The woman's abdomen was indeed a soft target. Ouyang Zixin's merciless straight punch landed without hesitation, followed by two more strikes. Baike couldn't withstand the blows and was knocked to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"You... how dare you?" Baike looked at Ouyang Zixin with eyes filled with venom, wishing she could tear her apart right then and there.
Ouyang Zixin paid no mind to such a gaze. As she put it, even if you glare at me until I die, it won't change anything. If looks could kill, who would need weapons? She leisurely clapped her hands, shrugged her shoulders, and smiled at Baike with a playful glint in her eyes. "What's wrong? Has the White Maiden never been hit before, or has she just never been hit like this?"
Zhao Feiyu found Ouyang Zixin's brazen tone amusing and burst into laughter, unable to contain himself. Once he started laughing, he couldn't stop, bending over and squatting on the ground for quite some time.
—What a low bar for humor.
Nameless also found it somewhat funny because in the Yuhai Continent, it was rare for a noblewoman to be taken down by someone in such a straightforward manner. The master was indeed unique and refreshing.
To be fair, Baike's lack of defense against Ouyang Zixin's attack couldn't entirely be blamed on her carelessness. If Ouyang Zixin had come at her with Mysterious Energy from the start, she would have been on guard and wouldn't have been knocked down within three moves. However, Ouyang Zixin was not one to play by the rules; how could a noblewoman come at someone with punches and kicks? This left Baike completely unprepared.
This humiliation made Baike want to grind her silver teeth in frustration. She secretly gathered her energy; she had to regain her dignity. Given that Ouyang Zixin's cultivation level should be on par with hers, it was just that Ouyang Zixin had caught her off guard this time. Now that she was prepared, she wouldn't lose to her fists again.
After beating Baike and mocking her, Ouyang Zixin naturally wanted to check on the other main character, Yun Tianmo, to see his reaction. She wondered if he would feel any sympathy.
However, when Ouyang Zixin looked over at Yun Tianmo, she found that he showed no signs of concern whatsoever. His posture remained unchanged with his hands clasped behind his back, not even hinting at any worry or compassion. Shouldn't he have gone over to check on Baike's injuries? Why did he seem so detached? And what was that glimmer of admiration in his eyes?
"Ouyang Zixin! Die!" Seeing Ouyang Zixin distracted by Yun Tianmo, Baike suddenly unleashed her Mysterious Energy to its peak and pushed both palms against the ground. She soared into the air as if flying. Her clothes swept across the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust as she intentionally concealed herself behind it to disrupt Ouyang Zixin's line of sight.
In this Beautiful Scenery Without Form, any sense of perception is useless; one can only rely on their eyes to see. This was also an important reason why Ouyang Zixin was able to evade Baike's attack just now.
Facing what seemed like a sneak attack from Baike, Ouyang Zixin didn't even turn her head. She merely glanced at Yun Tianmo with a slight pout, appearing helpless. With a casual sidestep, she dodged the Mysterious Energy that Baike had unleashed.
How is this possible?!
Ouyang Zixin didn't even look at her, yet how could she evade her attack?
Baike changed her form in mid-air. Without a moment's pause, she shot out three more Mysterious Energies in quick succession, each aimed at Ouyang Zixin's injured shoulder. She couldn't believe that this time Ouyang Zixin would evade without looking; the previous time must have been a coincidence.
"What's wrong? Is the Ink King trying to help the White Maiden?" Ouyang Zixin leaped into the air and executed a sideways turn, just in time to see Yun Tianmo's figure flicker as if he was about to intervene. Her heart ached; he was indeed worried about her attacking Baike. But this time it was clearly Baike attacking her—was he really going to help?
She spoke not out of fear that Yun Tianmo would assist Baike, but because she didn't want him to hurt her heart again through his actions. She didn't want to witness him helping Baike attack her. If that happened, she feared she wouldn't be able to bear it and would lose the facade of being unaffected. Therefore, she had to dissuade him from intervening.
Even if it meant fighting Baike to the bitter end, she did not want to see Yun Tianmo step in to help Baike.
Yun Tianmo was about to act, but upon hearing Ouyang Zixin's words, he pressed his lips together and coldly glanced at Baike, truly refraining from making any unnecessary movements.
Seeing that Yun Tianmo would not intervene, Ouyang Zixin felt slightly relieved; at least she believed he wouldn’t act against her because of another woman. A bitter smile crossed her lips as she barely managed to dodge Baike's three attacks without slowing down.
From the moment the two truly began to fight again, Zhao Feiyu's laughter abruptly ceased. She stood by, somewhat puzzled about what Ouyang Zixin was doing.
"Your sense of perception?" Baike finally confirmed that Ouyang Zixin's perception could still be used within this Beautiful Scenery Without Form. If that were the case, she really had no confidence in being able to contend with Ouyang Zixin. However, thinking back to how she had lost face and been knocked down earlier made Baike feel unwilling; why should Ouyang Zixin's perception work?
"Are you stupid?" Ouyang Zixin felt she had heard an incredibly foolish question. What was wrong with her sensing ability? Although it had weakened, it still existed. If she couldn't dodge such a minor attack, why would she even enter the Millennium Ruins? Being the first to enter already drew a lot of attention.
Clearly, Ouyang Zixin and Baike were not on the same wavelength; there was some issue with their communication. The two were talking past each other while continuously exchanging blows, executing over a hundred moves. Even though Ouyang Zixin was injured, Baike wasn't gaining any advantage.
"Mo Wang, is Ouyang Zixin just toying with Baike?" Zhao Feiyu observed with growing confusion. There had been several moments when Ouyang Zixin could have easily defeated Baike, yet she chose not to. Wasn't this just wasting time and energy?
Yun Tianmo could see that Ouyang Zixin was simply playing with Baike. He also noticed that in this Beautiful Scenery Without Form, only Ouyang Zixin's sensing ability seemed to remain intact. Therefore, she faced no pressure while battling Baike. Additionally, it was worth noting that the wound on her shoulder appeared to be healing at an astonishing rate, much faster than normal.
Having received no response from Yun Tianmo, Zhao Feiyu realized it was pointless to continue the conversation and decided to quietly watch the spectacle as a good spectator. (To be continued.)
