Li Se sensed the location of the imprint and drove off. Half an hour later, his car stopped in front of a suburban villa. It was late, but the villa was brightly lit.
"Wu Yu, you mean the person who cured Ding Peng's蠱 poison this time is the same person who cured his wife last time?"
In the villa's living room, a man with slightly dark skin and a large build spoke. He exuded a murderous aura. If an ordinary person were before him, just one look from him would send them trembling in fear.
This man was the president of the Black Dragon Society, Lin Hu!
"Master, yes." The voice belonged to the black shadow who had escaped from Li Se the previous night.
"Even you are no match for him?" Lin Hu asked with a frown.
"No!" Wu Yu shook his head slightly. "I was fortunate to escape yesterday. The opponent's strength is immense, likely a master of ancient martial arts."
"If he's a master of ancient martial arts, then it's not surprising. Wu Yu specializes in casting spells, not combat. Combat matters should be left to us," a very thin man beside him said with a chuckle.
Wu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if Ding Peng is disobedient, why not kill him directly? Why make it so troublesome?"
Lin Hu shook his head and said, "He's the mayor, after all. If we kill him, it will definitely attract the attention of the enforcement department, and we'll be unable to move freely. Moreover, killing Ding Peng is easy, but it's meaningless. Only by controlling him can we develop our influence in Jiangnan Province."
He paused and sighed, "I have another purpose for coming to Qingyun City. I've heard there's a divine physician here who might be able to treat my child."
"Who?!"
Suddenly, the thin man shouted and quickly grabbed a plate from the table, hurling it towards a direction.
With a bang, the plate shattered. From that direction, a person slowly walked out – it was Li Se.
"It's you!" Wu Yu's expression changed slightly when he saw Li Se. "Master, he's the one who removed the蛊 poison!"
"How did you find this place?" Lin Hu asked in a deep voice.
The Black Dragon Society acted with extreme caution, making it difficult to track them. Moreover, they were all capable individuals, and tracking them was not easy.
Li Se retracted his palm, and a light flashed on Wu Yu's body. It resembled a symbol but quickly disappeared.
"A master of the Xuanmen?" the thin man exclaimed.
"Kill him!" Lin Hu said calmly. The Black Dragon Society had individuals with such abilities, so he wasn't overly concerned.
The thin man was the first to charge, like a leopard, lunging towards Li Se and striking out with his claw.
*Bang!*
Before Li Se could even move, a figure had already rushed out, blocking the thin man. It was naturally Xu Qiang, who grinned, "Your opponent is me!"
"You're seeking death!" the thin man roared, lunging again. Soon, he and Xu Qiang were locked in combat. Both their attacks were fierce, and for a time, it was difficult to determine a winner.
There were only four people in the living room. Besides Wu Yu and Lin Hu, the remaining two were the experts. Now that the thin man was occupied, another expert stepped forward, holding a saber.
"Wu Dao, kill him!" Lin Hu commanded.
"Alright!" This man, named Wu Dao, had already drawn his saber and slashed forward, like a fierce tiger breaking through a cage!
Facing this saber strike, Li Se dared not be careless. As he dodged to the side, his palm transformed into a blade, and he struck the saber's hilt with a palm strike.
With a clang, Wu Dao's saber trembled. Although the palm strike didn't hit his arm, it numbed it, and the saber almost slipped from his grasp.
Wu Dao reacted swiftly, his left hand turning into a palm and striking directly at Li Se's face.
Li Se was somewhat surprised. Wu Dao's strength was formidable; the moment he unleashed his saber and palm, a powerful aura erupted from him.
Aura was invisible, but it carried a deterrent effect!
"Good!" Li Se shouted, meeting the palm strike. When palms clashed, it was a test of whose strength was more potent.
Wu Dao stumbled back several steps, while Li Se remained unmoved. The difference in strength was clear.
"Boss, let me experience this person's saber skills."
Shan Dian, who had been hiding in the shadows, stepped out with a cold smile. He had intended to remain hidden, but seeing Wu Dao's skill, he felt a surge of eagerness.
"Good, leave it to you," Li Se said.
"I'll be your opponent next," Shan Dian grinned. After this period of recovery, his body had fully healed, and his strength had reached its peak.
Wu Dao remained silent and unleashed a saber strike, as if breaking through bamboo.
Shan Dian's expression showed a hint of seriousness, but more so excitement. Instead of dodging, he charged forward, engaging Wu Dao in combat.
Li Se ignored the battles of Xu Qiang and the others and approached Lin Hu. To his surprise, Lin Hu remained as steady as a mountain, utterly calm.
"You don't seem panicked?" Li Se asked, somewhat surprised.
"I, Lin Hu, have weathered great storms. How could I panic over such a trivial matter?"
Lin Hu shook his head. His sharp eyes glanced at Li Se and he continued with a smile, "Besides, you are not enough to make me panic. You are not qualified."
"Whether I'm qualified or not, you'll soon find out." Li Se reached out to grab Lin Hu, but suddenly sensed something. A strong sense of crisis washed over him. He instinctively looked at Wu Yu, but the latter remained motionless, showing no intention of attacking.
This sense of crisis was extremely familiar. Li Se quickly realized what was happening. His true qi erupted at this moment, concentrating almost entirely in his palm.
*Bang!*
The next second, a gunshot rang out.
As his true qi gathered in his palm, Li Se caught the incoming bullet with his bare hand.
"How is this possible?" Lin Hu abruptly stood up.
The hidden gunman's pupils contracted. Before he could react, the bullet in Li Se's hand was thrown back, returning along its original path.
*Thwack!*
The bullet pierced the gunman's heart. Soon, he fell from the second floor.
At this moment, Lin Hu and Wu Yu were no longer calm.
What had they just witnessed? Catching a bullet with bare hands? Was this a joke? The Black Dragon Society had ancient martial arts experts, but this was modern weaponry. Even an ancient martial arts master couldn't contend with firearms, let alone catch a bullet.
Lin Hu, who had been composed moments ago, was now covered in sweat. He cursed inwardly, "I've hit a snag!"
