Suddenly, he increased the force again, and Lin Wan'er let out a painful whimper, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Zhuiming rushed over and tried to reason with Li Zhanfeng:

“Master Feng, that won’t do. Lin Wan’er is a good tool for us to deal with the Emperor Killing Alliance. If you kill Lin Wan’er now just to vent your anger, I’m afraid you’ll suffer more losses in the future.”

Li Zhanfeng's bloodthirsty, cold eyes were filled with intense hatred. At this moment, Lin Wan'er's face seemed like a demon to him.

It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart, forcing him to kill the demon with his own hands to give him pleasure. But the intense obsession deep within him was like a vine, tightly binding his hands and preventing him from increasing his strength.

His twisted fingers trembled as he released Lin Wan'er, his bloodthirsty eyes becoming even more ferocious: "I'll spare your life for now!"

"But I'm telling you, the demise of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is imminent!"

After saying that, he turned around decisively, his eyes filled with a sinister glint, like those of a demon.

Dare to touch his tenderness? Ha!

He will make the Emperor-Slaying Alliance suffer a terrible death!!!

...

A night battered by a storm is destined to be anything but peaceful.

After Gu Wanrou came out of the bathroom, she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, but with thunder and rain raging outside, she tossed and turned several times trying to fall asleep, but could not.

When she woke up in the bathroom, Li Zhanfeng was already gone.

It's so late, and there's such a strong wind and rain outside. Where could Li Zhanfeng have gone?

As she was lost in thought, a familiar whistle suddenly came from outside the window.

The whistle wasn't very clear, but it felt like an electric current running through Gu Wanrou's heart, making all the meridians in her body active!

That voice... is it Master?!

From the moment she joined the Glazed Pavilion, her master secretly and continuously guided her training, which is why she made continuous progress later on.

But in the past year or two, her master had never come to see her. Why is he suddenly coming to see her now at this critical juncture?

She quickly got up and ran towards the villa's courtyard without hesitation: "Master!"

Half a minute later, Gu Wanrou finally saw the figure she once knew so well in the courtyard, and a surge of excitement welled up in her chest.

In the dead of night, a violent storm raged in the courtyard. The raging wind whipped up the woman's dark clothes, and her tall figure stood straight against the storm, her whole body strong and powerful, like a sharp and peerless sword.

However, she wore a chilling iron chain mask, making it impossible to see her true face.

"Master? What brings you here?" Gu Wanrou had just tried to move forward when suddenly, the Iron Mask's sharp eyes flashed with an eagle-like sharpness. With a flick of her fingertips and a flip of her sleeve, two pistols were suddenly drawn from her waist and fired at Gu Wanrou!

A cold glint flashed in Gu Wanrou's eyes as she nimbly dodged her master's attack!

The decisive and ruthless speed shocked Gu Wanrou. She knew that her master always liked to subject her to various cruel training methods, but she did not expect that her master's hostility towards her would be so great this time!

But all of this seemed to be just the beginning, as the masked man fired his gun faster and faster!

From initially standing still, he eventually launched a double attack with both fists and feet, each move deadly, his methods so ruthless that it seemed he was pushing Gu Wanrou into a pile of death!

Her actions seemed mature and ruthless, but Gu Wanrou's seemingly delicate body was like an ever-resilient pine or bamboo, always able to perfectly deal with the Iron Mask's countless attacks with the ease of deflecting a thousand pounds with a few blows!

"Master, what's wrong with you?!" Gu Wanrou delivered a beautiful spinning kick, and taking advantage of the moment when the masked man was on guard, she reached around behind him with her other hand and tightly gripped the masked man's two pistols!

This time, the master was so different; it was practically pushing her to the brink of death!

A sharp glint flashed in the masked man's eyes. With a powerful force, he suppressed Gu Wanrou's wrist and threw her into the muddy pit without hesitation, looking down at her from above!

That cold, icy gaze, like that of a supreme creator, inspires awe and fear in all who behold it!

"You were surrounded by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and almost didn't survive, right? Do you know that you almost lost your life! Gu Wanrou, what would have happened if Li Zhanfeng hadn't come this time? Have you thought about it?! It's all because your strength isn't enough!"

"Gu Wanrou! Come on, let's have another match! Don't even think about going back to sleep until you're exhausted and collapse on the ground! You're living on the edge right now, do you know that only strong strength can guarantee your invincibility!"

"Do you think you can accomplish the tasks I assign you in the future, given your current state?!"

The voice struck Gu Wanrou's heart like a hammer, each word hitting her hard. Gu Wanrou stubbornly climbed out of the mud, her eyes filled with resentment and resistance!

Yes, if she were strong enough, she should have been able to escape alive even if the enemy outnumbered her by dozens of times!

But tonight she relied on Li Zhanfeng. If it weren't for Li Zhanfeng, she wouldn't be standing here alive right now!

Ultimately, it was because she wasn't strong enough. Her mortal body was ultimately no match for a thousand troops!

Gu Wanrou fiercely wiped the water off her face, gritted her teeth, and looked at the masked man resolutely: "Come on! Keep going!"

She endured so much training in the Glazed Pavilion, so what's a little training like this?!

Master is right, only strong strength can guarantee one's invincibility!

I will never rely on anyone again!!!
