Chapter 170: The Strongest Cage in History (2nd Update)

As soon as Xiao Xi stepped out of the car, the nine masked men's gazes were drawn to her—first because of her beauty, and second because of the incredibly arrogant tone in which she spoke.

These masked men were arrogant by nature and were used to being overbearing. Seeing someone even more arrogant than them, and a woman at that, they were naturally quite surprised.

"Little sister, you're so arrogant? Once we catch you later, you'll know what we're capable of."

One masked man looked at Xiao Xi with disdain. He really couldn't fathom why the delicate-looking Xiao Xi had the confidence to speak so arrogantly. In Feiyun City, no one dared to call themselves 'Grandma' in front of them, because they were Xiao Keming's men.

"Brother, don't be so fierce. It won't be good if you scare this beauty. The boss gave orders that we must bring these two beauties back completely unharmed. Li Mengxue is mature and charming, while this girl is pure and sexy, with an ethereal temperament. He has taken a fancy to both of these women; the boss is going to have a blast tonight."

The burly masked man leered at Xiao Xi, looking her up and down, and started laughing.

"Brother, these two women are indeed rare beauties, the likes of which are hard to find in this world. There's no use in us being envious, but after the boss tastes them tonight, he might just reward us by letting us play with these beauties too," a masked man said with a grin.

As soon as he said this, all the masked men laughed.

"Are you all done talking? This Grandma will give you a chance—all of you, come at me together!" Hearing these words from the masked men, Xiao Xi's voice turned even colder.

"Is this beauty drunk? Being so arrogant? You, go catch her."

The burly masked man who seemed to be the leader said this to a medium-built man. At this moment, their attention was basically focused on Xiao Xi, and they had somewhat forgotten about Li Mengxue.

"Beauty, you'd better just surrender." The medium-built masked man walked towards Xiao Xi with a grin, reaching out towards her chest.

This guy was actually thinking of taking liberties with Xiao Xi.

"What are you doing? Stop it!" Li Mengxue became anxious. If Xiao Xi were captured and humiliated, how would she answer to Zhou Lang?

"You're courting death!"

Xiao Xi let out a cold snort. Moving after them but striking first, she delivered a lightning-fast kick.

Bang!

The medium-built masked man took the kick to his abdomen and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing to the ground and passing out instantly.

At this, the other eight masked men and Li Mengxue were stunned. They never expected that such a delicate-looking girl could be so violent and possess such immense power!

"Brothers, this is a tough nut to crack, all together now!"

The burly leader shouted and charged towards Xiao Xi, leading the other seven men.

Eight against one—they naturally felt confident, so they didn't bother trying to capture Li Mengxue as a hostage.

"I told you to scram earlier, now you don't have the chance!"

Fearing that these masked men might harm Li Mengxue, Xiao Xi let out a cold shout and took the initiative to attack.

Under the dim streetlights, a figure flickered. Before the eight masked men even knew what was happening, they each received a blow to the head. Immediately after, their bodies went limp, and they all collapsed to the ground. It could be said that the battle ended as soon as it began.

"Zhou Xi… you… how are you so strong?" It took a long while for Li Mengxue to collect herself. Only now did she believe what Zhou Lang had once told her: that Zhou Xi's strength was not inferior to his own.

"I was actually holding back, afraid I might kill them," Xiao Xi said with a smile. She knew that after what had just happened, Li Mengxue would no longer look down on her.

"Then what do we do now?" Li Mengxue asked. By this point, she had already made Xiao Xi her pillar of support.

"Xiao Keming really won't give up. Naturally, I have to give him a taste of his own medicine," Xiao Xi said with a smile. She then picked up the unconscious masked men one by one and stuffed them back into the three cars, three people per car, distributed evenly.

"Zhou Xi, what are you doing? They aren't all dead, are they?" Li Mengxue asked, both shocked and curious.

"They're just knocked out. I was very measured in my strikes; they aren't in any mortal danger," Xiao Xi said with a smile. "Boss Li, stand back a little. Don't let yourself get scared later."

"What exactly are you going to do?" Hearing this, Li Mengxue quickly stood further away.

"I'm going to make a special cage to imprison these nine people," Xiao Xi said with a smile, then leaped up and kicked one of the cars.

Bang!

A muffled thud rang out, and in Li Mengxue's shocked gaze, the car's steel plating caved in.

Xiao Xi's movements didn't stop. She circled the car continuously, landing kicks one after another. Wherever she kicked, that part of the car would cave in.

This wasn't just a slight dent; it was a significant deformation. The car was rapidly changing shape.

After circling the car and kicking it, she leaped several meters into the air, flying upwards.

Xiao Xi even hovered in the air for a few seconds before suddenly exerting force to descend, slamming down onto the roof of the car with a thunderous crash.

With a muffled thud, the roof of the car also collapsed significantly in an instant.

In less than ten seconds, a nearly new car had become twisted and mangled, looking awkward from every angle.

