"Ah, what is that!"

Following this exclamation, a scream echoed through the room, accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground.

"What's going on? Turn on the lights quickly."

Responding to the shout, someone stumbled and fumbled to find the switch and turned the lights on.

Everyone was astonished at that moment because one of their group had already collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

A few were taken aback, and one said, "I told you there were ghosts. You didn't believe me. How do you explain this?"

"It's not ghosts. There must be someone else in here. Quickly, find them; they're in our room."

"Forget searching; he's already unconscious. Let's get him out of here quickly."

"Leave? Where to? What about our task? Let's deal with this guy first, and then we can go."

That person said, "No way, didn't you see? We can't kill this guy."

"Impossible, finish him off quickly."

Just as the three were discussing, the lights suddenly went out again.

The atmosphere in the room changed; from silent to screams. Two among them began running.

Suddenly, another shadow appeared in the room, followed by another scream.

Another screamed out and then went silent—undoubtedly, someone was struck down.

This was terrifying. The remaining two didn't dare stay any longer. They found the door and attempted to leave but then realized, horrified, that the door wouldn't open.

The two were instantly panicked.

"The door won't open. What do we do now?"

They pulled on the door desperately, but it simply wouldn't budge.

Just then, the room lights flickered on, and the two were momentarily dazed. They turned back to see those who were originally asleep at the table now stirring awake.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei and Emelin were staring at them.

These two seemed to realize something, and one shouted angrily at Ling Zhenfei, "So it was you! You two weren't poisoned at all."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Nonsense, with your tricks, you thought you could poison me? We were merely playing with you."

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, the two got very angry, "Alright, kid, you dared to fool us. Since you've found us out, there's no need for stealth anymore."

The two pulled out knives, seemingly ready to attack Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "Interesting, do you think you're qualified?"

The two said, "We may have feared your tricks earlier, but now we aren't afraid at all."

Ling Zhenfei waved them off, "Just you two, let me tell you, I can defeat you without using any part of my body. Do you believe it?"

One of them laughed, "Kid, you're too cocky. How do you fight us without using your body?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you don't believe me, come and try."

One glanced at the other, then both grabbed their daggers and charged at Ling Zhenfei.

These two were experienced, but in Ling Zhenfei's eyes, they were insignificant, lacking any interest to engage.

As they rushed toward him, their movements were ridiculously slow.

It's clear they often acted together, so their coordination was relatively good.

But in the face of absolute power, skills are meaningless.

As they approached Ling Zhenfei, he casually grabbed the wine bottle from the table and swung it at the head of the one in front.

Bang!

The wine bottle shattered against the man's head, showering wine and broken glass everywhere.

Ling Zhenfei's strike was immensely powerful, knocking the guy out while splintering the bottle. The remaining glass was razor-sharp.

The other guy hadn't even reacted when he felt a chilling sensation on his throat—all from the bottle now held against it.

This guy was quick-witted and immediately froze, raising his hands.

"Brother, I've made a mistake. I won't move, please don't act."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "See, I defeated you without using my body, just a bottle."

The man, terrified, said, "Yes, yes, you're amazing, my mistake."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Enough with the nonsense. Answer my questions truthfully, or I'll make you bleed."

"Yes, yes, boss, ask away. If I know, I'll definitely tell you."

Ling Zhenfei continued, "I'll wake them up later and ask a question. If their answer differs from yours, I'll kill you."

"I won't lie; I promise to tell you everything I know," the man assured confidently.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Okay, tell me who sent you."

The man answered, "It was Boss Feng."

Ling Zhenfei had guessed this and asked, "You mean Feng Zilong?"

The man nodded, "Yes, exactly, Feng Zilong."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What did he say? To kill me?"

The man replied, "Yes, and it should look like an accidental death."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You must've been bold to come looking for trouble with such weak power. I'm impressed."

The man lamented, "I didn't know you were this powerful, or we wouldn't have come."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "How did Feng Zilong know I was at this hotel? Today is my first day here."

The man answered, "Our boss is familiar with Tangcheng. He knew your location the moment your plane landed, so it was easy to find you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Feng Zilong sent you to deal with me. Why involve a girl?"

The man explained, "She was with you, so we thought we'd deal with both at once. Our boss always instructs us not to harm innocents."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "After all the evil deeds, he still pretends to be merciful. He's quite the actor."

The man pleaded, "Boss, you know we didn't intend this; we had no choice. Our boss ordered us."

Ling Zhenfei said, "People like you wouldn't be missed if killed. But I'm not one to enjoy killing.

However, I won't let you off easily. I have an elixir here; if you want to live, take it. If not, I'll end you both now."
