Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

However, the man in black showed no sign of responding. He withdrew his gun half a step and fired another shot at Xu Bailing.

At most, it can withstand three more hits.

Xu Bailing silently calculated the remaining energy within her reach, staring indifferently at the spear that the man in black was offering to her chest.

She had already chosen to give up resistance, hoping that the teleportation technique could send her to a relatively safe place. However, the whistling sound of wind breaking, accompanied by a dull thud as she fell to the ground, gave Xu Bailing a glimmer of hope that she couldn't quite explain.

The black-haired youth stepped on the tip of his gun, blocking Xu Bailing and the man in black.

His expression turned slightly cold, his eyes sharp. "Who...are you?"

The ruthlessness of the man in black showed that he was definitely after lives.

Forty-Seven glanced at the troublemaker before him and clicked his tongue. Bronze beasts don't communicate with their prey, so it was even less likely that this troublemaker would make Forty-Seven speak.

However, the Xu Kingdom's secret guards never expected that Chu Xunfeng's questioning was not actually about getting an answer from them.

Forty-Seven tried to pull back the spear that Chu Xunfeng had stepped on, but unexpectedly Chu Xunfeng took the initiative to lift his foot, twist his body, and whipped the guard's head with a kick.

Forty-seven men held guns in both hands, attempting to block Chu Xunfeng's attack.

However, he seemed to have underestimated Chu Xunfeng.

However, Chu Xunfeng was very clear about the kind of opponent he was facing, so he did not hold back at all.

[Military Cultivation, Condensing Intent]

Without holding back or taking any chances, the leg whip lashed out halfway, and the cloud energy and phoenix blood mixed together and erupted, catching the Xu Kingdom's secret guards completely off guard.

The spear was bent by the kick, and Chu Xunfeng's foot landed directly on the guard's chest, stomping on the spear shaft.

Forty-seven was sent flying backwards, but Chu Xunfeng did not pursue him. Instead, he turned to the young lady and asked, "Miss Bai Ling, do you have a way to get out of this predicament?"

Xu Bailing pursed her lips and shook her head.

If she had a solution, she would have used it long ago; she wouldn't have waited until now.

"That's a bit troublesome." Chu Xunfeng sighed and looked into the depths of the forest.

Chu Xunfeng knew very well that his opponent had only been caught off guard and was not seriously injured or anything like that because of this attack.

A long spear flew towards the youth with a trembling motion, and behind the spear, the man in black pursued him with the spear, his murderous intent surging forth as he fiercely pressed down on Chu Xunfeng.

The meaning of being trapped in battle is death, not survival.

Although they couldn't see the expression on the man in black's face, the killing intent they could feel was unmistakable. In this situation, how long could Chu Xunfeng hold out?

As Xu Bailing thought of this, she heard a loud bang. She looked closely and saw that Chu Xunfeng was still standing not far in front of her, while the black-clad man holding the spear was once again sent flying into the deep forest.

"Chu Xunfeng...you." Xu Bailing looked at Chu Xunfeng's back in surprise.

"This person shouldn't have driven you to such a predicament, Miss Bai Ling, right? Does she have accomplices?"

Recalling the black-clad man with a chilling sword intent, Xu Bailing nodded slightly, "He is also at the Condensation Realm, a sword cultivator."

"Hold on a little longer, Uncle Wu should be able to find us." That was all Xu Bailing could pray for at this moment.

"I try my best."

Chu Xunfeng, assuming a fighting stance, stood in front of Xu Bailing, his eyes narrowed.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: So Close Yet So Far

Qi and blood collide with the intent of the spear.

With a flick and a thrust of the spear, Chu Xunfeng, who was blocking the spear, was sent flying. The young man spun in mid-air and landed, taking six steps back before crashing straight into Xu Bailing's arms.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Xu Bailing leaned against Chu Xunfeng's back and whispered an apology in the young man's ear, "You run quickly, I still have a life-saving treasure, his target is me."

"Nonsense." Chu Xunfeng slapped the tree behind him, and with a light cloud of energy, the young man pounced on the black-clad man with the gun like a tiger.

The gunner focuses his intent on breaking through enemy lines, growing stronger with each setback, fighting relentlessly until he is defeated.

System, load the Supreme Gun Bone for me!

I'm going to take his weapon!

[User, even with the Supreme Gun Bone equipped, you might not be able to...]

"Chu Xunfeng, you are no match for him!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" the young man hissed, and both the system and Xu Bailing fell silent.

"My ambition is to live a carefree life. If I run away today, my thoughts will never be clear for the rest of my life. What kind of carefree life will I have then!" Chu Xunfeng ran halfway, spun around, and delivered a powerful side kick.