Li Mengxue was completely shocked. She never expected that a person's strength could reach such a level, especially since Xiao Xi didn't look like a particularly strong girl.

The image of Xiao Xi hovering in the air for a few seconds kept flashing in her mind. This was completely beyond the scope of anything she had learned. How could a person stop in mid-air? Could this be the ancient martial arts passed down in China?

"Boss Li, come see how I did with this cage."

Li Mengxue hadn't yet recovered from her shock when Xiao Xi walked up to her and asked.

"You didn't kill anyone, did you?" Li Mengxue asked with some concern, quickly running over to the deformed car.

She wanted to open the car door to check on the people inside, but the car was severely deformed, and the door was jammed shut; it was impossible to open. However, the car's glass was completely shattered, so she leaned up to the window and saw the situation inside.

After the car deformed, the interior space had shrunk significantly, squeezing the three men inside tightly together. Yet, the deformed steel plates didn't actually touch them, leaving a gap of just a few millimeters.

But it was impossible for these three to get out. The deformed car had effectively become a genuine cage, trapping the three men inside. Not to mention getting out, they probably couldn't even move a muscle. Unless they had the ability to deform steel plates and push them open, there was likely no other way; they would just have to wait for professionals to rescue them.

"You… are you even human?"

Li Mengxue gasped, feeling that Zhou Xi's methods were truly miraculous.

"Boss Li, are you calling me not human?" Xiao Xi feigned confusion, though in reality, she knew she had stunned Li Mengxue.

"No… that's not what I meant. I'm saying you're too amazing; you don't seem like an ordinary person at all," Li Mengxue quickly said.

"I'm not an ordinary person to begin with. I am a Cultivator," Xiao Xi smiled and walked towards the other two cars.

She followed the same procedure, leaving the other two pristine cars dented and battered, creating special cages for the people inside. Rescuing the people from inside the cars would be a difficult task; even if professionals came, it would be an extremely vexing ordeal.

After finishing all this, Xiao Xi did something else that left Li Mengxue dumbfounded: she grabbed the cars blocking the road with her bare hands and moved them to the side of the road.

A small car weighs about 1.5 to 1.8 tons, which is between 3,000 and 3,600 jin. Plus the three people in the car, whose combined weight surely exceeded 400 jin. This means Xiao Xi effortlessly lifted a weight of 3,400 to 4,000 jin.

If this strength were taken to the Olympic weightlifting competition, wouldn't this record scare everyone into fainting?

Of course, this was just Li Mengxue's thought. Real Cultivators wouldn't be bored enough to participate in any Olympic Games. In fact, let alone Cultivators, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster wouldn't deign to compete for such empty fame, because all of this was completely meaningless to people like them.

Afterward, Li Mengxue and Xiao Xi returned to their own car.

"Zhou Xi, are there really Cultivators in this world?" Li Mengxue asked Xiao Xi as she drove, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Cultivators only exist in legends. For many people, it is impossible to ever come into contact with a Cultivator, so more and more people believe that so-called Cultivators are just fabrications by novelists and screenwriters, and that there are no such people in the world with Divine Ability who can even fly or burrow into the earth.

"I am one," Xiao Xi said with a slight smile. She knew that her actions had indeed frightened Li Mengxue.

"Then is your cousin Zhou Lang one too?" Li Mengxue asked, taken aback.

"Of course," Xiao Xi nodded.

"It seems I truly have no fate with Zhou Lang in this lifetime. He is a Cultivator, and I am an ordinary person." After hearing this answer, Li Mengxue felt very dejected.

"Boss Li, you really like my cousin, don't you?" Xiao Xi suddenly said.

Li Mengxue didn't know what Xiao Xi meant, so she hesitated and didn't answer.

"I know all about what happened between you and my cousin," Xiao Xi said, blinking.

"What's the use of me liking him? He is a Cultivator and is already taken. Just as you said earlier, we have no fate together."

Li Mengxue sighed, implicitly admitting that she had fallen for Zhou Lang.

"Boss Li, you are a very charming woman. Why are you so discouraged?" Xiao Xi smiled.

"Zhou Xi, please don't call me Boss Li anymore. If you don't mind me being presumptuous, just call me Sister Xue," Li Mengxue said. "I am a relatively traditional person. I wouldn't think of trying to ruin the relationship between Zhou Lang and Ivanova, so there is no possibility for Zhou Lang and me."

"Sister Xue, Cultivators are different from ordinary people. They have a lifespan of at least several hundred years, so no male Cultivator only seeks one woman."

Xiao Xi smiled slightly. She knew everything about the situation between Li Mengxue and Zhou Lang, and she knew that Li Mengxue truly liked Zhou Lang. Moved by compassion, she took the liberty of telling Li Mengxue this.

Hearing this from Xiao Xi, Li Mengxue's heart suddenly stirred. She understood that Xiao Xi was telling her there was still hope. Her heart filled with joy, but at the same time, she hesitated—could she accept sharing Zhou Lang with many other women?
