"Ah!"

Another cry of agony resounded as both men were struck by Ling Zhenfei's Sky Piercing Finger.

Ling Zhenfei was quite pleased, for with the presence of the white smoke, maybe he could use it to escape this place. Who could still pose a threat to him now?

Ling Zhenfei acted on his thoughts, turning around and running in one direction.

"That kid is trying to run, everyone, hurry and chase him." Someone spotted Ling Zhenfei and started chasing after him.

But the pursuit was merely for show. Ling Zhenfei's prowess had been evident earlier; who would dare to truly engage him? Certainly, no one.

Ling Zhenfei was also extremely happy, his speed increasing with every step, leaving no one able to catch up to him.

But just then, Ling Zhenfei suddenly heard a voice, "Kid, bullying someone in the Zhiyi Boundary with Dawen Realm powers, do you think that's okay?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't even need to hear the voice to know who was speaking; it was undoubtedly Watanabe Kazushi of the Dawen Realm.

Which meant Watanabe Kazushi was about to take action himself, having witnessed everything just now.

Ling Zhenfei replied in the same manner towards the direction of the voice, "You know it's not right either; when I was in the Zhiyi Boundary, wasn't I surrounded and attacked by groups of your people?"

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Kid, you truly surprise me. Just a few days ago you were in the Zhiyi Boundary, and now you've reached the Dawen Realm. I really underestimated you. If I'm not mistaken, you must have been aided by the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth."

"The Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth records various powerful cultivation and secret techniques. You probably obtained a secret technique from it to enhance your strength so rapidly. You're really arrogant, kid."

Everyone would believe Ling Zhenfei's swift improvement in cultivation was due to the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, which was quite understandable.

Indeed, he knew the secret of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth and had obtained two pieces of it. His rapid increase in strength was naturally attributed to the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth.

"That's right, it's all thanks to the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth; so what can you do? Bite me."

Ling Zhenfei intentionally taunted Watanabe Kazushi, but his feet never stopped moving, still running towards far off. However, hearing Watanabe Kazushi's voice, the pursuers were actually revitalized.

"Kid, do you think you can escape?" Watanabe Kazushi's voice was indeed getting very close to Ling Zhenfei, about to catch up, but Ling Zhenfei's running wasn't slow at all.

"Mind your own business, I just like running."

Ling Zhenfei's steps followed the Blooming Step Technique, a flawless and swift movement that no one could keep up with.

Ling Zhenfei moved extremely quickly and reached the place where he had once escaped. With his current strength, he didn't even need the Dragon Tooth Dagger to easily leap over it.

Arriving at the wall, Ling Zhenfei propelled himself into the air, now completely able to condense spiritual energy mid-air, stepping on it to reach the top of the wall.

By this time, the people behind had caught up, but upon seeing Ling Zhenfei atop the wall, no one dared to climb up.

Ling Zhenfei glanced into the distance, spotting a figure, about six or seven Watanabe Old Monsters moving in from afar.

The Watanabe Old Monster hadn't arrived yet; if not leaving now, then when? Ling Zhenfei soared off the wall. He expected the ground to be open, but upon landing, a large net suddenly fell over him.

His anticipation caught him off guard, but luckily his current realm reacted quickly. He switched to a dagger, which sliced a cross in mid-air, cutting the net in two.

Despite this, he was puzzled. Who had laid such a large net below, and what were they planning?

Suddenly, a voice came from behind a nearby tree, "Not bad, you managed to escape even this."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, looking towards the voice, finding Watanabe Nagayumi behind the tree.

"Why is it you? How did you end up waiting here ahead of time?" Ling Zhenfei felt surprised by Watanabe Nagayumi's presence.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "There's no need to be surprised; I just got here knowing you'd run and guessing you'd come this way, so I waited."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "So that's how it is, but do you think you can capture me like this?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Catching you isn't my intention, but as long as I can delay you for a while, Watanabe Kazushi will arrive, and then you won't be able to leave."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "So that's your purpose."

Watanabe Nagayumi shook his head, "You're wrong; that's not my purpose. My aim is still for the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth. Just tell me its secret, and I'll let you go."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised that even at this moment, Watanabe Nagayumi still thought of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, still relentless.

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "The Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth secret is actually very simple; just use fire to burn it, and the text naturally appears."

Ling Zhenfei casually made up a lie to see Watanabe Nagayumi's reaction.

Watanabe Nagayumi was indeed taken aback, "Did you say burn it with fire?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Because the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth is inscribed on cloth, no one dares to burn it with fire, which is precisely why its secrets remain undiscovered."

Watanabe Nagayumi appeared to have an epiphany, "So that's how it is; no wonder no one ever discovered the secret before."

Ling Zhenfei hadn't expected Watanabe Nagayumi to believe it so readily.

"Now that I've told you the secret, will you let me go?" asked Ling Zhenfei.

Watanabe Nagayumi chuckled, "Even though you said it, who knows if it's true or false; maybe you just made it up."

"Watanabe Nagayumi, your word is as unreliable as breathing air, I never expected you to let me go. Now I'll kill you and step over your corpse."

With that, Ling Zhenfei moved with divine speed, charging at Watanabe Nagayumi.

Though Watanabe Nagayumi was a master of the Zhiyi state, he was nothing before Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei had defeated Watanabe Nagayumi before at the Zhiyi state.

Now Ling Zhenfei's strength was at the Dawen Realm, already considered one of Earth's top experts, so Watanabe Nagayumi was no match at all.

However, clearly, Watanabe Nagayumi had no intention to fight against Ling Zhenfei head-on. As Ling Zhenfei charged, a gun suddenly appeared in Watanabe Nagayumi's hand, firing two shots at Ling Zhenfei before turning to leave.

His goal was merely to delay Ling Zhenfei for a while, which was now entirely achieved. Ling Zhenfei already felt Watanabe Old Monster's presence, believing he had arrived right behind them.

Dodging the bullets, Ling Zhenfei heard Watanabe Old Monster's laughter from behind.

"Not bad, not bad. You've acquired such high skills now. Not personally hunting you down last time was truly my big mistake."

Ling Zhenfei turned around to look at Watanabe Old Monster behind him. At that moment, Watanabe Kazushi was standing atop the wall, dressed entirely in black, as if merged into the darkness.