This time, the young man's target was no longer the gunman, but the gun itself held by the man in black.

[Loading, Supreme Gun Bone]

“Chu Xunfeng… why did you have to go to such lengths…” Xu Bailing stared at the young man’s back, her hand tightly gripping the pendant on her chest.

The teleportation ability of "Zhi Chi" can be activated actively, and Xu Bailing really wanted to activate it directly to leave this place.

Normally, she wouldn't hesitate.

However, this moment is not ordinary.

That person is fighting desperately for me. If I teleport away now, wouldn't that be trampling on this friend's will to protect me at all costs?

Having lost his target, will the man in black choose to let Chu Xunfeng go?

She hesitated.

In that brief moment of hesitation, she saw Chu Xunfeng kick out the same kick that had ignited the clouds and burst into flames.

The spear in the black-clad man's hand almost slipped from his grasp under the force of the blow. At that moment, Chu Xunfeng finally extended his hands, which had been behind his back.

Their eyes met.

The man in black looked surprised, while Chu Xunfeng had a half-smile on his face.

This move not only stunned the man in black, but also surprised Xu Bailing, who had been anxiously waiting.

As a soldier, one of the essential lessons in training soldiers is how to deal with attempts to seize their troops. Chu Xunfeng's actions were akin to reaching into a rapidly spinning blender.

However, the reality was beyond the expectations of the man in black and Xu Bailing.

The spear was actually locked in a stalemate between the two men.

Chu Xunfeng felt his spine erupt with intense heat the moment he gripped the spear, and a will struggled within it.

"Give it to me!" Chu Xunfeng kicked at the man in black, but the man in black suddenly exerted force, twisting the long spear that the two of them were holding together, and used the spear shaft to block Chu Xunfeng's kick.

“You…” This was the first time the man in black had spoken, his voice hoarse and low, “and the bone.”

Chu Xunfeng did not respond, but raised his leg again and swept it towards the neck of the man in black.

The man in black took the blow head-on, gritting his teeth and bracing himself as he tried to wrest the weapon back.

Chu Xunfeng naturally wouldn't let the man in black have his way. He simply used his waist to lighten his body with the help of the clouds and mist, flipped over and straddled the man in black's shoulder. Leaning back, he used his waist to pull the man in black to the ground. He then used his strength to raise his spear high and kicked the man in black's shoulder hard.

The crisp sound of bones cracking filled Xu Bailing with a sense of absurdity, along with a strong, unsettling hope.

Xu Bailing herself was a military cultivator, so she understood what a stalemate in the struggle for troops meant.

First, Chu Xunfeng's cultivation level was similar to that of the man in black.

Secondly, Chu Xunfeng also possesses a weapon bone, most likely a spear bone.

Third, Chu Xunfeng's intent can clash with and counteract the black-clad man's intent of breaking through enemy lines.

When he boarded the ship during the autumn hunt, he was only at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm. Now, just two days after boarding in White Emperor City, he has actually reached the peak of the Blood Qi Realm, and...

He actually honed his skills in the struggle, clarified his intentions, and is now taking steps towards the realm of enlightenment.

Is this... really something a human can do?

The young man, lying on his back, twisted his hand, used his waist to generate power, and brought his legs together to fiercely kick the spear raised high in the air, while suddenly pulling his hand away.

The spear slipped from his grasp.

With his left arm dislocated and his right arm broken, the man in black struggled to turn over, only to see Chu Xunfeng, covered in dust and decaying leaves, already do a backward roll, get up, and pick up the spear that had fallen to the ground.

"Your spear is quite good..." Chu Xunfeng squinted, casually shook the spear that was still resisting him, and revealed a bright smile. "Now, it's mine."

The young man, slightly out of breath, stepped forward, raised his spear high, and brought it down under the black-clad man's twisted, bloodshot face.

Xu Bailing could only see Chu Xunfeng's back, and the black-clad man's body twitching and trembling after Chu Xunfeng thrust his spear down.

ended……

Xu Bailing slowly lowered her right hand, which was tightly clenched, and took a long breath.

"It's done." Chu Xunfeng pulled out the blood-stained spear, his slightly pale face turning to Xu Bailing not far away.

The young lady suddenly revealed a gentle smile. She opened her mouth, about to say something, but saw Chu Xunfeng's face suddenly turn ferocious, and he raised his right hand...

What does he want to do?

A spear aimed at me?

Xu Bailing felt her thoughts stretch endlessly at that moment; she could even clearly see the trajectory of Chu Xunfeng's spear as it flew out of his hand...

The top of one's own head?

The woman raised her head.
