Bang!

Another loud noise reverberated as Watanabe Kazushi's Northern Spiritual Energy was incredibly powerful, sending Ling Zhenfei flying with a single punch.

But this went according to Ling Zhenfei's plan; his body was hurtled towards the nearby window, smashing the glass, and he flew out of the room.

"The kid wants to escape!" Watanabe Kazushi and Watanabe Nagayumi instantly understood Ling Zhenfei's intention and hurriedly chased after him through the door.

Watanabe Kazushi, in particular, was extremely fast, pursuing Ling Zhenfei with great speed.

Ling Zhenfei crashed out the window. Although he had achieved his objective of escaping, he was severely injured.

At that moment, he scrambled up from the ground and tried to run, but Watanabe Kazushi had already caught up.

Watanabe Kazushi descended from above like an eagle, delivering a punch towards Ling Zhenfei's back.

"Come on!"

Just as Watanabe Kazushi's fist was about to hit Ling Zhenfei, Ling Zhenfei suddenly yelled, then swiftly turned around, thrusting the Dragon Tooth Dagger towards Watanabe Kazushi.

However, this time, the Dragon Tooth Dagger was different. It suddenly unleashed a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy, like a fired bullet, rushing towards Watanabe Kazushi.

Ling Zhenfei had long discovered that the Dragon Tooth Dagger could absorb Northern Spiritual Energy, but where did that absorbed energy go? It turned out that inside the Dragon Tooth Dagger, there was a special space for storing Northern Spiritual Energy.

When enough energy accumulates, it can be fired out like bullets.

Previously, when helping Watanabe Ichiro heal, the surge of Northern Spiritual Energy was quite violent, filling up the Dragon Tooth Dagger, so he waited for the perfect opportunity to unleash it.

Ling Zhenfei was quite confident inside, as the Dragon Tooth Dagger was heavily charged with Northern Spiritual Energy; combined with the element of surprise, he believed it could cause a significant impact on Watanabe Kazushi.

Watanabe Kazushi was taken aback as well; he didn't expect Ling Zhenfei to launch such a powerful attack at this moment, but his descending attack left him no chance to dodge.

In this moment, Watanabe Kazushi could only face it head-on, striking with his fist towards the burst of Northern Spiritual Energy.

Boom!

With a burst of scattered Northern Spiritual Energy, the energy shot in all directions, yet that surge knocked Watanabe Kazushi aside, giving Ling Zhenfei the opening he needed to make a run for it using the Blooming Step Technique.

By this time, Watanabe Kazushi was behind, shouting to those around, "Catch him! Don't let him get away."

Around Watanabe Kazushi's residence, many people were already prepared to assist Watanabe Kazushi in his healing; Watanabe Nagayumi's shout drew them all over.

A group chased after Ling Zhenfei. He knew escaping from the Watanabe Family would not be easy.

Considering how Hoshino Meigetsu's strength was so overwhelming that night, yet even under the cover of darkness she couldn't escape, how could Ling Zhenfei expect to succeed now?

Ling Zhenfei was now heavily wounded, unwilling to admit it, but his injuries were indeed severe, blood and energy churning within, making him wary of overexerting himself internally.

As soon as Ling Zhenfei exerted his own Northern Spiritual Energy, he couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit blood, so he could only rely on the Blooming Step Technique, trying to head towards empty places.

But the Watanabe Manor was too vast; escaping wasn't that easy.

Ling Zhenfei was very worried, fearing when a few darts might shoot out around him, pinning him down.

Nevertheless, Ling Zhenfei resolved that no matter what it took, he'd strive to escape, not willing to die here.

What little he could rely on was now scarce, as the Northern Spiritual Energy couldn't be used too much, ruling out the use of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.

Luckily, Ling Zhenfei had that peculiar Severed Finger, which prevented him from being locked down. If only it were nighttime, he might find a place to hide and evade this disaster.

Ling Zhenfei started his escape journey over the snow, and the entire Watanabe Manor mobilized; his Divine Sense could perceive everyone converging in his direction.

Ling Zhenfei wanted to find a place to hide momentarily, but sensing people all around, nowhere seemed safe enough.

Ling Zhenfei first took out two elixirs from his Di Tian Shen Sui and consumed them.

Though these elixirs couldn't instantly cure internal wounds, they offered some relief.

Right now, this was very precious to Ling Zhenfei; perhaps all he needed was a minute to run out of Watanabe Manor.

A few people appeared up ahead, and upon spotting Ling Zhenfei, they shouted, "He's here! Everyone, quickly catch him!"

In normal times, these people wouldn't pose a threat to Ling Zhenfei, but now they were quite daunting.

Ling Zhenfei dared not battle and quickly ran sideways, as long as he wasn't caught by them.

All Ling Zhenfei could focus on was running, but this was Watanabe Manor, surrounded by people, nowhere to escape.

From all directions, men in samurai garb converged towards Ling Zhenfei.

His Divine Sense could feel their presence, and perhaps by coincidence, he arrived at the place where he had saved Hoshino Meigetsu before, and he was completely blocked.

The same place where Hoshino Meigetsu was stopped last time; near the edge of the Plum Forest, the courtyard wall of Watanabe Manor was not far now, even visible, but he couldn't proceed.

Ling Zhenfei looked around, seeing at least dozens of people, wielding katanas, looking fierce towards him.

Ling Zhenfei spotted two familiar faces, Watanabe Ichiro and Watanabe Jiro, seemingly the Watanabe Family's gatekeepers, always present whenever something went wrong.

"Ling Zhenfei, do you think you can still escape?" Watanabe Nagayumi stepped forward.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You certainly wouldn't dare to let me go; the things you've done, you wouldn't want the world to know. If I escape, everyone will know."

"Ling Zhenfei, our Watanabe Family has a stellar reputation in the industry; don't go sullying it," Watanabe Ichiro said to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei sneered, "When you say that, each of you should hold a lightning rod. Fortunately, it doesn't thunder in winter; otherwise, you'd all be struck by lightning."

"Ling Zhenfei, stop your nonsense. One question: are you handing over the item or not?" Watanabe Nagayumi demanded from Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Watanabe Nagayumi, I can't believe a person like you has the nerve to remain in this world. How did I come to Japan? Surely you know.

You lured me here with a great promise, repeatedly breaking your word with no integrity; people like you don't deserve to live in this world."
