Xiao Feng's strength is unquestionable.

But even when Xiao Feng faces Fujiwara Keiaki, he can't claim to take him down without receiving any damage, so the situation is very unfavorable.

Fujiwara Keiaki's expression on his face confirms this.

In the next moment, Xiao Feng suddenly feels an extreme danger approaching, an instinct developed after countless battles.

"Pull!"

Xiao Feng shouted, now being in mid-air without a point of strength, and holding Su Yuzhuo with one hand, he was like a live target, feeling extremely oppressed.

Letting go wasn't an option either, falling from this height wouldn't be fatal, but it would severely diminish his combat power, akin to seeking death.

Meanwhile, Fujiwara Keiaki on the ground picks up a stone the size of a head and throws it to the right side of Xiao Feng and Su Yuzhuo.

"Bang!"

After a loud noise, the stone is shattered directly, and Xiao Feng seizes the opportunity to see the attacker's appearance.

The attacker is an old woman dressed in a large robe, with a purple-black cane as her weapon. Once her identity is exposed, she doesn't linger in combat but retreats swiftly, seeming to abandon her attack on Xiao Feng and Su Yuzhuo.

"After so many years, you still haven't improved at all, truly disappointing." The old woman stands on a protruding rock, looking down at Fujiwara Keiaki below, her tone revealing an unmistakable haughtiness.

"Uesugi Yumi, no matter what, we are old acquaintances. It's not appropriate to start fighting as soon as we meet, is it?" Fujiwara Keiaki said with a sullen face.

These words are, in essence, a veiled admission of weakness.

But there's no other choice. Uesugi Yumi is a true Upper-level Ninja, whereas Fujiwara Keiaki is a quasi-Upper-level Ninja, which is frankly just filling the numbers.

Though there's only a word difference between them, that "quasi" signifies a significant gap in strength.

Upon hearing the name "Uesugi Yumi," Xiao Feng recalls chatting with Fujiwara Keiaki on the bus about this person, the family supported by the royal family, the true Ninja Clan, the Uesugi Clan.

Furthermore, the elderly lady who sent flowers to young Miao Xinyue was most likely her.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng inexplicably feels relieved.

A powerful opponent isn't terrifying, what's scary is not knowing who the opponent is. Now that he knows who's targeting him, he might as well confront them head-on.

Looking up at the distance to the cave, Xiao Feng said to Su Yuzhuo in his embrace, "I'll throw you up there first. From what your butler said, he probably can't handle Uesugi Yumi."

"You must be very careful. Uesugi Yumi isn't easy to deal with, especially since she's most proficient in the Illusion Technique, and if affected, survival is questionable," Su Yuzhuo said gravely.

"Okay." Xiao Feng nodded, greeted the people above, and was about to exert his strength to throw Su Yuzhuo up.

Just then, Su Yuzhuo added, "If you find yourself overwhelmed, retreat immediately. Ensuring your own safety is paramount."

Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled, "Am I that weak? Let's not talk about this, get ready, I'll count to three."

"What I mean is..." Su Yuzhuo clearly wanted to say more, but Xiao Feng had already started counting down.

"Three... Two... One!"

As soon as the final number was spoken, Xiao Feng exerted force, throwing Su Yuzhuo up to a height of three meters, and Lu Yao quickly caught her.

"Whew..."

After exhaling a breath, Xiao Feng signaled the people above to lower a whip, soon landing on the ground, standing together with Fujiwara Keiaki to jointly resist the enemy.

"Are you in such a hurry to die?" Uesugi Yumi sneered, "Then I'll grant your wish!"

As her voice fell, she suddenly thrust her cane down.

"Boom!"

The protruding rock on the mountain wall shattered once more, raising dust into the sky, concealing Uesugi Yumi's figure.

"I said before, Uesugi Yumi was already an Upper-level Ninja twenty years ago, now it seems her strength has not only not declined with age but has improved," Fujiwara Keiaki quickly said.

Honestly, he was quite surprised that Xiao Feng came down to assist him in the fight, even feeling flattered.

But this is not the time to discuss such things, with a formidable enemy ahead, it's crucial not to lose focus.

At this moment, as the dust scattered with the wind, Uesugi Yumi seemed to have vanished, not reappearing for a long time, but Xiao Feng and Fujiwara Keiaki stayed vigilant, evidently not believing she'd just walk away.

"Are there other hidden ninjas around?" Xiao Feng quietly asked, looking around, trying to find any flaw.

Fujiwara Keiaki pondered, "There must be, but disguise and concealment are basic skills of ninjas, you've seen them before, unless they reveal themselves, it's hard to find them."

...

Time passed by the minute, Uesugi Yumi still didn't show herself, like a dormant snake in the desert, waiting for an opportunity to make a thunderous strike.

Being stuck like this, Xiao Feng and Fujiwara Keiaki couldn't help but feel some headache.

The old saying goes, being a thief for a thousand days is easy, but guarding against a thief for a thousand days is as hard as reaching the sky.

Because they don't know when the opponent might strike, they must remain constantly vigilant, which is mentally exhausting.

Suddenly, Xiao Feng seemed to think of something, and turned to Fujiwara Keiaki, "Aren't you also proficient in Ninjutsu?"

Fujiwara Keiaki seemed confused, not knowing what Xiao Feng wanted, but he nodded, replying, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Let's hide too!" Xiao Feng decisively said, "Instead of being so tense and alert, why not move to the dark. I remember a saying: to defeat darkness, besides relying on light, is to merge with darkness."

"Is there such a saying?" Fujiwara Keiaki frowned, racking his brain but unable to recall where he heard it.

"There is!" Xiao Feng nodded affirmatively.

"Who said that?"

"Why ask so much, just take it as if I said it, okay?"

Fujiwara Keiaki: "..."

So you still have the mood to joke around?

But after thinking carefully, there seemed to be some truth in those words, so he nodded, "We can try, but I can easily hide myself, taking you along might not be possible."

"I don't care, just tell me where you hide, then I'll take a nap near you, acting as bait. You just keep an eye on me," Xiao Feng said indifferently.

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Fujiwara Keiaki asked in disbelief.

In his view, Xiao Feng was undoubtedly a cautious person, such a personality would definitely not put himself in danger.

"Certain!" Xiao Feng nodded forcefully.
