Thud!

Thud!

After an intense battle, both masters from the Koga Sect were blasted away, falling to the ground with weak breathing. Under their obscured faces, blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.

”Not bad in strength, huh!”

Xiao Yifeng glanced at Iga Hideko and said with a smile.

”Hmph!”

Iga Hideko’s gaze was icy as she snorted coldly, then shifted her attention to the two men.

Swish! Swish!

In a flash, Iga Hideko appeared in front of the two men, her Spiritual Sword sweeping through the air, and two sword lights swift as the wind flashed past.

Splat!

Splat!

Two Blood Arrows shot out, and two arms soared into the sky—as each master from the Koga Sect had one arm severed by Iga Hideko.

Agony flashed in their eyes, but they did not make a sound, evidently showing strong willpower.

”Go back and tell Matsumoto Mayu, if you want to kill me, you two aren’t qualified enough!”

After disabling their arms, Iga Hideko still had a cold expression as she spat out her words, her eyes brimming with an icy light.

The two men looked at Iga Hideko with fear in their eyes, got up from the ground, covered the areas of their severed limbs, and hurriedly left the area.

”That’s quite ruthless, I like it!”

Xiao Yifeng rested his chin on his right hand, watching Iga Hideko with an appreciative look.

Iga Hideko’s eyes swept toward Xiao Yifeng, releasing a cold aura from her body.

”Don’t tell me you still want to fight?”

Xiao Yifeng said helplessly.

”Once my strength has broken through, I will come back to challenge you!”

Iga Hideko said coldly, putting away the Spiritual Artifact and turning to leave the place.

”This woman is interesting!”

Xiao Yifeng smiled but then frowned slightly.

”It looks like I really need to find a Spiritual Sword. Otherwise, it’s really troublesome when dealing with masters who have Spiritual Artifacts!”

Xiao Yifeng muttered to himself. Previously, when he was abroad, he was accustomed to fighting barehanded since in the Mercenary World there were no Spiritual Artifacts, only firearms and bladed weapons.

Now back in his own country, he encountered Iga Hideko, a master with a Spiritual Artifact. Even though he could suppress her with his strength, the power of her Spiritual Artifact prevented him from unleashing his full potential.

After all, no matter how strong his body was, he had not yet transformed it into the Dominant Body. If he had transformed into the Dominant Body, naturally he would be immune to any weapon.

However, his body was still not capable of withstanding Spiritual Artifacts. If his opponent possessed one, and he was unarmed, he would be at a disadvantage.

Only, these Spiritual Artifacts were extremely rare, mostly existing within the Martial Arts World, virtually nonexistent in the secular world. Even if he wanted one, he had none.

”Should I ask the old man for a Spiritual Sword!”

Xiao Yifeng thought to himself. Although he had never seen his master use a Spiritual Artifact in combat, he believed that his master must have one.

Because the Pill Furnace he used for making Elixirs was a Spiritual Artifact, and a very advanced one at that. He was not sure about its specific level, but it was not an offensive Spiritual Artifact, otherwise Xiao Yifeng would have taken it long ago.

”Forget it, better not to ask. Otherwise, the old man might say I’m not capable enough. I refuse to believe I can’t find a Spiritual Artifact on my own.”

Xiao Yifeng pursed his lips, then went back to the villa to sleep.

The next day.

When dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, the entire internet in Jiangnan and even the entire south was in an uproar.

Somehow, a bevy of news about Qi Zhenghua, the chairman of the Jiangnan Commerce Association, began to circulate on the internet.

All of these news articles were about the disgraceful acts he conducted behind the scenes through the Commerce Association, many of which violated the law.

Every piece of news seemed well-founded and came with a plethora of evidence, which made it hard to dismiss as untrue.

As these scandals emerged, they caused a sensation online. A large number of internet users shared and posted about them, swiftly igniting widespread discussion across the entire southern internet sphere.

Simultaneously, the entire Jiangnan and southern business community was shaken. Many business elites and company executives were taken aback by the clandestine operations Qi Zhenghua had been running through the Commerce Association, and were even more shocked that all of it had been laid bare.

With the issue heating up and garnering intense discussion and attention, everyone knew that Qi Zhenghua was likely in grave danger.

The Qi Group and the Commerce Association were both greatly affected by this scandal, with the Qi Group’s stock plunging to its limit due to the exposure of Qi Zhenghua’s dark dealings.

Suddenly, the whole of Jiangnan was in complete turmoil.

As for Qi Zhenghua himself, he was woken from his sleep by his subordinates who rushed to his side in a hurry.

”What’s going on?”

With a cup of strong tea in his hand, Qi Zhenghua sipped slowly, puzzled by the urgent look on his subordinate’s face.

”Chairman, there’s... there’s been a problem.”

The suited subordinate spoke nervously, his eyes full of urgency.

”What happened, speak!”

Qi Zhenghua took a leisurely sip of his tea and said indifferently.

”Chairman, it’s better if you see for yourself.”

The subordinate said, opening up a laptop and pulling up all the news articles.

Spit!

When Qi Zhenghua saw the scandalous news online, his face changed dramatically, and he immediately spat out his tea onto the laptop, causing it to crash.

”What... what is this?”

Qi Zhenghua’s face was one of stunned disbelief, his pupils dilated in shock.

”Chairman, all over the internet, it’s all news about you, and it’s completely out there.”

The subordinate spoke with a grave tone.

”How could this be? How could this happen?”

With a pale face and trembling body, Qi Zhenghua roared, ”Hurry and get someone to delete all these news articles, wipe them clean, do it now!”

”It’s already too late, Chairman. The news has spread like wildfire online; there’s no way to suppress it. Moreover, probably everyone in Jiangnan and even in the south knows about it by now.”

As he spoke, the subordinate’s phone rang, and his face turned grave as he picked up the call.

”Chairman, I’ve just received word that our company’s stock has been suspended from trading, and a mass of shareholders are dumping our shares. Moreover, a force is continuously buying up these scattered stocks.”

”Damn it!”

Qi Zhenghua’s face was exceedingly grim, and he smashed the teacup onto the floor.

”Also...”

The subordinate hesitated, looking at Qi Zhenghua.

”Also what? Speak!”

Qi Zhenghua’s face was extremely dark, his eyes filled with intense anger.

”I just got the news that everyone at the Commerce Association is holding a meeting. It seems they are planning to call for your dismissal as the chairman of the Commerce Association.”

The subordinate ventured.

Bang!

Qi Zhenghua slammed his palm onto the tea table, his eyes seething with rage, and he coldly commanded, ”Let’s go!”
