"What should we do, maybe we should just give him the information." Faced with the glaring handgun, Zhuo Yue was already afraid, fearing that Zhu Qiang might suddenly open fire. It was common sense that no matter how skilled one was, avoiding a handgun at close range was impossible.
"If we give it to them, we'll have wasted all our efforts, and I can be sure that even if you hand over the information, they won't let us off easily. At the very least, they won't believe that we've given them everything."
"What can we do then, they have guns, we can't possibly escape."
"In a moment, I'll shield you with my body. You run out at top speed. I have already contacted the police. Although I can't find the place, I believe they will be nearby. If you find them, you should be safe."
"No way, if I leave, what will you do? I can't possibly abandon you."
Tears welled in Zhuo Yue's eyes. Of course, she had thought countless times about the consequences of a failed undercover operation, but this time it seemed like they were about to fail. She knew what that meant. Although there was a chance to escape, how could she possibly leave Ling Zhenfei behind and run away by herself?
"Don't you trust my skills? Rest assured, a lousy gun will never kill me. Believe me, as long as you run, I'll be able to get out."
"Really?" Zhuo Yue asked with a hint of skepticism, obviously finding it hard to believe that it was possible to dodge a handgun at such close range.
"Of course it's true. If you don't leave, we won't stand a chance at all."
"Then, don't lie to me. I'll be waiting for you outside."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, then suddenly exerted force and pushed Zhuo Yue out with a strong and swift motion. Even Zhuo Yue didn't anticipate it, and before she knew it, she was already outside the cave.
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of gunfire erupted as Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai shot frantically at Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei dodged left and right. He could see the motion of the two men pulling the triggers and even the trajectory of the bullets cutting through the air. Though not as fast as the bullets, if he could predict the timing and trajectory of the shots, he could still dodge them.
It was all incredibly risky, but Ling Zhenfei was willing to take the chance. As he flipped and moved, the bullets grazed by him like sword qi. The nearest one passed through his clothes and cut open a gash on his arm. Blood continuously seeped onto his clothes, but thankfully it was just a superficial wound and did not damage any muscle or bone.
The gunfire ceased as they emptied their magazines.
"Sorry about that, I managed to dodge. I really don't know whether my movement technique is that good, or your shooting is just terrible." Seeing that their guns were out of bullets, Ling Zhenfei mockingly looked at Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai.
Actually, he too felt a weight lifted from his heart. If there were to be a second time, he definitely wouldn't want to take the risk again. Although it looked simple, only he knew the mortal danger he faced.
Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai looked at each other, then after exchanging a glance, they threw their handguns on the ground.
"I can't believe that the two of us together can't keep you here."
"Then come and try."
Zhu Qiang clenched his fists and charged at Ling Zhenfei.
At that moment, Zhu Qiang was truly enraged. His fist wind arrived before he did, evidently projecting his inner strength from the Mingmu Realm.
Ling Zhenfei was not at all intimidated and directly faced the oncoming fists laced with fist wind.
"Boom!"
As their fists met, the wind scattered in chaos. Ling Zhenfei was shaken back two steps by the fist wind, but Zhu Qiang was jolted almost to the point of falling, luckily being supported by Feng Kai from behind.
Although it was just one punch, the gap in strength was already evident. Zhu Qiang was at the mid-stage Mingmu Realm, but compared to Ling Zhenfei's Mingmu Advanced Stage Great Perfection, the difference was too significant.
"Mingmu Advanced Stage Realm?" Zhu Qiang muttered to himself in disbelief.
"That's right, now you know how formidable I am, right? Don't try to be a hero, you guys are no match for me."
Ling Zhenfei didn't want to fight. He just wanted to escape the danger as quickly as possible. As long as he could buy enough time for Zhuo Yue to flee, he would leave immediately. This place was simply a case of prolonged nightmares.
"Don't be cocky, kid. I don't believe you're invincible," Zhu Qiang said, as he and Feng Kai charged towards Ling Zhenfei together.
Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai's boxing style was from the same school, as fierce as tigers. That both disciples had been trained to the Mingmu Realm signified that their teacher was also a highly skilled individual, but it was regrettable that neither disciple had chosen the right path.
Zhu Qiang aimed both fists at Ling Zhenfei's upper body, while Feng Kai targeted the lower. The two must have teamed up often, as their coordination was incredibly in sync; four fists attacking in unison as if they were one person.
Ling Zhenfei was startled and quickly turned to dodge while switching from fist to palm, landing another palm strike on Zhu Qiang. Although his boxing wasn't as structured as Zhu Qiang's, at this level of cultivation, conventional techniques were of no consequence.
As the saying goes, in the world of martial arts, only speed is unbeatable. With the cultivation of the Mingmu Realm, Ling Zhenfei's striking speed was far beyond that of ordinary people, rendering any casual strike too much for most to defend against.
Ling Zhenfei's striking was incredibly fast, hitting Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai with palm and fist respectively.
Each move, be it punch or palm, carried a wind of spiritual power, with inner strength emanating outward, instantly raising the power of his attacks by several levels.
One in the Mingmu Advanced Stage and the other at the Mingmu Initial Stage, the two teamed up to battle Ling Zhenfei who was at the Mingmu Advanced Stage, and for a moment, they fought inseparably.
"Your strength is good, who is your master?" Ling Zhenfei was quite interested in their master, so he continued to fight while conversing.
"Don't insult us! The two of us are struggling against just you, and yet you dare talk big," Feng Kai said with a face full of rage, breathing heavily while speaking. The exchanges between masters were too swift, and even at the Mingmu Stage, he found it hard to keep up.
"I was just asking casually. If you don't want to say, then forget it."
The combined strength of Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai was barely enough to match Ling Zhenfei. Of course, Ling Zhenfei was stronger than the two of them, but their teamwork had produced a synergy greater than the sum of their parts, temporarily preventing him from defeating them.
"Sorry, but I'm short on time. See you later," Ling Zhenfei said.
Ling Zhenfei faintly heard noises coming from the Imperial Palace Club and wasn't sure how many of the Sharks had come. Calculating the time, Zhuo Yue should be safe by now, meaning it was time to leave.
He increased the pace of his moves, forcing Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai into disarray, and took advantage of the chaos to leap out the door.
Outside the door was a vast expanse of grassland, and without the time to look closely at where he had come from, he picked a direction and ran towards the distance. Behind him, he could faintly hear the sound of pursuit, but it faded after a short while.
Ling Zhenfei figured he must have reached the exterior of the residential area. After passing a small grove, he finally arrived back at the entrance of the neighborhood.
"Hey, over here!"
Zhuo Yue was hiding behind Ling Zhenfei's car, waving at him.
"Why are you hiding here? Did the cops see you?" Ling Zhenfei was very surprised since he had clearly agreed with Han Lian to meet outside.
