Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's mocking remark, Mu Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched, and she quickly glanced around...

She knew that if there really had been an ambush, they really needed to be careful...

While on alert, she heard the sound of footsteps growing closer!

Upon looking up, Mu Zhenzhen saw five black-clad figures walking towards them with a mocking expression...

After recognizing their attire, Mu Zhenzhen's face turned extremely ugly.

"These devils actually followed us here!"

Mu Zhenzhen muttered to herself in utter panic...

She recognized these black-clad figures and could even say she would never forget them!

Because it was these people who had captured Yao Yan'er before, leaving her face scarred...

Feeling Mu Zhenzhen's anxiety, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and asked, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong? Do you know them?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, Mu Zhenzhen opened her mouth hesitantly, "I..."

Seeing her panic-stricken appearance, Hu Xiaobei had a guess.

Taking a deep breath, he replied with a low voice, "They were the ones who scarred Yao Yan'er's face, weren't they?"

Startled by Hu Xiaobei's solemn words, Mu Zhenzhen stammered, "How... how did you know?"

"Your expression told me!"

Responding in such a manner, Hu Xiaobei turned to look at the mocking figures...

At that moment, a wave of anger churned inside Hu Xiaobei's heart...

When he first saw the gruesome wound on Yao Yan'er's face, he had felt an intense hatred for the perpetrator!

Therefore, he had always wanted to know exactly who hurt her.

Now that he knew, Hu Xiaobei naturally wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's anger, Mu Zhenzhen quickly said, "I'm sorry, Master Xiaobei, Yan'er and I didn't know they would come after us so quickly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to Sanfeng City to find you, let alone drag you into this. Now, I'll hold them off while you run!"

Mu Zhenzhen was aware that these demons were after her and Yao Yan'er.

She didn't want to drag Hu Xiaobei into it, as it would spell doom for him as well!

Hearing Mu Zhenzhen's decisive words, Hu Xiaobei smirked and replied, "You'll hold them off? Can you?"

"I... I can't, so you need to run! Better yet, head to the mountains; that way, they'll have a harder time chasing you!"

Mu Zhenzhen was aware that she was no match for them, even if she multiplied herself by ten!

But still, she had no intentions of backing down.

Because she knew the trouble was caused by herself and Yao Yan'er, and now she had to do everything possible to resolve it!

"How heartwarming!"

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, there's no need to run to the mountains or anything. We can just solve the problem right here!"

Speaking casually, Hu Xiaobei quickly took a step forward!

"Master Xiaobei... this..."

Seeing Hu Xiaobei step in front of her to protect her, she widened her eyes in shock...

Hearing her preparing to speak, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

"But... but they are not ordinary people, they are very strong!"

Mu Zhenzhen panicked!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei ready to face them head-on, she became completely anxious!

She had clashed with these people before...

It was precisely because of that, she knew how terrifying they really were, and felt that Hu Xiaobei had no chance of winning!

Under these circumstances, the best course of action for Hu Xiaobei was to turn and run.

Even if there was still a chance he might die, at least there would be an opportunity to escape...

"They are not ordinary people? Perfect! I'm not an ordinary person either!"

Sneering, Hu Xiaobei loosened up his body a bit...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei felt slightly exhilarated, as he truly sensed a faint threat emanating from these men...

Hu Xiaobei knew they were indeed capable!

But unfortunately for them, they had encountered him, and thus were destined to fail!

As he thought this, Hu Xiaobei heard an absolutely arrogant inquiry, "You are Hu Xiaobei, aren't you?"

Narrowing his eyes, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

"You know me? It seems like this time, you've come specifically for me!"

"Yes! Yao Yan'er is someone our master has taken a liking to! Apart from our master, no one else is worthy of touching her! By interacting with her now, you're disrespecting our master, and you've earned a spot on our master's blacklist. Because of this, we must make you regret it."

"So it's because of us indeed!"

Hearing the cold words of the black-clad figure, Mu Zhenzhen sighed quietly!

At this moment, she genuinely felt sorry for Hu Xiaobei...

Hu Xiaobei was unaware of Mu Zhenzhen's thoughts; he looked at them and smiled faintly, "It's really an honor for so many of you to come after me!"

He didn't take their threats seriously!

He only wanted to capture these men and thoroughly inquire about their crap master...

"So many of you? Who do you think you are! One person is enough to handle you! If you don't want to die, kneel now, or else, I'll saw off your legs immediately!"

With that ominous declaration, one black-clad figure quickly stepped out from the crowd...

The leading Yamamoto-kun saw this person emerge and frowned slightly!

Wanting to say something, Yamamoto-kun swiftly let it go!

He knew allowing this underling to test Hu Xiaobei's strength was a good idea.

Hearing the arrogant threat, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Saw off my legs?"

"Indeed! I'll give you three seconds to consider, One!"

As the black-clad figure began counting, Mu Zhenzhen clenched her fists anxiously...

"Master Xiaobei can't die like this, absolutely not!"

With that thought, Mu Zhenzhen prepared to say something, but suddenly saw Hu Xiaobei disappear on the spot!

