In the room, Zhang Bin was laughing excitedly. He was overjoyed, for he had awakened an incredible new Special Ability, one that was simply too flashy. It was something he wouldn't have dared to dream of in the past.

He stood up and walked straight to the washroom door. However, instead of pushing it open, he walked directly through it. It was as if the door didn't exist at all.

That's right, the Wall-Piercing Ability was Zhang Bin's new Special Ability!

It was a supportive ability with no offensive power, but it was truly magical. It was an invaluable tool for assassination and escape.

Walking into the washroom, Zhang Bin burst into triumphant laughter again. "Hahaha... I can really pass through walls without any hindrance!"

His face lit up with elation. He discovered that since the Wall-Piercing Ability was supportive, passing through walls consumed very little energy. This meant he could phase through walls multiple times without worrying about depleting his power. In fact, even if his Wall-Piercing Ability was exhausted, it wouldn't affect his combat power.

It took him a long time to calm down.

He was ready to set out immediately to rescue Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue. But at that moment, a sense of unease surged through his heart. It felt as if he would face certain doom the moment he stepped outside.

A look of confusion appeared on his face. Dangerous to go out? Why? Then he began to analyze the situation carefully.

From whom could the danger stem? Without a doubt, it must be from Tanikawa, a terrifying figure who had cultivated to the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection. He warned me today not to even think about escaping. If I go out, he might mistake it for an escape attempt. Then Tanikawa would surely act, and I would fall into his hands. If I can't even save my own life, how can I rescue Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue? If I abandoned them, I might be able to escape using Sword Control. But I can't possibly leave them behind. What am I to do?

His eyebrows furrowed deeply as he pondered, finally reaching a conclusion. I'll be discovered by Tanikawa the moment I step outside. And the only way he could discover me is if he left some kind of mark on my body.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly cleared.

He immediately sat cross-legged and used his Divine Sense to examine himself meticulously. But no matter how hard he looked, he found nothing.

He really has some tricks up his sleeve. Still, I refuse to believe I can't find his hidden mark.

Zhang Bin began to cultivate the Pure Heart Mystique, allowing his mind to become exceptionally pure. Then, he used his heart to feel for any abnormalities.

Finally, he discovered it. On his right cheek was a faint, coin-sized mark that emitted an evil aura.

Tanikawa, if you think you can get the better of me, Zhang Bin, you're dreaming! Zhang Bin sneered inwardly.

However, he also grew solemn. If I hadn't learned the Pure Heart Mystique from Xuanwu Star, I would have met a tragic end today. No matter where I fled, he would have been able to sense me. Besides, even if other Cultivators could find such a secret mark on their face, many wouldn't bear to disfigure themselves. They would choose to meet their enemy, hand over their cultivation methods, and still have no guarantee they'd be allowed to live. But I, Zhang Bin, am a Divine Doctor. Why would I need to disfigure myself?

His mouth opened, and his Flying Sword shot out, gently slicing off a small piece of skin from his cheek. He carefully placed the piece of skin in his bed, arranging it to look as though he were sleeping there.

He then applied Bright Eye Liquid to his face and circulated his Longevity Qi. His features quickly recovered, looking exactly as they had before, without the slightest difference.

He walked into the hall, where the three beauties had been waiting restlessly. Seeing him emerge, they all sighed in relief.

"You should all go back now. Don't stay here any longer," Zhang Bin said confidently. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After I rescue them, I'll escape immediately and not return. This place is about to become extremely dangerous.

He then told Takehara Junko and Nakata Shizuka that Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue would definitely contact them in the future. To Noda Sayuri, he promised that after tonight, the casino staff wouldn't bother her again, but she should stay away from casinos from now on.

"If I come to find you in the future, will you see me?" Noda Sayuri couldn't forget the first man in her life. She clung tightly to Zhang Bin, her face flushed red as she asked emotionally.

"Of course, I will," Zhang Bin said earnestly.

Overwhelmed with shyness, Noda Sayuri took Zhang Bin's contact information and quickly left with the other two women.

Zhang Bin immediately changed his appearance, disguising himself as someone else. He stuffed all of Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue's luggage into his Space Ring, then slipped out of the hotel unnoticed.

「Dawang Casino.」

In a luxurious hall, Dakai Tanikawa was entertaining a powerful cultivator from the Island Nation—Noguchi Taro.

Noguchi Taro was over 190 years old and looked ancient. However, because he had cultivated to the Initial Stage of Gold Core, he was still full of life and had nearly a century left to live. Even his virility was intact, so enjoying song and dance was a must for him.

Dakai Tanikawa had summoned all the beauties of the casino to serve Noguchi Taro. Currently, numerous women were dancing suggestively in the hall. Noguchi Taro was clutching one of them, slobbering and biting at her in a grotesque display. Dakai Tanikawa stood respectfully by his side, the very picture of a servile attendant.

Finally satisfied, Noguchi Taro released the woman and said with a sinister smile, "Tonight, that man will definitely come. If he doesn't, we'll start slicing those two boys up piece by piece. No matter how tight-lipped they are, they're bound to confess. Once they talk, catching that bastard will be a piece of cake."

"With Elder Taro taking action, he has no hope of escape," Dakai Tanikawa's face twisted into a matching grin. "Once we catch him, I'll show him what real torture is. Daring to win my money, daring to deceive me… he's just asking to die."

He was indeed no simpleton. He had managed to invite a Gold Core Realm Initial Stage expert and mobilize enough people to find the disguised Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue in the sprawling city. Now, he was using them as bait to lure Zhang Bin to his death.

"That man must have come for the Hero Auction, carrying priceless treasures. All his treasures will belong to me," Noguchi Taro's face was a mask of greed.

"Hahaha…"

The two of them burst into wild laughter, swaggering with extreme arrogance, as if they were invincible. It was as if they could already see the delightful scene of capturing Zhang Bin and torturing him to death.
