This place was approximately forty kilometers away from the border in a straight line. The mountain paths were difficult to navigate, and even for martial artists of their caliber, it would be impossible to traverse on foot in less than two days.

Ling Zhenfei chose to pursue the culprits into the forest without any prior preparation, not even having time to bring along rations.

However, for someone who had grown up in the border mountain forests since childhood, surviving in the wilderness was not difficult for him.

Whenever he felt a bit tired, he would sit down to pick some wild fruits and drink some mountain spring water to quickly replenish his strength before urgently pressing on deeper into the forest.

In the ensuing hours, Ling Zhenfei encountered several blockading forces.

The initial few blocking forces weren't very strong and were easily handled by Ling Zhenfei.

But during the last encounter, when Tan Shaojie's two top experts, Bao Xiong and Green Fox, appeared before him at the same time, Ling Zhenfei distinctly felt a considerable amount of pressure.

"Kid, don't take things too far. Our mission this time is only to rescue Master Kun Ze. If you let us go, we will be grateful for your kindness!"

Bao Xiong, with a stature like an iron tower, stood in front of Ling Zhenfei, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear.

He knew that for Ling Zhenfei to have reached this point, the companions Ambushed by the young master ahead must have all been killed by him.

As for the others, Bao Xiong didn't feel anything special. However... Viper, also ranked among the top five experts, couldn't even stop Ling Zhenfei!

How terrifying had this kid become?

Actually, when Chi Hu was captured in one move earlier, Bao Xiong was already shocked by Ling Zhenfei's strength. However, being a prideful and arrogant man, Bao Xiong, although intimidated, still refused to admit it openly.

"Just to rescue Kun Ze? Hmph!" Although Bao Xiong spoke with an air of righteousness, Ling Zhenfei didn't believe him even for a second.

His eyes cold and piercing, he stared at Bao Xiong and harshly chided, "If you were only here to rescue Kun Ze, why kill Lin Zhengnan? Lin Zhengnan was just a businessman who kept out of conflicts. It's one thing to hijack, but why kill him?"

The death of Lin Zhengnan weighed heavily on Ling Zhenfei's heart. Especially after seeing Lin Yuluo's utterly heartbroken expression just now, he empathized deeply with her pain of losing her father.

Unfortunately, although he had saved Lin Zhengnan once, he ultimately couldn't save him a second time.

However, the death of Lin Zhengnan had left Ling Zhenfei filled with doubts.

He knew that the person most eager to see Lin Zhengnan dead was Du Kongting. Tan Shaojie was just a foreign robber; there was no reason for him to take Lin Zhengnan's life.

But this guy had done exactly that... Could there be some unspeakable secret between him and the Du family?

"This... we…" Ling Zhenfei's stern questioning immediately made Bao Xiong's face turn red, leaving him at a loss for words.

Of course, he knew that the young master killed Lin Zhengnan to clear the way for Du Kongting, but how could he possibly reveal such a confidential issue to Ling Zhenfei?

"Bao Xiong, don't waste words with this kid. If he dares to block us, let's send him to meet King Yan!"

As Bao Xiong faltered, Green Fox stood up with a cold laugh and yelled sharply at Ling Zhenfei, "Kid, quit your yapping. If you want to stop us, show some real skills before you speak!"

Whoosh!

As Green Fox finished speaking, her enchanting figure seemed to whirl up like a gust of wind. She thrust forward a fierce claw shadow aggressively pouncing towards Ling Zhenfei.

"Damn, you enchanting woman, are you a fox or a kitten?" Seeing Green Fox's move executed so crisply took Ling Zhenfei by surprise.

But he did not give Green Fox any opportunity to exploit, dodging swiftly while using words of scorn to provoke her further.

"What kitten, kid, you dare to belittle me? I'll show you how formidable I am! Spirit Fox Nine Transformations!"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei easily dodge her attack with one move, Green Fox flew into a rage, immediately scolded shrilly, and the shadows of her claws in front of her became as fast as lightning and thunder. Her delicate body rapidly changed, producing eight or nine fake images, and she screeched as she pounced towards Ling Zhenfei.

This move, Spirit Fox Nine Transformations, was indeed Green Fox's signature technique. Although it could not be considered real cloning, it could transform into shadows to bewilder the opponent, making it hard for the opponent to discern which one was her real body.

Green Fox was a disciple of the most mysterious and unpredictable sect in Jianghu: the Charm Shadow Sect.

The disciples of this sect were all young women who primarily used their martial arts to charm the opposite sex and absorb their energy. It was rumored in Jianghu that every Charm Shadow Sect female disciple walking in Jianghu was the nightmare of lechers!

In her early years, Green Fox roamed Jianghu, wreaking havoc with her charm arts until she was jointly hunted by the Qiu Family. She had no choice but to flee abroad, where she was taken in by Tan Shaojie and became one of the top five experts under him.

Ling Zhenfei was quite familiar with the martial arts of the various sects in Jianghu, and among the martial arts he had practiced in the Divine Marrow Space, there were techniques to counter the martial arts of various sects.

Once Green Fox revealed her move, Ling Zhenfei saw through her technique at a glance and let out a cold snort from under his nose.

"What Spirit Fox Nine Transformations, mere trifle techniques, even dare to flaunt themselves before this young master!"

Seeing the nine illusions rushing towards him, Ling Zhenfei was unconcerned; he flashed his body, clenched his iron fist, and surprisingly attacked one of the illusions rapidly.

Bang!

This punch carried the vigor of thunder, and the force seemed to tear the surrounding air instantly as it smashed down.

The result of this punch was simply staggering!

As the punch roared down, it immediately shattered all eight illusions that Green Fox had woven in space. The force of the punch didn't pause at all and continued powerfully, smashing onto Green Fox's chest.

Green Fox's petite body was struck by the punch and flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing through several pine trees that were as thick as bowls behind her.

Ugh!

When Green Fox fell to the ground, she vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, her face pale, evidently severely injured, and no longer capable of any fighting power.

Ah!

This scene, unbelievable not only to Green Fox herself but even Bao Xiong was shocked, his eyes wide open, unable to believe everything he saw.

As her comrade, he naturally knew Green Fox's strength well.

Although Green Fox's power was not as overwhelming as his, her technique, Spirit Fox Nine Transformations, was something he could not dodge, not to mention even Young Master Tan Shaojie would have a hard time dealing with it without much effort.

Yet, unexpectedly, Ling Zhenfei broke this unique technique with just a single punch!

At this moment, the tremor in Bao Xiong's heart was beyond words!

Spurt!

Stubborn as she was, Green Fox spit out several mouthfuls of blood, still trying to struggle to stand up, but no matter what, she just couldn't manage it.

"Bao Xiong, you idiot, block him now. Aren't you running away? Do you want us all to die here?"

After exchanging a move with Ling Zhenfei, Green Fox experienced the same helplessness that Chi Hu felt when he was captured by him with a single move.
