Hearing Ye Feng's words, Su Keqing suddenly realized something and quickly said, "Ah? Sorry, sorry!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly got off Ye Feng, her entire face flushed red! But the next moment, she felt something was wrong.
"Right, why should I apologize to him? He was the one who took advantage!" Su Keqing said to herself, filled with indignation.
At this moment, the assassin got up from the ground, holding his severely injured body, and was about to escape.
Seeing this, Su Keqing immediately forgot about being taken advantage of and shouted loudly, "Ye Feng, don't let him get away!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng took out his Seven Stars Step and appeared directly in front of the man in black. He struck him with a palm, sending him flying back and crashing in front of Su Keqing.
Seeing this, Su Keqing immediately took out her handcuffs and securely cuffed the man's hands.
After doing this, Su Keqing finally relaxed and said, "Finally caught this guy. Ye Feng, thank you!"
Ye Feng stepped forward and said, "No need to thank me. By the way, why are you here?"
Su Keqing explained, "Recently, there have been assassins composed of cultivators committing crimes in Dongchuan City. I received orders from my superiors to investigate this matter. Today, I discovered this guy's whereabouts and tracked him all the way here. Who knew I'd run into you here!"
Ye Feng nodded upon hearing this, "Oh, I see!"
"Right, Ye Feng! It's only been a few days, how did you get so powerful? Or were you always this powerful and just deceiving me?" Su Keqing circled Ye Feng, examining him.
Hearing this, Ye Feng touched his nose and said, "No, no!"
"No? Still pretending? You can already manifest spiritual energy externally, and you say no?" Su Keqing said indignantly.
Last time, she thought Ye Feng was someone with innate divine strength and even brought him to see her master.
But unfortunately, her master said Ye Feng had no talent.
Yet, the person her master called untalented could actually manifest spiritual energy externally. This simply overturned her worldview!
However, Ye Feng truly didn't know what "manifesting spiritual energy externally" meant.
This was only the second time he had heard the term "manifesting spiritual energy externally." The first time was from the boss of the Black Dragon Gang, and the second time was today!
"Uh, wh-what is manifesting spiritual energy externally?" Ye Feng scratched his head and asked awkwardly.
Su Keqing's brows furrowed even deeper upon hearing this. She said, "Ye Feng, do you think it's fun to tease me?"
"I, why would I tease you! I really don't know what manifesting spiritual energy externally is. Everything I've used was given to me by you last time!" Ye Feng spread his hands and said.
Su Keqing thought about it carefully and realized it was true!
Whether it was the Seven Stars Step or the Wave-疊掌, they were all things she had given to Ye Feng that day.
"You, you really don't understand any of this?" Su Keqing asked with some doubt.
Ye Feng nodded, "I really don't understand!"
Hearing this, Su Keqing had to temporarily believe Ye Feng and said, "Alright! Then I'll tell you about it!"
"Okay, then I'll listen attentively!" Ye Feng said excitedly.
Su Keqing straightened her thoughts and began, "Manifesting spiritual energy externally is like the Wave-疊掌 you used before. The palm strike can detach from the body and appear out of thin air! This is the mark of a Xiantian realm expert!"
Ye Feng asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Do you not condense palm imprints when you use the Wave-疊掌? What do your martial skills look like then?"
Su Keqing glanced at Ye Feng and said, "I'll show you, and you'll know!"
After speaking, she raised her hand and struck Ye Feng's back with a palm. Instantly, Ye Feng felt three forces coming from her palm, but no palm imprints appeared.
Ye Feng immediately understood. It meant that the power of the martial skill Su Keqing used could only be delivered through her arm and could not be displayed externally like Ye Feng could.
"So that's how it is!" Ye Feng was astonished after understanding.
But he didn't understand why he could directly manifest it externally and become the Xiantian realm expert they spoke of.
Finally, he thought of the Sea God's power. It was likely because the Sea God's power was different from the spiritual energy they cultivated!
This was indeed the case. The Xiantian realm that Su Keqing spoke of was being able to condense spiritual energy to a certain extent and release it externally.
Ye Feng's Sea God's power, however, was clearly a more advanced and mysterious type than spiritual energy. Without needing condensation, it could be directly released externally upon use.
At this moment, Su Keqing asked again, "By the way, why were you targeted by this assassin?"
Ye Feng said with a puzzled expression, "I don't know either! You'll have to ask that assassin!"
As they spoke, the two of them looked at the black-clothed assassin lying on the ground.
Ye Feng walked forward and directly pulled off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
Ye Feng looked at him and asked, "We don't know each other, and we have no enmity. Why do you want to kill me?"
The assassin snorted, "Hmph, no comment. Kill me or flay me, as you please!"
Seeing this, Su Keqing said, "People like them won't talk easily. If you want to know the answer, I have a way!"
As she spoke, Su Keqing immediately searched his body and found a mobile phone. Then, she found several phone numbers without any saved names.
"Ye Feng, look at this latest number. It was clearly contacted not long ago. Try calling it!" Su Keqing handed the phone to Ye Feng.
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately dialed.
However, as soon as the call was connected, an excited voice came from the other end, "Hello, have you dealt with that bastard Ye Feng yet?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt it was very familiar. In the next instant, he remembered who the owner of this voice was.
If it wasn't Qin Hao, who else could it be?
Therefore, Ye Feng shouted directly, "Qin Hao, you're something else! I haven't settled the score with you for finding people from the Black Dragon Gang to kill me last time, and now you've hired an assassin again. Do you really think I'm made of mud and easy to bully?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao trembled all over and quickly hung up the phone, then threw it aside.
He said nervously, "How, how is this possible? How could that bastard Ye Feng get the assassin's phone?"
Although the other side didn't speak after hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Feng had already confirmed it was him.
"Alright, I'll take this guy back first! I'll contact you if anything comes up!" Su Keqing said.
Ye Feng immediately nodded and then left.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao, trembling, picked up his phone and called Tang Zhiyang.
Tang Zhiyang answered the phone and immediately asked, "Hello, how's the situation? Is that bastard Ye Feng dead?"
"Young Master Tang! I'm sorry, Ye Feng is not dead!" Qin Hao said, trembling.
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang was furious and roared, "What happened? Didn't you hire an assassin?"
Qin Hao said aggrievedly, "I, I did hire an assassin, but the assassin seems to have failed, and his phone fell into Ye Feng's hands."
"What? Damn it, you, you guys... you're really useless!" At this point, Tang Zhiyang was truly infuriated.
After hanging up the phone, he said with a gloomy expression, "As expected, I can't trust this useless Qin Hao. I have to find a way myself..."
