This kid is a genius.

Both Zhu Fan and Kawashima, facing the powerful blow before them, had only admiration in their hearts for Xiaofan.

This kid is definitely a battle genius.

His agile movements, powerful yet discreet attack force, every move devoid of flashiness, striking just perfectly each time.

'Bang.'

As the palms met, Kawashima staggered back five steps before stopping, looking at Xiaofan with amazement.

"How was that? Surprised enough?"

"Good kid. If it weren't for Zhu Fan's impatience, if he had held back for two years, this old man would've been powerless against you." With those words, Kawashima gathered his strength again, rushing at Xiaofan.

"Hey, don't play dead. I can't handle him on my own," Xiaofan whispered, then staggered to dodge Kawashima's sharp attack.

"Damn it, I'm the boss of Red Butterfly, and yet I'm being ordered around by this kid," Zhu Fan muttered a low curse but didn't deny what Xiaofan said was true.

Seeing Black Mantis dodge Kawashima's assault, Zhu Fan intervened again, blocking Kawashima's pursuit of Black Mantis.

With Kawashima successfully distracted, Xiaofan freed his hands, turning back to challenge Kawashima again.

Their coordinated attacks left Kawashima unable to counter at all.

And as Zhu Fan saw victory within reach, his fighting spirit increased as he thought exactly as his opponent noted: with Black Mantis's help in a few more years, Red Butterfly could truly stand atop the world. By then, he wouldn't need to hide anymore, could collaborate with many powerful nations, and fully build his own little kingdom.

But for now, it's time to get rid of this old obstacle standing in the way of those dreams.

Kawashima wasn't just taking hits; he realized it was extremely hard to seize a chance between the two. He needed a teammate's help to easily break them apart and defeat them separately.

Kawashima first thought of the few same sect junior brothers he brought along. Without a word, he turned and quickly ran to the nearest companion.

What Kawashima thought was, as long as he helped his companion deal with the assassins entangled nearby, he could free up to assist himself.

"Where are you going…" Naturally, Zhu Fan saw his intentions, shouted loudly, and chased after him.

"Old Han…"

"Eh."

"Two o'clock direction, Kawashima's heading there."

"Got it."

"Sneak up and give him something fierce."

"Heh heh, will do."

Closest to Kawashima was Han Shengjun, entangled with those assassins, which was troublesome. Despite many opportunities to strike, Xiaofan instructed not to end them too quickly, avoiding future trouble. But seeing so many opportunities pass by was very frustrating.

Now, Xiaofan suddenly informed him of this great opportunity which Han Shengjun wouldn't waste, quietly focusing his strength. As Kawashima prepared to approach, he leapt forward, blocking Kawashima's path.

"Huh? What's this?" Suddenly blocked by the Big Guy, Kawashima forcibly stopped.

"Mountain-Opening Palm."

With a fierce shout, Han Shengjun unleashed the long-prepared Mountain-Opening Palm forcefully at Kawashima.

A gust of wind rushed forth; Kawashima hadn't anticipated someone waiting for him here, and in desperation, could only extend his hands to meet this palm.

'Bang.'

Crack...

Kawashima was directly knocked back; this palm violently stirred his blood though he suppressed the injury with Inner Strength, some blood still seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, I waited too long to hit this palm," Han Shengjun stood straight, glancing at his palm, the Big Guy broke into a childlike grin.

Indeed, this was the Mountain-Opening Palm that Ye Aotian taught him back at Xiaofan's home. To practice it so long without an opportunity to demonstrate was frustrating. Now finally able to strike, it was truly satisfying.

Thinking this, Han Shengjun prepared to charge again.

"Stop, Old Han, go back to what you were doing."

"Come on, let me hit another palm, it's frustrating being in limbo like this." Han Shengjun said faintly over the intercom.

"This isn't a game. And besides, what's up with you, I told you to hit him once. Just throw a bomb and be done!"

"Huh? Bomb? Ahem, got caught up in the fight, forgot."

"Quick, get back to watching that expert, let him kill a few, but don't let him wipe them all out."

"Alright."

What's happening? When did so many Inner Family experts appear in Red Butterfly? Could this be Zhu Fan's long-hidden secret weapon?

Originally thinking to have the Federation Bureau make the first move, disrupt Red Butterfly's order, then strike directly to Yellow Dragon with his men. Logically, if he controlled Zhu Fan, the situation would become clear, but now, things were unexpectedly troubling.

He thought eliminating the four junior brothers he brought posed no problem, especially with the Sakura Squad and Beiyin Style personnel. They could absolutely take control.

However now, despite the four junior brothers still holding the upper hand, Red Butterfly's elite assassins were decreasing too slowly.

The Sakura Squad and Beiyin Style began losing advantage; not because lacking numbers, but those snipers upstairs were indeed causing trouble.

"Mr. Kawashima, we should leave room, perhaps there might be cooperation possibilities in the future," Zhu Fan approached slowly, speaking calmly to Kawashima.

"Young man, don't forget, we can put you in the position of Red Butterfly's boss, and easily remove you."

"So what? I might not be Red Butterfly's boss, but I want to be the king of the kingdom I'm building, hahaha…"

"Dream on…"

"Negotiations over, seems taking you down is the first step to building my kingdom."

No more words, only the inevitable fight.

Seeing Kawashima wounded, Zhu Fan considered teaming up with Black Mantis to strike again, ensuring their opportunity to take him down, which indeed seemed true.

Kawashima found himself cornered, forced now to continue fighting Zhu Fan.

"Black Mantis, what are you waiting for?" Seeing Black Mantis hesitant, Zhu Fan couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Oh come on, why yell? I'm waiting for the chance to take him out in one move, ridiculous." Xiaofan snapped irritably, seeing an excellent opportunity approaching.
