"This?"

The person blocking the way had an incredibly graceful figure outlined by tight black clothing, undoubtedly a woman.

Standing at his doorstep late at night, this woman was clearly here to confront him.

Xu Fan stopped the car, then directly leaped out of it.

Jumping out of the car, Xu Fan immediately cast his gaze upon the woman.

The dark night couldn't impede Xu Fan's vision. After glancing a few times, he recognized the woman.

This was the female ninja, previously hired by Zhou Zidong from the Zhou Family in Shanghai, to kill him.

Even though it was just a brief encounter, Xu Fan had a certain impression of this charming female ninja.

"What's this? How much did you get paid this time to take my life?"

Leaning against the car, Xu Fan started to banter with her.

This woman had accepted Zhou Zidong's money to take his life last time, and not only failed the task but also ended up being seen naked by him.

Even after suffering such a big loss, why wouldn't she learn a lesson and still come to trouble him?

"..."

Not finding Xu Fan's banter amusing, Honda Tsubasa stood calmly in front of him, her expression shockingly composed.

Looking coldly at Xu Fan, she stretched out her hand.

"Return the secret manual of the Honda family!"

Clearly aware of the significant difference in strength between herself and this man, opposing him meant certain defeat.

But now, with the family secret manual stolen, Honda Tsubasa didn't care about much anymore.

Even if she had to sacrifice her life, she needed an explanation from him.

"What? Secret manual?"

Upon hearing Honda Tsubasa's words, Xu Fan was momentarily stunned.

Then he understood what the woman was talking about.

She belonged to a ninja family in Dongying, and her family's secret manual had evidently been stolen by that person.

The "secret manual" she spoke of must refer to her family's ninjutsu manual.

But why was she looking for him?

"Hey, missy, you got the wrong person, didn't you?"

This accusation was baffling, and Xu Fan didn't intend to take it.

But Honda Tsubasa refused to believe Xu Fan's denial, and her expression grew even more agitated.

"Who else could it be if not you!"

"I don't know your reasons! But please, return the secret manual to me immediately!"

Xu Fan's cultivation level was the strongest Honda Tsubasa had ever seen. With such a major event happening in the Dongying martial arts world, he was the first person she thought of.

Besides Xu Fan, she couldn't think of anyone else capable of sweeping through the Dongying martial arts world and easily stealing so many secret manuals.

The family's secret manual was of utmost importance to their development. Honda Tsubasa came to Jinling resolved to face death.

Even at the cost of her life, she had to seize the secret manual from Xu Fan's hands!

"Phew."

Looking at the determined Dongying girl, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

This woman, he didn't know what to say about her.

Even if he had that power, there still needed to be evidence, right?

Currently, there was no evidence from Guan Shanhai or Miyamoto Kuro, and Xu Fan didn't expect to explain clearly to this woman with mere words.

It's known that when a woman starts being unreasonable, ten horses can't pull her back.

Shrugging, Xu Fan said, "I don't have the kind of secret manual you're talking about. But I do have plenty of those collaborative film secret manuals from your Dongying. If you're interested, you can come up with me to admire them. If you're not interested, then sorry, don't block my way."

"You!"

Honda Tsubasa understood Xu Fan's reference to collaborative film secret manuals.

Seeing him disregard her and prepare to leave, she gritted her teeth and drew the katana strapped to her back!

With a clang, it sounded like a dragon's cry!

Under the moonlight, a silver dragon surged forth from the darkness!

With Honda Tsubasa's swift footsteps, the silver dragon whipped up a few gusts of wind, charging towards Xu Fan!

"Oh? Getting serious now?"

Feeling the surge of killing intent behind him, Xu Fan halted and turned his head to look at Honda Tsubasa.

Watching her sword attack, Xu Fan squinted his eyes.

This woman was indeed a promising talent.

Since their last encounter, not much time had passed, yet in this short span, her cultivation speed exceeded Xu Fan's expectations.

Now as an Innate Realm expert, given her skill and experience, few could rival her.

A brief moment of thought, and Honda Tsubasa's sword was already closing in!

The wind from the sword howled! It was like a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry in his ears!

Just the wind from the sword made Xu Fan's clothes flutter violently! It was hard to imagine what situation Xu Fan would be in if Honda Tsubasa's sword hit!

"What's this guy's intention?"

With no possibility of avoiding at such a distance, Honda Tsubasa was curious why this guy turned back and didn't dodge.

She knew with his strength, dodging was not beyond him.

"Humph, arrogant fool!"

Quickly, Honda Tsubasa concluded in her heart that Xu Fan didn't dodge because of his arrogance.

In less than a second, Xu Fan would be falling under her sword!

Then, she would make him obediently give up all the secret manuals!

"Good swordsmanship."

Just as she was about to succeed, suddenly, a voice of praise echoed in the night.

Honda Tsubasa was momentarily stunned!

The praise clearly came from Xu Fan and, as his voice resonated, Xu Fan's two fingers came together and reached towards the sword edge in Honda Tsubasa's hand!

This guy! Is he crazy!

Using fingers against a sword edge, no matter how one thought about it, it was idiotic!

Let alone, given Honda Tsubasa's cultivation level now, this sword was filled with rampant Sword Qi on the blade edge!

Even a slight touch would be enough to grind the fingers into dust!

"Wha... What?"

Just as she was shocked by Xu Fan's actions, another unbelievable event unfolded before Honda Tsubasa's eyes!

As fingers and sword edge drew closer, a strand of dazzling blue Qi Force emerged from Xu Fan's fingertips! In an instant, his fingers transformed as if into a short sword!

The Qi Force in his hand effortlessly shattered the Sword Radiance on Honda Tsubasa's sword edge!

Following that, his two fingers firmly clamped onto the longsword held by Honda Tsubasa!

"You!"

Never would she have imagined his sword could be effortlessly undone by Xu Fan's two fingers!

Honda Tsubasa's face was now filled with shame and anger!

After being defeated by him that day, upon returning to Dongying, she canceled all tasks and went into seclusion for training.

During this time, she endured countless hardships, but her growth was remarkably evident.

The significant improvement in her strength brought her immense confidence!

She was convinced that facing Xu Fan this time, she wouldn't lose as embarrassingly as last time.

Yet who would have thought, this time, he overwhelmed her with just two fingers?
