"Don't be afraid, I haven't planned to make a move yet, just wanted to let you live a few more seconds,"

Ling Zhenfei deliberately used words to provoke Kuang Tie, making Kuang Tie feel slighted and immediately showing anger on his face.

"Boy, you are truly arrogant, soon we will dispose of you, watch how I kill you."

As he spoke, Kuang Tie had already reached Ling Zhenfei, throwing a punch directly at him.

The punch carried a tremendous amount of Northern Spiritual Energy, aiming directly at Ling Zhenfei's head.

Ling Zhenfei had already made his judgment about Kuang Tie's every move, and the instant Kuang Tie struck, Ling Zhenfei reacted too, having already focused all his Divine Sense on Kuang Tie.

At the same time, he launched his Soul Passage attack, directly assaulting Kuang Tie's Divine Sense without Kuang Tie being prepared.

Although Kuang Tie was a cultivator at the Late Stage of Mingmu Realm, and his Divine Sense was much stronger than ordinary people's, nobody expected that Ling Zhenfei would have the means of a Divine Sense Attack.

Boom!

It was as if his head had been punched by a cultivation expert, causing Kuang Tie to lose consciousness immediately.

His mind went blank, his body stiffened, but by this time Ling Zhenfei made his move.

His hand, already condensed with Northern Spiritual Energy early on, executed the Sky Piercing Finger directly at Kuang Tie's body.

With such close proximity, coupled with Kuang Tie's loss of consciousness, the Sky Piercing Finger struck straight into Kuang Tie's body.

Poof!

Despite his name containing the character for "iron," Kuang Tie's body was not made of iron, and upon being struck by Sky Piercing Finger, a round hole appeared directly through his abdomen.

Blood spurted everywhere, and he fell dead immediately.

Everyone was shocked at the scene unfolding before them, some unable to believe that someone at the Zhiyi state had incredibly killed someone in the Late Stage of Mingmu Realm in one move.

The faces of the cultivators were shocked, while those ordinary people were truly terrified, somewhat afraid.

They knew the strength of Kuang Tie, a group of them weren't a match for him alone, yet Kuang Tie hadn't made a single move against this person, indicating that this person was too terrifying, simply inhuman.

"Divine Sense Attack!" Mr. Qu's face was full of shock as he suddenly blurted out this phrase.

Yue Lei and others were startled, looking at Mr. Qu with faces full of confusion.

"Big brother, what do you mean, what is a Divine Sense Attack?" Yue Lei asked.

Mr. Qu's expression was also not very good: "When he made his move just now, he used a Divine Sense Attack on Kuang Tie's Divine Sense, directly controlling it and causing Kuang Tie to lose consciousness, so he couldn't dodge that move."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked internally, not expecting Mr. Qu to have noticed his Divine Sense Attack, though it was also within his expectations, hence his demand to kill the enemy in one blow.

It also helped that Kuang Tie wasn't prepared, and now that Mr. Qu and others were wary, the chances of using Divine Sense Attack effectively on Mr. Qu and his group were minimal.

"Now that I have killed him with one move, can I go now?"

"Boy, you wish you could go after killing my man, how would I explain it to my brothers if I don't kill you today?" Yue Lei said furiously.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned: "What, are you planning to go back on your word now?"

"What do you mean going back on our word? You're the one being deceitful," Yue Lei widened his eyes, showing a murderous look, but he was restrained by Mr. Qu.

"We acknowledge our loss. Open the door and let him go."

Everyone looked at Qu Changsheng, "Big brother, it's not right. Did our brothers die in vain?"

"Yeah, letting that kid go will ruin our reputation in the future, won't it?"

"I think we should just gang up on him, one punch each to kill the kid before we say anything else."

Qu Changsheng's face darkened, "Idiots, what are you talking about? We agreed to accept the outcome and this is the morality of Jianghu. If we kill him and ignore the rules of Jianghu, how are we supposed to participate in Jianghu in the future?"

Once Qu Changsheng lost his temper, nobody around dared to say anything.

Qu Changsheng glanced at the guards and said, "Open the gate and let him go."

Those guarding the gate were still wondering what to do, but Qu Changsheng's command practically saved them.

They hurriedly opened the gate, and Ling Zhenfei walked out, standing at the doorway and saying to Qu Changsheng, "We may meet again someday."

"Kid, you'd better hope we never see you again, otherwise you'll die a terrible death," Yue Lei waved his fist at Ling Zhenfei.

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Qu, I still have a companion. I don't know how he's doing now?"

"Sir, aren't you asking a bit too much? Did you think you can come and go freely here? You're very lucky to get out, so you'd better leave quickly."

Ling Zhenfei realized he indeed had asked too much. He turned around and ran towards the outside, knowing he had been saved. Thinking back to the scene just before, it was truly a bit terrifying.

The feeling of being surrounded by more than a dozen cultivators inside was utterly terrifying. If he had really been beaten up back there, the chances of him getting out would have been very slim.

He had managed to escape, but what about Phoenix? Had Phoenix managed to escape?

Exiting the cave, he reached the junction he had passed before. The gate in another tunnel was tightly closed too. Ling Zhenfei hurriedly extended his Divine Sense into it; his Divine Sense passed through the gate, but it was very quiet on the other side.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, not knowing what the situation was with Phoenix. He had been discovered himself, so Phoenix couldn't have escaped either. But now it was so quiet; perhaps Phoenix had been captured.

Ling Zhenfei felt a mix of emotions, unsure of what to do. It was his first mission, and it had failed miserably. Not only had he not met Wu Yingxiong, but Phoenix had also been left behind.

Ling Zhenfei walked out of the cave and came to an unpopulated slope outside, where he found a spot to hide.

The heavy snow continued to fall outside, and the guards at that moment had disappeared; their whereabouts were a mystery.

Ling Zhenfei hid behind a large rock, allowing the heavy snow to cover him, endlessly pondering what he should do about this situation.

After an uncertain amount of time, he heard voices emanate from the cave; it turned out to be a squad of soldiers armed with guns, apparently coming out to change shifts.

The soldiers split from the entrance of the cave and grouped up into teams, heading to their respective posts.

Two of the soldiers were stationed at a hidden sentry spot, incredibly close to the large rock.

The two of them started to chat once inside the sentry.

"Damn this awful weather; such heavy snow during our shift – talk about bad luck."

"Stop complaining, it's not that bad; we didn't die inside, which is fortunate enough."

"Xiao Li is dead; damn, that woman was crazy fierce, wasn't she? She killed so many of our men."

"Being fierce is useless, she ended up captured anyway. But man, that woman was really beautiful, and what a figure, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"Cut it out, have you even seen women before? Her looks and figure are definitely undeniable, but she's too cold for my liking. I prefer women from the Island Nation, the kind that knows what to do with just a gesture."
