Li Dafeng, who was in the Middle Stage of the Divine Transformation First Realm, could withstand the impact of a Rocket Grenade explosion, so Lin Yifan could easily do the same, being capable of challenging even Peak-stage cultivators in the Divine Transformation First Realm.

"Damn it!" Zhen Jian cursed under his breath. He never expected that even a Rocket Grenade wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Yifan. He was clueless about what to do next.

Seeing Zhen Jian's angry expression and how he was staring behind, Zhou Jiajia suddenly felt hopeful. The person coming to rescue her was not dead, which was an immeasurable relief.

"Who could it be? Is it Long Tengyu?"

She could now exclude Yi Chen because he didn't have the capability to withstand the power of a Rocket Grenade, nor could he fly that high. So the only possibility was Long Tengyu, who owed Lin Yifan a favor.

Zhou Jiajia felt both excited and disappointed; disappointed because the person coming to rescue her was not Lin Yifan.

Meanwhile, feeling helpless, Zhen Jian ordered his men to throw poison darts to hinder Lin Yifan's pursuit. He also urged the pilot to fly faster and escape from the annoying pursuer.

Zhen Jian's men immediately pulled out poison darts and threw them towards Lin Yifan.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

In an instant, several darts were zooming straight at Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan quickly formed a Spiritual Energy Shield, blocking the poison darts.

"Bang bang bang!"

The poison darts struck the shield as if hitting a steel plate, failing to penetrate and falling harmlessly to the ground.

This tactic was completely ineffective, and Lin Yifan's pursuit remained unwavering.

Seeing Lin Yifan getting closer and closer, Zhen Jian frantically urged the pilot, "Faster! Faster! Speed up and fly!"

"Boss Zhen, I'd love to speed up, but this is the maximum speed. It's impossible to go any faster," the pilot responded helplessly.

"Damn it! Bunch of useless idiots!" Zhen Jian cursed beneath his breath.

If Lin Yifan caught up, his dreams would be shattered once again.

In desperation, he came up with a plan.

Lin Yifan cared deeply about Zhou Jiajia, so he'd use her life to force Lin Yifan to stop.

He pulled out his handgun, loaded the bullets, and took Zhou Jiajia hostage.

Zhou Jiajia sensed severe trouble; she knew Zhen Jian intended to use her life to threaten her rescuer.

If the pursuer were to stop, it would be tolerable; but if he were forced to commit suicide, she'd rather die herself.

She was ready for anything now.

Everything was her fault, so she would bear the consequences; she didn't want to drag anyone else down.

In a matter of seconds, Lin Yifan had caught up to the rapidly flying helicopter.

Seeing Zhou Jiajia inside the helicopter, he relaxed.

As long as Zhou Jiajia was alive, he had the capability to rescue her.

On the other hand, Zhou Jiajia was immensely surprised; she never expected her boyfriend, Lin Yifan, to be the one rescuing her.

At this moment, she felt both exhilarated and scared; Zhen Jian was indeed planning to use her to force Lin Yifan into compliance.

Just as she anticipated, when Zhen Jian spotted Lin Yifan in the sky nearby, he immediately pointed his gun at Zhou Jiajia's head, threatening, "Stop right now! If you come any closer, I'll shoot her in the head!"

"Mmm mmm!" Zhou Jiajia shook her head, signaling Lin Yifan not to worry about her.

How could Lin Yifan possibly not worry about her; she was his 'main wife'!

Therefore, Lin Yifan responded to Zhen Jian's threat, "Do you really think you can kill her?"

"Why don't you come closer and find out?" Zhen Jian threatened in return.

He believed Lin Yifan was just bluffing, trying to use psychological pressure to break his defense.

Actually, Lin Yifan didn't have the ability to rescue Zhou Jiajia because all it would take to take her life was a simple press of the trigger, something that would only take a second. With Lin Yifan's current strength, it was impossible to kill Zhen Jian within a second. Hence, Lin Yifan wouldn't risk defying Zhen Jian's commands.

However, Zhen Jian underestimated Lin Yifan's current strength.

He was just an ordinary mortal with no cultivation power, making it very easy for Lin Yifan to control him.

Indeed, Lin Yifan couldn't kill him within a second, but controlling him within a second was more than feasible.

Thus, Lin Yifan immediately deployed his cultivation power to control Zhen Jian's entire body.

Zhen Jian felt his body becoming immobilized, realizing things were turning dire; he immediately shouted, "Quick, use your weapons to hold this woman hostage!"

Two of his men, upon receiving the order, quickly pulled out guns and pointed them at Zhou Jiajia's head.

They were cultivators, and Lin Yifan couldn't control them at the moment.

Lin Yifan felt helpless, unable to prevent Zhen Jian's subordinates.

At this point, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you holding my girlfriend hostage?"

"Who said I didn't!" Zhen Jian responded.

"None of your business!" Zhen Jian retorted angrily.

Thinking about this issue made Zhen Jian's rage boil over.

All of this was caused by Lin Yifan, whom he hated deeply.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiajia felt both ashamed and amazed. She never imagined Zhen Jian's lust hadn't waned.

If this were the case, she'd rather die than let Zhen Jian succeed.

Lin Yifan's mocking angered Zhen Jian tremendously.

Already sensitive about this issue, now Lin Yifan's mockery was unbearable.

Therefore, he threatened, "You bastard! I demand you suicide immediately in front of me, or I'll order my men to kill your girlfriend!"

"Even suicide requires a weapon! Give me one?" Lin Yifan rolled his eyes and asked sarcastically.

"Ah Biao, give him a poison dart and let him kill himself!" Zhen Jian ordered one of his men.

"Boss Zhen, are you sure? Could there be a trick?" the concerned subordinate named Ah Biao asked, feeling uneasy.
