As the fists collided, Laruja was confident he would send Ling Feng flying with one punch.

But to his surprise, an irresistible force emanated from the slender man's fist, and by the time Laruja realized something was amiss, it was already too late!

Boom! A loud noise erupted, and Laruja flew out like a cannonball, blasting a huge hole in the underground room's wall!

With an angry crushing blow, Ling Feng's punch, had it not been for Laruja activating his Second Form, would have turned Laruja into a pile of flesh.

"You... who are you exactly?" Laruja lay amidst the rubble, looking at Ling Feng with eyes filled with terror.

His internal organs suffered tremendous damage, and he would not recover for at least ten days to half a month!

However, what truly terrified Laruja was that this young man was only in his mid-twenties; how could he possess such formidable strength? He knew he was on the verge of reaching S-rank himself, and with his combat form, even if he faced a rookie S-rank master, he would not be at a disadvantage! Yet he had been critically injured by the opponent's punch!

"Could it be that he is a possessor of Innate Divine Strength?" Laruja staggered to his feet, his gaze cold and sharp: "It seems I've underestimated you, you actually possess Innate Divine Strength!"

A disdainful smile crept onto Ling Feng's lips: "Innate Divine Strength? Since you think I have Innate Divine Strength, then taste the power of someone with Innate Divine Strength!"

No sooner had he spoken than Ling Feng charged forward again.

Laruja suppressed the injuries within his body, and with a tremor of his Bat Wings, his figure flickered around Ling Feng like a phantom, ceaselessly appearing and disappearing.

"Haha, kid, having brute strength is useless!" Laruja's triumphant voice echoed.

"Oh, really?" Ling Feng took a deep breath and threw a heavy punch towards a certain direction ahead of him.

With a boom, a figure a few meters away from Ling Feng flew out again and crashed heavily against the wall.

"Puh!" Laruja's eyes widened in shock: "You... you can actually condense Qi into Bullets, you are..."

Ling Feng's last punch had compressed the air in front of his fist into an Air Bullet, which shot out and struck Laruja once more.

Just that move alone had Laruja feeling shocked and afraid; this was clearly a technique of an S-rank master!

"Damn it, a twentysomething S-rank master, no wonder Huaxia has always been a forbidden zone in the Underworld, this is terrifying!" With a fierce bite on the tip of his tongue, Laruja's body turned into a mist of blood.

"The Blood Clan's Blood Escape Technique?" Ling Feng slammed his palm down, and the dissipating blood mist was shattered by his palm wind.

Miles away, the blood mist reconvened, Laruja coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as death, revealing a trace of relief: "Lucky for me I ran fast, otherwise, I would have really been done for there!"

He glanced back in the direction of the club where he had been, enduring the severe pain as he transformed into a small bat and disappeared into the chilly night.

"Blood Clan, indeed, good at making escapes!" Ling Feng sneered coldly. Although Laruja had gotten away, he had been injured at his core; without several months, he'd definitely not recover!

Turning his head to look at Bai Feifei, who had fainted to the ground, a pained expression flitted through Ling Feng's eyes: "What a stubborn girl that tugs at one's heartstrings!"

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside. Ling Feng's body flickered and vanished from the spot.

"Team Bai has fainted, we've found the missing girls, call an ambulance quickly!"

Having found Bai Feifei and the missing girls, the Criminal Police Team finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these girls hadn't been physically harmed, which was indeed a stroke of luck in this unfortunate situation!

At this point, Lei Lingfeng and the others from United Hearts Gang were glancing at the time on their phones, a ferocious smile creeping across their lips, "Very soon, the entire Yanjing will be shaken by this massive firework display! When that time comes...hahaha!"

As the seconds ticked by, the countdown to the timed bomb's explosion drew ever nearer, and excitement flushed the faces of Lei Lingfeng and his men!

But the set time had already passed, yet the club hadn't exploded. The police were going in and out and had rescued all the missing girls!

"What the hell is going on!" Lei Lingfeng's face was extremely ugly, "Who the fuck can tell me what's happening?"

At that moment, Liu Yong's phone rang.

Liu Yong, somewhat panicked, wanted to end the call, but then he heard Lei Lingfeng's icy voice, "Answer it, speakerphone!"

Liu Yong had no choice but to answer the call tremblingly. On the other end, the panicked voice of one of Liu Yong's subordinates came through, "Hall Master Liu, something terrible has happened! Flame Hall has attacked our branch, and Ding Haifeng's wife and children have all been abducted!"

With a clang, Liu Yong was startled for a moment, and the phone fell to the ground.

By now, it was all too clear what had happened. Although Ding Haifeng's family had been taken, he had been deceiving United Hearts Gang all along. Flame Hall's people had followed the trail and rescued his family!

"Hmph! Liu Yong!" Lei Lingfeng clenched his teeth and said, "What else can you do, you useless piece of trash!"

Liu Yong, frightened, fell to his knees, "Gang Leader, I... I also don't know why this happened, believe me, I am loyal to the Gang Leader!"

With a thud, Liu Yong was kicked to the ground by Lei Lingfeng, "If it weren't for knowing your loyalty, I would have killed you long ago!"

Lei Lingfeng turned around, his eyes coldly fixed on the police below, and squeezed out through clenched teeth, "Wei Meizi, I truly underestimated you. Very well, just wait and see, I, Lei Lingfeng, will not admit defeat!"

Meanwhile, at the Flame Hall headquarters, Ding Haifeng was kneeling before Wei Meizi, shamed and unsure of what to do.

"Ding Haifeng, I'm very disappointed in you!" Wei Meizi's voice fell on Ding Haifeng's ears, causing him to tremble violently and bow his head deeply, "I'm sorry, Lady, all of this is my fault, I am willing to accept any punishment the Gang decrees!"

With a tone of command, Wei Meizi said, "Ding Haifeng, look up at me!"

Ding Haifeng's body shook as he raised his head to look at Wei Meizi.

"Ten years ago, you joined Flame Hall, and in a clash with United Hearts Gang, you rushed to the front lines. You were left with three scars and one knife wound that almost severed your windpipe!" Wei Meizi said gently.

Ding Haifeng was stunned, looking at Wei Meizi; he couldn't believe that she still remembered an incident from ten years ago!

"Don't be surprised. You have bled for Flame Hall, so I promoted you to be a leader," Wei Meizi continued, "What disappoints me is that when your wife and children were in jeopardy, your first thought wasn't to seek help from Flame Hall! Does Flame Hall not deserve your trust?"

Ashamed, Ding Haifeng lowered his head, "Lady, I'm sorry, I..."

Wei Meizi said sternly, "To every brother who has bled for Flame Hall, I, Wei Meizi, consider him family! Your compromise with United Hearts Gang only shows my failure!"