"What..."

Looking quickly, she saw Hu Xiaobei charge straight at the black-clad figure...

"It's over!"

Watching Hu Xiaobei taking the initiative to attack, Mu Zhenzhen bit her lip nervously...

"If you don't take Heavens' road, you're going to Hell on your own accord!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei charging at him, the black-clad figure smirked...

All along, he hadn't taken Hu Xiaobei seriously, so now that he saw him charging, he didn't care in the slightest...

...

"It's time to really show off in front of others!"

Thinking thus, he swiftly grasped a sharp shuriken…

Yes!

These were ninjas from Japan.

Each of them possessed terrifying strength…

Therefore, they had never truly taken Hu Xiaobei seriously from the start…

"Here it comes!"

Looking at the dark shuriken, Mu Zhenzhen, who stood not far off, felt a chill throughout her body!

Previously, she had clashed with these ninjas, but when they used these weapons, Mu Zhenzhen was utterly overpowered…

"Master Xiaobei will surely be suppressed too!"

As Mu Zhenzhen thought this, the man in black clothes smiled cruelly and swiftly launched the shuriken in his hand!

"Dodge, Master Xiaobei, you must dodge!"

Mu Zhenzhen felt ice-cold with tension at that moment.

Because she saw Hu Xiaobei's body being directly pierced by the rapidly thrown shuriken…

"There's no challenge at all! I…"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black heard a thud…

Upon closer inspection, he realized his thrown shuriken had pierced into the tree trunk behind…

Importantly, there wasn't a single drop of blood on it!

"How… how is this possible? Is he bloodless?"

Squinting, he noticed something startling!

Because in that moment, he saw the body of Hu Xiaobei, which should have been impaled, quickly dissipate…

It was an afterimage!

Realizing this, he tensed up…

"You're reacting way too slowly!"

Hearing this faint voice, he inwardly sensed trouble!

At the same time, he quickly turned around…

But it was already too late…

As soon as he turned, he felt a sharp pain!

The next second, he felt himself losing balance…

When he came to his senses again, he had slid across the ground for several meters, like trash…

Struggling to prop himself up, he asked coldly, "You… when did you get behind me?"

"You think I'd tell you?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's sarcastic response, the furious man was about to curse out loud but suddenly felt his body go numb!

Moving a bit, he asked in utter terror, "What… what have you done to me? Why is my body numb?"

"It's the same answer as before, do you think I'll tell you?"

Taunting him again, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to look at the stern-faced men in black, "Alright, stop wasting my time, come at me all at once!"

"This is… so cool!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's absolutely dominant demand, Mu Zhenzhen, standing behind him, felt her heart flutter…

At that moment, seeing Hu Xiaobei unleash such formidable strength, she truly fell for him…

...

If it had been a minute earlier, those people would have sneered at Hu Xiaobei's 'arrogant' words!

But not now.

For the man in black who had challenged Hu Xiaobei was convulsing on the ground…

"If you have the ability… kill me… if you can… ah…"

At this moment, the shuddering man could no longer form coherent sentences…

Seeing this, the others stiffened their expressions…

"Before, after investigating all sorts of information on you, I realized you were very tough. Now it seems, you were hiding your strength!"

As he spoke, Yamamoto-kun glanced at the man convulsing on the ground!

He felt not the slightest sympathy for him.

In Yamamoto-kun's view, this was all self-inflicted.

Hearing his icy remarks, Hu Xiaobei casually twisted his mouth, "I wasn't hiding my power; it's just that you trash aren't worth my full effort. Now, those who don't want to die, get lost immediately!"

"Get lost? Dream on! I want to see just how strong you really are!"

Having said this, Yamamoto-kun looked at his subordinates and commanded, "Attack together, and remember, don't be careless! Otherwise, you might capsize!"

"Yes!"

Heeding Yamamoto-kun's words, they nodded quickly!

At this point, even if Yamamoto-kun hadn't said anything, they wouldn't dare to be negligent.

They didn't want to end up like their comrade, who was now convulsing on the ground…

"Master Xiaobei!"

Seeing them all getting seriously prepared, Mu Zhenzhen couldn't help but worry again…

But seeing Hu Xiaobei's composed face, Mu Zhenzhen's worry lessened…

"Zhenzhen, step back! Otherwise, you might be injured by accident!"

"Okay!"

She agreed, then said to Hu Xiaobei, "Be careful, Master Xiaobei!"

Feeling Mu Zhenzhen's concern, Hu Xiaobei blinked, "Haha, you haven't agreed to be my girlfriend yet, so I can't die!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's teasing words, Mu Zhenzhen shyly rolled her eyes.

Soon, she whispered softly, "Master Xiaobei, if you win… I'll… I'll agree with you!"

After saying this, she quickly ran away…

Hu Xiaobei watched her retreating figure and muttered to himself, "Looks like I really have to go all out this time!"

While Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, all of them charged at him in an instant…

"Having more people doesn't always help!"

Sneering at this, Hu Xiaobei charged swiftly and coldly towards them…
