Everyone was stunned. Who said Ling Zhenfei was powerless in battle? That's a lie, isn't it? He actually took out Kai Masao in one move. His strength is terrifying.

"See you later!" Ling Zhenfei pulled out the Dragon Tooth Dagger, which had turned a bright red, as if it had drunk its fill of blood.

Ling Zhenfei dared not linger, using the Blooming Step Technique to flee amid everyone's shock.

This technique doesn't consume much Northern Spiritual Energy; it was even more suitable at this moment.

"Kai Family, chase him! You must kill him for me!"

Kai Itta's cries were somewhat hysterical. Ling Zhenfei killed his son, which was unacceptable to him.

The Kai Family members all drew their weapons and pursued Ling Zhenfei. Watanabe Nagayumi hadn't expected this to happen; the Kai Family was here to discuss the marriage proposal between Kai Masao and Watanabe Hideaki.

Unexpectedly, the marriage wasn't settled, and one party had died under such circumstances. Of course, he was furious.

"Iga-ryu, chase him! Bring back the living or the corpse." Watanabe Nagayumi also gave the order, and the Iga-ryu members followed suit.

Ling Zhenfei could only run for his life. Luckily, he absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from Watanabe Kazushi earlier; his spiritual energy was still ample, though he couldn't fully access it. He could only extract a little to fuel the Blooming Step Technique.

Ling Zhenfei felt like a lost dog, running in a certain direction while using his Divine Sense to gauge the distance between himself and his pursuers.

He was injured and severely weakened. He felt he was reaching his limits as he ran, because his internal organs were damaged. With the jolting motion, blood kept flowing from his mouth.

If he continued running like this, even if he wasn't caught, he would die from his organ injuries.

Ling Zhenfei figured he must come up with a plan; if he were caught by either the Watanabe Family or the Kai Family, he would be doomed and face great humiliation.

So, Ling Zhenfei mustn't be captured. He ran desperately, but where could he go?

Bin Qi Wu had offended someone terrifyingly dark; there was no light on the road, especially in this winter. Japan's winters were bitter cold, with sea winds cutting at his face like knives, making him very uncomfortable.

Ling Zhenfei felt his steps grow heavy and slow, with his spiritual energy supply intermittent and insufficient, leading to a sense of despair. Was he really going to die in the night's foreign land?

For some reason, Ling Zhenfei suddenly recalled the small harbor with fishing boats where he hid last time. It was there he escaped the Watanabe Family's pursuit before.

Perhaps due to innate human nature, Ling Zhenfei summoned his spirit and mustered his last strength toward the small fishing harbor where he fled before.

The pursuing threat grew closer and closer; Ling Zhenfei felt if he didn't exert himself to run forward, they could reach him in an instant.

Fortunately, the Blooming Step Technique didn't use much spiritual energy; otherwise, he would definitely be doomed here.

After running for a while, Ling Zhenfei finally saw the sea, still on that dark shore, with several fishing boats swaying with the waves.

But this time there was a difference: a fishing boat had a lamp swaying on the sea, appearing to head into deeper waters.

Ling Zhenfei ran without hesitation, and as he approached, someone shouted from the fishing boat: "Big Brother Ling, hurry and get on the boat."

Ling Zhenfei was startled; the one steering the boat turned out to be Hoshino Junka.

Ling Zhenfei didn't have time to ask why Hoshino Junka was there. With Hoshino Junka ready, there were no questions; he got on the boat first.

Ling Zhenfei used his last bit of strength to get aboard, then together with Hoshino Junka rowed the boat. Under their efforts, they finally left the shore.

Just after leaving shore, the pursuers arrived, but the boat had already departed; catching up was impossible.

Someone soon thought of boarding another boat to chase Ling Zhenfei's vessel, but Ling Zhenfei couldn't worry about such matters now, utterly exhausted.

Hoshino Junka said to Ling Zhenfei, "Big Brother Ling, don't worry. I've linked those boats together; separating them will take time."

Ling Zhenfei relaxed upon hearing Hoshino Junka's reassurance, sitting quietly on the boat and entering a Selfless State to treat his injuries.

In this Selfless State, Ling Zhenfei forgot time, the surrounding environment, and didn't know how long he cultivated. He finally felt some improvement in his internal injuries.

Though curing them wasn't easy, at least he could stop the relentless bleeding; otherwise, he was easily doomed.

When Ling Zhenfei opened his eyes, he found himself still on the boat, with the sound of waves continuously crashing against the rocks.

Ling Zhenfei glanced around and saw Hoshino Junka rowing tirelessly. He called out to her: "What's happening?"

Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei awake, Hoshino Junka showed a joyful expression.

"Big Brother Ling, you finally woke up; they've caught up."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, quickly stepping out of the cabin. Outside, he saw two boats chasing them.

Surprised, Ling Zhenfei asked Hoshino Junka, "How long did I cultivate? They're still chasing?"

Hoshino Junka thought for a moment and said, "You cultivated all night."

Unexpectedly, they chased for an entire night; it seems they wouldn't rest unless they caught him.

"What should we do now?" Hoshino Junka asked.

"It seems besides rowing harder, there's no other way, right?"

Ling Zhenfei felt helpless; it appeared the only option left was exhausting their strength rowing.

Seeing Hoshino Junka rowing, Ling Zhenfei could tell she was worn out. He wondered if she'd been rowing the entire night.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Let me row; you go and rest."

Hoshino Junka replied, "I'm not tired; let's find a way to leave quickly."

Ling Zhenfei used his Divine Sense to cover the two chasing boats, one belonging to the Watanabe Family, the other the Kai Family.

Watanabe Kazushi of the Watanabe Family was badly injured by Ling Zhenfei, who absorbed his spiritual energy up to Dawen Initial Stage.

Kai Masao of the Kai Family was pierced through by Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger; whether he was alive or dead was unknown, hence both families wanted to capture Ling Zhenfei.

Seeing their determined demeanor, Ling Zhenfei felt this situation couldn't continue.

With Hoshino Junka, a girl, on board, and Ling Zhenfei gravely wounded, they were at a disadvantage with the change in wind.
