"Pretty fast!" Leng Feng sneered, his body spinning like a top, the dagger in his hand turning into streaks of cold light, stabbing towards Lu Zhaoming's vital points.

With the support of "Absolute Defense" and "Berserk Mode", Lu Zhaoming barely managed to withstand Leng Feng's attacks, but he still inevitably had bloody marks left on his body.

"This won't do!" Lu Zhaoming thought to himself. Leng Feng's strength far exceeded his expectations. If they continued to fight head-on like this, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted, "Leng Feng, your wife and children are in my hands!"

Leng Feng's movements froze for a moment.

"Hahaha, you fell for it!" Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity and kicked Leng Feng in the chest, sending him flying.

Leng Feng collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face turning as pale as paper.

"You...you tricked me!" Leng Feng roared.

Lu Zhaoming shrugged: "All's fair in war! Besides, would a heartless guy like you even have a wife and kids?"

Leng Feng struggled to stand up, but Lu Zhaoming wouldn't give him the chance. He rushed forward and stomped on Leng Feng's chest.

"Speak, who sent you?" Lu Zhaoming asked coldly.

Leng Feng gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Lu Zhaoming sneered, took out a black pill from his pocket, and stuffed it into Leng Feng's mouth.

"What is this?" Leng Feng asked in horror.

"A slow-acting poison. Without the antidote every day, you'll die from festering sores all over your body," Lu Zhaoming said calmly. "So, have you thought it through?"

Leng Feng's expression shifted, but he finally yielded: "Yes...it is Lord Chi Xiao."

"Red Owl?" Lu Zhaoming frowned; this was the first time he had ever heard of this name.

"Who is he?" Lu Zhaoming asked.

"Lord Chi Xiao is..." Before Leng Feng could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

"What the heck, are you serious?" Lu Zhaoming was startled and quickly took a few steps back. He hadn't done anything!

"It seems this Crimson Owl is no ordinary person..." Lu Zhaoming looked at Leng Feng's corpse.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of crisis coming from behind him. Without thinking, he lunged to the side.

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet grazed his scalp before hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Who?!" Lu Zhaoming roared, turning around abruptly, only to see Su Li holding a gun and pointing it at him.

"What...what are you doing?!" Lu Zhaoming asked in shock and anger.

Su Li smiled alluringly and lightly licked her lips with her tongue: "Of course... I'll send you on your way..."

Back in the post-apocalyptic safe house, Lu Zhaoming kicked open the door, burning with rage.

"That little vixen Su Li actually dared to scheme against me!"

With a bang, he slammed the gun in his hand onto the table, making the parts on it jump.

Su Li's betrayal made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He had always thought he could trust this woman, but he never expected that she was actually one of Chi Xiao's people!

"Boss, calm down." Lin Shuang walked over and handed him a glass of water. "Now is not the time to be angry. We need to think about what to do next."

Lu Zhaoming took the water, drank it all in one gulp, and tried to calm himself down.

"Qinglian, tell me everything you know about Chixiao," Lu Zhaoming said in a deep voice.

Qinglian nodded and told her everything she knew.

It turns out that Red Owl is a newly emerging force in the wasteland, known for its ruthlessness, specializing in recruiting all kinds of desperados and superhumans to work for him.

“Red Owl is very strong, with many skilled hunters under his command, and he himself is also a powerful superhuman,” Qinglian said. “Leng Feng is just one of his capable henchmen.”

"Looks like we've met our match this time." Lu Zhaoming sneered. "Since he wants to play, then I'll play along to the very end!"

"Boss, what do you want to do?" Lin Shuang asked.

"Since Chi Xiao wants to use Leng Feng's hunter team against me, then I'll strike first and wipe out his hunter team!" Lu Zhaoming

“But, boss, your body…” Su Li said with some concern, “You just used Judgment Storm, and your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Isn’t it too risky to go head-to-head with Crimson Owl right now?”

“We don’t have time.” Lu Zhaoming shook his head. “Chi Xiao won’t give us a chance to breathe. If we don’t take action soon, we’ll probably be put on the defensive.”

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'!" Lu Zhaoming interrupted Su Li. "I've made up my mind. This time, I'm going to make Chi Xiao pay the price!"

As he spoke, he took a talisman out of his pocket and handed it to Su Li.

"This was given to me by an eagle. It's said to be able to withstand a fatal attack," Lu Zhaoming said. "Keep it safe for me; it can be used in a critical moment."

Su Li took the amulet and looked into Lu Zhaoming's determined eyes. She knew she couldn't change his decision and could only silently pray for his safe return.

According to the intelligence provided by Qinglian, Lu Zhaoming learned that Leng Feng had gathered all the hunters and laid an ambush in an abandoned factory, preparing to capture him in one fell swoop.

"Heh, trying to trap me like a turtle in a jar? Then I'll play along and lure the snake out of its hole!" Lu Zhaoming sneered.

He decided to deliberately expose his position to lure Leng Feng's hunter team out, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Lu Zhaoming also set up energy traps in advance and contacted a blacksmith to forge a special weapon for him—an energy dagger that could amplify the effects of his supernatural abilities.
