had unsheathed their weapons.

However, Bloed and Regina reacted at the same time.

With a droning sound, two energy blades appeared on Regina's hands. At the same time, Bloed grabbed his saber and Tito and Leto got ready to fight.

In an instant, the situation had escalated near a boiling point.

Gerald was the one that stepped forward at that moment.

"Stop! What are you doing!?"

Neither Bloed and the girls nor the other group moved. They just looked at each other without caring for Gerald's shout.

"Harold, order your men to lower their weapons." Gerald frowned.

"Young master–"

"It's an order!"

Harold furrowed his brows, but in the end, he nodded and waved his hand.

Bloed looked at them and shrugged, putting the saber back in his sheath.

Gerald sighed in relief. "Okay, now let's talk."

"There is nothing to talk about it." Harold said. "The girl must apologize to my brother, or I will not let this pass."

Liu Ying snorted. "Who do you think you are? You should be grateful that I held myself back, or you would be seeing his corpse. Pei, a few years ago, the fact that he dared to insinuate something like that was enough to kill his family and all the people related to him."

Gerald frowned. He looked at Bloed as though asking him for help, but Bloed just shrugged. "I'm sorry, I'm with Liu Ying this time."

Behind me, Regina smiled. "Master is right. Besides, I agree with Liu Ying's words, he is not even a hundredth as good as my master, how does he dare to insinuate otherwise? At most, we will kill all of you and continue for ourselves."

Liu Ying heard Bloed and Regina's words and smiled gratefully towards the master and servant.

But Gerald's expression was not so good.

In truth, he was the one that asked Blood Wolf to provoke Bloed's group. In fact, when he saw Liu Ying's attack, he laughed inwardly, rejoicing that things were going according to his expectations.

But he never expected that Liu Ying was so strong. With just a blow, she incapacitated a B-Rank practitioner!

It was a B-Rank! One rank higher than her! Even if part of the reason she was successful was that the man underestimated her, the fact that she just needed a blow meant that she probably would be a match for him even in a fight.

Since that point, everything escaped his control. He could see that Harold was truly planning to attack the group, but he knew they could not defeat Bloed and the others. On the other hand, Bloed's attitude was unexpectedly tough, as though he did not even consider easing the tension.

Of course, Bloed did not consider it. Although he did not know Gerald and Blood Wolf's plans, he only needed to think for a moment to understand most of it. So, he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed the show.

When Gerald saw that Bloed and the girls were not planning to take a step back, he sighed. He exchanged gazes with Harold briefly and shook his head.

Understanding his meaning, Harold frowned.

In the end, he ordered his men to relax and shot at a deep look to Bloed and the girls.

"You better be careful. Many people die accidentally in hunts like this."

Liu Ying scoffed and Regina wrinkled her brows. Bloed, on the other hand, just shrugged.

"Thanks for your advise."

Harold looked at Bloed and the other one last time and turned around.

"Let's go, we will reach the Lightning Cat's habitat soon."

Regina looked at the group carefully. She then whispered in a voice that only Bloed and Liu Ying could hear.

"Master, should I kill them?"

"It's not time yet." Bloed shook his head. "Wait a little bit more, they will make a move soon."

Regina nodded. She then looked at the back of the men with an ice-cold look.

Since the moment they dared to say her master was useless and a sissy, they were dead men walking in her eyes.
